Chapter 276 Pregnancy and Child Affect
Chapter 276 Pregnancy and Child Affect
Just as things were getting back on track for Zhou Qiao, Daiyu sent a message, and Lin Liuyi quickly went to contact her.
"Little sister, what's wrong? Did something happen?"
"No, it's because the Great Sage and his companions have arrived in the Women's Kingdom, and they specially invited you to come and see them, Sister! Look, Tang Sanzang and Pigsy are both heavily pregnant!" Daiyu covered her mouth and chuckled.
Alright, it's good that everything's alright. But she really is a mischievous Lin Daiyu! She enjoys watching this kind of commotion!
Lin Liu saw on the other end of the video that Monkey King was helping Tang Sanzang and Sandy was supporting Pigsy. The two men, who were crying out and had protruding bellies, were in so much pain that their faces were unrecognizable. They went into the thatched hut and sat down.
"Look, I told you not to drink the river water, it's filthy!"
"Oh dear, Monkey King, stop lecturing me! Go and fetch a doctor to take a look at me!" Pigsy cried out from the side.
Before Wukong could speak, the old woman in the house said, “This is the Western Liang Women’s Kingdom. Our country is entirely populated by women, with no men at all, which is why we are so happy to see you. The river your master drank from is called the Mother-Child River. Outside our city, there is a Welcoming Sun Inn, and outside the inn’s gate is a Pregnancy-Illuminating Spring. The people here only dare to drink the river water when they are over twenty years old. After drinking the water, they feel abdominal pain and become pregnant. After three days, they go to the Pregnancy-Illuminating Spring at the Welcoming Sun Inn. If they see a double image in the reflection, then a child will be born. Your master and junior brother drank the Mother-Child River water, and thus became pregnant. They will give birth soon. What can the doctor do?”
"Ah, so I, Old Pig, am pregnant!" Pigsy was stunned upon hearing this.
He quickly touched his stomach and felt something like a clump of blood and flesh moving around inside. It was his baby!
Tang Sanzang was also stunned. How could he possibly have a child?
Bajie swayed his hips and groaned, "Oh dear! I'm a man, how can I possibly give birth!"
Monkey King laughed and said, "As the ancients said, a melon will fall when it is ripe. When that time comes, it is possible that a hole will crack open under its ribs and it will crawl out."
Upon hearing this, Pigsy was terrified and trembled with fear: "It's all over, it's all over, I, Old Pig, am definitely going to die!"
Then he pulled Monkey King aside and told him to find a good midwife to prepare in advance.
Sha Wujing also smiled and told Zhu Bajie not to be in a hurry.
Lin Liuyi and Lin Daiyu couldn't stop laughing when they saw Pigsy holding his belly and awkwardly asking Monkey King to find him a midwife.
At this moment, Tang Sanzang hummed and said, "Grandma, do you have a doctor here? Let my disciple go and buy an abortion pill and get rid of the fetus."
"That Tang Monk is such a hypocrite! A fetus is a life too! Didn't you hear that Pigsy was thinking about giving birth to the child, but he's talking about abortion? Humph, he says monks don't kill, no wonder his parents threw him into the river." Daiyu hated this hypocritical Tang Monk to death.
Sure enough, after the old woman mentioned the Abortion Spring, Tang Sanzang urged Monkey King to go and fetch it.
"You damned monk! Didn't you hear that old woman say there's some kind of immortal named Ruyi over there? He's done all the dirty and hard work for my Great Sage!" Daiyu tore her handkerchief angrily.
While fetching the abortion spring, Monkey King comforted Daiyu.
"It's alright, little sister. I, Old Sun, am quite formidable. He's just a Taoist priest. Watch me take him down with one blow!"
As expected, Wukong fought with the Ruyi Immortal's hook and staff, but unfortunately, the Ruyi Immortal used a dirty trick and threw the bucket into the well. Helpless, Wukong could only go back to find his junior brother Sha.
"Brother Sha!"
"Senior Brother, have you brought back the spring water?"
Wukong entered and explained the situation. Upon hearing that the spring water had not been retrieved, Tang Sanzang's expression immediately turned sour: "Disciple, what will we do without this spring water?"
"What to do? Give birth! What's wrong, Master? Didn't you say that monks can't kill?" Pigsy interjected.
Upon hearing this, Tang Sanzang's expression changed drastically.
“Master, don’t worry. This time, Brother Sha and I will definitely be able to get the spring water to save you!”
"But if you two leave, who will take care of us?" Tang Sanzang didn't want Sha Wujing to go.
"Master, do you want Junior Brother Sha to take care of you, or do you want to go fetch spring water?" Wukong was also annoyed.
The old woman took the opportunity to say that her family could take care of the two of them.
Wukong and Sha Wujing then took the bucket and rope to fetch spring water.
The old woman then took out a bucket from behind and tied a rope to it, and handed it to Sha Wujing.
Fortunately, they successfully retrieved the spring water and returned.
When the two returned, they saw Pigsy leaning against the doorframe, groaning with his belly sticking out.
Wukong quietly stepped forward and asked, "Idiot, when did you start your postpartum confinement?"
Pigsy panicked a little, "Brother, please don't laugh at me! Did you get the water? Ouch, ouch!"
Wukong wanted to play another trick on him, but Sha Wujing quickly said, "The water is here! The water is here!"
Tang Sanzang was overjoyed and, despite his pain, praised them, saying, "My disciples, you have worked so hard!"
The old woman was also delighted, for these Arhats and Bodhisattvas had indeed obtained the spring water.
He hurriedly took a porcelain cup, scooped out half a cup, and handed it to Sanzang, saying, "Master, eat it slowly. Just one bite will relieve the pregnancy."
Bajie said, "I don't need a cup, I'll just drink directly from the bucket."
Unexpectedly, the old woman said, "If you drink this water from the bucket, your intestines and stomach will probably dissolve completely!"
The fool was so frightened that he dared not do anything reckless and only drank half a cup.
Not long after they finished drinking, they both experienced severe abdominal cramps, with their intestines gurgling and rumbling several times.
After his intestines rumbled, the fool couldn't hold it in any longer and urinated and defecated at the same time. Tang Sanzang also couldn't help but need to go to a quiet place to relieve himself.
Wukong then spoke up: "Master, you'd better not go outside. You've caught a chill, and what if you get postpartum illness?"
As they were talking, the old woman brought out two buckets and showed them how to use them.
Fortunately, their bellies gradually subsided, and Pigsy started causing trouble again; he wanted to take a bath.
This time, Sha Wujing advised, "Brother, you can't take a bath. Women in confinement will get sick if they get wet."
Bajie said, "I didn't have a major birth, it was just a miscarriage, what's there to be afraid of? Just wash her clean."
Lin Liuyi and Daiyu found it extremely strange; their two worlds didn't have such a rapid process of getting pregnant or losing a child.
After Pigsy and Tang Monk took a bath and ate some porridge, they recovered completely.
Whether it was because they were both physically strong or because men were more suited to having children, the two were extremely curious at that moment.
Lin Liuyi directly sent a request to Monkey King, hoping he could help him get some water from the Mother-Child River and the Abortion Spring.
"I knew you'd be curious. Don't worry, I've already prepared your share. Daiyu, would you like some?"
Although Daiyu was curious, she had no use for it, so she shook her head. However, she was still very pleased that Monkey King was always thinking of her!
