Chapter 4412: Not Like Us Editor: Misty Cloud Translations Because Yue’er’s blisters on her feet had not yet healed, the Old Village Chief had said that they would have a donkey cart to take them to the town in a few days. Hence, the three children stayed on for a few more days. The people in the village were simple and honest, and as they saw that the three children were smart and delicate-looking, they treated them well and gave the children some of whatever food they had at home. That day, the two grandchildren of the village chief came to Hao’er’s house with a few eggs in their hands: “Yue’er, we’ve brought you some food.” Chen’er opened the door, his eyes falling on the eggs in their hands. Yue’er peeked around from behind him, her eyes smiling when she saw the two boys. “Here, these are the eggs that Grandma just cooked. We brought you some.” The two children handed them the eggs in their hands and asked, “Do you want to go out and play with us?” Muchen and Yue’er took them, said thank you, and shook their heads in unison: “No.” Hearing this, the two children were a little surprised and said, ” You don’t go out every day, just staying in the room like this is not good. Children should go out and play more.” “Hee hee, no, Yue’er and Brother want to study, so we’re not going to play.” The little doll smiled with twinkling eyes and said to the two, “Big Brother, Little Brother, you go play, we’re going back in.” “Alright then!” The two children saw that they weren’t going out to play, so they didn’t say anything more, gave them the eggs and left. Seeing them leave, Muchen and Muyue glanced at each other, then closed the door and went back to their room. After setting the eggs aside, they sat cross-legged on the bed to practice, just like their Big Brother. Their Big Brother had said that even if there were no immortals here, they still had to practice every day to improve their strength and protect themselves. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢 Tomorrow, the people in the village would go to the town, and they would follow them to find their way home. Thinking about what their Brother had told them, that if their spirit energy became stronger, they might be able to break the seal on their chests one day, they dared not slack off and obediently continued to practise. Outside, the Old Village Chief and his wife were sitting in front of the door, picking vegetables and chatting idly. “Old man, you see how the three children never go out of the house. What do you think they’re doing in there? They’re so young, how can they possibly stay in their room?” The Old Village Chief took a drag on his water pipe and glanced back at the backyard. “These three children, they’re not like ordinary children. They’re so well-behaved and sensible that it makes you feel sad for them.” “Exactly. How could three such sensible children get separated from their family? And it happened in such a remote place as ours. It just sounds so strange.” “Ha ha ha,” the Old Village Chief chuckled, “Who knows what’s going on? But, I guess the three kids are only telling half the truth, not the whole truth. But, these days I’ve been thinking, what exactly is this Phoenix Empire? I really haven’t heard of such a place.” “So, are you really letting the three of them go to town tomorrow? They’re so young, it’s easy for them to get into trouble out there,” the old woman was a little worried. “We can’t keep them here forever, can we? They have to go sometime. They’re not like us.” The Old Village Chief took a drag on his waterpipe and let out a gentle puff of smoke. —
