Chapter 59 Storytelling
Qi Yuanchuan's book is a simplified animated book of "Journey to the West". I didn't expect that "Journey to the West", one of the four great classics, is still circulating in the end times.
She remembers that when she was little, she spent her childhood reading Journey to the West, and when she grew up, she would occasionally revisit the classic.
At night, except for the night watchman, everyone else had nothing to do. They had just finished dinner and couldn't go to bed so early. Seeing Ye Li holding a book and telling the children the stories in the book, they found it interesting and came over.
It is already difficult for people like them to survive in the end times. They can barely recognize a few words, let alone read a book independently.
Unexpectedly, everyone was fascinated by it after listening to it, and was immersed in the story of Tang Sanzang and his three disciples going to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures.
Ye Li read several stories in a row. Xiao Mu and Xi Xi were so tired that they nodded off and finally fell asleep leaning on Ye Li's knees.
Ye Li closed the book and was about to take the child to sleep, but when he saw so many people still listening, he opened the book again and continued from where he had just left off.
I finished reading a book very quickly.
Qi Yuanchuan's book is not the complete version, but only the first part.
"I've finished reading!" Ye Li closed the book.
Xiao Wu said with a lingering feeling: "But the story is not over yet."
"This book is incomplete. I wonder if your godfather still has the rest of the book?"
Everyone looked at Qi Yuanchuan.
Qi Yuanchuan sat in the corner. Seeing everyone looking at him, he said, "I got this book by chance. I only have this one copy. I haven't read the rest of the story."
Ye Li said, "What a pity! The rest of the story is even more exciting."
"Why? Have you read the rest of the story?"
Ye Li smiled awkwardly: "My mother told me this story when I was a child."
"Aunt Li Zi, why don't you tell us a story every night and finish this one?" Xiao Wu requested.
Ye Li looked at the earnestness in his eyes, smiled and agreed: "Okay, I will tell you stories every morning. Qi Yuanchuan, you can write, right? Then you can write this story down so that you can tell it to your children in the future."
Ye Li's words undoubtedly gave everyone hope.
Their own children? It turns out they can have their own children in the future! They are so busy every day that they never have time to think about these things.
"Okay, everyone go to bed first. Ajie, replace the people on duty and let them rest," Qi Yuanchuan ordered.
"Okay, I'll go right away," Ajie replied.
The rest of the people dispersed and went back to their rooms to sleep.
It was a resort-style apartment with plenty of room and beds, enough for them to get a good night's sleep.
Ye Li held the sleeping Xixi in his arms, and Wu Qiaoer helped hold Xiaomu, and they went back to their room to sleep together.
Wu Qiaoer said with a smile on her face, "I feel like life has become more and more interesting since you came."
"Is it that exaggerated?"
"I'm telling the truth, Li Zi. You know so much. Every time I see you, I always feel that you are different from us."
Ye Li put Xixi on the bed, and Wu Qiaoer then put Xiaomu on the bed as well.
"What's the difference?" Ye Li said with a smile, "They both have two eyes and one mouth."
"Look, you can not only cook, but you can also read and tell stories. It would be great if you could stay with us forever!" Wu Qiaoer said, and then confirmed again: "You won't leave, will you? You will stay with us forever, right?"
"Uh," Ye Li found that she had never thought about this question. She was just muddling through.
It is impossible for her, Xiaomu, and Xixi to live together as a group forever. It would be better for Xiaomu and Xixi to interact with more people. Besides, Xiaomu and Xixi still have a lot to learn, and Ye Li cannot teach them by herself.
However, the safety and abundant supplies of the safe house made Ye Li reluctant to leave. Her children needed a stable life.
Wu Qiaoer was obviously a little surprised by Ye Li's reaction.
