The wind from the mountains was blowing far away, carrying the humidity after the rain last night, and there was a slight chill.

I don't know when, Gao Lang had finished talking to the team leader, stood behind Jin Xiaolou, untied his crane and gently draped it on Jin Xiaolou's body.

"It's cool in the window." Gao Lang opened his mouth and helped Jin Xiaolou to walk into the house.

It has been four months pregnant, Jin Xiaolou's lower abdomen bulged slightly, and when she walked in, her hand naturally stroked her lower abdomen, which was her habit, who knows, this time as soon as she put her hand down, she felt the little guy in her stomach move violently.

Jin Xiaolou was worried about it, and hurriedly pulled Gao Lang's hand to touch his stomach.

But as soon as Gao Lang's warm palm came up, the guy in his stomach obediently didn't move again. Only Jin Xiaolou and Gao Lang are left with big eyes and small eyes.

"He just moved." Jin Xiaolou explained his sudden behavior of pulling his hand and touching his belly.

"Hmm." Gao Lang nodded, with a smile in his eyebrows, "Maybe I ate too much fragrant sauce cake and got angry." ”

"Not really!" Jin Xiaolou opened Gao Lang's hand, although she ate all the fragrant sauce cakes in the cage last night...... But that's not what she wants to eat, it's that the child in her belly has a good appetite!

Well, yes, it's for kids.

The child in the belly is not as worry-free as Lin'er, not only does it grow faster than an ordinary fetus, but the belly of these four months is almost the same as that of other people's five or six months, which makes Jin Xiaolou's stomach more than three times bigger, and every meal has to eat a large bowl of rice under the surprised eyes of everyone.

"But...... When it comes to sauce cakes...... I seem to ...... Hungry again. Jin Xiaolou swallowed.

Gao Lang smiled heartily and doted on Jin Xiaolou's shoulder: "Let's go, eat cakes!" ”

The two of them walked out of the courtyard and went to the door of the small courtyard of Aunt Yan's house next door, and gently knocked on the door.

Aunt Yan was alone, her son and husband went to the battlefield on the border of tribute and never came back, but although she lost her husband and son, her life was still optimistic.

The small two-room earthen house is neatly furnished, and the front and rear courtyards are full of flowers, plants and fruit trees.

Now that autumn is getting stronger, the morning glories outside the fence in the front yard are blooming luxuriantly, and the purple flowers are muttering like a little girl's flower skirt blown up by the wind.

The three persimmon trees in the yard are full of golden persimmons, and Aunt Yan is standing under the tree with a long bamboo pole to beat fruits.

As soon as the pole went down, the big and round persimmons fluttered and fell to the ground.

Turning her head to see someone outside the courtyard gate, Aunt Yan picked up two persimmons and wiped them on the apron around her waist, and handed the persimmons to the person outside the door while opening the door: "You came at the right time, the persimmons that have just been beaten are very sweet, try them!" ”

Jin Xiaolou took a bite and took a bite, his mouth full of incense.

Seeing that Jin Xiaolou liked to eat, Gao Lang stuffed his persimmon into Jin Xiaolou's hand.

Seeing this, Aunt Yan hurriedly said: "It must be that the little lady is hungry, you two have just come to my yard, this ripe persimmon can't eat more when you are hungry, the eldest lady will make you two sauce cakes to fill your stomach first, and bring the persimmons back when you leave later." ”

As soon as he heard this, Gao Lang took back the persimmon in Jin Xiaolou's hand.

Entering the house, the cakes were served on the table after a while, and Aunt Yan was also happy when she saw Jin Xiaolou's love of food.

"The little lady is six months pregnant, right?" Aunt Yan looked at Jin Xiaolou's big belly and spoke.

"Where, it's just been four months, my lady eats a lot, and the little guy has grown fatter." Gao Lang smiled and looked at Jin Xiaolou, who was holding a cake in one hand and gobbling it up.

"Four months?" Aunt Yan was taken aback, "It doesn't look like it, it won't be a wrong day, right?" ”

After saying that, he shook his head first, this pregnancy day should not be wrong.

"I see!" Aunt Yan suddenly raised her tone, "The little lady must be pregnant with twins!" ”

"Twins?!" Jin Xiaolou choked so much that he almost flew out of the cake in his hand.

"Impossible, right?" "Am I that good?"

Jin Xiaolou and Gao Lang spoke at the same time, and when they heard Gao Lang's words, Jin Xiaolou glared at him secretly.

Aunt Yan was already smiling from ear to ear: "It must be, otherwise this belly wouldn't be so big!" ”

Jin Xiaolou was suspicious, and his heart was also stunned and happy.

It was not until they had finished eating the bread and three more persimmons that they had returned to the courtyard where they had borrowed them, and they had not come back to their senses.

It wasn't until the next morning that the group left Gujia Village and went to Mihe, sat in the carriage, and watched Nanyang learning to make new clothes for the unborn child clumsily, and then muttered: "Maybe I want to prepare one more piece." ”

"What?" Nanyang didn't hear Jin Xiaolou's muttering clearly, and put down the work in his hand.

Her hands have been dancing with knives and guns since childhood, and she is familiar with swords, but this small embroidery needle often cuts her fingers.

But in the few days she stayed in Gujia Village, she was stunned to follow the elderly grandmother in the village, learning stitch by needle, just to make a meeting gift for the child in her wife's belly.

"Aunt Yan next door said that I was pregnant with twins." Jin Xiaolou arrived again.

Nanyang was overjoyed and hugged Jin Xiaolou: "Madam, this is a blessing from God!" ”

"No wonder I asked Lin'er if she wanted a brother or a sister, and Lin'er said she wanted it." Nanyang let go of Jin Xiaolou again and hugged Lin'er, "Xiao Lin'er's mouth is really spiritual, and Mrs. must have a son and a daughter in her belly!" Lin'er has both a younger brother and a younger sister! ”

While the two were talking, the carriage suddenly stopped, and only to hear the commotion outside, which did not stop for a long time.

Nanyang hurriedly lifted the curtain and went out to see the situation, and after a cup of tea, he came in again: "Madam, I am about to get on the boat and cross the river in front, I heard the caravan boss say that after crossing the river, they will go to the leopard forest from time to time, and now they are packing their bags and hiding their valuable materials under the cart." ”

"Leopard Forest ......" Jin Xiaolou's heart tightened.

Leopard Forest, someone will do it, before he goes out, Jin Xiaolou has already told Gao Lang.

Nanyang may not know yet.

Jin Xiaolou frowned, looked at the rippling river outside the window, and said to Nanyang: "Let's separate from the caravan here." ”

"Madame, what are you doing?" Nanyang was taken aback, "All the way with the caravan, it is through their power to keep us safe, and now that we are separated from them, wouldn't the road ahead be even more dangerous?" ”

As soon as Nanyang's words were spoken, Gao Lang had already opened the curtain from the outside: "Lady, let's separate from here and the caravan, okay?" ”

Nanyang was stunned.

Jin Xiaolou had already smiled tacitly: "That's what I mean." ”

"This, this!" Nanyang was anxious, "Seventh Master, the Leopard Forest is an extremely dangerous place!" ”

"I have ordered Chang'an to find out the way, and as soon as we cross the river, we will all change our clothes and walk with the caravan." Gao Lang Chongjin Xiaolou arrived, "Although there are few of us, but there are three of us, it is still easy to keep Lin'er and you safe." ”

Jin Xiaolou nodded, she understood Gao Lang's intentions.

Now that it was known that the caravan's two bodyguards would attack the leopard forest, it was safest to separate from them.

Lest the hidden arrow is close by, and it is impossible to guard against it.

Then Jin Xiaolou told Nanyang the reason for parting ways, and Nanyang calmed down, so he clenched his fists hard.

No matter what the road ahead is, she will protect his wife and daughter for the seventh master, so that the seventh master can rest assured.

After Gao Lang communicated with the people of the caravan, the caravan took the lead in the board car and boarded the ferry.

Jin Xiaolou looked through the car window and saw the scar and the fat man on the boat frequently turning his head to look at them. I also sweated in my heart, even if I was far away from these two people, I still had to be vigilant and hopeful at all times...... I hope to arrive safely in Jiang Hui.

Jin Xiaolou hugged Lin'er and covered his stomach.

……

The leopard forest sounds like a dense forest, but in fact, there is not a single big tree within a radius of ten miles.

The four corners are bare and desolate, and the rolling hills are densely packed with weathered stone columns, which are really chaotic stone forests.

Before Jin Xiaolou and his party arrived at the leopard forest, the carriage could not pass, and the caravans in the past were all abandoned by the carts, replaced with manpower to set up a frame and carried over, and waited for the leopard forest to go to the nearest town to buy new carriages and horses.

Nanyang helped Jin Xiaolou get out of the car, packed his bags, and after a little preparation, he got up and walked towards the chaotic stone forest. As soon as he took two steps in, he saw a large flat-headed snake with the thickness of an arm climbing down from the stone pillar, which frightened Nanyang into a scream, and slashed with his sword, cutting the snake into two parts.

Fortunately, Jin Xiaolou is not afraid of snakes, otherwise he would have to be scared enough.

"There's a lot of scary stuff ahead, don't mess around." Gao Lang instructed Nanyang, protected Jin Xiaolou's side, and asked in a low voice, "Are you scared?" ”

Seeing Jin Xiaolou shaking his head, he was relieved.

But at this point, it is no longer half a step away from the small building.
