"I understand now. It means that relatives can't get married! If my cousin and I get married, our children will probably have problems. Is that what you mean?"

"Yes, that's what I mean."

Chu Weiyue's tone even had a hint of certainty.

Since everyone else in Xiaomei's family has symptoms, the child she and her cousin have will not be able to escape the curse.

Xiaomei's parents also have a very close relationship.

When such terrible genes are combined together, there is no telling what kind of explosion will occur!

"What should I do? I told my parents, but they wouldn't listen to me."

At the same time, Xiaomei was in a dilemma again and was so sad that she was about to cry.

In this day and age, they cannot freely choose who to marry, and even having children is not up to them.

But in the end, she is the one who has to bear the consequences. The more Xiaomei thought about it, the more painful it became.

Chu Weiyue held her hand and patted her shoulder.

“Don’t be sad, how about I go talk to the village chief? This kind of thing requires the village chief to step in. Only when he realizes the seriousness of the situation can he truly change the customs of your village.

It is not a good idea to keep yourself away from the outside world. This will not be good for your reproduction and may even lead to your extinction one day."

Chu Weiyue frowned and let out a long sigh.

Because she lived here, she took a rough look and found that the more children they had, the more they regressed.

There are many tall people in the outside world, but the villagers here are getting shorter and shorter.

Few people here can read, and there are no more than three people in the whole village.

There are more than 200 people here, which means that almost everyone in the village is illiterate.

The most terrifying thing is that their doctors are still using the oldest methods, medical techniques from hundreds of years ago, to treat patients.

If a more serious disease appears here one day, they will not be able to survive.

It would be good to live in seclusion here, but times have changed and people cannot remain complacent.

Chu Weiyue understood these principles, and maybe she could explain them to Xiaomei, but she didn't know if the village chief would understand...

Although she was not sure, she decided to give it a try.

Arriving at the village chief's house and giving him earnest advice, the village chief just glared at Chu Weiyue coldly.

"Girl, I thought you knew the importance of the matter, but I didn't expect you to be so confused about the facts. This village is our village and has nothing to do with outsiders like you. Get well and leave quickly. As for how we reproduce, don't worry about it."

Chu Weiyue was so angry at him that she felt dizzy.

"Village chief, you can't say that. I'm doing this for your own good. Look at the people in the village! You often go out to purchase goods, and you can clearly see the gap between you and the outsiders.

I have rarely seen such short people like those in your village. The more you give birth, the worse your health will be. Your medical skills are no longer used outside, but your doctors are still using folk remedies!"

"As the head of a village, do you really think this is a good thing? Simply isolating yourself in a paradise is not enjoyment, but poisoning everyone..."

"That's enough, are you done?"

Without giving Chu Weiyue a chance to continue, the village chief angrily slammed the table.

"I warn you, this is our village's business, and you, an outsider, should not meddle in other people's business. As for what our descendants will become, that is up to God. You don't have the final say, and neither do I. Do you understand?"

Chu Weiyue was so angry that she rolled her eyes and felt a tightness in her chest.

I never thought that someone could be so ignorant, and he’s the village chief!

Chu Weiyue knew very well that good words could not persuade a damned ghost, and some things could not be changed by just a few words.

This is a problem of thinking, just like some people believe that there are monsters and demons in this world.

Simple words from outsiders cannot change their thinking.

"Alright, don't say anything. The fate of our village is up to fate. I'm very grateful that you told me this. Your injuries are almost healed. Please set a time to leave as soon as possible so that I can send you out. Don't come back again."

In the past, the village chief had been quite polite to Chu Weiyue, but now he was not gentle at all.

Chu Weiyue was also completely enraged by him. "Village Chief, I am telling the truth. Almost all the families in your village marry close relatives. Don't you really know the consequences? Why aren't people outside cursed, but you are cursed here..."

No matter what Chu Weiyue said, the village chief didn't want to listen. Instead, he grabbed her arm and pushed her out of the door.

Wen Jingchi was waiting here and happened to hold Chu Weiyue, so he didn't fall.

The village chief glared at the two angrily, "You two, get out of here. I don't want to see you. If you dare to say these words again, I will not be polite to you."

He cursed harshly a few times and slammed the door shut.

Chu Weiyue was so angry that she had no place to vent it, so she could only kick the door.

Wen Jingchi held her in his arms and patted her shoulder gently.

"Don't be angry. It's hard to change their minds."

"You're right. There's no point in wasting your temper with them. Let's go and get out of this damn place as soon as possible."

Chu Weiyue and Wen Jingchi went back while complaining.

After they left, the village chief opened the door and revealed half of his head.

He touched his chest and then let out a long breath.

He is not an uneducated person. Because he often goes out for shopping, he often goes out for a walk.

In fact, he knew very well what the people outside were like.

What Chu Weiyue said was also what the previous village chief had said to him.

He didn't understand it in the past, but now he finally understands what it means.

What would the villagers think if this were to be made known to others?

If no one reproduces, how can he continue to be the village chief? How can he be worthy of his ancestors!

The village chief's wife also heard these words and sat next to the village chief to discuss the matter with him.

"What are you going to do?" asked the village chief's wife worriedly.

"What else can we do? Of course we should drive them away without telling anyone. Once they are gone, the matter will be over. As for us, how we reproduce will be based on the rules of our ancestors.

Even if the rules need to be changed, they cannot be changed in my place, otherwise I would be letting down my ancestors, and how would I have the face to see them a hundred years later!"

The village chief sighed deeply and drank the wine beside him.

At this moment, there was a noise outside the door, and it was a bald man.

He had no hair on his body since he was born and looked very strange.

Seeing him come in, the village chief was a little puzzled.

"Did you hear everything we said just now?"

The bald man chuckled a few times and said, "Village Chief, of course I heard it, but don't worry, I won't tell anyone."
