When the group and the ghost returned to the village, the sun had already set. But unlike in the morning, the village was much more lively at this time, with smoke rising from the chimneys of every household and children chasing and playing on the mountain road.

Wen Qi and his friends were discovered as soon as they entered the village. Soon all the mountain people came out of their homes and gathered in front of Wen Qi and Liu Ran.

Liu Ran subconsciously took a step back, with a look of vigilance, "What do you want to do?"

Wen Qi glanced at the person in his hand and subconsciously explained: "He was unconscious in the mountains, so I sent him back. He didn't have any external injuries, and he should be able to recover after a good night's sleep."

The mountain folks said nothing, staring at them with red eyes, until an old man with gray hair and wrinkled face shouted, "Kneel!"

Everyone knelt down in unison and began to kowtow spontaneously.

Wen Qi gasped, "What are you doing? Get up quickly!" Wen Qi put Tan Jun on the ground, took two steps forward and helped up the two elderly people in front of him one by one.

The two old men obviously didn't want to get up and were still trying hard to maintain the kneeling posture, but unexpectedly Wen Qi was too strong and maintained the posture very well. The whole person was lifted into the air with his legs still in the kneeling position.

Wen Qi took a look and didn't intend to put them down. He said in this posture: "This gift is too big, we can't afford it, everyone should get up quickly."

The two old men looked at each other awkwardly, put down their legs, stood on the ground, and began to cry, "Thank you so much! If it weren't for you, our small village would have been controlled by the evil god for who knows how many years, and we might not be free until we die."

"It's okay for us old bones, but there are still children in the village, they are so young!" The old man wiped his tears and continued: "Thank you for saving us, from now on you are the great benefactors of our village!"

As he spoke, the old man was about to kneel down again.

Wen Qi quickly stopped the people and said loudly: "We have received your thanks. Don't be so polite. This is what we should do as Heavenly Masters." After a pause, she continued: "And we are here this time because we accepted the commission from Ms. Tan Yingying. If you want to thank someone, thank Tan Yingying."

The villagers stood up one after another, and then glanced inconspicuously behind the crowd, where the Tan family's parents were standing.

Soon, the Tan family's parents pushed aside the crowd and walked towards Wen Qi. Both of them had swollen eyes, obviously because they cried too much before. As soon as they walked in front of Wen Qi, they knelt on the ground, "Thank you, Master Wen, for saving the only incense of our Tan family. Our Jun'er can't be in trouble, he is the root of the old Tan family!"

Wen Qi frowned slightly and couldn't help asking, "What about Tan Yingying? What is she?"

Mother Tan was stunned, "Yingying is Jun'er's eldest sister."

Wen Qi frowned even deeper, "Isn't she your daughter too? She disappeared for more than ten years. After she came back, you didn't even show any concern for her. You just beat her. This afternoon, Tan Yingying was kidnapped by Tan Jun, and you didn't even ask if she was scared or hurt? I feel sad for Tan Yingying for having a mother like you."

Mother Tan was silent for two seconds, then suddenly burst into tears, "What can I do? My daughter will marry someone else sooner or later. She was destined to leave this family since she was born. The person who will take care of us in our old age is Jun'er. If I don't treat him well, what will he do if he doesn't care about us when we are old?"

Wen Qi wanted to slap himself. Why waste time talking to her? This woman's mindset was completely solidified. Not to mention just two words, even if you put a knife to her neck, she might not change.

Sighing, Wen Qi said, "Forget it. Tan Yingying won't come back anyway."

Mother Tan’s crying stopped abruptly, and her lips moved as if she wanted to speak.

Wen Qi lowered his eyes, a hint of coldness in his eyes, "Don't mention money to me."

Mother Tan immediately closed her mouth in embarrassment, and Father Tan sighed heavily.

Liu Ran shouted, "Come and take your precious son back!"

Tan's parents hurried over, and with the help of Tan's mother, Tan's father carried Tan Jun on his back and walked home with difficulty.

All the villagers looked at them with unfriendly eyes.

In fact, they have been disgusted with the Tan family for a long time. Yes, the mountain is isolated and everyone relies on boys to support the family in their old age, but no one is like the Tan family, who treats their own daughter as if she were picked up and raises her. Isn't this like raising an enemy?

Now, her daughter has settled down in a big city and has even hired such a powerful Taoist priest. She must be doing very well. Unfortunately, the Tan family couple could not benefit from it at all.

Wen Qi picked up Tan Yingying and asked the villagers around him with a smile, "Which fellow villager has an empty house? We will stay here for one night and leave early tomorrow morning."

The gray-haired old man stepped forward and said, "I have it at home! Come to my house!"

Wen Qi smiled and thanked him, then asked, "What's your name, Grandpa?"

"My last name is Lu." The old man smiled and said, "I am the village chief of Shanshen Village."

"Mountain God Village?" Liu Ran looked at the old man in surprise, then glanced at Wen Qi and asked tentatively, "Does our village still worship the Mountain God?"

Village Chief Lu shook his head and said, "There used to be a custom of worshipping, but I don't know since when it was broken, and now I can't find a place to worship."

Village chief Lu recalled: "It seems that a heavy rain fell a hundred years ago, and the mud and trees on the mountain were washed down, and the whole village was submerged. There were heavy casualties in the village, and the surviving villagers moved to the current address. After that, there was no record of worshiping the mountain god."

Wen Qi suddenly realized, and then couldn't help but sigh, a small mountain god, even if he wanted to fight against the sky, he didn't have the ability to do so, but it would be okay for him to give a warning, so why was there no hint at all?

She felt that there were some key details, but the time interval was too long and the records were incomplete. Besides, the person and the god were no longer around, so it didn't make much sense to figure it out.

Wen Qi and Liu Ran looked at each other and didn't ask any more questions. It was just a melon, there was no need to trace the source.

When they arrived at Village Chief Lu's house, the village chief's family had not only cleaned the room, but also prepared hot meals.

Wen Qi put Tan Yingying on the kang and went to the dining table. After two days, I finally had a full meal. I was so moved that I almost cried. I had never found whole grains so delicious! After the meal, Wen Qi called Feng Ce - without the barrier formed by the evil spirit, the phone finally had a signal, although the signal was not very good, and the conversation was always intermittent.

The phone call lasted more than half an hour, and the total number of sentences spoken was less than ten. Each sentence had to be repeated several times before it could be heard.

Wen Qi didn't feel tired and searched all over the mountains for a signal. When he returned in the middle of the night, he still looked unsatisfied.

Liu Ran was speechless after watching this, "You can't have a love-brain."

When she went to sleep on the kang, Wen Qi vaguely felt that she seemed to have forgotten something, but the kang was too warm, and her head became fuzzy as soon as she lay down, and she fell asleep successfully in less than a minute.

Wen Qi had a dreamless night. The next day, when she woke up and looked to the side, she suddenly remembered what she had forgotten - she forgot to find a doctor to treat Tan Yingying's wound!

Wen Qi was startled and quickly reached out to touch Tan Yingying's forehead. It was cool and there was no sign of fever. Then she checked Tan Yingying's breathing and found that her breathing was steady and strong, not like she was seriously injured.

Hmm? Wen Qi was relieved but also a little confused. Is Tan Yingying's recovery ability so good? At this time, Liu Ran pushed the door open and snorted when he saw her. "You only remember to care about the wounded now. If I hadn't treated her last night, you could have dug a hole and buried her today."

This may be a bit exaggerated, but that's what I mean.

Wen Qi smiled embarrassedly and said, "I was so busy that I forgot."

Liu Ran shook her head and sighed, "No matter how you look, you can't have a love brain."

Wen Qi gave Liu Ran a big hug as soon as he got off the ground, "Luckily, Sister Ran is here. She is so reliable and reassuring!"

Liu Ran laughed and was about to speak when she heard a faint voice coming from the kang, "Yes, thank you Sister Ran for allowing me to avoid the fate of being buried in a pit today."

Wen Qi turned around in surprise, "Tan Yingying? You're awake!"

Tan Yingying closed her eyes in pain, "No, I'm going to faint from the pain soon."

Liu Ran patted Wen Qi on the shoulder and said, "Hurry up and wash up. We'll go back to the city right away. We still need to go to the hospital to check the wound on her head. She might need stitches."

Tan Yingying didn’t think the condition was serious at first, but when she heard that she needed stitches, she felt terrible and seemed like she would faint in the next second.

Seeing this, Liu Ran hurriedly comforted him, "It may not be that serious! After all, we are not doctors. We should go to a regular hospital for a check-up to avoid infection."

Tan Yingying lay on her side on the bed with her eyes closed, as if she had fainted. If you looked closely, you could see that her lips were trembling.

Liu Ran asked carefully: "How about I make you a cup of salt and sugar water? Replenish your energy first. You haven't eaten for a long time, which is not conducive to your recovery."

After a while, Tan Yingying said "hmm" softly.

Liu Ran breathed a sigh of relief and went out to get some water. She felt a little annoyed. She shouldn't have said that just now and forgot to consider the tolerance of ordinary people.

After all, it was a head injury and he had been in a coma for so long, it was normal for him to be afraid.

"well……"

After hurriedly packing up, Wen Qi and Liu Ran didn't even have breakfast. They carried Tan Yingying on their backs and rushed straight to the city hospital.

The examination was completed near noon, and fortunately the wound was not infected and only five stitches were needed.
