Chapter 10 This is retribution (new book looking for sponsors)
Yang Xiangwei did not choose to cultivate the young ginkgo trees, mainly because she felt that they were too young and not as mature as their parents.
He needed a mature ginkgo tree to lead the ginkgo clan, so he chose their mother - Ginkgo.
Some people may ask, why is it “mother” instead of “father”?
Because ginkgo trees are different from other plants, they are dioecious.
Therefore, the big silver tree that gave birth to the little ginkgo is the "mother" rather than the father. If you see a flowering ginkgo tree in nature, be careful, the light yellow inflorescences are not from the mother tree, but from the father tree.
The mother ginkgo tree does not have an obvious petal structure, and usually has two embryos that grow naked in the leaf axils at the top of the short branches. When the wind blows and brings the father's pollen, the exposed embryo will grow into the fruit of the ginkgo tree.
Unfortunately, the small ginkgo trees that Yang Xiangwei moved came from the same mother but not the same father. There were several male ginkgo trees around them that were smaller than them. It was unclear which animal brought them from somewhere else, took root there, and formed their current appearance.
When Yang Xiangwei saw it, she chose to cultivate the ginkgo mother without any hesitation.
Spread your hands!
It’s hard to deal with too many fathers.
But it’s different for the mother. No matter whose children the little ginkgo trees belong to, they are definitely the children of the mother ginkgo tree.
As a goddess, Yang Xiangwei is so willful.

The movements of the Zhu and Lu families could not be hidden from the villagers at all.
What's more, there were a few gangsters like Yu Qing who were hanging around all day long. After their two families went up the mountain a few more times, they attracted their attention.
In addition, the Zhu and Lu families also have their own relatives and friends. Once they have filled their own stomachs, they cannot just watch their relatives and friends have their stomachs full. Therefore, within a few days, more and more people began to go to Huangshan.
“It’s too dangerous!”
"What's wrong with being dangerous? There are monsters everywhere. If you want to fill your stomach, you have to take risks."
"Besides, if you venture into other places, you may not have food. But it's different on that mountain. There's food everywhere. As long as we're careful and don't attract the attention of monsters along the way, we can bring back several days' worth of food in one day."
…
When people think about the fact that they can bring back several days' worth of food in just one day, almost no one can sit still.
What they didn’t know was that the monsters followed people, and as they ran towards Huangshan more and more often, the monsters would follow them here.
Therefore, the road gradually became unsafe from being safe at the beginning. When they appeared on the road again, they were blocked by the monsters that had been waiting for a long time.
"Help!"
"There's a monster!"
"mother!"
"son!"
…
Aunt Zhu was terrified and pulled her grandson into the bushes nearby and ran away frantically.
She was telling Grandma Xiaolian yesterday that so many people from the village went to Mount Huangshan to pick fruit, and she didn't know if the mountain god would be angry. She didn't expect that "retribution" would fall on them so soon.
She had long told them to be more restrained, to be more restrained, and not to pick things from other people's mountains without the permission of the mountain god, but they didn't listen.
One passes to two, two passes to three.
Now the mountain god is angry and has sent monsters to capture them, right?
Aunt Zhu had no other thoughts. She wanted to run to the mountain god immediately to confess her sins and ask for his forgiveness.
Yu Qing had sharp eyes. When he saw Aunt Zhu running up the mountain, he knew she had a trick, so he quickly followed her.
Aunt Zhu was panting and was about to approach the barrier. She shouted, "Lord Mountain God, spare my life!"
"Lord Mountain God, spare your life!"
…
Green Hair was patrolling the area. When he heard the sound, he looked puzzled.
When it saw that they were Aunt Zhu and her grandson, it quickly flew to the edge of the barrier.
"Auntie Zhu, what are you doing? How did you make the mountain god angry?"
When Aunt Zhu saw it was it, she immediately knelt down in front of it with her grandson and said, "Lord Green Hair, this is all our fault. We shouldn't have taken advantage of the generosity of Lord Mountain God and recklessly brought so many people up the mountain to pick fruits. Please help us beg Lord Mountain God to forgive us this time."
The mountain god is not angry! The mountain god wishes more people would go up the mountain. The more people go up the mountain, the more people will believe in him, and he will have more believers. How could he be angry?
Green Hair said: "Who told you that the Mountain God was angry? Were you deceived?"
"The mountain god is not angry?" Aunt Zhu was shocked. "Then...what about the monster under the mountain?"
Green Hair understood instantly: "You encountered a monster?! That's your own bad luck, it has nothing to do with Lord Mountain God."
"What?! Then...what should we do now? There are so many people downstairs..."
“Lord Mountain God can’t do anything about it. If you were inside the barrier, we would have a way to save you, but you are outside the barrier…” The green-haired creature stretched out its claws in the barrier, using its actions to tell Aunt Zhu that it was not that they didn’t want to save you, but they were powerless to deal with things outside the barrier.
"You see, we can't get out at all." Green Hair retracted his claws and continued, "So, we have long advised you to move to Huangshan, but you didn't listen. You insisted on not leaving the little rubbish at the foot of the mountain. Now, you are blocked by monsters on the way, right?"
Aunt Zhu's eyes were red. Thinking of the group of villagers being chased by monsters and her son and daughter-in-law, she gritted her teeth and pushed her grandson into the barrier.
She said to Green Hair, "Lord Green Hair, I'm leaving my grandson in your care. I...I'll go save them!"
Green Hair was surprised: "You go to save them? How do you save them? You are just an ordinary person, can you beat the monsters?"
"I can't defeat them, but I can notify them and let them run to the mountain..." As long as they run fast enough, as long as they can run into the barrier, they can survive.
Aunt Zhu really couldn't bear to see all her familiar neighbors die here. Many of them went to the mountain because of her family. If they all died, she would not be able to see their ancestors in the underworld.
Even if the villagers do not have the same surname, they are more or less related.
Grandson Zhu Xiaohai almost cried: "Grandma..."
"Be good! Listen to grandma and follow Mr. Green Hair. Xiaolian is still inside. Grandma will go to pick up your parents. Be obedient, Xiaohai..."
Children from poor families mature precociously. Zhu Xiaohai, who is no longer three years old, knows that he doesn’t know if his grandmother will ever come back after she leaves.
He sat inside the barrier and started crying loudly.
Aunt Zhu felt distressed but did not look back.
"Lord Green Hair, there are still us. Please save us. We don't want to go down the mountain. We want to enter the barrier..." Yu Qing watched Aunt Zhu go down the mountain and quickly jumped out.
Green Hair recognized Yu Qing at a glance. He remembered that this guy was the one who bullied Tang Xiaolian, a little girl, and forced her to find food for him, a grown man. He was so angry that his teeth were itching.
I didn't expect this guy to be delivered to me so soon.
"Okay, come in."
