In a place that the village chief and the others could not see, a golden human-shaped light appeared in Lin Xi's sight.
The light had the appearance of a human, but the facial features were not clear. It floated in the air and looked at Lin Xi, as if it was very curious about her.
He had been on the mountain for two hundred days, and he had never seen anyone who could summon him out directly.
Normally, he could sense the inner voices of believers when they prayed, but to him, those inner voices were like the mountain breeze, which passed by without affecting him at all.
However, Lin Xi's call made him feel an extremely strong pulling force, forcing him to come immediately.
The human beings before us are truly amazing!
The curious mountain god kept circling around Lin Xi.
Lin Xi had already confirmed that the mountain god was more lively, so he didn't keep him in suspense and asked him directly.
"I have something I want to ask you about. Do you know where Deng Yongmei's soul has gone?"
Deng Yongmei?
The mountain god, who had been circling, suddenly stopped and asked Lin Xi in confusion, "I know, are you looking for her?"
The disappearance of Deng Yongmei's soul was indeed related to the mountain god.
Lin Xi gestured to the mountain god to look over there at the village chief and the others, then said, "Deng Yongmei's son is there. He's been anxious and distressed for days because his mother has been in a coma. He's been by Deng Yongmei's bedside every day, just hoping she'll wake up."
"So if you know where Deng Yongmei's soul is, please tell him."
Although the mountain god is not a human, he is often worshipped by believers. Every time, believers will kneel before his statue and express their wishes. Naturally, there are many children who have begged him for their parents' good health and the recovery from illness.
Therefore, the mountain god knew that it was human "filial piety".
However, after hearing this, the mountain god just said "oh" indifferently.
"Oh, but Deng Yongmei said she doesn't want to see her son again, so she doesn't want to go."
When these words came out, Lin Xi was immediately surprised and frowned.
So this means, could it be that Deng Yongmei took the initiative to separate from her soul and didn't want her son to find her soul?
Why is this?
Lin Xi asked this question.
Unfortunately, the mountain god doesn't know the specific reason.
He only told Deng Yongmei about the prayers he heard from her on the day of the mountain sacrifice.
On the day of the mountain sacrifice, the mountain god knew that the believers in the village would come to worship him as usual, so he sat in the temple and listened to their prayers.
But with so many people coming, it was naturally impossible for him to fulfill everyone's wish. Moreover, he couldn't fulfill some people's wishes, such as longevity, wealth, etc. His supernatural power was not strong enough, so he couldn't do it at all.
All he could do was to protect the mountain and the village at the foot of the mountain as much as possible, and to ensure that everyone nearby would be safe and sound without any accidents.
However, if the person is a loyal believer, the prayer is strong, and it is within his ability, he will appropriately help the believer.
Among the people he paid homage to that day, Deng Yongmei was one of the people who impressed him the most.
He had watched Deng Yongmei grow up almost since she was a teenager. She would come to worship him every day, and the mountain god had already left a mark on her.
Deng Yongmei's prayer this time was different from all her previous prayers for vague wishes such as "safe family", "healthy children and grandchildren", and "making a lot of money". She made a particularly clear and precise request to the mountain god.
She said she wanted to "die".
Everyone has different standards for making a lot of money. For some people, hundreds of thousands or millions are considered a lot of money, while in the eyes of others, tens of millions or even hundreds of millions are considered a lot of money.
But the standard of "death" is very unified, that is, death.
The mountain god had never heard anyone ask him to die while praying, so he was naturally surprised.
At the same time, Deng Yongmei was also his loyal believer, and her requests were completely within his ability.
So he generously fulfilled her dream.
But although he did not understand the complex thoughts and emotions of humans, he knew how precious life was to humans, and Deng Yongmei might not really want to die.
Because when she prayed to him, she also asked him how to die without pain and discomfort. One could feel her fear of death from her words.
So he pulled out Deng Yongmei's soul and let her experience the feeling of "death".
After she has experienced this, she can decide whether to live or die, and then he will not care anymore.
After listening to the mountain god's story, Lin Xi had already guessed the general situation.
No one wants to die for no reason. Especially for humans who only have one life, life is more important.
However, humans are also very emotional creatures, and when they are emotionally aroused, they are likely to behave irrationally.
So Deng Yongmei would tell the mountain god that she "wanted to die", which shows that she must have encountered some kind of blow or setback, or perhaps she was angry.
Combined with the fact that she told the mountain god that she didn't want to see her son, this problem is very likely related to her son.
It seems like another family affair.
Lin Xi turned around and looked at Deng Yongmei's son and called him over.
Deng Yongmei's son was incredulous at first, but after Lin Xi nodded, he walked towards the mountain temple with trepidation.
Although he couldn't see the Mountain God, he heard what the Mountain God said during the conversation between the Mountain God and Lin Xi.
He said his mother had committed suicide and that she didn't want to see him?!
Why is this?
She couldn't figure it out.
Just when he was confused, he heard Lin Xi ask.
"Did you and your mother have any arguments on the day of the mountain sacrifice?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the man in front of him came to his senses in an instant, his eyes widened in surprise.
Just as I was about to shake my head subconsciously, something suddenly flashed through my mind.
Two seconds later, he said with a panicked look on his face.
"Master, you're not saying that my mom is so mad at me that she's almost lost her soul, are you?!"
Seeing his expression, Lin Xi guessed what must have happened that day, so he asked Deng Yongmei's son to tell him what happened that day.
Actually, this is not a big deal.
Deng Yongmei's son is called Zhang Ping. He, his wife and Deng Yongmei have always lived together.
His wife had a good temper, but Zhang Ping himself had a rather bad temper.
However, his temper came and went quickly. He was often angry an hour ago, but he would return to normal an hour later.
His mother Deng Yongmei can be said to have watched him grow up, so of course she knows his temper.
The night before, Zhang Ping told his wife that he would cook breakfast.
Since we have to go to the mountain in the morning and walk a lot, eating some rice will naturally make us more full.
My wife also got up early and prepared the rice and dishes, and made three dishes and one soup according to the standard lunch meal.
As a result, when Deng Yongmei got up, she saw dry rice, vegetables, and fried meat on the table. She had a poor appetite in the morning, and seeing these dry and greasy things made her even less willing to eat.
So she looked a little unhappy and said directly that she didn't want to eat and wanted to order a bowl of clear soup noodles herself.
When Zhang Ping heard this, he immediately felt that his mother was really difficult to please and picky.
There were so many dishes already prepared on the table, but she insisted on eating clear soup noodles. Isn't this just she is totally asking for trouble?
Besides, it’s so hot now. It would be a shame if we cook so many dishes and don’t eat them, and then they go bad.
So he told Deng Yongmei not to be picky, but to eat quickly and then go up the mountain. Otherwise, with her nagging manner, it would definitely delay their journey up the mountain.
Deng Yongmei got angry when she heard this, and asked her when she became nagging and why she was picky again!
Zhang Ping didn't want to argue with her, but when her voice got louder, and she thought about how she had to be picky and leave her rice for noodles, she got angry.
"If you're not picky, what are you?! We have vegetables and meat here, such a big table of food, isn't it good enough? I think you're just being weird, leaving the good food behind and going for plain noodles. Are you dissatisfied with us for not taking good care of you? Don't you see which elderly person is like you?"
"I have to work and take care of you every day. I don't know what I can do to satisfy you!"
"If you really feel that we haven't taken good care of you, why don't you move out and find my little sister?"
When Zhang Ping gets angry, he can say anything.
He actually didn't think about what he said, and he didn't know what he said at all. He just knew that he was angry at the moment and wanted to vent.
After saying this, he quickly finished his meal in a few mouthfuls, turned around, and went to the village entrance to gather with his things.
As for the expressions of his mother and wife in the room, he didn't want to see them.
Anyway, he knew that they were family no matter what. He was Deng Yongmei's biological son, and she was also his biological mother.
There was no way she would really leave, and he certainly wouldn't really drive her away.
He went to the village entrance and chatted with a few elderly people who had already arrived. After chatting for a while, the anger just dissipated and he didn't feel anything anymore.
By the time he got to the top of the mountain, he was so tired that he had forgotten about it.
After his mother Deng Yongmei showed up, he was so focused on her "illness" that he had no memory of the argument he had with her in the morning.
Now after hearing what Lin Xi said, he began to panic.
But he really didn't mean it, he said those words out of anger!
How the hell could he take those words seriously and become so discouraged?
Zhang Ping still had some doubts, but until the mountain god's voice came again, telling him clearly what Deng Yongmei had asked him to pray for that day, Zhang Ping shook his body violently, his face pale.
Said the mountain god.
That day, Deng Yongmei came to him to pray, saying that she wanted to die and wanted to ask the mountain god how to die without pain.
She also said that she had worked hard to raise her son, and now she was old and had no ability, so she had to rely on her son. However, in her son's eyes, she had become a burden to him. Even when she wanted to eat something, he thought she was picky and was being weird.
She felt that living like this was really boring, so she might as well find a suitable way to go while she was still able to walk a few steps.
Otherwise, you will not be able to move in the future and will have to lie in bed waiting to die.
