Chapter 264 Miracle Under the Moon
That night.
When the moonlight shone, the old man saw with his own eyes the seeds he planted in the yard grow, blossom and bear fruit. He was so shocked that he was almost speechless.
“This…how is this possible!?”
His lips trembled and his voice became hoarse due to extreme shock.
His legs went weak and he almost collapsed to the ground. He could only support his body with the crutches in his hand.
Under the moonlight, the shadows of the two fruit trees swayed on the ground, as if telling this incredible miracle.
At this time, the family members in the house were attracted by the old man's exclamation and ran out one after another.
His son rushed out the door first, thinking that he had fallen down on the way to the toilet, but when he looked up, he saw the scene in front of him.
He stood there in a daze, his eyes wide open, and almost dropped the kerosene lamp in his hand.
"Dad, this...what's going on?"
He asked stutteringly, his voice full of shock and confusion.
Then, the old man's daughter-in-law and grandson also appeared at the door.
The daughter-in-law covered her mouth, her eyes full of disbelief, "Oh my God, am I dreaming?"
The little grandson jumped up excitedly and ran towards the fruit tree, shouting, "Grandpa, Grandpa, fruits, so many fruits!"
The childish voice is particularly loud in the quiet night.
Except for the ignorant children, the adults finally realized that what the girl in the dream said during the day was actually true.
She didn't lie to them. The seeds given by the Mountain God were really planted? !
"Oh my god! I thought that dream was fake!"
"Me too."
"Is this a god? It's much more powerful than that poisonous scorpion god..."
"How can the Poison Scorpion God compare to Lord Mountain God? Lord Mountain God is a god. What is that? It's just a monster!"
"The mountain god is so powerful, we must offer him more sacrifices in the future."
…
The little grandson stood under the fruit tree, looking up at the fruits on the tree, his eyes sparkling with excitement.
"Grandpa, I want to eat fruit, I want to eat fruit!"
The old man smiled and touched his grandson's head, "Okay, okay, grandpa will pick it for you right away."
As he spoke, he carefully climbed up the ladder and picked a few fruits.
The whole family sat together and tasted this magical fruit.
The sweetness of the fruit spread in their mouths, and the grace of the mountain god was deeply imprinted in their hearts.
That night, Lanwa Town seemed to be shrouded in a mysterious veil. Undercurrents surged in the quiet atmosphere. Not only the old man's family, but many families did not sleep.
On the east side of the town, Brother Zhang and his family sat in the yard. The two fruit trees that had just grown overnight cast mottled shadows in the moonlight.
Zhang's wife gently stroked the tree trunk, her eyes full of surprise and confusion: "Master, how can the power of this mountain god be so miraculous? This fruit tree grew so big overnight and is full of fruits."
Brother Zhang took a puff of his pipe and slowly blew out a smoke ring, his expression solemn and a little awed: "This is the mountain god blessing our Lanwa Town. In the future, we must go to the mountain god temple more often to burn incense. We must not forget this kindness."
The children nearby were running around excitedly under the fruit tree, clamoring to eat the fruit, and their clear laughter broke the tranquility of the night.
On the west side of the town, the lights in Aunt Li's house were still on.
Aunt Li sat by the bed, holding the incense ashes she had obtained from the mountain temple during the day, and muttered to herself, "I just did what the girl said and buried the ashes and seeds together. I didn't expect such a magical thing to happen."
Her husband sat beside her and said thoughtfully, "It seems that this new god is really different from the previous ones. He really protects us ordinary people."
The two of them talked to each other, and although their voices were not loud, they were full of longing for future life and gratitude to the mountain god.
There were also some young guys gathering in the streets and alleys, having heated discussions.
"Tell me, what other abilities does this mountain god have?"
"Who knows? Maybe in the future our Lanwa Town will have good weather and good harvests, and life will get better and better."
"As long as He doesn't eat humans, I'll be thankful."
…
However, what they didn't know was that there was an even bigger surprise waiting for them.
When dawn broke and the first ray of sunlight shone on the roofs of Lanwa Town, Aunt Sun got up early as usual and prepared to fetch water.
She knew there was no water in her own well, but she still habitually carried the bucket and walked around there, then went to the river behind to fetch water.
The river is almost dry, and I don’t know how long it can last.
However, as she was carrying the bucket past the well, she suddenly felt something was wrong. Why did she feel there was something in the well, which should have been pitch black?
I looked down and was shocked.
The well, which had been dry for a long time and had cracks on its walls, now had the sound of gurgling water.
The clear well water sparkles under the sunlight, like a mirror.
“This…what’s going on?”
Aunt Sun murmured to herself, her voice full of confusion and surprise.
With trembling hands, she put down the bucket and quickly fetched another bucket of water.
The well water was cool and sweet. She couldn't help but take a sip. The coolness went down her throat and went straight to her heart, making her feel refreshed.
It’s not a dream? !
Just then, a noisy voice came from outside the house, and someone shouted at the top of his voice: "There is water in the river in the town again!"
When Aunt Sun heard this, she didn't even bother to put down the bucket in her hand and ran out of the house in a hurry.
I saw that the streets were already full of people, all rushing towards the river, their faces filled with excitement.
Aunt Sun followed the crowd to the riverside and saw that the river, which was originally dry and full of silt, was now flowing with water.
The river is rushing and flowing happily, splashing white water.
Children laughed and played by the river, while adults stood by, marveling at the sight.
"What on earth is going on?"
"Our river is almost dry, how come there is so much water overnight? Even if it is not dry, the water shouldn't come so quickly, right?"
"Could it be that this is the work of the mountain god?"
"…Impossible? He is not the God of Water!"
…
It was not until later that they learned that the God of Mountain had a subordinate god named Lord River God who controlled the rivers.
The mountain god sensed the plight of water depletion in Lanwa Town, so he arranged for the river god to use his divine power to gather clear springs in the mountains and bring in fresh water.
Of course, this is just a "legend".
After all, Lord Ruhe is still in seclusion.
The truth is, Yang Xiangwei took over the River God's power and brought in the living water.

"Are you serious?!" A ragged refugee grabbed the person next to him and asked.
This man has relatives in Lanwa Town. He used his connections to enter the town a few days ago. He came out today to pick up his family.
I didn't expect that as soon as he came out, he brought such big news to everyone.
"Impossible? Didn't they say before that Blue Tile Town has also dried up and people are not allowed to enter the town?"
"Yes, my neighbor was recruited by a caravan because of this. His whole family went there, and I don't know how they are doing now."
"Alas...if there is a way to survive, who would be willing to sell themselves at such a low price?"
"that is!"
…
Tu Fu, who was being held back, said anxiously, "It's true! I didn't lie to you. There is really water in the town. The river is clear. I saw it with my own eyes."
"How is this possible?!" A man squeezed in and said, "I went in there a few days ago and there was no water in the river at all."
"I'm not lying to you! That happened a few days ago, and this happened in the past few days. I heard from my relatives that it was because a mountain temple was built in their town, and the mountain god sensed that they had no water, so he gave them water. Not only that, he also gave them two magical seeds, and as soon as they were planted, they grew overnight, full of fruits..."
