Chapter 431: soon to be born
Chapter 431 is about to give birth
Since the fishing village repelled the pirates and successfully defended its homeland, other fishing villages have come to see it.
It is not accurate to say that they were repelled. After all, the pirates were either killed or captured. There is no such thing as retreat. Of course, this is not all due to the villagers, it is the officers and soldiers stationed at the beach and Su Gonggong's guards who joined forces to clean up this group of pirates.
However, even without them, the fishing village can still be defended by relying on Wubao. Although the pirates can't be killed, the pirates don't want to attack the village either. After all, there is food and drink in the village, and if you are tired, you can change people to take a rest. The pirates had no supplies and did not dare to stay on the shore for long.
The coastline is very long, and there are many large and small fishing villages. Not every fishing village has built a dock, only the fishing villages that are closest to the sea have them. The reason is that they are still too poor, so they can only focus on the few fishing villages on the edge first. After all, as long as the pirates go ashore, they will bear the brunt.
The villagers in the fishing village received the silver rewards, and according to the instructions of the village head, they bought food, cloth, etc. and a lot of daily necessities.
When the villagers from other fishing villages came, what they saw was the scene of them happily sharing things... It is obvious that this village has been attacked by pirates, but they are all envious. What's the matter?
The fishing village that did not build a dock was worried, and pulled the village head to inquire about the procedures for applying for the construction of a dock.
Several other people who also built docks also dragged the village chief, asking about the details of the fight with the pirates.
The village chief...
It was almost split in half, but he was very popular, and it was the first time he was so popular.
Wen Jiuxiao is also in a good mood. He has captured more than a hundred pirates, has achieved political achievements, and has people who work.
The third leader of the pirate was not in such a good mood. He sent more than a hundred people to kill the imperial envoy. He also heard the news beforehand and knew that there were not many people around him, but he missed.
It’s fine if you miss it. At least some people come back, but as soon as these more than a hundred people landed, they disappeared like mud into the sea.
"Trash, it's all trash." Zhang Bowen felt a little regretful about coming to the sea. There was no one in the city who could hold down the county government, and everyone who landed on the shore would be separated. Just such a bag of wine and food is worse than his brothers in Menghuzhai. In the past, How did the bad name get out?
Zhang Bowen took a deep breath, suppressing the rage that wanted to kill someone.
Oh, it’s not that one didn’t reply, but one came back.
This person had a bad stomach, and went to find a place to solve the problem as soon as he landed. When he came back, the others had gone far, so he had to chase after him. He didn't catch up, but just saw the officers and soldiers approaching. He was so frightened that he quickly hid and fell far behind. After watching the whole battle, he didn't dare to show his face.
It wasn't until the officers and soldiers had left that he fled back to sea.
"Why did you just meet officers and soldiers? Are you sure there are hundreds of them?" Zhang Bowen looked at the people kneeling on the ground.
"The little ones don't know why there are officers and soldiers, there were none before." They went ashore many times, but never encountered officers and soldiers. Those villagers were like little chickens, their legs were limp when they saw them, and they let them be slaughtered.
"Three masters, the little one really didn't lie, there were really hundreds of people, and they were so vast that they couldn't see the end. Everyone had weapons in their hands, oh, by the way, they also wore armor. The little one didn't dare to look more , I didn’t see if everyone wore armor, but the first few did.”
"Armor-piercing? Are you sure you read it right?" Zhang Bowen's eyes sharpened, and the worst pair of armor would cost several taels of silver.
"The little one is right, the armor reflects light under the sun, it is dazzling from a long distance."
There is still armor? Zhang Bowen's pupils shrank, his expression became more gloomy, his face was as black as ink, "It's a good way to have a surname." This sentence was almost squeezed out from between his teeth.
Less than a year after taking office, he can get hundreds of officers and soldiers to garrison the seaside. Where did he recruit so many people? To raise so many soldiers, and to equip them with weapons... Hehe, this surname Wen is really generous!
Officers and soldiers, right? Wubao, right? Zhang Bowen laughed back in anger, time is still long, he has a lot of patience, and it is not certain who will win.
smell! Nine! Xiao!
Zhang Bowen held the teacup in his hand and broke off a piece.
The man kneeling on the ground was already frightened and turned into mud, Zhang Bowen's eyes flashed with disgust, and he ordered: "Drag out."
Immediately, two people came in from the outside, saluted Zhang Bowen, "Third Master." Then dragged the people on the ground and went out.
Time is like a burning thread, several months have passed in a blink of an eye, Yu Zhi's belly has been more than eight months old, her arms and legs are still slender, and her belly looks surprisingly big.
She didn't feel it herself, she was still walking fast, but Wen Jiuxiao was terrified every time she saw it, wishing she could ignore her official duties and just follow her every day.
Yu Zhi waved his hand and pushed him away, "Let's go, let's go, it's still too early to die, I'm nervous with you standing here."
Wen Jiuxiao carefully supported her to sit down, without even thinking about it, "It's getting late." She will give birth next month, and there is less than a month left. How can one be sure about a woman giving birth? If it was earlier... the more he thought about it, the more anxious he became. "Is everything ready? When will Wen Po live in?"
I don't know how many times he asked this. Men in this era rarely ask about women's childbirth, but Wen Jiuxiao doesn't. From the day Yu Zhi became pregnant, he remembers the days better than Yu Zhi. Not only did he know all about taboos, edema in the late pregnancy, leg cramps, etc., but he also dealt with them skillfully.
How many times has this been asked? Yu Zhi's ears were calloused, he pursed his lips and did not speak.
Jiang's mother laughed, "Go back to the third master, I'm ready, everything is ready." The bedding for the young lady's delivery, the clothes for the young master...even several recipes for the young lady to build up her strength. , "Mrs. Wen has invited four, and they can live in the mansion at any time. Oh, the doctor has also agreed that we have one in our mansion, and we have invited a highly respected man in the city. On the day of the young lady's delivery, two Everyone will come to sit in town."
The third master cares about the young lady, it means that the young lady is valued, and the young lady is loved by the husband, and they are also happy as slaves.
Wen Jiuxiao hummed, and said: "Wen Po, let them live in the mansion tomorrow, and at any time, we must ensure that there are two Wen Po in the mansion."
"Yes, this old slave will arrange for someone to pass on the message." Mother Jiang happily withdrew.
Yu Zhi felt awkward, "Isn't it four too many women?" When she thought of the four women watching her give birth, she felt very uncomfortable.
"Not much, you are the most important." Wen Jiuxiao held her hand and pulled her into his arms.
Yu Zhi subconsciously wanted to refute, but swallowed the words again, because she found that something was wrong with Wen Jiuxiao. I don't know when, his brows are filled with anxiety. Sometimes when she wakes up in the middle of the night, she will always hear him asking "what's the matter?" She thought she woke him up, but now that she thinks about it, maybe he wasn't Just woke up, but didn't fall asleep at all.
Yu Zhi thought it was just that he had never seen a woman close to her get pregnant, and that it would be all right in a while. Unexpectedly, with the bulging of her belly, not only did his anxiety not disappear, but it became more serious. The concrete manifestation is that he comes back from the front office to see her every half an hour. Of course, he always has various excuses.
Yu Zhi is so smart, she really wanted to ask "what are you afraid of", and then thought of the calmness he tried his best in front of her, she sighed in her heart, and snuggled into his arms.
I hope the time passes quickly, hurry up and unload the goods.
She was really afraid that the child's father would push herself hard, and the stretched string would break.
