Chapter 993 In the Etienne Valley

Madame Madusa always emphasized that she was a village woman, and her skills were only suitable for the valley.

But Xu Yang felt that she could do anything. She's not just a country woman living in Taixizhou in the year 1066, she can definitely cope with the new world.

Sometimes Xu Cheng told Xu Yang that it was a pity that Mrs. Madusa had never seen virtual helmets, 3D software and airplanes. Xu Yang didn't take it seriously, and Madam Madusa didn't complain that Xu Cheng had never seen piglets give birth, wheat earing and flowering, and he couldn't tell the difference between green onions, garlic sprouts and leeks.

Xu Yang bought a lot of books online for Mrs. Madusa. She read very vigorously, but she didn't let anyone see her. She always read secretly under the shade of a tree to re-understand the world a thousand years later.

At this time, Xu Yang saw Mrs. Madusa, as if he saw Farosha eagerly learning how to use a mobile phone in the burrito hat store 20 years ago.

Then Madame Madusa made such rapid progress that she found herself having to contend with the moderns.

When Xu Yang was here, he always helped her block the community's inquiries. Once, Madam Madusa saw him sending away a group of people at the mouth of the valley.

"What are they for?" Madame Madusa asked.

"Land buyers." Xu Yang said.

"Let me deal with them." Madam Madusa said, "This is my home, why should they bother?"

Xu Yang explained the cause and effect. This place, the Etienne Valley, is located in the southeastern part of the Gaul region of Taixi Province. It has been empty and isolated from the world since the catastrophe. The Gaul Council wanted to take it away, thinking it belonged to them, but Madame Madusa came. And they felt that it was unreasonable for such a little woman to occupy such a beautiful river valley suitable for growing grapes.

"In short, they will take the river valley at all costs." Xu Yang said.

"I'm not qualified to live here?" Madam Madusa protested, "Good fellow!"

"Don't worry, I can settle it, it's me..."

"Let me meet those representatives next time." Madame Madusa was very stubborn, her tone refusing to budge. That posture made Xu Yang hallucinate to Faroza. Sometimes when Farosha is like this, Xu Yang can no longer reason with her. No one would have guessed that this inheritance came from Madame Madusa.

Xu Yang couldn't resist, so he had no choice but to say that the next committee member would come, and she would be in charge of negotiations.

On Monday, a representative of the committee entered the valley. He surveyed the land with a drone and asked Mrs. Madusa to join the community. Mrs. Madusa refused. They left very calmly, regardless of whether Madam Madusa surrendered or not, they had corresponding plans.

Soon, they sent polite people to visit: According to the principle of common ownership, all the land belongs to the owner, so Madame Madusa cannot regard this place as her own home.

Madame Madusa could not understand why they dared to drive her away from the Etienne Valley with a few lines, intending to replace her exquisite house, barn, farmland and orchard with rows of dull bungalows. The scope of coordination also includes the animals she laboriously raised. The Gaul Council wants to register them as public property. Each animal will have holes in its ears and a QR code written on it. In the future, people can buy them on the screen. Take them from the corral to make steaks.

Mrs. Madusa does not cooperate. She raises animals to feed Xu Cheng, Bubble, Laila, Ishta and Sylphy. Especially Xu Cheng, she drank all the milk.

After that, the committee members continued to come to discuss matters, and asked Madam Madusa to move away from here, or give up 1/3 of the land. The compensation was so high that it was almost a bribe. Richer than all the queens in history combined. Madame Madusa still wouldn't sell it. To be honest, it was impossible to sell it unless they had a way to kill her.

The committee thought they had it, and the moment she refused, they concocted a public opinion that Madame Madusa had occupied a large area, refused to join the community, refused to cooperate with the community, and resisted all reasonable proposals for annexation, just like a Gaul. cancerous tumor.

They thought that thousands of Gauls were besieging Madame Madusa's valley, but they regarded Madame Madusa as a representative of true freedom and independent noble spirit, defending their assets in this free world, Protect it from abuse and merging. The hundreds of Gallic delegates on the committee conspired against a helpless little woman like rascals. From New Lundenim, Seven Hills to Constantinier, there are fans of Madame Madusa everywhere. Although she herself knows nothing about it.

The farthest support is from Tequilan Island, Xia, Heping Island and Xintaixi Island. Every day before dinner, Xu Cheng reads aloud other people's compliments to Mrs. Madusa.

"Well done, ma'am, please persevere!/Never back down/They just want to tear down your hometown, be careful of plots!..." Xu Cheng recited in cadence. Although Madame Madusa didn't know what those places were like, she was glad that someone was on her side, and she was more determined to protect the Etienne Valley and everything here, just as she had done her best in the past. Protect Farosa from all malice.

Madame Madusa was determined. The committee also plans to invite her to open a B&B or a country hotel. Many people want to come here for mountain climbing and fishing. He reiterated his invitation to join the Community. Madame Madusa rejected the business plan and wrote a statement herself: She has lived here since 1069, and she is taller than all the Gauls here, at least her skin is white, she is taller than the Gauls. A member of the Council of Lu is more qualified to be a Gaul. It cost her the support of people of color, though she didn't know them in the first place.

The next week, someone on the committee, much smarter than she, questioned - she had no deeds, and if they had, they were long outdated, no law, no king, no organization could prove that Madame Madusa was entitled to the Etienne Valley . Madame Madusa was speechless.

Soon, the excavators and forklifts used to flatten Mrs. Madusa's house gathered at the entrance of the valley. Xu Cheng rummaged through the boxes to find his gun.

Lila was not prepared to fight, she asked Madam Madusa to write to the Planetary Council and the Council of New Witches, that's when Madam Madusa learned to send e-mails.

The members of the New Witch Council were completely shocked and even terrified when they heard that Lord Faroza's mother was being harassed. If Faroza knew about it, Terra would die millions of people. On that day, more than a thousand ships blocked the door of the Gaul Committee, including Gaul's own witches who also went to the banks of the Seine. They were heartbroken and scolded the committee members. The banks of the Seine were overcrowded, and there were no photos of Madame Madusa. People used portraits instead, depicting her as an ancient Gaul goddess. The Council of Gallic disbands in shame and fear. Since then, all those who coveted the river valley have shut up, and no one has crossed the border, respecting all the rights of Madame Madusa.

Madame Madusa knew nothing about the outside world, she only knew that no one had disturbed her for a long time, she won the victory, defended her home and land, and felt proud from the bottom of her heart. The Planetary Council ended the deliberation process, and the people who came later were more polite and sent her a new title deed, allocating 10,800 square kilometers of land to her, so that she could pass on the Etienne Valley from generation to generation.

A detailed map was attached with the deed. It was the first time in her life that Madam Madusa saw her home on a satellite map. It turned out that the Etienne Valley is so big, no wonder the committee desperately wanted to merge it. She sympathizes with her defeated enemies. Then, Mrs. Madusa saw that the house and the orchard were clearly visible under the lens of the space satellite. She was both surprised and frightened, and never bathed in the stream again.

She put up a sign on the way into the mountain that said "The De Aquilia Family", and there was a mailbox next to it. Three times a week, many friends and supporters would send letters and mail, full of souvenirs, magazines, Newspapers, trendy electronic products, and Qianshu’s weekly letters and postcards. She recorded her own games and parties, and there are spaces for Xu Cheng, Bubble and Laila.

After the victory, Xu Yang continued to live here for a long time, only Niederlett, Miying, and Weier left when they decided to move together.

Many people think that Farosha is already amazing, but they have never seen Madame Madusa. Madam Madusa's voice and Madam Madusa's person gave Xu Yang a sense of elegance.

Maybe it's because of the imagination collected from Faroza's memory, maybe it's because she is like this.

Judging from Xu Yang's experience, he believed even more that she was like this.

Sometimes they are together. She didn't want to disturb the children, so she always bit her lip and begged Xu Yang to hurry up with persuasive eyes.

"This place cannot live without you." Then one day, Xu Yang said.

"But it's still very strange." Madam Madusa showed a confused and shy expression, every time she did this, Xu Yang would be tempted.

"What's so strange?"

"Before, the things that happened around me were very simple. Relatives gave birth to children out of wedlock, beggars passed by the door, people in the village did dirty things, or the nobles nearby were organizing something, how many people the tax collector wanted to take away... It's different now, It's very different, the children taught me to read the news, a million things happen in this world every day, and the previous committee." Madame Madusa said wearily.

"It's over, and now we can't fight with us outside." Xu Yang said, "Farosa is not here now, otherwise she can talk to you more."

"Ah, Faroza. I never thought of giving birth to a witch. Giving birth to a girl in the countryside is very troublesome, let alone a witch. The poor are afraid, and the rich are also afraid. If you get close to a witch, you will either die or be injured. But I Seeing Farosa, the pride flowing from the top of the head to the soles of the feet, I knew I should raise her." Madame Madusa smiled.

"I'm also proud of her." Xu Yang nodded, "You know, many witches just know that you gave birth to Faroza, just this, just this, is enough to make them worship you and respect you add."

"I don't care about that. Farosa and our family are enough. I'm more worried about Helena? She won't grow up."

"It's a privilege not to grow up." Xu Yang also cared about Helena, she and Xu Cheng seemed to have a good understanding, sometimes they would suddenly laugh at each other without talking, as if they thought of something interesting together.

"Maybe it's the valley that traps Helena."

"Helena is smarter than Ishtar." Xu Yang said.

"Ishtar cries alone at night, like a baby."

"I hope she can come out. This valley is the most suitable place." Xu Yang said, "And you? Do you want to learn a driver's license? We can drive out."

Madam Madusa looked at Xu Yang thoughtfully.

"It doesn't matter to me, everything is in order for me. I don't read as much as you do, but I've heard a couple of poets, and they all end with 'Mary and Romero lived happily together' Kind of. Look at you, you've made a lot of people happy and changed their destiny, now it's your turn. Take it easy, you and Farosa are getting married.' You and Farosa Rosa lived a happy life together', wouldn't that be the end of your life?" she said.

"Okay." Xu Yang said.

He didn't know why he agreed in an instant. Perhaps by his own admission the time was right. Maybe it's because Madame Madusa said it in a tone that was like saying to her child: "It's time to grow up".

It's time to grow up.

"I'll be there soon." Xu Yang said, "But I'm going to live here for a while."

"You can stay as long as you want." Madame Madusa smiled.

After that, Xu Cheng and Leila planted a lot of vegetables, and Pao Pao planted sweet potatoes behind the hillside. In autumn, they traveled all over the river valley, collected fruits and made a lot of jams, which were neatly placed in the grain cellar, and they worked hard to fill the cellar, and they would not be able to eat it all for ten years.

Laila was the happiest, because Faroza named her Laila Madusa. Now Laila can finally see her "grandmother" with her own eyes. She is strong and hardworking. Ishtar stopped crying after a few months, as if she had turned back into a demure witch queen.

Xu Yang later received a message that he had to leave this place, return to the Eastern Hemisphere, and go to the northern archipelago.

On the first day of winter, Xu Yang went to the mailbox at the entrance of the valley to receive the goods. One of the airmail parcels contained a camera he ordered. He took it to take group photos for everyone in the valley. Remember, not just for yourself, but for them, for everyone.

Mrs. Madusa studied photography, but she insisted on taking pictures by herself, and never took pictures of herself and Helena.

"I'm afraid we won't appear in the photos, we are the ones who don't exist." Mrs. Madusa is very smart, knowing that they should have disappeared at the end of the timeline.

"No." Xu Yang promised.

"I dare not." Madame Madusa smiled shyly.

She continued to take pictures for others. On the day Xu Yang left the Etienne Valley, Madam Madusa took a group photo for them. Helena stood beside Madam Madusa, staring blankly.

Mrs. Madusa pressed the shutter. In the photo, Xu Yang stood in the middle, in full bloom; Ishtar held a bouquet of flowers in both hands, smiling from the side; Sylphy stood like an ice sculpture; Xu Cheng compared " "v" gesture, Laila raised her chin dignifiedly, like a princess from a foreign country, with Bubbles in a quiet posture and loose green hair.

After the filming, Xu Yang insisted on taking pictures of Mrs. Madusa.

"It'll be fine." Xu Yang promised.

Madame Madusa panicked, but it took her a few minutes to calm herself down. Nervously let Helena enter the room, and then she sat on the stone by the river and brushed her hair: "How is it now?" She said shyly.

"It couldn't be better." Xu Yang located Madam Madusa and took a photo of her.

When the camera sounded, Madam Madusa trembled slightly. She thought she was going to die like this, or disappear, but she didn't. She suspects that the camera can steal souls and kill ghosts. Fortunately, she is a living person, and living people are not afraid of cameras.

Madame Madusa took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and opened them again after a long time. The world was still there, and the world recognized her existence.

Xu Yang showed her the photos he had taken.

He didn't know whether he loved Madame Madusa more because of Madame Madusa, or because of Madame Madusa's existence.

Madam Madusa took a deep breath, and her eyes shone with joy.

"So beautiful," she said, and then she couldn't help crying.
