Chapter 514 Childbirth
The black figure lay on the wall and found a higher position, carefully observing everything in the house.
The two old hens clucked twice and paced back and forth with their beady eyes narrowed.
After confirming that they didn't recognize the person, they screamed at the top of their lungs as if someone had plucked their feathers.
The hen's voice is not as loud as that of the rooster, but it is also shriller.
No one expected that they would make such a move. The man lying on the wall was dumbfounded by the two hens. When he heard the sound of someone running towards this side, he gritted his teeth and lowered his body lower. some.
"What happened?"
It was Orange Moon who came running.
Since he had taken good care of Nanzhi for a few days, and Sun Cui was about to give birth, Nanzhi simply let her live here.
On weekdays, she just helped pour water. Seeing that she was bored, Mother Lin liked her very much, so she often chatted with her about the past.
She knew the abilities of these two old hens, and she usually paid more attention to them than other servants.
There are no poultry in the city for a long time. Even the city lord's mansion only has the cured meats and sausages that he stocked up years ago. Recently, the fresh meat in the mansion has only been supported by the eggs laid by these two old hens. .
Sun Cui's morning sickness has not been serious in the past ten months, but as she is about to give birth, her appetite is getting worse day by day. The two old hens in the house can still lay four or five eggs a day, so they are steamed and tenderized. Eat tender egg custard.
If something happened to the two old hens, it would be a really big problem.
Seeing Cheng Yue approaching, the two old hens stopped making some noises. Although their cries became weaker, they did not stop.
After looking around, there was still food in the food bowl and the sink was still full. Cheng Yue was stunned at that time.
There are all these, what are they called?
Seeing that she didn't respond, a chicken hurriedly stretched its neck and called twice in the direction where the black figure was hiding just now, and stretched out its paws to scratch. Only then did Cheng Yue seem to understand, and turned around with doubts. .
It’s not what they want to say to themselves, right?
Going in the direction, Cheng Yue only saw a place on the eaves that was higher than the surrounding area. When he looked over again, the black shadow seemed to have moved.
"Someone come and catch the thief!"
Although Cheng Yue is a bit silly on weekdays, her voice is first-rate.
Those who were not attracted by the rooster crow just now were called over by her voice.
"Where is the thief! Where is the thief!"
"Something is missing!"
The servants hurried over with sticks in their hands, only to see a silhouette sneaking into the night.
"Over there, there was someone just hanging on the eaves! He was sneaky!"
Cheng Yue's face turned pale, and she didn't know whether it was because of the cold or fear. Mapo followed and saw that she was not wearing a coat, so she only took off her own clothes and put them on her shoulders.
Shen Wenchen went up to the eaves, and only two footprints and a rag were left where the person had been hiding.
The man took advantage of the cover of night and fled toward the north of the city. If he hadn't reacted in time to tear off the piece of fabric, he might have been caught!
Recalling the way his clothes had been caught just now, he only felt angry.
This Yancheng is really annoying everywhere!
Along the way I ran into several patrols, and was almost discovered twice.
After finally escaping back to the empty house where he was hiding, he breathed a sigh of relief and lay down to rest.
This time I must file a complaint when I go back!
Nanzhi felt sleepy, and the sound of Shen Wenchen getting up also woke her up.
Seeing him looking not so good, Nanzhi felt a little nervous.
Could it be that something serious happened?
"What happened?"
Nanzhi wanted to get up and change his clothes, but was stopped by Shen Wenchen.
"A man broke in and hid on the eaves, but the two chickens saw him, so he kept calling and luring a girl over."
"Is he okay?"
Nanzhi said worriedly.
Now there is no one else living in this courtyard except Cheng Yue.
Although that girl is a bit naive, she learns things quickly and moves deftly. She is really pretty good.
Much better than that Qinglian.
"It's okay, that girl has a loud voice, she yelled and everyone passed by. That person was also unlucky, the corner of his clothes got caught. We only picked up a piece of rag when we passed by."
Shen Wenchen took off his coat and warmed his hands in front of the hot tub to make sure they were not cold anymore, then he shrank into the quilt and hugged Nanzhi.
"As long as she's fine. That girl is fine."
Nanzhi nodded and rested his head on Shen Wenchen's arm.
"Go to sleep quickly."
"good."
Just as the sky was getting bright, another scream came from the City Lord's Mansion.
This time it was not Cheng Yue, but Lin Ercheng.
Sun Cui's amniotic water broke!
Sun Cui, who had given birth to a child once, was very calm.
But Lin Ercheng was no longer calm.
He knows that women have a hard time giving birth.
But seeing his wife in pain with big beads of sweat on her forehead and clenching her molars to make no sound, Lin Ercheng panicked.
"What to do? What to do? What to do--"
A tall, strong man looked as flustered as a toddler.
"You, go, please, ask Mapo to come over."
The contractions were so painful that Sun Cui never relaxed her brows.
But in order to save some strength during the birth, she gritted her teeth and reminded her word by word.
"I'm going right now, I'm going right now!"
Lin Ercheng hurried out of the room.
I just happened to meet Cheng Yue who was rushing here.
"Quick, quick, get someone ready!"
"yes!"
Because Sun Cui was about to give birth, there had been rehearsals in the house in the past few days, and the hot water in the kitchen was boiling all day long, so she was afraid that it would have to be hot when the time came.
In less than half a quarter of an hour, Lin Ercheng led Mapo over in a hurry, followed by the rest of the Lin family.
"All men, get out, get out and wait outside!"
Mapo drove the people away and took Mother Lin and Chen Qiulan into the house.
"Tui'er, hurry up and eat some eggs. You'll feel strong soon."
Mother Lin felt sorry for her daughter-in-law. Sugar-watered eggs happened to be delivered to her from the kitchen, and she hurriedly brought them over to feed them.
Sun Cui nodded, but the pain in her abdomen made her unable to even open her mouth.
The contractions finally stopped, and she quickly ate two mouthfuls of eggs, and then she swallowed the whole bowl of sugar-watered eggs when the pain stopped.
No matter how much she could bear it, the pain intensified step by step, so she still shouted out.
"Good boy, be patient and save some strength."
Mapo comforted Sun Cui, and her men never stopped moving.
"It's coming soon, it's coming soon, just be patient!"
Seeing the basins of blood being carried out of the room, Lin Ercheng's face had lost all color.
"Twenty percent, it's okay. Just feel at ease."
Seeing that his brother was only wearing a single coat, Lin Yicheng sighed and handed over his coat.
"Why hasn't it been born yet?"
Lin Ercheng's eyes were fixed on the door, but he was already worried.
Nanzhi leaned closely against Shen Wenchen, feeling no less worried than Lin Ercheng.
A woman's childbirth is a journey through hell, and the conditions in ancient times were so poor that it would be false to say she wasn't worried.
