Ying Xue took care of his sleeves alone. While stretching his neck, he waited for Fuquan to come back with Wen Po. But it was past noon. and still do not see the blessed one. Signs of abdominal pain in the arms. But it is also more and more obvious.

"Master. You stand up a little more. Fu Quan is about to come back. Follow the footsteps of the warm-blooded horse. Fu Quan is about to turn around the village under the mountain right now......" Yingxue softly soothed his sleeves. From time to time, use a small spoon to feed the brown sugar water little by little in the mouth of the sleeve.

Huai Sleeve has long been discouraged by labor pains at this moment. It hurts for a while. Take a breather. I felt that my lower abdomen was swelling down one by one.

It's past the end of the day. When the sun begins to turn westward. Fuquan finally came back in the dust.

Yingxue immediately ran to the door. Look behind him. But I didn't see any stable figure.

"Tell you to invite Wen Po." Yingxue asked with a frown.

Fu Quan looked depressed. The pimples on his brows were twisted into Sichuan characters: "I ran to all the villages under the mountain." Up and down the mountain. I've searched all the places where people live. There are only two Wen Po in total. One went to his daughter's house for the New Year and hasn't come back yet. Another ......"

Fuquan said this. He hesitated to look at the sleeve lying on the bed. Bow your head and be silent.

"What's wrong with the other one. Say it. Ying Xue shouted anxiously.

Fu Quan was silent for a long time. was really forced by Yingxue. Only then did he lie on Yingxue's shoulder. He whispered, "The other one heard that we live in this courtyard." Death will not come. Said that our courtyard is full of dead ghosts. ”

Yingxue is acute. I heard this blessing say this. A flame nested in his chest rushed up. Said angrily: "Hmph." All right. Since she said that we are ghosts. Let's talk to her about some reason. The old lady is looking for the ghost road. Forcibly tied her up. ”

Yingxue as she spoke. Pick up a bundle of thick hemp rope next to it and go out. But I heard the sleeve on the bed whisper: "Yingxue." You wait......"

Yingxue, who was originally anxious and white-eyed. was called by the soft voice of the sleeve. Immediately stopped. Turn around and lie down beside the bed. Looking at the pale face with painful sleeves. Tears rolled out.

"Good girl. If you don't invite Wen Po, forget it. No one stipulates that a woman must find a stable wife when she gives birth. The sleeves barely pulled out a smile. But the voice is extremely gentle.

Yingxue heard Huai Sleeve say this. The tears rolled even harder. Holding his arm, he said, "But I haven't done anything like that." Master, you are also giving birth to a child for the first time. I can't watch you suffer. But I can only stand on the dry shore. ”

Huai Sleeve shook his head slightly: "This is a personal creation. Maybe my arms are destined for this. I'm lucky. Don't kill me......"

That's it. There was a sudden spasm in my abdomen. His sleeves widened widely. Biting his lip, he couldn't say a word.

Yingxue saw this scene. Knowing that the sleeve is really going to be born. Even if she had the heart to tie up that stable woman. But for now. It's no longer a place to leave.

Looking at the heart-rending pain in his arms. Yingxue rolled up her sleeves. Horizontal heart. He said in a deep voice: "I have never given birth to a child." I haven't seen a horse give birth to a foal? Since there is no one to care. Then I'll do it. ”

Yingxue's words. The sleeve that was in pain couldn't help but laugh. Panting for air. Huai Sleeve raised his eyes to look at Ying Xue and said, "Good girl." Luckily, you're a daring man. Do what you have to do. Whether I live or not. I remember you. ”

Yingxue is tearing pieces of cotton cloth into pieces of cloth. Ready for use. I heard Huai Sleeve say this. Bright eyes looked at the sleeves and said seriously: "If the master survives." Let's be happy together in the future. If you can't make it. Return to the west road. Yingxue is with you. ”

Huai Sleeve exhaled deeply. I felt a wave of more intense pain strike again. Fingers clasped tightly on the bed. With the strength of the lower abdomen falling downward, drive in hard.

Yingxue saw that the corners of her lips were bitten bloodied. A piece of soft cotton cloth is placed between her jawbones and bites. Carefully wipe the sweat oozing from the forehead of the sleeve with a handkerchief.

Fu Quan is outside the door. It's also a quick back and forth. I heard the hard work of the sleeves in the sleeves again and again. I felt as uncomfortable as a big stone in my heart.

I couldn't hear any movement. I couldn't help but lie on the door panel and ask, "How is it?" Is the little master out? ”

"What's the hurry. Where is it so fast. You quickly boil a large pot of hot water and prepare. Yingxue's hurried voice came from inside.

Fuquan immediately agreed. Hurry to add firewood to the stove. I'm afraid that there won't be enough water. He also filled the tank with a full tank of water.

The sleeves tossed from early morning until the sun set. When it gets dark. I faintly felt that the child was about to come out.

First, Yingxue saw that a large piece of wet water was on the mattress under her sleeve. I suddenly remembered when my mother gave birth to my sister. That's also true. In a trance, I remember that at that time, Wen Po and this were called "amniotic fluid". It is said that if the amniotic water is broken, it is about to give birth.

"Master. Work harder. The little master is about to come out. Yingxue cheered up the sleeves. While wiping the sweat from her forehead like water.

The hand with the sleeve clutched the quilt. Use the strength to feed. With the feeling of swelling and pain in the abdomen falling into the force.

Yingxue nervously roasted and roasted a pair of scissors on the lamp. Staying by the bed, I didn't dare to walk away.

The hours passed imperceptibly. Just as Yingxue wiped her face with a warm handkerchief. Suddenly, I heard a very clear wolf howl outside. It was as if it was just outside the courtyard walls.

Yingxue was frightened and immediately ran to the door. shouted: "Fuquan." Fuquan, did you hear the wolf howling? There are wolves. ”

"I hear you. I've lit torches in the yard. I don't know how these brutes have the audacity to do so tonight. I wasn't even afraid of torches. It seems that there is more than one ......"

Fu Quan's words just fell. Yingxue heard the sound of crackling claws scratching wood in the window. Yingxue was frightened and immediately ran over. Use a wooden stick to hold the window against it.

But I just got this window. The other window creaked again from the wolf's paws. Yingxue hurriedly jumped over again. Pick up a large wooden box on the ground. Dead resistance to the window.

The room just stopped. Ying Xue followed closely and heard a curse from Fuquan outside. This was followed by the howl of a wolf being stabbed.

Ying Xue asked anxiously: "Fuquan." You're fine. ”

"I'm fine. You take care of your master. Don't come out. These brutes are crazy tonight. More than a dozen ...... came in one go."

Yingxue faintly looked through the crack in the door. Mifukuquan constantly used torches to scare away wolves that wanted to rush in. But there were still a lot of wolves trying to get in through the cracks in the door.

The door of the outer hall was broken. Fu Quan temporarily used two large tree stumps against it. Seeing that it has been crumbling by the wolves.

Ying Xue couldn't help but burst into tears when she saw this scene. scolded angrily: "God, you can't open your eyes." Our master is such a good man. You don't say anything about letting her suffer such a sin. And got so many wolves. You have blinded the lard. God who are you regardless of good or evil. ”
