Chapter 545 - Right And Wrong

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

Xiao Yu hugged Jiang Lan and cried for a long time before stopping.

She no longer felt wronged. She looked at Jiang Lan and said.

“Darling, it’s all your fault.” Xiao Yu kicked Jiang Lan and said.

“You made so many scales appear on my body.”

“It’s my fault.” Jiang Lan nodded.

“En, it’s good that you admit your mistake.” Xiao Yu reached out and patted Jiang Lan’s head.

Then, she opened the luggage one by one and placed the items in it back in her original place.

“You’re not moving?” Jiang Lan asked.

“No.” Xiao Yu turned to look at Jiang Lan stubbornly.

“Not moving.”

“It will be very bitter.” Jiang Lan came to Xiao Yu’s side and caressed her head.

She had to endure suspicion, discrimination, and difficulty in being accepted.

It was the suffering of life and the suffering of the human heart.

She had to endure all of them.

What normally made a person break down was usually just a gaze or a sentence.

“I’m not the only one suffering.” Xiao Yu pouted at Jiang Lan.

Jiang Lan shook his head slightly and said gently.

“I’m not bitter. The village can’t bring me any suffering. My suffering originates from yours.”

Pa!

Xiao Yu stood up and patted Jiang Lan’s face.

“I’m not moving.”

Jiang Lan smiled and caressed Xiao Yu’s face.

“I’ll listen to my wife this time.”

Xiao Yu hugged Jiang Lan tightly.

No matter how bitter the mortal world was, she would not feel bitter. Her heart had always been sweet.

…

In the morning, Xiao Yu blew the scales on her arm and did not dare to go out.

“I’ll be back in the afternoon. If you want to wash your clothes, I’ll accompany you.” Jiang Lan held his bow and said to Xiao Yu.

The thoughts of others could not be changed. From the day one was born to the day one died, one might not change one’s own opinions.

There were thousands of ways to differentiate between right and wrong. But if you think that the other party was wrong, you would just want to exert your own thoughts onto the other party.

One would never consider if he himself was wrong. This was a human’s mind.

No one could escape from this circle.

The more ignorant one was, the more they believed in their own understanding and the more fearless and confident they were.

Jiang Lan wanted to feel confident that he was right, but… when had he ever jumped out of the fog of the mortal world?

This was a lock that had locked his foresight.

“It seems a little early today.” Xiao Yu dressed and came to Jiang Lan’s side to send him out.

“En, come back as soon as possible.” Jiang Lan touched the scales under Xiao Yu’s sleeve and said.

“There’s nothing bad about it.”

“Darling, you have already been bewitched by the demons. Your thoughts are distorted.” Xiao Yu snorted coldly before waving goodbye to Jiang Lan.

Jiang Lan carried his bow and walked towards Liu Dazhu’s house. He knocked lightly on the door.

Creak!

The door opened. It was Liu Dazhu.

“Little Brother Jiang, so early?”

It was still early.

“Sorry for troubling Big Brother Liu. I wanted to discuss something with Big Brother this time,” Jiang Lan said softly.

“Go ahead.” Liu Dazhu naturally sensed it as well.

Previously, there was nothing much in the team and he could suppress it.

However, for some reason, Er Zhu had been standing on their side for the past two days.

The conflict between them suddenly became much bigger. Jiang Lan explained a few times, but it was useless.

He was even ostracized and mocked. It was as if they wanted Jiang Lan to move out of the village with his wife as soon as possible.

All this time, Liu Dazhu didn’t feel any expression on Jiang Lan’s face. He thought that he was forced to stay for the winter.

He naturally tried his best to help.

He did not know what would happen next.

Especially since Jiang Lan seemed to have his own thoughts today, he didn’t know where to go.

He was also a stubborn person and always felt that this couple did not have any bad intentions.

“Because my existence seems to have brought a lot of trouble to the hunting team, so I want to enter the mountain alone from today onwards.

Thank you for taking care of me these days, Big Brother Liu.” Jiang Lan lowered his head in thanks.

He could sense Liu Dazhu’s help. Even when the news that Xiao Yu was a demon spread, he did not change his mind.

Therefore, he needed to let him know that he was leaving the hunting team.

After he left, he could end his hunt whenever he wanted and accompany Xiao Yu out.

It could not change other people’s thoughts, but it could make Xiao Yu feel much more relaxed.

“That’s not good.” Liu Dazhu was silent for a while before saying.

“How about this? Do you believe in me?”

“Of course.” Jiang Lan nodded.

“Follow me to the village entrance later. I’ll tell everyone about it.

Don’t worry. It’s not about your wife.

We are all from the same village. You can’t just say that you want to hunt alone and go ahead. It will break the relationship and you will lose help.

Although it’s not easy for you now, but what if the misunderstanding is resolved one day? You have to consider the future.

Going alone will create a barrier between you and the rest, separating you from the village.”

Jiang Lan lowered his eyebrows in silence. In the end, he said gratefully.

“I’ll listen to Brother Liu.”

After a while.

Jiang Lan and Liu Dazhu waited at the village entrance.

The others arrived one by one. When they saw Jiang Lan, they didn’t say anything and didn’t have any good expressions.

When everyone arrived, Liu Dazhu said.

“Everyone’s here, right? I want to say something.”

The others were a bit surprised. What was he going to say?

Was he going to say something nice again to stop them from talking?

At the thought of this, everyone ignored him and was unhappy.

They didn’t say it too harshly. So what if the other party couldn’t stand it and moved away?

Was it bad?

“What does Big Brother intend to say?” Liu Erzhu asked.

“Everyone knows that it’s not easy this winter. We haven’t gained much recently, so we need to think of a way.” Liu Dazhu’s rough voice sounded.

The others were surprised. So he was talking about this matter?

Then, they became livelier.

“Recently, the wild beasts are about to enter winter as well. There’s nothing we can do if our harvest isn’t good. Brother Liu, do you have any ideas?” Someone immediately asked.

“That’s right. It happens every year. The winter is really tough,” someone echoed.

“Therefore, I plan to split up.” Liu Dazhu looked at Liu Erzhu and the others.

“One team will go to the east, while the other will go to the west.

Er Zhu and I will lead a team each. If we encounter any big beasts, we will inform the other party and deal with them together.

This way, the chances of catching prey will be much higher.”

“Brother, what do you plan to do?” Liu Erzhu wanted to know the details.

He seemed surprised.

The others felt the same. It felt good and bad.

For a moment, they couldn’t say anything.

“I will go to the west with Little Brother Jiang and the lad from the Yang Family. The rest of you will follow Er Zhu to the east.

If there are other situations, we will act together.

Although it’s a little inconvenient, let’s survive through the winter first,” said Liu Dazhu.

The others fell silent.

But they couldn’t say anything else at the moment. They could only follow.

This plan was good as well. They did not need to stay with Jiang Lan and no one would stop them from badmouthing him.

In the end, the villagers split into two teams.

One team was led by Liu Erzhu, while the other was led by Liu Dazhu.

Jiang Lan looked at Liu Dazhu’s actions and didn’t know what to say.

The Yang Family youth walked up to Jiang Lan, a bit embarrassed.

He lowered his head and said apologetically.

“S… Sorry.”

…

…

Xiao Yu looked at the sky. It was already noon.

It was time for her husband to return.

She had prepared the clothes. When her husband returned, they would go to the river together.

In the courtyard, she took out some firewood and planned to chop some of them.

Her husband was the one doing all the heavy work. She could actually do it, but he did not allow her to do so.

Crack!

Bang!

After two or three strikes, the firewood was split open by her.

It was quite interesting.

Just as she was about to continue, a few children came in from the fence.

It was Liu Xiaohu and the other two.

“Aunt Jiang,” Liu Xiaoxiao and Lin Sisi called out softly.

They seemed to be worried that others would hear them.

Xiao Yu was a little surprised when she saw them. She immediately went over to help them in case they were injured.

“This is very dangerous.” When the three of them entered, Xiao Yu warned them that this wouldn’t do.

“Aunt Jiang, Mother said that you are a demon. Is that true?” Liu Xiaohu looked at Xiao Yu and asked.

Hearing this question, Xiao Yu lowered her head and did not know how to answer.

“Aunt Jiang, do you eat children?” Lin Sisi asked again.

“No, why would I eat children?” Xiao Yu answered in a panic.

“But Mother said that demons eat children when they are hungry, thirsty or bored.” Liu Dahu looked at Xiao Yu and repeated his mother’s words.

Xiao Yu opened her mouth, not knowing how to explain to the child.

“Aunt Jiang, extend your hand,” Liu Xiaoxiao suddenly said.

Xiao Yu was puzzled, but she still extended her hand.

At this moment, Liu Xiaoxiao took out a wrapped candy from her pocket and placed it gently in Xiao Yu’s hand.

“If Aunt Jiang is hungry, eat some candies.”

Lin Sisi placed a fruit in Xiao Yu’s hand and said.

“If you’re thirsty, eat some fruits.”

Liu Dahu took out the small wooden horse that he had kept for many years. Xiao Yu immediately stretched out her other hand to catch it. At this moment, Liu Dahu’s voice could be heard.

“If you’re bored, you can play with toys. That way, Aunt Jiang won’t eat us. Mother can also let us come over without worry.”

Xiao Yu looked at the items in her hand and then at the three naive children in front of her.

Her nose turned sour again.

“Then, I’ll accept it. Next time, I’ll bring you guys something delicious.” Xiao Yu smiled as she held the three items.

The three children glanced at each other and high-fived to celebrate.

They just didn’t dare to laugh loudly.

“Aunt Jiang, Aunt Jiang, are all demons as good-looking and nice as you?

The next time I see them, can I go over and play with them? “Liu Xiaoxiao asked curiously.

“No.” Xiao Yu immediately shook her head.

“Don’t approach the demons. If you see them, run back immediately.

Don’t get discovered.”

“But Aunt Jiang treats us so well. Won’t the other demons be like Aunt Jiang?” Lin Sisi was also curious.

“No, other demons eat humans. You must not approach…” Xiao Yu suddenly froze.

For a moment, she understood Sister-in-law Liu’s thoughts.

“I see.”

She was the only one who knew that she did not eat humans. She herself even knew that the other demons ate humans. Even if she did not eat humans, their mothers could not gamble with her child.

It was impossible for children to tell the difference between good and bad demons, so staying away was the best and most suitable.

At this moment, she understood.

…

…

Jiang Lan and the others returned earlier. This time, their luck was good and they had gained quite a bit.

The three of them did not share everything themselves. They only split out a small portion for their own use.

Liu Dazhu gave the rest to the others.

Jiang Lan had no objections and walked home. When he passed Liu Dazhu’s house, he saw his wife reprimanding the two children.

She had even used a stick to hit the children’s butt.

“What did Liu Dahu do again?”

Jiang Lan was puzzled but didn’t stop. He returned home.

Xiao Yu sat in the room happily.

“What’s wrong today?” He asked.

“Darling, I finally understand.” Xiao Yu ran up to Jiang Lan and said excitedly.

“What do you understand?” Jiang Lan asked.

“I understand why others are afraid of me, and I also understand what they are afraid of.

Everyone has their own thoughts and understanding. It is not something that can be changed just because someone said something.

I can’t apply my own understanding of myself to their understanding.

During this process, they felt that I was wrong and I felt that they were wrong.

Thousands of people have thousands of thoughts, and most of them stem from fear and reverence towards the unknown.

At first, I couldn’t understand it no matter how hard I thought about it. But when Xiaoxiao and the rest asked if they could play with other demons, I instantly understood.” Xiao Yu was a little excited.

Jiang Lan looked at Xiao Yu and caressed her head without saying a word.

Some people wanted to use the scriptures to understand the great Dao, while others wanted to understand the truths of the great Dao from the books, but they all could not.

They did not know that the great Dao path might be beside them, in the ordinary mortal world.

What was the use of having ten million chapters of the Pill Scripture? If a person did not do it right, they would not even discover that the Dao Immortal Realm was right in front of them.

“Then what should we do next?” Jiang Lan asked.

“No.” Xiao Yu smiled.

“Although I understand, I have no idea how to do it.

Oh yes, this is for you. ”

A piece of candy landed in Jiang Lan’s hand.

He felt that the paper wrap was a little dirty, but he still opened it and placed it in his mouth.

However, just as he put it to his mouth, Xiao Yu opened her mouth. “Ah!”

Jiang Lan: “…”

Finally, he placed the candy in Xiao Yu’s mouth.

“This is from Xiaoxiao,” Xiao Yu said happily.

So this was why they were being scolded. Jiang Lan understood.

Time passed day by day.

Today, Xiao Yu looked at Jiang Lan’s ruined clothes and planned to sew them up. However, she didn’t know how to do it.

She took her clothes and took a deep breath.

She arrived at Sister-in-law Liu’s house and knocked on the door lightly.

Dong dong!

“Coming.” A voice rang out from within.

Creak!

The door opened.

However, when she saw Xiao Yu, she was shocked.

Bang!

Just as Xiao Yu was about to speak, the door closed.

“Sister-in-law Liu, I… I don’t mean anything else. It’s just that my husband’s clothes are spoiled and I don’t know how to sew. Can you teach me?

It’s fine if you don’t open the door.”

“I won’t. You should go.”

“Sister-in-law Liu…”

“Please, just go.”

Xiao Yu lowered her eyebrows and turned around to leave.

She was thinking about who else she could ask for help from. She was the most familiar with Sister-in-law Liu in the village.

Not long after, a woman appeared.

Her clothes were not that rough and her body was a little thin, but she was quite beautiful.

Her delicate face seemed to let people know that she was a woman who had just gotten married.

At this moment, she was grabbing the corner of her clothes, feeling a little afraid and helpless.

It seemed to take all her courage to stand there.

“The lady from the Yang family?” Xiao Yu was surprised to see her.

At this moment, the young lady from the Yang family looked at Xiao Yu. She opened her mouth as though she was trying her best to speak.

After trying for a long time, she let her voice out.

“I—I will.”
