Chapter 426: Shocking news
The sky was getting dark, and all the houses turned on their lights. The sound of rain outside the window seemed to have diminished a lot, and people seemed to vaguely see the dawn of the rain stopping.
Hehua listened to the noise outside, pursed her lips and said, "God bless, the rain will stop soon. No one can bear it if it continues like this."
Zi Su lifted the cotton door curtain and entered the room: "Grandma, there is someone outside asking to see grandma."
"Who is it? Are you here to see me at this hour?" Xiao Xiu frowned and asked before He Hua could speak.
"When I replied to my uncle and grandma, I said that he came back to deliver the letter earlier, and he would not tell me until he saw grandma in person." Zisu replied in a precise manner.
"Who is this guy? He's quite arrogant!" Xiao Xiu curled her lips, "You lead people to the flower hall to wait, and I'll do the same thing when I go out to meet you." After saying that, he patted He Hua on the shoulder comfortingly, "Xu is Master Sun's subordinate. The people who came to deliver the message were just like him, they were all arrogant but kind-hearted. Generally, people who are not familiar with him can't stand his temper, but once they got to know each other, they were all very easy to get along with."
"I went there with my sister-in-law. I have been sitting sideways all day without moving." Hehua stood up and supported Xiaozhen's arm, and followed Xiaoxiu towards the flower hall in front.
Halfway through the kitchen, He Hua couldn't help but swallow her saliva and her eyes drifted towards the kitchen when she asked about the fragrance coming from inside.
Seeing this, Xiaoxiu couldn't help but smile and said: "You go over and have something to eat. I'll just go ahead by myself. It's like this when you're pregnant. When you think about something to eat, you want to eat it in your mouth right away. There's nothing to be embarrassed about. It’s all the kids in the belly who want to eat it!”
Seeing this, He Hua no longer hesitated. She didn't have to be too greedy to walk. She turned around and led the girl into the kitchen. She put the newly baked sweet-scented osmanthus candy cake and glutinous rice and bean paste dumplings in a food box for the girl to carry. Go to the flower hall.
As soon as he entered the house from the back door, before turning around the screen, he heard a man's voice coming from the house: "... I wish Madam a happy holiday. People cannot be resurrected. If Mr. Qi is alive in heaven, he will not be willing to see it. The family members are devastated..."
Is there a spirit in heaven
Hehua couldn't hear a word of what the man said next. Only these four words kept lingering in his mind, like thunder exploding in his mind. His whole person fell into chaos and his body stopped. Keep falling.
Xiao Zhen held He Hua hard, but he couldn't hold it at all. He threw away the food box in his hand and wrapped his hands around He Hua's armpits to hold him up. He was so anxious that he shouted: "Come here quickly." , someone is coming quickly!”
Hehua felt her stomach sink, and began to throb in pain. The pain made her bite her lip and pinch her palms. A stream of heat slowly slid down her legs... Her mind went blank, and she fainted in Xiaozhen's arms. inside.
"Grandma... Grandma..." Xiaozhen screamed in fright. He could no longer hold up Hehua's body. The two of them collapsed on the ground, feeling that their hands were wet and almost crying.
Xiao Xiu was the first to run over when she heard the cry, and was shocked when she saw it. The person who had just delivered the letter said that Qi Jintang was dead, which had already made her mind a mess. Now seeing He Hua like this, her heart was pounding, and she could barely hold on. He ordered rationally: "Is the delivery room at home ready? Hurry up and carry the person in, send someone to ask for Mrs. Wen, and then invite the doctor over, and then go and personally inform Madam... "
After all, Mrs. Huang had raised a few children, so she was also helping to make arrangements, arranging for the maids and mothers below to boil water, make the delivery bed, new scissors, and clean white cloth. A clay pot to hold the afterbirth.
Lotus flowers were placed on the matted maternity bed, a charcoal basin was raised in the room, a tent was hung up, and the doctor was invited in to diagnose the pulse.
The doctor frowned and said, "Excessive panic and extreme grief will harm the fetus. The fetus must be delivered immediately, otherwise both adults and children may be in danger."
"Our grandma has fainted now, how can she give birth to a baby..." Bai Zhi knelt on the bedside and turned pale with fear.
The doctor took out the silver needle and applied it on several key points.
After a while, Lotus made some subtle noises in his throat, and he slowly woke up.
"Grandma..." Several girls gathered around.
Xiao Xiu separated from everyone and stepped forward, grabbed He Hua's hand and said: "Po Wen is here. I know you are sad at this time, but now is not the time to think about this. The child in your belly is Jintang's only bloodline. He You should know how much you love this child, and you must give birth to this child for him."
He Hua only felt pain in her heart and body. There was no place in her body that was not in pain. She heard Xiao Xiu's words, gritted her teeth and nodded, but couldn't exert any strength.
The midwife took a piece of ginseng for Lotus and put it under the base of her tongue, and said, "Grandma, please wake me up first, save some energy, and wait until the slave asks you to use more force."
Xiao Xiu held He Hua's hand tightly, not daring to take her eyes away for a moment, for fear that something would happen if she looked wrongly.
Zi Su came in crying and said: "Uncle, my wife passed away when she heard the news that I was gone. My sister over there asked the slave to come over and ask the doctor to take a look."
After hearing this, Hehua's hands immediately shook, she turned her head away, and two lines of hot tears fell silently on the pillow.
Xiao Xiu noticed it immediately, glared at Zi Su displeased, winked at her girl Hui'er and said: "You lead the doctor over to diagnose Madam's pulse, and send someone to find me when I come back. You can stay at Madam's place." While watching the situation, if there is anything going on, please send a message to both ends, and place someone at the door of the delivery room to guard the door to prevent any messy people from rushing in. For such a big person, he doesn't think twice about what he says."
Zisu was still young and couldn't do any errands at home. She was only ordered to run errands, deliver things and send messages, etc. She had never been scolded like this before. She was so frightened that she didn't know where to move her hands and feet. He was dragged out by Huier.
Qi's mother was just furious, a mouthful of phlegm blocked her heart, and she fainted. The doctor gave her a few injections and gave her another pill. After a while, she slowly woke up. The doctor told her not to disturb or stimulate her any more. , so the people below did not dare to mention Hehua's premature birth. They only said that they were afraid that Hehua would hurt her body. Before telling her the news, they lit the soothing incense in the room and coaxed Qi's mother to sleep and rest.
Borong and Sun Jianyu were still guarding the place where the rocks collapsed. Taking advantage of the rain to subside tonight, they directed the people to continue digging the mountain road. None of the people sent out came back with any news. The two of them were anxious and unhappy. Dare to give up any hope.
"Uncle, uncle, something serious has happened!" Hong Yuan rushed over to report the news, "Grandma was born prematurely, and my wife also fell ill. My aunt asked you to go back quickly. The whole house is in chaos."
"How could such a good person be like this?" Bo Rong swayed a few times after hearing these words, and almost fell off the rock he was standing on. He jumped off the rock and grabbed Hong Yuan, "What happened at home? Why is it for no reason? Will she give birth prematurely?"
Without saying a word, Sun Jianyu got on his horse and galloped back to the city. Only then did Bo Rong react and chase after him quickly.
It was late at night when the two of them arrived home, and the rain was still pouring down. They walked through the moon gate and entered the main courtyard. They still felt that the silence was so quiet that it made people feel chilly. The two of them walked straight to the door of the side courtyard where the delivery room was located, and then they heard the sound of the house. There were noisy voices and the sound of clinking utensils.
Po Wen shouted loudly: "Grandma, please push harder, push harder..."
Another girl over there raised her voice and shouted: "Hot water, bring the hot water quickly..."
"Ginseng slices, get some more ginseng slices..."
In this noise, Sun Jianyu could only clearly hear He Hua's suppressed cry of pain. The other sounds were very far away. Only the vague whimpering hit his eardrums and hit his heart. The pain was so intense that he wished he could bear such pain for her.
Sun Jianyu looked at the basins of blood and water brought out of the house, and smashed his whole fist on the tree trunk in the courtyard. His heart ached so hard that he couldn't even feel the pain in his hands.
Borong anxiously paced up and down the corridor, but he always felt that something was wrong. He turned around and saw Miaoer coming out of the house with red eyes. He quickly grabbed Miaoer and asked, "What is going on today? What happened before?" Even when I sent someone home to deliver the message, the baby was all fine, so why did one of them become sick and the other one was born prematurely all of a sudden?"
"Uncle, we got the news today. We... Our uncle is gone. After hearing the news, my wife and grandma..." Miao'er covered her mouth and couldn't speak anymore. Two lines of tears fell down her cheeks, and she half-turned her body. Go wipe your tears.
"Who said Jintang is gone?" Bo Rong was shocked when he heard this, "Where did you get the news?"
After hearing this, Miao'er felt something was wrong and said hurriedly: "It's a letter sent by the messenger from the Yamen. I saw him in the Yamen and said that my body was found there. I'll wait until daybreak." … Just send it back.”
"Nonsense!" Bo Rong frowned, "The government officials are all here with us. If we really found something, how could we not know about it? Moreover, today, the people in the yamen didn't do much. We were all responsible for it." The people who came here are busy digging, there must be something wrong here."
"No way..." Miao'er was dumbfounded when he heard this. If this was really the case, wouldn't grandma's punishment be in vain? Now it's unclear whether a person will live or die.
Sun Jianyu said in a hoarse voice: "Now is not the time to investigate the cause. Go in quickly and tell your grandma that the person who came to report the child earlier is a liar. Let her give birth to the child safely first before talking about anything else."
Miao'er quickly turned around and went back to spread the message. He Hua had been tortured to the point where she had no strength at all. All she could think about was, so tired, so painful... Let me just sleep like this... But there was always someone shouting in her ears to let herself go. Awake, exert force...
When she heard Miao'er's words, she didn't care whether it was true or false. She just thought that Jintang might still be alive, and she had to work hard to survive to see him... A sudden surge of strength came from her body, and she spit out the towel she was biting. , shouted out hoarsely. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to subscribe and reward.
