Chapter 56 (Fifty-six) Strange Phenomenon
"Yes. In fact, later on, the days when I and my mother depended on each other were still very happy." Yan Moying continued.
"I have never experienced what it is like to be with my parents. Sometimes I wonder how my parents are different from other people..." Yin Ruchen said.
"Oh...Actually...there is no difference. My parents and my master are all the same." Of course Yan Moying knew that his parents could not be replaced by anyone else, but he still had to say this because he didn't want to Yin Ruchen realized how beautiful the family love she had never experienced was, and he suddenly regretted it. He felt that he should not have said that happy memory about his parents in front of a person like Yin Ruchen who had never known who his parents were since he was a child. However, When he said it just now, he just said it on a whim, but he didn't think so much. The reason why he didn't want Yin Ruchen to understand the warmth of family affection was because he felt that if a person didn't know the beauty of something she had never encountered before, it would be nothing; if she did, it might become a misfortune.
【Chapter 21】
The next morning, they came out of the inn and continued on their way back.
When passing by a farmland, Yin Ruchen saw that the crops in the field were growing very well and thought that there should be a good harvest.
Unexpectedly, hail suddenly fell from the sky, causing some crops to stagger.
"Mo Ying, the sky was clearly clear just now, how could it suddenly start to rain with hail? This weather is so abnormal!" Yin Ruchen said in surprise.
"Why is there such a strange thing?" Yan Moying asked curiously.
After a while, the crop owners came out one after another. Seeing this situation, they were very heartbroken.
An old man knelt down in the hail and cried loudly, while others also had heart-wrenching expressions.
"Is this the beginning of the disaster?" the old man shouted.
"Is it true?!" the people around him said worriedly.
"What a disaster! How can we survive?!"
"We are all ordinary people living an honest life. What have we done wrong?" the crop owners asked worriedly.
Suddenly, a peasant woman fainted and fell to the ground. Yin Ruchen rescued her and took her home with Yan Moying.
Yin Ruchen and Yan Moying comforted the peasant woman and her family.
The farmer woman said: "What we are afraid of is not how many crops we will lose this time, but how long this disaster will last!"
"Catastrophe?"
"Yes! Not long ago, a prophet who was proficient in witchcraft said that there would be a disaster here. It started with a hailstorm. I don't know how long this disaster will last... The disaster here is just a corner of the catastrophe in Jingyin Country. There are other disasters elsewhere. I don’t know what it will be like!” said the peasant woman.
After Yin Ruchen and Yan Moying came out, they found that the hail had stopped falling. When they looked up, they saw a scorching sun in the sky!
Both of them were surprised.
After walking for a long time, they passed many places without seeing anything unusual. Until they passed a small town, they found that many people in the town were listless.
There were a few people queuing up at the door of the drug store, and those people didn't seem to be in good condition.
"What's wrong with the people in the town?" Yan Moying casually asked a middle-aged man in black robe who was waiting in line.
"I'm feeling unwell. I've been to many doctors but can't diagnose it. Some doctors themselves have suffered from this disease. We came here to get some medicine. We don't want to cure it. We just want to replenish our body and see if we can get a little better." Just to refresh myself..." the middle-aged man replied.
