Several people hung their heads and did not take any. Fubao put the bun into his cloth bag, grimacing from the heat, and then handed it to several people: "Hurry up and take it."

There was a hint of alienation between the tall boy's eyebrows: "No, thank you. We've already eaten. Let's go first."

They didn't say much this time, their expressions were full of loneliness that Fubao couldn't understand. But Fubao knew in his heart that if he let them live in, he would be absolutely responsible. Not only for their food, clothing and shelter, but what if they were really bad people, wouldn't that be like inviting a wolf into the house?

Thinking of this, she hardened her heart and did not chase after him.

Li Shuangrong: "What's wrong? You haven't even eaten yet."

Fubao: "They said they were worried and wanted to stay at our house for a few nights."

Li Shuangrong: "We should be more careful. We shouldn't doubt them. We are unfamiliar with the place and have provoked some scum. What if they want to retaliate and get hurt for no reason?"

Fu Bao nodded. Her most important task now was to find a highly lethal weapon that the former dynasty's former subordinates had spent a huge amount of money to buy.

Fubao had been wandering around Yuezhou's busiest market for several days. It must be said that there were quite a lot of novelties here. She had collected a lot of things over the past few days. However, she still had no clue about the weapon.

It has been seven days since the incident, and Lingzi has not been caught yet. Fubao is very worried.

That evening, Fubao came back from outside as usual, and he and Li Shuangrong bought a lot of delicious food at the market. Because no one taught her, Zhao Xiuer still didn't know how to cook seafood. When they wanted to eat, they would pack it up from the restaurant outside and bring it home to enjoy.

Fubao jumped off the carriage carrying the food box from the restaurant and shouted, "Mother, you don't have to cook dinner today!"

Zhao Xiuer came out after hearing this and took the food box from her hand with a smile: "Little greedy cat, what did you buy this time?"

Fu Bao smiled and said, "Open it and take a look. People say that the food in this restaurant is delicious."

Zhao Xiuer recently helped a young woman next door make clothes for her unborn child, who was expected to be born in two days. That family had no mother-in-law, and the woman was only sixteen years old, far away from her parents' home, and she didn't know anything.

It was only when Zhao Xiuer went out to buy groceries that she accidentally saw her pouring out slop with a big belly that she quickly told her some taboos for pregnant women.

Fubao: "Mother, did sister Xiaoman give birth today?"

Zhao Xiuer tapped her nose: "Not yet, but it looks like it will be soon."

Fubao nodded, looked at the small hats and shoes in the box, and picked one up curiously: "What a small one!"

Zhao Xiuer put away the needle and said, "When you were little, I also made a set for you. Our family was not well off at the time, and your grandfather felt sorry for you not having a cloth to wrap you up at birth, so he ran over 80 miles to buy you a piece of small floral cloth from someone else."

Fubao: "Wait a few days, and write to them and pick them up when you find a suitable house." Although Yuzhou is good, it is too close to the battlefield after all. The last epidemic has shown that it is not very safe there. Although the prices here are high, the people are relatively kind, and no one knows Fubao's identity, not to mention the scenery.

Zhao Xiuer nodded: "I'll send these hats and shoes to the next door in a while, as well as this little quilt. In case the baby is born, I'll have these on hand."

Li Shuangrong came in with a smile and opened the lunch box. There were two meat dishes and two vegetable dishes inside, which made people's mouths water. After the family finished eating, Li Shuangrong went to the kitchen to wash the dishes.

Zhao Xiuer used to touch too much cold water in winter, and in the past few days, as the seasons changed, the skin on her hands began to peel off layer by layer. Li Shuangrong felt sorry for her, otherwise she would do the work of washing and rinsing.

Zhao Xiuer put the little shoes and quilt in the backpack and said, "Let's go and see Xiaoman and put the things down for her." Fubao hurriedly followed.

The door next door was half open, so Zhao Xiuer knocked casually and walked in.

As soon as they entered the door, their pupils suddenly shrank. Zhao Xiuer's backpack fell to the ground and she ran over in a hurry: "Xiaoman! Xiaoman! What's wrong with you?"

Fubao also hurried over to check on the situation. Xiaoman was lying on the ground with a pale face, but fortunately she was still conscious. When she saw Zhao Xiuer, she couldn't control her tears and said, "Auntie, save me, I'm in so much pain, my stomach hurts so much."

Zhao Xiuer looked at the mess under her and immediately said, "She's about to give birth! Don't move, I'll call someone to carry you."

Fubao looked at the blood stains under her body, the amniotic fluid and blood mixed together and flowing out, and the hem of her clothes was covered with mud.

Fubao kept comforting her: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, it's just that the baby is about to be born."

Although Xiaoman was pregnant, she kept herself clean every day and her hair was neatly tied up.

Now, she was kneeling on the ground with her hair disheveled, sweat soaking her hair and sweating on her neck and face. She kept screaming in pain.

Zhao Xiuer came back soon, followed by several elderly women, who hurriedly half-carried and half-supported the person into the inner room.

Fubao followed him in. Xiaoman was in so much pain that she couldn't stand up. She lay on the bed and cried, "Can I not give birth? It hurts so much! I'm scared!"

Zhao Xiuer's eyes were full of pity: "Hold on, don't be afraid."

The women behind had all given birth and had some experience. They all said at once, "Zhu Zi's wife, you can't lie down like this. What if you crush the baby?"

Xiaoman was in so much pain that she couldn't hear anything. She crawled from one side of the bed to the other, but couldn't get up.

Her screams were so sharp that several neighbors hurriedly helped her lie down: "Save your strength. Don't scream like that when giving birth."

The midwife arrived quickly, and the scissors and hot water were ready as soon as she entered the door. The delivery began quickly.

There were too many people in the inner room. When Fubao came out to take a breath, he heard hurried noises from inside, a basin of hot water knocked over on the ground, and several women screaming.

"Wow--!!!"

"Come out! Come out!"

The midwife quickly put the baby aside and Zhao Xiuer immediately went over to wrap her up. Xiaoman was so tired that she finally relaxed and fell asleep the moment she heard the baby's voice.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Now that the child was born, the rest would be easy.

"Look at this kid, does he look like a pillar?"

"Look how fair she is, she must be Xiaoman. When Zhuzi was born he was dark, not as pretty as this."

"Look at what you said. If this little girl looks like her father, how will she find a husband in the future? She looks like her mother. Look at her nose and her little mouth..."

Fu Bao heard the child's voice and heaved a sigh of relief when he stood in front of the door. Then he sat by the door and listened to the sound of people inside teasing the child.

"what!!!"

Suddenly, Zhao Xiuer screamed from inside.
