Chapter 20 The Old Man's Prayer



"Are you reading?"

Deng Ru walked up to the girl, waved his hands, and casually glanced at the book that Qiu Yuan placed on the desk.

It is a history book of Blue Star.

Due to the existence of the gods on Blue Star, the history of Blue Star is also different from that of Earth.

For example, World War II, a world war also took place on Blue Planet.

However, unlike on Earth, ordinary people do not need to go to the battlefield to die.

Those who are sent to die are gods and fanatics.

After all, ordinary people can no longer be considered combat forces; they are resources to be plundered.

The page that Qiu Yuan turned to was the one that described the World War on Blue Star.

"Well, it's a bit boring, Brother Ru, I don't know what I want to do now."

Qiu Yuan changed her position and continued rocking the rocking chair under her.

I just heard her continue speaking.

"Brother Ru, I don't understand. I can do whatever I want in the future, even if it means reaching for the stars in the sky... Okay, Mom and Dad can't do that, but in short, as long as I want to do something, Mom and Dad will do everything they can to help me achieve it. But now, I don't know what I want to play or where I want to go. It's weird."

Qiu Yuan's words revealed a hint of confusion.

Yes, no matter how much you pretend to be happy.

She was just a young girl after all, and it was remarkable that she could pretend to be at ease in the face of such great danger between life and death.

How could there be a great man like Zhuangzi who saw through life and death and still be able to sing and enjoy himself in the face of life and death?

Deng Ru could imagine it and understand it.

He actually felt very sorry for Qiu Yuan and the girls who were chosen as brides.

Knowing your own death date a month in advance, and knowing that your death will be horrible, who can bear it?

In Deng Ru's eyes, Qiu Yuan at this moment was like a small animal facing a tiger, trembling with fear all over.

But I still have to pretend that I am not afraid in front of my relatives and friends to reassure them.

"A friend of mine invited me to dinner. Do you want to go with me?"

Deng Ru actually didn't know how to talk about profound principles or the meaning of life to a young girl who knew she would die soon.

Does this make sense?

It would be better to take her to the dock and get some French fries.

"Ah... Would it be impolite to bring me along? After all, they only invited Brother Ru."

"Don't worry, who is your brother Aru? He's a god. It's a great honor for that kid to be able to invite a god to dinner. Don't worry, he won't care about these things."

Deng Ru patted his chest and promised.

The one who invited him to dinner was a county-level god. At the county level, would he be afraid of having one more mouth to feed at the buffet?

"It's just that when we get there, don't say you're my follower or anything like that. Just say you're my childhood sweetheart. And don't reveal my identity as a deity."

"Eh? Childhood sweethearts, me? Me and Brother Aru? Is this really okay?"

Qiu Yuan suddenly sat up from the rocking chair, her hands constantly touching everywhere, from the desk, to the books on the desk, to the mobile phone on the desk, and finally to the flowers on the flower bed. She touched them all.

A blush appeared on her face.

"Why not? You are my only believer. This identity is more important than being a childhood sweetheart."

Deng Ru patted Qiu Yuan's shoulder and smiled gently.

"Then... I'll get ready. Brother Ru, wait a moment!"

Qiu Yuan said as she pushed open the glass door of her store and rushed in at an extremely fast speed.

“…What…is this for?”

Deng Ru didn't quite understand why Qiu Yuan ran back home.

But since we have to wait, let's wait.

"You...you are the deity Xiaoyuan mentioned?"

An old voice sounded.

An old man with a cane walked unsteadily to Deng Ru.

"Yes, it's me. Who are you, old man?"

Deng Ru glanced at the staggering old man.

This old man was definitely not Qiu Yuan's grandfather. After all, Qiu Yuan had told him that her grandfather had passed away long ago.

"Ah, I'm an ordinary citizen of this street. I'm just a little older. These children were all raised by me, the old man."

When the old man said this, he threw his crutches aside and knelt down with his hunched body trembling.

"So, sir, I'm begging you, old man, to please save the children on this street. The spirit has chosen ten girls. I've watched these girls grow up. When they were little, they would come to chat with me every day. They're all very kind children."

The old man was in tears, and his words were full of sorrow.

“.........”

In this situation, Deng Ru was a little at a loss.

A pitiful, hunchbacked old man kneels on the ground, begging you with tears in his eyes.

The crying was heart-wrenching, not like acting at all.

This old man really treats all the children he has seen grow up as family members.

Losing his family is undoubtedly the most painful thing for him.

"Old man, please get up first. I promise you that I will do my best to rescue these innocent girls. Don't worry."

He now has more than 200 million ants, and only five days have passed.

The queen ant is still increasing the number of meat beds. With one billion ants, there is complete hope.
