The ancient life of a master craftsman

In the end, Brother Qing didn't remember who the old woman at the foot of the slope was. He just felt familiar, uncomfortably familiar, and quietly wrote it down in his heart. Beautiful flowers like butterflies.

As the days passed, it was the end of June.The weather in June is really like what Yunli said, with more rain and less sunshine.

It was another day of heavy rain, and Yunhe planned to go to the town to invite a doctor home. Mu's due date is only two days away, and the closer it gets to this day, the more frightened he is. After earning some money from work, he thought about asking a doctor to go home with him, so that he could feel at ease.

"Mother, I'm going to the town. When the third aunt comes over later, you open the door." Yunhe put on his coir raincoat and hurried into the rain.

Due to the bad weather and the imminent delivery of her sister-in-law, Yunli did not go out to sell her goods today, but packed them up at home. Porridge.

Then put away all the dirty clothes, wait for the weather to clear up before washing them, and check whether there is any water in the chicken coop, he was busy on his own, and didn't notice that Mrs. Bai was staring at him for a long time time.

Unfortunately, before Yunhe came back, the Mu family started to activate. The midwife came into the room and saw that the birth canal hadn't opened yet, so she said it was still early and told Mu family to eat and drink to conserve energy.

Yunli sent the hot porridge to the door of the delivery room, but he couldn't go in, so he had to pass it to the midwife, "Third Aunt, tell me what else you need!"

The midwife closed the door tightly, "It's nothing to do now, you can rest for a while, you will be busy later."

After hearing what the midwife said, Yunli was worried that she would be too busy for a while, so she went to eat the rice too. He made a lot of porridge, so he planned to drink some porridge, and just made up for it with yellow noodle pancakes.

"Father, mother, it's time to eat." He greeted, but did not move to the main room, the family of three ate a makeshift meal in the kitchen, and Yunli brought the meal to the delivery room for the midwife.

Then he waited anxiously. Seeing that the time was getting longer and longer, and Yunhe might be coming back, Bai became inexplicably irritable and kept looking out the door.

Old man Yun thought she was looking at whether Yun He had returned, so he didn't think much about it. After a while, Mrs. Bai saw a man in coir raincoat passing by the door, and his eyes lit up.

After getting into the kitchen for a while, he ran out in a panic, "It's not good, it's not good."

Old man Yun lowered his face, "What nonsense are you talking about? Don't shout!"

Bai Shi was so frightened that she immediately stopped talking, and then muttered in a low voice, "The brown sugar at home is gone, if my daughter-in-law..."

Yunli hurried to the kitchen to look. How could he not have the brown sugar he bought a few days ago?As a result, he searched the kitchen and found no trace of brown sugar, and now he panicked.

"Father, why did our brown sugar disappear?" Yunli didn't dare to shout, for fear of affecting her sister-in-law's delivery, but the panic on her face was obvious.

Old man Yun also wondered, he saw Lizi put a bag of brown sugar in the kitchen with his own eyes, but now he said it was gone?But he didn't panic like Baishi and Yunli, "Lizi, put on your coir raincoat and go to Brother Qing's house to ask if there is any brown sugar, and borrow some first."

Yunli responded, put on her coir raincoat and ran out. His house and Brother Qing's are neighbors, and she came back after a while, "Father, Brother Qing's house doesn't have brown sugar. I'll go to Brother Li's house to ask. His family should And sugar."

It was raining and the road was full of mud. Old man Yun didn't want his little brother to run outside, and the candy was not necessary, so he just said forget it and wait for Yunhe to come back.

But Bai quickly answered, "Then why don't you go quickly? What if your sister-in-law needs it soon?!"

Generally, brown sugar water is used only when the delivery is not going well. When she said this, both Yunli and his son changed their faces. I'd better go there, and ask for peace of mind if I don't need it."

The old man Yun thought about it, it was better to be prepared than nothing, so he let him go, Yunli rushed into the rain again, the pouring rain covered his sight, and soon he could not see Yunli.

Bai cocked her feet and watched for a while, a strange smile appeared on her face involuntarily, fearing that Old Man Yun would find out that something was wrong, so she hid in the kitchen, "I'll go and watch the stove."

Old man Yun stayed in the main room alone, and for some reason, he always felt uneasy in his heart.

"Father, I'm back." Yunhe entered the main room, followed by an old doctor, "This is Doctor Lin from Le Ren Tang, how is my wife?"

"It's activated, and his third aunt is watching." When the old man saw Yunhe's return, the uneasiness in his heart not only did not dissipate, but increased, and he touched the pipe flusteredly.

At this moment, Brother Qing suddenly broke into the yard, "Uncle Yun! Uncle Yun! Did you see Lizi?"

Old man Yun saw his anxious face, and his uneasiness reached its peak, "Lizi went to Linfeng's house to borrow sugar, and she hasn't come back yet!"

Brother Qing immediately turned his head and ran away, "I'll go find him!"

Yunhe was a little strange, "Don't we have candy at home? Why do you want to borrow it?"

"Your mother said the brown sugar was gone, so she went to borrow the pears." Old man Yun squeezed his hand, he always felt bad about it.

"Impossible, my little brother went to the town to buy the best brown sugar specially two days ago, and left it at home. How could it disappear if no one touched it?" Yunhe felt strange, stood up to look for it, and searched the kitchen. No, he still felt strange when he returned to the main room.

Later, for some reason, he wanted to go to his father's house to have a look, so he ran to his father's house without saying a word, and found that it was piled up together. The brown sugar that disappeared from home.

Before he could think about the brown sugar, Brother Qing's loud voice appeared again, "Uncle Yun, hurry up and find Li Zi, he was kidnapped!"

Mrs. Bai came out from the kitchen, "What nonsense are you talking about?! You little brother ran away in fright and even made up nonsense. Go home!"

The old man Yun accidentally swung the bowl on the table to the ground, and ran out in a hurry, "Brother Qing, tell me again, what happened to the pear?"

Brother Qing was about to cry, he was panting so badly, but he didn't stutter when he spoke, "Lizi was taken away! Brother Li has already gone after him, so quickly ask your master to go after him, and go south along the village." gone!"

Yunhe ran out and heard this, and wanted to rush out, but was grabbed by old man Yun, "Dahe, your wife is giving birth, you can't leave, you watch at home, I'll call someone!"

Mrs. Mu obviously heard them talking, but the pain made her unable to speak loudly, "Third Aunt, you go, you go and tell Dahe that I'm fine, let him go and get my little brother back!"

But the current situation is not as normal as she said, because she was frightened, the birth canal that she was opening contracted rapidly, and the baby in her belly was not moving restlessly. The third aunt comforted her belly back and forth, "Little Lian, what are you doing?" Don't worry about the outside world now, give birth to the child first, your father-in-law is at home, he naturally has an idea, don't worry, the child is important."

Mrs. Mu wanted to hold back the pain, but the child in her stomach didn't understand her thoughts, because she was frightened and moved violently, "Ah——"

Soon a large amount of fluid flowed out from between her legs, and the third aunt was shocked when she saw this, the amniotic fluid broke!

"Xiao Lian, your birth canal has been opened, you can give birth now, hurry up, otherwise the baby will not come out, listen to me, inhale, and when you exhale, use your strength, you know?"

Mu's sweat was drenched all over her body. She stared desperately, nodded, and obediently inhaled and exhaled. It may be that the birth canal was opened as the third aunt said, and she almost focused her attention on the child's birth. When I got up, the birth canal really opened slowly.

The third aunt slowly let go of her troubled heart, "I saw the child's head, Xiaolian, work harder!"

Outside Yunhe also heard Third Aunt shouting loudly, and Mrs. Mu's painful wailing, and the foot that wanted to go to Yunli was frozen in place.

Old man Yun has already taken Brother Qing away, "Dahe, I will leave the family to you. You must watch over your mother so that your daughter-in-law can give birth with peace of mind. Lizi will be fine!"

Yunhe waited for them to leave, then closed the gate tightly, and instead of going inside, he stood under the eaves of the gate, letting the rain wet his pants.

Bai had been hiding in the kitchen for a long time and didn't dare to come out. When she heard no movement in the yard, she knew that the old man had brought someone to find that loser Yunli. If the old man really caught up with her, he would have to kill her when he came back. No, she can't wait at home, she has to go back to her mother's house!

It's just that as soon as she came out of the kitchen, she saw her eldest son blocking the door with a sullen face. That face was exactly the same as that of her old man when he was young, which made her hide in the kitchen in fear.

For a while, apart from the third aunt's vague voice of "Press hard, Xiaolian use hard.", there was only the sound of heavy rain swishing in the whole yard.

The rain in June was fast and urgent. It rained heavily all morning, but it stopped as soon as it said it would stop. Even the sun came out, but the sun didn't seem to shine into the yard.

"Hot water!" Third Aunt shouted loudly.

As if the statue-like Yunhe had just come to life, he ran into the kitchen, filled a pot of hot water from the pot, and brought it to the delivery room.

"Ask your mother to come over and help!" The third aunt was obviously in a hurry, she took the hot water and slammed the door, completely ignoring Yunhe's desire to ask questions.

He didn't dare to delay, and dragged his mother into the delivery room. After a while, a basin of blood was brought out. At the same time, Mrs. Bai who had just been sent in was pushed out of the door by the third aunt without a word of explanation, " Where is the doctor you hired? Call someone to come and help!"

Doctor Lin listened, put down the medicine box, washed his hands with hot water, and went in to help, "Boy Yun, hurry up and prepare hot water, the more the better."

The wind was blowing at Yunhe's feet, and he shuttled between the kitchen and the delivery room, bringing pots of hot water in, and pots of blood coming out, and his heart dropped little by little...

Finally, when the hot water was about to run out, there was no more hot water inside, and Yunhe was able to stand outside the door and listen carefully, but he couldn't hear Xiaolian's voice at all. He shouted in a panic, "Xiaolian ! Xiaolian, hold on!"

And Bai Shi, who was pushed out and fell covered in muddy water, had already quietly run away...
