Chapter 442 Fetal Movement
The four words stood out in front of his eyes, and Twelve's throat tightened, knowing that something big must have happened in Yancheng.
"Twelve, what should I do?"
Shen Miaomiao's face was filled with anxiety, and when she thought that Yancheng was thousands of miles away from Kyoto, and that Nanzhi over there was pregnant with Liujia, she felt her head swell.
"Miaomiao, don't worry yet." Twelve hugged his wife into his arms and wiped the tears from her eyes.
"But, but Sister Nanzhi and the others..." Shen Miaomiao became more and more panicked as she thought about it, for fear that something would really happen to them.
She knew Sister Nanzhi's temperament best. She usually kept everything to herself and didn't want them to worry. If she suddenly sent such a letter this time, something big must have happened.
"Miaomiao." Twelve looked serious, looking at his wife who was in a state of confusion in her arms.
He knew that Miaomiao and his sister-in-law had a good relationship, but now they couldn't get into trouble.
Something happened in Yancheng, and he was equally anxious.
The land was depleted and food was running out, so naturally what they had to do was find a way to transport some food there.
"You can't be anxious, you know? Since my sister-in-law has sent a letter, it means something happened in Yancheng. She will tell us, it must be because we can help. If you mess up like this, not only will you not be able to help, If you are busy, you will delay the business."
Twelve sounded serious, just wanting to comfort his wife as soon as possible.
"Yes, I can't be anxious, I can't be anxious." Shen Miaomiao nodded and tried hard to control her emotions.
"Now you need to calm down. I'll ask Dumb to send a letter back to ask about the specific situation. You have people go to the major grain stores in Kyoto to see if they can get some information. If the situation is not right, we will prepare some grain and transport it there. .”
"good."
The couple cleared their thoughts and no longer panicked.
If something big happened in Yancheng, they would have to calm down and make preparations.
On the twentieth day of the twelfth lunar month, there was heavy snow.
The heavy snowflakes covered the lights of thousands of houses in Yancheng, and the bustling market streets and alleys suddenly fell silent, leaving only the big red characters "Fu" on the doors that stood out.
Looking at the returning convoy, Shen Wenchen's eyebrows jumped.
"General, my subordinates are incompetent and only brought back so much food."
Those who came back were the subordinates sent by Shen Wenchen to buy food.
Now his black hair was covered with frost, and his face was even pale.
Behind him were six equally thin government servants and five fully loaded carriages.
These grains are far from enough.
But just looking at their current appearance, Shen Wenchen couldn't say anything to reprimand them.
The world is like this, no one else is to blame.
"It'll be nice to come back." Shen Wenchen put his hand on his shoulder and said in a deep voice.
The disaster over the Ejiang River is more serious than here, so naturally they will not be willing to continue to transport food. It is not easy to buy food now. I am afraid that if it is later, there will be no chance.
Looking at the surprisingly small number of people behind him, his heart became a little heavier.
"It's because my subordinates are incompetent. Tusheng and Zhuzhu are all dead..."
It is said that men never shed tears easily, but when he thought about the brothers who had talked about life and death together and now had no bones left, he couldn't help it.
Tears fell on the ground and froze into ice flowers.
"what happened……"
Shen Wenchen's Adam's apple moved, and it took him a long time to dryly ask four words.
"My subordinates led them to Huaiyang. Although the food there was expensive, they were willing to sell some. It was all good. But on the way back, they met water bandits. The banditry in Huaiyang was serious. After a fight, , they are all gone.”
The dark clouds that covered the moon floated by, and the bright white moonlight fell on the snow, illuminating the surrounding scene.
Some mottled blood stains could still be seen on the carriage, and the bodies of the people kneeling on the ground were all covered in colors.
The night was already cold, and the wind blew by, and you could still see their hands that were black and purple from the cold.
"Go back to the house first."
Shen Wenchen narrowed his eyes and clenched his hands tightly into fists.
Huaiyang...
The twenty-second day of the twelfth lunar month is sunny.
It was rare for the sun to come out, so Mapo carefully helped Nanzhi out of the yard.
Feeling the warm sunshine falling on her face, Nanzhi closed her eyes comfortably.
The weather is so nice today.
It's rare to be able to go out and bask in the sun.
The red plum blossoms in the courtyard were in full bloom, and Mapo felt a little relieved when she saw them.
Madam has been running out all day these days, frowning and thinking about things every day, which is not good for the baby in her belly.
It's rare to have good weather today.
"Ma Po, I have to ask you to help me look after some jade and millet today."
It was approaching the end of the year, and the academy was on holiday. Now that it was cold, she didn't want her two children to run around.
"Madam, let's take a day off today." Mapo noticed her thoughts and sighed.
It's good to care about the people, but if your wife's fetal image is unstable, how can she bear such fatigue?
If you really want to say it yourself, the grain store can be run with shopkeeper Ping and Liu Da, so why does Madam have to go there and guard it all day long?
"The weather is nice today, it's a good time to go out." Nanzhi waved her hands and was about to say something else. She only felt her lower abdomen tighten slightly, and then she felt that the baby in her belly seemed to be waking up and stretching its legs, and she suddenly looked surprised.
This, this, is the baby in your belly moving?
Seeing the change in her expression, Mapo thought it was because her stomach hurt again, so she hurried forward to help her.
"Madam, are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
"I feel like, he, he just moved."
Nanzhi looked surprised, and placed her hands gently on her swollen belly, looking forward to the second movement of the child in her belly.
As if sensing her mother's expectation, the baby in her belly moved slightly again.
Upon noticing his change, the joy in Nanzhi's heart almost overflowed.
"Madam, please go back to the house and rest for a while. I will send someone to tell the master the good news."
Mapo was naturally happy. They said that the first three months of pregnancy would be good for her, but since she came to the house, her health has not recovered.
At first, I would vomit everything I ate. When the vomiting was the worst, I could spit out the bile with a sip of water. Later, although I stopped vomiting, I still couldn't eat anything every day.
Afraid that Madam would be worried, she had never mentioned the fetal movement. Now, suddenly, it meant that the child in Madam's belly was healthy and not as weak as she thought.
"No, I'll tell him myself." Nanzhi shook his head, with deep joy on his face.
This is the best news in recent times.
Not only was Mapo afraid, she was also worried about the child in her belly.
She does not belong to this world, what about the child in her belly?
She was afraid that the plot would hurt him, so she had never dared to go out before and was willing to hide in the house.
But it was different now. The baby in her belly was healthy. She wanted to tell Shen Wenchen about this and feel the baby's vitality with him.
