Chapter 245 How could a stranger break in?
Under the cover of night, a quaint horse-drawn carriage slowly drove into Lanwa Town.
The wheels of the carriage rolled on the cobblestone road, making a slight creaking sound, as if afraid of disturbing the tranquility of the small town.
Inside the car, a mother and daughter sat opposite each other. The mother had a calm expression, with a hint of fatigue and alertness in her eyes; the daughter snuggled up to her mother, her small face as big as a palm was full of determination and hope for the future.
The two people were none other than Meng Qi and her daughter who had been rescued by Yang Xiangwei before.
They followed Yang Xiangwei's arrangements, dealt with their own businesses in Yanjian City, and then traveled thousands of miles to Lanwa Town.
A place where they are said to be able to settle down in peace in the future.
The carriage stopped at the entrance of a narrow street. The driver gently opened the curtain and whispered, "Madam, Miss, we're here."
Mother Meng Qi nodded slightly, took her daughter's hand, and slowly got off the carriage.
They stood at the entrance of the street and looked around. They saw the houses on both sides of the street looming in the night. Occasionally, a few dim lights shone through the windows, adding a touch of warmth to the quiet night.
Walking along the street, his footsteps were light and silent, as if he was afraid of disturbing the slumber of the small town.
They came to a small courtyard with the gate closed and a somewhat shabby lantern hanging at the door.
Meng Qi took out a key from her arms, gently opened the gate, and walked in with her daughter Meng Na.
The yard was very quiet, with only a few unknown flowers and plants swaying gently in the breeze.
The mother and daughter walked into the house. The furnishings in the house were simple and plain, with a table, a few chairs, and a slightly old bed.
Meng Qi lit the oil lamp on the table, and the soft light illuminated the entire room.
Mengna looked at this unfamiliar environment and thought of the mountain god who was so close. She felt inexplicably relieved. She turned around and said to her mother with a smile: "Mom, this will be our home from now on!"
"Yeah!" Meng Qi looked at her daughter's hopeful eyes and reached out to touch her head.
Although this decision was a little difficult, she thought she would never regret it in her life.

The next day.
Zeng Lai Fu, who was sweeping the floor in front of the mountain temple, looked up and found that a strange mother and daughter suddenly appeared on his territory.
Zeng Lai Fu's face was filled with horror, his brain racing as he wondered how these two people had managed to break in.
He did not dare to delay for even a second, and immediately shouted to his master at the top of his voice: "Master! Master! Come quickly! Something happened!"
The voice was sharp and urgent, echoing in the silent courtyard.
"What's the point of yelling? Calm down."
Doctor Qian spoke with a hint of reproach as he walked out of the mountain temple slowly.
But when his eyes fell on Meng Qi and her daughter, his originally calm expression froze instantly, and a look of astonishment appeared on his face.
He subconsciously looked up at the sky, his eyes full of nervousness and anxiety, trying to make sure the barrier he had set up was still open, otherwise how could a stranger break in? !
The doubts in my heart surged like a tide, and all kinds of speculations flashed through my mind.
"You two are..."
Doctor Qian pretended to be calm, walked quickly forward, forced a smile on his face, but stared at Meng Qi and her daughter, trying to find a clue from their expressions.
His voice trembled slightly, with undisguised surprise and vigilance, "Where are you from, and how did you get in here? You know, not just anyone can come in here."
At this time, Mona jumped out from behind her mother, her face filled with excitement and piety, her eyes sparkling.
She said loudly: "I am a believer of the Mountain God. I came here under the guidance of the Mountain God! The Mountain God told me in a dream that here is what I need and the mission I need to complete."
Her voice was clear and firm, full of unquestionable confidence.
After hearing what Mona said, Dr. Qian frowned slightly, his eyes full of suspicion.
He looked Mona up and down, thinking to himself, this girl looks young, but speaks so confidently, could this really be the guidance of the mountain god?
But this is too unbelievable. This is the barrier set up by the mountain god. Except for his believers, no one else can break in.
"Little girl, are you telling the truth? But this barrier..."
Just as Doctor Qian was about to ask further questions, Meng Qi gently pulled at the corner of Meng Na's clothes and shook her head slightly.
Mona stuck out her tongue and stopped talking.
Meng Qi took a step forward, with a gentle smile on her face, and said, "Doctor Qian, I'm really sorry to disturb you. My daughter has admired the mountain god since she was a child. Perhaps the mountain god was moved and asked us to come here. As for this barrier, we don't know what's going on. We didn't encounter any obstacles when we came in."
Doctor Qian looked at Meng Qi; her eyes were sincere and calm, making it difficult for anyone to doubt her.
But years of caution made him dare not take it lightly. He nodded slightly and said, "In that case, please rest here for a while. I have to check the barrier again. Once we confirm that there is no problem, we can have a good chat."
After saying that, he turned around and began to carefully check the surrounding barrier. After making sure that there was indeed no problem with the barrier, he brought them to the statue of the Mountain God.
The hall was solemn and dignified. Light poured in through the skylight above, casting a sacred glow on the tall statue of the mountain god.
Doctor Qian stopped and motioned Meng Qi and her daughter to come forward. He stared at them closely, trying to get some clues from their next actions.
Meng Qi nodded slightly and pulled Meng Na to the cushion in front of the statue.
She squatted down, gently helped Mona tidy up the corners of her clothes, and then she knelt on the mat.
Mona imitated her mother, kneeling properly, her eyes full of piety.
The mother and daughter picked up three incense sticks from the incense table beside them, lit them gently, and the faint smoke rose.
They held up incense and candles in both hands, their arms trembling slightly, as if carrying endless respect and expectations.
He closed his eyes and moved his lips slightly, as if he was praying silently in his heart.
Then, the mother and daughter slowly inserted the incense into the incense burner, their movements smooth and graceful, as if they had done it countless times.
…
Doctor Qian stood aside, observing their every move with interest.
He was surprised to find that the mother and daughter's incense-burning ritual was perfect. There was no fault in either the gestures or the sequence of movements, as if they had received special instruction.
For a moment, Dr. Qian was a little unsure of their identities.
How about he take out the divine seal key and give them a stamp to try?
But if that was the case, Doctor Qian was using them as bait just for the divine seal key, so he was a little hesitant for a moment.
On the other side, Yang Xiangwei was very surprised when she heard the prayers of Meng Qi and her daughter.
"They're here so soon?"
Without saying a word, he followed their incense to the mountain temple.
