Chapter 49 I will send you back after you give birth

She quickly noticed the person behind Hei Duo. The clueless little girl pointed at Jiang Li. “Brother, who is he?” He looks a bit unfamiliar. Jiang Li’s gaze met Xiao Yue’s for a second, she quickly ducked her head to avoid revealing any abnormalities. Hei Duo looked around, all the beastmen were immersed in the joy of getting food, no one noticed them.

 “Xiao Yue, let’s talk about it when we get home.” “Okay.” The Black Bear tribe’s homes were straw huts, but Hei Ze’s family’s was a bit dilapidated. Back home, Hei Duo gave the sack to Xiao Yue and told her to clean the fish meat first. Then he carried Jiang Li back to a room. There was nothing inside, only a straw mat bed, but it was clean and tidy.

A middle-aged woman was lying on the straw mat bed. The woman’s face was sallow, her lips were pale and cracked, her cheeks were sunken, and she had heavy dark circles under her eyes. She looked like she hadn’t eaten for many days, clearly malnourished. “Mother.” Hei Duo walked over and gently called out to the woman on the bed. The woman’s eyebrows moved slightly, as if she was using all her strength to open her heavy eyelids. “Xiao Duo, you’re back.

” Hei Duo nodded. “I brought back a lot of food, enough for us to eat for a while.” “Did you hurt anyone?” “No.” “Did you leave a note?” “Yes, I did.” The woman gently pulled the corners of her lips, revealing a relieved smile. “

That’s good. When the land produces grain, we must return it to them.” “Yes, I know.” Hei Duo glanced at the rice porridge in the bowl next to him, he frowned slightly. “Why didn’t you drink the porridge I made for you before you left?” The woman licked her chapped lips. “I wanted to save it for Xiao Yue to drink, she’s growing now.” “Mother, you haven’t eaten anything for two whole days, drink this porridge first, I’ll make fish for you and Xiao Yue after she cleans the fish.”

“Okay.” Hei Duo slowly helped the woman up, and with his other hand, he touched the bowl of rice porridge. The porridge was still warm, Xiao Yue must have reheated it. Hei Duo handed the porridge to the woman. “The porridge isn’t cold yet, you can still drink it.” The woman took the bowl of porridge with both hands, just as she was about to drink, she caught a glimpse of Jiang Li standing not far away. “Xiao Duo, who is this?

” Hei Duo was slightly stunned, following the woman’s gaze. “Ah? I brought her back from the Snake Tribe.” The woman was stunned, she looked Jiang Li up and down, then reached out and slapped Hei Duo on the head.

“You little rascal, you’ve learned from Xiao Liuzi! Stealing a woman back? Didn’t I tell you to wait until the family’s food can be harvested normally, and then I’ll find you a good girl, why are you so impatient?” Hei Duo winced in pain, rubbing his head with a look of grievance. “Mother, I didn’t…” “Still arguing! Look at how scared you’ve made her, she doesn’t even dare to speak after coming here! You’re always using brute force…” The woman kept nagging at Hei Duo.

Hei Duo hung his head in grievance, not daring to retort. He just nodded in agreement to whatever she said. “Auntie…” Jiang Li called out softly. The woman stopped talking and turned to look at Jiang Li. Seeing Hei Duo so wronged, Jiang Li also felt sorry for him, and spoke up to defend him. “Actually, I wasn’t stolen by him, he saved me.” “Really?” The woman looked at Hei Duo suspiciously. Hei Duo nodded repeatedly in affirmation. “

Mother, it’s true.” Jiang Li told the woman what had happened concisely. After hearing this, the woman breathed a sigh of relief and reached out to smooth her chest. “That scared me, I thought you had been with Xiao Liuzi all this time and had been corrupted by him.” Hei Duo pursed his lips, his eyes full of determination. “Mother, I wouldn’t do things like him.

” The woman ignored Hei Duo, instead, she happily waved her hand and called to Jiang Li. “Child, come here.” She moved her body to the side. “Come sit here, don’t tire yourself.” Jiang Li understood what the woman was saying. After all, she had experienced it herself, even though she was covering her belly with clothes, she could still see at a glance that Jiang Li was pregnant. Jiang Li nodded and obediently walked over. Before she sat down, she first asked the woman to drink the porridge. The woman smiled and agreed, quickly finishing the porridge.

Perhaps because she had the strength from the bowl of porridge, the woman’s complexion was noticeably better than before. “What’s your name?” “Auntie, my name is Jiang Li.” “Don’t call me Auntie, it sounds strange, everyone here calls me Qiao Shen, you can call me that too.” “Okay, Qiao Shen.” Qiao Shen looked at Jiang Li with a cheerful smile, her eyebrows and eyes were very similar to Hei Duo’s. “Your belly is quite big.

” Qiao Shen’s gaze fell on Jiang Li’s bulging belly. “It seems like it’s just these two days.” Jiang Li gently placed her hand on her round belly. She could feel it too, the baby in her belly was very active today. Having experienced it once, she could also feel that the birth was just two days away.

 “You must rest well these two days, my silly son is always clumsy, did he hurt you when he brought you back?” Jiang Li thought back to the way back, Hei Duo’s speed was fast but steady, he took good care of her on his back.

She shook her head with a smile and replied, “No, he took good care of me all the way here.” Hearing Jiang Li praise him, Hei Duo’s face turned red involuntarily. “That’s good, that’s good.” Qiao Shen paused slightly and continued, “Why don’t you stay here until after you give birth, and then I’ll have Hei Duo send you back. The Snake Tribe and our tribe have been at odds for a long time, if they find out, it won’t be good if they hurt the child in your belly.”

Jiang Li thought for a moment, feeling that Qiao Shen made sense, so she nodded in agreement. “Okay.” The clothes Jiang Li was wearing were taken from any Black Bear tribe member, they didn’t fit her well, and there were large patches of bloodstains.

 Qiao Shen quickly asked Hei Ze to buy two clean and fitting clothes. Here, food was more valuable than spirit stones. Hei Duo exchanged two fish for two clothes. After changing out of the dirty clothes, Jiang Li felt much more comfortable. Coincidentally, Xiao Yue had finished cleaning the fish. When she returned home and saw Jiang Li, the skinny girl became timid.

She ran behind Qiao Shen with the fish. “Mom, who is she? Is she the one brother carried back?” Xiao Yue only dared to peek out from behind Qiao Shen, looking up and down at Jiang Li. Qiao Shen patted her head. “Yes, Xiao Yue should call her sister.” “Sister…” she called out softly. Jiang Li smiled and responded. “My Xiao Yue is a little shy, don’t mind her, Xiao Li.” “It’s okay, Qiao Shen.” Hei Duo, who was working nearby, built a fire, took the fish from Xiao Yue, and started grilling the fish by threading it onto a stick.
