Looking at the Stars in the Grassland Chasing Love

Yan Zixing unbuttoned his armor, his chubby belly convulsed, and Tuoba Zhen also straightened up, convulsing.

He took off Tuobazhen's pants, and his expression changed.

Tuoba's lower body was already drenched.The amniotic fluid was mixed with blood, slightly smudged the clothes and pants, and the inside of the boots were wet.

"When did the amniotic fluid break? Zhen, how long have you been in pain?"

Tuoba Zhen let out a long groan, kicked his legs, endured the wave of pain, and then said intermittently: "When I fought with Ganmutu... I, I started to have a stomachache..."

At that time the battlefield was chaotic, Tuoba really only remembered the pain in his stomach at the beginning, but he could bear it.Later, they were scattered by the enemy army and fled all the way. When they were in the woods, they felt fluid gushing out of their back acupoints.Tuoba really wanted to hold back, but how could this kind of thing be controlled by him?By this time, I am afraid that the amniotic fluid has broken for more than an hour.

Because he was running on the horse all the time, the amniotic fluid flowed very fast, but Tuobazhen's acupuncture point was only opened more than five fingers, and the fetus could not be delivered at all.

Yan Zixing didn't know what to do, and suddenly remembered that there was still Dahuandan in his arms, so he quickly took out two pills and fed them to Tuobazhen.

At this time, the sun in the sky had begun to sink.

Three or four hours had passed since the start of the battle in the morning, the retreat at noon, and the flight all the way in the afternoon, and Tuoba really couldn't help feeling exhausted.

He grabbed Yan Zixing's hand, his facial features frowned, his thick eyebrows twitched into a ball, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Quick...quickly help me give birth to the child!"

Cold sweat broke out on Yan Zixing's forehead.

He didn't know anything about midwifery.Uji was there when Tuobazhen gave birth last time, and he just helped.The first half was fine, but in the second half he braved the snowstorm to go to the mountain to look for winter lotuses. When he came back, he was extremely exhausted. He didn't pay attention to how Tuoba really gave birth. He fell asleep after hearing the cry of the child.

He recalled what Uji did at that time, parting Kai Bazhen's thigh, saying: "Strength! Hard..."

Tuoba Zhen howled with the labor pain, and pushed down hard, but the acupuncture point was not fully opened, and the fetus did not move down at all.

Tuobazhen rubbed his belly back and forth, the pain was so painful that he didn't know what to do.

"Open, open how many fingers?"

"what?"

Yan Zixing was stunned for a moment before he understood Tuobazhen's words, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to probe, with a look of panic on his face: "I, I don't know...but I can almost reach in with my hand."

Tuobazhen's expression was distorted: "I haven't opened it yet, you, what force do you want me to use..." If it wasn't for saving energy, he would almost curse.The idiot!

Yan Zixing wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, feeling guilty, he asked for advice: "How far should you drive before you can use your strength?"

Tuoba really felt that his life was about to die, he gritted his teeth and said: "Ten fingers!"

Yan Zixing paused, supported his legs, carefully exposed his face from his high swollen belly, and said, "Ten fingers...about how much?"

Tuoba really moaned weakly: "Ah——"

Sweat fell on Yan Zixing's forehead again.

Tuoba really stretched his stomach and kicked his legs, a stream of liquid gushed out of his back acupoint again, he straightened his body, grabbed the grass root with both hands, and pulled it hard.

Yan Zixing watched his belly arch and arch, and the fetus inside was wriggling violently, and couldn't help but tremble with fear.

Tuoba really survived this wave of labor pains, grabbed the turf with all his might, and said, "You, your fist... the size, uh... uh-"

He straightened up and yelled again.

Yan Zixing was at a loss.

Mo Feng and Er Na were drinking water in the stream in front of them affectionately, lingering on their necks and rubbing each other from time to time.

Tuoba's labor pains were completely concentrated, wave after wave, almost without gaps.The amniotic fluid between the legs kept overflowing and soon dried up. The fetus was stuck in the hip bone and couldn't push it out.

Tuoba really thought of the pain that tormented him for nearly three days and three nights when Helena was born, and couldn't help but panic and fear.

"Ah Xing! Ah Xing..." He stretched out one hand towards Yan Zixing.

Yan Zixing quickly grabbed his hand.

"Ah Xing... I'm afraid..."

Yan Zixing's heart skipped a beat.Tuoba Zhen had never shown weakness before, but at this moment, there was a sense of fear on his face, and a pair of eyes stared at him anxiously and helplessly.

He calmed down and said firmly, "Don't be afraid! With me here, the child can be born!"

Tuoba really held his hand tightly, and seemed to feel relieved.

At this time, it was almost evening, and there was a whistling wind blowing around.

Tuobazhen's posterior acupoints finally reached the ten fingers, but the amniotic fluid has run out, and the child can only give birth.

This is the most painful method of childbirth. Tuoba really cried out in pain several times, his lower body became numb as if it was not his own, and he lost all sensation in his hip bones, but endless pain kept coming.

He hugged his huge belly and wanted to roll in pain.

Yan Zixing saw that his strength was getting weaker and weaker, but the child hadn't come down yet, and the sky was dark, so he couldn't see clearly, and he was very worried.

Tuoba really couldn't bear it anymore, grabbed his hand and said: "Push...help me push it down!"

Yan Zixing also knew that this was the last resort.Even if he didn't know how to deliver babies, he also knew that Tuobazhen's amniotic fluid was almost drained on the horse's back, and now it was exhausted. Without amniotic fluid, it would be even more difficult for the baby to get off.

He gritted his teeth and touched Tuoba Zhen's bulging belly.The belly was hard, as hard as a rock, and he knew it was the same when Helena was born last time.

With a heartless heart, he pressed down hard.

"what--"

Tuoba really yelled, straightened up, and almost threw Yan Zixing off.

Yan Zixing felt the pressure just now, the child visibly twitched and moved down, he couldn't help cheering up, and pressed his stomach again.

"No! No... ah—"

Tuoba Zhen waved his hands, trying to push Yan Zixing away, but Yan Zixing firmly pressed his stomach, and pressed down again as the belly became harder.

Tuoba Zhen's entire upper body bounced, almost passed out from the pain.

Yan Zixing didn't know how to deliver a baby, and he didn't know how to push a fetus. It was all squeezed out of a warrior's intuition. This kind of brute force without skill almost made Tuoba almost die of pain.

He breathed heavily, like a frog short of water, with a high protruding belly, and he could only pant.

Yan Zixing pushed hard a few more times, and Tuoba Zhen couldn't cry anymore, but his legs were kicked tightly, his hands kept grabbing the grass, and his fingertips were full of blood.

The fetus finally squeezed to the hole, and the weight of Tuoba Zhen's stomach was almost piled up to the lower body.

Yan Zixing went back between Tuobazhen's legs, and looked intently under the afterglow of the setting sun, and there was darkness at Tuobazhen's wide-open acupuncture point.

He stretched out his hand to touch it, and found a hard object with fluff on it, like a coconut shell tribute from the south.

He froze for a moment before realizing it, and shouted in surprise, "Head! It's the head! I touched the child's head!"

Tuoba Zhen was almost on the verge of death, lying there weakly, but when he heard his cry, he was refreshed and suddenly regained his strength.He propped himself up and pushed down with a huge pain.

"Heh-fufu...heh-"

His face was deformed, and his voice was hoarse like a tiger with a wounded head.

He kept exerting force, and in one go, he gave birth to the fetus' head after a few blows.

Yan Zixing didn't expect the child's head to come out all of a sudden, he couldn't help being panicked, he supported the base of Tuobazhen's thigh with both hands, and didn't dare to touch the dark head.

Tuobazhen was still suffering, breathing heavily.

"Ah--"

He struggled for another stick of incense before the child turned around at the narrow opening, revealing his small shoulders.

At this time, Yan Zixing finally came back to his senses, carefully caught the child's head and shoulders, followed by Tuobazhen's loud roar, and gently pulled it out...

The baby's loud cry resounded through the grassland.

At that moment, Yan Zixing was so moved that he wanted to cry.

This is the second child between him and Tuobazhen, and it is the child that Tuobazhen willingly gave birth to after he recovered his memory.

This is a healthy boy.Although she was born more than a month prematurely, the loud crying, constantly struggling legs, and bulging and panting chest all showed that the baby was healthy.

Yan Zixing wrapped the child in a cloak, and the umbilical cord slowly slipped out of Tuobazhen's body along with the placenta.

Tuoba really felt that his abdomen was still throbbing, but the crying of the newborn diluted everything.

He raised his body, stretched out his hand, and said hoarsely, "Boy or girl? Give it to me!"

Yan Zixing wrapped up the child, carefully put it in his arms, his face shone with joy, and said happily, "It's a boy, very healthy."

Tuoba really hugged the child in his arms, opened the corner of the cloak, reached in with his big hand and touched it carefully, the child was intact, it was a boy, he couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and lay down on the grass with the child in his arms.

Although the birth was difficult, compared with the birth of Helena, this child was much smoother, and it took only five or six hours to give birth.

Anyway, giving birth to a child is not without hardship, Tuoba really just felt scared, this child actually chose to have an attack when he was fighting fiercely on the battlefield, almost killed both father and son.

It was getting dark, Yan Zixing looked around, and saw a small hill not far ahead, which could barely shelter from the wind, so he picked up the weak Tuobazhen and walked to the leeward place.

"You rest here for a while, I will find some hay to light the fire."

Tuoba really said weakly: "I don't know where this is, whether there are any pursuers behind. Be careful."

Yan Zixing said, "Don't worry. I'll come back as soon as I go."

He picked up a lot of hay, and called Mo Feng and Er Na.

Both horses carried a lot of things on their backs, including dry food, dried meat, and water. Yan Zixing also brought a bag of spirits.

He went back with these things, and after seeing the hillside, Tuoba really hugged the newborn baby and fell asleep with his eyes closed.

Yan Zixing set up a bonfire neatly, crushed dry food and jerky, put them in a small pot, mixed some wine and water, heated them on the bonfire, and cooked a pot of rotten porridge.

Tuoba was really awakened by the fragrance.

Yan Zixing took two small woolen blankets from under the saddles of the two horses and placed them under Tuobazhen.

This is the habit of the Xijue people in winter, and they carry warm items with them.Fortunately, there were these things, otherwise Tuoba Zhen had just given birth, and if he stayed overnight in this weather, he would definitely suffer from the root cause of the disease.

"Come on, have something to eat."

Yan Zixing took the hot small pot, found a long wooden spoon from somewhere, and fed it to Tuoba Zhen one by one.

Tuoba really couldn't help but glanced at him, and said, "Did you bring these things with you during the march?"

Yan Zixing said, "What is this? Our Ming army still carried cauldrons when we went out. Those are infantry."

The corners of Tuobazhen's mouth twitched, it seems that the behavior styles of the two ethnic groups are really quite different.

The Xijue people fought and grabbed food wherever they went, and they only took a small amount of dry food with them. However, the Ming and Wen countries must set out with large armies, and the food and grass will go first.

Tuoba really drank a bowl of hot miscellaneous flavor porridge, and finally healed a lot.

He untied his cloak and looked into his arms, and saw his infant son's small mouth pressing against his chest, he couldn't help asking: "Is there anything I can feed the child?"

Yan Zixing also had a headache, thought for a while and said, "I'll dilute the dry food with water and make some paste to feed him. You...you let him suck your nipples first."

He thought that Tuoba would really be upset, but Tuoba really didn't say anything, he actually unbuttoned his inner jacket, and put the baby on his chest. Inhale vigorously.

"This little guy is really smart." Tuoba really laughed.

He was originally very handsome, but his nose bridge was too high, his lips were too thin, and his outline was too deep, which made him look too deep and sharp. However, under the light of the fire, his face showed a deep love, which came from the heart. His emotions softened his expression, which looked like a beautiful picture scroll, warm and timeless.

Yan Zixing's heart thumped when he saw it, and his mood softened involuntarily, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

He cooked a pot of messy paste carefully and had experience in taking care of Helena, so feeding the little guy who was waiting to be fed was very smooth.

The child was not noisy, he burped when he was full, and fell asleep in Tuoba Zhen's arms.

Tuoba Zhen was already drowsy at this time.

Yan Zixing sat next to him, let him pillow on his lap, and said, "Go to sleep, I will keep watch."

The next day was about to dawn, Yan Zixing woke up.

The bonfire had already been extinguished, and there was still some residual warmth. Seeing that the morning wind and dew were heavy, Yan Zixing lit the fire again.

Mo Feng and Er Na were grazing leisurely not far away, Yan Zixing whistled and called Mo Feng, rode it around the vicinity, Er Na followed behind.

Back to the habitat, I heard the baby crying from afar.

Tuobazhen has already woken up, saw him a little troubled and said: "He peed, your cloak is wet."

Yan Zixing frowned: "My cloak is big enough, let's cover him with a dry place, let's make do with it. We need to leave this place as soon as possible."

Tuoba Zhen also knew that he had to leave.

He had just given birth, and his posterior acupoints were not closed, and his lower body was throbbing with dull pain, but he couldn't care less about it at this moment.

Yan Zixing caught a few fish from the stream, cooked a pot of fish broth, shared the food with Tuobazhen, and fed his son with the fish soup. The two decided to leave this place and join the Xijue army.

Tuobazhen was experienced and very familiar with the grasslands. He speculated that they are now on the grasslands south of Dongjue. If they go west, enter the territory of Xijue and then go north, they should be able to join the army.

Yan Zixing looked at him struggling, and said worriedly, "You...can you ride a horse like this? Let me hold the child."

Tuoba really didn't insist, handed the child to Yan Zixing, and slowly climbed onto the horse.

The wound on his lower body was smeared with the best gold wound medicine. Yan Zixing even treated Da Huan Dan like candy, and let him eat several pills in a row. strength.

Yan Zixing stuffed the child into his arms and tied it with the lace of his cloak.The little guy weighed only two or three kilograms, and slept soundly in his father's skirt.

The two of them galloped westward along the creek, and had just traveled less than fifty miles when they heard the sound of horseshoes in the distance.

The faces of the two changed slightly.Tuoba Zhen suddenly became extremely agile, he got off his horse and fell to the ground, listened for a while with his ear on the ground, and said: "There are about a hundred people here, I don't know if they are enemies or friends."

Yan Zixing said decisively: "We can't take risks! You take the children and leave first, and I will stop them. If it is ours, I will come after you immediately. If not, don't wait for me, go back and join the army!" "

Tuobazhen opened his mouth to speak, but Yan Zixing had already jumped off the horse, stuffed the child into his arms, tied him up with a tie, pushed him and said, "Go!"

Tuoba really hesitated for a moment, carried the child onto the horse, and said: "If it's not ours, don't fight recklessly, come back quickly!"

Yan Zixing helped him hold the rein of the horse, stood on the ground and smiled, and said, "Don't worry, I know it well. Be careful yourself."

Tuoba really looked at his smiling face, for some reason, a sense of uneasiness and fear suddenly rose in his heart.

He lowered his head and took Yan Zixing's hand, and said in a deep voice, "Yan Zixing, I warn you not to fight desperately with the Dongjue people! Do you hear me? At worst, we will fight them side by side!"

Yan Zixing was stunned for a moment, and suddenly a warm and happy smile appeared, he took Tuobazhen's hand, rubbed it on his cheek, and said softly: "Azhen, I like to hear what you care about me. I love you, you know that?"

His eyes were bent, with deep affection in them, and a smile on the corner of his mouth. The sun shone on his handsome face, and the shallow scar on his forehead became dazzling.

Tuoba's heart moved, he looked at Yan Zixing seriously, and said slowly: "I know. I... I am the same."

He still couldn't say those nasty words, but this sentence undoubtedly showed his heart.

Yan Zixing looked at him fixedly, and said, "Ah Zhen, is it true?"

Tuoba Zhen paused, turned his face away with some embarrassment, and said in a rough voice: "Do you still remember what I said at the Amuda Conference that year? It is the same now."

Yan Zixing was stunned for a moment before he remembered what he meant.

That night, they slipped out from the bonfire party of the Amuda Conference and lay on the secluded grass. Tuobazhen once said to him gently: "It's like the stars on this grassland. How many stars are there? To you There are as many likes as there are.”

That was the only confession he made to him in this life.

Yan Zixing frowned with a smile.

Er Na ran forward quickly, Tuoba really turned around and looked back.

Yan Zixing sat on the ink wind, his back was straight, his figure was tall and straight, but his face was gradually blurred.

He seemed to be smiling, raised his hand and waved at Tuoba Zhen, then turned the horse's head gracefully, and ran towards the group of hoofbeats.

No matter how many years have passed since then, Tuoba really still remembers this scene.

The pain of being helplessly separated, unable to see the future clearly, and not knowing when to reunite, was like a machete piercing his heart, and as long as he thought about it, he still felt a twinge of pain in his heart.

He swore that he would never suffer the same pain again!

This year, the biggest war between Xijue and Dongjue was launched.The total number of soldiers and horses invested by both sides was more than 50. Starting with the provocation of Xijue, it lasted for more than four months.

It wasn't until early summer that the battle came to an end.

Dongjue won a big victory in the battle of Changshan Canyon.The Xijue retreated, the Great Khan was dispersed by the defeated army, King Youxian died, and King Zuoxian led the remnants of the army to gather at Moer Lake.At the moment when the Dongjue people were about to take advantage of the victory and pursue it, news came that Qin Ziye, a general of the Western Jue, had wiped out the Dongjue royal court.

After hearing the news, Gan Mutu and the eldest prince lost their wits. Their wives and children, as well as the families of countless soldiers, were all in the royal court.

Regardless of his son's dissuasion, Gan Mutu insisted on bringing the army back to rescue.But encountered an ambush on the way, the army was defeated, and tens of thousands of people were lost.

And because several tribes of different tribes in the Dongjue army had different opinions, two of them retreated halfway and returned to their own tribes, and the other two supported the prince and rebelled halfway.

Ganmutu broke with his son, Xijue took the opportunity to send troops again, and Tuobazhen, who was known as Bo Ta Tuhong on the grassland, personally led the army. Dongjue was finally defeated, Ganmutu died, and the eldest prince fled with the remnant soldiers.

After that, the Dongjue people were forced to retreat into Changbai Mountain, and the Xijue people began the era of dominating the grassland.

In June, the most grand festival on the grassland, the Amuda Conference begins.

This is the first festival after Xijue's great victory, and it is also the most important festival of the year. Everyone is rejoicing, and the entire grassland is filled with the enthusiastic and cheerful laughter of Xijue people.

But contrary to the lively atmosphere of the festival, the king's tent of the Great Khan was gloomy and solemn.

"No news yet? What are you guys doing for food? You can't find anyone, so why would Ben Khan want you!" Tuoba Zhen kicked over the low table in front of him and cursed loudly.

Zhao Ziling knelt on the ground innocently, with cold sweat dripping from his forehead.

Qin Ziye couldn't see it from the sidelines, so he winked and sent someone to rescue the soldiers. He stepped forward and said, "Don't be angry, Khan. The grassland is so big, it's not so easy to find someone. Why don't we send someone to Mingguo to ask?" , see what news they have over there?"

Tuoba really said irritablely: "Ben Khan has already sent people from the Ming country, and the news has already come!"

Qin Ziye said: "Khan, Yan Daren is auspicious and auspicious. He will be safe and sound. Sometimes there is no news, but it is good news."

Tuoba really thought about it, felt that there was some truth in what he said, and slowly calmed down, saying: "You all go down."

Qin Ziye hurriedly led Zhao Ziling back.

Tuobazhen sat down wearily, and Asuya came in with the little prince Wuyan in his arms.

"Sweating profusely."

"Teacher." Tuoba Zhen waved his hand, asking him not to be polite, and stretched out his hand: "Wu Yan, come to Father Khan."

Wu Yanyiyi oh oh, lying in Father Khan's arms, a pair of small hands clutching the agate necklace around his neck and not letting go.

Wu Yan has been four months old. Although she was born prematurely for more than a month, she has grown very strong.A pair of big eyes were dark and bright, exactly the same as Yan Zixing.

Tuoba really looked at him and thought of that person.After parting that day, there was no news of that person again.

What a big deal it is for the profuse Khan to get separated in the chaos?Zuo Xianwang and several generals sent people to look for it, and soon they found Tuobazhen who had returned in a panic.

After Tuobazhen returned to the army, he immediately assembled the soldiers and rearranged the arrangements to avoid the main force of the Eastern Jue, and at the same time spread the news that Qin Ziye had attacked the Eastern Jue royal court.

Then came the tug of war.

For the ethnic groups on the grasslands, from the end of winter to the beginning of spring, the most difficult thing is the problem of food and grass.Dongjue did not have the support of 30 stones of food and grass from the Ming Dynasty, so it was naturally inferior to Xijue's confidence.In addition, Ganmutu and his son turned against each other under Tuobazhen's secret plan, and finally fled in defeat after more than a month.

Tuoba Zhen returned victoriously and moved Wang Ting eastward for more than 1000 miles, occupying the center of the grassland.

However, several months later, there was no news of Yan Zixing.The pursuers he met that day must have been Dong Jue.

The worry and anxiety in Tuoba's heart can't be expressed in words, and he wished to go to find him himself, but he is the Great Khan of Xijue, so he must focus on the overall situation.Moreover, he led the army after giving birth, and he couldn't take good care of him during the battle. Although A Suya, a medical expert, was there, his health was not fully recovered until now, and he could not leave the royal court.

He regretted it to death.If he had listened to Yan Zixing's advice at the beginning, he would not have fallen into an ambush, and he would not have retreated with Yan Zixing, and they would have separated in the end.

Tuoba really hugged his son and kissed him, secretly praying and swearing in his heart.

As long as Ah Xing can come back, as long as he comes back, I am willing to do anything!

God, don't let Ah Xing have any accidents!

After this life and death, he finally understood Yan Zixing's position in his heart, and he didn't want to deceive himself anymore.
