Chapter 221 I Can't Believe
In the blink of an eye, it was already the third day, and Gouwa's belly looked no different from that of a normal child, because the smaller belly made him look thinner. Gouwa could roughly understand some stories, including the textbooks written by Huo Guang himself.

Gouwa was afraid that Huo Guang would go away, so he took the knowledge away with him, but Huo Guang told Gouwa many times that he could take anything away, except the knowledge that had entered his head, which no one could take away, because once If you learn to be your own thing, it will not change with the change of time and space. If you want to make yourself stronger, there are still many things to learn. The most profound knowledge is not taught by the teacher, but realized by yourself.

Gouwa seemed to understand but didn't understand. He kept Mr. Huo's words in his heart, but he didn't understand it that way. He only knew that he still had a long way to learn.

Wang Yi had nothing to do during the day, so he renovated Ye's mother and son's house. The dilapidated building that could barely be called a shed is now in good shape. This is the only thing Wang Yi thinks he can do for Ye's mother and son.

Early in the morning, the sun had just climbed the horizon, and Mrs. Ye had already gotten up to make scallion pancakes. Everyone has been obsessed with scallion pancakes these days. In order to make Mrs. Ye practice perfect, Huo Guang asked Mrs. Ye to make them these few times. He didn't intervene. Fortunately, Mrs. Ye's comprehension ability is very strong.

Huo Guang knew that the patriarch's surname was Liu, and his name was Liu Meng. He was the head of Liujia Village and also the patriarch, so everyone respected him very much. No one dared to resist his orders. No one stopped the matter, and those villagers obviously didn't want to drown Gouwa, but they would do so.

Seeing her son getting better day by day, Mrs. Ye was happy, but the frowning did not dissipate, because what should come will always come, just like a disaster, you can't hide it, just as she guessed, Sure enough, just after clearing away the dishes, there was a noisy sound from outside. From the sound, it could be heard that it was not just one person.

Wang Yi looked at Huo Guang. It was obvious that Liu Meng not only brought two subordinates this time, but it must be because of Wang Yi's loss last time, so he summed up his experience and brought as many people as possible. Anyway, there are many people. angry.

Huo Guang curled his lips, he didn't take Liu Meng seriously at all, Gouwa's stomach was healed, he had already completed the most important task, it didn't matter how much trouble Liu Meng wanted to make, it was better for him to keep his promise, if he didn't Promise, Huo Guang naturally has a way to deal with him.

As soon as Liu Meng entered the yard, he was stunned by the house in front of him. He didn't know about Ye's house, it couldn't be called a house, it could barely cover the wind, it couldn't be a strong wind, and it couldn't be a rain. Heavy rain generally means heavy rain outside, moderate rain inside, and moderate rain outside and light rain inside.

If everyone knew that Ye's original house was here, he must have thought he had gone to the wrong place. Although it was still the same type of house as before, the windows that were barely covered with cloth and the dilapidated roof were all gone.

Now this house is undoubtedly the same as other houses in the village, but it is better. Could it be that these two foreigners refurbished Ye's house in three days, Liu Meng couldn't help but gasp.

He originally didn't believe that the noble-looking handsome boy could cure Gouwa's stomach, something unheard of with parasites, that is, those aristocratic sons could believe this kind of rhetoric. Whether the harvest will be good this year depends on the sacrifice of Gouwa. In fact, whether the enlarged belly is due to being cursed is not important to Liu Meng at all.

It doesn't matter whether Gouwa eats the sacrifice or not, because the most important sacrifice is Gouwa himself. He has long heard that if the boy is given as a sacrifice to the God of Valley, he can get a good harvest this year. It is difficult for the children in the family to do it. Only Gouwa's family, Ye Shi is alone and a widow. This is much easier to do, and Gouwa's belly has become bigger. Fan.

Gouwa is a good boy, the villagers all like him, and Yeh is low-key and kind-hearted, the mother and son are very popular in the village. When Liu Meng first proposed this idea, the villagers were a little hesitant and unwilling to cooperate. However, a locust plague just happened not long ago. Although the scale is small and cannot be compared with last year, it is enough to scare the villagers who depend on the sky for food. Those who originally opposed it are now acquiescing. In the team that drowned Gouwa.

Gouwa could have been drowned last time, but two people he couldn't afford to kill were killed halfway, so he had no choice but to extend it for three days.However, he believes that these three days are of no use to Gou Wa. As long as the villagers see that Gou Wa's belly is still so big, they will work with him to complete the things that they did not finish three days ago.

So he worked hard to mobilize everyone to watch this scene together, just to let the two people whose origins are unknown can have nothing to say.After all, there is strength in numbers.

But what he didn't expect was that he was taken aback just by coming to the door. He thought that such a noble young man would just come out to play for a while. On the surface, he was a hero, but in fact he didn't do much. He just pretended to show how beautiful he was and protected the weak. But the house in front of her has a completely new look. It is absolutely impossible for Mrs. Ye and Gou Wa to build it, and it is even more impossible for Mrs. Ye to find someone to do it. If she has the money to find someone to do it, she will not do it now. There is only one possibility , It was these two people who helped.

Not only Liu Meng, but also the subordinates behind him and the other villagers summoned by Liu Meng were also taken aback. They couldn't help but slightly widened their eyes and opened their mouths, unable to believe what they saw.

"Is this Gouwa's home?"

"It seems so, his family lives here, and there is no other house?"

"Let's not go any further, let's see if the patriarch can go."

The villagers were talking behind each other, you looked at me, I looked at you, they all stopped and did not move forward.

After the patriarch glanced, the villagers who had followed him just now had stopped. His heart sank, and he was just about to show his displeasure and let them follow, but the people walking out of the house interrupted his thoughts.

"Patriarch, are you here?"

The person who spoke was none other than Mrs. Ye, but the Mrs. Ye at this moment was different from three days ago, and Liu Meng didn't know what was different.

He hadn't figured out why the Ye family had changed, and what he saw next surprised him even more.

I saw Gouwa walking out with his mother, and the swollen belly three days ago was gone. If it wasn't for Gouwa's face, it was still as thin as before, and it was impossible to tell from the figure that this was the child three days ago.

"Look, look quickly, Gouwa, where's Gouwa's belly?" A villager shouted loudly from behind.
