In order to thank MO Ruyue and Gu Ying, and also to bid farewell to those days when they struggled at death’s door, and to get a good auspicious start.
After seeking MO Ruyue’s opinion, Uncle Mi gathered all the survivors, lit a bonfire, and began to pray to the moon.
In her previous life, MO Ruyue had also participated in various bonfire parties abroad. At that time, she really liked the feeling of drinking and dancing by the bonfire.
Perhaps it was because she had been in the cold darkness for too long, she would occasionally get close to something that could give her warmth. Other than Gu Ying, the only thing that could give her warmth was fire.
Now that time and space had changed, her identity and appearance had also changed, but her closeness to fire had not decreased at all.
“Bing ‘Er, you should go and join them.”
Gu Ying still didn’t like to join in the fun, but he really wanted to see MO Ruyue’s heartfelt smile. Seeing that she was somewhat eager to watch the people dancing by the bonfire, he encouraged her.
“No, I’ll stay here with you and watch over them.”
MO Ruyue shook her head and snuggled into Gu Ying’s arms.
“We’re going to leave soon, and maybe we won’t have any more interactions in this life, so why should we be so deeply tied together?”
She had always been a rational person, so she could always keep a calm mind and make the most appropriate judgment.
“Alright, let’s just wait and see.”
Gu Ying almost never retorted her opinion, so he naturally agreed. After a while, a young girl left the crowd and ran toward them.
“Lady Qin, Young Master Ying, come and dance with us.”
The little girl’s face was red, and the corners of her eyes and eyebrows were all smiling. When she looked at the two people talking, she was shy.
The pair of celestial-like people in front of her were really beautiful. Even the celestials in the paintings looked like this, right?
“No, I’m a little tired. Seeing that you’re going to go back and rest after playing for a while, you should have fun.”
MO Ruyue shook her head and did not accept the little girl’s invitation.
“You’re tired? Then you really need to rest well. Health is the most important!” When the little girl heard this, her expression immediately became nervous.
During this period of time, Lady Qin and Young Master Ying had been running here and there for everyone’s affairs, and they had to worry about it. It couldn’t be that they were exhausted because of this, right?
MO Ruyue saw her worried eyes and knew what she was thinking.
“Don’t think too much. It’s just that I’m a little tired after sitting in the carriage for a long time. I’ll naturally be fine after sleeping for a night.”
She blurted out a word of comfort, and Gu Ying couldn’t help but shoot her a look.
Other than the few people closest to her, he had never seen MO Ruyue take the initiative to comfort anyone.
Now that she had learned to take the initiative to comfort others, this improvement was too huge.
“Mm, I understand. I’ll go back and let everyone know. You should go and rest!”
The little girl was instantly flattered by MO Ruyue’s comfort. She nodded repeatedly and ran to the crowd by the bonfire.
Just as MO Ruyue was about to stick to Gu Ying for a while longer, she saw that the survivors had actually started to use soil to extinguish the fire.
Very quickly, Uncle Mi walked over with a torch and said to MO Ruyue, “Lady Qin, I heard that you were not feeling well? We were all worried, so we entrusted this old man to come and ask.”
MO Ruyue originally just didn’t want to dance by the bonfire, so she just made up an excuse. She didn’t expect the survivors to actually take it seriously.
“Uncle Mi, I’m fine. I’m just a little sleepy. I’ll be fine after a night’s rest.”
“Then you should quickly go back and rest. We’ve also had our fun. Put out the bonfire early and go back to sleep. We still have to continue to plow the land and sow the seeds tomorrow morning.”
Even though Uncle Mi said that, the worry in his eyes did not decrease at all. “You don’t have to worry. I’m a doctor and I know my body best. I just need to sleep and I don’t even need to take medicine.
MO Ruyue now knew why they had put out the fire. It was to not disturb her and let her rest.
She could tell from the survivors’ faces that they were not satisfied yet.
However, no matter how much she tried to persuade them, these people had already put out the bonfire. It was better to go along with their wishes and go back to rest.
It had just rained heavily yesterday. Although the weather was good today and the sun had been hanging in the sky, the ground was still muddy. They might not be able to work in the fields tomorrow.
MO Ruyue planned to renovate the land outside the village and use the muddy ground to sprinkle some spirit spring water. It would certainly not arouse suspicion.
Everyone came over to greet MO Ruyue one by one, and then walked toward their respective houses, still unsatisfied.
“Ying, let’s water the field outside after everyone is asleep.”
MO Ruyue would not let go of such a good opportunity. The earlier she finished the things here, the earlier she could embark on the next part of her journey.
“Alright, but leave this matter to me. You should rest early, or go back and accompany the babies.”
They had been busy with the survivors’ affairs, and even when they returned to the space occasionally, they didn’t spend the night there. They just had a meal with the babies and left.
Now, the babies could only stay in the space for the time being and wait for MO Ruyue to come back. Only then would they be happier and more lively.
The two of them knew that they had been cooped up in the interspace for too long. So after they settled down in the village, MO Ruyue would return to the interspace to accompany them almost every night.
“No, let’s work together and divide the work. It’ll be better to finish this earlier.”
MO Ruyue, however, felt that this little bit of time was not a problem. Besides, the land was too muddy and not suitable for sowing immediately. It was easy to spoil the grain and vegetable seeds.
After the two finished their discussion, they turned around and drove the carriage back to the village.
Before dawn the next day, smoke was already rising from every household in the village.
MO Ruyue was practicing martial arts in the courtyard, but Gu Ying was nowhere to be seen.
She had been using the fire of first light since early morning. She used the two sets of fist techniques to warm up and mobilize her own life force.
There was a pot of mixed grain porridge on the kitchen stove, and a few vegetable buns with vegetable filling were cooked in the steamer next to it.
She had already had breakfast in her space, but she had to make a show for the other survivors, so she had to cook another meal after she left her space.
Of course, the food would not go to waste. She would use the excuse of making too much to distribute it to a few elderly people and children who were disabled.
It was strange to say that there should have been more young men and women surviving, but unexpectedly, the most vulnerable elderly and children survived.
Since she couldn’t stay and help them farm, she would do what she could before she left.
A light sound came from behind him. Gu Ying had returned.
He got up early and rode on Little Black to the surrounding area to see if he could find any more prey to bring back.
Wild chickens and ducks could be kept in captivity to lay eggs, and the chicks and ducks that hatched could continue to be fed, at least to ensure a certain amount of protein intake.
MO Ruyue turned around and saw that Gu Ying was indeed holding a huge bamboo cage with some pheasants inside.
These pheasants were not those pheasants with colorful feathers, but domestic chickens that had escaped when the natural disaster struck.
Now that they were in the cage, they didn’t struggle and just stood there obediently, as if they knew they had returned to the human world..
