Chapter 753: Honest Farm Girl x 1 Snake Demon with a Child (3)
"Sister Yan, come and take your medicine."
The woman walked in carefully with the boiled medicine, walked to the bed and sat down, then gently fed the bowl to Yu Yan's mouth and coaxed her gently: "Good child, drink it quickly, and I'll give you candy after you finish it."
Yu Yan obediently opened her mouth and drank the bitter potion, then said softly, "Thank you, Aunt Lin."
Hearing this, Aunt Lin was so surprised that she almost dropped the bowl in her hand.
She stared at Yu Yan with eyes wide open in disbelief. After a while, she came back to her senses and said excitedly: "Sister Yan, are you okay? You are not stupid anymore?"
Yu Yan smiled and nodded, "Okay, okay."
Aunt Lin was so excited that she danced with joy. She talked to herself and laughed happily.
Suddenly, she remembered something, hurriedly put down the bowl in her hand, and ran out with big strides.
Before long, the originally quiet house became lively and crowded with villagers who came to visit.
The village chief could not wait to walk to the bed and asked with concern: "Sister Yan, are you really not stupid anymore?"
"Village Chief, I'm really fine."
Yu Yan smiled and responded firmly to the village chief's question.
The village chief was so excited that tears welled up in his eyes. He said with great emotion: "That's great, you are finally well. It seems that your parents in heaven are blessing you!"
"That's right. Sister Yan has been missing for the past few days and we were so worried. This morning, she was found covered in blood. Who would have thought that she would be fine? It's a blessing in disguise!"
Aunt Lin nodded in agreement seriously, unable to hide the joy on her face.
The other villagers were also talking one after another, and some asked Yu Yan if she remembered what to call them.
Yu Yan knew that these villagers had no ill intentions and were very nice to her, so she opened her mouth and called them one by one.
Calling them uncle, uncle, grandma and the like makes people smile.
In the end, Aunt Lin couldn't stand it anymore and drove everyone away.

One morning half a month later, Yu Yan was finally allowed to get out of bed.
Because she returned to the village covered in blood half a month ago, the villagers were all scared.
Even though she repeatedly stressed that she was fine, she was still forced by everyone to stay in bed and rest for a full half month.
During this half month, the village chief and village elders visited her many times and asked about her plans for the future.
They said they could allocate some land from the tribe to her for her to grow food, so that she would have fixed assets and would not have to worry about finding a man willing to marry her.
However, Yu Yan politely declined the proposal and only hoped to get a small piece of land not far from her home to grow some vegetables.
Yu Yan has her own ideas about livelihood.
She believed that her hunting skills were enough to make a living, and that there were abundant wild animal resources in the mountains so she would never have to worry about prey.
After all, the original owner's mother was a famous hunter in the village, and she left behind a lot of hunting tools!
The village chief had no objection to Yu Yan's decision to make a living by hunting.
But he still hoped that Yu Yan could take over those pieces of land. That way, even if Yu Yan couldn't hunt for prey and couldn't make money, he wouldn't have to worry about having no food to eat.
The village chief also said that it didn’t matter if Yu Yan didn’t know how to farm, she could just learn it slowly.
They helped take care of it in the first few years, but when Yu Yan learned everything, they stopped helping.
Faced with the good intentions of the village chief and several elders, Yu Yan could only nod and agree.
After all, they were doing this entirely for her sake, and if they kept refusing, it would hurt their relationship.
Besides, being a farm girl and doing some work is not a bad idea.
She has never worked in the fields properly before! Just treat it as learning a new skill.
So, just like that, Yu Yan got three good paddy fields and two vegetable plots.
One vegetable plot is close to the house, and the other is near the foot of the mountain.

On Qingyun Mountain, the sunlight shines through the dense leaves, casting mottled shadows, creating a vibrant scene.
Suddenly, there was a rustling sound in the grass, and a huge green snake slid past at an astonishing speed, like a green lightning.
It meanders forward with a clear purpose towards a waterfall.
The big snake came to the waterfall and stopped.
It twisted its body and slid carefully into the water, as naturally and smoothly as if it had merged with the water.
As it sank to the bottom of the water, slight ripples appeared on the surface, but it soon returned to calm.
Time passed minute by minute. After an unknown amount of time, there was movement on the water again. A man in emerald green clothes emerged from the water.
The man had a pale complexion, delicate features, and long black hair that stuck to his body wetly.
In his hand he held tightly a stone-sized pearl that emitted a soft glow, as if he were holding the most precious treasure in the world.
However, just as the man was about to go ashore, the water began to surge again and another figure emerged from the water.
This man also had a handsome face, with a small white pearl dotted between his eyebrows, and his eyes revealed anger and dissatisfaction.
His eyes widened as he stared at the green-dressed man on the shore. His voice was low and stern: "Mo Xiao, are you addicted to taking my pearls? You come here every now and then to take them. You've almost taken all my pearls."
Mo Xiao's face flashed with embarrassment, but then he showed a flattering smile and quickly explained: "Yuzhen, don't be angry! I'm going down the mountain to visit my brother, and I need some gifts. Anyway, these pearls are of no use to you, why not give them to me!"
As he spoke, he raised the pearl in his hand and gestured to Yuzhen.
Alas... he was really too poor, so he could only go to Yuzhen to get the pearls.
Yuzhen looked at the pearl in Mo Xiao's hand. Although she felt a little reluctant and helpless, she couldn't help but sigh.
"Never mind, never mind. Just take them. But if you come to take them again next time, don't blame me for turning my back on you. I originally kept these pearls for facial mask. If you take one, my fair and translucent skin will become a little duller."
Hearing this, Mo Xiao couldn't help but mutter, "What a waste! These pearls are worth a lot of money, enough for me to buy many things I want."
Yuzhen rolled her eyes at him and said unhappily, "I'm not like you, who only thinks about going down the mountain to play all day long."
After he finished speaking, he suddenly remembered something and asked curiously, "Let me ask you, are you really planning to marry a mortal?"
"Yes, that's exactly what I meant."
Mo Xiao nodded in acknowledgement without hesitation.
In the past few days, he has been looking for a suitable candidate, but unfortunately he has not found a satisfactory candidate yet.
But he had a hunch that he would be able to find it if he went down the mountain today.
Seeing him like this, Yu Zhen couldn't help but persuade him, "Humans and demons are on different paths. You won't end well if you stay with a mortal."
Mo Xiao retorted unconvincedly: "No way, it's written in the storybook that most of those who married and had children with mortals lived happily."
Yuzhen: “…”
This idiot, his brain must have been confused by those storybooks!
Forget it, forget it. Good words cannot persuade a damned ghost. Just let him be!

After entering the city, Mo Xiao went into a pawnshop as if he was familiar with the place. Not long after, he came out with a bag of silver in his hand and a smile on his face.
He had not walked a few steps when he smelled a strong fragrance. Looking up, he found that he had arrived at the door of a restaurant. The waiter was serving a plate of roast chicken to the customers!
As soon as I walked into the store, another waiter came up to me and asked, "Sir, how many people are there? Do you want to sit in a private room or in the lobby?"
Mo Xiao: "One person, the hall is fine."
The waiter said: "Okay, young master, please come this way."
Mo Xiao sat down following the waiter's instructions, and when he looked up he saw the woman coming in from the back kitchen.
She was wearing a coarse linen dress, her hair was tied up high, and she was carrying a large backpack in her hands, dressed like a typical farm girl.
When Mo Xiao saw her face, he was stunned and his heart was pounding.
At this moment, he was absolutely certain that he had found the person he wanted to spend his life with.
