Chapter 197: Carrying a woman across the river
"Xiaowei, what's wrong?"
Uncle Zhou walked quickly, opened the door, and saw a middle-aged man sweating profusely and looking anxious.
Zhou Xiaowei breathed a sigh of relief and said anxiously: "Uncle Zhou, Qiulan suddenly said that she was going to give birth at night, but she was too late to send her to the hospital, she had been giving birth for a long time and had not been able to give birth, Aunt Li was also anxious, let me call you!" ”
"You wait for me, I'll get a medicine box!" Zhou Bo said hurriedly turned around and ran into the house.
"Uncle Zhou, what's going on?" Chen Yimu took the last bite, got up and asked.
"Xiaowei and his daughter-in-law have a difficult birth, I have to go and see, you eat yours, it's too dark at night, just make do with it, there is a quilt in the back room, you can spread it yourself......" Zhou Bo picked up the box and hurriedly explained, and he was about to walk out quickly.
Chen Yimu casually turned off the light, followed, and said, "I'm staying alone, I'll do me a favor!" ”
"This ...... Yes. Zhou Bo was stunned for a moment and agreed.
Zhou Xiaowei was stunned for a moment when he saw that there were other people in Uncle Zhou's house.
When Zhou Bo was in his twenties, he had a wife, who was not in good health, and died of illness within a few days of marriage, and he never remarried.
At this moment, a stranger appeared coldly, which really puzzled him.
I didn't hear that Uncle Zhou had other relatives, let alone that he had such young friends.
Zhou Bo closed the door of the courtyard, saw that Zhou Xiaowei was stunned, and hurriedly shouted: "What are you doing in a daze, hurry up!" ”
"Oh, who is Uncle Zhou?" Zhou Xiaowei came to his senses and walked forward quickly, not forgetting to turn his head to look at Chen Yimu.
"I got lost, and Uncle Zhou took me in." Chen Yimu answered by himself.
I see.
"Look at this young guy doesn't look like a bad guy, he should be fine......" Zhou Xiaowei said to himself.
"How long has Qiulan been born?" Zhou Bo asked.
"My stomach started to hurt at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, and then the amniotic water broke, so I went to call Aunt Li." Zhou Xiaowei replied.
Zhou Xiaowei grabbed Uncle Zhou's arm and asked, "Uncle Zhou, Qiulan will be fine, right?" ”
"Don't be nervous, Aunt Li is an experienced midwife, there will be a way!" Zhou Bo replied.
Chen Yimu looked at Zhou Bo and frowned, something was wrong.
It's 8 o'clock in the evening, and Zhou Xiaowei and his daughter-in-law have been giving birth for almost 5 hours.
Estimates are not encouraging.
Sure enough, as Chen Yimu guessed, Uncle Zhou's pace sped up a lot.
Zhou Bo lived on the side of the mountain at the end of the village, and most of the people in the village gathered in an open area far away.
To walk towards Zhou Xiaowei's house, you must pass through a river.
After a while, Chen Yimu heard the sound of gurgling water.
At night, a small river crosses and flows slowly towards the open terrain.
The river was glowing with a little moonlight, and the vision suddenly became much brighter.
"Someone?" Chen Yimu said in surprise.
Why is there still someone sitting by the river at such a late hour?
It looks like she's still a woman!
The three of them walked to the river and saw a woman sitting on a stone pier by the road with her head bowed, holding a bamboo basket covered with a cloth in her arms.
The woman was wearing black casual clothes and a pair of black and white-soled casual shoes, and she looked down on any style, but she was about thirty years old.
Uncle Zhou looked around and asked aloud, "Girl, why don't you go home so late?" ”
"I'm going to my relative's house, but I don't know the way, I'm hungry and tired, I don't know how to cross the river, so I have to rest here." The woman replied softly.
The voice was very soft, and if it weren't for the three of them listening to it, it really wouldn't have been heard.
Chen Yimu turned his head to look and saw a passage paved with stone piers in the river, crossing the river.
As long as you walk carefully, it is impossible to fall at all.
And it's a river, but it's actually a small stream.
At night, Chen Yimu could see the pebbles underneath and reach for them.
No matter how impassable you are, you won't be afraid of being like this.
Zhou Xiaowei on the side also looked at the river, but he was in a hurry.
"Uncle Zhou, hurry up, Qiulan is still waiting for ......," Zhou Xiaowei urged.
Zhou Xiaowei turned his head to the woman and said, "Girl, I'll carry you over!" ”
"This ...... Sorry for you! The woman hesitated and nodded in agreement.
Zhou Xiaowei walked in front of the woman, turned around and squatted down, his back to the woman.
The woman held the basket in one hand and lay on Zhou Xiaowei's back.
"Give me the basket, be careful!" Uncle Zhou admonished.
The woman hesitated and handed the basket in her hand to Uncle Zhou.
It's so heavy!
The arm sank, and the basket almost fell to the ground.
Uncle Zhou's face was surprised, he thought that this small basket was just a little souvenir or something, but he didn't expect it to be so heavy.
And just now the woman seemed to have handed it to him with one hand.
Dazzling, dazzling.
"Uncle Zhou, I'll take it!" Chen Yimu saw that Zhou Bo was already carrying the medicine box in one hand, so he reached out and took the basket.
Chen Yimu just saw Uncle Zhou's appearance, thinking that he was too old to carry it.
But after I took it myself, I found that it was really heavy, at least a ** catty.
Zhou Xiaowei carried the woman onto the stone pier and walked forward slowly.
Zhou Bo followed closely behind, guarding against the point.
Chen Yimu followed unhurriedly, looking at the stones in the river and the surrounding mountains and forests.
In less than a minute, Zhou Xiaowei crossed the river and put the woman down.
"Thank you!"
The woman thanked her and hurried forward, disappearing from sight.
"Eh, eh, ......"
Zhou Xiaowei was just about to shout, but found that the woman was gone, and said to himself: "It seems that no one lives over there......"
"What's wrong?" Zhou Bo walked down and asked.
"Nothing."
Zhou Bo didn't see the woman, he just thought that the woman had left by herself.
Chen Yimu found that the woman was gone, and hurriedly said, "Eh, people, the basket is still with me!" ”
"Oh, I'll just say how do you think it's weird......" Zhou Xiaowei suddenly realized.
"So what can I do about it?" Chen Yimu asked.
"Let's take it first, the girl found that the thing was missing, she will definitely come to find it, let's go!" Zhou Bo said and walked forward quickly.
The three of them left the river and walked for almost 10 minutes before they saw a village.
Zhou Xiaowei took the lead and walked briskly, and pushed open the door of the family.
"Dad, I'm back!" Zhou Xiaowei shouted.
Dad Zhou was walking back and forth in the yard uneasily, and suddenly heard the door being opened, his face was happy, and he said, "Xiaowei, are you back, where is Old Zhou?" ”
Zhou Bo followed, walked in, and asked, "What's the situation now?" ”
"Old Zhou, Lao Zhou, go and see Qiulan, Sister Li is busy inside." Dad Zhou said anxiously.
Zhou Xiaowei's mother left early, he pulled Zhou Xiaowei to grow up alone, his son finally married a daughter-in-law, and he was looking forward to holding his grandson.
Now that this is happening, Dad Zhou has to be anxious.
In the countryside, men were not allowed to be present when giving birth, but now the situation is special, and Zhou Bo didn't care so much, so he pushed the door in......
