Chapter 461: 461



… three days later…

Chu Yunsheng was sitting on top of a pumpkin, quietly circulating the energy inside his body to quench his body .

From the early stage of Yuan Tian stage three to the middle stage of Yuan Tian stage three, the cultivation method was no longer a problem . All it left now was just the dull cultivation routine .

From last night, Chu Yunsheng started to think about how to return the life force back to the little girl while quenching his body .

With his current ability, the seventh nail could take someone's life force away, however, it could not transfer his life force to someone else . The monster seal talisman could transfer his life force, however, he couldn't seal that little girl . So he was in a dilemma .

At a place not far away from him, the village chief Gao was making pumpkin houses with a group of villagers . There weren't any complicated process when making a pumpkin house . All they did was to hollow out the dried pumpkin, and covered the hole on the wall of the pumpkin with a wooden plank, and used it as the door of the pumpkin house .

There were around two hundred people in the village . But only sixty pumpkin houses were needed . Since there were only sixty families . Looking at villagers walking in and out of the pumpkin houses, it was like a fairytale .

Chu Yunsheng also got one pumpkin house . It was the one he was currently sitting on . It took the oldest kid of elder Yu's family the entire evening to finally complete it .

That kid didn't like to talk . However, he was extremely hard-working . Apart from the time he spent on eating, he was working all day long, as if he had endless energy .

Maybe the discovery of the pumpkin field made him feel hopeful for the happy life in the future . Although Chu Yunsheng had never seen him smile before, he understood the emotions hidden in those eyes . Sometimes, he felt like they were lot like each other .

Suddenly, Chu Yunsheng heard some noises . As he opened his eyes, he saw a man who dressed in ragged clothing was heading towards a pumpkin house next to his with a girl that was around twelve years old . It seemed like they were visiting his neighbour - the elder Yu's family .

The little girl didn't seem to have much clothing to wear . Both of her little feet were red with cold . However, she still had to step on the freezing ground with her bare feet . Sometimes, she had to curl up her toes to withstood the freezing ground .

However, it was still very noticeable that the girl was clearly dressed up before she came here . At least, the top half of her body was covered with a piece of clothing that seemed to be made out of some dried rattans . In terms of the bottom half of her body, she was only wearing big ragged shorts . Perhaps, they didn't realize or maybe they just didn't care that much, with the big short, her scarily skinny legs were strikingly obvious .

Her chapped little face was also cleaned . Her mother even braided her withered yellow hair for the first time . It was dancing in the cold wind behind her head as the little girl walked towards the elder Yu's house .


The little girl seemed to be a little bit nervous . Perhaps she was shy, she always kept her head down while walking . However, her skinny hands were grasping her clothing tightly, revealing the complicated feelings in her mind .

“Is elder Yu home?” the old man asked using his hoarse voice as he arrived before the pumpkin house .

He was wearing an old and torn cap that had words “automobile repair” on it . There were only two of those caps in the village, the other one belonged to the village chief Gao .

According to the old man himself, the cap was made in the age of light, and it was the only thing that his father left to him . Although no one was able to recognize the words that were written on it nowadays, it was still something he could boast about .

There was no response from inside of the pumpkin house . However, the old man didn't seem to show any signs of being impatient . Instead, he was quietly waiting outside .



Inside the pumpkin house, the senile little girl nervously peeked outside through the gaps of the wooden door . Seeing the old man noticed her, she quickly ran inside and hid in the corner in panic .

The old man slightly frowned, it was almost unnoticeable .

Elder Yu had a serious injury when he was young . It took him to a long time, but he still barely recover himself . His wife was also suffering from a terrible health condition . Plus there was a senile little girl in the family . Although he had a son that was very hard-working, and that kid could feed everyone in the family, it was still the poorest family in the entire village .

If it was in the old days, there was no way that the old man would be interested in talking to elder Yu . However, since the strange old man came to the village, the living condition of elder Yu's family was improved dramatically . Nowadays, even the village chief Gao himself also came to visit elder Yu very often .


As one of the “rich families” in the village, the old man, who came to visit elder Yu didn't just depend on his “genius” son . Being able to perceive the potential of some families was the ability he also had .

Having gone through his own little secret plan in his mind one more time, the old man was happy that he was ahead of other villagers in the village . No long after he patiently waited outside the pumpkin house, he finally saw elder Yu carrying a bundle of dried rattans, walking towards the pumpkin house while coughing constantly .

Unable to bear seeing the eldest son working non-stop all day every day, elder Yu went out with his son earlier today . Seeing there was someone waiting at his door, he immediately put down the bundle of rattans and quickly walked towards them .

“Elder Yu, how is your recovery going?” the old man asked . He was very satisfied with elder Yu’s flattered expression when he saw him . It meant that the discussion, later on, would be very smooth .

However, whenever he saw the clothing and the shoes that elder Yu was wearing, a strong feeling of envy just appeared in his mind .



Although the undamaged clothing didn't suit him well, no one had this kind of clothing in the village, apart from the people in the Sword Fortress . Even the village chief Gao also didn't have any .

“Going well, going well, what brings you here today?” Elder Yu constantly bowed his head as he spoke .

“Nothing serious . Just come to visit you . Am I not welcomed?” Said the old man .

“No, no… it is just my house… if you don't mind, please do come in…” elder Yu instantly became very nervous .

“No need, we can talk outside . ” said the old man after he took a quick glance at the pumpkin house inside . Probably he didn't want to see that “monster” .

“My wife and I had a discussion last night . Now that we are no longer having the food problem, we should think about our future . Don't you think so? My third third kid is also old enough now . It is time to find her a husband . ” seeing elder Yu's surprised face, the old man smiled .
   
“Elder Yu, you know my family's situation . I lost my oldest when he was just three years old . Although the second kid was very hardworking, he will eventually leave this small village . So, my family's future will depend on my daughter . ”

“Elder brother Yang, you… you mean…” elder Yu was so surprised that he couldn't even talk properly .

“I don't want to beat around the bush . This is my daughter . Is she good enough for your son?” Said the old man as he slightly pushed the girl forward .

“Ah? . . . ” Elder Yu's gasped in shock . Only after a while did he finally came back from shock and said hurriedly, “of course, of course, I mean… but my son… my family is not good…”

In fact, it was not surprised that elder Yu would lose his composure . Although his oldest kid was only around fifteen years old, base on the village's traditions, he should have been already married . However, because of his family condition, no one really wanted to marry their daughters to his oldest son .

“Don't be like this . I have seen what that kid has been doing . He is hardworking and very filial . I have no worries to give him my daughter . ” Said the old man .

“But…” elder Yu stuttered .

“If you are not objecting it . I'll take this as yes . Once we sort out the things in the village, we can find a good day to have a wedding ceremony . ” The old man quickly said . He then said to the girl, “Dong Er, on your knees to greet your father-in-law, then this arrangement is done . ”

The little girl was very nervous . As soon as she heard what her father said, she immediately knelt down . Her face was instantly blushed when she accidentally noticed that the boy they were talking about were not far from them .

“Please get up, there is no need for this, I… you are a good kid . . . ” elder Yu quickly said . He went through all the pockets in his clothing, hoping that he could find something to give to the girl as a gift . In the end, he could only praise the girl .

“Take this . Consider this as the engagement gift . ” said Chu Yunsheng after he slid down from top of the pumpkin house and gave the girl a bag of salt .

There weren't many things that he could use to make up what he did to the kids in this village . For the families that had lost their kids, more or less received some “compensation” from him, although none of them knew why Chu Yunsheng was doing this .

It was at this moment, Chu Yunsheng also noticed that the oldest kid of elder Yu's family was also looking at the girl .

Seeing Chu Yunsheng was looking at him, the boy instantly blushed . He immediately bowed his head down and walked away, pretending that he was busy doing something .

Although no one knew what the oldest kid was doing, Chu Yunsheng suddenly noticed that there was a trace of a happy smile on the corner of his mouth .
