C47 Old Village Chief
C47 Old Village Chief
The excited villagers put down their hoes and sickles and rushed to the entrance of the village.
In a few minutes, the entrance of the village was tightly surrounded. Yu Yue was surrounded by three layers of inner and outer layers.
The noisy and cheerful noises exploded in the crowd. The villagers behind couldn't help but want to see this young man who saved the girl.
He felt like he had returned to Earth. The feeling of being surrounded by fans on the streets was exactly the same.
That's right. With his identity as the number one swordsman in China, he was very popular in China. After every match, there would be a large number of fans asking for his autograph after the match ended.
Therefore, he had a lot of experience with this kind of situation.
He lowered his hand to attract attention, then coughed a few more times. The noise in the scene gradually became smaller and smaller.
He said, "Everyone, I can understand your excitement when you saw Qing, but she is still in a coma right now. I hope I can send her to the village chief's house first."
The scene instantly quietened down and everyone noticed Bai Yuqing closing her eyes.
They originally thought that she was tired and fell asleep, but they did not expect that she was in a coma.
Immediately, a villager asked nervously, "Qing, she... Is there anything wrong with her? Why did she fall unconscious?"
He had already thought of the wording long ago. "Don't worry, Qing's life is not in danger. She just fainted. After I rescued her, something happened on the way. These things... can't be explained clearly. I hope everyone can understand." After he finished speaking, many villagers nodded. Indeed, it was not good to tell the details of the girl's coma in such an occasion.
"I just want to send Qing to the village chief as soon as possible. After all, the person who is most worried about her is the village chief." When he looked around, he did not see the white-bearded village chief. Based on the condition of the village chief when he left, it was very likely that he fell ill at home.
The villagers were not unreasonable fanatics. When they heard this, they immediately opened up a path.
He carried the beautiful girl on his back. He brought the crowd to the village chief's house.
"Bang, bang, bang." He knocked on the village chief's door. He did not hear a reply for a long time.
A middle-aged woman behind him said, "Go in directly. The door is not locked. The village chief has been ill for several days. I am the one taking care of him."
He nodded at the woman, pushed open the wooden door, and walked in.
When he entered, he saw a warm living room. It didn't change much from the last time he came here. However, the curtains were closed, and the sunlight couldn't penetrate through, making the room seem gloomy.
The village chief was not in the living room. When he came to the bedroom, he saw the village chief lying on the bed.
Compared to before he left, the village chief did not seem to be the same person.
The current village chief was haggard and his face was as pale as a sheet of paper. His dry and sparse white hair hung on his head listlessly. It seemed that he had lost a lot of weight in the past month. His originally thin face now looked more like a skull. Because his eyes were closed, he looked like he was dead.
The only person who came in with Yu Yue was the woman who took care of the village chief. She looked at the village chief. She could not bear to see him. "Village chief... He has been in this state for half a month after you left. If you don't come back soon, the village chief might not even be able to last for the next month. "
Seeing the village chief's haggard appearance, he felt pity for this old man. Regardless of how he usually behaved, after all, he was still an ordinary old man who doted on his granddaughter.
The woman came to the bed of the village chief and shook him. "Village Chief Bai, I'm here. Do you feel uncomfortable now?"
The chief should be sleeping. He only woke up after being pushed by the woman a few times.
A pair of turbid eyes saw the woman and weakly shook his head. He replied, "It's alright... It's been hard on you these few days, little Lian."
Because the woman was very close, the village chief did not see Yu Yue behind her.
The woman also pretended to be calm and continued, "It's alright, it should be done. I came today to bring you good news. Do you want to hear it?"
The village chief smiled bitterly and shook his head. "Good news? There is no good news in the world for me now. Unless my lovely granddaughter appears in front of me... but how is that possible? That poor child is already... "As he speaks, the old man starts crying. He lay there crying.
The woman could not bear to keep the village chief's appetite any longer. She took a deep breath and said, "Yu Yue is back!"
The old man cried and cried. It took him a long time to react before he stopped crying.
He stared blankly at the woman. His withered hand trembled from under the blanket and reached out to grab the woman's arm. "What... what did you say?"
"I said, Yu Yue is back!"
The old man's turbid eyes widened. "Then my granddaughter..."
The woman laughed and shouted in the old man's ear, "Qing, Your granddaughter has also returned!"
"What!" The village chief, who was still under the blanket as if he was about to die, jumped up in the next second. After he stood up, he saw Yu Yue behind the woman. His small eyes were fixed on the side of Qing's face.
At this moment, the village chief was looking at Qing. There's no sick look. Although his body was small and small, he was like a gust of wind that swept past, and with a swoosh, he appeared in front of Yu Yue. He snatched Bai Yuqing from his hand all of a sudden, and his tone involuntarily rose by eight degrees. "Oh, my granddaughter!"
He hugged Bai Yuqing and cried for a long time. When he discovered that she was in a coma, he suddenly turned his head with killing intent and asked Yu Yue, "What happened to Qing? Why did she lose consciousness?"
"This..." Yu Yue hesitated and looked at the woman. The woman understood what he meant. She left the room and closed the door.
The room returned to silence.
After the village chief carried Bai Yuqing back to her own room and settled her down, he gestured for her to come to the living room.
At this time, the village chief was already dressed. He sat there majestically and his sharp eyes pierced towards Yu Yue. He looked exactly the same as when he was lying on the bed just now.
The village chief coughed and said, "I lost my composure just now. First, I would like to thank you for saving my granddaughter from the evil Ice Snow Ape Devil King. Then, I would like to know why she fainted."
The village chief leaned forward anxiously, his eyes revealing deep worry.
"Don't worry, her life is not in danger." As he spoke, he considered.
Although this old man acted like an elder who was worried about his granddaughter, Bai Yuqing had too many mysteries. He could not directly believe this old man and tell him all those strange things.
"Before telling you the truth, I want to ask you first. You should know that Qing has the constitution to provoke the Devil Beast, right?"
The chief's expression turned cold and he frowned, "You even know about this... That's right. After all, it was you who saved Qing." Then he nodded and said, "Indeed, I have found out that she has this kind of constitution since she was young. That's why I kept her from leaving the village. I was afraid that she would be taken away by the Devil Beast. But in the end, this happened... "
"Then do you know why she has this kind of physique?" He asked tentatively.
The village chief's eyes flashed for a moment, as if he had thought of something at that moment, and then he shook his head decisively: "I don't know... this type of physique might be born!"
Although the village chief only wavered for a moment, Yu Yue clearly noticed this point.
"To be honest, when I arrived at the Ice Snow Ape Devil King's nest, it was already three days after Qing was captured. In these three days, Qing was not eaten by it. It was not even treated as food for storage. Instead, the Ice Snow Ape Devil King found food for her to eat. That feeling... was as if it was rearing her in captivity. "
He looked into the Village Chief's eyes. "Moreover, Qing was also taken away once when she was young. That time, she also returned unharmed... I feel that this isn't something an ordinary Devil Beast would do."
His expression was serious as he said word by word: "No, it should be said that... the Devil Beast's reaction towards Qing is extraordinary!"
The village chief's face slowly sank. He narrowed his eyes and stared into Yu Yue's eyes, wanting to find it in them. He said, "You mean..."
"All this time, we have misunderstood the Devil Beast's intention. It is very likely that the Devil Beast did not capture Qing to kill or eat her. There should be other areas on her that attracted the Devil Beast!"
