Chapter 1015 Demon Seed is Natural (49)
All the people in the village were gone, and the place that had been a bit lively now became a completely dead village.
The few remaining old people moved together and took care of each other's lives.
The land cannot continue to be abandoned like this. As long as the people left behind are alive, they need to eat.
The old man, who was a few thousand years younger than the village chief, took care of the land in front of the house and planted grain in it. There were still two cattle in the village, which eased a lot of work.
Zhou Ye still runs to the mountains every day, but he used to come home dirty, but now he comes back with something in his hand.
A deer or a basket of fruits, as long as they were edible, she would bring them to the village.
The yard in front of the house is much livelier. The old people gather together and play a game of chess after finishing their farm work. The leisure time is quiet.
Time flies.
On the occasion of their 2500th birthday, my grandfather gave his two children a bowl of noodles, each with an egg in the noodles.
There are only three chickens in the yard. Every now and then, he can pick up one, so grandpa will save it and give them extra meals every now and then.
This year has gone by so fast.
The peach grows very fast, like a crop that pulls out its seedlings in the field. Even if it eats only a meager diet every day, it can grow as fast as one day.
He can already help get to the ground.
Without the careful care of his parents, not only is the boy not as weak as before, but his two originally slender arms now have some strong flesh.
Grandpa always liked to pat his increasingly strong back.
"Good boy, he's almost grown up."
Xiao Tao smiled happier than before, and her porcelain-white skin became slightly darker due to the tan.
A few years later, the village remained the same as before.
This year is different than usual.
An old man in the village left.
After living for thirty-six thousand years, he died a long life without suffering much. He died peacefully in his dream. Several old friends worked hard to bury the old man at the foot of Qishan Mountain and set up a stone tablet prepared in advance. There was not much sadness or sorrow when bidding farewell, but more relief and helplessness.
This is how it is in this life.
The time has come to accept it.
Since the death of the old man, grandpa is still smiling every day and can still work in the fields. However, his originally stooped back is now more and more curved, and his face is almost touching the ground. The crutch in his hand is always attached to his body. Walking became more and more unsteady.
Even so, the old man is still full of energy.
He always said to Zhou Ye with a smile.
"Don't worry, grandpa will live long enough to marry you off."
It will take a long time to get married.
But Zhou Ye didn't doubt it at all.
Because grandpa never lied to her, before and now.
On the other side, the people who left the village were never heard from again.
Including Xiao Tao's parents, the couple who originally loved their son as much as his life, now there is no news at all.
Xiao Tao was not in a hurry, and her grandfather wouldn't ask any more questions.
As usual, the old people went to work in the fields. Zhou Ye and Xiao Tao were already considered strong and shouldered most of the farm work.
This morning, everyone got up early.
The frost is getting heavier, and everyone has to get the food from the fields back before the first autumn rain.
This year's harvest is good. Although there is only a small five acres of land, the harvested food is enough to feed everyone for a year.
Every harvest season, when you step into the withered village, it will show a bit of vitality.
