Chapter 86



The medicine prescribed by Doctor Wang must have been effective, and Liu Chang's inversion method might have also played a role. The next day, Yin Xiaoman's bleeding stopped.

But despite this, she was forced to lie upside down on the bed for seven days.

During these seven days, there would be a group of people around her every day asking about her well-being, especially the one, big and three children in the family.

Since we don't have to go to the mountains to pick fruits and we can't go out to play when it rains, there is basically nothing else to do except delivering meals to the experts.

So Da Mi and the others all made it their top priority to keep a close eye on Yin Xiaoman and not let her get out of bed.

Several little ones even divided up the work for this purpose, and except for sleeping, there was almost always someone around her.

This gave Yin Xiaoman a headache, but he had no way to deal with it.

Fortunately, apart from having to battle wits and courage with a few little guys every day, running to the space to drink medicine when they were not paying attention, and eating all kinds of delicious food prepared for her by Lichun, these days can be said to be the most relaxing life that Yin Xiaoman has had since she came to this world.

Because of her current physical condition, everyone subconsciously avoids telling her bad things. All she heard were happy things.

For example, the food saved everyone on the island from disaster in an instant.

For example, the rain has been getting lighter these days, and there are signs that the weather is going to clear up.

Even if the chickens at home laid two more eggs today, or the vegetables planted by Aunt Cui sprouted a few more sprouts, Erniu would specially collect them and tell her the good news.

It can be seen that everyone in the family is working hard to keep her in a good mood.

At the same time, Lichun was also immersed in the excitement of suddenly becoming a senior sister and could no longer calm down.

She didn't know where she found so many secret recipes, and she made different meals for Yin Xiaoman every day.

After noticing that she was now interested in meat, I cooked various kinds of meat, including beef, mutton, pork, and poultry, in different dishes every day, including roasted, fried, stewed, and steamed ones.

As a result, Yin Xiaoman had to remind herself every day, "Don't eat too much, don't eat too much...", but she would still easily eat too much if she was not careful.

Fortunately, Liu Chang's method of letting her sleep upside down gave her an excuse of "feeling stuffy, having no appetite, and being unable to eat" -

Otherwise, she had no way to explain why she often couldn't eat the delicious food that Da Mi and the others tried their best to make.

In the end, Yin Xiaoman had to put a set of tableware in her room in the palace to hold the food that she could not finish, so that she could save it for later when she needed it.

Now, in just a few days, the room was filled with enough food to last her many days.

And her little face had become rounder without her noticing because of what these people had fed her.

Seeing that she ate so little every day, Shen Qingyun was very worried at first.

He even secretly looked for Cui Yan many times for this purpose, and chased her to ask if there was anything that was more suitable for his wife to eat and could nourish her body.

He said that as long as his sister-in-law could tell him, he would find a way to get it.

This made Cui Yan very angry.

Later, after seeing his wife's complexion getting better and better and her small body starting to gain weight, Shen Qingyun finally stopped being so weird and nervous.

But his silly look made Cui Yan, who had always been good friends with Yin Xiaoman, feel more and more sad.

She couldn't help but think of how Qi Feng didn't even come home when she gave birth to her child. He was completely a hands-off boss...

If you compare yourself to others, you will die; if you compare goods, you will be thrown away.

She never thought her man was a bastard before, but now the more she thinks about it, the angrier she gets, so much so that Cui Yan hasn't been nice to her man for many days and has been disgusted with Qi Feng in all kinds of ways.

Even Instructor Qi, who is always the best at ideological work, was given a headache.

I wish I could find a deserted place to give my stupid brother a good beating.

"The sun is coming out!"

Someone's shout made everyone suddenly realize that the rain that had been bothering them for more than half a month had finally stopped.

The dark clouds dispersed, and the sun, which had not appeared for a long time, finally came out, and the sky became clear.

When the scorching sun burned the earth again, the trees that had been soaked in rain for a long time, the ground evaporated into bursts of mist, and the island almost turned into a big steamer in an instant, and it was stuffy and hot everywhere.

But no one cared.

Even the scorching sun could not hide people's excitement, and the island suddenly became lively.

Everyone went out of their homes, came to the open space, and felt the warm sunshine. Many people even pulled ropes directly on the playground and took out clothes and bedding that were so damp that water could be wrung out of them to hang out to dry.

The camp leaders did not interfere and adopted a tacit attitude.

This made everyone feel more relaxed.

The next day, after more than a month, the supply ship finally arrived.

This time, it wasn't just the boat that usually came, there was also a patrol boat from the Second Battalion.

When the two ships docked at the shore at the same time, a long and warm cheer rang out on the island.

Unlike the joy of the people on the island when they saw Lupin and his friends coming, Yin Xiaoman was actually a little panicked.

Because she had learned from the man that Lupin did not come alone this time, and he did not just want to come to see everyone's situation, he also wanted to take a look at the cave himself.

At the same time, he also brought an investigation team of ten people to investigate the sudden appearance of such a large amount of food on the island.

Although Yin Xiaoman recalled it over and over again, he couldn't figure out any clues he had left behind at that time.

And she felt that even if something was accidentally left behind at that time, it had been so long, it was raining, and there were so many people walking around nearby, it would have been almost destroyed long ago.

But the man said that this time Captain Lu had specifically consulted his superiors, and then invited trace experts, investigation experts, and geological experts from the capital... In short, he wanted to get to the bottom of the matter.

Yin Xiaoman didn't know how capable these experts were, but seeing the admiring expressions on the men's faces when they talked about it, she was still a little nervous after listening to them.

But what can I do if I'm nervous?

It's all done.

She glanced at her feet that were propped up high, and could only hope that—

Even if he was an expert, he shouldn't be able to find anything on the head of a pregnant woman, right?

But she was really wrong about this.

That very afternoon, those people came to her house to find out what happened.

This is the first time in all his years that Yin Xiaoman has met someone while lying in bed!

Fortunately, everyone understood her predicament, and it was obvious that no one really connected her with the food.

So only two people came, and they were accompanied by men.

The ones who came were Lupin and another middle-aged man wearing glasses.

After the initial condolences and pleasantries, the two men asked in detail about all the details of her appearance in the bushes that day and her eventual fainting.

Fortunately, Yin Xiaoman had been asked these questions too many times by men and people around her before, so she had become very familiar with them. She even refined the details over and over again, and there were no mistakes to be found.

Sure enough, after listening to her story and with the three children testifying, Lupin and the middle-aged man did not ask any more questions.

It was obvious that she accepted their explanation. I believe that Yin Xiaoman just went to see if there was anything to eat there, and then she fainted because she was pregnant and her physical strength could not keep up.

As for the fact that Da Mi and Er Niu finally found the cave and got the food because of saving her, it was purely a coincidence.

All I can say is that it is a blessing for the people of the entire island and has nothing to do with her and the children.

After seeing these people off, the huge rock that had been weighing on my heart finally fell to the ground, and the previous anxiety finally disappeared without a trace. Yin Xiaoman felt that he felt much lighter.

From raising grain to delivering it, we went through a lot of things and faced a lot of difficulties, and even almost lost half our lives. But Yin Xiaoman never had any regrets from beginning to end.

If it had happened in her previous life, given her personality, she probably wouldn't have done something so thankless and even risky, and she would have found it unbelievable to even think about it.

But that was the past life after all.

At that time, her life was not bad, and her material conditions were many times better than they are now.

But my heart is cold.

Apart from the little warmth he could feel from a limited number of people, Yin Xiaoman couldn't even figure out the meaning of his life.

In the palace, her only thought and hope to maintain her life was to act cautiously and leave the palace as soon as possible.

But what would happen if he really left the palace?

There are so many examples of old palace maids right in front of us. In fact, they just moved to another place and continued to live a lukewarm life.

But in this life, although I don’t eat well, I don’t dress well, and I even have a lot of bad things. There were a few times when I almost lost my life.

But here, she felt the warmth that she had never dared to imagine before.

Not to mention what the men and children gave her, just talk about the people around her.

From Mr. Hua to Ning Gong; from Qi Feng and his wife to Liu Chang; from Ren Pingan, Shi Lei to Li Fang, Qiao Mai...

There are also those soldiers and their families whose names she can't even remember.

There are even children who surround her and call her auntie every day.

These people made her feel warmth and kindness, and gradually became a part of her life, which she cherished and cared about so much that she could not give them up.

Therefore, even though she knew that transporting the food would put herself in a dangerous situation, she was still able to do it without hesitation and keep her merit and fame to herself.

After that visit, Lupin's working group never came to see her again. After staying on the island for three days, consulting many people, and surveying many places around, even though they were all experts in various fields, they still had to return empty-handed in the end.

Because there are really no traces of human intervention.

Yin Xiaoman didn’t know how the matter was finally concluded, but what made her happy was that those people finally decided to go back.

She was very happy and thought that after those people left, she could continue to live like a pig, happily and without having to use her brain. But what she didn't expect was that the day before those people were about to leave, the man told her a piece of news that she had never expected.

At that moment, Yin Xiaoman felt as if he was struck by lightning!

Shen Qingyun came back half a day early that day and brought Liu Chang with her to do a comprehensive examination for her.

Yin Xiaoman had become accustomed to the nervousness of men in recent days, and had met Liu Chang too many times, so until now, she had not realized that these two people had made the decision to send her away without her knowledge.

So when she heard that Liu Chang suggested that she stay in the regiment hospital for a while and get a comprehensive checkup, and that the man had agreed, and had even called the regiment commander on the military line, and had already arranged a bed for her, and that she would be leaving tomorrow—

Yin Xiaoman was completely stunned.

"I won't go. I know my own body and there's nothing wrong with me." Yin Xiaoman refused from the bottom of his heart.

"Sister-in-law, you still have to go." Liu Chang's expression was more serious than ever.

“You haven’t been to the regimental hospital, so you don’t know, but the examination facilities there are quite comprehensive.

I know you've recovered well recently, but you can't really know what it's like based on your own feelings. It would be more reassuring if you get it checked by a professional doctor. ”

"So many people gave birth to their children and didn't go to the regimental hospital you mentioned, but they gave birth as usual. Why should I go? I won't go." Yin Xiaoman rarely got stubborn.

People always have an innate fear of things they don't know.

Yin Xiaoman had never been to a hospital, at most he had been to the camp clinic a few times.

Not only had she never been there in her previous life, but her original incarnation in this life had never been there either.

Before that, her parents only sought treatment from the barefoot doctor in the commune and never went to the hospital until the end.

Therefore, the more seriously Liu Chang spoke and praised the professional abilities of those doctors to the sky, the more frightened Yin Xiaoman became.

She began to be afraid that the so-called professional equipment would be able to see the differences between her and others.

This really made her feel resistant.

Liu Chang spoke until his mouth was dry, but he still failed to convince Yin Xiaoman. In the end, he could only look at Shen Qingyun helplessly.

Shen Qingyun waved his hand, signaling him to leave, then walked to the door and closed it, then came over and knelt in front of his wife who was lying on the bed, tense and obviously still angry.

He didn't say anything, but put his arms around Yin Xiaoman's shoulders, held her in his arms, and slowly stroked her back.

It was not until her body gradually softened and she subconsciously leaned into his arms again that she began to speak.

"Xiao Man, tell me why you don't want to go to the hospital? Are you angry that I didn't tell you in advance?"

Yin Xiaoman shook his head.

Liu Chang has made it very clear just now. Although Shen Qingyun told the team leader about this matter at the beginning, the team leader did not reply to him immediately.

Due to the special nature of Zhongshan Island, people on the island cannot enter and leave the island as they please. It must be discussed and approved at a group meeting.

Yin Xiaoman's identity is different from others. She is responsible for the meals of the expert group and can freely enter and exit the expert group's work area. It can be said that she has the closest contact with those people and is already a confidential personnel.

We must be on guard against the various uncertainties that will arise when she leaves the island.

So even though Shen Qingyun explained the seriousness of her current situation, and Lupin agreed with it from the bottom of his heart, no one dared to agree to it at that time without attending the meeting and without the consent of the leaders of the group.

Since the leader did not agree, Shen Qingyun naturally had no way to discuss it with her in advance.

It was not until Lupin arrived on the island that they learned that the matter had been brought to a meeting of the group.

She also agreed to Shen Qingyun's request to let her go ashore for examination and treatment.

Not only that, in order to prevent leaks, the regiment also made an exception and applied for an independent ward for her in the regiment hospital, equipped with special medical staff to take care of all matters during her hospitalization.

It is precisely because of this that Yin Xiaoman is even more afraid. She was afraid that she would be exposed to those people's eyes at any moment and they would find out something she wanted to hide.

For example, would she still have the chance to suddenly disappear?

No matter how much Liu Chang talked, Yin Xiaoman still believed in Doctor Wang's medical skills more than those of other doctors.

"Why is that? Don't you want to leave home?" Shen Qingyun continued to ask.

Yin Xiaoman hesitated for a moment and said nothing.

She really didn't want to leave home.

Supply ships only travel to and from the island once a month.

If she leaves this time, it means that no matter what the results of her examination there are, she will not be able to come back until this time next month at the earliest.

It has been almost three years since she came into this world, and she has never been away from home for such a long time.

Although at home, she would get angry every day because of the man and those little brats, and sometimes she would get so angry that her head would hurt. But she felt uncomfortable when she thought about leaving home and staying alone in a completely unfamiliar place for such a long time.

Pregnant women have mood swings and are very sensitive.

When Shen Qingyun asked this, Yin Xiaoman suddenly felt uncomfortable and his eyes turned red.

She rubbed her face on the man's clothes, and immediately a small water stain appeared on the clothes.

Staring at the water stain, Shen Qingyun felt extremely distressed. But he knew that he absolutely could not let his wife do this.

This is a big deal.

He lowered his head and kissed his wife's hair, coaxing her like he was coaxing a child: "Don't be afraid, Xiaoman, just go for the checkup. The children and I will be waiting for you at home. A month will pass quickly. You can do the same checkup every day, and it will be almost time for you to come back after the checkup. When the time comes, I will bring my son and daughter to the shore to pick you up."

Yin Xiaoman blinked, but didn't believe what he said at all.

But without giving her a chance to refute, Shen Qingyun continued, "I don't want you to leave either. When I think about you leaving the island alone and living in the group, I worry so much that I can't sleep all night. With your personality, you don't want to bother others at home. If you don't eat well or sleep well there, you will definitely not tell others.

When I think of this, I feel…"

Shen Qingyun had never been so frank with others about his feelings in his entire life, even if the other person was his wife.

Having said this, he had no idea how to express himself, so he could only grab Yin Xiaoman's hand and place it on his chest.

As if this could make her feel his burning heart.

"Then don't go. I'll stay at home with you." Yin Xiaoman put her hand on his chest, looked up at him, and spoke softly.

That expression was as if Erniu was asking him for something. She looked well-behaved, sensible, and pitiful.

Shen Qingyun's heart was melted by what he saw.

But he knew that he had to stick to his principles at this time.

He turned his face to the side, avoiding his wife's murderous gaze, and said decisively: "No. We can't be willful about this matter. We must go to the regiment hospital. You go for a check-up and everyone will feel at ease."

At this point, Shen Qingyun suddenly clenched Yin Xiaoman's hand and said, "Wife, listen to me on this matter. Just think of it as doing it for me. Just think of it as reassuring me. Just agree, okay?"

His tone sounded a bit domineering, but deep in his eyes there was an unconcealable nervousness.

Liu Chang said a lot to him that day, and one of his sentences almost became Shen Qingyun's nightmare from the moment he said it.

Liu Chang said to him, "Brother Chen, my sister-in-law is going to give birth on the island. This is her first child, and it is very easy to be in danger, but there is no one around to help. I have never delivered a baby, and I don't think anyone else on our island has done this.

What if my sister-in-law doesn't go for a thorough check-up and only finds out something is wrong during the birth? What should I do then?

Only then will it be useless to cry out to heaven or earth.

You really can't rely on me entirely, I have no experience at all. ”

It was these words that strengthened Shen Qingyun's determination to send his wife off the island no matter what.

He had another idea that he didn't dare say out loud. He even thought about not letting his wife come back this time. She should stay in the group and it would be best if she could give birth to the child before returning to the island.

In this way, although he cannot be with his wife and will certainly be tormented by wild thoughts every day, it is the safest and most secure way for Xiaoman and the unborn child.

But he certainly didn't dare to say this at the moment. If he said it, his wife would definitely get angry with him!

If that were to happen, Xiaoman would have to be away from home for more than half a year. She must be even more unwilling.

At this moment, Shen Qingyun didn't dare to think about anything else. He was only thinking about how to coax his wife onto the boat, and he would deal with the rest later.

No matter how unhappy Yin Xiaoman was, she knew at this point that it was useless for her to say anything.

The group had held a meeting because of her, so it was impossible for her not to go.

In fact, she had figured it out just now, she was just angry and wanted to vent it out with a man.

Although she didn't know that everyone was doing this for her own good.

So after the man coaxed her a few more times, she had no choice but to give in and agreed.

Her nod made Shen Qingyun relax completely, and he finally remembered that there was something he had not had time to tell her.

"By the way, Xiaoman, don't be afraid. You are not the only one going down the island. Qiao Mai will be with you this time.

She will also go to the regiment hospital for a check-up. If there is no major accident, she will come back with you next month.

Aren't you on good terms with her? If two people were companions, the days would probably pass faster. And I also told her to come over to see you often to see if you need anything..."

"What happened to Qiao Mai? Why is she going to the hospital too?"

Hearing the man continue to talk, Yin Xiaoman interrupted him impatiently.

She knew that Qiao Mai was in poor health, but she never expected that he would have to apply to be hospitalized with her.

When she asked this question, Shen Qingyun's face became a little depressed.

"I don't know what to say about Qiao Mai! She looks like a meticulous person, but she can't tell the difference between the important and the unimportant at the critical moment!

She had severe anemia but had never told the group. When we asked her to hand in food, we repeatedly told her that if she was sick or had any special circumstances, she must tell us and not hide it.

But she didn't even mention it and quietly handed over all the food rations.

As a result, she fainted several times due to malnutrition, but they were no longer at work by then and no one knew about it.

She refused to report her illness even though it was so serious, and even forced her parents and Liu Chang to help her keep it a secret!

If Engineer Qiao hadn't heard me telling Mr. Hua that day that I would send you to the regiment hospital for a check-up and had begged me to take Qiao Mai along as well, she would have been able to keep this secret!

If because of handing over the food, this little girl becomes seriously ill due to hunger, and if anything dangerous happens... the camp will be held responsible!

We can’t get over this hurdle in our hearts!

Look at what she did! ”

Shen Qingyun became more and more angry as he spoke, and even cursed: "Liu Chang is also a brainless guy! After I send him away tomorrow, I'll show you how I'll deal with this brainless guy!"
