Chapter 339 Men are not born with the ability to have children
Gu Xi's brows were filled with anger, and he said:
"What's wrong with the Saintess of your Southern Border? How could you make such an inhumane rule? It's simply ridiculous!"
The village elder's expression changed, and he quickly stopped Gu Xi and said:
"Fairy, you must not say that. Even a saint will die when she reaches the age of sixty."
Gu Xi said:
"No, village chief, this rule is wrong. It's too inhumane. What do you mean by starving for a few days and dying cleanly?"
Gu Xi was afraid that she would do something stupid, so he said:
"Let me tell you, the underworld hates starving ghosts the most, so the Han Chinese have a saying that it is better to be a ghost who dies of overeating than a soul who dies of starvation."
The village elder's expression froze.
"Can't you?"
Gu Xi nodded affirmatively:
"I am a deity, of course I know about ghosts and gods."
The village chief was silent.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Gu Xi intuitively felt that she had something else to say, so he looked into her eyes and silently said: Use mind reading.
The voice of the village elders:
"What the fairy said may be true, but the people of Southern Xinjiang only know that it is a blessing from God to die cleanly at the age of 60. Little do they know that it is because of the shortage of food in Southern Xinjiang that the elderly can no longer work and can only waste food. It is better for them to die early and leave more food for their descendants."
Gu Xi frowned.
No wonder the village old man is so thin. When he was eating just now, he was reluctant to eat even a bite of meat, and said that he was old and had bad teeth.
It was to leave food for the young people.
The deep love that the people of southern Xinjiang have for their offspring cannot be matched by those child slaves of today!
Gu Xi's eyes were moist.
"Village elder, I came here to save the people. Don't worry, I will soon be able to make sure that all the people in Southern Xinjiang are well fed and clothed. For example, we have meat, vegetables and white rice for every meal, so much that we can't finish them all. You don't have to leave home and starve to death just to save food."
The village chief looked at Gu Xi in shock. She didn't say that she was returning to save food. How did the fairy know that?
Could it be that the gods could even know what mortals were thinking?
Gu Xi held the village elder's hand and said:
"Just live well, old man. You will definitely live to be a hundred years old!"
After saying that, Gu Xi waved his hand, and a large pile of food appeared on the open space next to him.
"Village elder, this food is enough for more than a hundred people in your village to eat for a year. I will come to see you next year. If you are alive and well, I will send food to the village. If you are gone, or if other elders die of starvation, then I will not care about you descendants."
The village elder looked at the mountain of food and was so excited that she wanted to kneel down to Gu Xi again. Gu Xi hurriedly supported her and said:
"Living well is the best reward for me."
When the villagers saw so much food appear out of nowhere, they were so excited that they cried.
The gods have come to save southern Xinjiang, and the people of southern Xinjiang have a way to survive.
The village elder took a deep breath, calmed down, and after a mental struggle, he said:
"Fairy, you said you want to find the Saint, right? Over the three hills ahead is the Pilgrimage City, where the Saint's Palace is."
Because the journey was long, few people in the village had been to the pilgrimage city, but as the village elder, she had been there several times.
"I wanted to lead the way for the fairy, but unfortunately I am old and my legs are not in good condition. Tomorrow I will ask a few young girls in the village to accompany the saint."
The Saint is the god of the people of Southern Xinjiang, but the fairy in front of them is also their god who came to save them, so this should not be considered a betrayal of the Saint.
Gu Xi said:
"Thank you for the information, village chief. You don't need to accompany us. We can fly over."
"Yes, yes, I almost forgot, fairies can fly."
Gu Xi thought for a moment and asked again:
"Village leader, this plague is not limited to your village, right?"
The village elder nodded. In fact, she had always wanted to say that there were similar sick people in other nearby villages, but she was afraid that the fairy would think she was greedy, so she didn't dare to speak up.
"Yes, fairy. For some reason this year, there was an earthquake first, and then mud and rocks destroyed countless villages. Our village was lucky because only three people were killed in the earthquake, and the mud and rocks did not reach our village."
"My son married and moved to the village next door. He came back a few days ago and said that the village was hit by a mudslide and half of the people died. Many children in the village also had fever and were sick."
It seems that because too many people died in the natural disaster, the people here certainly didn't know how to disinfect, which led to the spread of the virus.
Gu Xi was anxious to find the Saint, and it was not good to delay here any longer. She took out a few boxes of medicine from the space and said:
"Do you have a doctor here?"
The village elder said:
"Only the Pilgrimage City has doctors. There are none in our village. I am considered a half-witch doctor, but I can't compare to the fairies. I can only make some herbs to treat injuries."
Well, we can only do our best and leave the rest to fate.
Gu Xi prepared two kinds of medicine in total, one was an antipyretic and the other was an antiviral. She explained to the village elder in detail how to take them.
The village chief was very grateful. As the mountain roads were difficult to travel on at night, she would arrange for the women in the village to deliver medicine to the surrounding villages early tomorrow morning.
Gu Xi also learned from the village elder that women are indeed superior to men in southern Xinjiang. When men grow up, they have to get married and they must bring silver items as a dowry to the woman.
The rich would bring a silver belt as a dowry, while the poor would bring a silver bowl or a silver spoon as a dowry.
After a son gets married, he cannot go back to his parents’ home at will. He can only stay at the woman’s home to take care of his wife and daughter, cook and do laundry.
Women go out to earn money and support their families.
That’s why people in southern Xinjiang are unwilling to have sons, because they are money-losing.
This is quite fresh.
Chu Zhao couldn't help but ask:
"But why? Men are obviously stronger and more powerful."
The village elder glanced at him with disdain in his eyes, and thought to himself, how come such a handsome guy is so stupid?
"What's the use of being strong? If a man can't have children, how can he pass on the family line?" Considering that he is the man of the fairy, the village chief patiently explained to him.
Chu Zhao was unconvinced and said:
"But without men, women can't have children, right? If we don't talk about male superiority and female inferiority, let's at least make sure that men and women are equal."
The village elder shook his head and sighed. This kid was talking about men being superior to women and men being equal. It was really a fantasy.
"Silly boy, a woman can give birth to a child no matter what man she marries, but a man cannot give birth to a child no matter what woman he marries." The village elder continued to educate him patiently.
Let me introduce you——
(☉_☉)
What he said made so much sense that Chu Zhao was speechless.
Seeing that Chu Zhao still looked unconvinced, the village elder said in surprise:
"Could it be that among the gods in your heaven, all children are born by men?"
Chu Zhao hung his head:
"no……"
"That's it. How can men be equal to women? Men are not born with the ability to have children."

That night, Gu Xi and Chu Zhao stayed at the village's old home.
Although the wooden house is simple, it is very clean.
