Chapter 312 Giving birth
It is the height of summer and the heat is hard to dissipate.
Even though the sun has set, the damp and hot air has not yet dissipated, and the cicadas in the forest are chirping louder and louder.
Su Li always felt inexplicably irritated.
After nightfall, she tossed and turned in bed.
Lianrong, who was sharing the bed, gestured and asked her, "What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable? Do you want me to massage your waist?"
Su Li was heavy and had difficulty turning over.
Fortunately, Lianrong was there, and Songzhi and Songtao took turns to stay in her room and serve her.
Song Tao was on guard tonight. When she heard the noise, she quickly got up and lit the lamp. She helped Lianrong turn Su Li over and helped her sit up. One of them massaged her legs and the other massaged her waist.
"It's so hot and stuffy tonight, and there's not even a breath of wind."
Su Li complained.
Despite the scorching summer heat, the mountains were refreshingly cool. It was only hot at noon, but the mountain breeze in the morning and evening was infinitely more refreshing than in Shengjing.
But today's weather is very abnormal.
It was windless and stuffy, and the cicadas' chirping made people feel uneasy.
"Madam, why don't I get you a bowl of sour plum soup?" Song Tao asked softly.
"Alright. And open the window a little wider."
Song Tao walked out of the door and headed towards the kitchen.
After walking a few steps, I felt something was wrong.
Zhuangzi was on the top of the mountain. He saw from afar through the high wall that one side of the sky was red. Just as he was about to ask a question, Songzhi hurried in.
"Madam, there's a fire in the tea plantation at the foot of the mountain."
"It's dry and we're in the mountains, so it's difficult to deal with a fire. Has anyone gone to put out the fire?" Su Li heard the noise in the house and groped his way out with the help of Lian Rong.
"Don't worry, Madam. Liancheng has already sent someone."
A few people pushed open the door and saw a wildfire raging in the distance. They could vaguely see people huddled together in the firelight, trying to put out the fire.
Wildfires are very scary and extremely difficult to extinguish once they get out of control.
Once the forest canopy catches fire, the wind can help the flames spread from one hilltop to another. In addition, the wind in the valley changes rapidly, and a single turn can carry the flames to the other side.
Sometimes when you are trying to put out a fire, the fire has already spread to your back without you noticing. By the time you realize it, you are already trapped and can only burn to death.
If the methane produced by long-term accumulation were to explode, the consequences would be even more unimaginable.
In his previous life, Su Li had read many such reports. Even modern people seemed small and helpless in the face of wildfires, not to mention the current manpower and material resources.
Fortunately, there is no wind tonight, so we can still give it a try.
As soon as this thought came to mind, a cool breeze hit me in the face.
got windy.
Su Li's heart suddenly rose to his throat, and he said in a lost voice:
"Pass the order! Don't blindly put out fires. Quickly cut a barrier around the perimeter and humidify it with water. Don't put out fires that are already burning. Try to control the fire and prevent it from spreading."
His mind raced, and Su Li forced himself to calm down.
"I go!"
Song Tao was quick on her feet and ran away as soon as she heard Su Li's order.
As soon as Song Tao left the house, Huan Ge'er had already arrived at Su Li's yard.
He was reading late and was still awake when he heard the noise. He immediately dropped his book and ran to Su Li's main courtyard.
Everyone in the yard was awakened. Some people went to put out the fire, while others stayed in the yard to be on the safe side.
The order was quickly passed on, and everyone quickly took action, starting to cut trees and pour water around the fire.
But the wind seemed to be determined to do the wrong thing. It was so stuffy just now that even the grass was too lazy to turn over, but now it was whirring and sweeping towards the villa with hot sparks.
"Madam, we can't stay here for long. We need to get down the mountain quickly before the wildfire spreads here."
Seeing the wind rising and the wind direction being very unfavorable, Liancheng hurriedly left the fire scene and returned to the villa.
For him, it didn't matter if the manor and the mountain burned down, the most important thing was to ensure the safety of his wife, young master and young lady.
Huan Ge'er also made a quick decision, "Let's go! Let's go now!"
Everyone didn't dare to stay and surrounded Su Li and moved away quickly.
When Li Ma, Xi Jie'er and others saw Lian Rong pretending to be Pei Heng and helping Su Li walk out in a hurry, they were all stunned.
"General! Are you okay?"
Aunt Lu's shock was beyond words.
"Pei Heng" glanced at everyone indifferently and nodded.
Nanny Li clapped her hands, her joy beyond words.
"Great, great. Let's go, let's go!"
She waved her hand, and a sedan chair carrying Su Li ran down the mountain.
Little did they know that someone was waiting for this moment halfway up the mountain.
Tan and his men were all native Quanzhou people, and they knew the mountain's microclimate and topography like the back of their hands. Taking advantage of the dark and windy night, they chose the perfect spot to set fire, hoping to draw out the inhabitants.
Knowing that the servants brought by the wealthy merchants in the mountains were quite capable, Lieutenant General Tan specially mobilized a team of thousands of people from the Quanzhou camp for this encirclement and suppression.
Prince Kang has personally issued a secret order that Princess Mingmin and this wealthy businessman will not be able to escape tonight!
The ride was bumpy and Su Li's stomach felt tighter and tighter.
She touched her belly. The increasingly frequent contractions made her forehead sweat and a dense layer of sweat beads appeared on the tip of her nose.
"Child, you must hold on. You must not come out at this time!"
But the more nervous I was, the more painful it became. Until there was a violent collision, the sedan suddenly stopped. Then someone outside screamed,
"There's an ambush!"
As soon as he finished speaking, whistling arrows shot towards the team. The sound of someone being hit by an arrow rang in his ears, and even the sedan chair was nailed by several arrows with a clanging sound.
The curtain of the sedan chair was suddenly opened, Song Tao grabbed Su Li's hand and helped her out.
"Ma'am, please go."
Su Li gritted his teeth, endured the pain and staggered forward.
The sound of killing was deafening outside.
Liancheng and his secret guards fought against enemies that appeared out of nowhere.
Fire and fighting.
There is chaos on the mountain road!
"mother!"
Xijie'er was trembling a little, but fortunately she managed not to cry.
Mingmin held her hand and stood beside Su Li.
Huan Ge'er didn't know when a sword appeared in his hand.
"go back!"
It was impossible to go down the mountain.
The firelight was densely packed with people, and their attire was that of a regular military soldier. Huan Ge'er and Su Li looked at "Pei Heng" at the same time, and their guess in their minds coincided with each other.
Could it be that the identity of "Pei Heng" has been exposed?
Is the emperor going to kill people to silence them?
They all shook their heads again!
No, no!
Your Majesty has to have some face!
Thinking of this, they all looked at Mingmin.
Mingmin was also stunned, with ferocity and guilt flashing across his face at the same time.
"Auntie, I'm sorry. I've caused you trouble."
Su Li was already dizzy from the pain, so he didn't have time to argue with her.
"Don't be afraid, Auntie is here."
Seeing her like this, Madam Li beat her chest and stamped her feet.
"Oh my, this is probably the time for the baby to be born! My dear little ancestor, you really know how to pick the right time!"
He turned around and pulled "Pei Heng" and said:
"General! Hurry up! Kill them!"
How could Lian Rong know Kung Fu? She became anxious because of Li Ma's urging and stamped her feet, which made Li Ma stunned.
Huan Ge'er came to the rescue and said:
"Dad just woke up, his hands and feet aren't working properly yet. Stop wasting time and go back to the farm. Close the door, and delay as long as you can."
That's all it can do now.
Everyone protected Su Li and Pei Heng and returned to the villa.
After all this back and forth, Su Li fell down.
"I can't take it anymore. It hurts! Mammy, I'm going to give birth!"
