"Flower time!"

Across the river, Hua Shi heard Li's suppressed angry voice, and his heart subconsciously skipped a beat.

Li stood up, put her hands on her hips, her face tanned red by the sun, and wrinkled tightly together.

Hua Shi calmed himself down and walked over.

"Grandma, what a coincidence! I was just thinking about you and I happened to run into you." Hua Shi said with a smile as he walked over.

Li's face darkened. "You don't remember what I said today, do you?"

Hua Shi carried a small basket in one hand and quickly reached out with the other hand, holding Li's arm affectionately and saying flatteringly,

"Of course I remember. I'm just too bored staying at home. You know my personality. There's no way I can sit still at home. You don't have to worry. I'm already a grown-up. Nothing will happen to me..."

Hua Shi was afraid that Li would get angry in public, so he kept saying nice things and took the initiative to find reasons for Li to be angry so that Li could save face.

She was also extremely impatient with Li's attitude, her unique desire for control, and her frequent venting of anger for no reason...

She could clearly feel that Li had a strong desire to control her mentally and physically and would not tolerate any disobedience from her.

This doesn't feel like a normal grandparent-grandchild relationship at all.

Her younger brothers and sisters always felt that Mrs. Li favored her, but she didn't think so at all.

Instead, she felt that Li was raising an obedient... pet, who had to listen to her and be well fed when she was happy, but when she was unhappy, she would get nothing and have to endure her inexplicable anger...

It is really hard to understand when it comes to flowers.

She actually wanted Li to treat her the same way she treated Hua Yu and the others, leaving her alone and unconcerned. She could accept the rough and tiring work, the harsh food and drink, the scolding and beatings.

At worst, they would just fall out and quit, and she would just walk away in anger.

Because there is no so-called affection, and the so-called doing it for your own good is not welcomed, and is bordering on harsh abuse, it is much easier for her to turn against you.

But, like now... it's not that Li abused her or criticized her harshly. It was just mental accusations, physical restraints, verbal scolding, and she had to endure Li's anger from time to time...

In the eyes of outsiders, these are all the respect and love that an elder has for the younger generation. They only do this because they are good to you. The deeper the love, the deeper the pain...

Li's face was gloomy, and she accused him in a cold voice, "What can you guarantee? Last time, I don't know who it was, but he sneaked into the mountains and got lost, and couldn't find anyone. And the time before that, he hit his head and made a big hole, and almost lost his life. You want me to be assured? How can I be assured!"

Perhaps it was because of the fear that came after talking about the previous incident that made Li even more furious. She pointed at her forehead as if to wake her up.

Just at this moment, several women sitting under the shade of the tree listened to Li's condemnation and nodded in agreement.

"Yeah, big girl, don't think about running to the mountains all day long. It's so dangerous there..."

A woman with a headscarf and a wrinkled face frowned and spoke bluntly.

As soon as the topic opened, people couldn't help but talk about Lin Haishan...

Linhai Mountain is the belief of the people in their large village, and there are countless mysterious rumors about it.

The name of this village is also derived from Linhai Mountain. Shoushan Village means guarding this mysterious and dangerous mountain.

The woman in the headscarf suddenly widened her eyes, as if she had thought of something. She stared at Hua Shi anxiously and asked, "Did you go to the temple to worship the shrine before entering the mountain?"

As the woman asked the question, everyone turned their heads to look at Hua Shi.

Even Li stared at her, waiting for her reply.

Hua Shi was confused and shook his head hesitantly.

But when she shook her head, the group of people staring at her looked shocked and terrified.

"You dare to enter the mountain without worshipping the mountain god's shrine? Aren't you afraid of attracting evil spirits?! Do you know that your ignorant behavior will harm the villagers?"

The woman stood up excitedly, suddenly grabbed Hua Shi's arm and pulled her towards her.

"You really haven't worshipped the mountain god yet! And you just went into the mountain?!"

When the woman stared at Hua, her eyeballs seemed to be about to burst out, bloodshot, and her expression was ferocious as if she wanted to eat someone.

Hua Shi was startled by the attitude of the crowd and hesitated for a moment, and then was frightened by the woman's sudden reaction. He said,

"I was kowtowed earlier and don't remember a lot of things. I don't even remember going to worship... the mountain god before entering the mountain?"

Hua Shi turned her head and looked at Li, who was standing on the side with an expressionless face.

Considering the strange expressions on everyone's faces, it's clear that this village seems to still believe in... some weird things.

Mountain God, Temple...

The woman was so angry at her ignorant words that she jumped up and slapped her arm and said,

"Don't you know? If you don't worship the mountain god before entering the mountains, you will attract some unclean things from the mountains! You got lost in the mountains last time, you must have run into a ghost wall! The mountain god is angry! You didn't worship again this time, and you can still come back safely, but you will definitely suffer a great disaster! You will bring trouble to us! You will bring trouble to us! You are committing a sin!"

The women who were originally sitting under the tree also stood up, frowning and looking at Hua Shi with condemnation.

"That's right! The rule of our village is to go to the temple to worship the mountain god before entering the mountain! How could you forget the rules of the village..."
