Wang Yanzhou thought about all the recent events, including the time when he was infected with miasma. Tang Chen appeared quietly every day with dark circles under his eyes. He felt distressed and guilty: "...It's all my fault for making you worry and scared all the time."
Tang Chen quickly waved his hands and explained with a smile: "It's really nothing, don't listen to his nonsense, I just had a nightmare."
Mo Yu sighed helplessly and suggested, "Okay, okay, I'm just talking nonsense. Even if I'm talking nonsense, everyone has been woken up anyway. It's pitch black now, so why not tell us about your nightmare and let us cheer up."
Tang Chen thought of the dreams that troubled her no matter how hard she struggled. She didn't even want to recall them, let alone tell them about them and make them worry in vain: "...My refusal is not something fun."
Wang Ruo saw that the weather was good tonight, with no wind and a few stars in the sky, so she suggested, "Since she can't sleep now, why not take her out for a walk? Maybe she'll feel better."
"Um."
After Wang Yanzhou slowly left the cave with Tang Chen by the hand and went out for a walk holding the Night Pearl, Wang Ruo saw that they had gone far away and whispered, "She should be okay, right?"
Mo Yu nodded slightly and said, "It's okay for now. I usually see her laughing and joking, and I haven't paid much attention to her recently because I've been busy. If I don't take good care of her in the future, it will be a problem whether the child can be born."
Wang Ruo frowned slightly, realizing that the situation was not simple: "Is it really that serious?"
Mo Yu knew that many people saw these as minor ailments, and precisely because they were minor, they were often ignored. Over time, if minor ailments went untreated, they would become hidden dangers. When the "right time, right place, and right people" arrived, these hidden dangers would explode, with effects rivaling those of South Vietnam's artillery.
Therefore, Mo Yu reminded him earnestly: "Don't underestimate these minor symptoms. People with bad luck often get defeated by them."
...After walking outside and breathing some fresh air, Tang Chen's chest no longer felt as stuffy as before. The little guy in her belly also gradually calmed down and no longer added to her burden.
Wang Yanzhou saw that Tang Chen's complexion had improved a little, and asked again, "Do you feel better?"
Tang Chen smiled and said, "I'm really fine, don't listen to what he says."
That's what he said, but Tang Chen's two big bags under his eyes were solid evidence: "But you really haven't been sleeping well recently."
Tang Chen still had a playful smile on his face and explained nonchalantly: "It's a normal operation, don't worry, she's pregnant, right? Maybe the nightmare is actually about the little guy in her belly."
Wang Yanzhou took off his coat and put it on Tang Chen, then said, "Ah Chen, when we get back, just rest and take care of your pregnancy in the valley. Don't think about anything else, okay?"
This child was important to Wang Yanzhou, absolutely important, because he was his and Tang Chen's child. If he said he wasn't important, then that wasn't important either. If Tang Chen got into trouble because of this child, he would rather this little guy didn't exist.
Tang Chen knew Wang Yanzhou was worried about her, and there was nothing she could do about it. Being pregnant was indeed very difficult, but right now she had so many things to do and she really didn't want others to be distracted by her. "Okay, I'm really fine. When I get back, I'll be the same as before, eating and drinking as usual. You can reorganize the army and we'll make a comeback."
Wang Yanzhou gently embraced Tang Chen in his arms, his tone of voice still gentle; but what he didn't realize was that these words, invisibly, made the burden in Tang Chen's heart even heavier: "...Listen to me, you must take good care of yourself, otherwise, I don't know if I will abandon the tens of thousands of soldiers in the valley, and I don't know what I will do."
Tang Chen replied very straightforwardly: "I'll give you a favor. I'll listen to you this time."
After the two of them sat on the hillside and watched the flickering stars for a while, Tang Chen suddenly remembered Jiang Wangjiu, who had rushed back to the Bugui Peak after healing someone. "Oh, I forgot to tell you before, although Jiang Wangjiu was invited by my aunt, he saved my life before and said he wanted to take something from us as a reward."
Wang Yanzhou said, "I know what Bugui Peak wants. Don't worry, we won't lose anything if we give it to them."
Tang Chen said that Jiang Wangjiu didn't say that at the time: "But why did I hear him say that thing is very important to you?"
Wang Yanzhou smiled and said, "It was in the past, but it's not the most important thing now."
Tang Chen immediately understood what it meant to say that it was the same before but not the same now. If he dared to speak more bluntly, she wouldn't mind. "...I don't understand anything. How about you explain it in more detail?"
Wang Yanzhou gently kissed Tang Chen's forehead and said with a smile, "Really? Madam, if you didn't understand a few of my remarks, I won't repeat them. It's not important, not important."
Tang Chen gave Wang Yanzhou a look of disdain and sighed, "Tsk tsk tsk, Gouzi, no, Old Wang, you've changed."
Wang Yanzhou smiled and carefully picked up Tang Chen. "The wind is blowing. Let's go back. It's still early. You can get some more sleep. We have to continue our journey tomorrow."
"Um."
After arriving peacefully near Qingliang Valley, Tang Chen held Wang Yanzhou's hand with one hand and brushed the morning dew off the bushes by the roadside with the other. After seeing the outline of the Qingliang Valley's entrance from afar, Tang Chen, who had been full of excitement, suddenly stopped.
Wang Yanzhou tilted his head to look at her and asked, "Are you tired?"
Tang Chen shook his head slightly, his expression suddenly becoming serious: "No, do you feel something is strange?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Yanzhou and the other two thought Tang Chen had discovered something strange, so they quickly took her into the woods and carefully surveyed their surroundings. However, based on Wang Ruo's years of experience, they were indeed the only ones present. "I didn't find anything unusual. What did you see just now?"
Tang Chen explained in a low voice: "How come we haven't encountered any pursuers along the way? Didn't the South Vietnamese leave people lying in ambush outside the valley? Why haven't we seen any of them?"
Wang Yanzhou considered the situation for a moment, then slowly helped Tang Chen up and said, "Xie Zhuangshui probably still thinks we're in Zhiyou Forest. As for the ambush outside the valley, with Shaoqing here, it's probably been cleared out."
Tang Chen was stunned for a moment before saying, "It sounds very safe. Let's quickly enter the valley and reunite with everyone."
Wang Yanzhou said that looking at Tang Chen's behavior, he might have been too nervous recently and was therefore afraid of everything.
