Chu Yan paused and picked up a piece of chicken for Liu Sanniang. “Do you like chicks?”
Liu Sanniang was stunned. Before she could answer, she heard Chu Yan chuckle with joy. “I’ll get some for you in the future.”
This was an illusion. It was all fake. After leaving the illusion, he could give her as many as she wanted.
Liu Sanniang did not dare to make a sound, but she was not calm inside at all. The sapling in her heart seemed to have been blessed by holy water and was growing crazily.
After dinner, Liu Sanniang took the initiative to clean up the dishes. She said to Chu Yan, “Go and rest. I’ll wash the dishes.”
Chu Yan had cleaned up the house and even cooked the food. He should be tired. It was only right for her to wash the dishes.
Chu Yan reached out and grabbed Liu Sanniang’s palm. “Let me do it.”
Liu Sanniang felt a little embarrassed. She hadn’t done anything since they moved in here.
Chu Yan smiled. “In the future, you will have plenty of chances to wash dishes and do other things.”
Chu Yan let go and put away the bowls and chopsticks.
Liu Sanniang’s cheeks were burning. When she returned to her room, she found that the bedding was new. The room had not been occupied for a long time, so there was a moldy smell. However, Chu Yan had cleaned it up well, so the smell would dissipate in a few days.
She was not sleepy yet, so she could not help but recall what happened recently. They entered the illusion after Huang Ming finished recounting the past. At that time, Wu Ju was strangely calm.
Did this illusion mean that Huang Ming was lying?
If they did not wake up from the illusion, they would live like the villagers of Huanghu Village. Only she and Chu Yan woke up, and hence, they became outsiders.
Wei Shilai was the village chief, and the other constables also played various roles.
What about Wu Ju? Who could he be?
Liu Sanniang felt that after they figured out who Wu Ju had become, they would probably be able to leave this illusion.
Letting them see the truth back then might be Wu Ju’s goal.
In a daze, Liu Sanniang fell asleep. It seemed that she had slept very deeply. When she woke up, it was already dawn.
She stood up and opened the door. There was movement in the kitchen. Chu Yan was probably cooking already.
Liu Sanniang did not go into the kitchen. She went to the corner of the courtyard with a stool and stood on it to take a look on the other side. When she saw the scene, she was so shocked that she almost fell down…
Huang Lang’er was chopping the firewood into small pieces in the courtyard, while Huang Xianxian’s stomach was already bulging. She supported her waist with one hand and wiped the sweat off Huang Lang’er with a handkerchief.
Liu Sanniang got off the stool and immediately went to the kitchen. Chu Yan was making poached eggs. He looked up at Liu Sanniang and asked gently. “What’s wrong?”
Liu Sanniang smelled the fragrance and started salivating. “Did you go to take a peep at Huang Lang’er?”
Chu Yan nodded. “Yes, Huang Xianxian is pregnant. Don’t panic. This is an illusion. Years will feel like days.”
Liu Sanniang thought about it and felt that it made sense. If Huang Xianxian was pregnant, it meant that she was about to give birth. Then, at that time, her identity would be exposed.
During the meal, Liu Sanniang said, “I’ll go take another look after dinner.”
Chu Yan nodded.
After breakfast, Liu Sanniang went out. Since she was going to drop in on Huang Lang’er, she brought some gifts and a basket of eggs.
Huang Lang’er opened the door and was stunned to see Liu Sanniang. “Haven’t you found the herbs you wanted?”
Liu Sanniang nodded. This was an illusion and not the real Huanghu Village. She and Chu Yan should not be here in the first place.
Holding a basket, Liu Sanniang said, “When is Miss Xianxian giving birth? I brought some eggs for her.”
Huang Lang’er invited Liu Sanniang in and replied. “Xianxian is giving birth in a few days. Thank you.”
She was about to give birth.
Huang Xianxian held her stomach as she came out of the house. She smiled gently at Liu Sanniang to express her gratitude.
Liu Sanniang looked at her bulging stomach. For some reason, she could feel that Huang Xianxian was running out of spiritual power. If she wanted to give birth to this child, it would damage her greatly.
When Huang Xianxian came out, Huang Lang’er immediately went up to hold her and said softly, “Xianxian, how are you feeling? Do you still feel uncomfortable? Go back and lie down.”
Huang Xianxian replied with a flushed face. “I can’t lie down all the time. I have to walk around more. This will help the baby become strong.”
Huang Xianxian looked at Huang Lang’er with love. Even though she knew that giving birth to a human baby was risky, she still wanted to take the gamble.
Liu Sanniang had already left silently.
Nothing unusual happened in the next few days.
Huang Xianxian gave birth seven days later.
That night, Liu Sanniang heard Huang Xianxian’s painful screams. She immediately got out of bed and at the same time, Chu Yan opened the door. Liu Sanniang glanced at him and the two of them went out together.
Huang Lang’er hurriedly ran to a family in the village who had experience in delivering babies and invited the old midwife over. There were also many women with her.
Liu Sanniang was familiar with these women. They were all constables from the government office. They were stunned for a moment when they saw Liu Sanniang and Chu Yan before remembering who these two were.
“You’re the wife of the doctor, right? You’ve been in the village for some time. Why isn’t your stomach getting bigger?”
Officer Zhang sized up Liu Sanniang from head to toe. His voice was a little sharp, causing everyone to look over.
After saying that, Officer Zhang looked at Chu Yan and said, “Doctor Chu, I haven’t been feeling well recently. Can you take my pulse?”
“It’s none of your business if my stomach is getting bigger or not. Mind your own business.”
Liu Sanniang was shocked by the fact that these words came from her. She had just blurted them out like an angry cat.
The women looked at Liu Sanniang in shock. After coming back to their senses, they pulled Officer Zhang away and said to Liu Sanniang with a smile, “Mrs. Chu, don’t take what she said to heart. She can get too chatty sometimes.”
“Is Auntie Hu here? Lang’er’s wife is about to give birth.”
The door opened and a woman stuck her head out.
Liu Sanniang recognized her at a glance. This was Huang Daniu’s mother. Her face was filled with anxiety.
Chu Yan paused and picked up a piece of chicken for Liu Sanniang. “Do you like chicks?”
Liu Sanniang was stunned. Before she could answer, she heard Chu Yan chuckle with joy. “I’ll get some for you in the future.”
