Who Stole My Eggs?

Yaoshan had beautiful scenery, a suitable climate, abundant products, and the villagers were kind, simple, and hospitable, making it very livable.

Xie Zuo stayed there with Huo Yao for half a month. Strangely enough, since going up the mountain, Xie Zuo had never suffered from nausea. He felt very comfortable eating and drinking every day. However, after living there for so long, they hadn’t even seen the shadow of the Deity of Medicine.

As they lived longer and longer, the villagers pointed fingers at Xie Zuo more and more.

Every time Xie Zuo and Huo Yao went out together, they got completely opposite comments.

Although Huo Yao was unsmiling and had a dull personality, he was very popular wherever he went because of his open mind, hard-working and capable style. When others mentioned him, the most impressive thing was not his handsome face or his strong body, but two words: reliable man. He seemed to have a natural ability to make everyone around him naturally believe in him. As long as he was there, all problems could be solved.

As for Xie Zuo, he always had a smile on his face and seemed very approachable at first glance, but because of his erratic behavior and unstable temperament, people around him were afraid to really get close to him. Maybe it was because of the demonic nature in him, or maybe it was because he showed it naturally. People who had been with him for a long time always felt uncomfortable when they saw him. For example, when he was the emperor of Yunzhao Kingdom, although he was young and rarely lost his temper, when he went to court, all the officials held their breath and no one dared to neglect him.

It was the same when he arrived at Yaoshan. Huo Yao quickly became involved with the men around him and was invited by them to go to the mountains to collect medicines and go fishing in the sea. And because he always contributed the most and never competed when the results were distributed, he quickly became the most popular partner.

As for Xie Zuo, he really wanted to go to the mountains and sea with Huo Yao, but because he dressed as a woman, he was always rejected by the male villagers, which made him very angry.

“Stupid, narrow-minded mortal!” When Xie Zuo was about to follow Huo Yao out for the first time, he was despised by the leader, Old Man Fan, who resolutely did not allow him to follow and said harshly, “This is a man’s livelihood, you are a woman. Why do you want to mess around with us?”

Xie Zuo was so angry that he slammed the table, “What’s wrong with being a woman?”

Huo Yao could only comfort him privately, “Where do you want to go, I will take you alone, why bother with them?”

“Humph,” he said, “I don’t care about it at all!” It was one thing if he didn’t care about it, but it was another thing not to let him go. It was so annoying!

Xie Zuo could only send Huo Yao out, and he could only stay at home to eat and drink, or wander around with his hands on his hips, and he lived a leisurely life.

He was so lazy and idle all day long that the hardworking women in the village couldn’t stand it.

“Young Master Huo’s wife spend the whole day either eating, playing, or sleeping. She’s too lazy, right?”

“I don’t know what disease she has. But I saw she jumps up and down very well. I’m afraid it’s the laziness!”

“How could Young Master Huo, a man who is so conscientious, marry such a lazy woman?”

“Hey, she is so arrogant, when Young Master Huo is not at home, she just wandering around like this every day?”

The women really couldn’t stand it anymore. They all worked together and invited the Grandma Fan out, deciding to teach Xie Zuo how to be a good wife and mother.

.

On this day, Huo Yao went to sea early in the morning with the men in the village. Xie Zuo stayed in bed for a while, reminiscing about the bliss of last night, and started humming a tune.

When he looked in the mirror, he looked at himself who had automatically transformed into a female body after getting out of bed. He frowned and there was a soft “pop” sound, and the mirror surface immediately cracked into a spider web. He didn’t know how many mirrors he had been frightened by.

“Out of sight, out of mind,” Xie Zuo said to himself.

There was rice left for him by Huo Yao in the kitchen. It was a combination of meat and vegetables. It was fragrant and delicious and made Xie Zuo’s index finger move.

After a delicious meal, Xie Zuo packed a small baggage for himself and went out in a big way. He was going to wander around the mountains to see if he could catch this deity of medicine who could not be seen either the hair or the toes.

Xie Zuo passed by the neighbor’s house next door. Two fat ladies were sitting at the door, picking up shoe soles. He nodded to them as a greeting.

Unexpectedly, the two aunts stood up and held his arms on the left and right.

Xie Zuo blinked, “What are you doing?”

The one on the left said, “I’m Grandma Fan, old man Fan’s wife.”

“Oh.”

The one on the right said, “I’m Aunt Li, I live next door to your house. You don’t know?”

“Remember.”

Grandma Fan said, “It was too dangerous for such a young little wife to go out on her own. Come do some work with us.”

Xie Zuo was dragged away by them.
