The sixth day of June in the 39th year of Kangxi

The carriage kept jolting, just like it had been two months ago, and I leaned against the window to find the woods that day I had passed, but I couldn't find it, wasn't that the only way to the cottage?

At this time, it was obvious that there was a mountain road, and although there were trees on the side of the road, it was only one or two trees that could be seen from a long distance, and there was no shelter under the scorching sun, and even if you sat in the carriage, you were suffocated to death.

In such a hot and sultry weather, such a mountain road, I began to fear, that kind of peculiar rain, my geography teacher, how did you teach us back then? Convection rain or terrain rain, I really can't remember clearly after many years, it is the kind unique to the mountain after noon, you must not come.

Just thinking like this, a lightning bolt pierced the sky, and a bright and dazzling white light appeared in the blue sky, accompanied by a deafening thunder, roaring in the air for a long time, and the raindrops the size of beans poured on the roof of the car. I resented, hated my sixth sense of evil spirit, and held to the window to endure the even more violent shaking of the carriage.

I know I shouldn't be making a mess at this time, but there are some things that I can't just do if I say stop, such as the regular labor pains right now, such as the child in my womb who can't wait to come out early to see the world.

Biting my lower lip and holding back, after the first pain gradually disappeared, my fingers holding the car window were so sore that I couldn't exert my strength, and my knuckles were a little numb and white.

As the pain became more and more frequent, I finally couldn't help but cry out.

The rain-soaked curtain on the car door was quickly lifted, and Yinxiang poked his head and asked eagerly, "What's wrong?"

I slipped and lay in the carriage, my fingers trembled violently, and I pointed to my stomach and squeezed out a voice, "I want to ...... It's going to be born. ”

"Now?" Yinxiang stared at my stomach and the soaked hem of my pants with wide eyes, and urged the corners of his mouth to persuade in a deep voice: "Endure the pain first, it's not so fast to give birth." ”

I thought I was dazzled by the pain, and when I blinked and looked again, I found that Yinzhen also poked his head out to look, I didn't dare to tell them that it had been hurting for a long time, and I didn't dare to say that I was about to hold on anymore, so I could only bite my lip and nod. What can I do, who of these men can help me? Even if Yin Xiang is willing, his identity is absolutely not allowed at this time.

"Starling, hurry up, the fourth sister-in-law may be about to give birth. The sound of the rain was mixed with Yinzhen's voice, and he was in the same awkward voice change period as when I first met his fourth brother, but the concern was very real, allowing me to find a trace of warmth in the wet and cold air.

"Old ten, you go first, go directly to the fourth brother's mansion and talk to Steward Li, so that they can be prepared. ”

I felt like I could hear less and less, just the crackling of the rain on the roof and the spontaneous buzzing of my ears.

"Wake up, wake up quickly!"

"Don't you want to see him? Don't you want to give him a baby? I haven't seen him yet, so you are not allowed to close your eyes!"

There was pain in the lower abdomen, in the middle of the body, and in the tiger's mouth, and I heard voices ringing in my ears.

"Yinzhen. "In the past two months, I have rarely called this name, and even when the three brothers appeared in front of me, I don't know whether it was intentional or not, we rarely mentioned it. But now, I really want to see him...... I thought about it with my heart and lungs.

I slowly opened my eyes to see a hand removed from under my nose, my wrist was being held by a palm, and blood was dripping down the tiger's mouth to my slender fingers that did not belong to me.

The carriage seemed to stop, and there was no familiar shaking, only the rain still rattling regularly. I looked at Yinxiang and Yinyu, who were kneeling next to me, soaking wet, and the originally spacious carriage suddenly became cramped. Swallowing saliva and taking a deep breath, I opened my mouth but could barely hear my own voice, "I...... It's okay. ”

Yinxiang's face was pale, I don't know if it was rain or sweat constantly flowing down his forehead, he lowered his head and leaned in front of me, his voice became hoarse, almost lost his usual calm, and carefully comforted me, "It's okay, how is it now, can you bear it?"

I couldn't tell what he was asking, and shook my head and nodded weakly, I guess they couldn't tell what my reaction was, and under the two light brains were the same tightly knit brows and worried eyes.

"Fourth sister-in-law, fourth sister-in-law. Yinzhen grabbed the curtain and called me excitedly, with a smile in his young and untouched eyes, and shouted at me: "The fourth brother is here." ”

My brain was a little confused, and I began to slow down, trying to remember what he had just said, but the palm of my hand that was pinched and bleeding hurt suddenly, and then it was released and placed lightly on my high stomach. Yin Yu stood up and half bent over, and I saw the black horse's head raised in the messy curtain, and with the painful neighing of the night, the familiar figure appeared, but it was instantly blocked by Yinyu, and only the same black hem could be seen, and the rain was still falling.

I seemed to have the strength suddenly, stared with wide eyes, grabbed Yinxiang's clothes and sat on him with my hands, but the curtain stopped shaking and blocked my view, only to hear Yinxiang's angry questioning roar, "Why are you here now? Why? Don't you know that she is waiting for you?"

The body shook, and Yinzhen's voice came in, "Brother Jiu, you ...... You let the fourth brother in first, and the fourth sister-in-law is afraid that she won't be able to hold on. ”

"Fourteen!"

Finally heard his voice, familiar. Although it didn't call me, the boulder hanging in my heart finally fell to the ground. Yin Zhen's voice trembled a little, and it was still low, "Let go of me." ”

"Let go?" Yin Yu's roar was mixed with a piercing laugh, "Do you know now that you are in a hurry? What's the use! Where were you when we went to save her? Where were you when we were with her in that room? Isn't she your woman? Why didn't you show up when she needed you the most? Why did you do this to her...... She's still thinking about you!

"Yinyu!" it was the first time I had heard the gentle and low-smiling Babel speak so loudly, and it was his dearest ninth brother. What are they doing? I can't hear anything other than the rain and the talking, have you done it?

I couldn't get out, I was waiting for him, but when he came, he was stopped by his brother. I understand Yinyu's anger, we haven't said a lot of things, but he understands me so well and protects me, I'm not unmoved, but I really don't complain, not at all. In the two months that I was locked up, all my doubts and worries had long since turned into bone-eating thoughts, and now I just want to see him, and I really can't hold it anymore. Looking up at Yinxiang, he frowned and helped me lie back, got up and lifted the curtain and jumped out of the carriage.

Don't stop the curtain, shake it again, let me see it clearly, and look at it twice.

I saw Yinxiang approaching them, but the same tall figure made me unable to tell who was who, I could only hear Yinxiang's voice, "Ninth brother, you raise your hand and let the fourth brother ......"

Yin Yu quickly interrupted Yin Xiang's words, and there was a mockery in his voice that was different from anger, "Old Thirteen, I know that you have been close to him since you were a child, and that is your brother's business, I can't care about it." But what did the fourth sister-in-law look like just now, you also saw it, and now, do you still think that you, the fourth brother, are doing a good job and doing it right?"

I don't know how long their brother is going to argue, but I can't wait, and if it goes on like this, I don't know if the child will be born, and I won't see her father yet. Enduring the pain, I raised my hand and knocked on the wooden board of the carriage, and shouted out with all my strength, "Ninth Master, I beg you, let him in." I don't resent him or hate him, I just want to see him, please, let him in. ”

I couldn't hear anything but the rain, and I bit my lip and stared at the curtain, the smell of blood filling my entire sense of smell and taste. Until the familiar inky black eyes met my gaze, two months of uneasiness, fear, longing, and waiting all turned into two words, "Yinzhen." ”

The already thin cheeks were even thinner at this time, and the eye sockets were sunken into blue-black, and it turned out that the clothes were not black. When he leaned over and half-knelt beside me, I could tell that it was navy blue, but it was dark and black from the rain. Even if it is crumpled and sticky to my body at this time, I can see that my clothes are a little loose, I have been a meat ticket for two months and gained weight, but he has lost weight like this.

Yinzhen's face was buried in my scattered hair, her soft thin lips were against my ears, and her hoarse voice was almost whispered faintly as if it came from far away in the sky, "I'm late." ”

"Exactly. I raised my hand to touch the back of his neck, and although my voice was soft, I already smiled, "When you come, I dare to give birth with confidence." ”

Yin Zhen raised his head suddenly, swept his eyes wide in surprise and swept towards my stomach, grabbed my hand without hesitation and nodded firmly, "I'm here, don't worry." ”

Yes, I can rest assured.

Although I don't believe that he, a pampered prince, will understand the matter of midwifery, but there is no second choice at this moment, even if he is in the wilderness, even if there is only a carriage to talk about, he can only gamble and try.

Yin Zhen quickly unbuttoned his clothes, took them off and put them under me, his fingers tremblingly grabbed my equally soaked pants, and sizzled them open. Looking at his embarrassed and weird expression, I couldn't help but smile bitterly, I never thought that one day when he tore my clothes would be like this, let alone that my most terrible and hideous appearance would be displayed naked in front of his eyes.

Yin Zhen reached out and stroked the hair sticking to my cheeks, but I grabbed it to my mouth and bit it hard, looking at his pain, sweat and tears that were more urgent than the rain fell with my meaningless whimper.

Maybe because I gave birth to Honghui, it was like I had experience when I was reborn, or maybe the child in my womb understood that her parents were waiting for her to come to the world at this time, so they didn't torture me cruelly anymore. I didn't last long, and when the rain faded away, a loud cry brought back the car full of shredded sunlight.

I weakly let go and looked up at the roof of the car, caught a glimpse of what Yinzhen was doing with his head down, and after a while, he held up a little baby with his hands full of wrinkles and blood-red, he looked at her without blinking, and called out to the outside of the car, "Yinxiang, clothes." ”

The curtain of the car was opened a gap, Yinzhen blocked it and picked up a ball of clothes, shook it open and wrapped it on the baby's body, and when he came to my face, his eyes were filled with a thick awe and a hint of fear. I don't know if it was because he saw the birth of a new life with his own eyes, or if it was some other reason, but I heard him whisper to me, "As you wish, a daughter." ”

yes, as I wished.

But seeing the fear he had never had, my heart was torn apart, and I forced myself to squeeze out a smile from exhaustion, and said half-jokingly: "It's a pity...... During the southern tour, Huang Ama will not let me go with you. ”

Yinzhen stared straight at me, the corners of his mouth moved, I was so frightened that I clenched my fists and shouted softly, "Yinzhen, it's no good, it seems to be ...... And one more. ”

In the moment when he was stunned, he didn't wait for us to be prepared, and between his legs, which were so tired that he could barely lift them anymore, he had already squeezed out a small head. Yinzhen put the baby in her hand beside me, and as she cried, I heard another cry that didn't belong to her.

Yinxiang's voice came from outside the car, and occasionally Yinzhen asked in unison, "Fourth brother?"
