Chapter 315 Beautiful Spider Spirit VS Cold and Ascetic Monk 19
The melodious bell sounds of Wanfo Temple penetrated the silence of the back mountain, but seemed unable to calm the waves in Xuanji's heart.

In Lianhua County, in a house near Baichuan Academy.

The sunlight shines through the sparse clouds, dappling onto Yu Yao's increasingly round belly, reflecting the glory of motherhood.

Time passed quietly, and her belly grew like a balloon, and in the blink of an eye it was already more than eight months.

It's only a few days until September.

Every time she was pregnant with twins, the babies were born at exactly nine months.

Based on past experience, she invited two midwives to live in her home a few days ago. Both of them were extremely experienced midwives in Lianhua County.

The delivery room and all the supplies needed for delivery, including things to be used after the baby is born, were prepared early.

"Ma'am, how are you feeling today?"

Aunt Zhou came over with a bowl of warm chicken soup and asked softly.

The lady treated her family very well, never treating them as slaves, and always showing them great respect.

Living here, Aunt Zhou feels very at ease. She has already regarded this place as her home and takes care of her wife as if she were her own daughter.

Of course, Aunt Zhou is aware of her status and will not break the rules.

Yu Yao took the chicken soup from Aunt Zhou with a smile and took a sip. It was warm but not hot, the temperature was just right, fragrant but not greasy, and tasted great. It was obvious that it had been simmered for quite some time.

"I'm fine, Aunt Zhou, don't worry too much. It's just that the two little ones in my belly seem to be more active than usual."

Goudan stood by with his eyes wide open, looking at her belly with curiosity, and stroking it gently with his little hands, as if he could feel the rhythm of life inside.

"Ma'am, can they really talk? I heard from grandpa that twin children are very smart."

She was amused by Goudan's innocence and gently touched his head. "Yes, they can talk and call you. But now they are still trying to grow up. When the time comes, you will be able to hear their clear cries."

Goudan tilted his head, his eyes sparkling, "Madam, when will they come out? I really want to see them soon."

Then he added expectantly, "When they come out, can I take them to play with me? I'll give them my favorite wooden horse to play with."

After saying this, an innocent and bright smile appeared on his face.

The child's smile was the most innocent. She seemed to be infected by Goudan's smile, "Soon, when they come out, you can play with them. They will definitely like you as their little brother."

After drinking the chicken soup, Yu Yao felt a little lazy.

It was almost evening and a gorgeous sunset glow appeared on the horizon.

She didn't want to stay in the house all the time, so she said, "Goudan, come with me for a walk in the yard."

Goudan nodded obediently and carefully helped her to the yard.

The courtyard in the evening was shrouded in soft afterglow, and the breeze brought bursts of floral fragrance.

She gently stroked her bulging belly and couldn't help but think of the child's father, Xuan Ji.

She knew that Xuan Ji was in seclusion to atone his sins and to forget the entanglement between them.

This man probably doesn't know that she is pregnant and the baby is about to be born.

I wonder what his expression would be if he knew he was about to become a father?
Are you at a loss, terrified, or full of surprise?

Or maybe you put your hands together and keep repeating: Amitabha, what a sin, what a sin?
Yu Yao didn't know either.

She would not take the initiative to go to Wanfo Temple to tell Xuan Ji about the child, so as not to add psychological burden to him and affect his practice.

Of course, if Xuan Ji ever came down the mountain and accidentally discovered it, she would not hide it.

Xuan Ji is a high-ranking Buddhist monk who has long been deeply rooted in Buddhism. He has been dedicated to subduing demons and monsters for several years, so it is almost impossible for him to return to secular life.

Yu Yao never had any extravagant expectations, and didn't want to force it.

Let everything take its course.

When their children are born or grow up, if they ask about their father, she will tell the truth.

If they want to go to Wanfo Temple to recognize their relatives or meet their father, it’s up to them. She won’t interfere.

Yu Yao stood in the yard, looking at the sunset gradually disappearing in the sky, her thoughts as complicated as the changing clouds.

Goudan watched quietly from the side, not saying a word.

Although he was young, he could feel that the lady must have something on her mind at the moment.

After a while, she came back to her senses and patted Goudan's shoulder gently, "Let's go back to the house."

The two returned to the house.

Yu Yao remembered that there was still a lot of chicken soup left, so she said to Aunt Zhou who was busy at the side: "Aunt Zhou, you guys should drink the remaining chicken soup in the kitchen, don't waste it."

Aunt Zhou stopped what she was doing and looked at her, quickly waving her hands and saying, "Madam, you can't do that. This is specially prepared for you."

She waved her hand indifferently and said, "It's okay. I don't want to drink today." She sat on the couch and read a script for a while. Seeing that it was late at night outside, she washed up and lay down on the bed to sleep.

As the days passed, Yu Yao could feel her belly beginning to drop, and she realized that she was about to give birth.

"Aunt Zhou, have the beddings been exposed to the sun? And the mugwort should be used to fumigate the delivery room."

Although this body is a demon and it is her first time giving birth, she herself is very experienced in childbirth and is not panicking. She gives orders very calmly.

"Madam, rest assured. I have checked it several times and everything is in order."

Aunt Zhou answered with a smile, holding a few baby underwear in her hands. The fabric was soft and the stitching was very delicate. They were made by the lady herself. Now that the sun was shining, it was a good time to take them out and dry them in the sun.

Yu Yao nodded slightly, feeling a little relieved.

She stroked her belly gently, feeling the movements of the two little ones, as if she was communicating with them silently.

As time went by, the atmosphere in the house became more and more solemn.

The midwives were on standby at all times, and Goudan also stood by obediently, not daring to make any loud noise.

She rarely sits still now. Whenever she has free time, she walks around in the yard holding her belly. This way, the delivery will be smoother.

As the night deepens, the moonlight is like water, gently sprinkling on the window frames of the house.

Yu Yao lay on her side on the bed and closed her eyes to sleep. In the middle of the night, she heard a slight sound, as if something broke.

Immediately afterwards, a large area of ​​the bedding underneath was wet.

Knowing that her water had broken, she did not panic, but shouted loudly outside: "Aunt Zhou, I think I'm about to give birth."

Aunt Zhou lives next door to her and can hear any noise that is a little louder.

I’m afraid she’ll suddenly start an attack at night and I’ll be too late.

Aunt Zhou, who lived next door, was startled when she heard the noise.

She quickly got up, put on her clothes, opened the door and ran out, shouting as she ran: "Midwife, midwife, come quickly, the lady is about to give birth!"

When the two midwives heard that the baby was about to be born, they hurriedly got out of bed and rushed over to Yu Yao.

"Ma'am, don't be afraid. I'm here." The midwife said as she checked her condition.

Then, he asked Uncle Zhou and Aunt Zhou to prepare hot water and clean towels.

The two midwives carefully checked the fetal position and were relieved to see that the baby was in the correct position.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Yu Yao quietly took a painless childbirth pill.

As she took the pill, she could clearly feel the pain was much relieved.

Two midwives were instructing her and shouting, "Madam, use more force..."

Outside the delivery room.

Uncle Zhou and Aunt Zhou were pacing anxiously outside the door, their eyes full of worry.

Goudan squatted on the threshold, staring at the door of the delivery room, his little eyes full of fear.

"Grandma, do you think Madam will be alright?"

Goudan's voice was a little trembling. Although he was young, he knew that it was dangerous for women to give birth.

In the past, it was common for women in the village to die after giving birth to younger brothers or sisters.

"May the Buddha bless such a good person like my wife, and both mother and child will be safe."

Aunt Zhou clasped her hands together, muttered something, and looked very worried.

In the delivery room.

A clear cry pierced the night sky, and the first child came out soon.

The midwife picked up the baby with surprise, cut the umbilical cord, washed it with warm water, and wrapped it in a blanket.

She smiled and said to Yu Yao: "Madam, it's a strong boy!"

She smiled weakly, and then her stomach ached and she cried again. The second child was born safely.

She is a pretty girl.

Both midwives were extremely happy.

One of them brought the children to her and showed them to her, saying in surprise, "Madam, they are a pair of healthy twins, a boy and a girl. They are both very beautiful. You are so lucky."

But in my heart I was thinking that the child is well-grown and looks smart and healthy, but it's a pity that he was born without a father and has to be raised by his mother alone, and I don't know what his future will be like.

Fortunately, this family seems to be wealthy, so at least they don’t have to worry about food and clothing.
