Chapter 3 The Nan Couple

Nan Xiangtian and his wife Nan are a pair of hunters at the foot of Sunset Mountain, they are honest, kind, good neighbors, and have lived at the foot of Sunset Mountain for generations, making a living by hunting.

Mr. and Mrs. Nan are over 40 years old, but they still have no children.

Nan's infertility was ashamed, and he instructed his husband to take another concubine to continue the incense for the Nan family, but Nan Xiangtian didn't want to make his wife sad, so he didn't agree, and the status quo has been maintained to this day.

At this time, Nan was sitting in front of the bronze mirror, her husband had gone out hunting and had not returned, and now she was the only one in the house.

I saw Nan's bony body, wrapped in a few thin clothes, and the ordinary coarse clothes and cloth showed a different kind of beauty on her. The delicate face and thin cheeks all reproduce the beautiful face of her youth.

Their dwellings are extremely simple, even rudimentary.

The bedroom and the hall are connected. The bedroom has a simple stone bed and tattered curtains on both sides, and in the hall there is a dining table with clay pots and chopsticks for food, and a stove for cooking is just outside the door.

It can be said that the ring is blocked and depressed, and it does not cover the wind and the day; the short brown wears the knot, and the scoop is repeatedly empty! It is not an exaggeration!

A bronze mirror is almost the only piece of furniture under this thatched hut.

This is what Nan Xiangtian bought by taking the ferret fur he caught in the mountains to the market outside the mountain, for which he almost paid with his life. When Nan learned about it, he was very angry and blamed him while checking his husband's body until he was sure that his husband was not injured.

"If you have an accident, how can I live alone? Fortunately, you came back safe and sound. Nan buried her head in her husband's arms, feeling extra warm.

She felt very satisfied that her husband was able to do this for herself, and it was enough to be able to snuggle up to such a man in this life!

"Don't say such stupid things. Nanxiang Tianmu was tender, caressing his wife's soft hair while comforting.

......

Nan Du looked at himself in the bronze mirror, recalling all kinds of things in the past, and while he was moved, he couldn't help but have a sad face and tears.

"He loves me so much, and I can't continue the blood for him, why do I make me so beautiful? I'd rather trade this look for a child. ”

Nan sighed for a long time, pulled up the corner of his clothes and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes.

At this moment, Nan Xiangtian returned from hunting, he threw the hunted coyote to the ground, stood behind the door, hung the bow on the wall, and said in a rough voice: "Child, mother, I'm back." ”

For many years, they have not had children, but Nan Xiangtian is used to calling his wife like this, whenever he hears this, Nan's confidence is greatly increased, but what is left for her is more moved.

"Xiangtian, I'm back so early today, what a strong coyote, fortunately you didn't encounter any danger. Nan looked at the ferocious coyote on the ground and said worriedly.

"Don't worry, a coyote, you can't help me!" Nan Xiangtian clapped his chest with a tinkling sound, reassuring his wife.

"Hey, what's in your arms?" Nan asked, getting up. His gaze did not leave Nan Xiangtian's arm.

"I'm about to explain this to you, but I don't know where to start, I hope you don't blame me!" Nan Xiangtian's face looked very unnatural, and he didn't dare to face his wife's questioning gaze, like a child who had done something wrong.

"Fool, how could I blame you? "In view of her husband's strange behavior today, it seems unusual for Nan to realize that this matter is unusual.

"It was a kid I picked up on my way to hunting, and I ...... intends to adopt him as a adopted son. I hope you understand what I mean. Nan Xiangtian almost trembled.

He did not dare to look his wife in the eyes, lest it would prick her weak heart. After all, it was an unspeakable scar between them.

However, the scene imagined by Nan Xiangtian did not appear.

"It turned out to be a baby, and a baby boy. Nan opened the leopard skin and saw a baby with congealed skin.

At this moment, Nan's heart was already unspeakably excited, the child she was looking forward to day and night, this matter actually existed.

Although it is not her biological flesh and blood, all she hopes for is a child.

What she is looking forward to is to give her husband a hope to continue the incense.

That's all, nothing more!

This is also her wish as a woman.

Undoubtedly, the arrival of the baby boy will make this love more complete and fill the family with color.

"I didn't ask you for your opinion on this matter first, I was selfish. Nan Xiangtian is still deeply blaming himself.

"Fool, why are you wrong? On the contrary, I should thank you for making such a correct decision for me. ”

"Are you really willing to accept him? really don't blame me?"

"I believe that all this is the will of God, is it the mercy of God?" Nan was already excited and burst into tears: "He has brought new hope to our family! This is a gift from God to us. ”

"Do you really think so?" Nan Xiangtian looked at his wife's happy appearance, and finally let go of the stone that was pressing on his heart. Swept away his previous worries, and instead looked at the boy carefully.

I saw the baby boy's fat little face, flushed with red and dusk, which made people feel cute. The most fatal thing is that the baby boy who woke up at some point did not cry, but waved his fat little hands to the couple and laughed "hehe".

"Look, he's waving at us and smiling at us!" Nan said in amazement.

It seems that the baby boy is familiar with them.

Although it was the first day we met, there was a feeling in my heart that I couldn't tell.

For a while, the Nan couple were both immersed in the joy of having a precious son.

......

The days passed day after day, no matter spring, summer, autumn or winter, Nan Xiangtian insisted on going up the mountain to hunt every day, and the livelihood of his family fell on him alone.

He has no complaints about this, and his life is more fulfilling than before.

In terms of life, the south faces God outside, and the south family is inside, responsible for household affairs and housekeeping. Of course, taking care of the baby boy is also Nan's.

However, the Nan family did not become happy because of the addition of a boy, on the contrary, the two were sad all day long.

The baby boy fell into a deep sleep mysteriously, and after several days passed, there was no sign of waking up, and the Nan couple were in a panic.

The couple were afraid that the baby boy would die, and they visited famous doctors in the vicinity, but they could not find out where the cause began.

In view of the baby's bizarre life experience, for fear of causing an unwarranted disaster, they did not dare to speak too loudly, and even stopped seeking medical advice, so they could only stay quietly by the baby's bedside and pray for him to wake up as soon as possible.

Although the baby boy did not eat or drink, he showed no signs of life failure, but his face became more and more ruddy.

Seeing this, the Nan couple's hearts calmed down a little, although they were full of doubts, but the child was still alive, which was already their greatest comfort.
