The whole weird world is waiting for me to go to heaven

Chapter 755: The Heart of the Fetal God (Twenty-one)

Amid the sound, the hollow lanterns in the yurt were lit up.

A warm golden light was cast down, illuminating the small figure of the adult as he stretched and yawned.

"Prepare some butter tea, we have guests." The adult said softly.

Dan Jin was secretly shocked, but he quickly put on his clothes.

The curtain in the middle was rolled up, and Yueya was seen leaning on her crutches and walking out first.

The wind and snow were howling. Yueya squinted her eyes and saw three figures huddled outside the yurt.

The hood covered his face and his clothes were thick, so it was impossible to tell his identity or even his gender.

The leader just opened his mouth and said, "Girl, I need your help with something..."

When Yueya heard it, she immediately recognized it as Yunniang's voice, but it was a little more anxious, and trembling from the cold.

She was stunned for a moment, then came back to her senses.

The snowstorm was so strong that she didn't bother to ask in detail. She quickly moved aside and opened the curtain: "Come in quickly, it's too cold outside!"

As the three entered the yurt, they were warmed by the heat and took off their hoods and coats, revealing their faces - they were all women.

Since the girls in the village usually stay at home, Danjin and Yueya didn't know them, but the other party did.

One of the women looked very gentle. She looked at Dan Jin with a look of admiration and wonder:
"You must be Miss Liu, right? I often see you walking around the village from afar, and I thought you must be pretty. Today, I got closer and saw that you are indeed pretty."

Dan Jin, who was making tea, blushed suddenly.

Another thin, dark woman was staring at Liu Sheng, who was sitting nearby and drinking goat's milk, with a complex expression in her eyes, as if she liked him but didn't dare to approach him.

Seeing this, Yunniang sighed softly, "Are you thinking of your baby?"

The dark-skinned woman trembled her lips, and finally nodded: "That's right, my little girl was only this big when she left home, and now she should be ten years old... I wonder how she is doing in the snowy mountains."

The yurt was quiet for a moment.

Another girl was sent to the snowy mountains.

Liu Sheng and Dan Jin exchanged glances, but ultimately said nothing.

Danjin silently distributed the butter tea to everyone.

After taking a few sips to warm herself up, Yunniang introduced that the gentle woman who praised Danjin for her beauty was called Ajiao, and the woman whose daughter was taken away was called Nawang.

"I wonder why the ladies are here?"

Yueya was older and better at dealing with things than Danjin, a shy girl, so she was the first to ask.

The three ladies looked at each other and seemed a little hesitant.

In the end, it was Yun Niang who spoke directly: "Actually...it was Granny Seed who asked us to come."

"Seed Grandma?" Dan Jin was slightly stunned.

Yunniang glanced at Ajiao who was biting her lower lip, nodded and continued, "Speaking of which, Ajiao's grandmother and Granny Zhongzi's mother were both Tang women who came to the grassland together, so they had a good relationship."

"Ajiao has always been troubled about what to do with the seeds that have rotted in the ground, and always goes to ask the Seed Lady for advice..."

The conversation had gone a bit off track, so A Jiao continued softly, "I didn't expect that when I went there yesterday, she asked me to come find you. She said that you...may be able to help."

"I... don't understand why, but Granny Seed would never lie to me, so I thought I'd try my luck. But I also know that we don't have a deep relationship on weekdays, so I'm a little nervous to come to her house without permission."

A Jiao smiled a little embarrassedly. "But... yesterday I saw what happened between Yunniang and Yueya Girl, so I was thinking if I could ask Yunniang to join me..."

"Nawang is my good sister, so I will naturally take her with me." Yunniang continued, "Although Granny Seed didn't explain the reason, I believe in her and I believe in you too."

Upon hearing this, Yueya glanced at Liu Sheng calmly.

I finally understood why the adults went to sit with Granny Seed yesterday.

Dan Jin also vaguely thought that this might be the next step that the adults were expecting.

At this time, the familiar hoarse sound rang in her ears again.

So she followed the adults' instructions and said, "We can go and help you find out what's going on with those seeds."

The three ladies were immediately delighted.

"But..." A Jiao suddenly showed some hesitation and whispered, "Can you... not let my husband know that I came to beg you?"

Yunniang frowned and said, "Ajiao, people are starving to death, do you still care so much?"

Indeed, compared to Dan Jin's relatively healthy appearance with fair and plump skin, these women had sallow complexions and emaciated bodies. If they were not wrapped in thick fur coats, they would be blown away by the slightest wind and snow.

Not to mention the little baby Liu Sheng, who was raised to be cute with a round head and a round face, and it seemed that he had no shortage of food and drink.

This is also the reason why Yunniang and the others believe that Danjin and the others have a solution.

A Jiao's face turned paler and paler. She clutched the hem of her clothes tightly with both hands and shook her head. Her voice was filled with uncontrollable fear:
"No... If he knew that I came to you secretly to beg you, he would definitely not let me go!"

Nawang bit her lower lip tightly, and a hint of hesitation appeared in her eyes.

She lowered her head and spoke in a very low voice, as if she was afraid of being overheard. "My husband... always said that you are sinners, and this kid... is also a... bastard, and told me not to get close to you."

"Nawang!" Yunniang's face suddenly changed, and she couldn't help but scolded, "How can you say such a thing?"

Yueya stared at Ajiao quietly and asked slowly, "What did your family say? Why don't you come to see us?"

A Jiao's throat rolled for a moment, as if it was difficult to speak. After a moment of silence, she spoke softly: "He said that you are ghosts... You don't need to eat, you can survive by sucking essence and blood..."

She paused, a complicated look on her face, as if even she herself felt that this was absurd: "And you also said that those sheep... were eaten by you witches."

The room suddenly became silent for a moment.

Yunniang sighed softly and patted Ajiao's trembling hands.

"I'm sorry, this is their idea, we didn't." Yunniang explained in a low voice, "We still gave them a large pot of barley wine and made them sleep soundly, so that we could come to you before dawn."

Nawang also nodded, with uneasiness in his eyes, but in the end he said nothing more.

Yueya hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "In that case, you can go back first. Don't worry, we will find a way."

Although Yunniang and the other two still had doubts about what to do next, thinking that the men at home might wake up at any time, they did not dare to stay any longer and said goodbye in a hurry.

Before leaving, Na Wang looked at Liu Sheng reluctantly and begged in a low voice: "Can...can you hug her?"

However, as soon as she stretched out her hand, Dan Jin blocked it with a cold face.

Nawang's lips trembled slightly, and she could only withdraw her hand in disappointment and leave reluctantly.

The house gradually returned to silence.

Only the aroma of butter tea filled the air.
