The thing that Yao Hulu was most worried about in his heart had become a fact, and the marriage between Qing Ling and Shizhong had also been scheduled, and in just a few days, he seemed to have been reborn, with unlimited energy. He planned to wait for his granddaughter and grandson-in-law to marry in the future, give birth to a few more great-granddaughters and great-grandchildren, and bring them back to Chigu Castle to build a cottage, maybe it could also develop into the scale of the Xiling Sect in the future.

Seeing that the relationship between Tu Qitang and Liu Ye was becoming more and more stable, the Holy Maiden of Mingyue no longer worried about it, even if she felt sorry for her son who had been wronged, as long as they were happy and happy together, she had nothing to worry about. Compared with the days when the wind and rain were called for in the past, this peaceful life now is also interesting, she no longer has to worry about the disciples who go down the mountain to carry out orders, and she does not have to do those life-threatening things in the face of the powerful.

The poisonous scorpion originally brought them back, thinking that they would leave noisily after staying for a few days, after all, one is the saintess of the Xiling Sect, and the other is the princess of the Han Dynasty, Tu Qitang is also used to living a luxurious life, and even the old guy of the medicine gourd is pretentious all day long.

It was absolutely possible to gather these people together and get used to it, even if they snuck down the mountain the next day, he would definitely be understandable. However, unexpectedly, not only did they survive the first night, but the next few days were also enjoyable. Except for the chatter of the medicine gourd, who kept chattering from morning to night, everyone else seemed to have adapted to life here overnight.

Liu Ye put down the princess's shelf, took the initiative to cook water for cooking, Qingling and Shizhong had a tacit understanding of chopping wood and making a fire to clean the yard, and tidy up this dilapidated courtyard that had been in disrepair for a long time. Although the Holy Maiden of the Bright Moon was closed, she also sincerely repented of her past sins in the room, Tu Qitang proposed to build a new yard nearby, and the poisonous scorpion agreed without even thinking about it, and the words of building the yard showed that they decided to live for a long time, so he didn't have to worry about them leaving at any time.

Poisonous scorpions, medicine gourds, Tu Qitang and Shizhong, although they are all martial arts masters, they are not good at building houses, if you want to ensure the quality of the house, it will not leak rain and collapse or something, it is even more uncertain. The poisonous scorpion has always regarded himself too much to take care of the villagers who live at the foot of the mountain, thinking that they are vulgar and petty commoners, and that they are not worth associating with him. However, in order for everyone to live in a house of acceptable quality, the poisonous scorpion can only aggrieved himself to deal with small civilians and ask them if anyone can help build a house.

Maybe it's because the poisonous scorpion has a good attitude, or maybe it's because the villagers have a simple personality, and they are willing to cooperate with each other. But when Liu Ye took out the bags of money promised in advance, the ecstatic excitement in the eyes of the villagers made the poisonous scorpion understand that it didn't matter if his attitude was good or not, as long as he could get the money, it would still awaken their "simple" nature of helpfulness.

From ancient times to the present, there is money to do things, with money, the wood supplies needed to build the yard were quickly sent to the mountain, the villagers worked very hard, as soon as they thought of helping to build this yard, they could get a year's reward for cutting firewood, who dared to slack off!

In addition to running around the mountains every day to find herbs, Yao Hulu likes to sit at the gate of the new courtyard and watch them work, watching the yard look the same day by day, and if this continues, it won't be long before his granddaughter and grandson-in-law will be able to marry and worship in the church.

"Hey, old man, you're coming to see us work again?" The older man was the village chief, and he also seemed to be the foreman, directing the other villagers to carry timber to build their houses. Usually when I have nothing to do, I am willing to chat with the medicine gourd and the poisonous scorpion, but the poisonous scorpion is cold by nature, and he ignores people after chatting a few words, but the medicine gourd is very talkative, and he is also very good at chatting about family life, which makes these villagers stunned, and thinks that he is also the head of a certain village.

"Yes, I don't look at you, you can do it so fast, hey, old village chief, you should do me a favor, tell the guys to work more quickly, and strive to hand over the house to me in three days." The medicine gourd pointed unceremoniously, counting this one who was lazy and that one who was in a daze.

The old village chief was not angry or annoyed, and after getting along for a few days, he also figured out the temper of the medicine gourd, the medicine gourd has an unforgiving mouth, but his heart is very good, and he is also a warm-hearted person.

"You just put your heart in your stomach, let's do your work, you don't have to worry about it, and make sure to build your house big and good." The old village chief comforted him a few words first, and then explained, "However, it is unrealistic for you to ask us to hand over the house in three days, three days, you think we are all immortals, haha......"

"Then how many days do you have to grind before you can hand over the house? I tell you, my granddaughter is still waiting to be married in a new house! If you delay my granddaughter's good deeds, it means that you can't get along with me, and I will never spare you. The medicine gourd's eyes widened evilly, and he made a gesture to intimidate the old village chief.

The old village chief was not afraid of his intimidation, he laughed twice, stretched his neck to look at Qing Ling, who was sweeping the floor in the old courtyard next door, lowered his voice, and asked mysteriously: "Your granddaughter seems to be from the Western Regions, but you don't look like someone from us here, how did your granddaughter come from?" ”

"Oh, I want you to be nosy, you don't care where I'm from, she's my granddaughter, she is." Yao Hulu was a little unhappy, he didn't like others to talk about his appearance, especially doubting his kinship with Qingling.

"No, no, I didn't mean that, I know that your ancestors and grandchildren are deeply affectionate, even if they are not biological, what does it matter." The old village chief hurriedly explained to him, "Don't get me wrong, in fact, what I want to say is, can you live here permanently?" Don't forget, this is the territory of the Xiongnu, you are a Han Chinese! ”

The medicine gourd raised his eyebrows: "Say, you are a spy of the Huns, do you want to arrest me to invite merit?" Hmph, save some effort, I'm just an ordinary Han person, a worthless little person, even if you catch me and give it to the Xiongnu Shan Yu, you won't get a reward. ”

The old village chief was stunned, and his head shook like a rattle: "you, you see I'm that kind of person, why am I arresting you, what's the use!" We haven't seen the Huns once in this life, what do you have to say to him, you old guy has a lot of eyes, and you can think more about what you say casually. Forget it, let's get to work! ”

"Come back!" The medicine gourd shouted behind him, and the old village chief looked back at him and smiled, "What's the matter, you're really afraid that I will go to the snitch!" Hehe, don't think about it, I'm not afraid to tell you, we are here to ignore the three things, the court, the royal family, and the horse bandits don't care. ”

"I'm not fooling around!" Yao Hulu pretended to ask casually, "Why don't you care about you, don't you say that this is also the territory of the Huns!" ”

The old village chief sat back beside him, and as soon as the chatterbox was opened, he couldn't hold it back: "Who told us to be poor here, there is no grassland grazing, and there is no land to grow food, and the people in this village have been guarding this mountain for generations. Every morning, I cut some firewood and walked more than ten miles to the nearest town to exchange some food, and then walked back and it was almost dark. You are a Han Chinese, and you also know that the Xiongnu have only cared about fighting wars over the years, when have they taken care of us ordinary people, alas, whether they can survive or not depends on personal creation, and the court is left to our own devices. ”

"There are still a lot of small villages like ours that no one cares about, and they all rely on the weather for food, and they can live one day at a time. It's just that we are here at the junction of Wusun and Qiuzi, and those ferocious horse bandits are rushing to this area, robbing the money and food of the passing caravans, and after a long time, outsiders call this place a den of thieves, who would dare to come! In recent years, horse bandits have not been able to grab things, so they no longer come, and we have become a real three-way here. ”

"So, old man, you don't have to worry, it shouldn't be a problem for you to live here for three or five years, but it's hard to say what will happen in the future, and no one dares to say how long they will live in this era of war. Either way, you'd better be careful, and if you find a suitable place to go in Wusun or Qiuzi, you might as well go! ”

Yao Hulu smiled disapprerovingly: "Okay, I know that you are not a spy, if you are really short-lived, it will be the same wherever you live, on the other hand, even if a person with a big life hides under the nose of the enemy, he is not afraid of causing death." Hey, you talk so much to me, don't you want to be lazy, you go to work for me, and hand over the house to me in three days. ”

"Let's go, let's go, don't rush me and I'm planning to leave, it's impossible to hand over the house in three days, and it's useless for you to force me." The old village chief patted his ass and left, pointing to the crooked beam and shouting, "To the left, to the left, it's all crooked like that, and put it on the roof......"

Yao Hulu watched him teach those careless young men, he smiled, and when he saw Liu Ye and Qingling in the courtyard next door, he couldn't help but sigh: "It's not for me to say where to go, I don't want to stay here!" As long as my granddaughter is doing well and living anywhere, I am still waiting to hold my great-grandson, and I am reluctant to go away. ”

After a while, the old village chief went and returned, and he hurriedly pulled the medicine gourd and walked down the mountain: "Quick, come with me to save people......"

"Saving people? What people to save? The medicine gourd slapped his hand away and muttered inexplicably, "Pull me away without a head or a brain, do you want to do it?" ”

"Aren't you a doctor? It's only right for a doctor to save people! The old village chief was so anxious that he knelt down for him, "This village is remote, even if you go to the town to ask for a doctor, you can come at night, please, you can help me save someone!" ”

Seeing that he didn't look like he was pretending, the medicine gourd frowned and thought for a while, and asked, "What's the matter?" Tell me who you are going to save, is it injured or what? ”

"It's my daughter-in-law......" The old village chief saw that he agreed, and hurriedly responded, "My daughter-in-law gave birth to a child and fainted, and she shed a lot of blood, my son just came to me, I thought of you, please, you must save my daughter-in-law." ”

Yao Hulu's brows furrowed deeper and deeper, and he shook his head again and again: "No, no, I don't know how to deliver babies, and I'm not a stable woman, what use do you think of me?" ”

"Ah, who else can I go to but you, old gourd, can't you help me this time?" The old village chief knelt down for him again, "I only have this one son, I have been waiting for this grandson for more than ten years, if my daughter-in-law has three long and two short, our whole family will not be able to live......"

The medicine gourd pulled him up by the collar: "Wouldn't it be good to ask your son to marry another daughter-in-law, how can it be so serious, and the whole family can't live." ”

"You, how can you talk like this, you ......" The old village chief was so angry that he almost lost his breath, pointed to the bitter face of the medicine gourd, and stammered speechless.

"Grandfather, what's wrong?" Qing Ling and Liu Ye saw them pulling and pulling, and thought they had an argument, so they caught up and asked what was going on.

"It's nothing, his daughter-in-law gave birth to a child and hemorrhaged." The medicine gourd said lightly.

Seeing the old village chief's tearful appearance, even Qing Ling felt that the medicine gourd was too unkind, so he pulled him aside and said, "A woman who has a difficult birth will die, do you watch people die?" Saving someone's life is better than building a seventh-level floating slaughter, grandfather, you can go and see it! ”

Yao Hulu was embarrassed and said: "It's not that I don't want to save people, I really can't go, I'm a big man, go to deliver a woman?" This is going to be a moldy head! ”

"Who said it, how can there be such a thing, don't think nonsense, it's a good thing to save people, God won't let you go unlucky." Qingling eagerly pulled him, "Let's go, don't hesitate, human life is at stake, if you think about it for a while, you can't save it if you want to." ”

The grandparents and grandsons turned around, but they disappeared from the old village chief and Liu Ye, and chased down the mountain to see, it turned out that Liu Ye had rushed to save people.

"Oh, grandfather, it's all your fault, if you hadn't made a fuss, you wouldn't have let the princess go down the mountain herself. Now it's a big problem, and you have to go if you don't go. Qing Ling complained a few words about the medicine gourd, and hurriedly chased it out, although she didn't take the birth, but she also knew a little better.

"You, you ......" the medicine gourd stomped his foot and followed with a sigh.

The old village chief's family all had sad faces, walking back and forth outside the delivery room, the medicine gourd still insisted on refusing to enter the delivery room, and the pestle said a few words to Qingling at the door from time to time to ask about the mother's situation.

When Liu Ye and Qing Ling rushed away, the old village chief's daughter-in-law had already fainted with a lot of blood, and Qing Ling hurriedly pricked her with the silver needle of the medicine gourd, so that she woke up from the danger of being in a coma.

"For the sake of the child, you have to hold on." Liu Ye gave birth to cattle and horses, but he had no experience in delivering babies, and he couldn't help but be a little scared when he saw a lot of blood flowing out of the mother's body. But in order to appease the mother, she could only make a calm appearance, "Don't worry, we can save you and the child, as long as you do what I say, you can get through this hurdle." ”

The mother held Liu Ye's hand, bit her lip and nodded, Liu Ye took a sweat towel and stuffed it in her mouth, and gently patted her shoulder to signal her to relax: "It's okay, it's okay, take your time, your mother and son will be safe......"

With Liu Ye's encouragement, the mother gradually relaxed, regained her intention to survive, and took a deep breath with Liu Ye's gestures.

Liu Ye comforted the mother, and Qingling could also calm down to help her stop the bleeding, and grabbed the child's head with courage, pretending to be calm and said to the mother: "Okay, the child is now in my hands, don't be nervous, try to work harder, and you can give birth to the child with more effort." ”

With tears in her eyes, the mother grabbed Liu Ye's hand and exerted all her strength. After a while, the back of Liu Ye's hand was pinched and covered with blood, and she frowned in pain, but despite this, Liu Ye still comforted softly: "Very good, the child will be born soon, you are doing well......"

Qing Ling saw the little life in his hand, and his desire to save him became stronger and stronger, and he dragged the child's young body full of blood with both hands, asking the mother to cooperate and exert force. Finally, the child's body was completely separated from the mother's body, and Qingling was stunned in his arms, excited and didn't know what to do.

Seeing this, Liu Ye rushed over and picked up scissors to cut the umbilical cord, pulled out the placenta, took the child from Qingling's arms, and said loudly: "Stop the bleeding for her!" ”

"Oh, yes, yes......" Qing Ling came back to her senses, helped the mother deal with her wounds, busily changed a few acupuncture points and punctured needles, and took out the pill that helped restore qi and blood for her to take.

After a long period of dystocia, the child's little face turned blue, Liu Ye hurriedly patted him on the back, knowing that he spit out dirt and cried. The mother-in-law and sister-in-law heard the child's cry and rushed in to visit their mother and son.

"Boy, it's a boy......" The mother-in-law and sister-in-law hugged the child, cried excitedly, and shouted out the door, "It's a boy......"

Liu Ye glanced at the pregnant woman who was breathing weakly and was close to a coma, and hurriedly said: "You first wipe the child's body to keep warm, the child's mother is very weak, go find the person who came with us." ”

"Yes......" The mother-in-law hurriedly wrapped the child with the futon, and the sister-in-law ran out to pull the medicine gourd, "Save my sister-in-law, please save her......"

Seeing that the child was brought out, the medicine gourd could only stubbornly follow her into the house, take the pulse for the mother, and nodded: "It's okay, fortunately, Qingling's treatment is timely, she is just too weak to faint, give her a few pills I made, and she can recover after a few days." ”

Hearing what the medicine gourd said, Liu Ye finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the mother tried her best to open her eyes and asked, "Child, how is my child?" ”

Liu Ye smiled and said, "The child is very healthy, don't worry!" You sleep for a while, take care of your body, and wake up to see him! ”

"Thank you, thank you......" The mother thanked Liu Ye and Qingling from the bottom of her heart, but she didn't have any strength now, closed her eyes and fell asleep.

Liu Ye and Qing Ling were covered with blood, and when they left with the medicine gourd, the old village chief chased them out with a few pieces of bacon, and knelt down to them with his son: "Save your life, save your life, we really don't know how to repay ...... such great kindness."

Liu Ye hurriedly picked up the old village chief and his son: "Don't say that, saving people is what you should do." ”

The old village chief kept wiping away his tears, and desperately stuffed the bacon into the arms of the medicine gourd: "Accept it, accept it quickly, we don't have any good things at home, you must not dislike it!" ”

Qing Ling smiled and returned the bacon to them: "My grandfather doesn't eat meat, you can keep it for yourselves!" By the way, the child's mother is very weak, so you give it to her. ”

"How can this work, how can you run for nothing...... "These pieces of bacon are kept by the old village chief's family for the New Year, and they are also the most valuable things in their family.

"It's not in vain, your grandson was delivered by me, and I feel very proud." Qing Ling smiled happily and pushed the old village chief and his son back, "Okay, okay, if you really don't want to go, you can help me chop some firewood in two days, and go back to take care of the child and daughter-in-law......"

The old village chief and the others turned back step by step, gratefully not knowing what to do, crying red eyes, and supporting each other to go home.

"Who said I don't eat meat, you little girl makes your own decisions!" The medicine gourd snorted angrily, turned around and walked up the mountain.

"Are you embarrassed to ask for something from someone else? If the princess hadn't called you, you wouldn't have come into the house, and besides, you wouldn't have helped you in any way, so why should you eat meat! Qing Ling replied unceremoniously.

"Oh, how did I raise you little girl who eats inside and out......"

"You're the cold-blooded old man who can't be saved......"

The medicine gourd and Qing Ling happily quarreled, Liu Ye looked up at the sky, and felt that the sky was exceptionally clear.
