Lu Yunting went back to his room to sleep.
Qingrui is rather short, not even as tall as the box, but this does not pose a problem for him. He can lift his feet off the ground and fly into the air. His chubby little hands grab the edge of the box, and he looks inside with a serious look.
Luo Mingyue warned: "You can watch, but you are not allowed to reach out and bully them."
Qingrui said: "I am not a three-year-old child. I am equivalent to an eight-year-old human. Although I sleep most of the time, I have wandered in the human world for a hundred years. I have eaten more food than ordinary people have drunk water. I will not bully others."
"Why?"
Speaking of eating, Luo Mingyue thought of an important question, "Have you been fasting?"
Qingrui nodded, "I have been fasting for a long time, otherwise I would not be able to sleep in the egg for so long."
Luo Mingyue counted on her fingers and began to think about another question, "An eight thousand year old dragon is only equivalent to an eight year old child? Then wouldn't it take you another ten thousand years to grow to eighteen years old?"
"That's not how it works."
Qingrui shook his head and said, "We dragons cannot calculate our age based on your human age. When I reach 10,000 years old, I will be an adult. By then, you can consider me as a 20-year-old human."
"I see."
Luo Mingyue nodded, indicating that she understood. "It will take you another two thousand years to grow up. So, can you stay two years old until you reach adulthood?"
Qing Rui: "…"
He glared at Luo Mingyue angrily, turned his head and snorted heavily, saying: "You are dreaming, when I recover from my injuries, I will grow up and won't stay like this forever."
Luo Mingyue asked: "How big is it?"
Qingrui said, "It's about the size of an eight-year-old child."
Luo Mingyue showed little interest. "I heard that seven or eight years old is an age that even dogs hate. I don't like naughty kids. If you become naughty, I will beat you up."
Qingrui said: "My personality may be affected by my image. If I always look like a two-year-old, I will speak and act childishly. But when I am eight years old, it will be different. I will be relatively mature and stable..."
After saying that, Qingrui subconsciously put his thumb into his mouth and sucked it.
Luo Mingyue asked: "Are you hungry?"
"No."
After Qingrui answered, he realized what he was doing. His face turned dark. He took out his thumb and transformed himself into a small green snake. Even the dragon horns on his head disappeared.
Qingrui put away the broken golden egg, flew into the air again, and looked towards the Dwarf Village in the dark.
Qing Rui tilted his head and asked, "Why isn't anyone coming out to do anything?"
Luo Mingyue said: "They are all asleep."
Qing Rui yawned, took out a chair from somewhere, and lay down on it, curling up his body. "Then I'll sleep too."
"Okay, go to sleep." Luo Mingyue took out a piece of red silk cloth from the storage space, cut it, and sewed it with gold thread. This time, the sewing was much slower and more meticulous, making it into a red dress.
Qingrui asked, "Are you making clothes for them?"
"Well, I find handicrafts quite interesting."
When Luo Mingyue finished making a piece of clothing, the sky over the village was just beginning to brighten.
Some diligent villagers have already gotten up and started washing.
Qingrui was snoring in a chair when he felt something moving from Luo Mingyue's side. He opened his eyes dazedly and found that Luo Mingyue had reached into the Little People Village...
Qingrui's eyes widened instantly, thinking that Luo Mingyue was doing something bad. He flew up and saw that Luo Mingyue had just placed a stone basin full of spiritual rice down there.
The little people in Mojia Village began to gather towards the Xianjuantai, preparing to eat.
Luo Mingyue stood up and went to provide porridge, steamed buns, boiled eggs and stir-fried lettuce and meat to the refugees outside Tianliu Village.
There are both meat and vegetarian dishes, and they look quite healthy.
By the way, a braised chicken leg was delivered to Liu Dashi's home. The huge chicken leg was placed there, and Xinghua, who had just got up to cook, was stunned.
Xinghua said: "Husband, there is a chicken drumstick!"
Liu Dashi came out and looked, "Immortal?"
Luo Mingyue asked, "We just had our wedding night last night, and today the bride is already up to work?"
Liu Dashi's face flushed.
I didn't expect that the immortal would still pay attention to his married life.
Liu Dashi said, "I will cook with my wife so she won't get tired."
"Rest for a few more days."
As he spoke, Luo Mingyue put down several small bowls, each containing goat milk, preserved egg and lean meat porridge, boiled eggs, braised beef in soy sauce, cold shredded carrots, cold bean sprouts and vermicelli, and spiritual rice.
"I don't know what you like to eat, so I just put some simple ingredients... You can order dishes next time."
Liu Dashi was stunned. "Simple?"
It's so rich, how can it be simple?
If it were any other time, Liu Dashi would have been too embarrassed to accept the gift from Luo Mingyue, but he had just gotten married yesterday, so he did not refuse.
Liu Dashi said, "Immortal, we are not picky about food. We will eat whatever we are given... Especially this big chicken drumstick. I feel that this chicken drumstick alone is enough for my whole family to eat."
The newlyweds began to get busy. Liu Dashi cut a plate of chicken legs and sent it to his father-in-law's house. When he came back, he called his cousin's family to have breakfast, otherwise they would not be able to finish it.
Xinghua was not idle either. She put the food given by the immortal on a plate and placed it on the table.
Village chief Liu went out early to work, and his wife was feeding the pigs in the backyard.
As for Liu Xiaoshi, he was busy tearing the chicken legs. By the time all the meat was torn off, all the plates in the house were filled.
Luo Mingyue took the chicken bones and threw them into the trash can.
She noticed that Aunt Guo was also busy in the kitchen, so she put down some steamed buns, boiled eggs and braised beef.
These were all placed in small stone basins made by Luo Mingyue herself. Each stone basin was about the same size as the pots used by little people to cook.
Ye Ningchuan was sweeping the yard. She had just finished halfway when she heard some noise behind her. She turned around, saw the food on the ground, and carried it all into the kitchen.
Then, Ye Ningchuan walked into the yard again and looked up at the sky. She was silent for a long time, her pupils slowly changing color, sometimes full of vitality, sometimes lifeless.
Ye Ningchuan asked: "How long do you plan to support me?"
The days now were too happy and too dreamy, just like the rainbow after the rain, seemingly beautiful but impossible to reach out and grab. Ye Ningchuan felt a sense of unreality, as if he would wake up one day and face hunger and pain again.
Qing Rui said curiously: "How can this person's eyes change color? It looks so strange..."
Luo Mingyue asked Ye Ningchuan: "How long is your life span?"
Ye Ningchuan said: "Ordinary people can live to be about 100 years old, and special people like me can live to be about 200 years old."
Luo Mingyue thought that the villains would destroy the world in five hundred years, so she said: "I said last time that as long as you keep believing in me, I will always support you until you are buried."
"You're going to support me for two hundred years?"
Ye Ningchuan found it outrageous.
She didn't believe this kind of promise, but looking at Luo Mingyue's eyes full of sincerity, she felt that Luo Mingyue didn't seem to be lying.
Ye Ningchuan asked: "Two hundred years...can you provide meals every day?"
Luo Mingyue thought for a moment and said, "I can't guarantee it every day. After all, I have other things to do. I can provide water resources. As for you, you can cultivate the farmland and raise livestock. Over time, you will be able to be self-reliant. In this way, even if I no longer appear one day in the future, you will be able to survive."
"I understand." Ye Ningchuan nodded, and promised seriously: "I will be grateful to you and believe in you."
Luo Mingyue: "Yeah."
Ye Ningchuan no longer looked up at the sky. She turned and went into the kitchen to help Aunt Guo with the work.
Qing Rui was ignored and said angrily: "Luo Mingyue, why are you ignoring me?"
Since the man and the dragon had signed a contract, Qingrui knew Luo Mingyue's name.
Luo Mingyue said: "You should call me sister."
Qing Rui protested, "I am already eight thousand years old, old enough to be your ancestor!"
Luo Mingyue said: "But your baby voice is very cute."
Qingrui emphasized: "Don't describe me like that, I am a majestic dragon."
Luo Mingyue said casually: "Then I call you little ancestor?"
It was just a name, Luo Mingyue didn't care. She just wanted to tease this little guy, it was very interesting.
Qingrui originally wanted to nod, but for some reason, he suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart. This premonition was warning him not to accept this title, as if he would be in trouble if Luo Mingyue called him like that.
It's really strange. He is a majestic auspicious beast, the Azure Dragon, and is willing to be the ancestor of humans. It should be that humans are trying to get close to him, so why would he feel alarmed?
Could it be that Luo Mingyue had some special bloodline?
Qingrui stared at Luo Mingyue in confusion.
"Why aren't you talking?" Luo Mingyue chatted with him while replacing the clean water in the two villages and irrigating the farmland.
At this time, the children had almost finished their breakfast.
The children learn martial arts from Master Lu.
The women washed dishes, did laundry, cleaned the yard, and fed the poultry.
Doing housework is also a very time-consuming task. They are often busy for the whole morning and then have to prepare lunch for the family. They are never idle for a moment and it is very hard work.
The young people did not go out to hunt poisonous animals because the silver-haired prophet was away for the past two days. In addition, there was a water source in the village, so the young people had already started farming.
The old people like to move a bench next to the clear water basin put down by Luo Mingyue, sit there to bask in the sun and chat, and by the way, guard the clear water basin to prevent people from wasting water. Everyone has experienced drought and knows that days of water shortage are difficult to endure, so they attach great importance to water resources.
Liu Dashi took his younger brothers to carve stone statues of immortals.
The Liu brothers had been fed by the immortal this morning, and they worked extra hard, not wanting to rest until noon.
…
Mojia Village.
Lu Yunting slept in and didn't wake up until noon.
After waking up, Lu Yunting learned that he had missed breakfast and was heartbroken, "Brother Hanshi, why didn't you call me for breakfast?"
Mo Hanshi said: "I knocked on the door, but you told me to get out."
Lu Yunting was confused. "Ah? Did I say that?"
Mo Hanshi said: "You do, you are very irritable when you wake up."
Lu Yunting apologized, "I'm sorry, I admit my mistake. Next time if I don't get up, you can just open the door and pour a basin of cold water on my face to wake me up."
"You wish. Water is so precious, how could I throw it on you?" Mo Hanshi glanced at him.
Originally, the Mo brothers just couldn't bear to see Lu Yunting die outside, so they rescued him. After rescuing him, they didn't have much affection. When Lu Yunting woke up, the Mo family would arrange for him to live in an empty house in the village. But the immortal actually knew Lu Yunting, so the situation was different. After all, among the people in the two villages, the only ones who could see the immortal were Mo Jin, Jiang Yanfeng, Liu Dashi, Ye Ningchuan and the silver-haired prophet.
There are five people in total.
Of course, this is the number after excluding children.
Moreover, the Mo Family Village itself is the most devout believer of the Mingyue Immortal. People like Lu Yunting who can see the gods are considered to be immortals, and Mo Hanshi is more tolerant of him.
Otherwise, when Mo Hanshi heard the word "get out", he would have kicked the door open, dragged Lu Yunting out of the bed, and thrown him out of the door.
Lu Yunting yawned, washed up, and went to the toilet.
Luo Mingyue immediately looked away and went to provide lunch to the refugees.
The refugees have not yet built decent houses because the freshly cut black wood cannot be used to build houses. This kind of wood has less water content than ordinary wood. Ordinary wood may take more than half a year to dry, but the black wood grown in the Lilliputian country can survive in such a dry and rainy environment. It has a relatively low water content and usually only needs to be dried for three to five days before it can be used.
The refugees each marked out an area of their own house and first built a fence in the yard. Some made simple beds and covered them with hay, while others bought old mattresses from the villagers of Tianliu Village so that they could sleep more comfortably at night.
Ye Renyi still didn't want to work and shouted that he wanted to find his eldest daughter Ye Ningchuan, but he was beaten again.
Qu Xiaohua went out to chop down a tree and was sweating all over. The two eight-year-old children sensibly brought her water and towels.
Ye Renyi needed to recuperate and could not work, so he and his family would secretly hide some dry food on their bodies every time they ate, for fear that they would have nothing to eat for the next meal.
Qu Xiaohua came back from work, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and whispered to Ye Renyi: "Husband, I don't think Tianliu Village is a cannibal village. We have porridge and vegetables for every meal... I think it's good to stay here."
Ye Renyi snorted, "There is no such thing as a free lunch in the world. It's only been a short time and you're already speaking well of Tianliu Village..."
"But," Ye Renyi changed the subject and said, "Madam, I have thought about it carefully. If we run away, we will die of hunger and thirst in no time. It is better for us to stay outside Tianliu Village. At least we can have a few days of good life."
Qu Xiaohua nodded vigorously: "Yes, I think so too. Then let's work hard to build a house from today."
Ye Renyi hooked his finger at her.
Qu Xiaohua leaned over and whispered.
Ye Renyi said: "As long as I can see Ye Ningchuan, I can give her orders."
Qu Xiaohua also knew this, "The problem is that you can't see her at all. Ye Ningchuan has already moved into Tianliu Village."
Ye Renyi gnashed his teeth in hatred, "Yeah, this damn girl only knows how to enjoy herself, and doesn't consider her family at all, she is so selfish... I have an idea to trick her out of Tianliu Village."
