The goat keeper, all the others in the goat team are still stinking, but she is old.

She covered her expression tightly with a headscarf, and walked with difficulty towards the tent of the goat teacher Qiao Yilong. She stopped and stopped, peering through the gap in the narrow turban.

After entering the room, she coughed incessantly, trying to moisten her throat with saliva.

But there is no tide to speak of, as if the only remaining place in this world is a dry and burning sea of sand.

Qiao Yilong sat under the chair at the small table and looked up at the goat keeper.

Under the small table, there was a flickering oil lamp, casting a shadow in the darkness. Qiao Yilong didn't speak, she was originally a big man with a few words. Gu Ruxi hair.

"God, there is sand in my arm." "She's blind, and she can't see everybody."

Qiao Yilong grunted. Thankfully, this rare open-mouthed man finally squeaked.

"Fart." She said, "Everyone has been to the town, God will see everyone on the way home and be saved." ”

"There is a kind of vitality in the world," Gu Ruxi said stubbornly, "This can even be smelled by goats." These animals have become so timid, and this is the first time that the problem has been solved. ”

"Cover the goat's head with an overcoat, and the goat will have goat dreams."

"Grandpa has already done this." Gu Ruxi said, "But the goat threw off his coat." Grandpa has lost two coats in the border river. ”

"Then you can take some dream pills (1) and let the goats chew them." Qiao Yilong said, "Don't take too much, lest the goat go crazy." It's enough for the goats to stay honestly. ”

"The goats will rest for two days."

The teacher looked at her, "It's okay. Anyway, everyone didn't go anywhere. ”

The skinny old lady stood there like a clay sculpture of wood. "There's still a bad omen here. How the master is. ”

"She's a good person. Qiao Yilong said, "She didn't complain about anything. She was taking good care of her wife, and her prayer rug was always facing the town. ”

The goat keeper pursed his lips: "Do you think that if you worship the holy land, you will be able to get your wish."

Qiao Yilong looked up meaningfully: "Everything is in the shoulders of Allah.

The time for him to go to the place of birth is getting closer and closer. You'll soon find out. ”

"Girl," Gu Ruxi said, "Grandpa begged Allah to give everyone one girl, five boys is too burdensome. It's the same with a good person like her. ”

"Girl," Qiao Yilong subconsciously repeated, "Allah will be kind." She got up from under her chair.

"Okay, stupid pig." She suddenly roared, "Go back and see your goats, but grandpa buried your old bones in goat dung." ”

(1) Dream medicine, Arabs often call ** dream drug.

Teacher Zhao Yijing lifted the mosquito net from time to time

Grains of sand cut through the small slit and whipped at her arms, and she couldn't see the treetops fifteen feet above the room.

Her wife, Gu Ruxi, looked up at her. "It's not getting better." He asked softly.

She shook her head: "It's not getting better."

"When do you think the rain will stop?" He asked.

"Grandpa didn't know." "There's no sign of stopping anyway," she said. "Do you regret it?" He asked softly.

She walked over to his chair and looked down at him, "No." ”

"If Grandpa hadn't insisted, you wouldn't have come to the pilgrimage site."

"Grandpa didn't come on this pilgrimage because of you, but because of everyone's love."

"But you didn't believe that Asahi Town would change anything." He said, "You told your grandfather that whether a child is male or female is decided when she is pregnant. "Because grandpa is a teacher," she said, "but grandpa is also a true believer." ”

If it's a girl? ”

She didn't say anything Jane.

"You are not according to your eldest sister. The prince was willing to divorce his grandfather. Or remarry. ”

She pulled him up on the shoulder: "You are so stupid, Gu Ruxi." ”

He looked up at her expression.

He put his arms on the ground: "It's almost time." Grandpa also liked it more and more. ”

"Nothing terrible. She comforted him and said, "Again, you will definitely give birth to a girl." Didn't Grandpa tell you that the child's heart was beating like the boy's? ”

"Gu Ruxi, Gu Ruxi," he whispered, "In order not to make grandpa anxious, you will be honest in everything you say." ”

She lifted his shoulder to her lips. "Grandpa loves you, Gu Ruxi. Grandpa didn't want to marry another wife, and he didn't want to find another beautiful woman. If you don't have a girl this time, there will be a next time. ”

"There's nothing to do with grandpa's coming, next time." He said worriedly, "Your grandfather has already spoken to the prince.

"In the future, everyone can go abroad and live in a foreign country. Grandpa went to school there, and grandpa had classmates. ”

"No, Gu Ruxi. You should stay at home. Your colleagues need you. You've learned something that's already helping everyone.

It has made a big company bring light to this land, who can dream of this in the future?

But the wealth brought to the family is much more than that," she added, "and you don't need that wealth at all, because everyone has everything." ”

"But only you can make this wealth work for all colleagues, not for a few. No, Gu Ruxi, you couldn't leave. Your colleagues need you. She was silent.

"You have to make a promise to Grandpa." He looked up at her arm, "If you give birth to a girl, you let grandpa live." Grandpa really can't live without you. ”

"Heavy rain," she said, "must be because of the heavy rain, and there is no other place."

Because, it can explain your crazy thoughts. ”

His arms looked down at hers. "It's not because of the heavy rain," he whispered, "Grandpa's stomach has started to hurt." ”

"Yes." She asked. According to her estimates, this was about five weeks earlier than the supposed date of her birth.

"Grandpa has already given birth to five children." He said calmly, "Grandpa knows." The first pain started about two hours later, and the last time it started when you just looked out at the heavy rain. ”

Gu Ruxi was already jealous of the resting place.

The other one had left, and now the cold was coming at her from all sides of her ground. Gradually, she woke up.

The goat struggled to its feet. Generally speaking, goats will poop first and then pee once they get nervous.

A goat pulled and pee under her coat and woke her up completely. The dream was shattered, and she cursed angrily, crawling away from the hot, sour urine.

She knelt with her shoulders on the floor, peering out under her coat. This is not trivial, and a breath suddenly held in his throat.

The pig rider turned his expression to look at her.

Gu Ruxi immediately screamed. The man had two heads. Two pale expressions glowed evilly, staring at her with a sinister gaze.

Gu Ruxi hurriedly jumped up. She forgot to smoke the grains of sand and ran towards the goat's room. "Ouch. Ouch. The Living God has come to you. Qiao Yilong ran out of the tent as fast as thunder and lightning

Shut up. "The goat teacher roared, "The owner of the land is only thinking about the wife of the birthplace, does she have time to listen to your nonsense?" ”

Living God. Grandpa saw her. Gu Ruxi shook her teeth and pointed with her shoulder, "Only." Riding a pig. ”

At this time, a few people also ran over and looked in the direction of Gu Ruxi's shoulder.

The others came and slipped away quickly, and they all disappeared into their respective shelters when they turned their arms, leaving only Gu Ruxi struggling in Qiao Yilong's arms.

Qiao Yilong reluctantly let go of the goat keeper.

Qiao Yilong looked at the hairy pig and stopped after walking up to her, almost paralyzed. The pig-riding monster said the human word: "Hello.

Fua, you couldn't help but say, "Hello." ”

"Grandpa wants to ask you for a favor," said the pig-rider, "everyone has been lost in the heavy rain for several days, and grandpa's wife is sick and is about to give birth." ”

The pigger slowly and carefully climbed down from under the pig's back. At this time, Qiao Yilong saw that the pig-rider's coat was originally covered with two people, so he only had two heads when he looked at it. She quickly stepped down and walked back. "Okay," she said softly, "let Grandpa help you." ”

Gu Ruxi appeared in the dark, wearing a thick brown Arabic robe.

"What's going on?" She asked

Qiao Yilong turned around, and the beautiful woman was lying in her arms like a feather. "Lost pedestrians in the pouring rain, sir."

The man was standing tired and embarrassed against the pig. "Grandpa doesn't know how many days everyone has been out." When she had finished speaking, she collapsed and fell to the ground behind her.

Gu Ruxi grabbed her and supported her with one arm. "Lean under Grandpa's ground." She said.

The man was grateful, and Yan Ran fell under her. "Grandpa's wife," she coughed, "he's sick and has no water." ”

"He'll get better." Gu Ruxi comforted. She looked at Mr. Goat, "Carry him to Grandpa's room,"

"Pigs." That's humane.

"Goats will also have someone to take care of the land." Gu Ruxi said, "Welcome to Grandpa's room." ”

Taller than Gu Ruxi, she also has a beautiful big nose, and a pair of blue arms are hidden behind the expression of her blinking arms.

Gu Ruxi turned to look at her, but she didn't know what was going on. The beauty was dying.

He was almost completely dehydrated and was now unconscious, had a disturbed pulse and had frighteningly low blood pressure. "How many days have you been in the heavy rain?" She asked.

The man stared at her and shook his head: "Grandpa didn't know either. It seems like a long, long time. ”

"He's in poor health." Gu Ruxi said

The man was silent for a moment. Her arms were glued to her teacup. Her lips were moving, but Gu Ruxi couldn't hear a sound. Then, she looked at Gu Ruxi again: "You are a teacher." ”

Gu Ruxi nodded.

"Will he still live?

"I don't know," Gu Ruxi said.

"Grandpa's wife wants to give birth to children in the Holy Land," the man said, "but foreigners don't give them passports." So everyone thinks

When Gu Ruxi heard this, she couldn't help it: "Just rely on these two hairy pigs." Do you have to cross the Dabian River, which is almost 600 miles long? ”

When the rain came, everyone had no food or drink," said the man, "and it was a nightmare. ”

Gu Ruxi looked back at the beauty. She patted her on the shoulder, and Ada, his wife's maid, walked into the house. "Brew some sugar water."

She told him. After he left the house, she turned to look at the man again, "You have to try to get him to drink." She said.

The man nodded. She was silent for a moment before she spoke: "Of course you know, everyone is from the city. ”

"It's the ground.

"Then are you still willing to help everyone?"

"We're all travelers from the same ocean." Gu Ruxi said, "If everyone changes positions, will you be helpless for everyone."

The man shook his head: "No, how can grandpa bear to do that." ”

"That's good." Gu Ruxi smiled and stretched out her shoulders, "Grandpa's name is Zhao Yijing." ”

The man held her shoulder: "Grandpa's name is Aisa Zhao Yijing." ”

Ida walked into the room and brought a small pair of saucers and spoons. Gu Ruxi took it from his shoulder. "Go and get a clean cloth," she commanded.

She took the clean cloth and sat down next to the bunk. She soaked the cloth in warm water and then took it out and put it under the mouth of the beauty.

"Hey, let's see what Grandpa does." She said to the man, "You have to gently pull his lips away." But do it very slowly, slowly, because he will never be able to say it. ”

"Grandpa understands." Zhao Yijing said.

Gu Ruxi stood up: "Grandpa has to take care of grandpa's wife now." ”

Zhao Yijing looked up at her suspiciously.

"Everyone has just come back from the town, and they have been stopped here by heavy rain. On the contrary, people want to have children born at home, but now it seems that this is no longer possible.

Gu Ruxi made a meaningful shoulder gesture, "Allah's way of doing things is extremely mysterious. ”

Thank Allah. Zhao Yijing said, "May she bless everyone with their wishes and give it to a fat boy." ”

"Thank you." Gu Ruxi simply said, "May Allah bless your wife safely." Zhao Yijing turned around and put the cloth under his wife's lips, and Gu Ruxi quietly

Quietly left the curtained room.

It was at this moment that Gu Ruxi screamed in pain and fear: "The child in Grandpa's womb must be alive, and Grandpa doesn't feel any movement at all." ”

"Build." Gu Ruxi said softly, "Everything will be fine." ”

Gu Ruxi grabbed her arm, and he shouted desperately: "Gu Ruxi, please, remember your promise and let grandpa live,"

She looked at him, tears covering her arm: "Grandpa loves you, Gu Ruxi." You have to live and give grandpa a girl,"

She straightened up in exhaustion, and for more than two hours, she had not been able to hear the child's heartbeat with a stethoscope, and Gu Ruxi's pain had been intensifying, and it had not dilated slightly.

"Ada," she said to the maid, "go and call the goat teacher, grandpa needs her to help him deliver the baby, no, let her go into the tent and wash it thoroughly." ”

He nodded and ran out of the room tremblingly, Gu Ruxi quickly placed the tools under a neat white cloth on the side of the sofa.

Gu Ruxi shook suddenly, and began to bleed, and the big thing was not good. Gu Ruxi was bleeding.

Gu Ruxi didn't touch the baby's ground, she knew where the problem was now. The afterbirth cloak blocks the pocket opening,

Gu Ruxi desperately coped with it, in order to overcome the fear that quickly arose.

She stretched her shoulders into Gu Ruxi's body, expanding the neck of her pocket so that she could drag out the afterbirth.

turned his head and looked at Gu Ruxi. She held her breath before her wife stopped the bleeding before she sighed. Only now did she look at the baby's arm.

It turned out to be a baby girl, but unfortunately she was already alive. She didn't even have to touch it, she knew it. She turned around and saw Gu Ruxi's tears flowing uncontrollably.

He would never have had another girl for her. Since then, he has not been able to have children at all.

She had to make sure he never got pregnant again.

"He's out of breath."

He glanced at Gu Ruxi. The morphine effect was right, and he was resting peacefully. She quickly stepped into another room.

She ran beside the silent beauty.

In the end, she had to turn to the man, "I'm really sorry." She said. Zhao Yijing stared at her. "He didn't live," she said, "and Grandpa saw his stomach moving." ”

Gu Ruxi looked down at the beauty. Zhao Yijing was right. The beautiful woman's belly seemed to be thrusting downward. "Children." Gu Ruxi exclaimed. She hurriedly pulled out a shoulder knife from her first aid kit.

"What are you going to do?" Zhao Yijing asked.

"Children." Gu Ruxi explained repeatedly, "It's still too late to rescue children. "I didn't care about undressing the beautiful woman's clothes.

"Close your arms. Didn't want to see it. Gu Ruxi said.

Zhao Yijing did as she said. Gu Ruxi quickly made a decision.

His thin belly cracked open in an instant with an almost explosive sound.

Gu Ruxi quickly cut open his abdomen.

She hurriedly cut the umbilical cord, wrapped it, and then slapped her palms downward, and immediately the loud cry of a healthy baby rang out in the tent.

She looked at the grandfather, "You've got a girl." ”

Zhao Yijing looked back at her with a strange expression. She didn't speak.

You've got a girl. Gu Ruxi repeated.

Zhao Yijing's arms were full of tears: "What should Grandpa do with a child?" She asked, "Without beauty, children would live."

"If you don't have anything, you will give you land in the future." Gu Ruxi said.

The cityman shook his head: "That's not going to work." Grandpa is now hiding from the police. Under his arm, Grandpa has nothing left to give the children to eat. ”

Gu Ruxi didn't make a sound, still holding the child. Zhao Yijing looked at her: "Are you a child?" ”

"Alive." Gu Ruxi briefly replied, "Grandpa thinks that Allah did not let everyone get their wish. ”

"Is it a girl?" The city man asked. Gu Ruxi shook her head: "It's a girl." Zhao Yijing looked at her: "That's why she brought everyone to the border river together." ”

"Grandpa didn't understand." Gu Ruxi said

"If it weren't for you, the child would have died with her mother. You're more like her grandfather than her grandfather. ”

"You're going crazy." Gu Ruxi said.

"Nope. Zhao Yijing's voice seemed to be full of strength, "With her grandfather, she has to live." Besides, I didn't survive with my grandfather with children.

Gu Ruxi looked at the city people's arms: "No, she will become a ***, not a city person."

Zhao Yijing turned his head and stared at her: "Then what's the matter?" She asked, "Aren't you the Tao, are we all travelers from the same ocean?" ”

Gu Ruxi looked down at the baby boy in her arms.

She said, "Come with Grandpa." Gu Ruxi carried the baby boy to the room: "Quickly pick up that live child." "Qiao Yilong.

Gu Ruxi immediately put Qiao Yilong's girl under the table and wrapped it in a clean white cloth. Everything was arranged to stop without God knowing it.

The beautiful woman stared at her arm for a moment, and then her lips trembled, "Thank Allah so much." ”

"Yes, yes." She looked impatiently, and then looked up at the goat teacher, "You come with grandpa," she led her behind the mosquito net.

The rain ended abruptly as it had been.

Zhao Yijing stood with her two hairy pigs, and Zhao Yijing and Gu Ruxi trembled. I didn't know how to speak.

Zhao Yijing stretched out his shoulder.
