Chapter 137 Everyone Goes Up the Mountain to Eat Grass
The blind grandmother took out the green grass. This scene stunned Xu Yi. She took a few deep breaths, suppressed her excitement, and asked, "Grandma! Where did this come from?"
Tears glistened in the blind mother-in-law's eyes.
"Xiao Shi and I went up the mountain to look for food and almost couldn't come back. I was groggy when I saw green trees on the slope ahead and fresh grass growing under the trees. It wasn't covered by the snow. I thought it was a dying hallucination. I don't know where I got the strength to run forward with Xiao Shi in my arms. Finally, we left the snow and found ourselves on a meadow."
"I woke up immediately and quickly filled my stomach with tender grass with Xiaoshi. It wasn't cold there at all and we slept well that night. We hurried down the mountain early this morning and planned to tell the people in our village the good news."
The blind grandmother said anxiously: "Xu Yi girl, you quickly gather the people in the village, let's go to Sifang Mountain, there are green grass and green trees there, everyone doesn't have to worry about starving to death anymore."
"I'll go right away."
Xu Yi picked up the gong and drumstick from his home, stood at the entrance of the village, and struck the gong hard, making sure that everyone in the village could hear it.
Sure enough, after waiting for a while, the villagers came to the village entrance with lifeless steps. Looking at the skinny villagers who looked like ghosts, Xu Yi wanted to take them to Sifang Mountain immediately to eat grass and drink clean water.
"Xu Yi girl, what's the matter today?" asked an aunt who was shivering with cold. Her eye sockets were sunken, she was skin and bones from hunger, and her face was pale and dry.
To be precise, many people in the village are like this.
Hunger and cold tormented them.
People have lost hope of survival. The only reason they are still alive is that they dare not end their lives and are waiting for God's arrangement.
Xu Yi was excited, but his expression became more and more stable: "Second Aunt, Aunt Zhang, Granny Li, I have something good to tell you!"
No one was interested after hearing this.
good thing?
What good thing can be more important than life?
They are now like the walking dead, with no food or water, and people are dying in the village every day.
The mountain is blocked by heavy snow, and the snowy road is difficult!
They were all a group of women who had not left the village. They lost their way once they left the village. At first, they struggled to find a way to survive outside, but unfortunately they lost their way halfway. Even Xu Yi, the daughter of a hunter who grew up in the mountains, could get lost, so others had no ability to get out.
Under such circumstances, they all became numb and dull, just waiting for the day when the Ox-Head and Horse-Face Demons sent by the King of Hell would take away their souls.
This way they are freed.
How good can the good thing Xu Yi said be? Can it allow all the villagers to survive?
Not much hope!
Everyone shook their heads, and someone sighed and said, "Xu Yi girl, if it's nothing important, I'll go back first. I clearly feel that my time is coming to an end this time, and I'm afraid I'll die on the way home. I just want to die at home."
"I'm leaving too. The snow is getting heavier. It used to snow for a few days and then stop for a few days. Now that half of the month has passed, there is no sign of the snow stopping. I'm afraid a bigger disaster is waiting for us."
"Let's go, let's go!"
The villagers were not very interested in the good things Xu Yi said. The weather was getting colder and colder, and they just wanted to lie at home and wait to die. They didn't know when they would die. In short, under such a disaster, their remaining days would not be long.
I'd rather die at home!
"boom!"
Xu Yi quickly struck the gong and shouted loudly: "The blind old woman has found food. After she went up the mountain, she saw an oasis full of big trees and flowers. There is also clean spring water for us to drink. We don't have to starve to death. We will go up the mountain later!"
"Yes, everyone! I, the blind old lady, am not lying to you. I really found an oasis in the snow. It is like a fairyland. I see there are big fish in the river there. We won't have to worry about food and drink when we get there!"
Not many people believe in her.
It’s not that the blind mother-in-law is just a bad person.
But what she said was so incredible, even a little ridiculous.
"Blind grandma, are you hallucinating? In this disaster year with heavy snow, how can there be big trees and flowers alive? How can there be clean water sources and fish in the water? You really dare to imagine."
Some people lamented: "We are being punished by God. He sent us endless snowfalls just to freeze and trap us to death. How could there be any grass or trees for us to eat?"
"Blind grandma, you must be old and your eyesight is blurry."
"That's right. The surrounding mountains are all covered with snow. How could there be a place full of plants? You must have been frozen silly."
Someone waved his hand and said, "Everyone, go away, go away."
Everyone prepared to go home.
In desperation, the blind mother-in-law directly used her ultimate move.
In the vast white sky and earth, there was a touch of green that almost blinded people. The villagers were more shocked to see food and water than gold, and everyone was amazed.
“It’s green grass!”
"Green grass! Am I seeing right? It's really green grass!"
When everyone saw the green grass, they rushed to grab it and some even shed tears.
"That's great, we don't have to starve to death."
Everyone sighed and asked questions at once, their eyes lit up with passion, and they all cried out.
Someone cried out in surprise, "The blind old lady didn't lie? She really didn't lie, this is really green grass!"
"It's been too long. I haven't seen such green grass for a long time."
"What the blind old lady said is true!"
The originally lifeless crowd suddenly became agitated, with discussions rising one after another. Their ecstasy, excitement, and desire for survival made them choose to believe the blind old woman.
"I really didn't lie to you. I remember the route. Let's gather and go up the mountain. Let's fill our stomachs as soon as possible so that we won't starve to death." The blind old woman said earnestly.
"No need to starve to death!"
The villagers were in high spirits.
Xu Yi immediately said, "Be quiet, everyone. We have endured so many hard times. Nothing can stop us now. Since God has given us a place with lush green grass, he must not want us all to die. We should go into the mountains in an orderly manner. The grass and trees there will definitely be enough for us to survive for a long time."
Everyone calmed down. At this time, it is most taboo to be extremely happy or sad.
They brought containers, old pots and pans from their homes and followed the villagers up the mountain.
After walking for nearly half an hour, everyone still didn't see the magical place in the blind old woman's mouth, and they couldn't help feeling anxious and irritable.
"It's just ahead, let's speed up!"
The blind old woman led the villagers to walk on the snow. The vast white snow covered their shoulders and heads. There was no sign of any living creature in the cold air.
This is a place where life has disappeared.
Suddenly, at the edge of the white earth, a touch of green suddenly caught my eye.
It's a tree! It's grass!
"Look!"
“There really is such a magical place!”
Everyone was ecstatic and shouted excitedly.
