Capítulo 15: Chapter Fifteen: Milk and Breadcrumbs! A Farewell to Hunger
As Wang Hui's consciousness returned to the external world, he observed the scenes unfolding within the territory of the Huyan clan through a magnifying glass.
"In this rudimentary age, merely having enough food to survive brings immense joy to the majority…"
He sighed, closing the eastern glass cover.
The miniature world accelerated into motion, and the diminutive Huyan inhabitants busied themselves, diligently excavating two large, shallow pits next to their community.
What Wang Hui intended to bestow was not just crumbs of bread but also a small quantity of leftover milk.
He wished for the griffon to convey the message that the Huyan should prepare adequately for the forthcoming gifts.
The little folk layered thick snow along the inner walls of the pits, gradually compacting it into ice, soon forming a natural leak-proof container.
As day turned to night, a minute passed in the external world, and the miniature realm transitioned into the following day.
Wang Hui slid open the glass cover, synchronizing the flow of time.
He beheld the multitude of Huyan people gathered near the two large pits, eagerly gazing upward at the sky.
Huyan Wu and his son Huyan Gui stood at the forefront, each cradling a leather pouch.
Wang Hui leaned closer to the glass, squinting to observe; he discerned that the pouches were brimming with celestial crystal stones.
A rough count suggested there were over one hundred fifty!
"Well done," Wang Hui nodded in satisfaction, holding the packaging of the bread and milk in his hands.
"Feeding time has arrived!"
…
"Is the deity coming?"
"It should be soon… I've heard that when the deity descends, they transform into light; will we be struck down?"
"No, the deity punishes only those who defy the will of the heavens!"
"Am I the only one concerned about what food the deity will bestow? Surely it will differ from what we eat…"
Amidst the howling wind and snow, over twenty thousand Huyan people stood by the pit, chattering in anticipation.
Their hearts were filled with yearning for the divine sustenance, making the frigid weather feel less unbearable.
"It's here…"
Suddenly, the elder leader Huyan Wu stiffened, his gaze directed towards the eastern sky.
Beside him, Huyan Gui immediately followed his father's line of sight.
Yet, he saw nothing, just as his father had once described when he claimed to witness the "clouds shifting…"
However, after witnessing the remarkable presence of Wang Hui and the griffon, Huyan Gui could not dismiss the deity's uniqueness and was increasingly willing to believe his father's seemingly eccentric words.
Thus, he raised his hand and proclaimed, "The deity has descended! Silence, everyone!"
Whoosh—
Upon hearing this, the crowd stirred, quickly falling silent, their eyes widening as they gazed upward.
The cacophony abruptly ceased.
After a moment's pause, just as Huyan Gui was about to quietly inquire further from his father, a sudden whistling sound pierced the air from above!
It appeared as if the sunlight was obscured by a colossal object, plunging the surroundings into an eerie twilight.
Then, various objects of all sizes surged through the clouds, hurtling toward one of the large pits below!
The nearer Huyan people scrambled to avoid the impending descent, and after a series of resounding thuds, the pit capable of accommodating a hundred people was filled to the brim.
"What is that… it smells so wonderful!"
Catching the unfamiliar fragrance in the air, many craned their necks in curiosity, their mouths watering uncontrollably.
The aroma of modern bread was enough to captivate these weary souls from a pre-feudal era!
"Do not rush!"
Huyan Gui shouted, urging the crowd to restrain their eagerness and remain in place.
According to the divine message delivered by the griffon, the preparations for the two icy pits indicated that the deity intended to provide more than merely this!
Meanwhile, in the outside world, Wang Hui discarded the empty bread bag and opened the finished milk carton, tilting it towards the second icy pit in the miniature realm.
What remained in his eyes were merely a few drops of milk, which, to the little Huyan folk, resembled a silvery river of milk!
Splash—
As the milk cascaded into the second icy pit, it swiftly formed a large pond.
The rich scent of the bread mingled with the creamy aroma of pure milk, instantly dismantling the psychological barriers of the Huyan people!
"Oh my heavens! So much milk—could it be squeezed from divine cows in the heavens?"
"Even if each of us drank our fill every day, we could easily endure this winter!"
"I'm even more eager to sample that mountain of food beside us; it looks utterly satisfying!"
"Thank you, divine being, for your generosity!"
Some individuals spontaneously knelt in reverence, and soon the entire clan followed suit, kneeling in earnest gratitude towards the heavens.
Wang Hui regarded this scene with satisfaction.
Although the primary value of the miniature world lay in providing him with the essence to enhance life, witnessing the little folk's profound appreciation for his modest gifts stirred different emotions within him.
"Even when reaping the harvest, one must practice humane management!"
The subsequent events unfolded simply.
The griffon, adhering to Wang Hui's instructions, swiftly departed with the celestial crystal stones after the Huyan clan received their sustenance, hastening back to its secret base to find the lionesses.
Once Wang Hui retracted his hand and the shadow overhead dissipated, the Huyan people obeyed their leader's orders to commence the food distribution.
Huyan Gui waved his hand and announced the distribution of ample breadcrumbs and milk to all, ensuring that those who had endured the cold and hunger would have a hearty feast!
Due to the abundance provided by Wang Hui, even with everyone receiving generous portions, a considerable amount remained.
"Men, carry the divine food and store it in the warehouse!
Elders, women, and children, gather all the leather pouches to hold the divine milk.
Make certain that everything is transported into the clan's territory before nightfall!"
Huyan Gui assigned tasks, and Huyan Qingbo among others coordinated the efforts.
The scene appeared bustling yet orderly, prompting the elder leader to nod approvingly.
He drew the hood of his leather cloak over his head and quietly departed from the clan's territory.
The deity fulfilled its promise, bestowing the Huyan clan with an abundance of sustenance beyond their expectations, alleviating any fears of starvation in the winter.
Naturally, the elder leader felt compelled to reciprocate this immense grace, fulfilling his duty as a servant of the divine!
"To the north of the grassland lie several wolf packs; those greedy cubs will consume anything.
Perhaps I can find some celestial crystals within their bellies…"
Amidst the swirling snow, Huyan Wu's towering figure gradually faded into the haze until it vanished entirely.
…
In the external world, Wang Hui closed the eastern glass cover and stretched his limbs wearily.
"There's a dragon horse keeping watch on the Zuo Qiu clan, and the Nalan clan's leader has tasted the sweetness of my offerings.
With Huyan Wu facilitating matters for the Huyan clan… the three clans should not erupt into major conflict in the near term."
Observing the miniature world restored to its accelerated state, Wang Hui felt a sense of relief and turned to wash up before retiring for the night.
Even should unforeseen events arise within, the formidable presence of the griffon would ensure the stability of the greater environment.
"When I awaken from my slumber, it shall be over a year later in the miniature realm…"
In the hours that ensued as Wang Hui slept, significant events unfurled within the miniature world.
While on an external patrol, the leader of the Zuo Qiu clan encountered a sudden blizzard.
Though he was valiantly brought back to the clan territory by his attendants, he succumbed to a grave illness, rendering him incapable of governing the entire clan.
The clan's most favored young master, Zuo Qiu Yue, ascended to leadership, becoming the youngest leader in the history of the Zuo Qiu clan.
Upon her inauguration, a new round of overt and covert rivalry with the Huyan clan commenced!
