My Husband, a Marshal: Conquering the Stars with My Culinary Arts-Chapter 658 - 222: Premature Birth
Ke Lian and his group still reside in that large cave; even though they have identified many places sufficient to shelter them, this cave makes them feel particularly safe. Especially since there is a small river far from the cave, other shelters are even further from the river, and going back and forth for water would take a lot of time.
Ke Lian opened his small pocket, which contained his remaining five and a half Nutrition Supplements—although the others had more than he did, it was only by three or four more, which couldn’t withstand much use. Therefore, Ke Lian never wanted to take the Nutrition Supplements that others offered to share with him.
With an unchanged expression, Ke Lian took out the half-used Nutrition Supplement from yesterday and poured it into his mouth, not forgetting to shake it at the end to let the few drops clinging to the tube wall fall into his mouth.
It was only at this moment that Ke Lian would give a somewhat self-mocking smile. Is it funny? The ever-so-high and mighty Marshal Ke Lian, who never worried about resources, now can’t bear to waste even a single drop of Nutrition Supplement.
Others also drank their Nutrition Supplements in silence, but they intentionally left some so they wouldn’t suffer from hunger, then carefully stored the little tubes with the remaining or empty Supplements.
"Sigh, if only I had learned more from my sister-in-law back then. I see so many animals outside, if we knew how to cook, it would be nice to catch one to stave off hunger," Mo Feng, who always liked to find joy amidst hardships, had never been through such tough times. He meant to lighten the atmosphere, but instead ended up making himself more sorrowful.
Mo Feng rubbed his stomach; he used to have abs, but now the lines of his abs were more pronounced after these months. It’s not that his training has increased, but the hunger has purely carved them out!
Mo Feng: Miss my sister-in-law’s braised pork!!!!
Hearing Mo Feng mention Du Xixi, Ke Lian couldn’t help but show a bit of longing on his face. He had always kept himself from showing his longing for his family because he knew he was the cornerstone of the group. If he showed a hint of vulnerability, everyone might not be able to hold on. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞
If it were merely being in a foreign place, it would be fine; yearning for family can be remedied by going back to see them. But they arrived here after passing through a wormhole, and this "foreign land" might be a place they could never return from, even if they tried their best.
Ke Lian suddenly stood up and walked to the entrance of the cave. Seeing this, Mo Feng wanted to follow him, but was stopped by Chen Dan, who seemed to notice something. Chen Dan shook his head at Mo Feng, his eyes revealing a touch of empathy.
The relationship between Chen Dan and everyone was neither good nor bad, more like friends who can talk but not too deeply, so everyone might not know much about his family background.
Chen Dan was married and had a three-year-old daughter. Just before he enlisted for the battlefront, his daughter was still clinging to his leg, vaguely asking him to bring back her favorite candies when he returned home.
Unfortunately, the candies he bought on the way could not be taken back to his daughter. During these days, to help supplement everyone’s nutrition, Chen Dan selflessly contributed the candy gifts meant for his daughter.
Although the candies were individually packaged, only two pieces per person were distributed, but in times of physical exhaustion, this kind of small snack that can supplement sugar was very much cherished by everyone.
Chen Dan sniffed, his eyes suddenly reddened. Ke Lian had a wife, children, a father, and a sister, and even a baby in his wife’s belly. Ke Lian’s situation was much more miserable than his.
People can’t always suppress themselves; Ke Lian should find an opportunity to release a bit. At the very least... let him find time to miss his family too.
Mo Feng opened his mouth but ultimately sighed and sat down. He looked at the more than ten comrades around him, not actually feeling lonely in his heart, but he also missed his family and the nephew or niece he hadn’t met yet.
Based on the time, Mo Ying should be about to give birth...
***
Mo Ying was more than two months further along in her pregnancy than Du Xixi. Du Xixi’s child was already seven months old, so Mo Ying was naturally in the waiting period for childbirth. However, her period was not very stable due to her longing for family, and she hadn’t had a good rest for a long time.
