Chapter 859 Finale: Seclusion
Chapter 859 Finale: Seclusion
The valley outside the mountain, at the foot of Wuji Peak.
Two panicked figures shuttled through the dense bamboo forest, their faces filled with anxiety as they shouted, "Madam He! It's born! It's coming!!"
Not far behind the bamboo forest, there is an open space with four thatched houses built on it;
In the large yard in front of the house, vegetables are planted on the left and several fruit trees are planted on the right. Red fruits hang on the branches, emitting a faint fragrance.
Behind the thatched hut is a low hill with a large area of peach trees planted on it. At this time, peach blossoms are flying all over the sky, and the petals are blown onto the roof of the thatched hut, making the roof light pink.
There was a lounge chair under the fruit tree next to it; a woman in a sky-blue dress was lying on the chair with her eyes closed, rocking gently; feeling the light escaping from the gaps between the leaves, she felt light and a little warm.
A man in plain clothes walked out of the room. He had a handsome face and an elegant temperament. Even though he was wearing a gray cloth, it was difficult to hide his noble temperament.
Holding a few bamboo strips in his hand, he walked to the edge of the yard and reinforced the half-built fence there.
At this moment, the woman in the rocking chair spoke in a soft and gentle voice, "Build that fence higher and make the bamboo smoother. Be careful not to hurt anyone."
Without even turning his head, the man simply said, "Isn't that what a fence is for? Who can it protect against if it's a little rounded?"
The woman didn't stand up, and replied calmly: "With you here, who needs a small fence to protect against others?"
The man was stunned for a moment, then stood up, still holding a piece of bamboo. "If it's not for protection, then what's the point of making this fence?"
Free?
He is not idle at all!
This time the woman reacted, tilting her head slightly to look at him, and smiled sweetly: "Of course it's for the sake of beauty!"
"And the vegetable garden over there needs watering. Once you finish the fence, go water it."
"Oh, the herb garden in the back also needs watering, I'll water it later."
"Oh, pick two more peppers later! Yi'er said she wanted to eat spicy and sour shredded potatoes yesterday. I taught you last time, didn't you remember?"
"Don't make it too salty this time! Yi'er will dislike you if it's too salty!"
The man was stunned, a hint of helplessness in his dark and deep eyes. He asked speechlessly, "I do everything, what are you doing? Shouldn't you be moving more at a time like this?"
She giggled, "I would like to, but Yi'er doesn't want to! Otherwise, I'll come back and tell Yi'er, will you let me work?"
The man's expression changed. "Well, I'll do it myself."
These two people are Shu He and Baili Moqing who live in seclusion in the mountains.
Ever since settling down at the foot of Wuji Mountain, Baili Moqing hadn't had a moment of leisure. He had completely transformed from a noble son into a farmer. Sometimes, he was so busy that he didn't even have time to trim his beard, becoming a sloppy, rough man.
If Shu He hadn't kicked him off the bed in disgust yesterday, his beard would have grown another half an inch today!
Shu He lay back on the recliner leisurely again, rocking gently, feeling very comfortable.
At this time, a loud shout came from a distance, "He Madam! Sister Zhang is about to give birth, it's difficult to give birth, help her!!"
After hearing this, Shu He suddenly jumped up from the rocking chair. The action scared Baili Moqing so much that he immediately dropped the bamboo stick in his hand and rushed to her side to support her.
"Ancestor, could you please be more careful!!"
Just now, sweat broke out on his back and his heart almost jumped out of fear!
His hand stroked her round belly. Fortunately, everything was normal.
Shu He couldn't help but rolled her eyes at him and slapped his hand away, "What a fuss! Can I really make the baby pop out?"
Baili Moqing wanted to speak, but the other person didn't give him a chance at all. He pushed him away and walked out of the yard. "You stay home and cook, I'll be back soon!"
Baili Moqing: "..."
This wasn't the first time she had left him alone like this.
"No, you're already pregnant, I want to go with you!"
After saying that, he moved and came to her side, staying close to her.
Two hours later, a baby's loud cry was heard from a farmer's house, followed by the joyful sound of the whole family.
On the way back, Baili Moqing supported her, a gentle smile on his face. "This child is the eighth baby you've delivered, right? If you keep going like this, you'll soon become the midwife of this valley!"
Shu He glanced at him and asked, "What's wrong? Is the midwife not good?"
Welcoming life and safeguarding hope, how meaningful it is!
"Of course not!" He explained quickly, "I just think this job is very tiring. You are due to give birth in a month and you don't have enough physical strength. It's better not to worry about this matter in the future."
Shu He sighed softly, "Difficult labor, human life is at stake, how can I not care? Yazhi solved everything she could on her own, and the things she came to me with were things she couldn't solve!"
"If I hadn't been here today, the twins, mother and child would have surely died!"
"Since I live here, I should help if I can. Besides, Yi'er has been taken care of by the people in this valley. Most of the vegetables and eggs you eat were given by them! Could it be that you still want to be ungrateful?"
Baili Moqing was helpless, "You know that's not what I meant. I'm worried about your health..."
"Don't worry! I just feel a little heavy now, but it won't affect my movements."
Baili Moqing knew that once she made a decision, she would not change it, so he didn't say anything more.
At most, he would follow her closely.
"Nanqi and Shiyi have been away for half a year. Did they say when they will be back?"
"Not yet, but Jiang Dongping sent an invitation saying that he and Zhang Zhirou will have a wedding ceremony in a month and asked if we would like to attend."
Without waiting for Shu He to speak, he added, "Don't even think about it. I rejected it!"
A month later, she was due to give birth. How could she possibly travel a long distance to Kyoto to attend their wedding?
There was a hint of longing in Shu He's eyes. In fact, she really wanted to go.
"Jiang Dongping finally got Ah Rou back."
"If they get married, will Princess Xichu treat Arou badly?"
"Go give Arou a letter and tell her that if she's unhappy staying in the Western Chu Palace, she can come to the Mountain Valley! We're guarded by King Kong. Not only Jiang Dongping, but even the entire Jiangdong Army won't be able to get in!"
Baili Moqing sighed softly, "Alright, stop worrying about other people! Yi'er is almost back, I have to go back and cook."
"Well, I want to drink some mushroom soup..."
"can!"
"I also want to eat some shredded chicken and golden porridge."
"Well, that's a bit troublesome, right? We might not have enough time. Can we do it tomorrow?"
"No, I want to eat now!"
"Okay, do it!"
"Then I want to..."
