In ancient times, they secretly became gods in the deep mountains.
Chapter 137 The group goes up the mountain to graze.
Chapter 137 The group goes up the mountain to graze.
The blind old woman took out some lush green grass, a sight that stunned Xu Yi. She took a few deep breaths, suppressing her excitement, and asked, "Grandma! Where did this come from?"
Tears welled up in the blind old woman's eyes.
"Xiao Shi and I went up the mountain to find food and almost didn't make it back. In a daze, I saw green trees on the slope in front of me, with tender grass growing under the trees. It wasn't covered by heavy snow. I thought it was a hallucination before I died. I don't know where I got the strength, but I picked up Xiao Shi and ran forward. Finally, we left the snow and found that we had come to a meadow."
"I woke up immediately and quickly filled our stomachs with tender grass with Xiao Shi. It wasn't cold there at all, and we slept soundly all night. This morning, we rushed down the mountain to tell the people in our village the good news."
The blind old woman said urgently, "Xu Yi, quickly gather the villagers and let's go to Sifang Mountain. There are green grass and trees there, so everyone won't have to worry about starving to death."
"I'll go right away."
Xu Yi picked up the gong and drumsticks from his home, stood at the village entrance, and struck the gong loudly, making sure everyone in the village could hear it.
Sure enough, after a short while, the villagers arrived at the village entrance with lifeless steps. Looking at the emaciated villagers who looked like ghosts, Xu Yi wished he could immediately take them to Sifang Mountain to eat grass and drink clean water.
"Xu Yi, what's the matter today?" asked an aunt who was shivering from the cold. Her eyes were sunken, she was skin and bones from hunger, and her face was sallow, dry, and bloodless.
To be precise, many people in the village are like that.
Hunger and cold tormented them.
People have lost all hope of survival; those who are still alive are simply afraid to end their own lives and are waiting for God's will.
Xu Yi was excited, but his expression became increasingly composed: "Second Aunt, Aunt Zhang, Granny Li, I have some good news to tell you!"
No one seemed interested after hearing this.
good thing?
What good thing could be more important than life?
They are now like walking corpses, without food or water, and people are dying in the village every day.
Heavy snow has blocked the mountain roads, making them difficult to navigate!
They were all women who hadn't left the village. Once they left the village, they lost their way. At first, they struggled to find a way to survive outside, but they would lose their way halfway. Even Xu Yi, the daughter of a hunter who had grown up running in the mountains, could get lost, so the others had even less ability to go out.
Under such circumstances, they all became numb and listless, just waiting for the day when the Ox-Head and Horse-Face demons sent by the King of Hell would take their souls away.
That way they were freed.
How good could Xu Yi's promise be? Could it really save the entire village?
The chances are slim!
Everyone shook their heads, and someone sighed and said, "Xu Yi, if there's nothing important, I'll head back first. I clearly feel that my time is coming to an end this time. I'm afraid I'll die on the way home. I just want to die at home."
"I'm leaving too. The snow is getting heavier and heavier. Before, it would snow for a few days and then stop for a few days, but more than half of the month has passed, and the snow shows no sign of stopping. I'm afraid an even greater disaster is waiting for us."
"Let's go, let's go!"
The villagers weren't very interested in the good things Xu Yi talked about. The weather was getting colder and colder, and they just wanted to stay at home and wait to die. They didn't know when they would die. In short, under such a disaster, their days were numbered.
I'd rather die at home!
"boom!"
Xu Yi quickly struck the gong and shouted, "The blind old woman has found food! She went up the mountain and saw an oasis covered with big trees and flowers, and there's clean spring water for us to drink. We won't starve to death. We'll go up the mountain soon!"
"Yes, everyone! I, the blind old woman, am not lying to you. I really have found an oasis in the snow. It's like a fairyland. I even saw big fish in the river there. Once we get there, we won't have to worry about food and water!"
Not many people believe her.
It's not that the blind old lady is a bad person.
Rather, what she said was so unbelievable, even ridiculous.
"Blind old woman, are you hallucinating? In this year of disaster with heavy snow, how can any big trees and flowers survive, let alone clean water and fish? You really dare to dream."
Someone lamented, "We've been punished by God. He's sent down endless snow just to freeze and trap us. How could there possibly be any grass or trees for us to eat?" "Blind old woman, you must be getting old and your eyesight is failing."
"Exactly, exactly. The surrounding mountains are all covered in snow. How could there be a place full of plants? You must have been frozen silly."
Someone waved their hand and said, "Everyone, let's disperse, let's disperse."
Everyone prepared to go home.
In desperation, the blind old woman unleashed her ultimate move.
In the vast white expanse of sky and earth, a patch of green almost blinded them. The villagers were more shocked to see food and water than to see gold, and they were all amazed.
"It's green grass!"
"Green grass! I'm not seeing things, am I? It really is green grass!"
When the crowd saw the tender green grass, they rushed to grab it, and some people burst into tears on the spot.
"Great, we won't starve to death."
Everyone sighed deeply and asked questions all at once. Their eyes shone with intense emotion, and they all burst into tears.
Someone exclaimed in surprise, crying out, "The blind old woman didn't lie? She really didn't lie, this really is grass!"
"It's been so long, I haven't seen such lush green grass in so long."
"What the blind old woman said is true!"
The once lifeless crowd suddenly became restless, with voices rising and falling in a cacophony of elation and excitement. Their desire to survive led them to choose to believe the blind old woman.
“I really didn’t lie to you. I remember the route. Let’s meet up and go up the mountain. Everyone hurry up and fill your stomachs so you won’t starve to death,” the blind old woman said earnestly.
"I won't starve to death!"
The villagers were in high spirits.
Xu Yi immediately said, "Quiet down, everyone. We've all survived so many hard times, nothing can stop us now. Since heaven has given us a place with lush green grass, it must not want us all to die. Let's go into the mountains in an orderly manner. The vegetation there will definitely be enough for us to last for a long time."
Once everyone calmed down, it was crucial to avoid extreme joy or sorrow at this moment.
They brought containers and old pots and pans from home and went up the mountain with the villagers.
After walking for nearly half an hour, the group still hadn't seen the magical place the blind old woman had described, and they couldn't help but feel anxious and impatient.
"It's just ahead, let's all quicken our pace!"
The blind old woman led the villagers through the snow, the vast expanse of white snow covering their shoulders and heads, and the frigid air showing no signs of any living creature.
This is a place where life has vanished.
Suddenly, at the edge of the white expanse of land, a patch of green caught my eye.
It's a tree! It's grass!
"Look!"
"Such an amazing place really exists!"
The crowd was overjoyed and shouted excitedly.
