On how a fish can attack the villain of Infinity Disease
Chapter 18 The Child and the Monster
Yu Youyou frowned and walked around the house to watch the goats.
She remembered that her mother said that goats are the incarnation of demons in Norse mythology.
"Hello?" Yu Youyou tentatively greeted.
When the goat heard Yu Youyou's voice, he suddenly turned his head and ran to the other side, out of Yu Youyou's sight.
Yu Youyou stretched out his hand to hold the air, and froze in embarrassment.
At this moment, the door of the next resident was pushed open, and a young woman with braids walked out from inside.
Seeing Yu Youyou standing outside, she froze for a moment, and soon showed a soft smile to Youyou, and waved to Youyou.
Yu Youyou hurried over, and called out in a sweet voice, "Hello, sister."
When the woman saw Yu Youyou, the smile on her face widened, and she said to Yu Youyou through the fence:
"You are one of the young people who came to the village the day before yesterday."
"Yes, my name is Yu Youyou." Yu Youyou enthusiastically introduced himself to the woman.
"My name is Emma."
Emma was still holding a basket in her hand, and while talking to Yu Youyou, she bent down to pick up the eggs in the hen shed.
Yu Youyou stood on tiptoe and stretched her neck to watch Emma's movements curiously.
Emma turned her head and saw Yu Youyou poking her head, so she opened the door and let Yu Youyou in.
"What's the matter with you coming here?"
"Our captain asked me to ask about the flames in the forest." Yu Youyou didn't beat around the bush at all, and explained the purpose of coming.
Emma paused when she heard the flames of hell, and continued to pick up eggs.
Yu Youyou squatted down, put her hands in front of her, and looked at the egg curiously.
"Do you want to eat?" Emma picked up an egg and asked Yu Youyou.
A bright smile broke out on Yu Youyou's face, and she asked Emma excitedly, "Can I eat it?"
"Of course." Emma smiled, picked up the last egg, hugged the basket and led Yu Youyou into the house.
Emma boiled a few eggs in the pot, poured two more cups of goat milk, and handed Yu Youyou a cup.
Yu Youyou carefully held the cup and took a sip following Emma's example.
The goat's milk flowed into her throat, and Yu Youyou showed a happy expression on her face, sitting on the chair and shaking happily like a sunflower.
Emma also smiled when she saw the happy look of the visitor from afar.
With her plump figure and red hair, it looks like an oil painting.
"All I have to eat now is thanks to the village head."
"It used to be a very barren place. Plants could not grow in the land, water was scarce, and the seeds sown could not grow. Many people starved to death."
"But the village chief led everyone to discover fertile soil and water sources, which revived the barren land and allowed crops to grow from the ground."
"Including weeds, trees, flowers, it's all grown since then."
"We can raise chickens to eat eggs, and sheep to drink milk."
"The village chief is amazing!" Yu Youyou was not stingy with his praise.
Emma smiled unchanged and nodded.
"Of course, he's a hero to all the villagers."
"Does the village chief know how the fire in the forest ignites?" Yu Youyou asked Emma again without forgetting her purpose.
Emma paused, "The village chief is very old, and he may not remember many things clearly."
"Does that sister know?" Yu Youyou tilted her head and asked Emma obediently.
Seeing that Youyou was so obsessed with this question, Emma shook her head helplessly.
"Hellfire has been burning for decades, and I wasn't even born when it was burning."
"When I was young, I could only hear some stories by hearsay, but every adult said something different, and now I don't know what it is."
"What stories are there? I heard they said it was made by the church?"
For some reason, Emma stopped talking when she mentioned the church.
Yu Youyou held the cup, bit the rim, and looked at the silent Emma.
Just when the two of them were quiet, a hearty and sunny voice came from outside.
"Because there are monsters in the forest, the misbehaving child ran into the forest and was eaten by the monster. The child's resentment ignited the fire of hell!"
A young man walked up to Yu Youyou and made a cannibalistic gesture towards Yu Youyou, making Yu Youyou back up.
"Lyle, don't scare the little girl." Emma glared coquettishly at the young man she called Lyle.
Lyle came over and kissed Emma without hesitation in Yu Youyou's presence.
Yu Youyou watched their movements curiously.
Lyle just turned around, smiled and said to Youyou: "This sister is the daughter of the pope of the church you said. You asked her in front of her if she was made by the church?"
Yu Youyou opened his mouth and smiled embarrassedly.
"It's okay." Emma held Lyle's hand and sighed, "The fire of hell did start after the church came here, but I really don't know why."
"Then why did the church come to this place?" Yu Youyou continued to ask.
"Father ran around with his congregation in order to preach, and when he arrived outside this village, he felt this place..." Emma paused, glanced at Lyle, and continued.
"There was an evil smell, so they entered this village."
Yu Youyou hugged the goat's milk, looked at Emma's hesitation, and asked, "Are those monsters outside the village always there?"
"Yeah." Lyle, who was standing beside Emma, nodded, "But before the church came, those monsters pretended to be the dead relatives of the villagers, sneaked into the village and killed many villagers."
"The church caught those monsters and burned them clean."
Lyle sighed and looked at Emma: "The church is also kind."
"It's just that I didn't expect that this place has never been in and out. The church accidentally entered but could never go out again."
"After that, the fire of hell was ignited. And those monsters also dropped their human disguise and became what they are now."
"In order to protect this village, my father planted blessings outside to prevent monsters from entering the village." Emma continued what Lyle said.
"It's just that the villagers still believe that the church ignited the fire of hell and set the forest ablaze."
Emma looked sad.
"It's okay." Lyle kissed Emma's forehead, "The villagers are ignorant, they don't know who saved them."
Emma just showed a smile.
"That's all we know." Emma said to Youyou gently.
Yu Youyou nodded, slid down from the chair, lowered her head and stretched her hands into her bag to take out something, and walked in front of Emma.
Emma looked at Yu Youyou suspiciously.
Yu Youyou took out a handful of candy from her bag and put it in Emma's hand, smiling with crooked eyebrows.
"Thank you sister."
Emma stared at the colorful candies in her hand, froze for a moment, then smiled at Yu Youyou.
Yu Youyou carried her small bag and waved to Emma and Lyle.
"Then I'm leaving."
Emma quickly stopped Yu Youyou, turned around and walked to the kitchen, and took two hard-boiled eggs.
"Forgot to eat this."
She smiled and put the eggs in Yu Youyou's bag.
Yu Youyou stood obediently, watching Emma's movements.
"Take it home and eat it, don't let it cool down." Emma touched Yu Youyou's head and told her.
Yu Youyou nodded, touched the eggs in the bag, and walked out of the yard.
Young people have not experienced it, and the old people in the village should know about it.
She continued walking along the path.
After a while, they reached the other side of the village.
The style of the houses here is quite different from that of the villagers' houses.
A blue flag with an indiscernible expression hangs on the pointed house.
Yu Youyou continued walking until she reached the center of the street.
A magnificent church appeared in front of him, with a huge metal religious emblem hanging on the top of the church.
Exactly like the logo on the surrounding house flags.
The general appearance of the religious emblem is a whale, but it does not look like a whale when you look closely. A pair of huge black eyes are embedded in the face, gazing at the whole village from the church.
Yu Youyou stopped and stared at the teaching emblem for a long time.
After a while, she walked towards the church.
She remembered that her mother said that goats are the incarnation of demons in Norse mythology.
"Hello?" Yu Youyou tentatively greeted.
When the goat heard Yu Youyou's voice, he suddenly turned his head and ran to the other side, out of Yu Youyou's sight.
