The moon is bright and the stars are few, the shadows of the trees are dappled.
Chi Dashan leaned against a large tree, unable to come to his senses for a long time.
He never expected that his wife was more than three months pregnant!
If he hadn't been so careless, maybe the child could have been saved!
If he had known he would one day be wandering across mountains and valleys, he should have kept his distance!
How could I let my wife suffer like this?
So much blood...
How much his wife must love him!
Thinking of this, Chi Dashan felt waves of pain in his chest.
"In this world, it's good enough if everyone in your family is alive and well. If you look on the bright side, things might not be so hard."
Guan Wu patted Chi Dashan on the shoulder and sat down next to him.
The two of them were on night watch for the first half of the night.
Guan Wu said, “Think about it, even if this child is lost or born at full term, if we can’t get out of the mountains, or if we encounter bandits or other troubles when we go out, this child will suffer endless hardships from birth… It would be better if we had never met, so that he could be reborn into a good family sooner and avoid living a life of wandering with us.”
Who doesn't love children?
But if being born only leads to suffering, then it's better not to be born at all.
Chi Dashan: "...I didn't feel comforted at all."
This technique of comforting people is somewhat unsatisfactory.
but……
"Thank you."
"Sigh. Stop thinking about it all the time. If you keep thinking about it and can't get over it, what will happen to your wife? What will happen to your parents? You're a man, you have to stand up for yourself!"
Guan Wu sighed.
In these famine years, it is really not easy to protect the whole family and keep them alive.
Chi Dashan nodded vigorously.
Yes, what will happen to his family if he collapses?
——
Early the next morning, Chi Tang quietly took out a can of protein powder and asked her mother to boil water for her sister-in-law to drink.
Chi Tang lay on the mattress, took out a piece of candy and stuffed it into Chi Da Sao's mouth, saying like a little adult, "Da Se, get better! Sweet."
"Tangtang can call me 'sister-in-law' now?" Sister-in-law Chi forced a smile and secretly asked Chi Tang, "Tangtang, do you think I'll be able to have children in the future? Will I be able to have a daughter?"
I lost so much blood, and there was no medicine, so I could only tough it out.
Although her family caught fish and cooked meat for her, she knew very well how weak her body was.
Even though her younger sister secretly gave her something to drink, she was still worried.
Chi Tang nodded vigorously: "Yes!"
With such a kind-hearted sister-in-law, she will surely get what she wants!
Sister-in-law Chi hugged and kissed Chi Tang, and this simple action made her forehead break out in a cold sweat.
A moment later, Chi Shuxing came running over, fiddling with a peeled egg in his hands: "Mom, eat up! I picked this up this morning!"
Even a child knows that their mother has suffered.
I tried every possible way to make my mother eat something delicious.
Sister-in-law Chi felt extremely pleased, and after taking only one bite of the egg, she refused to eat any more.
They insisted on sharing the food among the children.
He only ate it all when Chi Shuxing's eyes turned red.
"You can't refuse a child's good intentions. Besides, you need to get well soon so everyone can feel at ease."
Aunt Chi packed her things while trying to persuade her.
Aunt Chi nodded vigorously.
She wasn't the type to be dramatic or dwell on things. Although losing a child was painful, she wasn't devastated.
After everyone had packed their things, Old Man Li squatted down in front of his daughter, patted her shoulder, and said in a steady voice, "Come on, Dad will carry you on his back."
Your father may never express his concern for you.
But it is always there.
Sister-in-law Chi's eyes were red, and her face was also red. Without any pretense, she climbed onto her father's back.
You know your own body best; trying to be strong will only hold others back.
Along the way, Old Man Li, Li Mingfan, and Chi Dashan took turns carrying Sister-in-law Chi on their backs.
Meanwhile, Chi Shuxing and Xiao Suotou chattered away with Chi Dasao the whole way, afraid that she might do something like Old Mrs. Li and commit suicide out of concern for being a burden to them.
The two children dared not leave Sister Chi's side.
Even Chi Tang would occasionally tease Sister-in-law Chi, giving her a bottle of milk or a piece of candy.
The mother-in-law, Aunt Chi, her own mother, and Li Mingfan's wife tried their best to cook delicious and nutritious food to help Sister-in-law Chi recover.
I don't mind the trouble of making meat porridge, fish soup, or chicken soup.
Little Fifth Brother would secretly follow the two boys from the Li family to steal bird eggs and go out to find pheasants and the like.
With everyone treating her so well and taking care of her, how could Sister-in-law Chi possibly have any suicidal thoughts?
I don't know if it's the protein powder or the fact that I drink fish soup and eat eggs and meat every day for nutrition.
Anyway, by the third day, Sister-in-law Chi was able to occasionally get down and walk around on her own.
By the fifth day, he was walking on his own for most of the time.
By the tenth day, she was able to walk on her own, though her complexion was still somewhat pale.
In the deep mountains, it gets quite cold in mid-October, and you have to light a campfire at night, otherwise you won't be able to sleep because of the cold.
Several of the little ones also caught colds one after another.
Fortunately, Chi Tang secretly took out some cold medicine and asked Aunt Chi to boil water for everyone to drink.
Although the taste was a bit strange, it was sweet after all, so no one suspected anything.
After that, Chi Tang would take out protein powder for his family to drink every day in order to boost their immunity.
Getting sick here is no laughing matter.
