"Hey, have you heard? Then the elder of the Chen family is not good either."
"Ah? The old village chief's family? This old man has only been gone for a few months. How can he not become a grown man?"
"It is said that I caught a cold during the funeral, and I haven't been able to cough since then. No, it has been delayed until now, and it is completely gone."
"Isn't his girl good at treating illnesses? How could she get so serious after just catching a cold and coughing a few times?"
"Hmph, so what if we see a doctor again? It's not like there is a disaster star in the family. That girl is still protecting her like a treasure, and I don't think so..."
"Shh, stop talking, the disaster star is coming..."
Carrying a large bundle of firewood and a basket of herbs, Yu Zhu glanced coldly at the two gossiping villagers and kept walking past them.
He has heard these words since he was a child and has long been used to them.
He didn't care about the gossip. The most urgent thing was to cure his uncle's illness.
The herbs in the mountains are limited, so it seems that we have to find a way to earn more money to buy better medicine.
His steps were fast and powerful, bringing with him a gust of cool breeze as he passed by the two villagers.
The two people couldn't help but shudder.
"Hey, did you just see it? The disaster star is the disaster star. That look... is really scary."
Another villager couldn't help but rub the goosebumps on his arms: "No, I thought it was winter again just now... Hey, tell me, the disaster star heard us talking about him, no? Will he take revenge on us and curse us?!"
"Hey! Don't scare me. Which family in the village is not talking about him these days, how can he take revenge on the whole village? Forget it, go home and take a shower, don't get any bad luck!"
"Yes, yes, I have to wash up too..."
Xiao Ling was sitting in the small courtyard of their "home". Outside the door was the scene in the "field". Seeing this scene, she couldn't help but frown.
This is not the first time that this kind of scene has occurred. It can be said that no matter where Yu Zhu goes, he is always faced with such comments and supercilious looks, as if the efforts he and Bai Yue had made over the past few years have returned to the starting point in an instant.
No, maybe it was worse, because the death of the village chief and the serious illness of his uncle seemed to provide strong evidence that Yu Zhu was a disaster star.
Sure enough, no matter what time it is, rumors are the sharpest murder weapon.
"Aling, stop sighing and come and eat the fruit."
Han Yuan sat down next to Xiao Ling and handed a piece of fruit to his mouth. It turned out to be a big and red cherry. He didn't know where he got it.
Xiao Ling subconsciously opened his mouth and ate it. The sweet juice burst in his mouth, which relieved some of the worries in his heart.
"Is it delicious?" Han Yuan twisted another one and handed it over, asking with a smile.
"Well, it's very sweet." Xiao Ling nodded and opened his mouth to bite the cherry again.
But then another mouth came over and snatched half of his cherry without any explanation, taking away the juice stained on his lips.
"Really? Let me try...well, it is indeed very sweet~"
"..." Xiao Ling was speechless, this person just liked to steal what he said, a gangster.
However, his mood did feel much better: "In this season, are there cherries already?"
Seeing that he was no longer upset about other people's affairs, Han Yuan curled his lips with satisfaction: "Well, summer is the season for cherries. But there are not many ripe ones, but it took me a long time to find them. So sweet.”
He thought about asking for credit and reward, but Xiao Ling was slightly startled: "So it's summer again?"
In this way, they have been living in this 'field' for four years.
Time really flies, his life with Han Yuan remains the same, but Bai Yue and Yu Zhu's life has been turned upside down.
"Brother Han, do you think the village chief and uncle... are really related to Yu Zhu or Bai Yue?"
"Of course not." Han Yuan stuffed himself with a fruit and lay lazily on the rocking chair. "It has been said that everyone has his own destiny. This is what their destiny should be. What does it have to do with others?"
"But didn't you say before that Bai Yue's life energy, which was taken away by her parents, will be extended if she stays with her blood relatives?" Xiao Ling was stunned. He was still worried that Bai Yue had unconsciously absorbed the life energy of his relatives. It seems that is not the case. .
"Her parents' lifespan has expired, and the blessings of death will disappear. The life energy given to Bai Yue will naturally dissipate slowly, but with the energy of blood relatives accompanying it, it will dissipate slower."
The scene in "Field" shifts to Bai Yue's home, where Yu Zhu is chopping firewood, Bai Yue is boiling medicine, and her aunt is taking care of her uncle who is sick and can hardly get out of bed.
When one person is sick, the whole family looks haggard.
Xiao Ling wanted to sigh again, but held it back: "Now my uncle is Bai Yue's only remaining blood relative. If it was him, then..."
"Don't be so sad." Lord Ghost King was even jealous, and continued to feed the fruit so that Xiao Ling had no time to worry about others, and then said slowly, "As I said before, Yu Zhu has a tough life, and the two of them are together. Places are originally fates that are in conflict with each other.”
"But..." he changed his voice, "In the end, they must not be able to withstand it. The outcome has been decided. There is not much time left in this 'game'. No matter what happens to them, it will be their own cause and effect. Accept.
We might as well seize the time and live a happy life together~"
After talking about it, he started to be rude again.
Xiao Ling shook his head helplessly. Yes, he had told himself many times that the outcome was decided, but he still couldn't help but worry.
Perhaps it is because this "field" is different from the illusions I have experienced before. This time I am completely immersed in it, watching it minute by minute, and the protagonist of the story is a familiar person, so I feel deeply.
"Okay Aling, don't look at them..."
Han Yuan pestered him again. Perhaps because there was not much time left in the "field", he became more and more restless and irritable, and Xiao Ling was happy to take the trouble to comfort him.
Because when this plot point is over, the last plot point will probably be the real reveal of Han Yuan’s life experience and the truth about what he is like now.
If things go well, they may be able to be together for the rest of their lives, but if things go wrong...
No, that won't happen.
After that, the days rolled by again.
Maybe the fine medicinal materials Yu Zhu bought from the city worked, or maybe God finally opened his eyes and my uncle's health actually got better day by day.
I thought Xu would not be able to survive the summer, but now he can survive until the New Year.
Because of his serious illness, very few villagers visited the village to give gifts during the Chinese New Year this year, making it seem particularly deserted. However, Bai Yue was particularly happy.
This was her happiest day since Aweng left.
"Uncle, today's meal was cooked by me and brother Yuzhu. Try it. Is it not much worse than my aunt's cooking?"
"Ahem, uncle, try it... Hmm~ This soup is so delicious, our Yueyue's cooking skills are really good~! Haha..."
"Well, this dish is also delicious, and this, I'll try this scrambled egg... uh, salty... fresh, also delicious."
"Pfft~" My aunt couldn't help laughing and started teasing, "On this table, you fried the eggs, but the rest was cooked by this guy. How can you say that so shamelessly, little girl?"
"Auntie, please don't expose me..." Bai Yue stuck out her tongue in embarrassment, "I don't care, what Brother Yuzhu does is what I do, it's the same~! Right, Brother Yuzhu?"
"Well, I'll be the one to do it from now on." Yu Zhu touched Bai Yue's head. To outsiders, the young man who looked cold and gloomy seemed so gentle at this time.
"Okay..." My uncle and aunt looked at each other, smiled happily, and looked straight, as if they had made an important decision.
"Yueyue, Yuzhu, I discussed it with your aunt, cough cough cough -"
Halfway through his words, my uncle couldn't help coughing for a while before he regained his composure and continued:
"Now dad...it has been a year. As my granddaughter, Yueyue doesn't need to keep filial piety for so long. So I just thought...
While I'm still here, I'll get you two married.
It can be regarded as...fulfilling the old man's wish. "
Bai Yue's smile froze, and her eyes gradually became wet as he spoke.
She wanted to say that her uncle's illness would be cured. She wanted to say... she wanted to say many things, but in the end she just uttered one word: "...good."
