At noon on the autumn day in 168 AD, the Li family in Xu County, Yingchuan. I saw a black shabby but clean square table on the hall, two plates of green vegetables on the table were steaming, and two large porcelain bowls with chopsticks were filled with clear porridge, and the rice grains in it were faintly visible. The couple at the table looked at each other silently, sometimes to the side, not knowing what to think.

…………

Finally, the man came back to his senses and found that the food was almost cold, turned his head to look at his wife, who couldn't look at God, the melancholy on his face was even stronger, he got up slightly and patted her gently, and called out gently: "It's time to eat, if you don't eat again, you will eat cold, your body is important during this time."

The woman came back to her senses, looked at Xianggong, gently touched her stomach with her left hand, and then picked up chopsticks and gave a chopstick to the man in front of her: "Well, eat"

Seeing this, the man said, "You eat slowly, I'll take a look outside after eating, and see if I can get some food back."

As he spoke, the man picked up the large porcelain bowl, drinking the porridge and the green vegetables in the large porcelain bowl, the thick Adam's apple squirming rhythmically, and the sound of cooing echoed in the empty room.

Finally finished drinking, the man put the bowl down and looked at his wife: "I'll go out for a while, you pay attention to the fetus yourself"

The woman grabbed the half-raised body of the husband and quickly stuffed an object into her husband's hand: "Go, pay attention to safety, come back early"

The man looked down at the hairpin in his hand and said nothing.

Seeing this, the woman gently pushed her husband: "Go, just redeem it when you have money in the future"

The man's eyes changed and complicated, and he said slowly: "I, Li Zhang, I don't know what virtue I accumulated in my previous life to marry such a virtuous wife as you."

The woman Xin Fu smiled and said: "Xianggong, the slave family also knows what virtues he has accumulated in his previous life before he can marry you."

The previous gloom of the husband and wife dissipated at this moment, some were just happiness, and some were just the determination to get through the difficulties together.

Li Zhang walked towards his own land, and every time he walked on this road, Li Zhang's heart was very complicated. Because people in a radius of dozens of miles know that Li Zhang in Xu County has a wife who is 18 months pregnant, and the bad weather in the past two years has caused an extremely bad grain harvest, last year was a drought, and this year is a flood. Who knows what next year will be?

People attributed all this to Li Zhang's wife, thinking that she was pregnant with a disaster star, so they kept clamoring to get rid of her child.

In the most serious case, some radical villagers even gathered more than 30 people to make trouble at the door of Li Zhang's house, and in the end, if it wasn't for Li Zhangfa's little Zhang Jin county magistrate who arrived in time with his officials, he deterred the villagers by force, saying: "If anyone dares to make any move against Li Zhang's wife, this official hereby makes an oath that he will never be spared lightly and deal with it according to law."

However, there are not many troubles on the surface, but all kinds of rumors and rumors in the secret are more prosperous.

Alright, but the meal always has to be eaten. Li Zhang had to go out to find some food, and if he was lucky, he could catch two turtles in the paddy field. In this year, due to the shortage of food, all the game such as loaches, yellow eels, and snails in the field were caught.

There is no way, although Li Zhang knows that most of it is empty again, he still has to go. Walking on the familiar path, Li Zhang's heart was a little numb, but the hard thing on his chest gave him a heaviness, touch, and hope. Think about the difficult junctures in the past two years, all of which have been spent on his wife's dowry and redeemed? Alas............

Thinking like this, Li Zhang came to the field, his eyes swept over his three acres of rice fields, and sighed in his heart: When will this be the head.

Suddenly, Li Zhang found that there were two descendants of the Wang family next door in his field looking for something, and at this time, the two also saw Li Zhang, their faces full of hostility. Because of the rumors of Li Zhang's wife, the Wang family next door was the most affected. When Li Zhang thought of this, he inevitably felt a little sorry in his heart, and it was not good to drive the two descendants out, anyway, there was nothing in the field.

Putting these aside, Li Zhang took off his cloth shoes, rolled up his sleeves, lowered his head and moved his trousers up a lot, and after checking that there was nothing wrong, he went into the water and began to feel for it............

At the same time, Li Zhang's family.

After the wife finished eating, she slowly got up, put away the dishes and chopsticks and put them in the kitchen, carefully put the two plates of vegetables that she hadn't eaten much in the cupboard, and then stopped and thought about something, probably thinking that what she had to do was done. Only then did he walk in the room with a big belly, his right hand supporting his waist, and his left hand caressing the fetus.

Indeed, Wang Qing knows the rumors about herself better than anyone else, although she knows that this is an unreasonable word, but it has indeed caused a lot of trouble to the family, and it has also made relatives and friends avoid herself. It is also thanks to her husband's perseverance and comfort that she has the courage to give birth to this little life.

Thinking of this, Wang Qing couldn't help but laugh and said: "You little wrongdoer, I really don't know what I owe you in my last life, torture my husband and wife like this"

This is an ordinary day, but in the dark, Wang Qing always feels a little unnatural in her heart, and always feels that something will happen.

Time passed step by step, and after a few hours, the top of Xu County was gradually covered by a thick black cloud, converging from all directions, as if there was something here that attracted them.

This black oppressive sky suppressed the people of Xu County and Wang Qing. Wang Qing stood on the threshold, anxiously waiting for Xianggong's return. The only two hens in the yard also shrank into their nests early, sometimes crowing twice.

Li Zhang's neighbor, Wang Ergou stood in front of the door, walking back and forth, scolding and scolding: "It's fucking weather again, when is this head." It must be Li Zhang's wife's calamity star who is doing it" Speaking of this, Wang Ergou saw Wang Qing next to him, and wanted to scold a few words, but looking at Wang Qing's equally anxious expression, he just spit on the ground angrily: "I don't know when those two puppies will come back"

This is just a microcosm of the county, and complaints about the weather are heard from time to time.

Finally, as if he couldn't bear the oppression of this black cloud this day, he trembled slightly.

"Boom"

"Boom"

It's thundering!

The raindrops as big as beans hit Wang Qing's face, Li Zhang's hair on the way home, countless thatched cottages, the roofs of tiled houses, and the hearts of the people of Xu County. How much hope will this rain extinguish?

Wang Qing was drenched by the pouring rain, and then she remembered the fetus in her womb and hurriedly walked to the house.

Wang Qing anxiously waited for Xianggong's return, and the heavier the rain outside, the more uneasy her heart became.

At noon, this uneasiness turned into reality, "Ah" Wang Qing covered her stomach, "It hurts!" ”

At this time, Li Zhang was on his way home. The bigger and bigger it became, the turtle in Li Zhang's hand opened and closed its mouth, feeling this "grand event"
