Dharma Ring: Selling dung beetles at the border

Yatan Plateau, a grassland covered with thunder flowers.

Lightning strikes from time to time, and yellow flowers emerge from the thunder and lightning, with a little thunder and lightning.

A house was built here, with a tall and long iron needle on the top of the house. A sheepfold was built around the house, and more than a dozen sheep were raised in it.

Magri and Nok were living here at this time.

Lance Sanks found such a good place with beautiful scenery, fresh air, and fertile land. Few people visited it, but it was not far from several settlements of the Yatan people.

The only drawback is that you might get struck by lightning. Wuming followed Patch's advice and installed a lightning rod on the roof of the house to prevent accidents.

Wuming also came here holding a fruit basket to express condolences and visit the Magri couple. He was not at all anxious about dealing with the sealing issue of Menggert, just like he was dealing with Lani's affairs.

Isn't this place nice? Wuming put the fruit basket on Nok's bedside and said to Magri.

The location here is very good, very convenient. Magri held a bunch of meat in his hand, which he had just bought from a temporary village not far away.

This place is not far from the royal city, and the temporary village is basically filled with orthodox Rodel residents.

I'm sorry I can't get up to greet you. Nok said, stretching his body and looking a little painful.

Wuming looked at Nok's belly.

A few months later, Nok's belly was much bigger than before. It was only slightly bulging before, but now it is too big to be ignored.

Nok's night-like face was now a little pale.

Is it okay? Wuming asked, It looks bad.

Giving birth is such a hard thing, Nok said. It becomes ugly, with difficulty moving, nausea, dizziness, and occasionally severe pain. Did you think it was a simple thing?

Birth is much harder than destruction... Wuming said, If you need it, remember to contact us.

You have given us a lot of help. This place is very good. Daily supplies can be bought in the village over there. It takes less than half an hour to go back and forth. Magri said.

Wuming gave the communication disk to Magri and the two, ensuring that they could contact each other at any time and find the caravan.

Wuming stared at the huge and ugly belly:

Will it expand indefinitely?

I'm almost in labor, Noak said.

What do you mean? Wuming asked.

It's about to bear fruit, Magri said. However, this period is very dangerous. The child may be born at any time. If it is not treated in time, it will cause great harm to Nok.

What about the child? Wuming asked.

I don't know. Magri said, I only heard about it when I was outside the border area, but it doesn't matter what the child is like.

Magri was lying beside the bed, looking at Nok's face with a sad expression:

This unfortunate kid is draining Nok's life force. I have no feelings for him. It would be better if he died.

Nok gouged him out:

I have been suffering day in and day out for a year. Counting the working hours, it is equivalent to two years of normal salary. This does not include the part that drags you down. Do you expect that the results of such a long time of mine will be in vain?

Nok glared at his stomach:

If this unfortunate kid dares to die, I will beat him until he comes back to life.

If it's really so dangerous, why did you still give birth? Wuming was curious.

Is there any way? This is how life continues. Nok rolled his eyes, Split your soul, let the group expand, and then grow together.

It's a sacrifice like the sun. Wuming said, You are also great.

Magri was a little nervous:

Why don't we find a specialized midwife now and be on call at any time? I have no experience after all.

I have no experience either. Nok was also a little nervous. My previous teachers never taught me the details.

Are there any teachers who can teach this kind of thing? Magri didn't expect it.

This is a necessary education for women in the family. Nok closed his eyes and lay on the bed. But the only thing I teach is to lie down and leave the rest to others. Whether it is a wedding night or childbirth, That’s it.”

Nok opened one eye and glanced at Magri: It's easy for you. Before my country was destroyed, I was also a prince and aristocrat.

Magri scratched his head and chuckled, not knowing how to answer.

Wuming was also a little nervous:

What do you mean? Will it fail?

It's not that serious. Find a midwife at any time. It's not that easy to cause problems. Nok said, If there is a problem, it's not because of the prayers of the Golden Tree. The Golden Tree has good treatment.

Okay. Wuming made a decision immediately, Let's find someone and find the best professionals for you.

Wuming left the hut, preparing to look for talents. Within two steps, Magri followed.

Magri said: I'm with you.

Don't you have to take care of Nok? Wuming asked.

It was Nok who asked me to come, Magri said. She said you didn't seem to understand anything, so she asked me to follow you to check.

So you look down on me? Wuming said.

Then do you know who the midwife is? Magri asked.

Wuming rolled his eyes, thought for a moment, and said:

What Nok said makes sense, it's better for you to do it. Although there are specialties in the art, I don't understand it, but I can pay thousands of dollars to buy the midwife's ashes. By then, there will be real professionals who will be influenced by me. Come on. I’m applying here.”

Honestly, I'm embarrassed that you went out of your way to help us. Magri said, Why are you helping us like this?

I've lived a long time, and I've seen all kinds of tragedies, and I've been to all kinds of hells on earth. Wuming said, But I've never seen anything like this. I want to see it.

Wuming said: This is a good thing.

The village was not far from here, and Wuming and Magli arrived at their destination not long after walking.

There are many Rodel people here, and they took various servants with them when they left. There are so many talented people. Magri introduced Wuming, Since you said we are the first couple since the Broken War, we should be able to find many Free midwife.”

Magri and Wuming then started searching in the village together.

There are hunters, butchers, cooks, maids, and even musicians and painters raised by nobles.

But several people searched around but could not find the midwife.

Huh? Magri was a little confused, You could find everything in this settlement before.

It seems that this small village is still too small. Wuming said, Let's go to the larger settlements.

The nameless caravan now serves almost all the Rodel people, and is naturally very clear about the distribution of the large settlements in Yatan. He took Magri to the larger gathering places of the Yatan people.

After asking around again, there was still no midwife.

The two stood together, both frozen.

Wait, don't worry, our thinking must be too limited. Wuming held the helmet between his hands, Reverse your thinking, who said the midwife must be a woman, maybe she needs a man.

Just as he said, Wuming quickly found a yard, walked in, and found a man.

The man's clothes were a little dirty and he was probably a servant who looked after his master's home.

Can you deliver babies? Wuming asked.

Yes. The man replied.

Wuming was overjoyed and said to Magri who came over:

What did I say? You need to reverse your thinking!

Magri was a little unhappy: How can a man do this job...

It's important to save your life, why are you so picky? Wuming pulled the man, Follow us.

What are you going to do? The servant became nervous, I recognize you, you are the businessman, you want to kidnap me, right? Human trafficking is against the golden law...

I'm asking you to deliver the baby. Wuming said, giving the servant a money bag, One hundred thousand runes, is that enough? I'm probably busy...

Wuming looked at Magri.

Magri was also a little unsure:

A month?

Wuming said to the servant: One hundred thousand runes a month, and more if the time exceeds.

The servant's eyes widened and he immediately stuffed the money bag into his arms and said righteously:

There is indeed nothing wrong with my master. Since you are so anxious, I will go and help you.

We need talents like you. Wuming took his servants and hurried back with Magli.

The servant said: Actually, if I didn't know you, I wouldn't dare to come. Recently I heard that there are gangsters and swindlers in Yatan. They will trick people into the wild and kill them.

Magri is very concerned about this kind of news:

Is Yatan not safe?

I heard about it too. I heard that even the evil omen demon was alarmed. Some time ago, he took the night cavalry to catch criminals in the woods... The servant said the rumor.

The prisoner has been caught. Wuming said, Relax, I won't harm you. Just go about your work with peace of mind.

The servant was indeed very diligent in taking the runes. As soon as he arrived, he immediately ran to the sheepfold, bent down, and inspected the fat sheep one by one.

What are you doing? Wuming wondered, Why don't you go into the house?

Enter the house? The servant was also confused, Why do you want to enter the house?

People are in the house. Wuming opened the door and pointed at Nok inside.

But the sheep are outside. The servant pointed to the sheep in the sheepfold.

Wuming and Magli looked at each other. Wuming suddenly became cautious, glanced at the servant, and said:

May I ask, little brother, what do you do?

The servant said, I am a sheep herder.

The servant rolled up his arms and sleeves, full of confidence:

Don't worry, not only sheep, but I also know how to pick up wild boar calves. Adjust the position first, pull it out by the legs -

With a bang, Wuming's helmet hit his gauntlets. Wuming covered his face and whispered to Magri:

sorry.

What's wrong? The servant didn't understand.

Magri smiled bitterly: We need to find someone to deliver the baby.

Give it to someone? the servant was surprised, What nonsense are you talking about? How can anyone deliver a baby to someone?

Ah? Wuming looked at the servant, Yatan people don't have children... Oh, you really don't have children now.

Wuming couldn't believe it: Just because you don't have a baby, you have forgotten how to deliver a baby? Shouldn't this be a very important technique?

The servant was a little embarrassed: There is a golden tree tube to give birth to a child. People from the church are usually responsible for it. We don't learn this thing.

Wuming silently closed the door again quietly.

The servant tightened his arms:

Then this rune...

Wuming sighed: I can't let you run away in vain. I'll leave you ten thousand runes.

Wuming took away 90,000 runes, sent his servants away, and asked Magri: What should I do? Or... let the people who deliver pigs, cows and sheep come?

No. Magli refused.

Then I'll go look for the Golden Tree and see if there is a midwife in the royal city. Wuming said, If there isn't one yet, then go to the lake area to find one.

Nameless Pat Magri:

Leave this matter to me, you go and accompany Nok.

Wuming acted vigorously and left immediately. About three days later, he returned to Magri's hut.

Have you found it? Magli quickly invited Wuming into the room, and stared at Wuming with Nok.

Wuming sighed and shook his head:

None of them. Those who mastered the midwifery skills of the Golden Tree and Kallia both died in the Broken War. It is said that the Golden Tree's was killed by a black knife who sneaked into the royal city not long ago. Milie, who was responsible for the marriage. He does have relevant knowledge, but he is a turtle, he only has knowledge but no practical experience.

Wuming looked at Magli and Nok, seeing their expressions getting worse and worse.

If the two of them were nervous to death before, they are extremely nervous now.

How could this happen... Magri couldn't believe it, How could the border area change such a moral character...

Wuming said: I feel like you both know more about midwifery than the people in the border area. How did you know that?

Because we are the faded ones. Magri said dejectedly, Outside the border, it's not so outrageous.

Nok nodded: In my country, there is no such situation. But we have been sleeping in death for too long.

What to do now? Magri asked Nok, Forcibly? At least the golden tree's treatment is very powerful.

It hurts so much. Nok said, When the healing technique makes the wound heal at a high speed, you don't know how much it hurts.

Magri looked at Nok pitifully:

“Is it too late to have an abortion?”

Nok glanced at his big belly:

What do you think?

Magri was worried: What should I do...

Wuming said: How about...even though there is no midwife, Queen Full Moon at least has a lot of experience in giving birth, so let her give guidance as an experienced person?

Nok was noncommittal, thought for a while and said:

The technology in the junction area has been passed down through generations. Perhaps as long as we find the forces that still follow the ancient ways, we can find people who still master this technology...

Does such a force exist? Magri asked, The Golden Tree has wiped out all hostile forces, is there nothing left?

The ancient road... Wuming pondered for a moment, his eyes lit up, Yes, there is a place that may meet your requirements... I should say, it is very suitable for you.

Very suitable? Nok tilted his head.

Wait, wait until I find something. Wuming said.

Wuming immediately went back, rummaged through the boxes and cabinets, and finally dug out a portal from the squeezed debris.
