Pangolin is the Mountain God 7

In the evening, Zhao He and his wife came over again and helped the third wife wash the pigs and sheep. They also placed various fruits in exquisite bamboo baskets and tied them with a bow.

In addition, two candles were also prepared.

The third wife tapped her aching waist and said to the Zhao He couple who were working silently, "Oh, I never thought that I could really worship the true God in this life."

Especially this god, who was lying in his master bedroom.

This feeling made her want to spread it to everyone, so that everyone in the world would know that she, Zhao Xiu, was a person favored by the mountain god!

Zhao He also nodded and said seriously, "Aunt is right. I never thought I would meet the mountain god in this lifetime."

He handled the offerings carefully, hoping that everything would be perfect, as long as the mountain god was satisfied.

Zhao He's wife was not good at talking, so she just nodded beside him.

The Third Master was busy pounding some medicine, which he would later roll into pills to feed the Mountain God to replenish his body. "Everything is ready now. All that's missing is the flowers that Da Pan will bring back tomorrow."

Although I cannot tell my daughter that there is a mountain god at home, I can let her secretly meet the mountain god and get some of his divine power.

This life has not been lived in vain.

Luo Chen, who was about to open his eyes, heard the voices outside the window, changed his mind temporarily, closed his eyes and continued to practice.

The next morning.

The third wife paced back and forth in the yard, occasionally counting the best dishes and adjusting the ones she was not satisfied with. "Why hasn't Da Pan come back yet? The food I kept in the pot is getting cold."

It won’t taste good after a while.

The third uncle shook his head: "Even if Da Pan comes by car, it will take an hour and a half. Young people don't like to get up early these days. Why are you cooking so early?"

The third wife put her hands on her waist and lowered her voice: "What do you know? This dish needs to be stewed for three hours to be fragrant. If I stew it later, what if I can't make it in time for the sacrifice to the mountain god?"

Men don't understand anything.

The third uncle fell silent and started smoking again. After a while, he said, "I'm going to rinse my mouth. I'll go see the mountain god after I'm done."

We can’t let the smell of smoke bother the mountain god.

The door of the master bedroom was slowly pushed open. The third uncle stuck his head out to take a look. The pangolin on the mattress still maintained the same posture, breathing evenly and slowly. The scales on its body were more lustrous than yesterday, and even had a texture like precious jade.

From a distance, you might even think it was carved out of black jade.

He tiptoed over and checked the wound on the pangolin's leg. The part where the bone was once visible was now as smooth as new, replaced by new light ink-colored scales.

At this rate, it will definitely return to the same color as the scales on other parts of the body in one day at most.

The third uncle was somewhat happy, as this meant that the mountain god's health was indeed improving. Perhaps the gods' healing methods were different from those of ordinary people, and he could get better just by a good night's sleep.

Of course, the meatballs made with this medicinal ingredient still need to be fed.

When the third uncle came out, the third wife asked, "How is it? Are you awake?"

"not yet."

The third wife was a little disappointed, and then she heard the third uncle say, "But the mountain god's injury has almost recovered."

The third wife slapped her thigh immediately and said, "Oh, that's great."

The mountain god is worthy of being a god. He recovers from injuries faster than ordinary people.

Zhao Xiaolu sat in the yard, quietly flipping through a book.

She had to make up for the missed classes in the past few days as soon as possible and not allow other students to take away her top spot in the class.

Zhao He's wife felt sorry for her daughter and whispered, "You should take a break. It won't take too long."

You have to wait until you are done before reviewing.

Zhao Xiaolu shook her head and explained calmly, "Reading can make me feel more peaceful. I have nothing to do anyway."

Seeing this, Zhao He's wife had no choice but to stop trying to persuade him. She took out the fruit she had brought from home, cut it into small pieces and fed it to Zhao Xiaolu: "Eat some fruit to replenish your vitamins."

They had eaten in the morning and were waiting for Zhang Lipan to come.

The third wife waited and waited, and could not help but go into the house and call Zhang Lipan, "Hello? Da Pan, where are you?"

Zhang Lipan glanced at the scenery outside the car window and estimated the journey. "It's about half an hour away. Are you and my dad home?"

The third wife lowered her voice and said, "Not only your father and I, but also the young couple Zhao He."

She was afraid of disturbing the mountain god.

But in Zhang Lipan's view, her mother, who always liked to speak loudly and didn't care about anyone's opinion, suddenly spoke so softly one day, which completely confirmed her previous guess.

Something must have happened at home!

The liar might be at home!

Zhang Lipan became more and more anxious as she thought about it. She wished she could grow wings and fly back home as soon as possible. Her eldest brother Zhang Tianzhuang gestured to Zhang Lipan to give him the phone and said, "Mom, Dapan and I will go home together."

The third wife listened to the voice on the phone and subconsciously asked, "What are you doing back?"

Zhang Tianzhuang had long been accustomed to his own mother's attitude and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I won't compete with Da Pan for the food you cook."

He used to like to snatch the dishes that Da Pan liked to eat, just to see Da Pan crying in anger and laugh happily. Whenever the third wife and the third uncle saw this, they would beat him severely with a feather duster.

Zhang Lipan also thought of her childhood and couldn't help laughing, but then she remembered the time when her own mother was deceived, and she stopped laughing. She mouthed to Zhang Tianzhuang silently: "Ask our dad."

Zhang Tianzhuang nodded, and then naturally asked what the third uncle was doing.

The third wife rolled her eyes. "What else can I do? I'm just messing around with his medicine. Okay, I won't chat with you two anymore. Hurry back. We have something to go out for later."

"Going out? Going to...? Hello? Hello?" Zhang Tianzhuang took off his phone and glanced at the screen. He said helplessly, "Mom hung up and urged us to go back early."

With their hearts growing increasingly worried, the two finally arrived at the foot of the mountain village. Without even responding to other people in the village, they hurried home.

As soon as they arrived at the door of their house, their hearts skipped a beat.

Because there were two trailer boards in the small yard, with a pig and a sheep on them, and several fruit baskets next to them, each of which was big and fresh.

This is a bigger scene than I imagined.

Because the third uncle was also sitting in the yard, and he obviously did not show any resistance to everything around him. Instead, he was seriously preparing the medicinal herbs.

The brother and sister looked at each other solemnly.

It’s over, Dad is also trapped!

When the third wife saw Zhang Lipan, her face was as bright as a flower. She quickly ran over to grab her, glanced her up and down, and gave her a conclusion: "You've lost weight!"

Zhang Lipan, who has been working hard to lose weight, said: "..."

My mother is good in every way, but I always feel that she is too thin.

Zhang Tianzhuang lifted the things in his hand and reminded: "Mom, I'm back too."

The third wife then looked at her eldest son with a charitable look and took the things from his hand: "Come if you want to, why do you need to bring things with you?"

Zhang Lipan could see that Third Auntie was quite happy that her eldest brother had come, but she was just being soft-hearted and didn't want others to see it.

The brother and sister were considerate enough not to expose the Third Wife. Instead, they mentioned the things in the yard and casually asked, "Who bought these things? Are you going to give them away later?"

A live pig or sheep is very expensive.

The third wife and the third uncle looked at each other, and then they remembered that they had forgotten to give their confession. Now they had no idea how to answer their own children.

Zhao He's wife quietly tugged at Zhao He and signaled.

Zhao He finally reacted and quickly explained, "We bought it and put it here with Auntie first."

Zhang Lipan didn't believe it at all.

Zhao He's expression was extremely unnatural, and it was obvious that he was lying. She suspected that not only her parents, but now even Zhao He's entire family was involved.

This liar has gone too far.

Although she worked in the city, she was generally aware of the big and small things happening in the village, such as the incident where Zhao He's child fell into the river and became paralyzed. Even the capital's hospital couldn't cure him, so he had to be taken home to be raised.

This family had previously sold everything they had to borrow money, so how could they still have money to buy pigs and sheep now?

Although Zhang Tianzhuang didn't think as much as Zhang Lipan, he instinctively noticed that Zhao He's expression was unnatural, and subconsciously said: "Brother Zhao He, you can't be confused!"

It would be fine if his parents were cheated, but Zhao He's family is in such a bad situation that they can't withstand the slightest blow or setback. The child is still so young and it's time for him to recuperate and receive treatment. Why was he brought here?

Zhao He was speechless for a moment and looked at the third wife as if asking for help.

The third wife suddenly became furious and stood up, pinching her waist: "What are you two doing? What are you trying to do?"

Only then did she notice that Zhang Lipan didn't have any flowers in her hand. It was obvious that everything she said yesterday was just a lie. She realized something belatedly and became even angrier.

"Okay, are you two suspecting that I've been deceived again?"

No wonder my eldest son also came here.

Zhang Lipan walked over and took Sanpo's arm, "Mom, don't be angry, we are just worried about you."

After all, I had several experiences where I was almost cheated, but was stopped in time by the third uncle.

Thinking of this, Zhang Lipan and Zhang Tianzhuang looked at the third uncle, "Dad, what's going on?"

The third uncle put down what he was holding and said, "What's the problem? Let's first try to find a way to get some flowers."

He let out a long sigh.

Live pigs and sheep, fresh flowers, and the fruits in the bamboo baskets, as well as the mountain god thing that the third wife mentioned yesterday, Zhang Lipan couldn't help but say, "Dad, you know these gods and Buddhas are all fake. How could you join in this nonsense?"

"Nonsense?!"

The third wife was breathing heavily, her face looking quite angry.

The third uncle quickly stood up and supported the third wife, "Don't talk nonsense."

Zhang Lipan and Zhang Tianzhuang breathed a sigh of relief and echoed, "Mom, did you listen to what my dad said?"

The third uncle got angry for the first time, and it was directed at the two children, "I'm talking about you two!"

He said that gods and Buddhas are fake, and he actually dared to say such a thing as that which will be punished by thunder and lightning, especially when there is a real god lying in the house. This is really embarrassing.

He couldn't help but feel nervous and worried, clasping his hands together and muttering, "You are a magnanimous person, please don't bother with these two people."

Seeing this, the Zhang brothers and sisters were even more dumbfounded.

It’s over, it’s over. It’s only been two months since I came home, and my dad, who firmly believes in materialism, actually believes in this stuff even more than my mom!

The third uncle thought for a moment and said to the third wife, "If it really doesn't work, tell the child about this."

Otherwise, it would be troublesome if these two kids make a big fuss.

The third wife hesitated for a few seconds, then looked at Zhao He and his wife, "What do you think?"

Without the consent of the Mountain God, she really didn't dare let others know, even if this was her most trusted child.

Suddenly, Zhao Xiaolu raised her head and said softly, "Lord Mountain God won't mind."

As soon as these words were spoken, the courtyard fell into silence.

The third wife asked nervously, "Nier, how did you know?"

Zhang Lipan was puzzled at first: "Mountain God? Who told you about the Mountain God?" Then, not knowing what she was thinking, her tone suddenly became urgent: "You've been deceived, you know that!"

Zhao Xiaolu tilted her head and said, "Sister Dapan, you've never seen God, so how do you know that God doesn't exist?"
