Chapter 191 The Insects Have Balanced Nutrition

Seeing that she was scared, the baby-faced girl said softly, "My name is Ye Keke. The god you believe in is my master. I will take care of you while she is away."

Xu Yintong still did not let down her guard, because before the Lord God left, he had made sufficient preparations and even gave them some extra fruits and snacks, but he did not mention this Lord "Ye Keke". This meant that the Lord God did not arrange this matter, so the identity of this "Ye Keke" was very suspicious...

In just two seconds, many thoughts flashed through Xu Yintong's mind, but she didn't dare to speak carelessly. After all, there was a huge difference in size between her and Ye Keke. If she angered Ye Keke, the other party could just throw something down and destroy the entire village.

Xu Yintong asked politely, "Master Ye, what can I do for you?"

Ye Keke noticed the change in her expression and couldn't help but laugh: "You doubt my identity, but you don't dare to bring it up, because you are afraid that I will hurt you, right?"

Hearing this, Xu Yintong's expression froze, wondering if this gentleman could read minds? She said nervously: "No, of course I believe you..."

Ye Keke said: "The reason I showed up is because I saw a candlelight in your room, and you were lying on the table... If you fell asleep and knocked over the candlestick, it might cause a fire, so I knocked on the door to remind you and wanted you to go to bed."

"Hey?"

Xu Yintong was obviously stunned. After she reacted, she said, "Thank you for your concern. I was so ashamed to have doubted your identity just now."

Ye Keke smiled and said, "It's okay. It's a good thing to be alert. Go to bed early."

Xu Yintong nodded vigorously, "Yes!"

She obediently turned back to the house and blew out the candle.

……

early morning.

After getting up, the villagers of Baishan Village cooked at home.

Everyone has now developed a habit of praying to the gods before and after every meal.

After dinner, the villagers started their day's work.

Washing clothes, mending, mopping, chopping trees...

Lan Yueji and other members of the caravan were busy repairing the road. The introverted girl Yu Qin'er and her brother Yu Zonghe were both awakened and could mix something similar to cement. Bu Shangban and others were responsible for shoveling sand and stones.

The villagers of Baishan Village used to use stones, wood or bluestone slabs as road-building materials. They didn't expect that this group of caravanners would tinker with such strange things. But the villagers didn't stop them. They thought, "Guests are guests," so they let them do whatever they want as long as they don't demolish everyone's houses.

Bu Shangban worked all day and was so tired that his back and waist ached. He did not allow the villagers to walk on any cement ground. The villagers were very cooperative, but one villager said jokingly: "As long as you believe in God, we will listen to you."

Bu Shangban: "...I believe it. I believe it very much! As long as you don't destroy this concrete floor, I will be the most devout believer in God. Even if God wants my life, I will give it to her without hesitation."

Xu Yintong didn't like to hear such words, "What nonsense are you talking about? The Lord God is merciful and kind, why would he want your life?"

Bu Shangban's eyes were still fixed on the concrete floor as he nodded and said, "Yeah, I agree with that. She is the most beautiful and kind god I have ever seen."

Xu Yintong sensed Bu Shangban's perfunctory attitude, but seeing that the road he paved was smooth and flat, he thought it must have taken a lot of hard work, so he stopped making things difficult for him and said, "It looks like we have to take a detour home today."

At this time, a tanned man said with a bitter face: "You can still go back by taking a detour, but this land has blocked my door. How can I go back?"

Someone nearby grabbed the man's arm and said, "Why worry about this? Come on, go to my house and sleep. I have plenty of rooms."

The man said: "I'm not worried about where to live, but my wife and children are all locked up in the yard and can't get out..."

Bu Shangban comforted him, "We have food at home, so we won't starve. I'll water the cement floor later... It's hot now, and the sun is scorching. We'll be able to leave by tomorrow afternoon."

The man sighed and said, "But if I don't see my wife for a day, I will get sick..."

When Bu Shangban heard this, his eyes widened and he quickly asked, "What's the disease? Is it serious?"

The man replied: "Love sickness, if it only lasts for one night, it's not serious, but if it lasts for ten days or half a month, it's serious."

Bu Shangban: “…” He was unexpectedly fed a mouthful of dog food.

He pulled the corners of his lips and didn't want to talk.

But the man was still nagging, "You don't know how good my wife is to me. She washes the dishes after dinner every day! Of course, I am responsible for cooking. Now I am trapped outside, and I don't know if my wife and children can have delicious meals... When it comes to cooking, I am the only one in the family who has the best cooking skills. The meals cooked by others can only be said to be enough to keep them from starving, and they can't be compared with mine at all..."

Bu Shangban's face darkened, "Shut up, or I'll hit you now."

In the blink of an eye, another day has passed.

Xu Yintong continued to write in her diary: [June 6, the God has not returned yet.]

【The village started to build a road.】

[I really want to follow the God. I don't know if she will be in danger when she goes out. It would be great if I could help her.]

【Respect God, Miss God】

After finishing writing, Xu Yintong blew out the candle, sat in front of the window for a while, and then lay down to sleep.

……

Night, Hulu Town.

The lives of the townspeople are still the same as before. They light candles at night and fall asleep early. Even if they wake up in the middle of the night, they will not leave the house or make any noise.

Previously, the [Prophet] Fang Yurong had said that he planned to use the method of sending dreams to help the people in the town gradually accept the immortals.

At the beginning, Fang Yurong thought this method was feasible, but gradually, she found that it was better for the townspeople's lives to remain the same and not suitable for change.

The reason is very simple. There are too many people in the town. There are all kinds of birds in the forest. When Fang Yurong used the method of collective dreaming, he detected that more than half of the people had strong greed in their hearts. After believing in the gods, many people would make some rather outrageous wishes -

For example, they hope that a girl from a certain family will fall in love with them, and even better, marry them at their own expense; some people think their families are too poor, and they long for adventure and to become rich overnight; some people are even more outrageous, thinking that their parents favor their eldest brother, giving all the property to him, and leaving him, the youngest son, to take care of them in their old age, and they feel uncomfortable, so they pray to the gods to make the eldest brother's family die suddenly...

Of course, there are also villagers who value contentment and are willing to sincerely worship the immortals.

Therefore, Fang Yurong adopted different methods to treat different people. She only guided those people who were kind-hearted to believe in gods and immortals. As for those who were greedy, the concept of gods and immortals was erased from their minds by dreams, and they were not guided.

At present, only a small number of people in the town believe in gods and immortals. Most people do not believe in them and they don’t even know that gods and immortals exist.

Fang Yurong originally wanted to personally apologize to the immortal, feeling that she had not done a good enough job as a "prophet" and had failed to make all the people believe in the immortal. However, in recent times, the immortal Mingyue basically did not appear in the sky above Hulu Town. Only the adult named Ye Keke was feeding the insects every night and watching them eat.

Ye Keke would occasionally chat with Fang Yurong, but the topics of conversation were rather strange.

For example, tonight, Ye Keke looked around the entire Baishan Village. After finding that most of the villagers were asleep, she returned to the sky above Hulu Town. Ye Keke was not in a hurry to feed the insects. She looked down at the earth from a high altitude and saw Fang Yurong standing in the yard. She asked, "Yurong, it's so late, why aren't you asleep yet?"

Fang Yurong said, "I'm a little worried."

Ye Keke said: "Oh, I have something on my mind too."

Fang Yurong was curious, "What?"

Ye Keke said: "I don't know if it's my illusion, but I feel like there are fewer fat bugs at night... But I haven't counted how many bugs there are in your town before, so I'm not sure whether there are fewer or not."

"There are fewer insects?" Fang Yurong was surprised, and then asked, "Sir, could it be that you feed them too much every day... The insects are too full and are hiding in their homes, too lazy to come out?"

"Hmm..." Ye Keke nodded thoughtfully and said, "Indeed, bugs have become picky eaters now, but it doesn't matter. I naturally like bugs. If all the people in the town could turn into bugs at night, I guarantee that everyone would become fat."

Fang Yurong: “…” Thank you, I don’t want to turn into a bug, and I don’t want to become fat.

Ye Keke warned: "By the way, please don't tell my master what I just said."

Fang Yurong smiled and said, "Don't worry, sir. I'm not the kind of person who talks too much. Besides, I can't see the gods."

Ye Keke ignored her and muttered, "That's good. Now it's time to feed the bugs. Let's have a light meal today. Feed them some lettuce leaves..."

She dropped the lettuce leaves onto the street.

Insects are picky eaters. Some insects like to eat lettuce, so they will gnaw on the lettuce leaves. Some insects don’t like to eat lettuce, so they will just watch from the sidelines.

After the bugs that loved to eat lettuce had finished eating them, Ye Keke reached out and caught all the bugs that had not eaten the lettuce just now, and aimed their mouths at the lettuce leaves.

The insect turned its head away and refused to eat.

Ye Keke directly put the lettuce next to the insect's mouth and said, "Eat it. These leaves are fresh and delicious. How can you waste food?"

The two trapped insects couldn't break free, and had no choice but to reluctantly take a few bites of the lettuce.

Ye Keke was quite patient. After feeding the two insects in her hand, she went to catch a few other insects to make sure that every one of them could eat fresh lettuce.

Fang Yurong came out of her yard and witnessed all this. Fang Yurong: "..."

Ye Keke said: "These little guys are so ignorant. Food is so precious, but they actually waste it. We must let them finish eating it..."

Fang Yurong nodded silently. "You are right. I think your feeding method is very correct. I fed them meat some time ago and vegetables recently. No wonder the insects are so strong. It must be because of the balanced nutrition."

Ye Keke smiled shyly, "It's okay. This is my first time raising insects. I didn't expect that I could raise them so well."

At this moment, Fang Yurong was extremely thankful that she was a [prophet] and would not be assimilated by the [disaster-responsible insect]. Otherwise, she would turn into an insect every night and be fed by Master Ye Keke, gaining four pounds in three days. That would be a nightmare...

The night passed by unknowingly.

That night, Master Ye Keke caught at least thirty insects and patiently fed each one with lettuce.

Fang Yurong had insomnia, so she didn't sleep and just stood on the street watching all night.

When the day was about to dawn, most of the insects twisted their bodies and fled back to their homes.

There was only one relatively thin little insect, which was caught by Ye Keke and could not escape.

"This bug is too weak. It should eat more meat." Ye Keke handed a piece of braised beef to the little bug's mouth.

This little bug is very picky about food. It only likes to eat mutton and won't eat any other meat.

Fang Yurong couldn't bear to watch it any longer. After all, the little bug had a child's face and looked pitiful. "Master Ye, it's almost dawn. Put it back quickly."

"Okay, we must feed this little bug more food tonight." Ye Keke let go of her hand.

The little bugs fled quickly.

Ye Keke said: "I remember where its home is."

Hearing this, the little bug, who had just escaped to the yard and was about to return to the house, suddenly trembled.

Ye Keke didn't care. After all, children under the age of seven could see her and hear her voice, even if she turned into a bug.

With the arrival of morning, the whole little world regained its vitality, and people got up one after another, lit fires and cooked.

There are also some poor people who cannot afford three meals a day, so they just drink some water in the morning and then go out to work.

Ye Keke didn't care about such things before, but when she saw the little bug that she caught and fed to the braised beef turned into a human during the day, its life was very difficult. It only drank a sip of water in the morning and then followed its mother to go out to set up a stall to sell goods.

"Kong Han, I want to discuss something with you..." Ye Keke had an idea in her mind, but when she looked up, she realized that Kong Han was not there. He had taken two peacocks for a stroll in the sect before dawn today.

Song Lu asked lazily, "What's wrong?"

Ye Keke said, "Kong Han always sent three people from Mojia Village to the town to sell food. The price was very cheap and they gave a lot of food... I want Kong Han to send the three sellers here earlier, so that the people can buy some cheap food before working, eat a little, and have more energy to work in the morning."

After a pause, Ye Keke continued, "The three people from Mojia Village alone are not enough. We have too many poor people here, and they are in urgent need of cheap and delicious food."

Song Lu tilted his head and said, "Since you care so much about the villains in Hulu Town, why not just show up and leave food for them, so that you don't have to wait for the villains in Mojia Village to sell food."
