On the verge of an emotional breakdown, he knelt before the bed, holding his child, and muttered to Lin Yinan.
"Anan, you've been asleep for three days, why aren't you awake yet?"
"Please open your eyes and look at me, look at the child!"
“You’re always so heartless, wanting to abandon us, father and daughter, without a word.”
"..."
Lin Yinan was annoyed by his nagging and wished she could slap him away. She raised her hand, but it was limp and had no strength at all.
Yun Mo quickly grasped her hand, momentarily forgetting the child he was holding in his arms.
"Anan, you're awake!"
The child felt very comfortable in his arms and started crying loudly and clearly.
A mother and daughter are of one heart. When the child cried, Lin Yinan felt a hard lump in her chest, followed by a warm liquid flowing out and wetting her clothes.
Slowly opening his eyes, he was met with Yun Mo's bright, bloodshot eyes, his face full of joy and stubble.
"Anan, you're finally awake."
Lin Yinan struggled to sit up against the bed, opened her mouth, her throat was very dry, "Give me the child."
Yun Mo then remembered the crying child in his arms, and carefully placed him in Lin Yinan's arms, supporting him from below with his hands so that she could hold him securely.
As soon as the child was in Lin Yinan's arms, he cried even louder, seemingly expressing his dissatisfaction with being neglected these past few days.
Lin Yinan looked at the child carefully. The child had grown a bit and was no longer red or wrinkled.
Yun Mo, thinking she still didn't know whether it was a boy or a girl, excitedly said, "It's a daughter, Anan, we have a daughter."
She unwrapped the baby to see if the child had soiled himself.
The diaper is dry; it hasn't soiled.
Thinking of something, Lin Yinan pulled down the blanket, revealing that the chest area of her outer clothes was slightly damp.
As she reached out to unbutton the first button, she noticed Yun Mo's burning gaze fixed on her chest.
He swallowed hard and said dryly, "Do you want to breastfeed the baby?"
"Hmm, she's probably hungry. Could you wring out a handkerchief for me?" Lin Yinan instructed him while continuing to unbutton his shirt.
Yun Mo moved swiftly, handing the wrung-out handkerchief to Lin Yinan, his eyes glued to her fair skin.
Lin Yinan took the handkerchief and wiped herself, then began breastfeeding the baby.
It was her first time breastfeeding, and her movements were stiff. She tried several times but the baby couldn't get any milk. Yun Mo, who was watching from the side, was even more anxious and quickly reached out to help lift the baby up.
Only then was the baby able to suckle.
At this moment, Yunmu pushed open the door and came in. She saw that Lin Yinan had woken up and was nursing the baby, and her eyes lit up.
"Anan is awake!"
Lin Yinan smiled at her somewhat embarrassedly, "Mother."
Yunmu leaned closer to see that the baby was already nursing, and when she saw Yunmo stiffly holding the baby, she couldn't help but chuckle.
She picked up a soft pillow and placed it on the child, then said to Yun Mo, "Alright, you can let go now."
Yun Mo reluctantly let go of her hand, sat on the edge of the bed and stared at her intently, showing no intention of leaving.
"Anan, are you hungry? The kitchen has made chicken soup. I'll go get it for you."
Mica went out and closed the door.
Lin Yinan couldn't stand his scorching gaze, so she ordered him to do something, "I'm thirsty, pour me a glass of water."
Yun Mo tested the water temperature, brought it to her lips, and said softly, "It's not hot, drink it."
Lin Yinan was still thirsty after finishing her drink, and looked at him expectantly, "I'm so thirsty, I want more."
After drinking half a pot of water, Lin Yinan felt as if his meridians had come alive.
"By the way, how did the ninja infiltration go that day? Were there many casualties?" Recalling the danger of that time, Lin Yinan looked up and asked him.
Yun Mo put down the kettle, sat back down on the bedside, and told her in detail what had happened next.
"Six infiltrated in total, and they were all killed. Second Brother led his men to check several times to make sure no one escaped. Those ninjas were ruthless. When they found the bodies of the midwife and two other men in the ruins of the city, they killed them all with a single blow."
Lin Yinan couldn't swallow her anger after being beaten.
"They won't let this go easily now that they've lost so many men."
"My second brother, Yun Yiersan, and I discussed it and decided to take some people to harass them as well."
Lin Yinan's eyes flashed fiercely. "Yes, we can't let those Japanese pirates think we're easy to bully."
Yun Mo said, "I'll tell my second brother later and have him make preparations. By the way, do you still have the explosives you made before? Take some with you this time to have some on hand."
When the topic of homemade explosives came up, Lin Yinan's expression turned serious.
After thinking for a moment, she said, "I'll have you take some homemade explosives with you. We should avoid using them if possible."
"Why not use something so powerful?" Yun Mo couldn't figure out the key point for a moment.
Previously, they were lucky to escape being watched while fleeing, and with so many people migrating south, it was impossible to investigate them.
Lin Yinan said, "Because there is a risk of being exposed, we have just arrived in the South, and our troops and supplies are not yet strong enough. We have not yet established a firm foothold. If we are targeted by the Northern Army, or if the powerful families of the South unite, how much chance do I think we have?"
Upon hearing this, Yun Mo's expression changed drastically, and his demeanor gradually became serious. "It was my oversight. It seems that this matter needs to be carefully considered."
“Remember, it can only be used as homemade explosives. We need to scare the Japanese pirates once and for all.” After a pause, Lin Yinan continued, “For the families in the city who were injured or killed, give them a proper burial and have my brother compensate them with some money and grain to appease them.”
"Don't worry, your brother-in-law has already made the arrangements. Just focus on your postpartum recovery this month. If you need anything, just let us know."
Lin Yinan nodded, "Okay."
She looked down at her child, who was already full and asleep, and her expression softened immediately. She straightened her clothes and, following the instructions in the book, held her upright and gently patted her to help her burp.
Gazing at Lin Yinan, whose gentle features radiated maternal warmth, Yun Mo said softly, "You can choose the child's name."
"No rush, let me think about it."
Lin Yinan put the child down, and Yun Mo helped her up to relieve herself.
She had just finished tidying up and lay down when Yunmu brought in chicken soup, followed by Old Mrs. Zhao, Li Shulan, Zhang Shi, and others.
"Thank God, Anan has finally woken up." Grandma Zhao walked in carrying a small package.
Yun Mo stood up to greet his elders and made room for them by the bed.
Li Shulan stepped forward, took the sleeping child from Lin Yinan's arms, glanced at him, and handed him to Old Mrs. Zhao.
"The birth went smoothly. My daughter is a blessed child and knows how to love her mother."
Yunmo moved a tea table over and placed the chicken soup and a bowl on it.
Li Shulan picked up the bowl to feed Lin Yinan.
Lin Yinan sat up. "Mom, I can do it myself."
Unable to dissuade her, Li Shulan stood by nervously watching, afraid that she might lose her balance.
"Mom, I'm really fine," Lin Yinan said with a smile.
"What happened that night really scared your mother and me." Old Mrs. Zhao still felt lingering fear when she thought about that night.
Li Shulan used a handkerchief to wipe away the tears welling up in her eyes. If Anan hadn't intervened, she and her mother-in-law wouldn't have had a chance to survive.
