God's Gift

Yu Youyou ate several steamed buns in one breath, looked at the last steamed bun left in her pocket, and swallowed.

She carefully put the steamed bun into her bag, touched the bag with her hand, and climbed up the stairs with her belly supported.

-

On the second day, Shen Minghua and Ye Li were waiting in the living room early.

Yu Youyou fell down the stairs again at the same time and in the same way.

Shen Minghua felt pain when he heard the clanging sounds, but Yu Youyou, who fell down, seemed like nothing happened. She patted her clothes, touched her head, and stood up.

"Children are tough." Shen Minghua sighed.

"She is already eighteen years old this year." Ye Li sat at the table and took a sip of water.

Shen Minghua paused and helped his forehead, "That's right."

It’s just that Yu Youyou’s daily behavior is so childish that he always forgets that she is an adult.

"How could such a person come from District E?" Ye Li shook his head. He really couldn't understand it. They all came from District E, but Yu Youyou was completely different from her.

How could such a harsh living environment produce such an ignorant girl?

"Ali, what are you talking about?" Yu Youyou staggered to the table, holding her shoes.

"I was talking about going to ask about the Hellfire today." Ye Li lied with a calm expression.

Yu Youyou nodded, "Oh."

"A lot of old people in the village have died in the past few years, and now there are still five old people alive. Early this morning, Baige's team members went to the other four houses to ask questions, but the door of the village head's house was closed, and our members jumped at him. null."

Shen Minghua told Bai Ge what he had investigated.

"The other four families only said that a monster suddenly appeared in the village one day, and they kept silent about the Pope's words that it was all their own fault."

"As for the village chief... the villagers said he hasn't left his house in many years."

Shen Minghua had a solemn expression. He couldn't understand why the village chief had stayed indoors for so many years in order to find food for the village.

"Let's go to the village chief's house now." Ye Li stood up and walked out decisively.

Shen Minghua and Yu Youyou followed behind.

As soon as they reached the door, Fang Ziang ran down from upstairs.

"Wait for me."

Shen Minghua and Ye Li looked at each other and sighed helplessly.

Fang Ziang casually smoothed his hair and followed Yu Youyou. He saw Yu Youyou taking out a steamed bun from her bag.

"Do you want to eat?" Yu Youyou asked Fang Ziang politely.

Fang Ziang shook his head in disdain. Who would eat this thing? His storage space was full of food, so he naturally wasn't interested in Youyou's steamed buns.

Yu Youyou happily took back the steamed bun and took a big bite.

When they reached a fork in the road, they happened to meet Lu Keming walking towards them from the other side.

Yu Youyou's attention shifted away from the steamed buns. When she saw Lu Keming, her eyes lit up. She waved at him and ran over happily.

"Lu Keming, why are you here?"

Lu Keming glanced at Yu Youyou who was leaning beside him, and moved a few steps away calmly.

"I said I would go check it out with you guys."

Ye Li and the other two stood there, looking at Lu Keming in silence.

Lu Keming raised his chin and looked at the expressions of Shen Minghua and Ye Li, "Why, you don't look too happy."

"What are you doing here?" Shen Minghua said in a cold voice.

"Of course I am also concerned about the source of the hellfire." Lu Keming snorted and raised his hand to casually fiddle with the dragon ring on his index finger.

"Since this is a collaboration, you shouldn't be too fussy about it."

"I will..." Fang Ziang started to get scared when he saw Lu Keming, hiding behind him and muttering to himself.

Lu Keming's gaze shifted to Fang Ziang, and the corners of his mouth curled up in a sinister and weird arc.

The smile was so weird that Fang Ziang trembled in fear.

"Okay, let's go together." Ye Li looked at Lu Keming deeply, unable to find a reason to refuse, he could only compromise.

Lu Keming's smile became much kinder and he nodded to Ye Li.

Yu Youyou tilted her head and stared at Lu Keming.

Lu Keming glanced at Yu Youyou, then followed Ye Li and Shen Minghua.

Yu Youyou also followed Lu Keming closely, looking at him curiously with her head tilted as she walked.

After walking a few steps, Yu Youyou suddenly lowered her voice and asked Ke Ming quietly for directions.

"Lu Keming, do you like Ye Li?"

Lu Keming paused, his black boots stopped on the stone road, and turned his head to look at Yu Youyou.

The air became quiet.

"Nothing to do with you."

"okay."

Yu Youyou pursed her lips and stopped talking.

"Youyou, come to the front." Shen Minghua was walking in front and saw Yu Youyou who had been walking beside Lu Keming. He suddenly asked Yu Youyou to come forward.

"Okay." Yu Youyou lifted her skirt and trotted to Shen Minghua.

Shen Minghua's eyes met Lu Keming in the air, and Lu Keming raised his eyebrows contemptuously.

Shen Minghua calmly withdrew his gaze and continued walking forward.

Lu Keming looked at Yu Youyou who walked to the front row and sneered.

Shen Minghua is really on guard against a person without psychic power. He is just making a fuss out of nothing as usual.

On the way to the village chief's house, they passed by Emma's house, where she was feeding chickens.

"Yuyou." Emma greeted Yu Youyou and looked at the group of people, "Where are you going?"

"Go to the village chief's house." Yu Youyou leaned on the fence, her eyes shining like stars, and answered Emma with a smile.

"Are you going to ask about Hellfire?" Emma reacted quickly.

"Yeah." Yu Youyou nodded.

"Yu Youyou, let's go." Fang Ziang, who was standing aside, called out to Yu Youyou, reminding her to set off.

"Okay." Yu Youyou was about to turn around when Emma grabbed her hand.

"Why don't you guys not go?" Emma hesitated and tried to dissuade them in a gentle voice.

"What does Madam mean?" Shen Minghua looked at Emma's clothes and guessed that she should be married.

"The village chief won't come out. We can't see him when we visit him on weekdays." Emma looked gloomy, no longer as gentle as usual.

"Then ma'am, do you know why the village chief stays indoors?" Emma's previous words were things they already knew. Shen Minghua thought Emma should know more, so he continued to ask.

"I'm not sure... maybe it's because of his family." Emma spoke slowly, with some uncertainty in her voice.

"What happened to his family?" Ye Li stared at Emma.

Emma glanced at Ye Li and sighed, "Heroes protect the world, but it is always difficult to achieve perfection."

"The village chief spent half his life looking for fertile soil and water for the villagers, but he could not protect his own family. His daughter died the same year he found fertile soil. She was less than five years old when she died."

Emma became melancholy at the mention of these things.

"His wife also died at the hands of the monster more than ten years later. He had a surviving son..."

"Who knew that the son was also frightened by the monster and went crazy. He wandered around the village all day long. Faced with the situation of his family being torn apart, the village chief's hair turned white overnight. From then on, he stayed indoors and refused to let anyone in."
