Chapter 4: Time on the Mountain

After leaving, there were only a few women and children left in the village, and I roughly calculated, except for me and Hu Rouan and a few old mothers close to her, there were only more than ten people left. Every day, I went to play with two children near the village. They taught me how to grill fish, taught me to distinguish wild strawberries, and often stole glutinous rice, sausages, and bacon made at home for me to eat.

These two children are named Yun Duo and Zhang Yan, both of whom are about twelve or thirteen years old, and the one named Yun Duo is a little girl of the Qiang nationality, who looks unusually charming, with a melon seed face, Danfeng eyes, and a small mouth that looks like hyaluronic acid, and when she laughs, her eyes are bent into the moon. I call her Sister Fairy, she's so beautiful. The child named Zhang Yan has a much calmer personality, usually doesn't like to laugh or talk, but he is also a warm-hearted person.

The common people here live a hard life, some of them reclaim some land in the mountains to plant, some raise yaks and sheep, in the spring, the men go up the mountain to hunt, and some do not come back for a month, but now the soldiers are in chaos, the men have enlisted in the army, and only some women, the elderly and children are left behind. The children have no school to go to school, and since they were young, they have helped the family herd cattle and sheep, cook and do laundry. Like several younger siblings in Zhang Yan's family, she is also responsible for taking care of her younger siblings.

I often told them about my life, and they loved it, and they would ask a lot of questions each time. They were born in this mountain, and some of them will not leave until they die of old age, so they are particularly yearning for life outside.

At first, they called me my sister outside, but later because I always told them strange things and taught them simple words, they called me Mr. Woman.

The people here are simple, and I have a great relationship with them. But Hu Rou'an, she is in the village every day, and she often advises me not to get too close to those untouchables, saying that it is unscrupulous, and so on. I took her words as a deaf ear and still went my own way!

I looked at my belly, about four or five months pregnant, and my belly was bulging, and it was past the danger period of three months. This child really loves his mother, I don't have any pregnancy reactions, I should eat and drink every day, but I am also happy.

Although Shushan is dangerous, but the scenery is extremely beautiful, I was particularly yearning for the beautiful scenery of Jiuzhai Huanglong in that life, but it is a pity that an earthquake destroyed the beautiful scenery of Jiuzhai nearly half.

That day, Yun Duo and Zhang Yan took me to look for wild strawberries, which were small and red, washed by the river, and then cooked in a jar and put white sugar, and it became strawberry jam, which was very delicious with sweet and sour. By the river, we also caught a salamander, which had a strange appearance, and it was said that it sounded like a child's voice, hence the name salamander. However, Zhang Yan said that the baby fish symbolized some kind of god and that the locals would not eat it, so we put it back.

I still don't remember anything about this life, and I don't know anything about the life of the child in my womb. That night, I sneaked into Hu Rou'an's room, sat in front of her bed, and when she opened her eyes, she was frightened: "Sister, what are you doing, you don't sleep in the middle of the night, what are you doing in my room?" ”

"Hu Rou'an, I want to know if the child in the womb is the prince's?"

"The content in my stomach is naturally the prince's, and I don't know what you have in your stomach."

"Hu Rou'an, you are with the prince every day, how can you not know?" I'm angry, what a pretentious woman.

"Miss Zang, I have been by the prince's side for five years, and I have seen you for the first time in five years. Never heard of you before! As for who the child in your belly is, I really don't know, I only know that a few days ago, the prince led troops to patrol and rescued you in the upper reaches of the Min River, and settled here. ”

So, the child in my belly is not indulgent at all?

"Sister, you are blessed with a great life, just take care of the fetus with peace of mind for now, don't think about anything else, okay? Also, I have long advised you not to mingle with those wild girls, they are just greedy for our wealth ......"

"I see......" I went out before she could finish speaking. Where should I go in this life?
