Auntie Yan took a deep breath and rolled up the sleeves on her wrist. She looked at Gao Lang and said, "Madam, bear with the pain, I'll try again!"
Auntie Yan could not bear to part with the child that had grown up in Jin Xiaolou. If she really wanted to protect her master, then she could only use a pair of pliers to cut the child out.
However, if he did not take out the child now, the delay would be too long. He was afraid that even the size of the child might not be preserved.
Auntie Yan had delivered many children. Almost all of the juniors in the Gu family village had been born from her hands. Thus, she wanted to give it her all.
She rubbed her hands together to warm them, then reached over and pulled the child's leg inside. Her hands quickly reached in and grabbed both of the child's ankles, pulling with all her strength.
This movement seemed light and swift, but it was actually extremely dangerous and dangerous.
Jin Xiaolou screamed in pain, followed by the sound of a baby crying.
She used the handkerchief to wipe the child's body clean and wrapped him in a blanket. She passed it to Nan Yang who was beside her: "Madam, it's a boy, he's so strong!"
Then, he looked at Jin Xiaolou's stomach. "There's still one more.
Jin Xiaolou only felt her stomach loosen, but then the pain struck again. Hearing Aunt Yan's words, Jin Xiaolou could only grit her teeth and nod.
After the first one came out, the second one was much faster. Not long after, Jin Xiaolou felt that the bloating discomfort in his stomach disappeared, and her body relaxed along with his empty stomach.
Jin Xiaolou released Gao Lang's hand and gently closed his eyes, muttering: "I'm too tired, I'll sleep for a while, just a bit more."
When he woke up, he felt extremely satisfied. The surroundings felt warm, and his body and mind were extremely comfortable, but the moment he opened his eyes, he heard the cries of a baby, followed by Lin'er's happy voice: "Father, Mother is awake!"
She caressed Lin'er and saw Gao Lang running over to squat on the bedside, Jin Xiaolou immediately asked: "How is the child?"
"A pair of twins. Healthy." Gao Lang lovingly kissed Jin Xiaolou on the forehead, "My wife, you've worked hard."
Hearing that the child was safe and healthy, Jin Xiaolou relaxed. Struggling to sit up, she asked Nan Yang to carry the child to him.
Two toddlers were wrapped in red scarves, revealing only their small, pink faces. One of them was quietly sleeping with her small mouth moving, while the other was crying until his nose and eyes were red. Jin Xiaolou hugged one of them on one side, looked left and right, and felt that the two of them were the same as the Lin'er when he was young, which made her heart melt and soften.
"Maybe he's hungry." Seeing one of them unable to stop crying, Nan Yang spoke out.
Jin Xiaolou naturally untied her clothes and fed the child. This time, she had plenty of milk, but the moment she thought about one of the children being sent to Jinjun Mountain, her heart throbbed in pain.
"Let's call them Sier and Nian Er." Jin Xiaolou suddenly said. Since the two of them were her flesh and blood, she could not choose who to send away. However, no matter which one she sent away, she would miss him for the rest of her life.
"Alright." Gao Lang understood what Jin Xiaolou meant, "My wife has the final say."
Just as he finished speaking, a rumbling sound suddenly came from outside the tent, followed by a figure appearing hastily in front of the tent in a flash. Chang An's voice was still calm: "Seventh Elder, someone is attacking from the desert."
"How many?" Gao Lang frowned, these people were truly unlucky, it was the new year, and the small building had just been produced, he did not want to leave his wife's side at all.
Chang An replied: "The dust brought by the horses' hooves is too big, I can't see the number of people, but... Seeing that the number of troops is higher than in the past, General Hu Shan has already led his team out.
"Bring the horse." Gao Lang shouted out, and turned to Jin Xiaolou, "My wife, I will be right back."
Jin Xiaolou unwillingly held onto Gao Lang's hand, and only let go after a while: "I'll wait for your return."
Gao Lang nodded, then said to Nan Yang: "Take good care of Madam."
Then, he turned around and walked out of the tent.
There was a long whine from the horses, and soon they were lost in the din.
Nan Yang leaned on the side of the tent entrance, opened the curtain and took a peek, with just a glance, she could tell that the form was completely different from before.
In the past, it was just some bandits. They didn't have many people and they didn't have much courage. They could only harass the surrounding people and not charge into the barracks.
However, this time, there were at least several hundred people watching as the yellow sand got closer. They all headed straight for the army camp.
Gao Lang led the majority of the soldiers in the army camp, leaving behind a small portion of them to guard Jin Xiaolou's camp. He and Chang An were the leaders of the cavalry, moving towards the surging yellow sand, determined to block the enemies outside of the camp.
Hu Shan and the rest were not far ahead. Gao Lang saw that when Hu Shan was about to get close to the yellow sand, he suddenly pulled on the reins tightly and stood still, then he hurriedly turned his horse around.
Chang An turned his face to the side, "Seventh Elder, General Hu Shan seems to have encountered something. Could it be that there are too many enemies? "
"Impossible." Gao Lang pursed his lips. He could naturally tell that Hu Shan was a little off, but this desert was filled with bandits. It was just a piece of loose sand, how could they gather together?
After rushing forward for another kilometer, the yellow sand had gradually become clear. Gao Lang's eyes focused and felt that it wasn't good, as he heard Hu Shan's shout: "Quickly turn back! We've been tricked! "
Chang An immediately stopped his horses and looked behind the yellow sand that was rolling up. There were only around 10 men riding camels, and there were around 10 camels with a hemp rope tied to the middle, and tree branches tied to the rope. Behind the camels, there were also tree branches tied to the back of the camels.
There weren't many of them, but as the camels ran, the branches lifted up the yellow sand. From afar, the scene looked as if there were hundreds of them.
"This is bad!" Chang An exclaimed. Turning his head, Gao Lang spurred his horse and rushed back.
Behind him, the military camp was already filled with the miasma of smoke.
Jin Xiaolou had just fed the two children well. She carried Lin'er in front of him and introduced the two younger brothers to him. The three children widened their eyes. They looked at each other. This was the first time they had met.
Nan Yang looked at the two infant girls and joked: "The one that's smiling is like a lady, and looks lively. The other one is like a Seventh Elder with an expressionless face, giving off a calm and collected aura."
Lin'er was not very happy when he heard it, and muttered: "Which one looks like Lin'er?"
Nan Yang laughed, but before she could say anything, a sound of weapons clashing came from outside the tent.
Nan Yang's face darkened, she took out her sword, walked up two steps, and leaned against the tent flap. She then signaled Jin Xiaolou who was on the bed to keep quiet.
Jin Xiaolou hurriedly pulled Lin'er into her embrace, and the three little fellows laid closely on Jin Xiaolou's chest.
Nan Yang gently pulled open the curtain, causing the majority of the soldiers guarding outside to fall, all of them had their throats slashed by the blade, each death blow.
She inhaled a cold breath of air, just as she was about to retreat and stand guard by her wife's bedside, she heard a loud 'whack' sound, and the tent beside Jin Xiaolou's bed suddenly split apart.
A shiny steel blade came in from the outside.
Lin'er hurriedly buried his face into Jin Xiaolou's body. The infant in his arms was frightened, he opened his mouth, and the two of them started crying.
As soon as the crying started, he heard someone call out from outside, "It's over here!"
Nan Yang stepped forward, and with sword in hand, she stood in front of Jin Xiaolou. Just as the man holding the steel blade stepped into the tent, he was struck by Nan Yang's sword, and fell to the ground, bleeding profusely.
However, as the people outside kept rushing in, the tent behind Jin Xiaolou was suddenly opened up again.
Nan Yang slowly became weak and it was hard for him to resist. She hurriedly turned around and shouted at Jin Xiaolou: "Madam, quickly run!"
Jin Xiaolou had only just given birth to her, and was already weak and weak. Now, with strength that came out of nowhere, she stood up from the bed and carried a child in one hand and the Lin'er on her arm, then jumped off the bed and ran towards the outside of the tent.
What she didn't know was that someone was waiting for her to jump out.
As soon as he left, he was lifted up by someone on his back.
The man was a brawny man with a full beard, riding on a horse. With that lift, Jin Xiaolou flew to the side of the horse, and when his hand lost its strength, Lin'er fell onto the ground along her left arm, while Nian Er's left hand also fell.
The moment the child landed, he immediately burst into tears. Lin'er bent down to hug his brother, then raised his face to look at his mother. "Save mother!"
Nan Yang had just brandished her sword and cut open the person in front of him, hearing Lin'er's shouts, she immediately retreated, and immediately seeing the man with Jin Xiaolou bent down to grab the two children.
Nan Yang anxiously threw the sword in her hand out, the sharp sword tip grazed past Lin'er's back and Jin Xiaolou's face, and instantly stabbed into the man's wrist.
The man screamed in pain as he lifted his face, his eyes spitting fire. With his other hand, he flung Jin Xiaolou onto the horse in front of him and raised her bow to shoot at Nan Yang's chest.
Jin Xiaolou hugged Sier tightly, in a moment of desperation, she could only turn her head and bite the man's shoulder, regardless of how hard the man tried to hit Jin Xiaolou's back, she could not let go.
Just as Jin Xiaolou was dizzy from being beaten by the man, she vaguely heard that Gao Lang had brought his men over.
The man immediately panicked. He let go of his bow and looked at the two children on the ground in regret before waving his horsewhip and leaving.
"Master!" Seventh Elder! Madame is still there! Madame and Sier were kidnapped by that man! " Nan Yang ran up and carried a child in each of her arms. She chased after the horse for a while before crying out to Gao Lang, who had caught up to him.
