Chapter 24: Legend has it that the goblin has a bad temper
This news shocked the entire Yilan Village.
"No wonder some kiwis bear fruit while others don't. So that's how it is."
"I never thought that plants also have male and female."
"It's blooming so beautifully, and it's actually a male!"
…
Of course, for fear of angering the female kiwi, the villagers only talked about it in private and did not dare to say it in front of them.
After all, when the flowers are not blooming, they can't tell who is male and who is female. What if the female hears it?
The village chief said that the goblins in the mountains all have bad tempers!
Without the goblins' intrusion, the village resumed its previous planting plan.
When Yang Xiangwei knew that they were going to reclaim wasteland and cultivate the land, she took out high-yield crops such as sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn without hesitation. As for rice and the like, she put them behind because they were not in the right season.
In addition, Yang Xiangwei also moved in chestnut trees, persimmons, bamboo shoots, etc.
When the village chief Wumu saw so many "plants", he was moved and scared.
"Lord Mountain God, what are the tempers of these people like? Are there any taboos? Please tell us everything, so that we can pay attention to it in the future..."
When they were planting Lord Kiwi before, they didn’t think too much about it. But now after seeing how powerful Lord Kiwi is, Chief Wu Mu has become cautious.
Their village is so small, and with so many "fairies" appearing, is it really impossible for them to be "offended" without paying attention?
They can avoid talking to Mr. Kiwi, but it is impossible for them to avoid all plants.
Yang Xiangwei burst out laughing and said, "These are ordinary plants, not spirits. If they were spirits, I would definitely say hello to you."
The head of Wumu Village breathed a sigh of relief, and then hurriedly made amends: "Lord Mountain God, I don't dislike the goblin adults. It's just that the village is small, and each of the adults has his or her own temper. I'm afraid that the villagers are ignorant and will offend them..."
"They have a bad temper, but they won't hurt anyone. At most, they get upset and lose their temper and give you a lesson. Look, the kiwis have been in your village for so long, and no one has been hurt, right?"
Thinking of the good-tempered Kiwi who would bear fruits for them, Village Chief Wu Mu didn't know how to refute.
Yang Xiangwei smiled and didn't care.
He kept emphasizing that "goblins have bad tempers" just because he hoped that they would have "reverence" for goblins and not offend them easily. He didn't really mean that goblins have bad tempers.
If he really had a bad temper, Green Hair wouldn't have been kind enough to "save" Tang Xiaolian, and the old deer wouldn't have come to lead the way for humans. The newly awakened goblins are like a blank sheet of paper. They do not have strong concepts of good and evil. As long as they are not provoked, they will not actively harm people.
He was not sure about the goblins in other places, but Yang Xiangwei knew that the goblins on Mount Huangshan must be like this.
Yang Xiangwei told Wumu Village Chief not to worry, as he must have had his reasons for sending her down the mountain. As long as they don't intentionally offend, goblin masters are generally very tolerant.
After hearing what Yang Xiangwei said, Wumu Village Chief finally felt relieved and took the seeds back to plant.
The people in the village had simple ideas. When they heard that the mountain god had given them a lot of "seeds", they were all very happy.
"Village Chief, how do you grow this?"
"Should this be planted around the village like Master Kiwi?"
…
What they are more curious about is whether these seeds will grow very tall overnight like the kiwi fruit.
If that's the case, won't they be able to "share" a lot of fruits soon?
After all, some people have seen that some of the seeds brought back by Village Chief Wumu are bigger than fists, and they are obviously the kind of fruits that are particularly durable.
Village Chief Wumu asked them to be quiet: "These are ordinary seeds, not fairy seeds. Our village is so small, and if we plant so many fairies, they will not be comfortable if they are crowded together."
When he heard that they were not fairy seeds, Yu Zhongdou was a little disappointed. He thought that the seeds given by the Mountain God were all fairy seeds.
What a pity!
"This one is relatively large and has a red skin, which is a sweet potato; this one is smaller and has a yellow skin, which is called a potato; this one is a yellow grain, which is called corn... These are all planted in the field."
"I'll give each family a little. Each family should send a representative to come to me to claim it."
"With the incense ash blessed by the mountain god, it will grow overnight."
"But you have to remember that you have to pick the best of the first harvest to offer to the mountain god, okay?"
…
When they heard that it could grow back overnight, everyone was excited.
"Oh my god! Ordinary seeds can grow overnight? Then, whatever we want to plant in the future, can we just add some incense ash and eat it overnight?" Someone said excitedly, "If that's the case, then why should we be afraid of famine? We don't have to be afraid of anything!"
The village chief Wumu was speechless. He pointed out Ma Laosan's name and said, "What are you thinking? This is a special situation, so the mountain god has given so much incense. Where does so much incense come from at other times? For this batch, after it is grown, half will be left for you as food, and the other half will be left for you as crops. You must farm honestly in the future, understand?"
Ma Laosan scratched his head, not quite understanding: "Why? Since the mountain god can make the seeds grow overnight, why doesn't he just let them grow all the time?"
"Why? Just relying on your few crappy offerings? Who do you think the Lord Mountain God is?" The village chief of Wumu was very disappointed. It was good enough that the Lord Mountain God could help them this time. What else did he want?
Ma Laosan muttered a few words, but Wumu Village Chief didn't hear it clearly, but from his expression he knew that he must be up to something bad.
Village chief Wumu was angry, but he still had to distribute seeds, so he didn't bother to pay attention to him and asked the villagers to come and get the seeds first.
The mountain god said that according to the number of people, each family should get 10 sweet potatoes, 10 potatoes, 20 corns, 2 chestnuts, a persimmon tree, and a bamboo shoot...
Chestnuts and persimmons are trees that can be planted in the front yard or the back yard, but bamboo shoots are special. They grow in patches. If you don’t want the entire village to become a bamboo forest, you can plan out a special place in the village to plant bamboo shoots.
Sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn should be planted in your own fields. When the sweet potatoes grow up, the vines should be moved so that they can be planted at a certain distance.
The village chief Wu Mu kept nagging, reminding the villagers not to make any mistakes.
Most of the villagers still listened, but there were always a few who didn't, such as Ma Laosan.
Village chief Wumu had expected this, and after a long time, Ma Laosan finally planted the bamboo shoots behind his house.
The head of Wumu Village was speechless for a while: "Ma Laosan, Ma Laosan, didn't I tell you that this thing grows in patches, you have to plant it together with everyone else..."
"Oh, I forgot about it." Ma Laosan said guiltily, "I've already planted it, I can't dig it out, right?"
The village chief Wumu became even angrier when he saw that he was not happy. His mother-in-law, daughter-in-law, and children were helping to cover up for him, as if they were afraid that he would dig it himself. The village chief Wumu was so angry that he cursed: "If you don't want to dig, then don't dig. If there is any problem, don't blame me!"
Just turn around and leave.
His son Wu Zhuocai rushed over and saw his father like this, and asked quickly: "Dad, what's wrong with you?"
