After Grandpa Zhao finished reading it, Lu Chuan also took a look at it for a while and exclaimed that this thing had come at the perfect time.
The three grown men kept examining the telescope, like children who had received their favorite toy and couldn't bear to put it down for a moment.
Time flies! It's already August, and Xu Han is six months pregnant. Grandpa Zhao took Xu Han's pulse and said that the baby is doing well so far, and she can just relax and take care of herself.
Xu Han's appetite has been quite good lately. She's no longer experiencing morning sickness and is eating more. Her weight is increasing rapidly, and to prevent becoming overweight, she's now careful not to eat too much.
I eat small, frequent meals every day, including a variety of foods such as meat, fruit, and vegetables, to try to achieve a balanced diet.
She would also take a walk in the yard after meals, and insisted on taking a walk for a period of time every day. Although it was tiring, Xu Han persisted in doing so in order to have a better delivery in the future.
During this period, the gate was kept closed every day, and people tried not to go out except to fetch water.
The four of them were stuck at home every day, unable to go anywhere, and were really bored, so Lu Chuan took the Taoist priest and Grandpa Zhao to continue making furniture.
With ample time, the furniture was also carved with patterns, making it exceptionally beautiful and elevating its overall style.
Now the water flow at the waterfall has completely dried up. Whenever the water tank at home runs out of water, the four of them will go together to the reservoir at the waterfall to fetch water.
Because Xu Han would definitely need to rest during her postpartum period, it would be inconvenient to fetch water from outside. Therefore, before the delivery, the water used was always from outside, and the water in the family's water tank was kept as dry as possible.
Every action is taken together, whether it's fetching water or firewood. The key is to act as a team. Whenever we go out, everyone goes together, and no one is left at home.
During this time, Lu Chuan and the Taoist priest also discovered a large tiger. In order to eliminate any safety hazards, after careful observation, they confirmed that there were no other large animals nearby. The Taoist priest then took Lu Chuan to deal with the tiger.
The tiger they hunted was brought back by the two men, and Grandpa Zhao kept the tiger penis and other medicinal materials, processing them into medicines for preservation.
Lu Chuan cooked the rest of the tiger meat and fed it to the dogs.
To prevent smoke from rising during the day and being seen by others, Lu Chuan cooked it at night.
They didn't dare add anything else, for fear of attracting other large animals; they simply cooked it and fed it to the dogs.
Since tanning tiger skin requires a lot of water, it was simply left unprocessed and placed in Xu Han's spatial storage, to be done later when water was plentiful.
The past month or so has been relatively peaceful, with nothing major happening and everything proceeding in an orderly manner.
That night, because Xu Han had slept too much at noon, she didn't feel sleepy at all and couldn't fall asleep.
So Lu Chuan didn't sleep either, and kept lying on Xu Han's belly talking to the baby inside.
"Baby, I'm Daddy. You have to be good in Mommy's tummy, okay? You can't be naughty, and you're not allowed to bother Mommy." Lu Chuan rambled on and on.
As if the baby inside Xu Han's belly understood, Xu Han and Lu Chuan could clearly see the baby kick Xu Han.
Lu Chuan laughed, saying, "What, you have a problem with that? I'll teach you a lesson when you get out."
Xu Han watched Lu Chuan interact with the baby in her belly with a big, maternal smile.
“It’s already six months, and I haven’t even started making clothes for the baby yet! I’ll get the fabric out tomorrow and start making clothes for the baby. If I don’t start now, it’ll be too late. What will the baby do if he has no clothes to wear?” Xu Han said.
"Okay, there's nothing I can do to help you with this. Just call me if there's anything you need me to do, and I'll take care of it."
"Okay! I understand. It's getting late, let's go to sleep!" Xu Han said, then prepared to lie down.
Upon hearing this, Lu Chuan got up to blow out the lamp, but before he could even extinguish it, the dogs outside started barking wildly.
Seeing this, the two exchanged a glance, both understanding that the loud barking of all the dogs meant something big was about to happen.
Xu Han, who had been feeling sleepy, suddenly perked up. Seeing this, Lu Chuan quickly grabbed Xu Han's hand and said, "Don't be afraid, wife. Stay in the room. I'll go out and check."
"Okay, be careful." Lu Chuan was about to leave the room when he heard this, but before he could even open the door, he heard the Taoist priest's voice coming from outside.
"Xiao Chuan, open the door quickly," Grandpa Zhao said softly.
Lu Chuan opened the door and saw Grandpa Zhao walk in, while the Taoist priest had already gently opened the door a crack and begun to observe the situation outside.
The dogs outside lined up in front of the door, determined to protect their owner inside.
"Go and check on the situation with the Taoist priest! Be sure to be careful. Don't worry about Xiaohan! I'm here!" Grandpa Zhao said as he came in.
“Alright, then thank you for your trouble, Grandpa Zhao. You guys keep the door blocked from the inside, and no matter what happens, you absolutely cannot come out,” Lu Chuan said.
"I understand. Go check on the situation quickly! If it gets too dangerous, we'll hide in the cellar," Xu Han said.
Seeing this, Lu Chuan said nothing more and hurriedly left the room to observe the situation outside with the Taoist priest.
“It’s a pack of wolves, there must be quite a few. Looks like I won’t be able to sleep well tonight,” the Taoist priest said as Lu Chuan approached.
Lu Chuan breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this; at least it wasn't a human. However, he became tense again when he heard that the wolf pack was quite large.
He said, "Then what should we do? Wolves are the most vengeful animals. We must hunt them all down. We can't let a single one escape."
“We don’t know exactly how many wolves are outside right now. Let’s move Xiao Han to the cellar first. Don’t let her stay in the house. It would be troublesome if wolves ran in,” the Taoist priest said calmly.
"Okay, I understand." Lu Chuan said and went back to his room.
After entering the room, he first blocked the windows from the inside, and then said to Xu Han, "It's a pack of wolves. I'll take you to the cellar to hide for a while. It's not safe here. If we don't notice and some wolves sneak in, we'll be in trouble."
Upon hearing that it was a pack of wolves, Xu Han, though terrified, forced herself to remain calm and said, "Alright, there's nothing I can do to help you. I'll just stay quietly in the cellar and try not to cause you any trouble."
