Pangolin is the mountain god 10
Zhao Xiaolu mustered up the courage to raise her head, a smile that came from the heart appearing on her face.
It’s the mountain god.
The third wife and the others suppressed their excitement, greeted Luo Chen one after another, and couldn't help but show concern for Luo Chen.
"Lord Mountain God, how is your injury?"
Luo Chen leaned slightly to the side to show them the wound. It was completely smooth as new and had the same color as the surrounding scales.
Only then did the three ladies feel relieved.
Luo Chen's mind moved, and several vines suddenly extended from the two trees, sweeping away the fruits on the ground.
The three women and their companions understood that this meant that the mountain god had accepted the sacrifices offered by humans, just like last time, and they felt even happier.
Then, the third wife pointed to the large and small packages beside her and said, "We also brought these!"
The Zhang brothers and sisters were particularly envious of their own mother for being able to talk to the mountain god, but even if they were given the courage, they... still wouldn't dare to go up.
The two of them didn't say anything, but just opened the package and planned to take out everything inside and show it to the mountain god one by one.
"No need, take these back."
The familiar and majestic voice appeared in their minds at the same time. They were stunned and felt a little uneasy.
Doesn’t the Mountain God like these things?
Seeing this, Luo Chen couldn't help but sigh deeply in his heart and asked Wan Kongjing to relay his words to the Third Wife and the others: "Don't spend money next time."
The third wife and the others finally relaxed and continued to look at Luo Chen with hopeful eyes. They really wanted to show the mountain god the things they had carefully selected so that they could see how grateful and loved the mountain god they were.
Especially Zhao He, he wanted to install all these things by himself.
Luo Chen understood the feelings of these people and did not refuse as he did before. He used vines to circle a certain area and said, "Just install it here."
There happened to be a river nearby, which made it convenient for them to wash up after work.
Several people immediately smiled happily and started to get busy.
Luo Chen closed his eyes, ready to continue practicing. However, the gaze from the side was too strong to ignore. He opened his eyes and asked the little girl, "What's going on?"
Zhao Xiaolu couldn't understand how the mountain god made the voice appear in her mind, but then she thought, since the mountain god could heal her body, it was normal for him to have some other magical abilities.
She could now slide her wheelchair by herself, but she didn't dare move forward, even though she desperately wanted to be closer to the mountain god.
Two vines grew out of the ground again, as flexible as human hands, gently pushing the wheelchair to Luo Chen.
Zhao Xiaolu blinked.
Although it has the appearance of an animal, one can feel the majesty and heaviness of a mountain from it, making people feel safe and reliable.
Miraculously, all her worries and uneasiness were driven away. She carefully took out the blueprint and looked at Luo Chen with embarrassed yet hopeful eyes. "This... is for you."
By evening, the sun was about to set.
Luo Chen directly signaled these people that they could go down the mountain. Before leaving, he also gave them some fruits to replenish their water.
On the way down the mountain.
Several people were still extremely excited and even discussed what to bring up next time.
Zhang Lipan hesitated: "But the mountain god doesn't seem to like us buying things for him."
The third wife poked Zhang Lipan with her finger and said, "Silly, we can bring some tools and see if we can build a temple for the mountain god. Hulu Mountain still doesn't have a proper mountain temple."
What even the God of Land has, the Mountain God must also have!
Zhang Lipan hesitated even more: "Should we build the temple on the mountain or at the foot of the mountain?"
Just a few of them don’t know how long it will take to complete. If they build a temple at the foot of the mountain, what if any villagers ask about it?
The third wife was suddenly speechless.
Zhao He thought for a moment and said weakly, "Then... let's build a smaller temple on the mountain first?"
"I think it's okay!"
Soon, the villagers noticed that the two children of the third wife's family often came home with large and small bags. They always said to others that they missed their parents very much and went home to visit and spend time with the elderly.
But the villagers didn't believe it.
After all, in the early years, I didn’t see the eldest son of the third wife’s family coming back two or three times a week, not to mention the waste of time taking the bus.
Just take the things I bring back every time, which cost quite a bit of money.
Not only that, even Zhao He and his wife, who had been close to the Third Aunt's family during this period, had been following the Third Aunt and the Third Uncle up the mountain every day for some unknown reason, carrying large and small bags and a lot of tools every time.
At first they thought they were going up the mountain to catch some rabbits or pick some wood ear mushrooms, but every time they came down the mountain, their bags were all empty. Someone with a sharp eye noticed that they had put several fruits in their baskets.
Someone was thirsty after working in the fields, so he asked Zhao He for a fruit. However, Zhao He flatly refused and said he wanted to take it home for his wife and children.
Is this just a wild fruit so precious?!
Several villagers gathered under a tree at the entrance of the village to enjoy the cool air, eating melon seeds and drinking herbal tea. One of them lowered his voice and said mysteriously, "It's not just that. Did you know that Zhao He's child is getting better?"
The villagers nodded and urged him to stop keeping them in suspense.
"Tsk, why are you so anxious?" He waved his hand without any fear and continued, "Just today, I saw with my own eyes that child was able to stand on the table for a few seconds without the help of an adult."
He knocked on the table. "Do you know what this means?"
The villagers were stunned, and then showed excited and happy expressions.
"It seems that what Zhao He and his wife said is true. This child is really going to get well soon."
"Yes, yes, the couple finally got their wish!"
The other person's expression froze. He hadn't expected his fellow villagers to think in this way, so he had to remind them, "But haven't you ever thought about it? Zhao He and his wife, and Third Aunt, go up the mountain frequently, so why do they always have to bring the children up the mountain?"
"Didn't the Zhao He family explain that they wanted to take the children up the mountain to relax? If you were stuck at home doing nothing but lying in bed every day, you'd go crazy too."
Not to mention children who naturally yearn for freedom.
The man's face turned a bit ugly after being confronted, and he got straight to the point: "But do you really believe in miracles? A disease that even the capital's major hospitals can't cure, can be cured by staying at home for a few days?"
When everyone heard this, they were stunned.
"What else?"
Looking at the puzzled and bewildered expressions, the other party acted as if he was the only one sober among the rest, and pointed a finger at them: "I just said that none of you like to use your brains."
Before everyone could get angry, his next words instantly drew everyone's attention.
"I suspect there are precious medicinal herbs on that mountain."
He presented his analysis one by one, with solid evidence and no room for rebuttal.
First of all, why did the Zhao He couple always go up the mountain with the Sanpozi family, and bring all kinds of tools that obviously looked like they were used to dig things and chop trees? It was obvious that they were going to dig the mountain and dig trees to get the medicinal herbs out.
Secondly, this also explains why Zhao He’s children are getting better day by day.
Someone hesitated and asked, "Because of taking this medicine?"
The other party said with certainty, "That's right. It also explains why the children of the Third Mother-in-law have been coming back so frequently recently, and why they've brought so many bags of things with them."
Where does the money come from?
Of course, every time I came here, I brought the herbs to the city and sold them.
"Don't forget, Third Uncle's family has been veterinarians for generations. How can someone in this line of work not have some ability to identify medicinal herbs?"
The villagers suddenly understood what he said.
If this is the truth, then all doubts can be reasonably explained.
But the question is, what does this have to do with them?
This mountain is not theirs. They have the ability to identify medicinal herbs and sell them to make money, and they are willing to help Zhao He's children. Isn't this a good thing!
They felt somewhat envious when they thought that Sanpozi's family might have made a lot of money. But on the other hand, it was Sanpozi and her family who found a way to make money, but that didn't mean they could rob them. Anyone in the village could go up the mountain to pick things and chop trees. Just because the other party had the ability to find medicinal herbs didn't mean they could just rob them.
How can I survive in the village from now on?
Mrs. Zhao He, who was passing by from a distance, heard this and her eyes turned quickly, then she turned around and walked towards home.
She had to talk about this with Zhao Hai. Of course, this kind of money-making business should be shared among family members!
Outsiders are nothing.
Luo Chen extended some of his strength and sensed everything that was happening at the foot of the mountain, and couldn't help but sigh.
Humans are both good and bad.
But some people just are not content.
