Chapter 30: Chestnut Becomes a Spirit
Yu Zhongdou looked at the chestnut tree in their yard and suddenly felt afraid to bite it.
Is it going to hit me again?
The chestnut tree seemed to sway as the wind blew.
Yu Zhongdou: “…”
Who could have thought that out of all the chestnut seeds given by the mountain god, only this one in their family became a spirit?
Thinking about how he would kneel before the mountain god to "admit his mistakes" according to his parents' wishes after the sacrifice today, and how the mountain god suddenly told him the "truth", Yu Zhongdou could not look directly at the chestnut tree in his yard.
Didn't they say that we would only give you ordinary seeds?
In fact, Yang Xiangwei was also helpless.
He clearly gave ordinary seeds, so why did the other seeds have no problems, but the chestnut tree in Yu Zhongdou's family had problems?
When he heard Yu Zhongdou's words, he swept his spiritual sense into their yard and found something wrong.
[Race: Chestnut (Ordinary)]
[Gender: Monoecious]
[Level: 3/10]
[HP: 10/10]
[Spiritual power: none]
[Skills: Throwing, Entangling]
…
No, how did it become a spirit?
The seeds he gave were all ordinary seeds, right?
Looking at the "bond" between it and Yu Zhongdou again, Yang Xiangwei fell silent.
My wet cabbage hasn't even grown up yet, and it's already bending outward?

At the home of Wumu Village Chief, Carpenter Zhao was eating roasted sweet potatoes with tears in his eyes.
Wow, wow, wow… Why are the people in Yilan Village so lucky?
How come all the good things happen to them?
There actually is such a kind-hearted god in the world. Not only does he not perform human sacrifices, he also gives out gifts.
Woo woo woo…
"Are you okay?" The village chief Wumu was chewing delicious food, but when he turned around and saw the look on Carpenter Zhao's face, he was startled.
Carpenter Zhao burst into tears. He asked, "Can we ask the mountain god for help?"
"Yes, why not? Didn't Xu Zhong tell you? Our mountain god is very generous. As long as you are not a criminal, you can believe in him..." said the village chief Wumu. He thought he had bitten his tongue and was crying like this.
While chewing on the fragrant chestnuts, Yang Xiangwei silently watched as the village chief Wumu brought Carpenter Zhao and others to worship her.
【Believer: Carpenter Zhao】
【Gender: Male】
Age: 36
[Race: Human]
[Level: None (awakening...)]
【Faith Level: New Believer】
[Skill: Woodworking (Talented Skill)]
[Equipment: None]
...Looking at his innate skills, Yang Xiangwei nodded with satisfaction. Finally, there was one that could be used.
Therefore, when Carpenter Zhao finished kowtowing, he pointed in his direction, and the incense stick he had just inserted into the incense burner burned faster, and the curling smoke spelled out the word "可" in the air.
Chief Wu Mu congratulated him and he obtained the permission of the mountain god, who agreed.
Carpenter Zhao kowtowed and thanked: "Thank you, Lord Mountain God! Lord Mountain God, may you have great blessings and a long life as long as the heaven and earth!"
Whenever she heard this, Yang Xiangwei would feel awkward.
It really looks like a cult!
He had no intention of showing up, but secretly sent a message to the chief of Wumu Village: "He is good at carpentry, let him carve a few statues for me. 】
The head of Wumu Village was stunned. He wanted to say, "Lord Mountain God, we don't know what you look like. Are we going to carve your statue in the shape of a mountain?"
Then he heard Yang Xiangwei say: [Carve it into the shape of a mountain, and put up a sign in front of the mountain with the words 'Mount Huangshan God' marked on it. 】
The head of Wumu Village bowed and said, "Yes, Lord Mountain God!"
After saying that, he thought of the staple food again. "Lord Mountain God, there is one more thing. You gave us several kinds of grains before, and we planted them all. The others are fine, but each family was given ten sweet potatoes and potatoes. Even if everyone can harvest ten, each family can only have about 100 now. Even if we eat frugally, a family can only eat ten or so a day. If we eat all of them, it can only last for more than ten days. We also need to save seeds. Even if we save all of them, there are only 100 seeds. According to normal planting, it will take three or four months to harvest..."
After all, Yang Xiangwei had said before that he would only help them once, and after that they would have to grow the crops themselves.
The harvest is only once every three months, and there are less than 100 seeds, which is not enough at all.
[Didn’t I say that?] Sweet potato vines can also be grown. 】
“Sweet potato vines can be grown?!” Village chief Wumu was surprised.
【Um! For those with leaf nodes, one node can make one plant. Cut it with scissors, plow the ground, and then you can sprinkle wood ash while planting the plants. 】
Chief Wu Mu was shocked.
If he remembered correctly, when they were digging sweet potatoes today, the vines were very long.
If one leaf and one node can make a vine, then such a long sweet potato vine...
No wonder the Mountain God only gave them ten. Wumu Village Chief's breathing became rapid, and he knelt down to thank him: "Thank you, Mountain God! May you be blessed with great fortune and live as long as the heaven and earth!"
Then he asked about potatoes and corn.
Yang Xiangwei knew that he asked this question because he must be holding on to hope and thought that both were possible.
[Potatoes and corn are not acceptable.] 】
[Potatoes can only be propagated using this method. The success rate of grafting is too low, and it will be difficult for you to control it for the time being. 】
[So is corn.] 】
[But I remember that corn stalks are edible. Some corn stalks are sweet, while others are not...]
He also taught the village chief Wu Mu how to eat corn stalks.
Village chief Wu Mu felt a little regretful. He thought that potatoes and corn could also be grown on vines like sweet potatoes.
[Corn stalks can be dried and used as firewood.] 】
Village Chief Wumu: If you don't run a household, you don't know how expensive firewood, rice, oil and salt are. You say they are edible, so who would dry them and use them as firewood?
[If you raise pigs and cattle in the future, you can also use corn stalks to feed the cattle and pigs. You can also use the corn cobs you have eaten...]
Village Chief Wumu: We don’t even have enough to eat, and yet we still want to feed pigs and cows? Forget it, we’ll eat it ourselves.
[Potato plants cannot be eaten, they are poisonous. 】
Wumu Village Chief: If it's not poisonous, we'll have to try to see if it's edible. If it's poisonous, forget it...
It’s hard to explain if someone dies from eating it!
Yang Xiangwei explained a lot of things before leaving.
Village chief Wumu knelt on the spot, and only stood up slowly after making sure that the mountain god had really left.
Since Carpenter Zhao could not hear the voice of the Mountain God, he guessed that it was because of his "belief" that the Mountain God did not believe in him. However, he could hear how the village chief Wumu communicated with Lord Mountain God. He found that Lord Mountain God was quite "easy-going" and the village chief Wumu spoke very naturally.
It seems that this is really a very easy-to-talk to god!
When others were talking, he just waited quietly. The village chief Wumu was very satisfied when he saw this: He is indeed worthy of being the person chosen by the mountain god, he is sensible!
"The Lord Mountain God just told me a lot of words. You may not be able to hear them, but it doesn't matter. I will tell you." Then he told Carpenter Zhao that the Lord Mountain God wanted him to carve a statue.
Carpenter Zhao was shocked: "Me?! But...but I'm just an ordinary carpenter."
Can ordinary people carve statues of gods? That is the job of gods' messengers.
Village Chief Wumu said with certainty: "The mountain god said it himself, how could it be false? Just tell me, are you willing or not?"
Of course Carpenter Zhao agreed. He wanted to invite the mountain god to their Qinghe Village immediately and even said "yes" several times.
That is, he didn't know how to carve the statue and whether there were any taboos.
He was afraid that the mountain god would not be satisfied with his carving.
