At the foot of the mountain, Yunwu Village, in the pitch-black night.

Clouds were rolling in the sky. The clouds were so heavy that they looked like they were about to collapse. Lightning would strike from time to time, creating a terrifying aura.

The entire mountain seemed to have sunken into the thick clouds, making Yunwu Village appear even smaller.

The formation in the sky was truly terrifying. In a small, narrow, and slightly trembling straw hut in Yunwu Village, a few people stood trembling in fear. On the dirt bed lay a frail pregnant woman.

The pregnant woman's face was pale. She was very skinny and looked very weak. However, her bulging stomach was shockingly big. A huge round bulge could be prominently seen under the thin rotten blanket.

"Lu… Lulu, you have to hang on. Don't close your eyes, don't close them…"

Beside the dirt bed, a middle-aged woman with her hair in a bun and a round face had tears in her eyes. Her voice trembled as she shouted at the pregnant woman on the bed.

"Plop!" An old woman among the people suddenly knelt on the ground and cried towards the sky. "Please, I beg the heavens. You can take my old life. Don't take away my daughter-in-law and the child in her womb. I beg the heavens to let my daughter-in-law and the child live. My son is no longer around. Nothing can happen to my daughter-in-law. Bodhisattva, please appear. Bodhisattva, please appear…"

The old woman trembled slightly, but she was sobbing loudly. Her voice was hoarse, making one's heart turn sour.

"Mother, the hot water is ready!" Outside the dilapidated door, another middle-aged woman ran in. She was tall and thin, but her limbs were strong and her eyes were clear.

She completely ignored the fact that she was drenched from head to toe due to the rain. The moment she came in and saw the pregnant woman on the bed, she clenched her fists and asked, "How's Sixth Sister-in-law?"

Pregnant women were in critical condition during childbirth, so they had already neglected the differences between men and women. Furthermore, the pregnant woman on the bed couldn't seem to hold on anymore… There were signs that she was going to die, so even all the men from the Guan family had entered the straw hut and stood beside the bed anxiously.

"She still doesn't have the strength…"

The round-faced, middle-aged woman shed tears. With tears in her eyes, she said sorrowfully, "Lulu, wake up! Don't give up…"

The men from the Guan family were overcome with grief and closed their eyes.

"Oh my! My daughter-in-law…" The old woman cried and fell to the ground.

There was a strong sense of grief in the straw hut.

In a daze, Ye Lulu opened her eyes and saw the unfamiliar straw hut. Before she could react, she felt her body weakening and the pain of childbirth.

A large number of memories flooded her mind, but she had no time to think about them. The first thing she realized was that she had to give birth to the child first.

The excruciating pain made Ye Lulu's weak body even more exhausted.

"Hot, hot water…"

Ye Lulu opened her mouth and spat out these words forcefully.

"Lulu's talking!" the round-faced woman quickly said. She wiped her tears and rushed forward. "Lulu, how are you?"

"Hot water, scissors, brown sugar, eggs," Ye Lulu grasped what little strength she had left and said quickly. "Mother… Mother and sisters-in-law, stay. Father and the others, go out…"

She had regained her strength and wanted to risk her life to give birth!

Upon hearing this, the men in the house immediately turned around and left the straw hut without the women saying anything, even though the straw hut was extremely small and stood in the middle of a large piece of barren land, and there was an unavoidable downpour outside.
