The whole weird world is waiting for me to go to heaven
Chapter 752: Heart of the Fetal God
Chapter 752: The Heart of the Fetal God (XVIII)
Yueya, leaning on a crutch, walked around a large vegetable garden that had become a wasteland, and walked forward along the gravel road with only wild vegetable stems left on both sides. From afar, she saw a group of herdsmen gathered in front of the village chief's house, and the noise could be heard far away.
"You said we lose sheep every day, this is not okay, we have to find a way to survive, right?"
"Yes, we barely survive on the goat's milk, but the children are growing up, so they need some meat, right? We kill a sheep occasionally and dry some meat for later use, which is very painful... But now the meat is almost gone, and there are no sheep anymore. How can my family of nine survive?"
An old man was leaning on a cane and crying as he spoke.
He was already so thin from long-term hunger that his body was bent and trembling constantly, and his breathing became increasingly rapid, as if he was about to suffocate.
Seeing this, several people nearby rushed forward to support him.
The middle-aged man, who was also so thin that he was just a bag of bones, said to him, "Hey, Uncle Lao, don't worry, the village chief will definitely find a way for us."
It turned out that everyone was waiting at the village chief's door, wanting an explanation.
But the door was closed, so I don’t know if it was because I couldn’t hear anything or if it was for some other reason.
As Yueya approached, the gaze that was originally focused on the village chief's door unconsciously turned to her, with a strange sense of wanting to say something but stopping.
Although no one spoke, Yueya knew clearly what these strange looks meant.
She is the only woman here.
However, as soon as these eyes made contact, they quickly moved away.
The reason is not difficult to understand.
Since her serious injury, she has been weak and malnourished, looking haggard and not very pleasing to the eye.
Fortunately, she was wearing a fur coat which concealed the strange wound on her back. One could only see that her movements were a little stiff.
Otherwise, these people's eyes would be even more disgusted.
Yueya stood aside, and the herdsmen unconsciously moved away a little, as if they could not avoid her.
However, some people who were curious asked, "Miss, why don't you see Miss Liu?"
Danjin was a pretty girl. She was the one who was seen going out at the beginning, so naturally people remembered her.
Yueya said coldly: "She went to graze."
"Oh……"
"You lost your sheep too?"
Crescent Moon: "Well, why else are you here?"
Her personality has changed a lot since she was injured, so she naturally didn't feel happy when faced with these flickering looks.
But everyone thinks it's normal that weird people have weird tempers.
An uncle continued, "It's pitiful. You two women have to do everything by yourselves with a little kid..."
"Yes, it would be nice to have a man in the family." another person added.
After hearing this, everyone nodded.
Only Yueya listened coldly to everyone talking.
"That's right. Look at my wife. She is enjoying a peaceful life at home. I don't know how good it is."
"Yes, now that they can't have babies, they have nothing to do at home, so they just stay comfortable."
"Oh, even with this, my wife is still not satisfied!"
"They don't think about it. It's easy to be contaminated by evil spirits when you are outside. Aren't we doing this for their own good?"
"In the past, we could let them farm at home, but now there is nothing to farm."
"Don't tell me, the last time the village harvested barley, nothing grew anymore, and we don't even know where the next crop is!"
“So I can only herd sheep…”
"In the end, I couldn't even protect the sheep. I lost them one by one."
The topic returned to the main business and everyone became anxious again.
"Why hasn't the village chief come out yet?"
"Village Chief! Village Chief!"
Just then, an old voice came from the other end of the stone road. "Everyone, please be patient. I just went to check the ranch."
The old village chief Zhabu walked slowly towards us, leaning on a cane.
His gaze fell on Yueya and paused for a moment, then he looked at everyone and said, "Don't worry, I have asked my child to invite Master Baoquan early in the morning."
When the village chief arrived, everyone felt like they had a backbone.
After hearing what he said, they felt much more at ease and said:
"That's great. The Master is here. We can rest assured now."
"That's right, this matter is definitely not a big deal for the Master!"
"Thank you, Master Baoquan! Thank you, Master Fetal God, for your blessing!"
"I have to say, luckily the village chief is here! Thank you, village chief!"
So everyone bowed to the village chief to express their gratitude.
"Everyone please register with Zhao Shuli first. When the master comes, I will take him to visit each family to see what is going on." The village chief said in a loud voice.
A thin man with a mustache came out and took out a pen and paper to write down everyone's names.
Everyone lined up as instructed, and Yueya followed silently behind.
When it was Yueya's turn, the old village chief glanced at her and asked kindly, "I heard that you were seriously injured. Your father and I are old acquaintances. I should have paid more attention to you, but unfortunately I have been busy lately and I really can't spare any time..."
Yueya nodded: "Thank you for your concern, Village Chief."
"But your father is the same. Why didn't he leave a man to take care of your affairs? You have to come out with a sick body."
"I don't think it's necessary. My father is always on the road and needs more help." Yueya answered calmly.
However, the main reason was that Solang saw Danjin's skills, so what was there to worry about?
Of course, the reason behind this is naturally unknown to outsiders.
"Oh, I see. You are quite filial."
The village chief smiled and changed the subject:
"Miss Liu has gone to graze herds, right? I saw her going alone from afar in the pasture this morning."
Yueya's face turned slightly cold and she nodded.
"But..." the village chief asked in confusion, "Why didn't you bring your little girl with you? Doesn't she usually follow Miss Liu?"
"Oh, it's my turn today." Yueya said frankly.
The village chief was surprised: "Ah? But why don't you bring it with you?"
Yueya smiled slightly: "This child always has his own ideas. Go and play with your friends."
The village chief was a little confused. There hadn't been a newborn in the village for a long time, and after thinking about it, he couldn't think of any place to find a friend of the same age as the little girl.
……
At the same time, on the other side of the village, in front of a house with the word "Seed" written on it, Liu Sheng squatted on the doorstep, sitting side by side with Grandma Seed.
The two of them were silent. The breeze blew up snowflakes, which gently fell on the rough gravel road. The wild vegetable stems on both sides were gradually buried by the snow, leaving only a vast expanse of white.
Grandma Seed looked down at the seeds in the basket, sighed barely audibly, gently picked up the floral quilt beside her, and covered them tenderly with it as if she were covering a baby with a quilt.
Liu Sheng suddenly asked, "Is mother-in-law unhappy?"
Granny Seed was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "The baby can talk now, Granny is happy."
She stretched out her trembling hand and touched Liu Sheng's head.
"It's a pity that Grandma has no sugar..." Grandma Seed sighed, "If the wheat doesn't sprout, Grandma can't make sugar either."
Liu Sheng smiled, rummaged through the embroidered cloth bag that Dan Jin had made for her, took out something, and put it in Seed Granny's hand.
Granny Seed blinked and looked down——
I saw a piece of maltose wrapped in paper lying on the wrinkled palm.
My obsessive compulsive disorder has struck me, so I have to make a major revision... Wait for the next chapter QAQ
