Chapter 56: Strange Phenomenon "Yeah. Actually, later on, the days when I depended on my mother were still very happy." Yan Moying continued. "I have never experienced what it feels like to be with my parents. Sometimes I want to know what the differences are between them and other people..." Yin Ruchen said. "Oh... Actually... There's no difference. Parents, Master, and fellow disciples are all the same." Yan Moying knew that his parents were irreplaceable, but he still said it because he didn't want Yin Ruchen to realize how wonderful the family love she had never experienced was. He suddenly regretted it and felt that he shouldn't have talked about the happy memory of his parents in front of Yin Ruchen, who had never known who his parents were since childhood. But when he said it just now, he was just in the mood and didn't think so much. The reason why he didn't want Yin Ruchen to understand the warmth of family love was because he felt that if a person didn't know that something she had never encountered was beautiful, it would be nothing; if she understood it, it might become a misfortune. Chapter 21 The next morning, they came out of the inn and continued on their journey back. When passing by a field, Yin Ruchen saw that the crops in the field were growing very well and thought that there should be a good harvest. Unexpectedly, hail suddenly fell from the sky, smashing some crops to pieces. "Mo Ying, the sky was clear just now, how come it suddenly started to hail? The weather is too abnormal!" Yin Ruchen said in surprise. "How could such a strange thing happen?" Yan Moying asked curiously. Soon, the owners of the crops came out one after another, and were extremely distressed when they saw this situation.
An old man knelt in the hail and burst into tears, and the others also had heart-wrenching expressions. "Is this the beginning of the disaster?" the old man shouted. "Is it true?!" the people around him said worriedly. "What a disaster! How are we going to survive?!" "We are all ordinary people who live honestly. What have we done wrong?" The owners of the crops asked worriedly. Suddenly, a peasant woman fainted on the ground. Yin Ruchen woke her up and sent her back home with Yan Moying. Yin Ruchen and Yan Moying comforted the peasant woman and her family. The peasant woman said: "What we are afraid of is not how much crops we will lose this time, but how long this disaster will last!" "A catastrophe?" "Yes! Not long ago, a prophet who is proficient in witchcraft said that there will be a disaster here, and it will start with a hailstorm. No one knows how long this disaster will last... The disaster we are experiencing here is just a small part of the catastrophe in Jingyin Country. We don't know what it will be like in other places!" said the peasant woman. After Yin Ruchen and Yan Moying came out, they found that the hail had stopped. When they looked up, they saw that the sun was shining brightly in the sky! Both of them were surprised. They walked for a long time and passed many places without seeing anything unusual until they passed a small town. They found that many people in the town were listless. There were a few people queuing in front of the drugstore, and they all looked unwell. "What's wrong with the people in town?" Yan Moying casually asked a middle-aged man in a black robe who was queuing. "I'm not feeling well. I've consulted many doctors but none of them could diagnose the disease. Some doctors themselves have suffered from the disease. We came here to get some medicine. We don't seek a cure, but just want to replenish our bodies and see if we can perk up our spirits a little..." the middle-aged man replied. (End of this chapter)
