Nan Xiangtian and his wife, Nan Shi, were a pair of hunters at the foot of Mount Luori. They were honest and kind, friendly neighbors, and had lived at the foot of Mount Luori for generations, hunting for a living.
The Nan couple was already over forty years old, but they still had no children.
The Nan family was unable to give birth and felt ashamed. She had instructed her husband to take in another concubine to continue the Nan family's lineage, but Nan Xiangtian did not want his wife to be sad, so he did not agree. The status quo had been maintained until today.
At this moment, Madam Nan was sitting in front of the bronze mirror. Her husband had gone out hunting and had not returned. She was the only one at home now.
Madam Nan's skinny body was wrapped in a few thin clothes. She was dressed in ordinary coarse clothes, but her body displayed a different kind of beauty. Her delicate features and thin cheeks were a reflection of her beautiful face when she was young.
Their residence was extremely simple, even crude.
The bedroom was connected to the living room. There was only a simple stone bed and two tattered curtains in the bedroom. There was a dining table in the hall. There were pots and chopsticks for food. The stove for cooking was just outside the door.
It can be said that the city is surrounded by a desolate atmosphere, not covered by the wind and sun; Short brown hair, wearing a knot, bamboo ladle repeatedly empty! It was not too much!
A bronze mirror was practically the only piece of furniture in this thatched cottage.
Nan Xiangtian had traded the ferret fur he had hunted deep in the mountains for it at the market outside the mountains. He had almost lost his life for it. When Madam Nan found out, she was very angry. She scolded her husband while checking his body. She was only relieved when she was sure that her husband was not injured.
"If anything happens to you, how am I supposed to live alone? Fortunately, you came back safely." Concubine Nan buried her head in her husband's arms and felt exceptionally warm.
She felt very satisfied that her husband could do this for her. It was enough to be able to lean on such a man for the rest of her life! Although she was scolding him, she felt sweet in her heart.
"Don't say such silly things." Nan Tianmu was filled with tenderness as he caressed his wife's soft hair and comforted her.
……
Madam Nan looked at herself in the bronze mirror and recalled all the things that had happened in the past. She was moved, but she couldn't help but feel sad and tears streamed down her face.
"He loves me so much, but I can't continue his bloodline. Why do you want me to be so beautiful? I'd rather trade my looks for a child.”
Madam Nan sighed and pulled up the corner of her clothes to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes.
At this moment, Nan Xiangtian returned from hunting. He threw the aardwolves he had killed on the ground, placed his gun behind the door, and hung his bow on the wall. He said in a rough voice,""Mother, I'm back."
For many years, they had never had a child, but Nan Xiangtian was used to calling his wife like this. Every time she heard this, Madam Nan's confidence would increase greatly, but she was more touched.
"Xiangtian, you came back so early today. What a strong aardwolf. Fortunately, you did not encounter any danger.”Madam Nan looked at the ferocious aardwolf on the ground and said worriedly.
"Don't worry, a single aardwolf can't do anything to me!”Nan Xiangtian patted his chest loudly, letting his wife relax.
"Eh, what are you holding in your arms?”Madam Nan stood up and asked. However, his gaze did not leave Nan Xiangtian's arm.
"I was about to explain this to you, but I don't know where to start. I hope you don't blame me!”Nan Xiangtian's expression was very unnatural. He did not dare to face his wife's questioning gaze, like a child who had done something wrong.
"Silly girl, why would I blame you? Just tell me what it is.”In view of her husband's strange behavior today, Madam Nan realized that there was something unusual about this matter.
"It's a child. I picked him up while hunting, and I…intend to adopt him as my foster son. I hope you can understand my intentions.”Nan Xiangtian said in a trembling voice.
He didn't dare to look into his wife's eyes, fearing that it would hurt her weak heart. After all, this was an unspeakable scar between them.
However, the scene that Nan Xiangtian had imagined did not happen.
"It really is a baby, and a boy at that.”Madam Nan opened the leopard skin and saw a baby with smooth skin.
At this moment, Madam Nan's heart was already filled with indescribable excitement. The child she had been looking forward to day and night, she actually had it.
Although he wasn't her biological child, all she wanted was a child.
What she hoped for was to give her husband a chance to continue the family line.
That was all, he had no other requests!
This was also her hope as a woman.
Undoubtedly, the arrival of the baby boy would make this love even more complete and fill the family with color.
"I didn't ask for your opinion on this matter in advance. I was selfish.”Nan Xiangtian was still blaming himself.
"Silly, what did you do wrong? On the contrary, I should thank you for making such a correct decision for me.”
"Are you really willing to accept him? You really won't blame me?"
"I believe that all of this is the will of the heavens. Could it be that the heavens are pitying us?”Madam Nan was so excited that tears welled up in her eyes."He brought new hope to our family! This is a gift from the heavens."
"Do you really think so?" Nan Xiangtian looked at his wife's happy expression and finally let go of the stone that was weighing down on his heart. She swept away her previous worries and turned to carefully size up the boy.
The baby boy's chubby little face was flushed red, making people feel a sense of cuteness. The most fatal thing was that the baby boy, who had woken up at some point, did not cry. Instead, he waved his fat and tender hands at the couple and laughed.
"Look, he's actually waving at us and smiling at us!”Madam Nan couldn't help but say in surprise.
It was as if the baby boy had met them before.
Although it was the first day they met, there was an indescribable feeling in his heart.
For a moment, the Nan couple were immersed in the joy of regaining their son.
……
Day after day passed. No matter if it was spring, summer, autumn, or winter, Nan Tiantian insisted on going up the mountain to hunt every day. The livelihood of his family fell on him alone.
He had no complaints about this, and his life was even more fulfilling than before.
In terms of daily life, Nan was in charge of the outside world, while Nan was in charge of the inside world. They were responsible for taking care of the family and internal affairs. Of course, the Nan family was the only one who could take care of the baby boy.
However, the Nan couple's family did not become happy because of the addition of a male. On the contrary, the two of them frowned all day long.
The baby boy had mysteriously fallen into a deep sleep. Several days had passed, but there were no signs of him waking up. The Nan couple were in a constant state of panic.
The couple were afraid that the baby boy would die prematurely, so they visited famous doctors nearby, but they could not find out the cause of the disease.
In view of the baby boy's bizarre background, they did not dare to make too much noise for fear of causing an undeserved disaster. They even stopped looking for doctors and asked for medicine. They could only quietly guard the baby boy's bed and pray that he would wake up as soon as possible.
Although the baby boy didn't eat or drink, he didn't show any signs of life exhaustion. Instead, his face became ruddy.
Seeing this, the Nan couple's hearts calmed down a little. Although they were full of doubts, the fact that their child was still alive was already their greatest comfort.
