Chapter 264 Human Basin

Xingxing was young and couldn't hear clearly. She only heard Ruan's excited shouting "Ya Ya".

But Ya Meir was still lying on Ruan's shoulder and did not wake up.

Xing Xing was worried and whispered to Grandma Da Xi: "Grandma Da Xi, why hasn't Ya Ya woken up yet even though her mother called her like that? Is Ya Ya sick?"

Da Xi Si Po curled her lips and said, "You little man, your ears are not as good as an old woman like me. That woman was calling Yaya, not Yaya... However, it was so loud, and the child on her shoulder was not awake yet. It's really not right."

Xingxing was a little worried and took a few steps forward.

Da Xi Si Po and Huai Ge'er had no choice but to move forward a few steps, find a hidden place, and continue observing.

The door of the shabby house creaked open, and a pale, extremely thin girl appeared. As soon as she called out "Mom", Ruan immediately urged her distressedly: "Yaya, you are not feeling well. Don't stand here for long. Go back and lie down."

As soon as the girl responded obediently, she started coughing violently. Ruan became anxious and hurriedly carried the girl into the house.

The door was closed. Xingxing was a little anxious and wanted to know what happened to Yamei.

Huai Ge'er observed the hut carefully.

This hut is obviously where hunters occasionally stay when they come to the mountains to hunt. It is not very big, and the windows are built a little higher to prevent wild animals.

Huai Ge'er found a more suitable place, picked up Xingxing, and walked there quietly.

The windows were obviously newly covered, so I couldn't see what was going on inside, but I could hear what was happening inside.

Anyone approaching the window could feel a slight warmth, which showed that there was a charcoal fire burning in the house.

Da Xi Si Po curled her lips and slowly followed over.

Xingxing was so anxious that she almost stuck her little ears to the window.

Another violent coughing sound came from the room.

Ruan patted the girl's back gently, and after a while, the girl finally recovered.

"Come, Yaya, drink some hot water." Ruan lowered her voice and slowed down, as if she was afraid that she would scare the girl.

Xingxing was a little dazed while eavesdropping.

That’s how she treated Yaya before…

The girl named Yaya said in a hoarse voice after coughing: "Mom, how long do I have to wait?"

Ruan's voice was still so gentle, but in the gentleness there was a bit of inexplicable weirdness: "My dearest, today is the day, you don't have to wait any longer - after today, you don't have to worry about illness anymore, you will have a healthier body..."

The girl named Yaya was obviously very happy: "Really? I've been waiting for a long time..."

But before she could finish her words, she started coughing violently again.

Ruan coaxed softly again.

Xing Xing and Huai Ge'er were both stunned by what they heard, but Da Xi Si Po could sense that something was amiss.

She frowned and listened attentively, wanting to hear more evidence.

"...We are going to the altar in the mountains soon. Can you hold on?" Ruan asked worriedly.

The girl named Yaya laughed hoarsely: "Mom, after Dad passed away, grandpa and grandma first kicked you out of the house. They wanted to sell me to someone as a child bride, but when they saw that I was seriously ill, they kicked me out again. You brought me to live in this mountain hut and brought me food every day... I can stand it, so who can't stand it?"

Ruan's voice was a little choked up: "Damn Yaya, I'm sorry for putting you through this..."

Xingxing didn’t understand what the two people were talking about. She was just a little anxious. Why wasn’t Yaya moving yet? Was she really sick?

There was a rustling sound in the room. Ruan was holding the unconscious Ya Mei'er in her arms with a bundle tied around her arm.

The girl named Yaya was wearing a war cape, her face was pale, and her steps were unsteady. Ruan Shiteng stretched out a hand to support her, and the mother and daughter walked slowly forward together.

Xingxing was a little anxious, and Huai Ge'er patted her on the back gently, signaling her to not be anxious.

This time, even Da Xi Si Po became curious about what the mother and daughter were going to do without Xing Xing saying anything.

She now has a bad guess anyway.

I hope it's not true.

Huai'er held Xingxing in his arms and was led by Daxi Sipo along another more secluded path. He followed the mother and daughter not too far away and went deep into the mountains.

The mother and daughter arrived at a cave entrance covered by vines. The girl named Yaya leaned against the side, breathing slightly. Ruan put Yamei, who was still in a coma, aside, pulled away the dead vines covering the cave entrance, and cleared a path.

Ruan Shifu picked up Yamei'er again, freed one hand to hold Yaya, and went into the cave.

Huai'er, holding Xingxing, and Da Xi Si Po followed Ruan and the others into the cave.

After walking dozens of steps in the cave, I found myself in a rather wide space.

Ruan took out a tinder from her arms, took out a few pieces of charcoal from her bag, found some kindling nearby, and started a fire.

Yaya's pale face was illuminated by the firelight, and finally took on a little color.

Ruan put the still unconscious Ya Mei'er on the ground aside and went to the other side to start clearing the weeds on the ground.

Huai Ge'er held Xing Xing in his arms and stood with Da Xi Si Po in the shadow of the long and narrow passage of the cave.

Da Xi Si Po frowned as she watched, and saw that the ground cleaned by Ruan was gradually showing some traces, and those traces clearly had some patterns.

I guess this is what Ruan was talking about: the "altar".

Daxisipo's brows furrowed even deeper.

Ruan's behavior was already a bit strange, and with the word "altar", it seemed a little strange...

Ruan cleaned for a long time before she finally found a pattern about ten feet square on the ground. She looked at it with joy, clasped her index fingers together, made a strange gesture, and prayed devoutly: "May the ancestors bless us, this altar can still be used."

The fire from the charcoal and dead branches and vines was burning brightly. Xingxing, who was in the shadows, could clearly see the strange smile on Ruan's face.

Little Xingxing shuddered with fear and buried her head in Huaige'er's neck.

Huai Ge'er patted Xing Xing gently, signaling her not to be afraid.

"Mom, is it really possible?" Yaya suddenly coughed.

Ruan said gently, "My beloved, of course it can be done... You don't know how much effort I have put into finding a healthy person for you. If it doesn't work, wouldn't all my hard work be in vain?"

Ruan looked at the unconscious Yameier on the ground with a gentle yet passionate expression, "Fortunately, God will not let down those who work hard. I finally found this human basin for you."

Xingxing's eyes suddenly widened when she heard this.

Human basin, what is a human basin?

Why did Ya Mei'er's mother look at Ya Mei'er and say "human basin" again? !

Could it be that this human basin refers to...
