The only thing they had to hide from was the fake Yu the Great and the group of people who followed him. They patrolled everywhere in the human settlements, and the brother and sister had to hide every time they patrolled there.
Such a life is definitely not interesting; it's just about keeping them alive.
Fortunately, there were two of them.
Xiao Gui found it hard to imagine how Xiao Yi lived alone before he came here.
No one talked to her, no one paid attention to her, everyone treated her like she was invisible, only the bald, strong man and Dayu would occasionally say a few words to her.
What loneliness, what despair!
Material poverty is secondary; the most important thing is spiritual loneliness.
As the sun sets, the brother and sister share the food they've earned that day.
Xiao Gui looked at Xiao Yi and suddenly said, "I won't leave you alone anymore."
Xiao Yi paused for a moment, then nodded vigorously: "Yes."
With Xiao Gui around, she no longer needs to act cute and pretend to be stupid.
She had no intention of fully accepting or rejecting her brother or her own bizarre background.
She just felt that living like this wasn't bad, at least it was much better than before.
-------------
The brother and sister were separated for a while when they were gathering herbs today.
Perhaps because he hadn't gathered herbs on his own for too long, Xiao Yi twisted his ankle while climbing the hill.
She collapsed to the ground in pain, but before she could cry out, Xiao Gui appeared.
He carried her on his back, holding the herbs, and walked down the mountain.
Xiao Yi asked, "How did you know...?"
Xiao Gui replied, "I have attached demonic energy to you."
Xiao Yi nodded and hugged him even tighter.
As they approached the human settlement, Xiao Yi suddenly said, "Brother..."
Xiao Gui stopped abruptly: "What did you call me?"
".......nothing."
Xiao Yi lowered his head and said softly, "I just want to ask if the herbs we picked are enough to exchange for our food."
-------------
Little Gui has a demonic aura, which greatly increases the efficiency of the brother and sister in gathering herbs.
Their living conditions gradually improved, and at least they no longer had to sleep in wooden barrels.
Today, the brother and sister were gathering herbs as usual. Xiao Yi, who was following behind Xiao Gui, suddenly felt dizzy.
My head suddenly started to throb.
At first, it was just a headache, but soon the pain flowed down the bloodstream and into every part of my body.
Her legs began to tremble, and her internal organs felt as if they were being churned together, burning with pain.
She crouched down, not wanting Xiao Gui to notice anything amiss.
But Xiao Gui sensed something, turned around and saw Xiao Yi squatting in place, so she quickly walked over and asked, "What's wrong?"
Xiao Yi shook his head, indicating that he was fine.
But she was having trouble walking.
She said, "Brother, you should go by yourself today."
-------------
Xiao Yi fell ill.
The task of picking medicinal herbs fell entirely on Xiao Gui's shoulders.
The ailing Xiao Yi needed more supplies and better food, so Xiao Gui spared no effort in using a large amount of demonic energy to gather medicinal herbs.
But the local medicinal herbs are always limited, and once he runs out of the nearby ones, he has to go to places further away.
With each trip, the time he spent out naturally increased; he would often leave at sunrise and return at sunset.
Xiao Yi opened his eyes and found himself surrounded by flowers.
When Xiao Gui saw that she was awake, she quickly came over and asked, "Are you feeling better?"
The air is filled with fragrance, and the colorful flowers catch the eye.
Xiao Yi nodded and smiled, "Yes, much better."
From that day on, there were different fresh flowers by Xiao Yi's bedside every day.
-------------
Xiao Yi woke up, and Xiao Gui sat beside her, telling her about the interesting things that happened while gathering herbs that day.
"The tiger was standing right next to the herbs. It wanted to have a match with me, but as soon as I revealed my true form, it ran away in fright!"
Xiao Yi listened, nodding and smiling from time to time, until Xiao Gui finished telling this part, at which point she stopped smiling.
"Don't do such dangerous things again," she said.
“I have demonic energy, what’s there to be afraid of? It’s just a tiger,” he replied.
She took a couple of weak breaths and continued, "Don't do anything dangerous."
He looked at her, his throat bobbed twice, and finally nodded, saying, "Okay."
-------------
Xiao Yi opened his eyes.
It was terrifyingly dark outside.
It was already evening, and Xiao Gui still hadn't returned.
She felt her head burning and her body aching more and more.
My throat is hoarse, and I can't make a sound.
Her consciousness became somewhat blurred, and she waved her hand in the air twice. Soon, someone grabbed her hand.
"I'm back, I'm back!" She heard Xiao Gui's excited and breathless voice.
She strained to open her eyes and look at him, wanting to tell him there was no need to rush, that she was alright.
But she just made a few "ah" sounds without saying anything.
-------------
Xiao Yi is so sick he's in terrible shape.
She couldn't eat or drink anything.
She was like a delicate flower, about to wither.
Xiao Gui looked at her and clenched her fists.
“I will go and beg him.”
He reached out and touched Xiao Yi's head, having made up his mind.
Xiao Yi shook his head and reached for Xiao Gui's hand.
She couldn't speak, she could only communicate with her eyes.
Xiao Gui understood what she meant, and that sadness welled up again.
"No, I must go."
He repeated, "I must go."
-------------
Xiao Yi watched him rush out.
She raised her hand, but didn't grab his clothes.
The delicate girl lay there with her eyes closed.
What she wanted to say was that this was already good enough; at least in her final moments, she wasn't alone.
she......
-------------
The scene is broken.
Yang Pingsheng opened his eyes.
This time, he became Yu the Great.
Chapter 742 A Broken Relationship
The raging floodwaters buried the bravery of generations.
Are the people who managed the floods back then the same people who are now?
Where have all the people from back then gone?
-------------
Inside the room, Yang Pingsheng opened his eyes. He had become Yu the Great. The fake Yu the Great sat beside him, and the two people sat opposite him. In front of them, a magical artifact slowly operated, revealing the surrounding terrain.
Yang Pingsheng dared not speak rashly because he had not figured out the situation. He remained silent for a long time, so the fake Yu the Great opposite him spoke first.
“Lord Yu, gentlemen, I have been patrolling in the name of Yu for so long and have not found anything unusual,” the fake Yu said. “I think my mission can end now.”
One of them looked at the person next to him and asked, "Boyi, I think this is enough. What do you think?"
The man named Boyi was somewhat unwilling and looked at Yang Pingsheng to ask, "There is indeed no problem, but Lord Yu, don't you have anything to say to us?"
"Alright, Boyi," the man interrupted him. "That's enough. We're here to assist Lord Yu in controlling the floods. The Tushan clan is eyeing us covetously, and the flood control project has been delayed. Let's not cause any more trouble for Lord Yu."
