Chapter 200 Delivery
From that day on, Huang Yaoshi also stayed, discussing martial arts with Duan Zhengchun over wine every day, and sparring with Duan Zhengchun many times. Then he was surprised to find that he was no longer Duan Zhengchun's match.
He couldn't believe that someone's martial arts skills could improve so rapidly; he was simply amazed.
With Huang Yaoshi's arrival, the already cramped dilapidated temple felt even more crowded at night when sleeping.
There are some things that Duan Zhengchun had to give up.
Three days later.
"Grandpa?!"
"Uncle Yin?!"
"Something terrible has happened! Come quick!"
Early in the morning, Duan Zhengchun, who had slept on the roof of the dilapidated temple all night, suddenly opened his eyes. After frowning and listening to the sounds coming from his ears, he hurriedly jumped down.
Inside the room, Huang Rong clutched her stomach with one hand and gripped the edge of the bed tightly with the other, her face contorted in pain.
Guo Fu stood helplessly by the bedside, not knowing what to do. All she could do was take a silk handkerchief and keep wiping the sweat from Huang Rong's forehead.
"She's about to give birth!"
Huang Yaoshi frowned, his expression grave.
"Oh? Really?! I'm going to have a younger brother or sister?!"
Upon hearing this, Guo Fu finally understood and asked with delight.
"But the conditions here are poor, and there are no doctors or midwives. What should we do?!"
Huang Yaoshi frowned and said with a solemn expression.
"I'll go and invite them right away!"
Duan Zhengchun said something and quickly walked outside.
"Brother Yin, it's too late! You won't be back for several hours, and Rong'er can't wait any longer!"
"Things have come to this point, and I'm afraid we can only rely on you!"
Huang Yaoshi immediately turned around and called out to Duan Zhengchun, looking on with anticipation.
"I?!"
Duan Zhengchun froze on the spot, his eyes widening in surprise.
He had never experienced childbirth before! He had absolutely no idea what to do!
"That's right, Fu'er is still young and doesn't understand these things at all. My status makes it inconvenient for me to do this, so I can only rely on you!"
Huang Yaoshi looked at Duan Zhengchun seriously and said with certainty.
Duan Zhengchun looked at Huang Rong with a troubled expression, suddenly becoming very nervous. Having lived two lives, when had he ever experienced such a scene?
"It's okay, I'll teach you!"
"Fu'er, quickly go fetch a basin of water..."
Huang Rong hesitated for a moment, as if she had made a great decision, and then spoke directly.
There's no better way now.
"I'll go to the nearest village or town to find some things that newborn babies need!"
Huang Yaoshi left behind a message and quickly departed.
Immediately afterwards, everyone went about their duties, and Guo Fu was quickly dismissed by Huang Rong. Then Huang Rong personally taught Duan Zhengchun how to deliver a baby.
After all, she had already given birth once, so she knew a little bit about it.
This time, she had absolutely no privacy in front of Duan Zhengchun.
"Wah...Wah..."
After an incense stick had burned for a while, the sound of a baby crying finally came from the inner hall.
"Born! Born!"
Guo Fu jumped up excitedly in the outer hall, her face beaming with joy.
Huang Yaoshi, who had been on his way, finally breathed a sigh of relief and smiled broadly.
"Wait, why do I hear two crying voices?"
Immediately afterwards, Guo Fu listened intently with a puzzled look, and muttered to herself in confusion.
Huang Yaoshi also understood, and couldn't help but show a hint of joy.
Soon, Duan Zhengchun lifted the curtain at the door and came out from the inner hall. After glancing at the excited grandfather and grandson, he slowly smiled and said, "Congratulations to you two, you are twins. You can go in now."
Upon hearing that Huang Rong had given birth to twins, Huang Yaoshi and Guo Fu were immediately filled with excitement and quickly entered the inner hall.
Duan Zhengchun breathed a sigh of relief, slowly sat down at the table, picked up the wine gourd on the table, tilted his head back and took a few big gulps, his hands trembling slightly.
He was also very excited, especially when he saw the two new lives slowly appear before his eyes; he felt that moment was incredibly sacred.
He suddenly longed to have a child of his own.
After dinner, everyone gathered in the inner hall because they faced a difficult problem: they had to name their two children.
Originally, this matter should have been discussed after Guo Jing arrived, but since Guo Jing was late in arriving and Duan Zhengchun had to take care of the delivery, Huang Yaoshi was already somewhat dissatisfied, so he decided not to wait any longer.
"Brother Yin, do you have any good suggestions?"
As Huang Yaoshi paced back and forth, he turned to look at Duan Zhengchun and asked with a smile.
Duan Zhengchun gazed affectionately at Huang Rong lying in the bedding, smiled gently, and said earnestly, "This is my sister-in-law's child, so naturally she should choose the name herself. How can I, an outsider, presume to do so?"
Upon hearing this, Huang Yaoshi immediately waved his hand and said, "What are you saying? I've already said before that we're like family, so why are you being so formal?"
Duan Zhengchun smiled, but still shook his head in refusal.
The name of a child is of great importance to every parent; it is a sacred moment that they do not want to take away.
"These two children were delivered by Brother Yin himself. You gave them their lives. If you don't mind, why not adopt them as your godson and goddaughter? What do you say?"
Huang Rong looked at Duan Zhengchun gratefully and spoke gently, her words seemingly mixed with complex emotions, but only Duan Zhengchun could perceive this complexity.
"Very well, since my sister-in-law has spoken, I will naturally accept."
Duan Zhengchun hesitated for a moment, then smiled and nodded.
He knew that Huang Rong was using this incident to tell him that the matter before had come to an end.
"What about the child's name? Have you thought of one yet?"
Huang Yaoshi looked at Huang Rong impatiently and couldn't help but ask a question.
Huang Rong nodded and said thoughtfully, "Let's name our daughter Guo Xiang. I hope she grows up peacefully and happily, without any disasters or difficulties."
Huang Yaoshi hesitated and said, "Xiang? Xiangyang? Guo Xiang?! Good, a good name!"
Upon hearing the name Guo Xiang, all three present nodded in approval. Huang Rong, as expected of a well-read person, even chose a name with profound meaning.
Duan Zhengchun looked at Guo Xiang lying in her swaddling clothes with affection, his eyes full of love. Of the two children, he liked Guo Xiang the most.
Although she was only recently born, Guo Xiang already showed some resemblance to Huang Rong in her features.
"What about the boy?"
Huang Yaoshi continued to press for answers.
Huang Rong turned her head and glanced at her son, gently fiddling with his little feet, and said softly, "I want to leave the name of the boy to Brother Jing. He has always wanted a son, and now his wish has finally come true!"
"If he knew, he would be very happy."
Upon hearing this, Huang Yaoshi couldn't help but let out a soft snort, a clear look of displeasure flashing across his face.
Standing to the side, Duan Zhengchun felt very uncomfortable. Every time Huang Rong cared about Guo Jing, it made him jealous.
Two days later, Guo Jing finally found the mountain by following the marks left by Huang Yaoshi and arrived at the Mountain God Temple, accompanied by Wu Santong, Zhu Ziliu and others.
Looking at his wife lying on the bed and the two babies in swaddling clothes, Guo Jing's eyes reddened, and he was so moved that he almost cried.
Huang Yaoshi snorted coldly and turned around, clearly still harboring resentment.
Huang Rong smiled and gestured to Guo Jing, a hint of helplessness in her eyes. She knew her father wasn't really angry, but just felt sorry for her.
“Father-in-law, please forgive me. I did not mean to be late. It is just that the attack on the Mongol camp resulted in heavy casualties, and I have to take care of the aftermath.”
"However, I had already learned that Rong'er had been successfully rescued by Lingxiao Sword Demon before this, otherwise I would never have dared to be negligent!"
Guo Jing turned around, bowed respectfully to Huang Yaoshi, and said apologetically.
"Forget it, let's properly thank Brother Yin. He personally delivered both children. If we had waited for you, who knows when we would have gotten them!"
Huang Yaoshi waved his hand impatiently.
Guo Jing gave a wry smile and said no more. He knew that his father-in-law had always been like this, so he turned to Duan Zhengchun, who was standing silently at the back.
"Brother Yin, you have saved Rong'er time and time again. If it weren't for you this time, the consequences would have been unimaginable. I won't say more about my gratitude."
"From this day forward, no matter what it is, as long as you ask, I, Guo Jing, will do anything for you, even at the cost of my life!"
Guo Jing clasped his hands in a salute, his face full of gratitude.
"Brother, you flatter me. There's no need for thanks between us."
Duan Zhengchun smiled, clasped his hands in return, and said earnestly.
He also felt guilty towards Guo Jing, after all, he had kissed his wife a few days earlier.
Lying on the bed, Huang Rong looked at her husband and Duan Zhengchun standing opposite each other, her heart filled with mixed emotions. She could only force herself to forget the events of the past ten days...
