“Uh, that’s right. It’s been fifteen years since west had any newborn baby girls in the vige. May I know what exactly is the research about?” the vige head asked with a frown as he pondered on the possibility of marriage arrangements with the other vige.
“This is a long story, is there a ce for us to speak at length? We’re here to investigate the cause of this phenomenon.” Bai Wu smiled as he borated, his bright smile unarmed everyone.
“Ah! Silly me, why hasn’t it urred to me to invite you specialists in! Come on over, let’s have a talk in my house.” The vige head patted his head and invited everyone in.
Yanyi Vige was surrounded by mountains and scenic views. It was an otherworldly, secluded paradise. The main economic activity was farming. Due to its remote location, the vige was peaceful. The vigers lived an honest and harmonious life.
Everything changed after the birth of a baby girl on Chinese New Year’s Eve fifteen years ago.
It happened on a snowy twelfth lunar month where the vige was painted white. As Yanyi Vige was situated amidst the mountains, it experienced a lower than average temperature. The snow piled up so high that it was hard for the vigers to push open their doors. Strangely, the umted snow melted on Chinese New Year’s Eve. The leaves sprouted earlier than usual. By noon, flowers bloomed everywhere and the trees sheltered the vige once again. Colorful clouds umted in the sky, illuminating the entire vige.
On that day, a baby was born at Wu Ling’s home. It was a difficult childbirth and the baby was only born at sunset. The vige was attacked by a heavy snowstorm on the next day and it snowed for an entire month.
“Heck, that’s so strange? Is she a goddess from heaven or reincarnation of Buddha?”
The crew-cut man shouted in an exaggerated manner to express his disbelief. After noticing Bai Wu’s angry re, he retreated immediately and stood next to Zhang Fei. He was confident that he would win an argument with Zhang Fei; little did he know that Zhang Fei, a well-educated intellectual was too proud to engage in pointless arguments with him!
“Ever since then, the newborn babies in Yanyi Vige are all females <sup>1</sup> ?”
Used to dealing with these sort of questions, the vige head nodded dispassionately. Bai Wu found it amazing too. Even though the crew-cut man spoke crudely, he made a good point — the girl must havee from heaven!
“Is the child still at Yanyi Vige?” Bai Wu asked.
“She... She’s not,” the vige head paused before saying with a heavy heart.
“Then...” Bai Wu was trying to probe further. He kept his mouth shut after being elbowed by Xu Lan.
“Is there a ce in the vige where we can stay? There are twenty-eight of us. Do you think you can help us sort out our amodation?” Bai Wu changed the topic.
“Ah, no worries. If you don’t mind, all of you can stay with us. We can amodate everyone if we break the group into smaller groups!” The vige head did not seem as troubled anymore. He began to search for a ce to stay on behalf of the group.
“Papa, why did you stop me from asking?” Bai Wu followed behind Xu Lan and asked in confusion. This was the first time Xu Lan treated him like an adult. Bai Wu was worried that he disappointed Xu Lan in someway.
“Patience. Even if the vige head was being honest, the arrival of the goddess is something worth celebrating. How would this lead to Yanyi Vige not having any newborn baby boys <sup>1</sup> over the past fifteen years?” Xu Lan put his hands into his pockets. He spoke as he observed the scenic view of the mountains.
“Papa, are you suggesting that the vige head hasn’t beenpletely honest with us?” Bai Wu nodded his head and asked.
“... Haha, it’s not just the vige head. Are we staying at the same ce tonight? I’ve something to tell you.” Xu Lan patted Bai Wu on his shoulder and chuckled, his deep voice echoed throughout the endless mountain ranges.
