Chapter 1: Birth

Next Chapter

Insects and birds chirp, in this waterfront village seems extraordinarily quiet, the morning sun slowly rises from the east, and the houses in the village have smoke rising from time to time. In the middle of the village there is a large house, about five or six country houses, which is quite eye-catching in this waterfront village. The rooster in the courtyard had already begun to crow, and an old woman got up early, about sixty years old, with very neat hands and feet, and began to pick up in the morning, feeding chickens, ducks, and pigs;

When Yu Hong came out, she saw her mother-in-law Wang Meiqi tidying up the courtyard and feeding the livestock at home, she was suddenly a little embarrassed, as the eldest daughter-in-law of the family, how could she let her mother-in-law and younger siblings work, Yu Hong stepped forward quickly. "Mom, why did you get up so early, didn't you say, I can do these things?

When the old woman heard this, her eyes widened, her hands and feet did not stop, while she was busy, she also said, "Boss, daughter-in-law, you go and rest, you are still pregnant, these things are done by my wife, you can stay at ease, when they were pregnant, the work is not for my wife, if you don't feel at ease, just raise it, and wait for the baby to come out, work hard, hurry in, you are old now, you can't compare to the young!"

The old man said as he didn't forget to push her into the house. Yu Hong knew her mother-in-law's stubbornness, and she didn't postpone it, she came out to talk to her mother-in-law, but she was afraid that the two younger siblings would be unhappy, but she is now older, and she has not moved since she gave birth to Shu Zhi, she thought that there was only one son in this life, and she was found to be pregnant a few months ago, and the couple were happy and worried, she was in her early forties this year, she was really an old man, even if she knew that there was danger, she still decided to give birth to this child, she had been looking forward to this child for a long time, and she could not give up, so the whole family regarded her as a fragile doll。

Linshui Village is a small and small village, most of the people in the village have the surname Shu, and there are some other surnames, Yu Hong's Shu family is considered to be the population of Linshui Village. Shu Wei is the owner of this family, about sixty years old, married Wang Meiqi from the next village at the age of twenty, and his life is smooth, with three sons, all of whom have started a family. Although life is tight, the family lives together, and the daughters-in-law are also sensible people, but they are more warm, and they are much better than other incompatible families.

The second daughter-in-law Shu Mei and the third daughter-in-law Du Xiang made breakfast for a large family, and then went out to help her mother-in-law do housework, the old woman saw that her daughter-in-law was sensible, she was very satisfied, and she ran to the house to call someone, "Xiaozhi, Xiaoli, stop playing, hurry up and call your grandfather and father back for dinner, hurry up!"

It turned out that early in the morning, the men in the family all went to work in the fields, and the women stayed at home to do housework, but after breakfast, regardless of men, women and children, they had to work in the fields.

Shu Zhi is the son of the eldest Shu Shan and Yu Hong, and the eldest grandson of the family, 15 years old this year, because today is Saturday and Sunday and no need to go to class, so go home to help during the holidays, Shu Zhi is now in the town of the first middle school junior high school, this year is going to take the high school entrance examination, academic performance is the best in the family, Shu Li is the eldest son of the third Shu De and Du Xiang, five years younger than Shu Zhi, in the fifth grade in the village primary school, the grades are also good, are more sensible children.

Shu Zhi got up early, and originally wanted to go to the ground with Shu Wei and them, but the old man didn't let him, saying that he would review his homework at home, and the old man had high expectations for his eldest grandson, so he hoped that his grandson would be admitted to college in the future and win glory for the family.

"Grandma, let's go now" Shu Zhi led his younger brother Shu Li to the field to call grandpa and them.

The Shu family has a large population, but there are not many fields, which are only enough for the family to eat and wear, so after the farming, the men in the family have to go out to do odd jobs to earn money to subsidize the tuition fees, and now the family still owes some debts

When the old and young masters came back, the family had already set up the meal, in fact, it was a bowl of thin porridge that was not thick, a few plates of pickles, this was the family's breakfast, even if the meal was simple, the family was extremely delicious at the dinner table.

This year, because Yu Hong was pregnant, Shu Shannong did not go out after being busy, and the child was born less than a month away, he wanted to stay with his daughter-in-law and child, this child was very much what he was looking forward to, he and his daughter-in-law both hoped that this child would be a daughter, so that they would have both children and daughters.

Shu Shan touched Yu Hong's belly, "Good daughter, be good, Dad will definitely give you the best!"

I don't know if I understood, the child actually lifted him, felt the child's beating, Shu Shan was very excited, like a child, but he didn't know what to say, they didn't know that the child did understand, she was thanking them.

Mulan didn't know why she was still alive, she only knew that she was about to cross the tribulation and ascend, but the tribulation failed, and the last thunder hit her body, almost beating her soul away, she woke up and found that she was in her stomach, she found that she was just a little baby now, just formed, she didn't know why, this is reincarnation, but she retains the memory of her previous life, which is neither good nor bad for her, she was an orphan girl in the Metaverse, with her own efforts, she cultivated to the tribulation period, and also founded the Dragon Gate, if she has anything to say, it is the Dragon Gate she founded, but she believes that her apprentice will develop the Dragon Gate to a higher level。

Now she is just a newly-formed baby, and she has not yet been born, which is the best period for cultivation. If you want to strengthen your body, you have to combine the innate qi transmitted from your mother's body with the cultivation of your true mind that you learned in your previous life. But the problem now is that the meridians in Mu Lan's body are unusually small and fragile, and Mu Lan doesn't know if all babies are like this when they are just formed, but she just feels that her current body shape is too fragile.

Without doing anything, Mu Lan was extremely careful to guide the innate qi, but it did not affect the current mother, and slowly channeled the meridians inside her body step by step.

It felt like hundreds of years had passed, and Mulan had finally completed the first Zhou Tian circulation of the innate qi in the meridians in his body. I was exhausted for a while, and this feeling was like holding a large piece of extremely fragile top-grade spirit jade in my arms but still walking a tightrope over a cliff, it was too torturous! Mu Lan's first thought when she woke up was to frown, although she didn't have eyebrows yet.

After a week's circulation, Mu Lan slightly felt that the meridians in her body seemed to have grown a lot. Confidence is also enough, complaining is complaining, Mu Lan knows very well in her heart that the most difficult thing about the internal force running line is the cycle of the first week. In the first week, we should not only pay attention not to take the wrong route, but also carefully control the appropriate air flow into the meridians, widen the meridians little by little, and then open up the meridians on the basis of widening, and then the internal force starts to run according to the established line. No matter which link goes wrong in the middle, it will be a catastrophe!

But running the second week, Mu Lan felt quite relaxed, and, with the cultivation, Mu Lan found that she wanted to be in the Heavenly Spirit Body, which was rare to see in 10,000 years, the Heavenly Spirit Body, as the name suggests, even if you don't take the initiative to absorb the Heaven and Earth Aura, the Heaven and Earth Aura will automatically gather to the Heavenly Spirit Body, this is why the cultivation realm is so eager for the Heavenly Spirit Body, and the person who has the Heavenly Spirit Body is the symbol of the Tribulation Period, which is the highest realm pursued by every Xiuzhen sect, as for the Ascension, it is less and only less, as far as she knows, there are only two or three successful Cultivation Realm Ascension for thousands of years, so the Tribulation Period has become the highest realm。

As the so-called one day in the mountains, a thousand years in the world, although Mu Lan does not have this feeling, but time flies quickly in the practice, and in the blink of an eye, Mu Lan is about to break away from the mother's body. During Mulan's cultivation, not only did her cultivation rise by leaps and bounds, but even Yu Hong did not have the pregnancy spots that pregnant women should have, and she was even more ruddy, and the eight villages in ten miles were all amazed, thinking that the child of the old Shu family was the reincarnation of the fairy child of the Queen Mother of the Heavens.

Mu Lan enjoyed the love of her mother and father, and in this life, she enjoyed the selfless love from her mother and father, as well as the warm happiness of her family.

Yu Hong suddenly felt a pain in her stomach, and she pushed her sleeping husband next to her, "Brother Shan, I'm going to give birth"

Shu Shan was not fully awake yet, seeing that his wife was in unbearable pain, when he heard that he was going to give birth, he was frightened, and got up in a hurry, "You wait, I'll call Mom"

Shu Shan was a little flustered, after all, his wife was already forty years old, he ran out of the room in a panic, and shouted loudly before he left the house, like a Buddha, "Mom, Mom, my daughter-in-law is about to give birth, you go and see, I'll go find the midwife." ”

Shu Shan's big voice woke up the Shu family, and no one said anything at this time, after all, giving birth to a child is a big deal, Shu Shan quickly ran to Liu's mother-in-law's house.

Wang Meiqi heard her son's voice, quickly got up, and after tidying up her hands and feet, she walked directly into her eldest son's room, at this time the second and third daughters-in-law in the house were already helping on the side, "Second daughter-in-law, you go to boil hot water, third daughter-in-law, you go and cook a bowl of noodles for your sister-in-law, remember to add an egg." ”

When the two daughters-in-law heard this, they didn't say much, but they answered and went to the kitchen to prepare.

"The eldest daughter-in-law, it's okay, hold on, save some strength, eat something, Mrs. Liu will be there in a while" Wang Meiqi looked at the daughter-in-law's miserable face, and didn't know how to comfort her, after all, she was an older mother, and she didn't have much hope, she only hoped that the Buddha would bless the boss of the Shu family to give birth to the child smoothly.

Looking at her mother-in-law's expression, Yu Hong comforted her mother-in-law, she didn't know why, nothing would happen to the station, maybe the child was too well-behaved. "Mom, don't worry, this kid is well-behaved, I'm fine"

Shu Shan rushed back with Liu's wife, and what he saw was his daughter-in-law eating noodles calmly, if he hadn't seen his daughter-in-law's frowning brows, he would have thought that his wife was joking.

Mrs. Liu was also surprised, shouldn't the average woman who gave birth to a child lie in bed and die of pain, why is the eldest daughter-in-law of the Shu family so leisurely, yes, it is leisurely. Mrs. Liu was stunned for a moment, and then walked over and looked at Yu Hong, everything was normal.

"Okay, the birth canal hasn't opened yet, but it's almost there, it's fine, the boss of the Shu family, you go out first, my aunt assures you that adults and children will be fine"

Shu Shan walked out with a thousand thanks, and after a while, Yu Hong's screams came from inside, and the two younger siblings were also in and out, basins of blood and water, seeing Shu Shan's heart jumping, he walked back and forth outside the house, and the two younger brothers next to him didn't know how to persuade him, after all, it was their sister-in-law inside.

Just when everyone was anxious, a loud cry came, the cry resounded in the sky, and there was a faint dragon roar in the sky, and the small courtyard of the Shu family almost collapsed, and the sky was dyed red by a large area, forming a strange scene, and they were stunned by the scene in front of them.

Shu Cheng raised his hands tremblingly, pointed into the room, and opened his mouth in a trilling voice, "Big, big, eldest brother, third brother, do you hear it? It's a dragon chanting, and I saw a golden dragon fall in my sister-in-law's room, that, that......"

Not only Shu Cheng saw it, but Shu De also saw it, it was real, it was really a dragon, "Big brother, second brother, it's really a dragon, it's true, it's really a dragon!"

Shu Wei burst into a shout and scolded the second and third children, "What a dragon chanting, what a real dragon, a bunch of nonsense, you haven't seen anything, you haven't heard anything, you know, ah?"

"However, it was meant to be" Before he finished speaking, Shu Cheng was glared at by Shu Wei, no one dared to provoke the majesty of Old Man Shu, even if he wanted to say something, he didn't dare to say it, so he could only step aside.

The door squeaked open, and Mrs. Liu held a little baby with a smile on her face, "Congratulations, congratulations, Shu Shan's family gave birth to a girl, look at this girl, she looks so beautiful, other people's children are wrinkled when they are born, your daughter is white and fat, she looks like a symbol, just like a little fairy"

Speaking of this, Mrs. Liu also smiled mysteriously, "This is the first time I have delivered such a beautiful little doll, and I was born with a piece of jade pendant in my hand, Brother Shu, in the future, your family will be designated to fly Huang Tengda, but don't forget my sister."

As soon as everyone heard the words of Mrs. Liu, they all thought of the scene just now, the baby in swaddling clothes was indeed as Aunt Liu said, Shu Shan was holding his daughter, it was rare, the three brothers circled around the child, only Shu Wei and Mrs. Liu went to the side to talk, as for what she said, it is unknown.

After sending off Liu's wife, the Shu family held an emergency meeting on Shu Shan's little daughter, in addition to Yu Hong, who had just given birth, and Mu Lan, who was in the center of the topic, Wang Meiqi, Old Man Shu, and the three brothers of the Shu family held the meeting.

The family sat in Old Man Shu's room, and an unknown heavy atmosphere filled the air.

Wang Meiqi looked at her own eldest half and looked at her three sons, "I said that you are idle in the middle of the night, the old family has just given birth, I still have a lot of things, what is the matter with your father and son, hurry up and say, I will see my granddaughter in a while."

Speaking of granddaughters, the pride of the old woman, whose daughter was born with jade, their little granddaughter, that is a great creation. Looking at the old woman's expression, Shu Wei knew what his old woman was thinking, "Boss, tell your mother what you see"

Although Shu Shan didn't know why, he still told the vision of the child when he was born one by one.

When Wang Meiqi heard that her little granddaughter was born, she actually attracted the birth of a real dragon, and she was even more proud, whose child was born with such a big vision, what does this mean, it shows that her little granddaughter is the true dragon son of heaven.

Seeing that everyone looked honored, Shu Wei sighed, his family is a scholarly family, and he must know more than them, so he has to patiently explain the pros and cons.

"You have to know, what era is now, if this is in ancient times, it is the birth of the true dragon emperor, but this is the era of reform and opening up, in the eyes of others, it is feudal superstition, and it may bring disaster to our family, no one is allowed to say anything about tonight, it will rot in my stomach" Old man Shu thought for a while, "You take that jade pendant and I'll take a look"

When Wang Meiqi heard this, she ran to Yu Hong in a hurry and brought her little granddaughter's jade pendant. Old man Shu turned out to be a jade pendant, and when he looked at it carefully under the light, the jade pendant was not an ordinary thing at first glance, there was a real dragon faintly on it, and the dragon eye was looking at him, he was startled, and quickly put away the jade pendant, his face was a little pale.

"Old man, are you okay?" Wang Meiqi stepped forward to support Old Man Shu, and his three sons also looked at him anxiously.

He took a deep breath and handed the jade pendant to Shu Shan, "Boss, you put on the jade pendant and put it around your neck, it seems that our family is really amazing, but this matter must be rotten to my stomach, no one is allowed to say it, not even your own mother-in-law."

The latter sentence was said to the second and third children, and the three of them nodded, their father's words have always been regarded as holy decrees, and this time they are not excluded.

"That jade pendant, Mrs. Liu knows, that" Shu Shan was a little worried, after all, it was his own daughter

Old man Shu turned his head and asked his mother-in-law, "Has Mrs. Liu seen the jade pendant?"

Wang Meiqi thought for a while, "No, it was tightly dragged at the time, so I knew it was a fast jade pendant, so I didn't take a closer look."

When Old Man Shu heard this, he calmed down and waved his hand, "It's okay, I've already said hello to Mrs. Liu, and no one can mention this matter in the future, you know?"

The three brothers nodded in response, after the three brothers left, the old man Shu was immersed in his thoughts, their Shu family is the blessing of several lifetimes, only to get such a baby bump, must not let others know, otherwise the little granddaughter is in danger, although it is not a feudal era now, but there are still many superstitious people, if the national government feels threatened, their family is not dangerous.

Early the next morning, Linshui Village knew that in the middle of last night, the eldest daughter-in-law of Shu Wei's family gave birth to a daughter, and the neighbors came to congratulate them.

The washing in the countryside is still very lively, Yu Hong because of confinement, so the child was held out by her mother-in-law Wang Meiqi, Shu Rui was wearing a red coat, wrapped in red fabric, the whole was prosperous, Shu Rui's name was taken by Shu Wei, the old man Shu, and told Shu Shan the name early the next morning, Shu Shan and Yu Hong said, for this name, Yu Hong is also very satisfied, and Mu Lan will be Shu Rui in the future.

There are many people who come to Shu Rui, in addition to the neighbors, there are also Yu Hong's mother's family, that is, Shu Rui's grandparents, uncles, aunts, etc. Although everyone is not rich, but a few eggs, a few chickens can still be taken out, you take some, I take some, it adds up to a lot.

Looking at a room full of eggs and old hens, Shu Shan felt that his daughter-in-law could have a good confinement this time, the family was poor before, she didn't eat well during confinement, she fell into the root of the disease, and after giving birth to Shu Zhi, she never got pregnant again, although she will not regenerate in the future, but this time she must serve her daughter-in-law well in confinement.
