His Precious Love

Chapter 86 She Is Simply Too Smart

In no time, Curtis, Murat, and a few other villagers left after breakfast. Rayna stayed at the village. When she saw Aisha doing laundry, she offered to help.

“You’re pregnant, so stay still. Just sit there and hand the clothes to me,” Aisha stated.

She had always kept in mind that Rayna was pregnant and had to be careful, making the latter exceedingly embarrassed. In the end, Rayna found a rock to sit on, where she chatted with Aisha as she watched her doing laundry.

“How long have you all lived here, Ms. Aisha?”

“It’s been almost thirty-nine years.”

“That’s quite a long time,” Rayna commented. Her curiosity was piqued, and she queried, “There are many villagers like you here, but why are there still so few people when you’ve all lived here for decades?”

Logically speaking, the population here should have increased by half after over thirty years since they would have a prolonged lifespan thanks to the plant that can regenerate cells. But I didn’t see many villagers last night. Even kids seemed pitifully few.

“We have no idea why either, but everyone dies at the age of fifty,” Aisha admitted.

Rayna was stunned for a moment. “Fifty?”

I’ve never heard of an age limit for death.

“Yes, it happens to every family. When a child is born, those over fifty years old will die peacefully. For that reason, the number of people in the village hasn’t changed much in the past few decades,” Aisha explained.

“Have you all never considered leaving here? It didn’t seem that far of a journey when we came by car. You should go and have a checkup at the hospital. Perhaps it’s a health problem,” Rayna suggested.

However, Aisha shook her head with a smile. “This place is perfect, and everyone is happy. Why should we leave? Not only will we have to buy land, but we’ll also have to raise a slew of kids if we do so. Furthermore, no one understands our dialect.”

At that, Rayna did not say anything further.

That’s true. Putting aside the matter of education and healthcare, this place is indeed paradise on earth. One can be self-sufficient without having to worry about anything. If I were in her shoes, I wouldn’t want to leave either.
