Chapter 478: Using a Firewood Stick as an Eyebrow Pencil

Over here, two men were discussing the wedding, while over in the forest, Nan Qinghuan found a quiet spot by the river and sat down. Across the river, what used to be a forest had now been completely reclaimed into farmland. Spring had arrived, but since the spring of this Remote Antiquity Era was somewhat different from the modern one, even though the sun was already high in the sky, it still wasn't suitable for sowing. Many common people were digging the ground, loosening the soil, so that when the weather warmed up a bit more, they could plant seeds.

The earth was rapidly reviving. Looking around, tender green shoots were everywhere, lifting one's spirits just by looking at them.

The Aurora, seeing her big belly still worrying about everything, said, "I say, Nan Qinghuan, you're about to give birth, so stop fretting. Wouldn't it be better to just stay home and wait for labor?"

Nan Qinghuan shot her a glare but felt a bit suspicious. "How do you know I'm about to give birth?"

She suddenly realized she hadn't asked what this Aurora did.

Aurora was quite smug. She smiled, walked over to her, and glanced at her belly. "The fetal position looks normal, but I think you're carrying twins."

This left Nan Qinghuan stunned. "Twins? Who told you that?"

"I don't need to be told. I'm an obstetrician. Back home, I was a doctor at a maternal and child health hospital. One look at your belly and I know—twins, no mistake."

"What? You're a doctor?"

Nan Qinghuan felt she had made the right move. This Aurora was actually a doctor—that would make giving birth much easier.

"Yeah, I'm a doctor. Ah, don't even mention it. But what good does it do? I still ended up muddle-headedly in this Remote Antiquity Era, and now I've muddle-headedly taken a beastman as my man. Ah, I guess I'll be stuck here for the rest of my life."

"That Rongdi really likes you. I believe he'll treat you well. I knew from the moment I arrived that this man is especially devoted."

"That's true..."

Mentioning Rongdi, Aurora crossed her arms and walked over to sit beside her. The two of them stared blankly at the small stream. Aurora looked up at Nan Qinghuan. "You came to find me—what did you want to talk about?"

Nan Qinghuan let out a deep sigh. "I just wanted to ask what your plans are now. You've seen this small town—it will grow into a big city in the future. I think once you live here, you won't want to go back to your tribe."

"I've already thought it through. The first reason I'm taking Rongdi back is to steady the hearts of those clansmen—you know how many of them want me out. Second, with me around, the Giant Tribe can be firmly controlled and won't become your enemy."

This made Nan Qinghuan stare at her in surprise. This woman was really clever—she had actually guessed what she was thinking.

"What, surprised? Nan Qinghuan, I'm not one of those ancient women. Whatever intelligence you have, I have it too. Don't worry, I won't be stupid enough to fight a losing battle. You're right—since we're here, we might as well make the best of it. We're going to live well here, not just live, but live a good life. Nan Qinghuan, don't worry either. I'll take care of delivering your twins. I guarantee you and your children will be safe. How about that?"

Nan Qinghuan was about to say something when suddenly Dashan's voice came from not far away.

"Ohm! Great news! It's hatched, it's hatched!"

Dashan came in saying it was hatched, which left Aurora speechless. "Is there something wrong with this kid?"

"Dashan, explain clearly. What hatched?"

Dashan beamed with joy. "That egg, it hatched! It's a huge chicken!"

"A chicken?"

Unexpectedly, the wild chicken egg had hatched, and a giant wild chicken emerged from the shell.

This made Nan Qinghuan very happy. She immediately had Axi raise it.

Didn't chickens eat vegetable leaves and small insects? With spring, there were plenty of insects. She wanted everyone to raise this kind of chicken, so this chicken became the whole town's collective pet.

Settling into a leisurely life, Nan Qinghuan told the whole town, "Take good care of this chicken, and later everyone will get one egg." That way, the town would have endless wild chicken meat.

That day, the town was busy nonstop. When evening came, Ying of Ying Town suddenly announced that a wedding would be held that night. They would slaughter pigs and sheep to hold a grand wedding for Youchao Xuan and Rongdi.

The tribe's people held weddings at night, so they were following local customs. After the blazing bonfires were lit outside, there was roasted lamb and pork, and the atmosphere immediately picked up.

Since the clansmen came from all over, everyone gathered here to watch the excitement, sing, and dance, very happy.

Inside the Tulou, the two brides sat waiting to be made up.

The ancient people weren't very particular about weddings—just a ceremony would do—but Aurora felt wronged.

Why? There was no wedding dress, no bridal procession. This made her very disappointed.

"Ah, this is too shabby. We're going to get married in this?"

Nan Qinghuan was drawing eyebrows for Qingfeng. Of course, the tool was a burnt firewood stick. This thing worked pretty well for eyebrows, and there was also the lipstick. Last time, she had made an extra one that she hadn't sold, so she kept it for herself.

Unexpectedly, it could come in handy today.

After Nan Qinghuan finished drawing Qingfeng's makeup, Qingfeng had Axi bring a basin of water. When she saw her beautiful reflection, she almost didn't recognize herself.

"Goddess, I look so beautiful! I never knew I could look this good. Thank you."

Nan Qinghuan knew Qingfeng was sincere. "Silly girl, you and Youchao Xuan must be happy."

After saying that, she came over to Aurora. Aurora was very disdainful but had no choice.

"Nan Qinghuan, you're using this to do makeup?"

She was utterly disgusted.

Nan Qinghuan rolled her eyes. "You're complaining? This is the Remote Antiquity Era, not our hometown. Come on, this is already pretty good. If you don't like it, then don't do it. Go out like this?"

"Hey, don't! She got hers done, so I want mine too."

Nan Qinghuan couldn't help but laugh. This Aurora was pretty amusing.

She started drawing her eyebrows. When Aurora saw some scars on her arm, she felt a pang of sympathy. "Nan Qinghuan, what happened to your arm? Were you injured?"

Nan Qinghuan was startled. She then noticed some scars on her wrist. Though they had long healed, the scars wouldn't fade. She thought back to when she used to run away—these were injuries from that time. Later, after she and Ying made up, she stopped running and never got hurt again.

Ying protected her very well.

"Don't mention it. When I first arrived, I made some youthful, hot-headed mistakes and suffered some losses. If I had known that Ying and I would end up where we are now, maybe I would have chosen a different way of life. These scars—I'll just consider them tuition fees."

This piqued Aurora's interest. She had thought it was Ying who caused them—strange, she didn't think that man had a violent streak.

Although he looked very tough, she could tell that Ying truly treated Nan Qinghuan well.

"What happened?"
