Even on their deathbeds, they couldn't understand why such a frail woman possessed such immense strength, why her blows hurt so much, and why she wouldn't die.
Why is that?
Damn it, what are you doing pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger!
Unfortunately, they can only take these with them to the King of Hell, who might then tell them something.
"Grandma Wu, I can do it myself, don't trouble yourself!" Nian Wanzhou took the bedding from the old woman and spread it on the old wooden bed herself.
The elderly Granny Wu looked at her with a hint of heartache and sighed, "You child, you've become so thin. I don't know what hardships you've endured. It really breaks my heart to see you like this. I don't like lecturing, but I also don't like seeing young people in trouble."
"Child, you can take things in stride. You can't stay in one place forever; you always have to look forward."
Nian Wanzhou smiled faintly; she had been traveling for more than three months and no one had ever spoken to her like that before.
In fact, she ate a lot; a whole cow would be considered a small meal for her. For a cultivator, it's really not enough to satisfy her appetite to this extent.
Only she would eat so recklessly.
The reason I can't gain weight is because I have something on my mind that prevents me from gaining weight.
“Grandma Wu, you’re right, you have to look forward to everything. But I’m reluctant to move forward now. I made some promises to others, but they’ve passed away, so I can only keep my promises.”
On New Year's Eve, Zhou laid out the bedding and helped Granny Wu go out to bask in the sun.
Grandma Wu felt even more pity for the little girl who kept her promise. She was about the same age as her own daughter, but she had to leave her hometown, became extremely thin, and wander around.
Grandma Wu sighed and said to her, "Young girl, I admire your strength and character. But God is so unfair, taking away your loved ones so early and leaving you to wander alone."
Nian Wanzhou smiled and shook her head: "Actually, it's alright. Fate is what it is and can't be changed, but traveling can temper my character."
"There's a saying that goes, 'What doesn't kill me makes me stronger.'" As she said this, she slowly looked up at the sky, her words carrying a deeper meaning.
Grandma Wu was impressed by these words and burst out laughing.
She agreed with this statement, and then shared her own experiences:
Grandma Wu was an orphan who was adopted by the village at a young age and grew up eating food from many families. Later, she married a farmer in the village.
The family depended on each other for survival.
Later, the village suffered a drought, resulting in countless deaths and injuries overnight. It took several years for the land to recover to its current state.
Even in such cold weather, the young men in the village have to go out hunting, chopping wood, and working, while the young women also have to work in the fields, and the older children are no exception.
Only elderly people like Granny Wu stay at home to take care of young children and livestock, and guard their homes.
The local people are honest and simple, and there are no petty thieves. They occasionally help friends from other places or passing by, and in return, they earn some money.
Nian Wanzhou liked this kind of simplicity, so she chose to stay in this small village to spend the cold winter.
We also played in the snow in the village.
Before long, the sky changed abruptly, and scattered snowflakes drifted down from the sky, hitting people and feeling icy cold.
Nian Wanzhou quickly helped Granny Wu into the house.
"Oh dear, it's snowing so soon! I have to go call my wife and daughter back. You wait at home." Old Mrs. Wu was getting on in years and only then realized what she needed to do.
Nian Wanzhou hurriedly stopped her: "I'll go, Granny Wu, just tell me the location."
Grandma Wu was nearly scared to death: "Oh dear, you skinny girl are not as strong as this old woman. I'll go. You should rest and not run around. Your body can't withstand this cold."
But Nian Wanzhou insisted on going, and she picked up a large vat and performed a one-handed lifting demonstration.
"Look at me, I don't look weak at all. You took me in, so it's only right that I do something for you. Don't worry." I can still be energetic for decades to come.
Nian Wanzhou didn't say what came next, so as not to frighten the old man.
But this frightened Granny Wu quite a bit. In the end, she couldn't resist her insistence and could only tell her the location: it was just one kilometer to the right of the road she came from.
As for why it didn't mention east, west, south, and north...
Because Nian Wanzhou kept saying she couldn't understand it and couldn't tell which way was which, this was the only way she could say it.
Upon receiving the exact location, Nian Wanzhou immediately set off. She arrived in less than a quarter of an hour, covering a distance of one mile. Sure enough, there were two farm women busy in the field.
Nian Wanzhou stepped forward and called out, "Sisters, I am someone taken in by Granny Wu. It's snowing, and Granny Wu asked me to come and call you home."
His voice was full of energy.
The two peasant women turned around and saw a little girl who looked like she could be blown away by the wind standing in front of the field, talking to them.
The older one quickly replied, "Hey, thank you for your trouble, girl. You should go back quickly, the snow is getting heavier and heavier, it won't be good for your health."
After saying that, he tried to lift a lot of heavy things to the ridge of the field, muttering that it snowed so early this year.
Nian Wanzhou went directly to the field to help her carry the heaviest item upstairs, and easily carried it away.
"Hey, little sister, you can't do that! Put it down quickly, or you'll hurt yourself." Liu hurriedly tried to stop her and snatch it away, but the thin girl picked it up and quickly went up to her.
His relaxed demeanor was as if he were picking up straw.
Wu Xiaomei, who came up behind carrying two children, was dumbfounded. Is this a woman? She's so strong!
"Hercules, Hercules!" the child shouted excitedly.
When Nian Wanzhou turned back to offer to help carry something, Liu quickly declined, saying, "It's alright, it's alright, thank you for your trouble. I can handle these myself."
Nian Wanzhou smiled somewhat embarrassedly and reached out to brush the snowflakes off her head.
On the way back, Nian Wanzhou helped some people carry heavy things and also lifted up an oxcart that had overturned by the roadside. The cart and the ox were both heavy, but she just picked them up and put them by the roadside.
The villagers said: "This person is actually quite nice."
When it was almost dark, she went up the mountain to find the men who hadn't returned home and brought them back.
Seeing no prey, they even summoned several wild animals to hunt and bring back.
The village men exclaimed, "Is she a goddess? Even wild beasts are being treated docilely as her prey, and she's sharing some with us? This is unacceptable!!!"
Finally, at the foot of the mountain, a group of people, looking completely bewildered, took the man and their prey home.
Grandma Wu finally waited at home for her eldest son and Nian Wanzhou to return. She was terrified: "You little rascal, you really scared me to death. You ran up the mountain with your little body."
Aside from expressing gratitude, all I did was tell her to stop working and just wait to eat.
Nian Wanzhou sat naturally in the courtyard, watching the snow with the two children, occasionally throwing small snowballs at each other.
