Chapter 045 Someone in the Shadows (First Update)

"Mother, my stomach hurts." Meng Xia took a deep breath and replied with patience.

Hearing this, the Wang family was startled, and hurriedly bombarded Father Meng out, "Brother Wu, you go out first, I'll take a look." ”

Father Meng nodded and turned around and walked out of the room.

Wang Shi lifted the quilt, checked it, couldn't help frowning, stroked Meng Xia's abdomen with both hands, felt the abnormal hardness, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, "It's okay!" If you have any more stress, take a few deep breaths, slowly calm down, and wait a while and it won't hurt. ”

The amniotic fluid didn't break, just excessive contractions.

Counting the days, there should be about a month before the day arrives.

Meng Xia nodded.

"Brother Wu, Xia Er is fine, don't worry." Wang ran to say something to Father Meng, who was guarding the door, and poured a glass of water from the warm pot on the stove, "Xia'er, you drink some water first." Wang put the water on the edge of the bed, reached out to help Meng Xia up, and put the pillow behind her back to make her sit up a little more comfortably.

The warm water moistened the throat and warmed the stomach, and slowly the abdomen was not so tight and less painful.

"Mother, my daughter has shocked you and your father again."

"Silly boy, what stupid things to say." Wang Shi stretched out his hand and gently stroked the hair scattered on her cheeks, and looked at her kindly, "Starting tomorrow, my mother will move over and sleep with you, and I will take care of you at night." ”

"Mother, don't be so nervous, I'll call you if there's anything." Meng Xia shook his head.

Wang glanced at her with disgust, "No! The day is coming, and sooner or later it is a common thing, and I am not there to take care of it, and I can't sleep well at night. Mother knows, you are used to sleeping alone, tomorrow I will ask your father to move the bamboo bed in, I will make the bed, it will not hinder you. ”

"Mother, I didn't mean that......"

"So it was decided." Wang patted the back of her hand and asked lightly, "Xia'er, is it still so painful?" ”

Meng Xia shook his head, "It doesn't hurt anymore!" ”

"It's okay!" Wang said with relief: "You can sleep for a while." ”

"Mother, you can go back to your room and sleep."

"You sleep first, and when you fall asleep, I'll go back to my room."

"Mother......

"Obedient! Go to sleep! ”

Listening to Wang's coaxing himself like a child, the corners of Meng Xia's eyes couldn't help but moisten, and he hurriedly closed his eyes and turned sideways, for fear that Wang would see his tears. This is what a deep fate makes her feel the warmth of home and the love of her parents here.

A black shadow rushed from behind the Meng family all the way to the edge of the cliff in the back mountain, where there was already a man in a silver mask standing with his hands in his hands, and when he heard the sound, he did not look back, but asked lightly: "How is the situation?" ”

"Back to the master's words, the Meng family raised a little white wolf, it was very vigilant, woke up the people of the Meng family, and the subordinates failed to go in to check one or two, but the subordinates saw that the plum blossom wood carving in the yard was almost completed."

The mountain wind blew the corners of their robes to the sound of hunting, but the man did not look back.

All of a sudden, on the cliff, only the sound of the wind blowing the robe horns.

After a long time, the man spoke, "Did you spill something?" ”

"Spilled."

The man nodded, and suddenly asked, "You say, if a person falls from here, can he still live?" ”

glanced down at the bottomless cliff bottom, and responded objectively: "Ten ** can't survive." ”

"Perhaps, the man is a cat?" The man chuckled a few times, "Let's go back." ”

"Yes, master." The man in black hurried away.

In the early morning of the next day, Meng Xia woke up and vaguely heard Meng Dong's voice, after freshening up, she went out of the room, and sure enough, she saw Meng Dong and Meng's father chatting in the yard, and when she came out, Meng Dong grinned, "Third sister, you are awake!" ”

"Second brother, why are you back?"

"The affairs of the town are not urgent, so I will come back from leave, and my family needs me at this time." Meng Dong glanced at Father Meng, and as he spoke, Father Meng nodded, "Xia'er, what your second brother said is true, your mother cooked breakfast for you in the kitchen, you can eat it quickly." ”

Hearing this, Meng Xia understood.

The second brother was called back by Father Meng.

"Good!" Meng Xia nodded, "Then the second brother will talk to my father for a while, and I'll go have breakfast." ”

Meng Dong smiled and nodded, his gaze pausing on her abdomen.

After breakfast, Meng Xia began to finish the wood carving, polishing it carefully, inspecting it carefully, trimming it carefully, and making sure that there was no problem with the wood carving, she put down the tool and looked at the work she had worked hard for several months with a light smile.

Without varnish, even if she carefully polished the surface of the wood carving over and over again, it was not as shiny as the varnish. This is a fly in the ointment, but fortunately, the roots have been soaked in water for many years, and after polishing, they are still good.

Meng Dong circled around the wood carving a few times, his eyes widened, and he couldn't make a sound for a long time.

Father Meng also squatted aside, his eyes fixed on the wood carving.

A tree root that no one wanted, under Meng Xia's carving, actually became a picture of Merlin. Under the plum tree, there are pavilions, small bridges, rockeries, some people sit in the pavilion to play, and there are two white cranes standing under the bridge......

"Third sister, you are really amazing." Meng Dong could no longer find the words to describe his mood at the moment.

Meng Xia smiled, "It's not that I'm powerful, it's that this root is too rare." ”

Afterwards, Qin Baolin had people carefully salvage in the lake, but no ebony roots were found, as for how this tree root was at the bottom of the lake? Qin Baolin was also confused.

However, Meng Xia often thought that this tree root might be God's compensation for her.

"Xia'er, is this done?" Father Meng stood up and walked to Meng Xia's side, but his gaze was still fixed on the wood carving.

Meng Xia nodded, "It's done." ”

"Haha—it seems that I came at the right time." Outside the courtyard gate, Master Gao, accompanied by Qin Jiugong, walked in with a smile. When they saw the finished wood carving, their eyes couldn't help but widen.

Father Meng hurriedly greeted him with his children, "Lord Gao, village chief, why didn't you let anyone report when you came?" ”

"Haha! I'm already familiar with your family as if I were in my own home, so why bother? Master Gao laughed again, looking at the wood carving and secretly surprised.

The Eight Sages King is really discerning talents, this Meng Xia is too ordinary.

"My lord, the village chief, please sit in the house." Father Meng made a gesture, turned his head to the kitchen, and said, "Mother, Lord Gao and the village chief are here, hurry up and make tea." ”

"Huh-" Wang responded.

Meng Xia also followed into the house and sat down with him.

In the past few months, Mr. Gao has come to the door once every half a month or so, and he is very interested in this wood carving. Now that he saw that the thing came out, and it was out of his own presupposition, the tall man was greatly relieved.

I thought, it shouldn't be a problem to get promoted and get rich this time, right?

"Miss Meng, you are really talented, this wood carving is so delicate that it is not like a mortal thing. The official received a message from the Eight Sages King yesterday, saying that the prince would go to Fengyang Town in the next few days, and he would personally come to pick up the wood carving and return to Beijing. ”

When everyone heard this, they all had expressions of disbelief on their faces.

When Master Gao saw it, he was even more happy, looked at Meng Xia, and said, "Miss Meng, when the prince sees the wood carving, he will definitely be rewarded." In the future, the girl will become famous, but don't forget the official. ”
