Chapter 72 - II
After returning to the small courtyard where they lived, Xie Zuo watched Huo Yao pack his things and directed him to collect and take away everything he liked.
Xie Zuo looked at the busy Huo Yao and fell into deep thought. Something felt wrong. Was there something happening that he didn’t know about?
Huo Yao was a little strange, not normal. This person usually had a straight face and sharp eyes. He stood in front of others without saying anything, which always made people start to think about whether they had done something wrong. But the Thunder Deity was very happy along the way. Huo Yao was introverted by nature, and always kept his emotions and anger a secret, which was exactly the opposite of Xie Zuo.
But when he was happy, his eyes were always brighter than usual. At this moment, Huo Yao’s eyes seemed to be filled with stars, shining brightly. However, Huo Yao seemed to have something on his mind. He would think deeply from time to time, and Xie Zuo wondered what he was thinking about.
Xie Zuo stepped forward and hugged Huo Yao from behind, “What are you thinking about?”
Huo Yao stroked his hand, “I am thinking of you.”
Xie Zuo smiled, “Why are you so good at talking all of a sudden?”
Huo Yao turned around, sat down by the bed, let Xie Zuo sit on his lap, and kissed him passionately.
When Xie Zuo’s clothes were torn off, he suddenly held Huo Yao down, “Wait a minute.” He looked around and shouted, “Little medicine deity, are you peeking?”
After a long period of silence, there was a sound coming from the window. Bian Zhong’s voice came in embarrassment, “Get out of here, who’s watching!”
“Bang, bang—!” There were two loud noises, and the windows and doors were slammed shut.
Xie Zuo put his arms around Huo Yao’s neck, “She said she wasn’t peeking, but she was still looking. She’s gone, hug me!”
.
That night, all the residents on Yaoshan had the same dream. In the dream, a girl with an indifferent expression warned them there would be a big disaster in Yaoshan in three days, and they must move out within two days, otherwise they would die without any body parts.
The next morning, everyone woke up from the shock and found that everyone in the house, men, women, old and young, had the same dream. When everyone got together, they discovered that everyone had dreamed of the same thing.
Xie Zuo’s door was also knocked loudly, and Aunt Li’s voice was louder than usual, “Madam of the Huo family, are you awake? Something big is going to happen soon!”
Although Xie Zuo wanted to be with Huo Yao again after a while, he also wanted to join in the fun more, so he got up quickly and opened the door.
As soon as the door opened, Aunt Li grabbed his hand excitedly, “Did you also dream about the Deity of Medicine?”
“Huh? Ah, yes, I dreamed about it. I am packing my things!”
Aunt Li sighed and wiped away tears, and said: “The Deity of Medicine is merciful. You don’t know, people who go fishing say the fog in the outer sea has opened a hole, and there are all boats on the beach, and there is a golden light from the shore leading straight to the hole. This is the Deity of Medicine asking us to take refuge!”
Xie Zuo touched his chin. This little Deity of Medicine was really duplicitous. Didn’t she say that all mortals are ants? What kind of boat should she prepare for ants?
Aunt Li shook Xie Zuo’s hand, “Old Man Fan met with the other village chiefs. We all agreed we would set off tomorrow. Remember to follow.”
“Remember, thank you Aunt Li.”
.
That night, every village in the coastal area of Yaoshan was brightly lit, and everyone was busy packing their things. Bian Zhong reminded them they were only allowed to bring clothes and food, and were not allowed to take gold or silver, let alone any herbs from the Yaoshan Mountain.
Xie Zuo followed Huo Yao in the clouds and inspected each village.
“This little deity of medicine is duplicitous. Didn’t she dislike her followers? But everything is ready.”
“Well, she has always been hard-spoken and soft-hearted.” Huo Yao looked at the sky, probably sensing the deity of medicine was about to respond. Clouds began to gather, and the thick fog on the outer sea was gradually approaching, with thunder and lightning faintly flashing in it.
Huo Yao said: “Tomorrow I will go to sea with you, and the ship will automatically arrive at Bian Zhong’s other territories with the golden light. Once you leave the fog, I will immediately lead to the heavenly tribulation. You are also a person who is approaching the tribulation, so pay attention to avoid it.”
“Yeah, I remember.” Xie Zuo couldn’t help but wonder, “Will the little medical deity be okay?”
“It’s hard to say, everything depends on her luck.”
By the end of the next day, a large number of villagers had gathered at the beach. Under the command of the village chief, they lined up one by one to get on the boat and leave.
Those boats were blessed by divine power, and as soon as they were full of people, they would automatically follow the guidance of the golden light and sail to the open sea.
Xie Zuo was going to be the last one to board the boat, so he and Huo Yao helped maintain order.
