After simply cleaning up the debris on the ground, Chen Yao took the sleeping Yina from Yue Li's hand.
"Speaking of which, this girl woke up for a while in the morning and slept for most of the day..."
Chen Yao smoothed the girl's hair and said in a deep voice.
"Maybe this is the habit of the dragon people. After all, we know very little about other races, so there is nothing surprising."
Jiang Qingshan spoke to comfort him.
"No, that's not right. This didn't happen in the past few days... Could it be caused by something I did after I came back..."
"Ah, brother! Do I understand?"
Qiu Yueli hurriedly raised her little hand.
"Um?"
"Yesterday...didn't I feed Yina yesterday? She...she ate a lot! Even ten of me couldn't finish that much food! I forgot to mention...hehehehe."
"Well, come to think of it, huh... when I first found her, there were a lot of bones of various animals piled up near the place where she lived! She seemed to eat everything, including bugs and strange beasts. She must be hungry, after all, she was so young at that time, and her mother was also..."
Chen Yao touched his chin and suddenly paused as he spoke. The atmosphere became a little heavy...
"How is her mother? Can I tell you?"
Jiang Qingshan was confused. He seemed to have never heard Chen Yao mention Yi Na's mother.
"Come, hold me."
After much thought, Chen Yao decided to tell Jiang Qingshan alone. Although the girl was asleep, if she heard it, the consequences would be disastrous.
Yue Li took the girl, and Chen Yao took Jiang Qingshan into the inner room and told her everything about Yina's mother.
"Oh...that's what happened. I kept it secret from her because I was afraid that she would be sad. After all, she is only so young."
Chen Yao said with a rare sad look on his face.
"From your description, her mother is probably a dragon from a higher planet. She fled to this planet for unknown reasons and hid under the abyss. And... I'm afraid the cause of death was some kind of disease or physical problem. ..."
Jiang Qingshan analyzed it methodically.
"I'm afraid so...then what the hell..."
Chen Yao took out the ring and the paper with unidentifiable writing on it.
"I don't know this kind of writing either, but this ring is probably left to you as a token. I'll have to wait until you go out to find any information about it. You have to take good care of these two things."
Jiang Qingshan only glanced at it and returned the things to Chen Yao.
"I see."
"By the way...I have one more thing to give you."
Jiang Qingshan moved a small cabinet beside the bed and took out a small box from the hidden compartment on the wall behind.
"What is this? Is it possible that... you still have any other ancient skills that my parents left for me? Or is it a treasure that you want to give to me? Okay! You old man! You can hide it like this After many years, it’s just now handed to me!”
Chen Yao was so whimsical at this moment that he snatched the box from Jiang Qingshan's hand.
"Snapped!"
"Get out of here!"
Veins popped up on Jiang Qingshan's forehead, and he slapped Chen Yao hard on the back of the head.
"Hiss... you are so cruel! Ouch... I don't think I am your half-grandson! You are so cruel!"
Chen Yao rubbed the back of his head and hissed in pain.
"Then have you ever regarded me as your grandfather?!"
After Jiang Qingshan heard this, he was so angry that he blew his beard and stared.
"That's not true, hehehe..."
"Hmph! I don't think of you as my grandson! You bastard!"
"..."
"I said, old village chief, what is in this?"
After being hit and scolded, Jiang Qingshan lost most of his anger. Without replying, he carefully opened the box. Inside the box was a black bean half the size of a palm? !
"You don't want to introduce me? How do you cook this thing?"
"Shut up! It's okay to be disrespectful to me! How dare you disrespect Jiang Zu!? Believe it or not, I will remove you from Heiyuan Village?!"
It seemed that Jiang Qingshan was really angry this time. This tone was so frightening that Chen Yao shrank his neck and quickly stood up and bowed to the wooden box to apologize.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry! Ancestor Jiang, it's my fault! Just spare me..."
"Hmph! Okay, okay! You have some conscience, I believe Jiang Zu won't blame you."
Jiang Qingshan pulled Chen Yao back to sit down.
"Let's get down to business. You must remember what I'm going to say next! You absolutely can't just deal with it!"
"Yeah, yeah! I'm listening! You said it!"
"What's in this box is actually a seed."
"Seed? What does this have to do with the ancestor?"
Chen Yao said doubtfully.
"The huge vines you saw before began to grow in the fifth year after the ancestor's body was buried. Three years later, the vines grew taller than the house."
"Before the ancestor passed away, he left some books to the descendants. One of them is called [The Journey of the Gods], which records the strange things that happened when the ancestor traveled around the world in his early years. But the most important thing is that this book The last few pages contain prophecies!"
"What kind of prophecy?"
Chen Yao was fascinated by what he heard.
"About the village and some of his own prophecies. He chose the place where the ancestor was buried in advance. He told future generations to bury him there, otherwise the consequences are unpredictable."
"and after?"
"Later, his descendants followed the instructions exactly, and then huge plants grew..."
"What does this have to do with the prophecy?"
Chen Yao was a little confused.
"The prophecy is exactly the same as what happened next!! Five star years later, a plant will grow from the burial place, and after a few years it will be taller than the house. These are the original words left by the ancestors."
"So the prophecy was successful?"
"That's right, and what I'm going to say next is the most important thing! This seed was produced before you... before you were born."
Speaking of this, Jiang Qingshan's eyes dodge a little, as if he was hiding something.
"You mean...this vine grew for hundreds of years before it bloomed...and finally produced this seed??"
"Yes, this is also what the ancestors recorded and predicted. Alas! I think all the village chiefs were also looking forward to this day! I didn't expect such an arduous task to fall into my hands in the end..."
Having said this, Jiang Qingshan quickly straightened his face and said seriously.
"Chen Yao, this is also the most important thing I want to say. The ancestor's last prophecy said: "With my power, I can overdraw my life span for hundreds of years, which is beyond the limit of prediction. It's good to keep the seeds. This is the black abyss. The hope of the village!】"
"Now, this seed, which is also the hope of Black Abyss Village, is in your hands. I don't know how to use this seed. How to deal with it is up to you."
"Old village chief! How can this be done! I..."
Jiang Qingshan solemnly entrusted Chen Yao with such an arduous task, which made him a little panicked. This was the first time he had such a strong sense of mission, and he was a little uneasy.
"Chen Yao, you can do it! I am begging you, old man, but this is the only thing you have to agree to no matter what!"
Jiang Qingshan was about to bend down.
"Oh, the old village chief can't help it! I'll just take it! Aren't you trying to kill me?"
Chen Yao quickly stepped aside and helped the village chief up.
"Okay! Okay! All these years of hard work supporting you are not in vain, hahaha!"
Seeing Chen Yao's answer, Jiang Qingshan also began to laugh with relief, obviously in a good mood.
"Pull him down! No matter how hard you put it, Uncle Qiu and Auntie are all busy..."
Chen Yao muttered while putting away the small box.
"Ahem! Look at what you said..."
Just as Jiang Qingshan was trying to smooth things over awkwardly, Chen Yao raised his eyebrows as if he remembered something.
Oh, old man, I have something to tell you. You have to remember it. "
"Oh? What's the matter? Tell me."
"Absolutely, absolutely! Don't get closer than one kilometer to the ancient ruins I marked on the map! Absolutely! You must tell the exploring team about this!"
Jiang Qingshan also raised his eyebrows, and Chen Yao's tone made him feel a little unusual.
"There..."
"Don't ask! Don't be curious! Don't go there! Absolutely! Because there is something very scary there, and I don't know what it is..."
"I understand, I will issue a ban to everyone in the village, don't worry."
"That's good, that's good."
"Also, I'll give this to you, just keep it and share it with everyone to taste when the time comes. Don't ask any questions about the rest."
Chen Yao kept a few cans and bottles of water, and gave the rest to Jiang Qingshan.
"That's...okay."
The expression on Jiang Qing's face changed, and she became a little more smiling.
"You kid... you are quite concerned about the affairs of the village. You are my grandson anyway, and Hu Zi is not happy, so why not take the position of village chief..."
"Tch, no need, I don't care!"
"Hey, you little brat! Don't run away! I won't fix you!"
................................................................. ...
It was almost noon when the group of people left the village chief's house. They heard the village chief talking about a bunch of messy things. One was to prepare some things to keep out the cold, such as quilts and thick clothes. The second is to prepare some firewood and the like, because the wind is very strong at night in Black Abyss, and you will need these to resist the cold.
"Well... everyone will bring their own bedding and clothes later. At this point, it's time for us to eat..."
"Hmm~"
Chen Yao lowered his head and happened to bump into the girl who had just woken up in his arms, looking straight at Chen Yao with big eyes.
"You wake up when I talk about eating? What? Are you hungry again?"
Chen Yao stretched out his hand to rub the girl's belly. It was deflated and strange. He didn't see her going to the latrine. Why... Just as he was thinking about it, he felt a push coming from his hand. He looked down and saw Yina. Zheng blushed and pushed Chen Yao's palm outward hard.
"Ah! Sorry, sorry! I just wanted to make sure you are really hungry... Hey, hey! Why is this little girl biting..."
After Chen Yao explained it to the girl, she relaxed, but she still looked angry.
"Brother Yao! You can't touch a girl's belly casually! Why do you always like to take advantage of girls!"
Yue Li pulled Chen Yao's arm hard.
"Tch! This is my daughter! I can make it round or flat any way I want! Right? Hehehehe..."
Chen Yao had a silly smile on his face.
"..."
"Well... let's go and eat~ Let's see what delicious food Auntie made today~"
"Bah! I'm not getting straight every day!"
