"Carry your poisoned family members to the ancient well, and everyone follow me."
Although the villagers were doubtful, they still followed her out. Village chief Jin also followed, smoking a cigarette. Li Gan had difficulty moving his legs and had a hunch that something bad was wrong.
Jin Qiu glared at Hu Ya and quickly followed. Su Shi, holding Ye Xiaohu, followed Ye Nuan closely. She didn't know the answer to her daughter's question. She was curious and wanted to know the answer, but for whatever reason, she was absolutely convinced that her daughter wasn't a monster. She had carried her daughter for ten months and given birth to her. Her Ah Nuan was kinder than anyone else.
As the morning mist dissipated, people began to carry the poisoned villagers who could not walk to the ancient well. Those who could walk gathered together with the help of others.
The young and old, men and women in the village gathered and looked at Ye Nuan who was standing by the well.
After waiting for a moment, Village Chief Jin put down his pipe and asked Ye Nuan, "Why did you ask us to come here?"
"Yes, everyone is here, you can tell me now."
Ye Nuan said solemnly, "All those who have been poisoned should line up in a row. The rest of you should move away. Those who can't stand should lie down."
The villagers were a little hesitant.
Ye Nuan's expression suddenly turned cold: "Do you still miss them?"
The crowd dispersed immediately, leaving only the twenty or so poisoned people sitting or lying in a row. In front of everyone, Ye Nuan held out his hand, and a seed appeared from nowhere in his previously empty palm. The villagers were surprised and horrified.
Immediately, a stream of moisture spread across her palm. The seeds trembled and swayed before sprouting wildly. Tender green branches stretched toward the ground, and each branch instantly burst into bloom, bursting with large rose blossoms. A delicate fragrance drifted on the wind, reaching the tip of the nose. Everyone felt an inexplicable sense of comfort, even their backs felt straighter.
Some people in the crowd began to exclaim.
Then Ye Nuan stretched out her right hand towards the well, and a thin stream of water flowed along the rose in her palm, finally forming dewdrops that dripped down the flowers onto the twenty or so poisoned people on the ground.
At that moment, the sky was ablaze with radiant light, enveloping the entire village. Dewdrops, refracted by the sunlight, formed a multicolored glow, which then sank into the bodies of more than twenty people. Ye Nuan exerted her strength to stimulate the spiritual spring, and the petals that had already bloomed became even more brilliant.
At this moment, Ye Nuan seemed to be enveloped in a Buddha's light, her coarse clothes fluttering in the wind. She looked less like a demon and more like a fairy, isolated from the world. She was a fairy sent down by the heavens to save the desolate land, unable to bear the suffering it brought.
Someone knelt down first, kowtowed to Ye Nuan, and shouted excitedly: "This is a miracle, a fairy, she is a fairy."
As soon as someone started, others would immediately kneel down, fearing that they would not kowtow slowly and thus not receive the fairy's blessing.
"Fairy, the one from the Ye family is a fairy who has descended to earth, she is a fairy!"
Village Chief Jin was so shocked that he stood up straight, and the pipe in his hand hit the back of his foot with a snap. He rubbed his eyes carefully with his rough yellow hands, looking incredulous!
How is that possible!
Twenty or so people who had been poisoned, sitting or lying down, were soon alive and kicking. Not only were they all fine, but they felt relaxed and shouted to their family, "I'm fine! It's amazing! I'm fine!"
"She is definitely an immortal!"
Mrs. Su also looked at her daughter in a daze: She had joked last night that her daughter must be a fairy, and she didn't expect it to come true today. But when did her daughter become a fairy?
Jin Qiu's eyes lit up as she looked at Ye Nuan, and she admired her more and more. She knew that Sister Nuan was so amazing, she must be a god.
Hu Ya was still in a daze when she was dragged down to her knees by her mother. She seemed unable to believe it, but she had to believe it as it was a complete miracle.
She can take objects from the air, make things happen in an instant, turn water drops into dew, and shine brightly. Each of these things is beyond human power. She doesn't act like a demon, but more like a god.
Ye Nuan looked around as she stimulated the rose seeds in her hand. A satisfied smile appeared on her face. This was the effect she wanted. Since she couldn't hide it anymore, she had to find a better excuse. Since she was going to pretend to be a god, she had to make it a grand event, a scene that would deeply penetrate everyone's mind and instill awe in them.
She withdrew her hand. Without the nourishment of the spiritual spring and the soil, the rose in her palm, its intricate and vibrant blossom, blew away by the wind, instantly disintegrating into countless petals that flew towards the kneeling crowd. Ye Nuan's voice became ethereal and light, and she spoke calmly, "I am the reincarnation of the God of Spring, a minister of the Eastern Heavenly Emperor Taihao. I oversee the growth of all things in heaven and earth. The wilderness has been bitterly cold for too long, and I cannot bear it. However, the ignorant people have listened to the slander of the villains and wanted to harm me. In that case, I will not stay any longer."
"We leave this place today, but in the future, Dahuang Village will continue to suffer from water shortages, drought, and a precarious situation."
The more she spoke, the more frightened everyone became. They all knelt and moved to surround her, refusing to let her leave. They kowtowed repeatedly, saying, "Goddess, we were wrong, we were wrong. Please stay. We will respect and worship you from now on."
Ye Nuan looked up at the pale-faced Li Gan. Everyone immediately understood and stepped forward to hold him down. Li Gan was indignant and was pinned to the ground, making his final struggle: "You say you are a god, but how can a god look like you? You can't even heal the scars on your face. You clearly said you killed more than a dozen people. How can a god kill people? Don't be fooled by her."
"Many of you have seen her face, right? If you have the ability, try to fix your own face!"
He was almost hysterical. Ye Nuan sighed, her voice vast and compassionate, "Mortals are blinded by a single leaf. Well, I'll make you completely awake."
She took off her headscarf in front of everyone, and her face as white as jade appeared before everyone.
Her face was as bright as spring flowers brushing against willows, and although she was wearing only plain clothes, she was as clean as fresh dewdrops. She was even more beautiful than Jiang Ji from the Creation Pavilion. No, these two people could not be compared. Jiang Ji was a romantic figure, while she was indescribable.
Li Gan was completely exhausted. Suddenly he struggled and knelt down in front of her, crying: "I was wrong, I was wrong, goddess, I shouldn't have offended you, it's my fault, it's all..." He looked at the village chief, who narrowed his eyes, took two or three steps forward, kicked him to the ground, and tore off his clothes to stuff his mouth.
Then he said, "This man has offended the goddess and is worthy of death. Since he likes to gossip so much, why not cut off his tongue and throw him out of Dahuang Village? What do you think?"
The indignant villagers echoed: "Yes, cut off his tongue and throw him out of Dahuang Village!"
"Cut off your tongue and throw it out of Dahuang Village!"
"Cut off your tongue and throw it out of Dahuang Village!"
"Cut off your tongue and throw it out of Dahuang Village!"
Village Chief Jin looked at Ye Nuan again, "What do you think, Goddess?"
Ye Nuan knew clearly that this was a conspiracy between Village Chief Jin and Li Gan, but what could she do? If she touched him now, it would only lead to a lose-lose situation, not to mention that Jin Qiu had protected her like that.
Li Gan, lying on the ground, shook his head desperately, but Ye Nuan did not sympathize with him at all. This kind of person should have died long ago, and staying in the village would only bring trouble.
"Just as the village chief said."
She added, "From now on, everyone should just call me Ye Nuan and interact with me as usual. Also, don't spread my affairs."
"It's the goddess!"
Ye Nuan frowned, and everyone immediately changed their tone, stammering, "Ye, Goddess Ye."
Ye Nuan was helpless. It must have been because her move was too intimidating. The villagers hadn't reacted for a moment. With everyone's respectful farewell, Ye Nuan returned home with her mother, Xiao Hu, and a shining Jin Qiu.
As soon as the gate closed, Jin Qiu circled around Ye Nuan, staring at her face, wanting to speak but not daring to. She didn't look like her usual hot pepper at all. Ye Nuan smiled gently, patted her head and said, "Just call me Ah Qiu like before."
Only then did Jin Qiu happily call Sister A Nuan again and again, repeatedly asking, "Sister A Nuan, what is your heaven like? Is it filled with flowers and cranes everywhere?"
Ye Nuan couldn't describe heaven too well. If she suddenly wanted to become a fairy with him, it would be troublesome. "Being a fairy is very hard. You can't have any emotions. You can only guard your duties for thousands of years without changing. You can't taste the delicacies of the world. You can only drink flowers and dew day after day. You can't sleep. There are things to deal with every day."
"It's still better here. I can eat a lot of delicious food, get to know the kind-hearted Aqiu, and help the villagers."
Ye Nuan's description shattered Jin Qiu's longing for godhood. She pouted and said, "Ah, being a god is so miserable. How can you get enough by eating flower petals? You have to work every day and can't even sleep! Then Sister Nuan, don't go back. Just stay in Dahuang Village."
Su on the side chuckled.
Ye Nuan looked at her mother and smiled.
Jin Qiu said again: "Sister An Nuan, you are so beautiful. Why did you have a scar on your face before?" She had never dared to ask before, but now she can ask.
Ye Nuan said, "Sister, you got the scar because of something bad that happened to you before, but don't worry, it's fine as long as it's healed now."
"Then does Sister A Nuan know any magical skills?"
Ye Nuan casually conjured up a tomato for her, shocking Jin Qiu so much that her eyes widened. It was still too incredible to see it up close!
Ye Nuan handed her the tomato and chuckled, "You can't use magic carelessly, or the heavens will punish you. From now on, you can only use it to grow crops and improve the wasteland."
"Okay, I understand. Sister Nuan, I'm going back first. I'll come back tomorrow." She waved to Ye Nuan and happily left with the tomatoes.
As soon as she left, the Ye family became quiet.
Ye Nuan looked at her mother, laughed again, and asked, "Aren't you curious, mother?"
Su was very cautious. She asked Xiaohu to watch outside the yard while she pulled Ye Nuan into the house. The door was open. She faced the doorway and looked at Ye Nuan. "Of course, I'm curious, but you're my child. I can tell whether you're human or god. Tell me what's going on."
She added, "Don't try to fool me with dragon veins."
Ye Nuan pondered for a while and said, "Mom, do you remember that I suddenly fainted when I was at Shentian Pass?"
"I remember." At that time, her daughter was very thin, her eyes were silent, her expression was distracted, and she looked like she could die at any time. She is still frightened.
Ye Nuan continued, "I was truly dying at that time. My soul drifted and fell into a clear spring, and I instantly regained consciousness. Life is but a hundred years long, so there's no need to risk my life for a man. From that day on, I was no longer the same Ye Nuan. I wanted to create a new life for myself."
"When I woke up, I found a birthmark on my hand. Inside the birthmark was a clear spring. We were running out of water at the time, so I dripped some spring water into it. It was sweet, thirst-quenching, and gave me strength. Later, when my mother was injured, I mixed the spiritual spring water into the medicine powder, and her wound healed immediately."
She showed the birthmark on her hand to Su.
"When you plant vegetables, add spiritual spring water, and they grow very fast. Wild animals seem to be particularly close to the spiritual spring. There are also many things I didn't know before that the spiritual spring taught me. There are soil and seeds inside, and it can also store items. These things are really amazing, I don't know how to tell you."
"Mom, I'm sorry, I lied to you before!"
Even now it is half true and half false. I am really sorry, but I will definitely treat you, Xiaohu, well in the future.
Su thought back, no wonder the water she drank before was so clear and sweet, but the water she drank at the village chief's house was different. The wound on her back quickly scabbed over and healed, and her old ailments were all healed. It turned out to be all thanks to her daughter Lingquan.
There really are such magical things in the world!
"Then it was you who brought water out of the old well before?"
Ye Nuan nodded: "The spiritual spring can sense underground water."
"That little tiger's strength suddenly increased?"
Ye Nuan scratched his head. "I don't know what happened. Xiaohu was sick that day, and I was anxious so I gave him a big gulp of spiritual spring water. He woke up like this. But I tried it later, and my strength didn't increase."
She was a little annoyed: "Mom, I'm sorry." She went to pull Su's hand.
Su chuckled lightly, then suddenly said proudly, "What's there to be sorry about? Increased strength is a good thing. See, I told you that after all your misfortunes, you've found such a great treasure." She thought for a moment, then said solemnly, "Ah Nuan, you must never tell anyone else what you told me today. Not Xiaohu, not your future husband. A man is innocent, but he is guilty of possessing a treasure. From now on, just follow what we said by the well today. Do you understand?"
Ye Nuan's nose felt sore. Her mother was really so nice.
"Yes, I heard it clearly."
Su stared at Ye Nuan's hand, then asked cautiously: "Um, let me touch your wrist."
Ye Nuan: “.” Her mother is so funny.
Ye Nuan stretched out her hand and let her mother examine her from top to bottom.
Su studied it for a while but couldn't figure it out. She curled her lips and said, "It's just this birthmark. There's water, seeds, and soil inside it. It can also hold things. Where are these things placed? They can't be placed inside your body, right?" She looked Ye Nuan up and down again, "She doesn't look fat!"
Ye Nuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Mom, maybe there really are gods in this world. I'm very lucky to have found a treasure left behind by a fairy. Fairy things are inherently magical, and they're beyond the comprehension of mortals like us."
Su realized: "That's right, why don't you try to transform me into the space?" She went to take a look herself.
Then Ye Nuan followed her mother and acted silly. After trying a few times, she finally felt like she was having a brain attack.
After witnessing Ye Nuan's miracle, the villagers were left feeling restless. They had been exiled to Dahuang Village, believing they would live a life of precariousness, hardship, and poverty. But now, a miracle has befallen Dahuang Village, and their chances of recovery are just around the corner.
Maybe life will be better in the future than in the interior.
The villagers did not dare to disturb Ye Nuan for the time being, so they gathered together to discuss the matter of worshipping the true God. After discussing it over and over again, they still could not come to a conclusion. The matter still needed the decision of the village chief, so they all ran to the village chief's house.
Village Chief Jin returned home with a rare gloomy expression. Mrs. Tao's greetings were ignored, and after a long silence, he headed straight for Jin Bao's room. Jin Bao had a stomachache since returning yesterday, but it was gone after two bowel movements. Now, covered in his blanket, he was so bored he was humming a little tune. When he saw his father come in, he was startled and slowly sat up.
"Dad, Dad, why are you here?"
Village Chief Jin frowned as soon as he saw him and asked, "Did you let Aqiu out?"
"Well, well..." Jinbao thought his father was going to hit him, and he had already covered his head with his hands, but his father seemed to be a little abnormal today.
"Dad, you can't blame me for this. Qiu said she would die if he didn't let her out. Even though she's usually annoying, I can't really watch her die, right?"
Village Chief Jin resisted the urge to beat his own son to death and asked, "Have you seen the Ye family girl's face before? Does she really have a scar on her face?"
Jinbao didn't know why his father asked this, but he answered honestly: "Really, it's a big piece, covering the entire right side of my face. Dapeng, Xiao Liao and the others saw it, it was so scary!" He is still scared.
Just when he was about to ask his father why he asked this, a group of noisy people came to his house. Jin Bao followed his father out and understood what the villagers said. Only then did he realize that he had missed some magical scene. Suddenly, he felt unwell again.
When Jin Qiu came back, he pestered Jin Qiu with questions, asking repeatedly: "A Qiu, can you let Ye Nuan cast a spell on me alone and heal me?"
Jin Qiu rolled her eyes at him and said, "Why don't you get well? Sister A Nuan has treated you before."
"That's different."
When Jin Qiu ignored him, he ran to the village chief, Jin, and started to hang around. Annoyed, Jin hit him on the head and cursed, "Do you have a pig's brain? Do you really believe in gods?"
Jin Bao covered his head in dissatisfaction: "...I'm not the only one who believes..."
Mrs. Tao was unhappy that her husband had hit her son again and said angrily, "I believe it too. Otherwise, why do people look so good after eating her food?"
Village Chief Jin couldn't help but feel a headache when he saw his wife and children's unwavering faith: This Ye Nuan is too difficult to deal with!
In August, Dahuang Village is extremely lively.
Su's curiosity wore off, and she began to follow Ye Nuan in pulling up the growing chili seedlings. However, they were only halfway through when a crowd began to gather outside the yard again. This time, they weren't noisy, but rather acting furtively, wanting to enter but not daring to.
Su Shi didn't want to pay any attention to them. The group of people wandered outside the yard for half an hour and didn't leave. Finally, Ye Nuan opened the door and asked, "Is there something wrong?"
Sun Erniu, who was at the front, hesitated and said awkwardly: "Ye, Goddess Ye, we have killed cattle and sheep to entertain you, please come..." A pair of eyes looked at her expectantly. If she refused, these people would probably not be able to sleep well at night.
But she didn't want to go.
"Don't bother with that. I don't take this morning's incident to heart. Just keep doing what you did before."
However, everyone was still waiting outside the yard, as if they would not leave unless she went. Ye Nuan had no choice but to go anyway.
The banquet was held in an open space not far from the ancient well. The villagers were enthusiastic, slaughtering pigs and sheep, washing vegetables and steaming rice. It was even more lively than the New Year's Eve, which showed how much they valued Ye Nuan. Everyone greeted her warmly along the way.
"Hello, Goddess."
Ye Nuan said it several times but they still called her that. Finally, she gave up and let them call her whatever they wanted.
Ye Xiaohu had never seen a pig being slaughtered before, so he went over to watch out of curiosity. The villagers were particularly enthusiastic when they saw him, and jokingly asked, "Xiaohu, would you like to try some of the pig-killing dishes? They're so delicious!"
"What is a pig-killing dish?"
The villagers enthusiastically introduced: "It's a stew made from freshly slaughtered pigs. It has pork bones, head meat, shredded pork, pork belly, blood sausage, sauerkraut, and everything in between. It's fresh and fragrant, and I guarantee you'll love it."
Ye Xiaohu drooled and nodded repeatedly: "Yes, I want to eat, I want to eat!"
In the cleanest part of the open space stood a large table, laden with fruits and snacks. Sun Erniu led her there, even wiping the stool at the top, and said, "Goddess, these are offerings from every household. Please don't despise them."
Dahuang Village was already poor, and they were willing to give her these things. They were really treating her like a deity! This meal would consume the villagers' savings for a long time. She suddenly felt a little embarrassed. Looking at the villagers busy cooking, she said, "Do you need help?"
The loud voice nearby quickly said, "No need, there's no need for the goddess to do anything, just sit there."
Ye Nuan felt a little uneasy. Her previous act was just to deter those with bad intentions. She wanted to run her farm properly, not to take advantage of her status. Su sat beside her, patted her hand, and whispered, "They must be asking something of you, besides apologizing. Just sit still."
Need help from her?
Village Chief Jin arrived with his family. He sat alone, smoking a pipe. Jin Qiu, Jin Bao, and Tao Shi all gathered around Ye Nuan. Jin Bao looked her up and down and asked anxiously, "I heard the scar on your face is gone. Can you show it to me?"
This person is really obsessed with her face.
Tao slapped him on the forehead and said angrily, "You are so rude! I am a goddess now. Can you just look at me casually?"
She licked her face and came over and asked, "Goddess Ye, can you give me a recipe for whitening my skin? Look at my face." Although her face was not very dark, it was still very yellow.
Many women looked over here, listening intently to hear the secret recipe.
The goddess would not be able to convince everyone if she did nothing, so Ye Nuan said, "I will make some skin care water after I grow roses. You can go to Yunjian Farm to exchange it then." She only needs to use rose petals to extract the dew and then add a drop of spiritual spring water to disperse it. The skin care effect will definitely be better than the rouge and powder bought from the Creation Pavilion.
This can also be considered a livelihood.
Everyone's eyes lit up, and they gathered around to ask, "When will it be ready? How do we change it? Does Goddess Ye also need this to heal her face?"
The fanaticism in these people's eyes made Ye Nuan sigh: It turns out that women in every era have no resistance to skin care products.
The busy man saw that his wives had all run away and shouted at the top of his voice: "Don't cook anymore, do you want to starve Goddess Ye to death?"
Everyone dispersed again, but their attention was still focused on Ye Nuan.
Ye Nuan chuckled: "About the 20th."
Mrs. Tao felt a little uncomfortable and muttered, "Can't the goddess make roses bloom instantly? Can't it be done in a shorter time?" She was eager to get the magical skin care water tomorrow.
Jin Qiu pulled her mother away and said loudly, "Mom, how can Sister An Nuan use her divine power for such a thing? She wants to benefit the wasteland. It's already a blessing that she can make skin care water for you."
Tao was unhappy: "How can we make skin care water and not benefit the wasteland? If we women are happy, the men will be happy, and the children at home will be happy too."
Her mother has so many twisted ideas!
After Tao was removed, Ye Nuan finally had some peace and quiet. Then her mother looked at her with burning eyes and asked, "Um, what skin care lotion is really that good?"
Ye Nuan: “.”
