Chapter 62: The Shabby Land Temple
"The kid has a strong sense of law! What's your name?" Mu Jiu asked with a smile.
She was just asking casually, why are you so nervous?
The child said proudly, "There's nothing I can do, Boss Qi is so outstanding!
He made this business so successful that there were too many people who were jealous of him and always wanted to bring him down.
But everyone in our village knows that apart from him, no one will be kind to the old, weak and sick people in the village, so everyone has to protect him!
And my name is He Li, I’m not a kid anymore! "
When he finished speaking, he looked up and saw the white dress appear above Mu Jiu's head...
He Li was so frightened that he couldn't close his mouth, his teeth began to chatter unconsciously, and his eyes slowly looked up...
Soon he came face to face with the female ghost who had only half of her face left!
Because half of her face was missing, her teeth and nose bones were exposed. There was even an unknown soft and sticky thing that was drilling in and out of the black holes in her back teeth...
“Strange, strange, strange, ah——! Strange…”
He Li yelled several times in succession, then suddenly hugged Mu Jiu's arm, closed his eyes tightly, and muttered something...
Mu Jiu didn't move, but in the quiet night, what He Li was muttering made everyone present laugh!
"Maka, Baka, Aka, Waka, Mika, Maka, Hmm..."
"Maka, Baka, Aba, Yaka, Ika, Aka, Oh..."
The Great Compassion Mantra that Aiwen sang in the hospital cafeteria still lingered in Mu Jiu's mind for a long time, and now there was a Garden Baby...
Cough cough——!
"He Li, the dirt is gone, you can let go."
Mu Jiu stretched out a finger and tapped He Li's arm. This guy must be an ostrich, probably believing in the principle that if you don't listen or see, you won't die...
However, just now, when He Li suddenly rushed over and hugged her, the barrier suddenly expanded twice as large!
All the monsters surrounding them were killed instantly, and several monster beads dropped at once.
But this guy seemed to feel nothing and continued to sing Makabaka to drive away the fear in his heart.
Xiao Huang couldn't bear it anymore and stepped forward to pull He Li away.
"Alright, alright, it's already turned to ashes, let me go! Come on, let go!"
He Li didn't believe it, so he hugged Mu Jiu's arm tightly and slowly opened one eye!
Hey! It's gone! In the darkness, as far as I can see, there's really no strange figure in sight!
"Why don't you let go!" Xiao Huang was unhappy.
"Oh! Oh, okay!" He Li said, touching the back of his head.
"If you are scared again, just hold my arm and don't bother my master! Do you hear me?" Xiao Huang warned.
In fact, that’s what He Li did!
Xiao Huang was so tall, he wanted to hide in Xiao Huang's arms and let him carry him forward! It was too scary outside!
Ding Dang followed behind and couldn't help but teasingly said, "Keep singing, don't stop, it sounds pretty good!"
The five of them chatted and laughed all the way until they arrived in front of the land temple where a big bonfire was burning.
However, the land temple here is not quite the same as the one in the minds of Mu Jiu and others.
The land god who manages the land is sitting in a small house that has no door and is only as tall as a person.
In Mu Jiu's imagination, at the very least, the land god should be seated in a large house with a courtyard, like the Wang Family Ancestral Hall...
How can it be so shabby!
Even the lime applied on the brick wall at the door had been scraped off by the unfortunate child, and fingernail marks could still be vaguely seen.
The land god sitting inside is even more outrageous, the color of the statue's clothes is about to fade...
Well, that’s not right. Someone touched it and it was gone!
The incense burner placed in front of the land god was filled with incense sticks of various sizes, and the burnt incense ashes overflowed from the incense burner and fell to the ground.
It seems that the local land god is very busy on weekdays! He is so rare!
Because of the popularity of incense, even though it is just such a simple and small temple, it has opened up a small hemispherical barrier with a radius of about 30 meters to protect the people here.
But what surprised Mu Jiu even more was that the land temple was now surrounded by men and women, young and old.
Within the hemisphere of the land temple's barrier, there was a large fire burning in each of the four directions of east, south, west and north, and each fire was surrounded by people!
In addition to the fifty or so strong men who surrounded Mu Jiu and the others in the middle of the greenhouse at noon, there were also many women, elderly people and children here.
At a glance, there should be no less than a hundred people!
This is the first time I have seen so many living people since the horrific apocalypse!
Seeing Mu Jiu and the others coming, Qi Nian didn't seem surprised.
He had long guessed that this group of people were capable, otherwise how could they come to their area.
As soon as Mu Jiu and his companions entered the barrier circle of the land temple, Qi Nian immediately asked his men to bring over bags of fruits.
Pile it up in front of Mu Jiu.
He also asked someone to bring a scale and weighed them one by one.
Fortunately, these commonly used tools had just been used on the day of the apocalypse, and people were too lazy to clean them up, so they were just thrown outside carelessly, which made them convenient for use after the apocalypse.
Mu Jiu asked Xiao Huang to come over and watch the scale weighing and counting.
By the way, randomly check the appearance of the fruits. After all, these are for them to eat, so we can't be careless.
The total weight is 101,000 kilograms. Excluding the sackcloth bags, it is about 100,000 kilograms of fruit.
I checked it out, and apart from a few indentations, it's basically big and beautiful!
These include apples, tangerines, oranges, pears, peaches, cherries, dates, blueberries, pomegranates, and many more.
According to the previous agreement with Boss Qi, 100,000 kilograms of fruit will be exchanged for one day's food for 100 people.
Mu Jiu waved his hand and released rice, pork, cabbage, tomatoes and eggs directly from the space next to the piles of fruit bags.
"Boss Qi, please come and check the quantity. Here are 20 kilograms of pork thighs, 50 heads of Chinese cabbage, 50 kilograms of rice, 100 tomatoes, and 100 eggs.
That's sincere enough, right? How to arrange the meals is up to you guys!"
After Mu Jiu and the others raided Wangjia Village, all the meat became free.
The tens of thousands of chickens they collected can now produce at least 8,000 eggs every day, and they can never eat all the eggs.
The cabbage and tomatoes were just picked today, and you can’t finish them even if you get tired of them.
The only thing Mu Jiu hadn't stocked up on was rice, so she was in a hurry to finish cleaning up here and quickly go to the next destination.
She could feel that the space had begun to automatically sow crops such as rice, wheat, and corn, but she didn't know how long she would have to wait before she could eat them.
When people here saw Mu Jiu turning into a pile of objects out of thin air, they didn't react much.
After all, I have seen ghosts, so what is impossible?
"Deal, I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation in the next few days!" Qi Nian extended his right hand towards Mu Jiu.
Mu Jiu smiled and stretched out his right hand, gently holding Qi Nian's. "Happy cooperation!"
Immediately, the dragon tattoo on Mu Jiu's right index finger lit up instantly, emitting a light that only she could see...
