C186 (2/2)

Seeing that Jin Xiaolou had a big belly and was just around the corner, there were a few aunties who took the initiative to come to deliver the baby. In the end, Jin Xiaolou still kept the Auntie Yan she was familiar with back at the Gu family village.

Gao Lang was pulled over to the bonfire to drink with the men, while Nan Yang carried the steaming hot dumplings into the tent.

Due to Jin Xiaolou going to check out the Wind Defense Forest yesterday, her horse's back pricked her stomach, causing him to become pregnant. Today, he had been lying in her tent all day, and Auntie Yan had told him that she was most likely going to give birth.

Jin Xiaolou didn't know why, but she felt her throat tighten when she saw the dumpling, and didn't want to eat it at all.

Auntie Yan took it from Nan Yang's hands, and used a spoon to scoop it towards Jin Xiaolou's mouth, ”Mistress, please eat more, I will have strength later.”

Jin Xiaolou held her stomach as she shook her head, she was a little afraid, her stomach was unusually big, and there was a high chance that she was really twin twins. In ancient times, women who gave birth to twins would most likely die in childbirth due to difficulties. Even if they were lucky enough to give birth, they would die easily.

She was afraid she would die in this bed.

Nan Yang was anxious: ”Madam, if you don't want to eat dumplings, why don't I bake some for you?”

Nan Yang knew that it was impossible for Auntie Yan to be with his wife for too long. Thus, ever since Auntie Yan came, Nan Yang had learnt to cook from her.

Seeing Jin Xiaolou nod her head, Nan Yang turned and left.

Just as he walked out of the tent towards the brazier camp, he saw a young lady looking in all directions. Seeing Nan Yang returning with the dumplings, she quickly came over and asked: ”Has Madam eaten the dumplings?”

He looked anxious.

The young woman, Nan Yang, looked familiar. It was only after a long while did she remember that she was one of the women who had come to help pack dumplings in the camp.

These women were all the families of the soldiers under Hu Shan's command. They lived in the army camp and would help from all over whenever they had time.

He must be worried about Madam right now. He shook his head and replied, ”Madam doesn't like to eat dumplings. I'll go make some cakes and try.”

The woman looked disappointed. After a while, she said, ”Then let me make you a biscuit!”

As the woman said that, she extended her hand to receive the dumplings that Nan Yang was carrying. Nan Yang was indeed slow, but she nodded her head to ask the woman to help him, as she had become more cautious, only allowing the woman to burn firewood underneath. Nan Yang was extremely careful, especially when it came to Madam Ye.

Just as he finished making the noodles, before the oil in the wok could boil, he heard someone call out from outside: ”Sister Nan Yang, Madam is about to give birth!”

Nan Yang quickly threw away the work in her hands and ran towards Jin Xiaolou's tent. When she rushed to the front of the tent, she saw that Seventh Elder had already thrown her wine jar and was pacing at the door.

Just as he stood at the doorway, he heard a burst of anguished wails, Gao Lang's hand clenched tightly, his brows were deeply furrowed, he took two deep breaths, he could not hold it in, and took two steps forward, wanting to pull open the curtain and enter.

Nan Yang quickly blocked her path: ”Seventh Elder, the woman produces a room full of blood light. Men must not enter it, and be careful not to get infected by bad luck.”

”Master Seven might as well go and take a look at Lin'er first!” Nan Yang reached out her hand towards the back, and pointed at Chang An who was sitting in front of the bonfire and watching over the Lin'er.

Gao Lang frowned even more: ”I need to go into the entire blood room, if not she would be scared!”

Gao Lang's voice was light, but had an aura that did not allow for any rejection.

”Besides, she is inside, and she gave birth to my child. Where is the bad luck? This is my greatest fortune! ”

With that, Gao Lang pushed aside the curtains and entered the tent.

As soon as he stepped inside, a bloody smell filled his nose.

Aunt Yan was squatting on Jin Xiaolou's lower half of her body, her face covered in sweat. When she turned her head and saw a man enter, she was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly said to Gao Lang, ”Child, you can't get out of there with your feet, if this goes on, even an adult child won't be able to protect you. Seventh Elder, please make a quick decision, whether you want to protect the adult or the child!”

Gao Lang rushed to the bedside and grabbed Jin Xiaolou's hand.

Jin Xiaolou's face was pale white, she was speechless from the pain.

”Protector.” Gao Lang did not hesitate at all. ”Auntie Yan, please protect my wife by all means.”

Auntie Yan sighed. It was easy to protect a child right now, but difficult to protect an adult.

After Gao Lang heard his words, he used all his strength to shake his head. He hastily placed his warm forehead against the cold face of the house, closed his eyes, and said word by word: ”My wife, we will still have children, but I cannot lose you, absolutely cannot!”
