Chapter 749: The Heart of the Fetal God (XV)
Danjin took Liusheng and Yueya with him and settled down in Baicun for the time being.

Solang's caravan has already left and is heading towards its next destination.

Before leaving, Suolang gave Danjin a large sum of money and asked her to take good care of Yueya.

Yueya is currently confined to bed due to serious injuries.

With her spine almost taken out of her, even if she recovers she will only be a cripple. It is unknown how long it will take for her to grow back.

So she placed even more hope on the secret that Danjin mentioned.

Danjin was willing to give Yueya a bite to eat for the sake of the silver and such a nice yurt. After all, two mouths need to eat, and the same goes for three mouths, just more.

"But you are not allowed to disturb me and the adults!" Dan Jin warned.

Seeing her angry look, Yueya leaned lazily against the wall and smiled lightly, "Okay, I know you and the adults are close, I won't be so tactless as to interfere."

As she spoke, she reached out to tease the little baby who was frowning and trying to crawl on the blanket.

But Dan Jin slapped him away.

Yueya sneered, still finding it incredible that this baby named "Liu Sheng" could have such great abilities.

I don't know how old he is. He looks like he is only a few months old. He is thin and small like a bean sprout. He is silly and can't talk or walk. He even learned to crawl today.

But sometimes, her eyes seemed strangely deep, as if they contained a calm adult.

Of course, Yueya thought it was just her illusion.

After all, she had not yet recovered from the previous attack by the monster, and she would occasionally see the red-clothed figure kneeling towards the snow-capped mountains, but she didn't say it out loud.

All in all, it should be Danjin's excuse.

What ability comes from her sister is a joke.

But since the other party didn't want to say, she wouldn't ask. She would just wait and see. There would always be flaws.

At this time, Danjin was putting on a wolfskin cloak.

These are also the warm clothes that Yueya’s father left for her as a token of his gratitude for taking care of his daughter.

After getting dressed, Dan Jin picked up Liu Sheng who was crawling stubbornly.

Yueya said lazily, "Are you going to visit the village chief?"

Danjin nodded: "Well, we are on their territory and have built a yurt. If we don't go visit them, they will come to us."

The Bai Village where they are now is said to be the largest village on the Chagan grassland, with nearly a hundred households.

According to the rules, if you want to settle down, you must take the initiative to visit the village chief to determine your affiliation. If you are unwilling, you can only leave the jurisdiction.

If you leave the village, there will be no temple to protect you, and you may be devoured by monsters at any time.

This is because the land here belongs to different villages, and above these villages are the temples of the fetus gods where different masters are stationed. The snow-capped mountains also provide shelter for the entire area through one temple after another.

But in exchange, the villagers must make regular offerings to the snow mountain.

The supply is provided to the spirit temple from the villages, and the spirit temple collects all the supplies and then offers them to the snow mountain. The snow mountain will then distribute them to the spirit temple, thus forming a cycle.

Just as Danjin is now at the village chief's house, the news she received is that she must choose between farming or grazing.

"Thirty percent of the harvest will belong to Bai Village," said the old village chief Zhabu, holding up three dry, wrinkled fingers. "The village will provide seeds, land, cattle and sheep. If you want more, you have to pay for it yourself."

He was an old man who looked to be in his seventies or eighties, with a slightly hunched back and one of his legs lame, but he looked very energetic and even strong. He wore a woolen felt hat on his head, the brim of which was pulled down so low that it almost covered his eyebrows.

Danjin had no objection to what the village chief said.

This has been the rule since she was a child, and in her village, the collection rate is even higher - up to 70%. In comparison, the old village chief in front of her can be considered extremely kind.

Liu Sheng doesn't know these rules.

She was just a baby now, and could not express anything except lying in Danjin's arms and being quiet and well-behaved. Danjin decisively chose to herd sheep.

This was what she had originally planned. Shepherding sheep could provide adults with goat milk, but planting would take a long time and the harvest might not be good.

"Little girl, can you herd sheep?" asked the old village chief Zabu.

Dan Jin nodded: "I have been able to do this since I was a child."

"Is the sheep pen repaired? If not, you can ask Aji for help..." asked Zabu.

"Thank you, Village Chief. We have fixed it." Danjin replied.

"Yes, it seems that you know what to do. You are a smart girl." Zabu nodded with satisfaction and said to his son sitting beside him, "Okay, Aji, take her to get some sheep back."

Aji was a burly man, about thirty years old, with dark skin that was slightly shiny. He looked a little dull. When he heard his father talking, he immediately stood up and banged his head on the beam.

He rubbed his head and asked, "But, Father, I don't know how many heads I should give them?"

"Hey, I've told you many times that you can distribute it according to the population." Zabu said somewhat unhappily.

"Three people..." Aji looked at the information he had just registered and said, "That means one hundred heads!"

Dan Jin gasped when he heard this.

Zabu immediately slapped him, and Aji bent down and let his father slap him on the head.

"There are three of them, one can't walk, and one is still a baby. How can they be counted as a hundred? Thirty will be enough." Zabu said.

Dan Jin breathed a sigh of relief. If there were more, she might not be able to take care of them.

I didn’t expect the old village chief to blame the good people.

"Take good care of Miss Liu, you stupid boy," Zabu added, tapping him on the head with his cane again.

After being scolded by his father for no reason, Aji nodded quickly.

After saying goodbye to the old village chief, Danjin followed Aji along the gravel road outside the center of the village towards the edge of the cliff.

"Actually... we don't have that many sheep to herd right now." Aji whispered, "The cold nights are coming, and the number of sheep is decreasing. Quite a few lambs die at birth."

Danjin nodded. "In my area, even ewes can no longer conceive lambs."

Aji sighed.

Dan Jin and Liu Sheng both understood that the sigh was because they were afraid that the same future was not far away.

"I hope that the fetal god can defeat the darkness as soon as possible." Aji prayed, "Of course, the most important thing is that there will be less sin in the world."

"Lord Fetal God is above." Dan Jin said softly.

"Lord Fetal God is above." Aji said in a soft voice.

"However, you are also smart. You did not choose to plant it. I guess it's because the Lord Fetal God is protecting you." Aji said.

"What do you mean?" Dan Jin was confused.

"It's hard to herd sheep, but planting is even harder. Now even barley seedlings are hard to sprout, and other crops are even harder to grow. All that grows are crooked and cracked, and the harvest is poor." Aji sighed, "So although we don't have a food shortage for the time being, and it's better than other villages, we're definitely not well-off."

Danjin was a little surprised. She had never heard of such a situation before she went to the snowy mountains. And in the snowy mountains, although she was just a chores and didn't eat very well, she had never experienced hunger.

"It seems that the girl must have come from a place with abundant food..." Aji saw Danjin's surprise and said.

I didn't expect that this Aji looks so rough on the outside, but he is actually very meticulous.

Dan Jin didn't know how to respond, so he whispered, "I guess so."

She didn't know that Aji's eyes behind her were flickering on her, with a hint of complexity.
