Ever since she found out she was pregnant, Mu Qing has resumed the habit of calculating her days. But because I was a little confused at the beginning of last winter and I couldn't tell the exact date of menopause, I can't accurately estimate how many days are left until my 28-day pregnancy is over. I just think it won't be more than half a month.
She remembered that last year she and Li Mang left the settlement and came here. Because they traveled day and night, it took them seven days. Even if he traveled day and night this time and shortened the date by half, arriving in three or four days, and then picking up the flower without delay, it would still take about ten days. What if I suddenly give birth in ten days here, and Li Mang won't even be around? Wouldn't that be terrible?
Thinking of this, Mu Qing's excitement was dispelled, and she told him her thoughts in frustration.
"It's better not to go."
She made a decision for Li Mang who was hesitant after hearing her words.
"But..." Li Mang rolled over from the mat and sat up, looking down at her, looking a little uneasy, "I blame me for not thinking of it earlier..."
Mu Qing raised her hand and stroked his face gently, and said with a smile: "Nado is very busy and may not be able to come out... Our child will definitely come out obediently, I will do it. Besides, don't we still have you? ?"
Li Mang took her hand and leaned over her bulging belly, putting his face against her belly.
As if she felt the **** coming from the mother's body, Mu Qing suddenly felt the fetus move, as if something was pressing against her belly, pushing up her belly and then sliding over.
This feeling is very strange, she has always liked it, and felt that it was the first communication between their children and her.
Li Mang also felt it and looked up at her in surprise.
"That's our child greeting you..."
She said with a smile.
Li Mang immediately laughed, his eyes shining.
He must be eager to be a father now. At this moment, she suddenly felt that all her previous anxieties and worries seemed to slowly disappear, and a longing for life to come between her and him slowly grew in her heart.
"Li Mang, do you want our first child to be a boy or a girl?"
Mu Qing pulled him to lie down again, rested her head on his shoulder, and asked softly.
Li Mang thought for a moment and seemed a little embarrassed. Mu Qing asked, and after a long time he said in a whisper: "I like them all..., if it is a girl, she can give birth to many children for our tribe in the future, if it is a boy, , I will take him hunting in the future, and he can also protect his younger brothers and sisters..."
Mu Qing couldn't help but laugh, and reached out to pinch his ears: "Girls are only for giving birth to children?"
Li Mang chuckled but couldn't say a word.
Reproduction and survival are two crucial things for modern humans. So when Li Mang was pressed by her, she answered like this. She didn't intend to teach him that women are not fertility machines, but she just slightly twisted his ears as a joke.
"By the way, I have already figured out our child's name. Can you listen to it?"
Li Mang suddenly turned over, looked at her and said seriously.
Mu Qing smiled and asked him to come and listen.
"As a girl, it's called Taimo. After the rain, the sun always hangs opposite the clouds. It's so beautiful, just like you. As a boy, it's called Anida. Its power can even tear the sky apart."
After Li Mang finished speaking, he looked at Mu Qing expectantly, waiting for her opinion.
Taimo, rainbow. Anida, lightning.
Li Mang likes the child too much that he has not yet met, so even the name will be compared to the mysterious natural phenomenon in the sky in his mind.
Rainbow, lightning.
Mu Qing read it again and nodded towards him. According to their practice, children are named by their fathers.
Li Mang smiled and looked very lively.
Early the next morning, Mu Qing woke up to the sound of birds chirping. He stood on the balcony of his house and watched the stream flowing happily through the wall of the house, passing through thousands of branches and leaves and filtering through the morning light. He took a deep breath, stretched his waist lazily, moved his limbs, and waited for breakfast. Li Mang said that he would cook potato soup with honey and goat's milk for her in the morning.
After breakfast, she habitually went to the chicken and poultry fence to collect eggs, add fodder to the sheep, sweep away the feces, collect them and bury them in the soil. These can be used as fertilizer after retting. Half a year has passed, and the animals, who were restless at first, are now somewhat accustomed to living in captivity. The two lambs can even be let out to graze on their own, and they will surely return to their mother obediently at dusk.
She had always paid attention to the right amount of work in order to ensure a smooth delivery, and she took care of things like this every day. In addition, she had been very careful about her diet in the past few months, so as long as she persisted in the next few days, she thought she should be fine.
After finishing these things, she felt a little sweaty. From a distance, I saw Li Mang sitting on the ground polishing the ground with a stone hoe. Just as he was about to walk over, he suddenly heard a faint shout coming from the direction of Taniguchi.
Someone broke in!
Li Mang had already put down what he was doing, picked up the weapon at hand, gestured to Mu Qing to tell her not to go there, and immediately headed towards the mouth of the valley.
This was the first time in nearly a year since she and Li Mang left the settlement that an outsider appeared in their lives.
I don’t know who is coming. Mu Qing was a little nervous. She really wanted to go over and see what was going on, but she was afraid that Li Mang couldn't handle it alone. But she found herself with a big belly. If she had bad intentions, she could only add more burden to Li Mang in the past, so she finally suppressed her uneasiness and hurried back to the house, went up the stairs and stood on the balcony to look out.
The terrace is higher than the wall, and she can see the road towards the valley entrance.
The whistle tied to her chest bumped against her, and she suddenly thought of Xiao Hei, and her heart moved.
Could it be that the intruder met Xiao Hei head-on, so he made such a shout? Otherwise, why would you shout loudly for no reason?
This made her feel a little calmer.
One-year-old Xiao Hei is already tall and strong. If he stands up straight on his hind legs, he has even jumped up to Li Mang's chest level. With it and Limang together, it should be difficult for ordinary people to get close.
Mu Qing was guessing that several figures had appeared in her eyes.
Xiao Hei ran forward, stopping from time to time, turning his head and roaring back a few times as if threatening. Li Mang was followed behind, and he seemed to be smiling happily. Around him...
Mu Qing was stunned.
It turned out to be Youyou's father and Huya, and Youyou was being held by her father. While looking at Xiao Hei with some fear, she kept looking around, with a look of surprise and curiosity on her face.
Isn’t Tiger Teeth dead? And why did they come here? They actually brought Youyou with them!
After a brief shock, Mu Qing turned around and ran downstairs.
Mu Qing ran out of the yard and shouted Youyou's name. Yuyou immediately saw her, cheered, twisted out of her father's arms, waved and ran towards her.
She still has a slight limp in her feet, which is obvious when she runs. But the smile on her face was brighter than any flower.
Mu Qing took a few steps forward and opened his hands to greet her.
Xiao Hei saw the hostess opening her hands with a smile on her face, thinking she was greeting him. After being ignored for several months, her hurt soul suddenly felt relieved. She let out a low growl and rushed towards her suddenly.
It also remembers that she used to play this kind of face-licking game with her mistress. She was always very happy, dodging its tongue and giggling until she was picked up and thrown aside by her mistress. When he saw her greeting him, he only wanted to please her, but he didn't know that he was already as tall as her when he stood straight, not to mention she was pregnant.
Forgive it. Xiao Heishi is so eager to relive the beautiful mistress Yuan Meng.
Then an accident happened.
Xiao Hei swung his head and passed Youyou, and jumped towards Mu Qing. Mu Qing was unable to dodge and was thrown to the ground.
After reacting, Li Mang came over with a few strides, picked up Wuzi Xiaohei and threw him aside, slowly helped Mu Qing up, looked at her anxiously and asked, "Are you okay?"
Mu Qing was caught off guard just now, and was so frightened by Xiao Hei's actions that his face turned pale. Now he was helped to sit up from the ground. Except for some pain in his buttocks, everything else was fine. Afraid that Li Mang would be worried, he hurriedly shook his head to express that it was okay.
Li Mang tried to get closer to Xiao Hei again and scolded him. Xiao Hei then lowered his head and whined a few times. He squatted on the roadside and watched the hostess being picked up by the annoying male host. Go to the house.
Mu Qing turned around and saw Yuyou standing there in shock after being frightened, and smiled at her. Only then did Youyou avoid Xiao Hei and hurriedly followed.
In the evening, they killed two pheasants, caught fish, and cooked a jar full of rice to entertain the guests.
Both Youyou and the two adults showed great interest in everything in their valley. They have houses, raise various animals, grow various vegetables in the fields, and have fishing nets and so on. Everything is so fresh. The whole day, they could only hear Li Mang's laughter as he kept introducing them and Youyou running and jumping.
From their mouths, Mu Qing gradually learned some things about the tribe.
After they left, Iga and Tulu fought for the leadership position for some time. One day, the Gangtu tribe suddenly attacked again for revenge, but they were repelled by the well-prepared tribesmen. A prisoner confessed that Tulu had secretly colluded with Gangtu last time, and then he learned about Dawu's whereabouts and kidnapped him. . Anyone who rebels against the leader can only be stoned to death, even if he is a son of Dawu. But on the eve of the execution, Tulu escaped and went to nowhere. Yijia became Dawu, and of course he and his ex-Dawu's daughter Yaoyao were together.
"Dawu came to me some time ago and said he missed you very much. He asked us to search everywhere at first, and then said that there was a valley at the break along the river, and he said that you might come to this place and asked us to come over. Take a look. So Huya and I came here. Youyou knew that I was going to find you, so I insisted on following you. I couldn't defeat her, so I brought her here."
Youyou's father said this.
Li Mang smiled, and then looked at Huya. The two said nothing, but they patted each other on the shoulders and laughed heartily.
On the day of the incident, Mu Qing sniffed the tiger's teeth and thought he was dead. But in fact, he was not dead, but his breathing was too weak and she was too flustered to notice it.
"It's just that some of my intestines leaked out, and I stuffed it back and it healed up again. Now, apart from eating too much and my stomach will be bloated, I can still kill the tiger. But your cooking is so delicious, I will die of bloat even if I try too hard." You have to eat enough first!"
While chewing the meat, Tiger Teeth smiled at Mu Qing.
Although people of this era did not have the same medical conditions as her later generations, and their average life span was also short, their tenacity to survive sometimes really impressed her. Non-metallic backward weapons probably saved his life to a certain extent.
Because he was afraid that they would not be used to salty food, Mu Qing only added a small amount of salt when cooking. Although it's not as good as Limang when I first tried it, I don't seem to be resistant to the taste. When Li Mang said that this taste could replace the animal blood they often drank before, they seemed a little unconvinced. But when Mu Qing also confirmed it seriously, although Yuyou's father was fine, Huya immediately asked to take some with him when he went back. Mu Qing naturally agreed.
He, like Li Mang, is a real man.
At night, the three men went to sleep in the cave arm in arm. Mu Qing took Youyou to sleep in his room.
The author has something to say: cute little bullies have surfaced one after another...haha, I'm very happy.
Thank you everyone.
