Chapter Seventy-Six: A Bright Future

Liu Ye and Qing Ling saw that the old village chief of Yaohulu was arguing over something, and hurriedly stepped forward to stop it, and when they learned that the old village chief's daughter-in-law had a difficult birth, they rushed to help without hesitation. Although I have no experience in delivering babies, after some hard work, I was able to keep my mother and child safe.

Tu Qitang didn't see Liu Ye for a long time, so he ran to ask the teacher, who hadn't seen Qingling for a few hours, and thought that they would go up the mountain to pick herbs, but they didn't expect to wait until the evening. Tu Qitang and Shi Zhong couldn't sit still anymore, and the two went up the mountain to look for them, for fear that they would have an accident.

The poisonous scorpion prepared this table of food, and after waiting for them for a long time, they didn't come, and even the medicine gourd, which never delayed the meal, was gone. The Holy Maiden of Mingyue knew that Tu Qitang went up the mountain to find Liu Ye, and she couldn't eat worriedly, if it wasn't for the poisonous scorpion to stop her, she would have to go out and look for it everywhere.

"Mingyue, don't worry, the children will be fine. Qingling, this girl, has a lot of play, and she doesn't care about the time when she plays. Eighty percent of them have found some new herbs, and they want to pick them back! The poisonous scorpion comforted softly on the side, and poured a cup of freshly brewed camellia for the Mingyue Holy Maiden, "Come, drink some tea, don't think about it, if they don't come back, I'll go out and look for it, I have lived in this mountain for decades, and no one is more familiar with the grass and trees on the mountain than me, and I can find it with my eyes closed." ”

"It's not like they're going to get lost, it's just ......" The Holy Maiden of Mingyue picked up the teacup and took a sip of it, sighing long, "You also know that Ye'er is the princess of the Han Dynasty, and the medicine gourd and the division are all Han Chinese, and they will definitely attract the attention of others if they live here." The war between the Xiongnu and the Han Dynasty has not been decided for hundreds of years, and the Xiongnu court hates to eradicate all the Han royal families. ”

"I know, how could I not know!" The poisonous scorpion continued to comfort, "Although this is the territory of the Huns, it does not mean that there must be danger!" Mingyue, don't you know, no one cares about this mountain and the village at the foot of the mountain, the people in the court think that this place is poor and sour, and the horse bandits who want to go crazy for money also dislike that we have no oil and water to fish here, so they don't want to take a look. ”

"The Xiongnu and the Han Dynasty have been at odds for many years, but this is the mutual hatred between the two courts, to say that the Han people are dangerous in the Xiongnu territory, it is better to say that the Xiongnu people are more worried about their lives in the Han land. The methods of the Xiongnu officers and soldiers and horse bandits were too cruel, and the Han people hated the Huns so much that they gritted their teeth! However, there are not no Huns in Han land, when we escorted the caravan before, didn't you see the Huns living in Han with your own eyes! ”

"Actually, the common people don't have any deep hatred, they all know that the Han and the Huns are at war, but as long as they don't hurt their own families, who will hate others for no reason! If the lives of your own family members are threatened, regardless of whether they are Han or Huns, they are all enemies! I have met a lot of Han Chinese in the Xiongnu over the years, and some Han people who often do business with the Xiongnu are even treated as guests by the locals. There is no one in Akatani Castle, and everyone buys and sells each other to earn some money to support their children, who has the heart to take care of national affairs. ”

The Holy Maiden of Mingyue listened carefully to him and nodded in agreement: "I also know this, since Zhang Qian brought the Han caravan back then, there have been many Han people who have made their home in Chigu City. They traveled back and forth between the Han and Anxi all the year round, and often dealt with the Huns. However, ask Tiantian have you ever thought that Ye'er's identity is different from them. Ye'er is not an ordinary Han person, she is the princess of the Han Dynasty, and not only that, she is also the right lady of Wusun. Her identity alone was enough to make the Hun court eye. In case, if there is a case, alas, I really dare not think about it......"

"Look, you're worrying about it again! Although the identity of the princess will cause disaster, but in this remote mountain, who will know that she is the princess of worry. Those villagers who have never been far away and have never seen the world can only see that she is a Han, but they never dreamed that she would be a princess. You're still afraid that they will tell the court! Having said that, you have never seen a princess living in this kind of place, and she also picks up firewood to cook and boil water, you can't even think of it! ”

The poisonous scorpion patted his chest and assured the Holy Maiden of the Bright Moon: "I dare to guarantee that the princess will not be in danger, this is my territory, with my old scorpion, who dares to come to our territory to spread wild." If there really is such a guy who lives impatiently, I will be the first to kill him, and I will not show mercy. ”

The Holy Maiden of the Bright Moon was amused by him: "Okay, okay, know that this is your territory." I hope I've thought about it too much, and I've gone through so many things, and there shouldn't have been any more accidents. ”

"Well, if you think about it too much, there will be no more changes, you can rest assured." The poisonous scorpion saw her smile, then breathed a sigh of relief, picked up a freshly washed fruit and handed it to her, "Taste it, it's sweet!" ”

Mingyue took the fruit, looked at it in her hand, and said to herself: "I don't know if Tu Qitang has found them, by the way, ask the sky, in the future, we won't call her princess anymore, we will change our name to Ye'er." ”

The poisonous scorpion frowned in embarrassment: "She is your daughter-in-law, it is very appropriate for you to call her Ye'er, but I have nothing to do with her, how can I call her so rude!" Besides, the crooked gourd won't agree, he's going to trouble me again. ”

"Then let me tell him!" The Holy Maiden of Bright Moon felt that it was necessary to change her name, "In short, don't call it like that in the future, it's easy to attract suspicion." ”

"Okay, okay, I won't call her if it's a big deal." The poisonous scorpion picked up the fruit and took a bite, and laughed hehehe, "Mingyue, Mingyue, you are just blessed, your son is filial and her daughter-in-law is well-behaved, I see that she serves you every night to sleep, where can I find such a daughter-in-law!" ”

The Holy Maiden of Mingyue smiled slightly: "Yes, I am very content, and the most important thing is that Tu Qitang likes it, and I will be happy if he is happy." ”

This is true, the company of children is the greatest blessing of parents. Mingyue, I really envy you, I don't know what's wrong with me lately, even the crooked gourd is so jealous, his granddaughter has found such a good grandson-in-law, you see that he is happy, his tail is about to be cocked to the sky, and he is shouting to let them have seven or eight little great-grandchildren, he thinks this is pig breeding, he is really ignorant! ”

Every time the poisonous scorpion remembered the arrogant appearance of the medicine gourd, he suddenly became angry: "What is there to be arrogant, and it is not his own granddaughter, Qingling's girl is the face of a person from the Western Regions at first glance, his big cake face is flat up and down, and he is 108,000 miles away from others, and everyone with long eyes knows that he can't have such a handsome granddaughter." If I had adopted a boy and a girl, I might have embraced my grandson by now. ”

Mingyue looked at him funny: "The old gourd of people is kind enough to adopt Qingling's father and daughter, and now it is also appropriate to enjoy the blessings of children and grandchildren." Why should you harm others! Is that how you want to have a family? ”

"Hmm......" The poisonous scorpion thought for a long time before he said, "I really haven't thought about this before, I always feel that I am very good alone, free and unrestrained, but I have recently found that I am too lonely alone, and I want to find someone who can stay by my side." Hehe, maybe it's because people are old and start thinking cranky, they have been alive for so many years, and it will be time to see Hades in a few years. People, when they come, they are alone, and when they leave, they are originally lonely, where is there so much melancholy! ”

Mingyue lowered her head and pondered for a while: "Wentian, if you don't mind, treat Tu Qitang as a relative, in the future, if he and Ye'er have children, you will treat them as your grandson, isn't it good?" ”

"Mingyue?" The poisonous scorpion's eyes widened with excitement, and the fruit in his hand fell to the ground and rolled to the door, "You, you, is this true?" Will you let me take care of Tu Qitang? ”

The Holy Maiden of Mingyue nodded with a smile, and the poisonous scorpion hurriedly said: "However, the child may not agree, he is so old, he doesn't need to recognize a godfather anymore, how can he look down on me, I'm just a ...... who pours poison."

"Don't be presumptuous, it's a blessing for him to recognize you as a godfather. In this way, when he and Ye'er come back, I told them that if they agree, I will pick a time for you to recognize your relatives. ”

Maybe it's because the Bright Moon Holy Maiden has a much gentler personality recently, maybe it's because the poisonous scorpion is too excited at this time, he grabbed the hand of the Bright Moon Holy Maiden, and looked at her with longing eyes: "Mingyue, what about you, are you willing to let me take care of you?" ”

"Ask the sky, ...... you" The Bright Moon Saintess's eyes darkened, she shook her head with a wry smile, and stroked her chest, "I don't need anyone to take care of me, I and Shengyin will be together forever." ”

The poisonous scorpion slowly let go of her hand and nodded awkwardly: "Yes, yes, you still have the holy sound." I'm sorry I just lost my temper, I just ......"

"Ask God, you and I have known each other for many years, and there is no need to say who is sorry for whom, isn't it good to live quietly like this? I regard you as a confidant, I am willing to accompany you, listen to you and drink tea with you, and be a companion on Huangquan Road in the future! ”

The poisonous scorpion was so moved that he couldn't speak, so he could only nod vigorously: "Okay, great, we are confidants, and as confidants, we can also be together." ”

The Holy Maiden of Mingyue was about to say something to comfort him, but suddenly noticed that someone had walked into the courtyard, and when they approached, she saw that it was Liu Ye, Qingling and the medicine gourd. Immediately, she saw that Liu Ye's body was covered with blood, and she was shocked, and hurriedly jumped up and rushed out.

Seeing this, the poisonous scorpion also chased out, and saw that Liu Ye and Qing Ling's chests were covered with large blood stains, looking haggard, and their hearts trembled. On the other hand, the medicine gourd is very clean from top to bottom, and it looks leisurely and complacent, and it suddenly jumps like thunder.

"You old immortal crooked gourd, you see what use you have, you can't even protect the two female babies." The poisonous scorpion jumped over and poked the chest of the medicine gourd again and again, "You actually have a face to come back, why don't you die outside......"

"Fuck your old scorpion, why are you cursing me to death so much! What did I do, why did I provoke you! I haven't seen you in hours, and you're completely insane! The medicine gourd was scolded and confused.

"You dare to quibble!" The poisonous scorpion grabbed the collar of the medicine gourd and scolded, "You are really not a thing, a fool with no ability, if something happens to them, you don't want to be happy." ”

"They?" The medicine gourd reacted, shook the hand of the poisonous scorpion hard, and desperately explained, "Aren't they fine, they're fine!" ”

"Ye'er, Qingling, what are you ......" The Holy Maiden of Mingyue looked at their expressions as if they had just been injured, and looked at them from head to toe several times, but they didn't see where the wound was, but they didn't understand where so much blood came from.

Liu Ye looked down at the bloody clothes on his body, and explained with a smile: "I just helped the mother deliver the baby, and the blood is also hers." ”

"I see." The Holy Maiden of the Bright Moon breathed a sigh of relief, walked over and patted the poisonous scorpion on the shoulder, "Stop, you misunderstood the old gourd, they went to deliver the baby and were not injured." ”

"Delivery? Who to deliver the baby? The poisonous scorpion was still inexplicable, and patted the head of the medicine gourd, "You old guy, why didn't you say it earlier." ”

"I'll you, did you give me a chance to say it!" The medicine gourd pushed him away, tidied up his clothes, and snorted angrily, "In the afternoon, the daughter-in-law of the old village chief's family had a difficult birth, so she had to pull me to deliver the baby, I have never touched a woman in my life, let alone seen a woman give birth, so I don't want to go!" Who knew that the princess and Ling'er saw us arguing and came over to persuade us, but when they heard that this was the case, they ran to deliver the baby without thinking about it. ”

The medicine gourd also got angry as he spoke, pointing at Liu Ye and Qing Ling: "Princess, don't blame me for committing the following crimes, you rashly delivered a woman with heavy bleeding, have you ever thought about the consequences?" You and Ling'er are inexperienced, and you are not a stable woman, why did you go to deliver babies to others? If there is an accident, the mother unfortunately dies, and the child is not saved, not only will people not be grateful to you, but they will also fight with you in turn! ”

"Hey, you stubborn donkey, why don't you help? They don't have experience, so you're at least a doctor! People are dying in childbirth, and you can also watch indifferent? You've poisoned a few people to the point where you're very good, so why do you have to hide to save people? The scorpion scolded him indignantly.

"It's none of your business, go out of the way! You don't want to live anymore, do you? The medicine gourd was impatiently furious at the poisonous scorpion, and it was about to go to a duel again.

"Grandfather, don't say that, the princess is also eager to save people!" Qing Ling pulled the medicine gourd away, "Isn't it okay now, the children and adults are fine, if it weren't for the princess's quick decision, maybe their mother and son would be in danger." It's you, if you don't save you, I really can't afford to look down on you. ”

"Look down on me? How dare you look down on me, girl? Yao Hulu glared at Qing Ling angrily, "Don't forget, who raised you so big, if you don't obey, forget it, you actually show me your face, and say such things......"

"I haven't forgotten, I remember it clearly, you raised me, you are my grandfather! How could I not listen to you, when did I show you my face? Okay, I know I owe you, I owe you a lifetime, come and eat, I shouted hungry on the way, and now I still have the strength to say so many words, eat quickly, eat ......" Qingling pushed the medicine gourd and walked into the house, the grandparents and grandchildren nagged for a long time, the medicine gourd was indeed more hungry, sat down and picked up the bowl, and was not in the mood to beckon others to eat together, so he buried his head and ate violently.

"This crooked gourd, there are no rules and no distance, and the person who cooks hasn't eaten yet, but he eats it first." The poisonous scorpion snorted disdainfully, "Eat, plug your mouth with rice, and see if you have anything else to say." ”

"Ye'er, let's go back to the room and change clothes first!" The Holy Maiden of Mingyue took Liu Ye's shoulders and sent her back, "Later, if Tu Qitang comes back and sees you like this, he will be frightened." ”

Seeing that Shizhong was also not there, Liu Ye asked, "Did they go up the mountain to find us?" ”

"Yes, you and Qingling haven't shown up for a long time, and I thought you were picking herbs in the mountains, but no one thought that you would go to the village to deliver people." The Holy Maiden of Mingyue and Liu Ye walked into the room, and said, "Don't blame the old gourd for being too talkative, although he loves to nag, he cares about you very much." ”

Liu Ye smiled and nodded: "I know, he said this because he was afraid that we would cause trouble." ”

"That's right, Ye'er, you have a special identity, it's better not to show up easily, people's hearts are separated from their stomachs, you are good to others, and others may not remember your kindness. Although we don't want to get a reward for helping others, we have to guard against others! The Holy Maiden of the Bright Moon explained earnestly.

"I remember, and I will be careful in my words and deeds in the future."

"That's good, you change your clothes and come out to eat, otherwise it's going to be cold."

Seeing the Holy Maiden of Mingyue leave, Liu Ye took off the bloody clothes on his body and found a clean dress to change in the cabinet. After working for so long, she felt like she was going to fall apart, but she was still very happy to see that the mother and son were safe and sound, and all the hard work was worth it.

Liu Ye was thinking about going to see them again tomorrow, the mother's body was too weak, and she didn't know if it would be better to take the pill of the medicinal gourd to nourish qi and blood. She was so preoccupied with her mind that she didn't notice that the door behind her had opened, and a figure was tiptoeing closer.

Tu Qitang and Shizhong came back, listened to the poisonous scorpion explain everything, and finally put their minds at ease. Tu Qitang saw that Liu Ye's room was lit up, so he thought about going to see her. When I walked to the window and saw her changing clothes, I slowed down, quietly pushed the door open, walked behind her, and suddenly hugged her.

"Ah......" Liu Ye exclaimed in surprise, breathing in his familiar breath, then laughed and slapped his arm, "You are so bad, you will scare people......"

"Who told you to worry me so much?" Tu Qitang lowered his head, his hot lips lingering on her delicate snow skin, leaving small plum blossoms around her neck, "If something like this happens in the future, remember to tell me, I thought you were lost in the mountains." ”

"Okay, remember to tell you later, and then pull you to deliver the baby with me." Liu Ye was teased by him and was so hot that he couldn't bear to break free from him, "Don't do this, it's time to eat." ”

"Delivery? How can someone have a baby every time? "I don't mind delivering you a baby, though." ”

Liu Ye turned to face him, blushed with shame, and hit his chest a few times with his clenched little fist, Tu Qitang held her hand and smiled: "What? You don't want to? ”

"Then we'll have to wait until we have it!" Liu Ye hid in his arms and said embarrassedly.

"Well, it looks like I'm going to double down!" Tu Qitang hugged her slender waist and bit her earlobe, "Let's go, go to dinner first, and I'll try my best to please you when I come back." ”

Ignoring Liu Ye's protests, Tu Qitang walked out with her in his arms, leaving bursts of laughter.
