Yin Xiaoman opened his eyes.
She found that it was completely dark outside and she was the only one in the room.
But from the kitchen outside came bursts of talking voices.
After listening carefully, she realized that Ren Ping'an must have delivered the food distributed to his family back as soon as possible.
Cui Yan was cooking at the moment. The children were probably afraid of disturbing her rest, so no one dared to stay in the house and they all stayed in the kitchen to keep her company.
She sat up from the bed with difficulty and changed her pants.
After taking a look, there was indeed a small red spot. Although the amount of bleeding was not much, the red still hurt her eyes.
Yin Xiaoman sat on the edge of the bed for a while, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this situation could not go on like this.
She didn't want to tell her family about her spotting.
Yin Xiaoman knew that if she told the man, he would definitely grab Liu Chang immediately.
But what's the point of catching him?
In Yin Xiaoman's heart, Liu Chang himself is still a little kid, and a boy at that. She just couldn't get over the hurdle of telling him these things.
Besides, she didn't believe in his medical skills.
She didn't believe that Liu Chang had any ability to protect the fetus.
She felt that instead of placing her hopes on Liu Chang, it would be better to place them on her little apprentice Lichun.
Although the disciple is still a little girl, she lives in the palace after all.
Yin Xiaoman wanted to ask the doctors to prescribe a medicine to preserve the pregnancy through her.
The female doctors in the palace, although they were all born as maids like the others, they usually stayed in the Imperial Hospital and were responsible for the health of the masters and ladies, so it could be said that they were all knowledgeable.
When it comes to women's diseases, he must know more than Liu Chang.
Thinking of this, Yin Xiaoman supported himself on the bed, struggled to stand up, and slowly walked towards the toilet at the back of the house.
She had to go to the palace immediately and leave a note for Lichun, asking her to prepare medicine for her right away.
This must be done as soon as possible, and we cannot delay even a moment longer.
However, she did not dare to go to the palace just like that, because over such a long time, Yin Xiaoman had already understood the rules of entering and leaving the imperial kitchen.
If she went in from here, she would definitely come back to this room later.
If by chance someone happened to come in to see her when she came back, there would be no way to explain it.
She quietly walked into the bathroom, locked the wooden door from the inside, and then went to Lichun's room first.
It was already past the time to get off work, and the imperial kitchen was empty.
She sat at the desk and after pondering for a long time, she decided to tell the truth to her apprentice.
Yin Xiaoman knew that although she had never admitted it from beginning to end, Lichun had obviously recognized her and treated her as a master again.
Even if that girl had the wrong idea and thought that she had ascended to heaven and became a fairy, he was still sincere to her.
The most important thing is that even though this matter is so unbelievable, the girl obviously accepted it quite well and did not suffer from dementia. So Yin Xiaoman felt that he could rely on her in this matter.
He wrote about his experience after death in the shortest words, and then used a lot of words to describe in detail his current physical condition.
Finally, Yin Xiaoman asked Lichun to help her get a medicine to preserve the pregnancy, and asked her to find a way to boil the medicine and put it in the cabinet after getting it. Come and drink when it’s convenient for you.
This was the idea she had just thought of.
Otherwise, even if Lichun found the medicine, she would have nowhere to boil it? The most important thing is that Yin Xiaoman has no way to explain to others the source of this medicine.
After writing the note, she finally breathed a sigh of relief. When she opened the cabinet door again, she saw that the freshest fruits and snacks had been put back in it, as well as a note left by Lichun.
"Master, you haven't moved all the food away. Is it because of some unexpected event? Or do you need more time?"
Only then did she realize that after she transported the food away, she fainted without even having the chance to say a word to Lichun. And that girl should have been keeping an eye on the movements of the big warehouse.
There were suddenly so many things in the warehouse, and she was afraid that others would find out.
This is probably because Lichun found out that only a part of the food had been transported away, so he felt surprised.
But--
Thinking about that pile of food, Yin Xiaoman felt a pain in his lower abdomen.
Not even one-third of the materials had been transported away, and she had already become like this. If they were all taken away, wouldn't she and the baby in her belly die?
She immediately added another sentence to the note, stating that there was enough food and that Lichun could deal with the rest on his own.
After finishing all the things that needed to be done, Yin Xiaoman ate several pieces of the milk cake on the plate, took the rest back to his own room, and then walked out of the space again.
She opened the toilet door and walked out. Before she even walked back to the bedroom, she saw Cui Yan standing at the head of her bed, looking anxious.
Without waiting for her to speak, Cui Yan suddenly turned around, obviously preparing to go out to look for her. When she saw her standing at the door, she was immediately startled!
"Xiaoman, where have you been?" She ran over in a panic and held Yin Xiaoman's arm.
"I just went to the bathroom. Sister-in-law, it's okay."
Seeing Cui Yan's anxious look, Yin Xiaoman felt soft in her heart and quickly said to comfort her.
Cui Yan didn't say anything. She helped Yin Xiaoman onto the bed and watched her lie down. Suddenly, she brought a basin from the stool next to her and pointed at the pants in the basin and asked, "Xiaoman, tell me the truth. Is there something wrong with you?"
Looking at the basin, Yin Xiaoman was instantly so embarrassed that she wished she could find a hole in the ground to crawl into. She was so ashamed that she couldn't even speak.
Those were the pants she had just changed out of.
Because she felt so uncomfortable at the time, she originally put it under the bed and wanted to wait a while before washing it.
But she never expected that after being out for such a short while, Cui Yan would take it out!
"Sister-in-law, why are you touching it?"
Miss Yin felt so ashamed and embarrassed that tears were about to fall from her eyes.
She sat up and tried to grab the basin.
"Lie down quickly!" Cui Yan stopped him quickly.
Then she said nonchalantly, "What's the big deal? You've called me sister-in-law for so long, so what's wrong with me washing your pants?"
"Put it down, put it down!" Yin Xiaoman was completely anxious.
Although Cui Yan doesn't care, she can't help but care!
No matter how good your relationship is, there is no reason for him to wash her underwear.
"Sister-in-law, put it aside. If you dare to take it out, I will, I will...I will cry in front of you!"
"Puchi!" Cui Yan laughed out loud.
My originally tense nerves were somewhat relaxed by her doing this.
She saw that Yin Xiaoman was really anxious, and she didn't dare to tease her anymore, so she had to explain slowly: "I didn't mean to look at your things. I came over just now to see if you were awake, and I saw it as soon as I touched you, didn't I?
I thought that I don’t know what time it would be when Xiao Shen comes back, and I don’t have anything to do, so I might as well rub it out for you. ”
"But……"
Having said this, Cui Yan's face became nervous again. She pointed at the basin on the ground and asked in a low voice, "Man, tell your sister-in-law if you are feeling unwell. Is there blood on it?"
Yin Xiaoman lowered his head.
Although she didn't think about telling others, who is Sister Cui?
She has given birth to two children.
Since I've seen it, I can't hide it from her.
Instead of finding various excuses, it is better to admit it.
Although Yin Xiaoman didn't say anything, Cui Yan's face gradually turned paler.
Although she had always been hoping for luck and just hoped that she was mistaken, but looking at Xiaoman's current state, how could she be wrong!
She stood up from the stool at once, pointed at Yin Xiaoman anxiously, and said angrily: "You silly girl, why are you so stupid! Is this something that can be concealed? You saw blood and why don't you tell me quickly?
You, you, you still dare to go to the toilet by yourself? ! You, you are going to piss me off to death! ”
After saying that, she no longer paid attention to Yin Xiaoman, turned around and ran outside.
While lying on the bed, Yin Xiaoman heard her yelling outside: "Dami, call your uncle back to me!
What kind of work do you have to do now? He is not home all day long and his wife doesn’t care about him at all!
Tell him what I said, if he doesn’t come back to me, he won’t want the child anymore! ”
"Erniu, go in and watch over your mother. Don't let her move again! You have to serve her when she eats, drinks, and goes to the toilet. If you dare to let her get down to the ground, I'll come back and break your legs!"
"Dabao, go to the construction site over there and bring back some bricks. Four bricks, all in perfect order, no broken bricks. Go now, hurry up!"
…
Yin Xiaoman lay on the bed, rubbing his brows speechlessly, listening to the chaos outside that had suddenly become a mess because of Mrs. Cui's orders.
Fortunately, the commotion did not last long. As the gate was opened several times, the footsteps and voices became farther and farther away.
Only Erniu came in carefully with half a bowl of sugar water, looked at her with a worried look, and asked, "Mom, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling better?"
Yin Xiaoman had just had some snacks in the palace and was not hungry at all now. She motioned her daughter to put the sugar water aside and smiled at her: "Mom is fine. Have you eaten?"
There were so many things that happened today that the little girl has not yet fully recovered from the ordeal.
Although his clothes had been changed and his face washed, the remaining fear in his eyes had not completely dissipated.
The scene in the morning with half of her mother's body soaked in mud and water obviously scared Erniu completely. Even though Yin Xiaoman tried her best to pretend nothing had happened, she obviously didn't believe it at all.
Erniu nodded: "I ate it."
After saying that, she picked up the small bowl, scooped a spoonful of water with the spoon in it and fed it to Yin Xiaoman's mouth: "Mom, drink some water first. The water is not hot, but warm. Drink a few sips to moisten your throat and I will bring you food, otherwise you won't be able to eat."
Yin Xiaoman had just eaten milk cake and didn’t actually want to drink sugar water at the moment. But the little girl had already put the spoon to her mouth, so she drank it.
After drinking a few mouthfuls, she shook her head and said, "Erniu, drink the rest. I'm not thirsty anymore."
But Erniu's tears suddenly fell.
"Mom, drink it. Drink a few more sips. Uncle Liu Chang said you need to eat something nutritious, but we don't have eggs at home. Drink more sugar water."
As she spoke, the little girl's tears streamed down her face. "Mom, I will go pick up eggs tomorrow, and then come back to make you some fried eggs. I make them really well, better than Big Rice. You have to be well, and don't get sick."
Yin Xiaoman reached out and touched her daughter's face, then pressed her shoulder as she sobbed.
She said helplessly, "Mom is fine. Don't listen to what your Aunt Cui says. Stop crying. Go wash your face. Then bring some millet porridge to mom. I'll have some."
Hearing that her mother was willing to eat, Erniu immediately became happy. She wiped the tears from her face, agreed and ran outside.
When he ran to the door, he turned around and warned her: "Mom, don't move, don't get out of bed, I will feed you later."
However, before Erniu could bring the millet porridge over, Shen Qingyun, Liu Chang and the others had already run back.
Shen Qingyun was only wearing a military vest, and the towel on his shoulders was still covered with a thick layer of mud.
It was obvious that he was moving food to the warehouse, and then after listening to what Da Mi said, he ignored everything and just ran back.
Liu Chang was not much better than him. As soon as Yin Xiaoman entered the door, he saw a line of muddy footprints on the clean cement floor.
She closed her eyes in frustration and didn't even want to talk.
Seeing her like this, Shen Qingyun was even more frightened.
He thought his wife was in so much pain that she couldn't speak, so he knelt down in front of her, held her hands on the bed, and asked in a hoarse voice: "Wife, tell me where you feel uncomfortable. Do you have a stomachache?"
This person, who could normally scare others so much that they dared not speak just by glaring at them, had a tremor in his voice as he spoke.
In fact, Yin Xiaoman is no longer as uncomfortable as he was at the beginning.
Maybe it was because she left a note for Lichun, and she had special trust in the doctors' abilities, so at this moment, she felt as if she had taken a reassurance pill and felt much more at ease.
After such a long rest, the physical strength she had previously exhausted was gradually restored.
My stomach still feels a little heavy, but it no longer has the dull pain it did at the beginning.
Yin Xiaoman reached out and touched the man's head. She originally wanted to comfort him, but she didn't expect the man to be pushed aside by Mrs. Cui with disgust.
"Hurry up and get up! Let Liu Chang come over and feel Xiaoman's pulse again."
Hearing her say this, Shen Qingyun quickly gave up his seat and stood aside, looking at Liu Chang nervously.
Liu Chang felt both nervous and heavy at the moment.
He is not an obstetrician and gynecologist.
When I was studying in school before, I never paid attention to this area.
He knew a little bit of the basics, but he didn't know at that time that one day he would be forced to treat a pregnant woman?
So I didn’t pay attention at all when I was studying.
The previous time, he had actually examined Yin Xiaoman's pulse very seriously. But he could only see that his sister-in-law was very tired and exhausted.
There was no sign of miscarriage from the pulse.
So, when Sister Cui found him and said that her sister-in-law had her bleeding, Liu Chang was completely stunned.
Standing here at this moment, Liu Chang felt that he could not tell anything from taking his sister-in-law's pulse, and there were no other examination equipment on the island. He even wanted to give his sister-in-law an injection of progesterone, but there was none here.
All I can do now is to calm my sister-in-law down.
He calmed himself down and said to Yin Xiaoman in a soothing tone, "Sister-in-law, don't worry. I've checked it for you before. It's nothing serious. Don't scare yourself.
According to your current situation, the child is fine. You are just tired these two days, very tired. Sometimes you will have some special reactions. Just pay attention and take a rest.
Try not to walk around these few days and just stay in bed and have a good rest. Also pay attention when eating, eat small meals frequently, and eat more easily digestible food. ”
At this point, he looked up at Shen Qingyun and said, "Captain, don't let my sister-in-law eat those grains. I think there is a lot of rice in the grain we found this time. Go talk to Ren Ping'an later and ask him to send some rice over so that I can make some vegetable porridge for my sister-in-law every day.
It doesn’t matter how much you drink at each meal. Just eat when you are hungry and stop when you are full. There is nothing wrong with eating five or six meals a day. ”
Hearing him say this, Shen Qingyun nodded.
However, he was not planning to get the rice for his wife. Instead, he was thinking of finding Ren Ping'an to get back the box of food that had been sent to his home earlier.
He ran over to take a look at those things. They were all fine grains that his wife had saved bit by bit, including rice and fine noodles. It was obvious that they were all saved by her from every penny she took.
There was no other way before, and he couldn't stop his wife from giving it to him. Now that there is no shortage of food on the island, we have to take the food back so that Xiaoman can keep it for herself.
Imagining how his wife saved up her food rations bit by bit to save up such a box, Shen Qingyun couldn't help but feel a pang of pain in his heart.
"Captain, my sister-in-law is fine. Ask someone to cook her some porridge. Go and cook it now."
Liu Chang's words interrupted Shen Qingyun's thoughts. He looked up and found that the boy had his back to his wife and was winking at him.
It was obvious that she looked like she had something to say to him alone.
Seeing this made his heart skip a beat.
"Okay, I'll go to the kitchen and take a look." Shen Qingyun nodded, shook his wife's hand tightly, then turned around and left the bedroom first.
"Mrs. Cui, please help move Mrs. Xiaoman to the inner bed. I'll ask someone to come and separate the two beds. I'll put bricks under her bed later."
Cui Yan also saw Liu Chang winking at Shen Qingyun. When she heard him say that, she naturally knew that he had something to say but couldn't say it in front of Xiaoman.
My heart also feels heavy.
She nodded immediately: "Go ahead, just ask Da Mi and Da Bao to come over, and don't ask anyone else."
After saying that, he went over to help Yin Xiaoman change beds, and Liu Chang also took the opportunity to walk out.
Shen Qingyun did not enter the kitchen, but stayed alone in a corner near the courtyard gate where the inner room could not see. Seeing Liu Chang coming out, he immediately raised his head.
"elder brother."
Liu Chang did not hide it and told him directly: "I can't treat your sister-in-law's illness."
His expression was no longer relaxed as it was in the room. Instead, he said to Shen Qingyun bluntly, "Brother, it's hard to say what the current condition of my sister-in-law is. There are many reasons for a woman to have a threatened miscarriage. It could be a problem with the embryo, poor implantation, or a problem with the adult's physical condition. These are not things I can tell by just taking her pulse. We must go to the hospital for a comprehensive examination."
At this point, he bit his lower lip and suggested to Shen Qingyun: "Brother, you have to think about this carefully. I mean, why don't you tell the regiment leader and send your sister-in-law to the regiment hospital when the rain stops. There are professional doctors and equipment there.
No matter what, it's better to get a check-up than to stay on the island and guess what's going on. Don’t you think so? ”
When Liu Chang said this, he actually struggled inside.
To be honest, if the person in front of him was not Shen Qingyun, the Brother Shen whom he felt he knew very well, he would not have said this.
At that time, not everyone could use the military telephone, and not everyone could say anything.
It is an important national resource. Every word you say will be monitored and phone calls will be recorded.
If you talk about personal matters on a phone call like this, and your leader doesn't pursue the matter, other people will at most say that you are selfish and not aware enough.
But if any leader gets angry about this, or takes action against you for this matter, accusing you of having serious bourgeois ideas and putting personal interests above public interests, that would happen in a matter of minutes.
This involves taking risks.
But this is the only solution Liu Chang can think of at this time, and it is the most suitable solution for both Yin Xiaoman and the child. But he felt somewhat nervous when he said it.
But what he never expected was that as soon as he finished speaking, Shen Qingyun nodded without any hesitation.
"Even if you didn't tell me, I was going to tell the regiment commander. Once the supply ship comes ashore, let your sister-in-law go with the ship. Let her stay in the regiment hospital for a while and get a thorough checkup.
Liu Chang, tell me the truth, does your sister-in-law have any other illness? It doesn’t matter whether you have the child or not, but nothing must happen to your sister-in-law! ”
Shen Qingyun's words shocked Liu Chang so much that he couldn't even speak.
He stared at him in astonishment, unable to believe that the battalion commander had just said - it doesn't matter whether you have the child or not?
This is his first child!
Everyone on the island knows that in order to help his comrades raise children, the battalion commander has no children of his own at such an old age.
Everyone is saying that they are worried that the salary is not enough to support too many children.
It was not easy for Xiaoman's wife to get pregnant. Everyone on the island was happy for the battalion commander, thinking that he had finally come to his senses and realized that no one else's baby was as cute as his own.
But now...
Liu Chang couldn't imagine how many people would believe him if he told others that the battalion commander was willing to give up even his own child for his sister-in-law.
But he had even more respect for the battalion commander.
He quickly patted his chest and assured, "Brother, don't be afraid. My sister-in-law will be fine for a while. I was just worried that the child would be in danger. Because now I can't do a check-up. If that's what you think... then I promise that my sister-in-law will be fine. At least I'm sure of it during the time we're on the island before going to the regiment hospital."
In the end, he didn't dare to repeat what Shen Qingyun had just said, that he didn't care about the children.
After hearing his promise, the sadness on Shen Qingyun's brows finally faded a little.
Yin Xiaoman was tormented by Cui Yan for a long time. He watched her lead people to dismantle the two beds that were put together, and also put bricks under the two legs at the end of her own bed.
Then she forced him to hand over his pillow and also coerced him into changing his body position with his head down and his feet high.
I felt extremely depressed.
At this moment, she wished she could drive all these people out so that she could have some peace and quiet.
It's also good to refresh myself so that I can have the energy to read Lichun's reply tomorrow morning.
