Chapter 489: I Give You the Rights to the Salt Mine

Over here, Nan Qinghuan and Moonlight were chatting, preparing to take her pulse, while over there, Moonlight had brought Rongdi and the others to a very wide lake.

This was a place Ying had visited before; he never imagined it would become a lake. It used to be a mountain peak—how had it turned into this? He stopped and gazed at the desolate distance. There was nothing here. What did Moonlight want them to see? "What are you showing us?"

Rongdi also felt something was off about Moonlight. "Moonlight, what are you showing us? There's nothing here."

"You two clearly don't understand salt. Beneath your feet is a massive salt mine. I've already had people surround it. Now it's mine."

"Yours?"

Ying sneered. "This is still on our Small Town's land. How is it yours?"

"I discovered it first, so naturally it's mine. But now I've figured it out. Since this salt mine is on your land, it's all yours. I don't want anything anymore. I'm pulling my people out. Whoever wants to do the salt business can do it."

"What? You're leaving? Why?"

Rongdi didn't understand why he would suddenly be willing to give up the salt mine, and even leave. Could he bear it? Moonlight gave a cold laugh and looked at the two of them. "I've only just realized that everything I did was wrong. I never thought that in trying to help my tribe, they would all be affected by Gao Family Salt because of me. Now that I've told you the location of this salt mine, I have no face to see my tribesmen anymore. I'm leaving first."

With those words, Moonlight turned to leave, but Rongdi suddenly called out to stop him.

"Stop. You've given us the salt mine. Where can you go now?"

Where could he go? The Na Shan Tribe was now empty, and he had already agreed to level the whole place for farming, turning it into a granary. Moonlight had grown up in the tribe; where could he go now? Moonlight sighed deeply. Where could he go? He turned his head, gave a bitter smile, and looked at the two of them. "Jiuzhou is vast; there's always a place for me. Don't ask anymore. I have no face to see my tribesmen now. I have to leave."

With those words, Moonlight turned to leave, but this time Ying called out to stop him. "Stop. If you're willing, you can also stay here with Rongdi, live here, and thrive?"

Hearing this, Moonlight was a bit moved, but he truly had no face to stay now.

Thinking about the things he had done, he felt foolish. This time he realized that Rongdi was the most suitable person to be the leader, while he himself really wasn't up to it.

"I'm sorry, Rongdi. I just want to leave now. I don't want to think about anything else. I'm leaving this to you. I'm going."

"Moonlight, Moonlight..."

Ying wanted to chase after him; after all, if Moonlight could stay and help him, he would be very welcome.

But this time, Rongdi stopped him. "Forget it, Ying. He won't stay. This man has been proud since he was young. He won't agree."

Hearing this, Ying gave up. Forget it.

Qinghuan was right. Everyone has their own aspirations. It seemed he was leaving out of guilt.

Still, that Moonlight would give them the salt mine here was something Ying found incredible.

Just as they were about to leave, Moonlight suddenly collapsed to the ground.

This sight made Rongdi's heart skip a beat.

"Moonlight!"

Dusk was falling, and candles burned brightly inside the Tulou.

After Aurora had examined Nan Qinghuan's body, she found it was indeed very troublesome.

Twins.

It really was twins.

Nan Qinghuan saw she wasn't speaking. "What's wrong, Aurora?"

"Aurora, how is Qinghuan?"

Beside them, Axi was also crouching, waiting for Aurora's answer. She never imagined Aurora was a female doctor, and that she could even tell Qinghuan might be carrying twins.

This surprised her. Why? Because usually only a witch could divine this through divination. Aurora was the chief of the Giant Tribe—how could she tell? Under the candlelight, Aurora's expression was also grim.

Nan Qinghuan put her clothes back down. She had actually guessed it too.

It really was twins.

"So, is my body okay?"

Aurora didn't have modern equipment here to check the fetal heartbeat; she could only judge by her own experience. She had just lifted Nan Qinghuan's clothes to look at her belly and confirmed it was correct.

"Your body is fine, very healthy. But a natural birth with twins might be a bit difficult."

Hearing this, Nan Qinghuan's heart skipped a beat. Yes, one was enough, but now there were two, and this situation could cause problems.

Usually... especially giving birth in this Remote Antiquity Era, she herself felt a bit agitated.

"Aurora, help Qinghuan. The children can't have any problems."

The children couldn't have problems. Axi was very worried.

She herself was heavily pregnant, and now she was even more worried about Nan Qinghuan's children.

Aurora gave her a glare. "You're a pregnant woman yourself; take care of yourself. Sigh, this wouldn't be a problem back in my place. At worst, if you can't deliver, I'll give you a C-section. But there's no operating room here, and the conditions aren't good. Nan Qinghuan, you need to be mentally prepared."

Aurora was a midwife. If she said it was troublesome, then it definitely was a bit troublesome. Nan Qinghuan clenched her fists and gritted her teeth. "I have to find a way to keep the children. This is Ying's hope, and my hope too."

Aurora was even more irritated. What kind of mess was this!

"Alright, don't look at me like that. Listen, I will definitely find a way to keep your children. Don't run around these next few days. I feel like your due date is coming soon."

"What? Coming soon?"

Nan Qinghuan grew nervous. If it was coming soon, she couldn't leave.

She had to start preparing for childbirth!

Just then, Rongdi's voice came from outside. "Qinghuan, come take a look at him. What's wrong with him?"

"What happened?"

Outside, Rongdi had carried Moonlight back. Moonlight had actually fainted.

Aurora didn't understand what was going on with them.

"Rongdi, what's wrong?"

"He fainted. Qinghuan, can you take a look at him?"

"Qinghuan..."

Ying also walked in. Seeing these two men looking anxious, Nan Qinghuan wondered if they had been fighting. "Let me take a look."

"She's about to give birth, and you still want her to see patients? Forget it, let her rest properly. Ying, you're about to become a father."

"What? Qinghuan is about to give birth?"

This aurora is a Dazui Ba, saying that after Nan Qinghuan was about to give birth, Ying wouldn't let Qinghuan see, but instead sent Dashan to find Youchao Xuan; now Axi also has a big belly and cannot be overworked.

So the treatment takes place on Youchao Xuan's shoulder.

Twilight drapes low, a bright moon hangs high.

When Youchao Xuan clears this moonlight, the moonlight opens its eyes and sees Nan Qinghuan.

"Are you awake?"
