Liu Xiaoshi waved his hands hurriedly, "What I mean is that it's not good for a single man and a single woman to have too much contact."
The elder of the Ling clan said: "Okay, Xiaoshi, you don't need to explain. We all know you well and know that you are a good child..."
The elder of the Ling clan said again: "How about this, I will let my granddaughter get in touch with Ye Ningchuan. My granddaughter is thirteen years old this year, and she is lively and like a little sun. She will definitely be able to become good friends with Ye Ningchuan."
Another elder said, "The immortal wants to take care of Ye Ningchuan. How can you take care of a thirteen-year-old child? I suggest sending a kind-hearted aunt to take care of Ye Ningchuan's food and daily life..."
"That's right, we must obey the will of the gods and raise Ye Ningchuan to be plump and white!"
Luo Mingyue:?
She just asked someone to take care of her, but she never said "fat and white".
However, in the minds of the villagers, taking care of a person means making sure she is well fed and well clothed, and lies down happily. It would be best if she gets fatter and looks blessed.
Someone asked, "By the way, what should we do with Ye Ningchuan's family?"
The elder of the Ling clan said: "Don't worry about the family. The immortals have mercy on Ye Ningchuan, not her family."
"Then how should these refugees be resettled?"
Tianliu Village could only vacate a few houses at most, but the problem was that there were too many refugees.
If we allow the refugees to enter Tianliu Village, what if the two sides do not get along well?
What if these refugees have bad character?
Many villagers are unwilling to let strangers into the village.
Even the elders of the clan cannot make decisions for the entire village.
So, everyone turned their eyes to Liu Dashi.
"Daishi, how about you... ask the immortal what he thinks?"
"good."
Liu Dashi raised his head and stared at the sky.
Luo Mingyue said: "I know you are not familiar with this group of strangers, so there is no need to let them into the village."
Hearing this, Liu Dashi breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that the immortal would be too compassionate and accept all the refugees to Tianliu Village. Although the believers would follow the immortal's will, it was already very difficult for everyone to live a good life, and they would not have extra energy to help strangers.
Luo Mingyue said: "Ask these refugees if anyone can see me."
Liu Dashi walked into the crowd and ordered, "Everyone, look up and see what's in the sky."
The refugees looked confused, "There is a sun in the sky."
"And the white clouds..."
"Besides that, is there anything else?"
Ye Ningchuan also raised his head cautiously.
Liu Dashi came over and said in a gentle voice, "Girl, fix your hair and show your eyes."
Ye Ningchuan was like a frightened rabbit, lowering his head in panic, holding his head with both hands.
Liu Dashi was stunned for a moment, "Miss Ye, don't be afraid, I'm not a bad person..."
Ye Ningchuan still held his head and said nothing.
Liu Xiaoshi said: "Brother, she is quite timid, please don't scare her."
Liu Dashi was speechless. He felt that he had been gentle enough just now. He didn't expect that this girl was so timid.
Luo Mingyue said: "Forget it, Dashi, let these refugees rest outside the village by themselves. As for the bowls, chopsticks and tableware..."
Liu Dashi continued, "What we just provided are the bowls and chopsticks that each family usually uses to entertain guests. There are still some left at home. Can I bring some more?"
Luo Mingyue said, "No, I'm just worried that you don't have enough bowls and chopsticks at home... Just consider the bowls and chopsticks I bought for the refugees. Ask the villagers what they need and I can provide them for everyone."
"Okay." Liu Dashi turned around and discussed with the elders.
The elder of the Ling clan said: "The immortal is kind-hearted and has given us water, but we only provided some bowls and chopsticks. How can we ask for compensation from the immortal?"
"Besides, survival is not easy, and we also want to help the refugees. Just think of those dishes and chopsticks as our free donation."
The villagers nodded in agreement.
Seeing this, Luo Mingyue said: "In this case, how about I make it rain for you all?"
Liu Dashi conveyed this message to everyone. The villagers were overjoyed and went home to call their relatives and friends and quickly collected the dried meat strips in the yard. Although there was no shortage of drinking water in the village now, everyone had not been rained on for a long time and was very happy.
As for the refugees, they were skeptical:
"Rain? Will it really rain?"
"Impossible. We have traveled such a long way and have never encountered a rainy day. It is dry everywhere..."
"Yes, even the springs have dried up. Besides, how do you know it will rain? Does God need to notify you before it rains?"
"Your name is Liu Dashi, right? I am a doctor. Since you provided us with porridge today, I will diagnose your pulse and treat your brain for free. I found that you have been talking to yourself in the sky. You should be treated quickly while you are still young..."
Liu Dashi's face darkened, "I'm not sick."
Ye Renyi said: "Liu Dashi, the people in your village don't keep their promises. The old man just told me that if I told him about my family situation, he would give me some meat strips, but after I finished speaking, he gave me nothing. People should not break their promises..."
Liu Dashi showed his fist and said, "If you keep talking nonsense, I will beat you to death."
Ye Renyi stopped talking, and his inner impression of Tianliu Village became worse.
Luo Mingyue took the tools for watering the flowers and began to bring rain to Tianliu Village.
"It's raining!"
The little ones were dancing and jumping around, not minding at all that they were soaked. Some of them even tried to chase the rain. Luo Mingyue held a shower head in one hand, spinning around to water the refugees, and also watered the refugees at the same time.
"It's really raining!"
"Thank God, we have water to drink!"
The refugees cried for joy and quickly took up their bowls to catch the rain water, drinking it up when it was full.
"Wait, this rain...how come it's still warm?"
"It feels like hot spring water."
"Liu Dashi, are you a god? Why did it really rain when you said it would rain?"
When Liu Dashi heard this, he said with a straight face, "Don't talk nonsense. I'm not a deity. I'm just a believer of a deity. Our village is called Tianliu Village. There is a patron saint in the village named Mingyue Xianren."
Ye Renyi asked: "Where is the guardian angel? Can we go and worship him? I am very sincere."
Liu Dashi glanced at him and said, "The fairy is not in the village. She is guarding us in the sky. This rain is sent by the fairy. If you want to worship, just worship directly towards the sky."
Ye Renyi thought of Liu Dashi often mumbling to himself at the sky, so he looked up and let the rain fall on his face. He prayed earnestly, "Mingyue Fairy, please reward us with a well... No, please reward my family with a lake! I want to grow crops so that I can feed my wife and children. If I can own a lake, I will be your most pious and loyal believer in the future... Oh no, I can even be your running dog..."
Many refugees followed Ye Renyi's example and made wishes to the sky.
Ye Ningchuan sat on the ground, collecting water in a bowl and drinking quietly.
Liu Xiaoshi ran in the rain to his heart's content, and finally ran to Ye Ningchuan's side and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely make sure you have enough to eat and drink in the future. There is no shortage of meat in our village, but you have been hungry for too long, so you can only eat light food at the beginning."
Ye Ningchuan ignored Liu Xiaoshi. Her hair was wet and broke into wisps, with water dripping down. The wet bangs could no longer perfectly cover the color of her pupils. Ye Ningchuan simply closed her eyes and drank the water.
Liu Xiaoshi didn't mind. He couldn't explain why he always liked to get close to Ye Ningchuan.
At this moment, Ye Ningchuan suddenly felt that someone was pinching him.
Luo Mingyue stopped the rain and put Ye Ningchuan in his palm.
The refugees were stunned.
"Sister Ningchuan, are you flying?"
"Husband, I'm so scared. Could it be that Ye Ningchuan is actually a monster?" Qu Xiaohua hid in Ye Renyi's arms, trembling.
Ye Renyi said: "Impossible..."
"Daddy, I want to fly too. Let Ye Ningchuan take me flying!" Ye Zhuangshi shouted. He didn't want to call her sister at all, but called Ye Ningchuan by her name directly.
Ye Renyi frowned and said, "Keep your voice down. When you are out, you can't be as willful as you are at home."
At this moment, Ye Ningchuan was holding a bowl of water in her hand. She lowered her head and dared not open her eyes.
Luo Mingyue said: "Actually, you can see me and hear me talking, right?"
Ye Ningchuan uttered a soft "hmm", the sound was as thin as a mosquito's hum. If Luo Mingyue had not had good hearing, she would not have heard it at all.
Luo Mingyue asked again: "You are an awakener, right?"
Ye Ningchuan nodded again. She hesitated for a moment, raised her face, and slowly opened her eyes.
The color of the pupils gradually changed. At first it was a vibrant emerald green, and then it turned into yellow-green, just like dead leaves in late autumn. These two colors appeared in a cycle, constantly changing, which was extremely strange.
Ye Ningchuan pursed his lips, looking a little reserved.
She has a pretty face, pretty eyebrows, and a pointed chin. She is a petite beauty.
Luo Mingyue asked: "What kind of awakener are you?"
Ye Ningchuan seemed to lack a sense of security. She lowered her head again and whispered, "I am a [Life Master]. I can connect other people's lives with my own life."
"When I awakened and became a [Life Master], a memory of inheritance automatically appeared in my mind. This memory told me how to save others and how to become stronger."
After saying this, and noticing that Luo Mingyue didn't move, Ye Ningchuan continued to explain: "In the past, I didn't use my ability until the villagers in our village collectively fled famine. However, there was not enough food, and many villagers were on the verge of starving to death on the way. I was very sad, and I didn't want them to die. So, every time someone was about to starve to death, I would link their life with mine."
"In this way, as long as I live, everyone lives."
"Even if they don't eat or drink, they won't die."
"Later, more and more villagers secretly gave me food and shared their lives with me."
"In the absence of food, their minds become slow and rigid, but once their bellies are filled, they regain their vitality."
"In addition, I can also convey messages to them through thoughts and make them listen to me."
"But... [Mortal Master] also has shortcomings."
"A [Narrator] connects fate, and my life was given to me by my parents. My biological mother is dead, but my father is still alive. So, from the moment I become a [Narrator], I will not be able to go against my father's wishes. No matter what he says, I will obey him unconditionally. My father married a new wife, and this wife became my nominal mother. I can disobey my stepmother, but I am bound by the rules of the [Narrator] and cannot say bad things about her unless my father divorces her."
Luo Mingyue asked: "If your father asked you to die, would you go?"
Ye Ningchuan shook his head and said, "No, I am cultivating my life. The premise of being obedient is not to harm my own life."
Luo Mingyue said: "But I heard that your family arranged a marriage for you before, but you didn't want to get married and refused."
Ye Ningchuan said calmly, "My stepmother sold me for a good price and asked me to marry a fifty-year-old wealthy businessman as a concubine. My father agreed and comforted me by saying that I would have a good life after marrying him. But before I even got married, the wealthy businessman offended a high-ranking official and his family was confiscated and exterminated, so the marriage was cancelled. From the beginning to the end, I never refused, it was my father who changed his mind."
"Also, anyone who is connected to my life cannot discuss my parents and relatives. So no matter how others asked, no one could tell me anything about my family situation. Only my parents themselves can tell me."
"So that's how it is..." This was the first time Luo Mingyue had heard of this situation. She asked, "Is every awakener subject to restrictions of the rules?"
For example, the [Prophet] will be restricted by the place of birth and cannot leave at will.
Ye Ningchuan shook his head, "I don't know."
Luo Mingyue asked: "If... someone killed your father, would you be okay?"
Hearing this, Ye Ningchuan's expression looked a little strange.
After Luo Mingyue realized what was happening, she also felt embarrassed and thought her question was too abrupt.
Ye Ningchuan said: "If my father died of illness or old age, I would not be affected in any way. But if he was murdered, at the moment he was on the verge of death, the two of us would automatically sign a life-melting contract. As long as I am alive, he can be resurrected infinitely... However, the moment the contract is signed, it is equivalent to me paying him back with his life. From now on, he can no longer order me to do anything."
Luo Mingyue nodded thoughtfully, "So that's how it is..."
Ye Ningchuan said: "I hope my father will be healthy and live a long life. I don't want him to die."
When Ye Ningchuan said this, her tone was emotionless, her pupils froze on the withered yellow-green color for a moment, and then continued to slowly change color, because this was the influence brought by the [Fortune Teller], and she couldn't say bad things about her father.
In fact, Ye Ningchuan had feelings for her father in the past, but her father favored his younger brothers and sisters and his stepmother time and time again, and even sold her to someone else as a concubine for money. From that moment on, Ye Ningchuan knew that her father was "dead", and the only one alive was Ye Zhuangshi and Ye Meili's father.
Luo Mingyue said: "Don't worry, I don't want to become the enemy who killed your father. I'm just curious about your ability, so I asked a few more questions... By the way, why do your eyes keep changing color?"
