The morning mist had not yet parted, slightly revealing a cozy village in between two mountains. Chickens were crowing,
Most home's chimney were smoking, likey preparing light breakfast to start the days work.
In in comfortable atmosphere, a women's startled cry abruptly sounded, breaking the
Comfortable ambiance. There was nothing that could be done, she was the only wife of the largest landowner in the village. In just a few minute an old woman came to preside over the birth. She started sweating on the way, the husband of the woman had large plots of land and a very good friendship with the village head. This matter could end very badly if there were any problems during the birth.
In just a few minutes, she arrived at the home, in was a large two story house with a giant garden in front, the home might be only okay in the nearby flame city, but it looked a bit imposing in the ox horn village.
There was relatively gentle faced young man standing in the garden pacing around with an anxious expression. He wore relatively luxurious golden trimmed robe looking just like a rich young master.His name was yu jin, he also saw the the old woman. He immediate put on a respectfull expression and came before the old woman and bowing saying:
"please old nurse, take care of my wife and ensure a safe delivery and i will full fill any request and give you any amount of money"
He was anxious and could not bother with pleasantries unlike his usual self, so could only offer a reward with utmost sincerity. But he didn't know how much pressure he was putting on the woman who quickly waved her hands saying repeatedly:
"Mr.yu I'll try my best"
After all, his wife liu hua, was innately weak since childhood. Truly like a flower, beautiful but fragile. The old woman could only try her best. She quickly found her room and took a few maidservants with her and forbid any man from entering the room.
There was supposed to be a result soon but there were only shouts from the old woman and a few maidservants panicked replies. But no sound a baby.
The wait lasted until late night, just as yu jin was burning with anxiety, a baby's cry suddenly sounded which stopped just as aburtbly.
