Chapter 296: Guarding this place must come at a price
"Why do you say that?"
"She's dead!"
"Ah. Not reading will kill you?!!"
"do not mean that."
"That is?"
"After she stopped studying, she worked at home, but she was getting older, as a girl should. When she gets older, she has to get married. If she didn't study, she would get married. Her father was worried that she would go out to work or be run away by someone, so he didn't let her go out to work and kept her working at home. She didn't think much of working, but she couldn't stand her father drinking and beating people, and she couldn't say anything. Sometimes, her father was unhappy and beat her. Her brother went to school, but he didn't study well, so everyone didn't like him and thought he was dirty. Later, her family arranged a blind date for her and she got married. Because the man treated her badly and there was domestic violence, she drank medicine and died."
"Died from taking poison?"
"Yes, we were all shocked when we heard it."
“That’s really…”
"I really hope she won't be a human in her next life. It's really hard. It's better to be free."
"Yes, I think God will take care of good people."
Ye Chunhao didn't want to talk about these heavy topics anymore.
Everyone has his or her own destiny, which seems to be predestined and not so easy to change.
All in all, it seems that we are all stuck in this vicious circle and cannot escape it.
Black Cat didn't want to talk about that either.
"Oh, right, that black cat. I fed it a lot of fish elves. Now it's very smart. It follows me all day long. I let it help me manage and look after my fish elf pond."
"Really? It's not easy for him. Because of what happened to us, we really need to take good care of him."
"Don't worry, I'm very good to it."
Ye Chunhao didn't think too much about it. Instead, he felt very sleepy, so he talked to it about sleeping. The black cat was also sleepy, so it closed its eyes and went to sleep. After a good sleep, after the daybreak, it would be a new day, right?
In his dream, Ye Chunhao dreamed that they all moved here, but Li Qiuyue and his men came to kill them, and many elves died. It was a horrible sight. Fortunately, he woke up halfway, rubbed his eyes, and realized it was just a dream. Seeing the black cat sleeping soundly, he went back to sleep. I hope that reality is not like this, they should not be like that.
After hearing this, he decided to tell the fortune teller when he had time to see if the matter could be salvaged.
After meeting the fortune teller, Ye Chunhao told her about this matter.
"Are they really all going to move away?"
"Yes, I heard from Black Cat that they have already issued a notice. They want to move away from here to avoid conflicts with humans."
"These damn bad guys ruined such a good piece of paradise. Have you asked if there is any way to remedy it?"
"Probably not. They are worried that Li Chouyue and the others will come again. It would be bad if that would provoke more conflicts."
"They probably won't come. But, is there anything we can do now?"
"What can we do? They want to leave, and we can't stop them."
Ye Chunhao also wanted them to stay, but he was worried that Li Qiuyue and the others would come and destroy everything, killing more elves. Wouldn't that be a sin? It would be better for them to leave.
“It’s a good thing to let them leave!”
The witch didn't say anything. She felt disheartened, as if she had suddenly lost something.
"Why do you want to leave? It's so nice here."
"does it matter?"
"You don't understand. A lot of things."
"What will their departure bring to this place?"
"Maybe it's a disaster."
"Is it that serious?" The witch was worried and felt bad. But Ye Chunhao didn't understand what she meant.
"Yes, it is serious."
"How serious is it?"
“This place might disappear.”
"Oh, no way. We are human beings and the land belongs to us. They are underground and they are still here even though they left us. How could they disappear?"
"It's a long story, and I don't know whether it's true or not."
"Their departure will lead to some natural disasters, and when that happens, our people will definitely be implicated."
"What should I do?"
"I can't help it. Like you said, we can't stop it."
They both fell into silence, not knowing what to say for a moment. If a disaster occurs, this place will no longer exist, and everything will return to ashes or dust. This is what the witch does not want to see. Ye Chunhao did not think it was that serious. He just thought that they left and it had nothing to do with them.
He felt that the fortune teller was being a little too worried.
But looking at her expression, she doesn't seem to be worrying too much.
They must leave. Black Cat also said that they had made the decision long ago. This was a compromise with humans and a way to live in peace. If conflicts broke out, it would be bad for no one.
But after hearing what the witch said, he was also anxious. If this was the case, wouldn't it be terrible? It would bring disaster and make the people here suffer. How could he solve it?
This is really a dilemma.
"What should we do? Is there any solution? Just let them leave and not bring disaster."
"I didn't expect that the best thing would be that they didn't leave."
"That's totally impossible."
"They have their world, we have our world, we can't control them."
"Is that so? Let's see if we can negotiate?"
"We can't see their leader yet."
“So that’s the problem.”
"We kill Li Chouyue? Let them all die. Can this solve the problem?"
"If we kill them, there are still other Li Chouyues. We can't kill them all, so this idea doesn't make sense. Also, why do we have to kill people? This is not good."
"This doesn't work, and that doesn't work. What should I do?"
"Go back, I'll think about it and give you a reply when the time comes. Just focus on your studies and don't think too much. For many things, just tell me and I'll find a solution."
"Well, I really hope there is a good solution."
"I think there will be."
Ye Chunhao returned home, while the witch was thinking about what to do in the temple. Over the years, she actually knew about the existence of elves and wanted to live in peace with them, but the repeated offenses of humans inevitably caused a lot of disputes. She sat in front of the Buddha statue, feeling very anxious.
She wasn't sure what to do or how to do it.
If we let them leave, it will bring disaster, this place will be gone, people will die, it's really not good. What about persuading them not to leave?
Is it feasible?
She tried the same method as before?
Can I meet the leader of the elves?
As the person who protects the peace here, why don't you try to persuade them?
She sat in front of the Buddha statue, chanting scriptures, and worried about whether she would succeed. Over the years, she had studied medicine hard, but it was just some small things. In the age of science, people like them were fascinating. But the strange arts still existed, and she believed that she had the ability to allow everything to happen.
She sat in front of the Buddha statue, burning incense money and muttering something.
For a moment, she felt as if her soul had left her body.
