The beloved baby has a space

Chapter 227 Are the Gods Away?

Thunderstorms usually come on strong and can turn the ground into a muddy mess in the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.

And after a short break, it has to continue.

Not long after the children picked the lotus pods, the second rain came.

This time, Wang Dalang ignored them and drove everyone away.

"Go back and change your clothes quickly, drink some hot soup, and don't catch a cold!"

If you catch a cold, it can be fatal.

So many children got soaked in the rain today; I'm afraid some of them will get sick.

Wang Dalang felt a pang of regret. He was already an adult and should act like one.

We shouldn't let our younger siblings play like this.

When they parted, the other children in the village shared some of their lotus pods with Xiao Ayu.

It's just a little bit; I wouldn't want to give up more.

They like to eat it themselves and want to take some back to their parents.

Little Ayu handed the bag to Wang Wulang, asking him to help put all the lotus pods inside.

The Spirit-Testing Rat had already hidden in Little Ayu's hair before the rain started, and the little lamb, seeing that things were not going well, also returned to Old Wang's house early.

On their way back, they even encountered a snake that had come out to drink water.

Tangyuan exclaimed "Ah!" and hid behind the crowd, her face pale.

She's terrified of snakes!

"Hey, Snake, do you want to eat lotus seeds?" Little Ayu, with her sharp eyes, tossed a lotus seed from her hand over.

Snakes have no hearing, so they couldn't hear Xiao Ayu speaking.

The snake turned its head slightly, sensing something in front of it.

Hesitantly, he finally bit into the lotus seed.

"Snakes eat lotus pods?!" Wang Liulang was quite surprised.

Tangyuan, who had kept her eyes tightly closed and dared not look, opened them a crack upon hearing this.

The snake... is really eating lotus pods!
Moreover, the snake's tail wiggled back and forth, as if it were dancing.

She suddenly realized that snakes were actually quite docile.

After biting the lotus seed, the snake twisted a few times and left, its movements unhurried and unperturbed, showing no fear of the children.

Of course, they had no intention of attacking.

Upon seeing the snake, Wang Wulang suddenly realized that he had forgotten something.

Oh no, he forgot to tell Grandma and the others about what happened on the back mountain!
Those bandits might come to the village!
Wang Wulang took off running, but tripped and fell halfway down. He got up and continued running, as if he were fleeing for his life.

Wang Liulang and Wang Qilang said in unison, "Fifth Brother, are you in such a hurry to go back and get diarrhea?"

Judging from the way it looks, I don't know if it fell out or not.

Just thinking about that scene makes the lotus seedpod in my hand lose its aroma.

Wang Wulang ran back to the Wang family in a sorry state. When Xiao Zhang saw Wang Wulang's miserable appearance, her brow twitched.

"Wang! Wu! Lang! Look at the mess you're in! You'd better wash your own clothes, I'm not going to wash them for you!" This ragtag outfit is an eyesore.

Wang Wulang didn't care about any of that and quickly ran to find Old Mrs. Wang.

"Grandma, there are bandits!" Wang Wulang gasped for breath, swallowing hard several times before he could finish his sentence, "They even want to kill us!"

Hearing the first part, Old Mrs. Wang didn't react much, but when she heard the second part, her eyes turned cold.

"Where did these bandits come from?"

Wang Wulang said, "Today we arrived at the waterfall and encountered several men dressed in black. Without saying a word, they brandished their swords and knives, and it looked like they wanted to kill us!"

"Also, they were talking about some kind of dragon, trying to capture the village children. It was only when the construction team uncles arrived that they were scared off."

As for whether to drive them away or beat them to death, Wang Wulang wasn't quite sure.

They came back later.

"Wang Wulang, you've got some nerve! You dare go to the waterfall! Didn't I tell you not to go so deep? And you even brought Ayu with you, are you tired of living?!" Little Zhang grabbed a broom from the side and smacked Wang Wulang's bottom with it. Wang Wulang let out a howl.

"Mother, I'm talking about serious matters. Can you wait a while before hitting me?" He could only run away after a while.

Little Zhang: "It's perfectly reasonable for me to beat you up!"

Old Mrs. Wang pressed down on Little Zhang's hand and asked Wang Wulang, "Are you sure it's at the waterfall?"

"Yes, I'm sure, the waterfall is so obvious!" Looking at his mother who was ready to beat him up at any moment, Wang Wulang's survival instinct kicked in, and he suddenly remembered something else. "By the way, Grandma, there seems to be something behind that waterfall. The little lamb rushed into the waterfall and brought something out with it."

Hey, speaking of which, where did that thing you brought go?
Is there something behind the waterfall?
In fact, in the more than 10 years since they came to Hujia Village, they have only been to the waterfall a handful of times. As for whether there is anything behind the waterfall, no one has ever verified it.

At this point, Wang Dalang carried Xiao Ayu home, and the courtyard suddenly became lively.

"I understand, you don't need to worry about this anymore." Old Mrs. Wang let go of Xiao Zhang's hand, turned around and walked out.

A loud howl came from behind, and soon Wang Wulang rushed out.

"Go change your clothes first. If you catch a cold, we don't have the money to treat it." Old Mrs. Wang's voice came into the house, and Xiao Zhang, who originally wanted to chase after her to beat her, put down her temper.

I got so angry that I only then remembered how much I felt sorry for them.

"Wang Wulang, come back here and change your clothes!"

Wang Wulang's voice drifted from afar: "Then you have to promise not to hit me!"

Little Zhang sneered: "If you say another word, I promise I won't kill you!"

Wang Wulang: "..."

Originally, Grandma Wang didn't intend to ask too much about things in the mountains, but after hearing what Wang Wulang said, she felt that things weren't so simple.

After the children changed into clean clothes, she questioned Xiao Ayu, Gousheng, Goutou, and Goudan separately, and got a general idea of ​​what was going on.

Grandma Wang beckoned to little Ayu: "Ayu, come with me."

When little Ayu was old enough to understand, she followed Grandma Wang into the house.

Grandma Wang asked, "Ayu, is He still there?"

Little Ayu didn't understand.

"Grandma, who are you asking about?"

"Is the god who follows you no longer here?"

This wasn't the first time Old Mrs. Wang had suspected something, but she wasn't entirely sure until Little Ayu encountered danger. According to the children's accounts, they were able to escape thanks to the people Qin Huai had left behind.

It must have been to protect Ayu secretly, something Old Mrs. Wang hadn't expected.

She was initially at ease letting little Ayu go out to play freely, not because she was at ease with Wang Wulang and the others, but because she knew that Ayu was protected by a deity, and that the deity would protect the child.

But now it seems that even in the most urgent moment, Ayu's guardian spirit did not intervene.

This is different from what was shown before.

Even if it wasn't possible to protect all the children present, it was certainly something that should be done to keep Ayu out of danger.

Little Ayu understood this time, and her expression immediately turned aggrieved: "The elves don't want me anymore."

She had been speaking softly, but when she saw Old Mrs. Wang, she repeated herself. Her lips trembled, her eyes blurred, and she couldn't stop the urge to cry.

"Grandma, is it because I did something wrong that the fairy left me?"

Little Ayu has wanted to ask this for a long time.

"Good child, it's alright." Grandma Wang held little Ayu in her arms and felt especially sorry for her when she heard her trying to hold back her tears.

"Is He telling you that He doesn't want you anymore?"

Little Ayu shook her head: "The fairy said she would come back, but it's been so long and she hasn't returned..."

During this time, Xiao Ayu tried not to think about it, because the thought would make her want to cry.

In her mind, the elves were the ones who had been with her the longest.

“Then let’s wait for Him to come back. Our Ayu is so good, the gods won’t abandon you.”

Old Mrs. Wang's gaze turned slightly cold; she had to go to the mountains.
