Chapter 1029 The Demon Seed is Natural (63)
Having said this, Xiao Tao lowered her eyes, raised her hand and gently covered her heart.
After a long silence.
The young man stopped talking.
When the couple saw this, they just looked at each other and ran out in the dark.
Everything happened suddenly and ended without any beginning or end.
The story of that year was obviously not finished yet, so the young man just let him go.
After seeing Xiao Tao return to the house, those people at the courtyard door turned around and went home full of doubts.
In the small house, Zhou Ye lay down on the bed and prepared to go to sleep. There was a knock on the door, followed closely by Xiao Tao's low and moist voice.
"Xiaoye, are you asleep?"
"Nothing."
"Then can I talk to you?"
"The door is unlocked."
Xiao Tao pushed the door open and went in. A candle was lit in the small room, and a dim halo of light danced on the wall.
The two of them sat beside the bed, and it was Zhou Ye who spoke first.
"Is what you just said outside true?"
"Yeah."
"Then how do you know this?"
Xiao Tao was silent, as if she didn't want to talk too much.
Zhou Ye didn't ask any more questions. She just knew some things in her heart and didn't need to ask too many questions.
"Then you can live with us from now on."
"How to live?"
The young man raised his eyes and looked into Zhou Ye's eyes. There was tranquility in them, but there was too much depth that he couldn't understand.
"Xiaoye, leave here as soon as possible and take grandpa with you."
"They came back after all the trouble, and they don't plan to leave even after the village has become like this. I don't want to take my grandfather to live in a place like that."
"There is no food or drink here. No one can survive here. There is hope for going out."
Zhou Ye remained silent. If she was alone, it wouldn't matter where she went.
But now she still has a grandfather by her side.
The old man's health is getting worse and worse. His backache is severe even after walking around the village, let alone leaving the mountains like a natural moat.
Zhou Ye knew clearly.
If she leaves, she will be the only one who can get out in the end.
Grandpa once told her that this mountain would be his tomb in the future, and he would never be able to leave here in his life.
If you leave, you will die, if you don't leave, you will die.
If you have to make a choice
Zhou Ye refused to choose.
She doesn't want to think about things she doesn't want to face.
Looking at Xiao Tao again, he lowered his eyes and thought about something.
"Ono, everything is going to happen. Many things will not be as you think. You can choose now, but you may not have any choice in the future."
This sentence is mixed with inexplicable helplessness.
Zhou Ye looked at him.
The young girl couldn't read the complicated emotions in his eyes at all.
The conversation was fruitless.
The days went on like this day by day.
There is indeed nothing left in the village. The place where the crops were originally planted has long been dry and cracked, and the mountains where the trees were originally dense are now covered with dead leaves, and there is no sign of life.
The hair-thin water source in Beishan is now completely insufficient.
There are nearly a hundred people in the village, all relying on this small water source. Long queues line up day and night at the foot of the North Mountain, but the water flowing down the mountain is simply not enough for so many people to drink.
Obviously, returning home is also a dead end.
Hunger can destroy a person's will and expose all his inner thoughts.
They came back, thinking that what awaited them was a peaceful and beautiful life in their hometown.
But what is the difference between all this now and the world of gods?
Even more desperate than outside.
