Why it never ends

Chapter 1095 Age of Death

The day after Hesta left the farm, Dangat moved into the house where Stella and her family lived.

The farm became quieter than ever.

Three key figures were missing, not just Hesta, but Stella and Pakat also left. Hesta entrusted Eucalyptus to Victoria, and Victoria entrusted her to Tiexi. Hesta rode and chatted with Arevalo in the park, wantonly spying on the defense of District 12 and the anecdotes of the nobles.

Tiexi was originally responsible for taking care of Eucalyptus, so she didn't feel any change in her job, but she developed a strong interest in Dangate - for no other reason than that she began to learn the local language since she arrived in District 12.

Among the locals who avoided Dangate, she was the only one who could barely communicate with him.

Tiexi likes to play this role.

Dangat.

This is really a difficult name to pronounce, and Eucalyptus often pronounces it as "Gatedan" or "Dantejia". At first, Eucalyptus thought it might be his own problem. After all, after starting to take the medicine, remembering strangers' names became a great challenge.

To her, there were too many new faces on the farm: the new Mercury Needles, Stella and her team, Eleven and Kiki's new friends, the waiters who took care of the manor, as well as Hesta's old friends and her old friends' friends... Eucalyptus tried to remember these names, but in the end, everyone's name became as blurred as their faces.

She felt a nearly physical barrier between her and real life, which protected her from harm, but also caused her to temporarily lose contact with the outside world.

Tiexi said that this was a normal drug reaction and would recover naturally after stopping the drug. Although Eucalyptus was skeptical, she rationally believed in Tiexi's experience for the time being, so that she could observe her current life from another perspective. After all, if this experience was permanent, it would be frightening, but if it was temporary, she could convince herself to temporarily observe the pain... and life as an observer.

But later, Yugali discovered that she was not the only one who mispronounced Dangat's name, almost everyone did so.

On the first day of moving in, Tiexi tried to give the dirty woman a bath. However, Dangat was very resistant to taking off her clothes, so Tiexi and Eucalyptus took her to the bathroom together and demonstrated it to Dangat.

Tiexi was chatting with Dangate in a halting manner, and it was also that night that Yugali heard from Tiexi the origin of the name "Dangate".

This name means "thirty-four" in the local language of District 12. Dangate's mother died at the age of thirty-four, and she got the name from this.

This is a popular naming method among whale people. Before their mother dies, they will have a nickname, which is often informal, similar to the names of cats, dogs, chickens and ducks. Until their mother dies, they can inherit the age of their mother's death as their own name.

“What if the mother lives a long life?”

"Then she won't have a big name for a long time," Dangat said, sitting in the bathtub, hugging her legs with both hands, "That's something very enviable... As long as someone calls her, everyone knows that she has a mother." When Tiexi and Yujiali heard this, they both sighed. The two did not ask any more questions - their limited language skills were not enough for them to ask deeper questions. However, when they were bathing, they both noticed that Dangat's abdomen was abnormally sunken and bulged, as if it was some kind of abdominal edema in the textbook. It seemed that she had not looked at her body in the mirror for a long time, so she was unaware of it.

Tiexi made an appointment for a doctor to come the next afternoon. However, the next afternoon, before the doctor arrived, the second whale rushed to the main house and shouted at the top of her lungs that she wanted to see Hesta, and she had to see Hesta herself immediately.

The same anxious expression, the same situation of being rejected by the surroundings, the same tattoo on the forehead. Victoria guessed the answer before asking him why he wanted to see Hesta:

"Because the person in her dream is me!" The woman patted her chest vigorously, "When she is in danger in the future, I will be the woman who saves her!"

Without any verification, Victoria asked Tiexi to come over and take the person away.

Victoria had originally guessed that some people would come knocking on her door, but the situation developed much faster than she had imagined. On the night that the second whale man was taken in, about sixty ragged women appeared one after another near the main house. They came in groups, and were both timid and rude.

They looked so terrified, afraid that their actions would bring disaster upon themselves, yet they had to act lawless and ostentatious, as if if they didn't do so, it would be difficult to convince the people in front of them that they were the saviors in the red-haired Salima's dream.

"...This is the situation," Victoria said to Hesta, whose communication was unstable, "There are 67 whales in your backyard right now, and there may be more tomorrow. What are you going to do?"

"Has it rained where you are these two days?" Hesta asked.

Victoria checked the weather: "It looks like it will be sunny all week."

"Then let them collect materials and build the shed tomorrow. Tonight... just stay in the yard. If there are particularly old or young ones, see if you can let them in to the living room to rest - if it does not affect your daily routine," Hesta said. "After they have built their own shed, ask Santa to take them to the construction site immediately. People are needed to work there. As for the food, let Santa take care of it - she can assign some people to help in her kitchen."

"There's one more thing..." Victoria frowned slightly, "The woman you brought back two days ago, the doctor that Tiexi called in this afternoon gave her a physical examination. She's five months pregnant, did you know that?"

Hesta was silent for a moment, but when he spoke next, his tone was not particularly surprised: "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with her body or the child?"

"She's been pregnant for more than five months, and she hasn't had any pregnancy tests, and she can't explain how she got pregnant."

"Is there a hospital nearby that can do a checkup? Is there a hospital in town?"

"Yes, but these people don't even have an identity card, so they can't create a file at the hospital," Victoria said. "Even if they can, the nearest appointment can only be made for seven weeks... There are not so many doctors and midwives here, so we can only go to the city to find someone."
