Who Stole My Eggs?

As night fell, Huo Yao and the other men returned to the village carrying today’s loot. They had a great harvest today. When they went out to sea, they encountered a group of big fish and caught a lot of them without any effort.

In addition to fresh sea fish, Huo Yao also brought a small gadget to Xie Zuo, which he pulled off from the tail of a fish.

Huo Yao and the others stood at the entrance of the village. Old Man Fan looked at his dark house and scratched his head: “It’s strange, why is there no one at home? What time is it? Why is my wife hasn’t lit a fire for cooking?”

He said, others also found that there were no lights in their houses. On weekdays, they could smell the aroma of food even before they reached the village entrance. Today, the air was especially fresh and clean.

“Is something going on? Go and have a look!” As soon as Old Man Fan spoke, the men all picked up their tools.

Huo Yao looked at the only courtyard with lights on, “It should be fine, don’t scare them.”

A group of old men surrounded Huo Yao and approached the courtyard. Before they reached the door, they heard bursts of noise coming from inside. It was all laughter, everyone felt relieved.

Old Man Fan told a young man, “Go in and take a look. What’s going on inside.”

The young man was a little embarrassed when he thought he had to face a large group of young women and old wives alone. He sneaked to the door and stuck out half of his head. His face turned half red before he could speak.

Almost all the women in the village gathered in the courtyard. They were either standing or sitting, surrounding Xie Zuo. He didn’t know what they were talking about. Their faces were red and their eyes were bright. The young man was so frightened that he didn’t dare to say anything.

There was a fishing net that had been woven twice at Xie Zuo’s feet, and a handful of melon seeds in his hand, with various fruits beside it.

Grandma Fan had laughed enough. When she saw the young man at the door, she stood up and clapped her hands, “Okay, okay, it’s getting late. Let’s go back to our homes. Young Madam Huo, you have to come tomorrow and tell us more about the deeds of that queen.”

Xie Zuo threw a melon seed into the air, opened his mouth and caught it accurately, stood up, patted his clothes, “No problem, we will meet again tomorrow.”

The women picked up their things. After finishing it, they walked out the door chatting and laughing.

Xie Zuo picked up the uneaten snacks and fruits into the basket and took them away unceremoniously. When he went out, he saw Huo Yao, “You are finally back!”

Huo Yao took his snack basket with one hand and held him with the other hand, “Go home. What did you do today?”

Xie Zuo stuck out his tongue, “Playing and telling stories.”

The two walked side by side on the road. Everyone in the village took their wives and daughters and went back to their homes. The lights in the courtyard of the small fishing village lit up one after another, making the deep blue sky look particularly warm.

.

Huo Yao couldn’t help laughing when he heard Xie Zuo tell what happened to him today.

Xie Zuo spread his hands and showed him several needle holes on his fingertips. “Thankfully, I was smart, otherwise I would have been forced to mend fishing nets, embroider, and tie shoe soles with them! It would be terrible.”

“So, you just told them stories.”

“What else? My mother’s personal deeds are more exciting than the legends. They are all stunned. These human women have been too domesticated. They have been taught what women should be like since they were young. What should be done and what should not be done. In fact, there is no difference between men and women as human being. There is no difference between whether they dare or not.”

Huo Yao nodded in agreement, “There is no hierarchy between men and women in the world when they work together. But in the human world, after so many years of development and evolution, a social structure dominated by men cannot be changed overnight.

“There is a general rule in every world, “The old and the weak, women and children should receive more care, especially pregnant women. They are really too fragile and must be taken good care of.”

Huo Yao heard him mention pregnancy and hugged him gently. He said, “Regardless of men and women, pregnancy and childbirth are very hard, and they must be taken good care of.”

Xie Zuo looked at the sky helplessly. He was doing it again, still about this again, how could he make this person understand that he was not pregnant! What was in his belly was his golden core! That was not fetal movement, it was the fusion of demon power and divine power in the golden core!

While they were talking, the two of them returned home. Xie Zuo locked the door and decided to have a serious talk with him, “You have gone out so many times, have you found any trace of the Deity of Medicine?”

“I have only collected some clues, so I can’t do anything yet.”

Xie Zuo thought to himself, “I didn’t talk in vain today, I also found a lot of information. Let’s put it all together, I don’t believe we can’t find him.” After dinner, Xie Zuo and Huo Yao sat under the lamp, exchanging their collected information.

Xie Zuo spread out a piece of paper and picked up the pen, “Let’s talk about your side first.”

Huo Yao said: “First, the Deity of Medicine must be on the Yaoshan Mountain.”

Xie Zuo put down the pen, “Wait, I want to ask you, why are you so sure the deity is here? Isn’t it boring to stay in one place all the time? That deity might have gone out to play and won’t come back for hundreds of years. Aren’t we waiting in vain? ”

Huo Yao didn’t answer immediately, but looked around first.

The humidity in the fishing village was very high, and the windows were covered with specially made local fish film window paper, which was both breathable and moisture-proof. At this moment, some moisture had condensed on the window paper. They stuck to the window paper like pearls, and as the weight accumulated, one tremblingly slips off from time to time.

Xie Zuo lowered his voice, “Are you afraid of someone eavesdropping?”

Huo Yao shook his head and stood up and opened the window to let the moist air flow in. He sat down and touched Xie Zuo’s face, “Breathing more fresh air will be good for… you.”

Xie Zuo resisted the urge to roll his eyes. Yes, he knew what Huo Yao wanted to say was that it was good for the fetus. He was so done with this bullshit!
