Chapter 34: Death
Fortunately, the village chief Wu Mu didn’t know what he was thinking, otherwise he would have definitely scolded him.
"Everyone else hopes that they won't encounter monsters, but you're the only one who hopes so, right?"
Carpenter Zhao had no choice but to go back to work in disappointment.
But Chief Wumu of the Wumu Village thought that maybe the ant monster had suffered a loss once and felt that they were too difficult to deal with, so it ran away?
When asked, Yang Xiangwei said: "..."
I'm not the worm in their stomachs, so how would I know?
However, I still remind them not to be careless. What if the other party is just "creating suspicion"?
I didn’t expect that Yang Xiangwei was right.
As mentioned before, after Carpenter Zhao and his companions learned about the existence of the Mountain God, they discussed the idea of "trading information for manpower". Carpenter Zhao stayed in Yilan Village and carved the statue of the God every day, but Xu Zhong and his companions were not idle.
Before the statue was completed, he helped to clear the land. After it was completed, he immediately ran away with the remaining adults in the village.
The village they choose first must be the one that does not have any gods worshipped. Only such a village is the easiest to "persuade".
If offerings have already been made, no matter whether the previously worshipped god is good or not, as long as one believer "complains" to the worshipper, they will be in trouble.
They just wanted to exchange information for "manpower", but didn't want to involve themselves.
"Let's go to my wife's parents' home first. It's been so many days, and it's time for me to report the death." When Lin Dashan mentioned his wife, his eyes turned red.
Xu Zhong sighed and nodded.
So, a few people went to Nanxi Village, which is the hometown of Lin Dashan’s wife.
When Mr. and Mrs. Duan saw their son-in-law with a white cloth wrapped around his head and bringing a few people to their doorstep, their originally happy expressions suddenly froze.
"What are you doing? Why are you wrapping a white cloth around your head?"
Lin Dashan knelt down on the spot and kowtowed to the two elders: "Dad, Mom, Shuangshuang is gone, my dad, my mom, my eldest brother's family are all gone... I am the only one left in my family."
Duan's mother closed her eyes and fainted.
When she woke up, she heard about the tragedy in Qinghe Village.
Not only did her daughter die, her son-in-law's family was almost wiped out, and even the entire Qinghe Village...
Heartbroken and terrified.
"How could it be? It was all right, how could it be ..."
"They were hunting wolf beasts. There were hundreds of them. They surrounded the entire Qinghe Village. Apart from me and Brother Zhao who were outside, only Xu Zhong's family escaped, and there were a few children who were hidden... The entire village was gone."
"How long has it been?"
"It wasn't long. We just hid in Yilan Village for a few days."
…
Such big news was not only known to the Duan family, but also spread throughout the entire Nanxi Village.
Everyone was shocked.
"Oh My God?!"
"Is this true? The entire village is gone?!"
"Really! People have come to report the death, at Duan Shuangshuang's home, her husband is still alive. Their village is almost gone, there are only a few people left."
"Qinghe Village is not far from our village, right? That thing, it won't come to our village, right?"
…
The village chief of Nanxi Village is called Tong Na. When he heard the villagers' muttering, he was so scared that cold sweat broke out on his back. How could he sit still? He went straight to the Duan family to inquire about the situation.
When he learned about the tragic situation in Qinghe Village, he was as terrified as other villagers.
"What should I do? What should I do?"
The two villages are so close to each other, and there is such a large group of monsters running around outside. Isn't this going to cost them their lives?
Xu Zhong quickly said: "Village chief, you don't have to be too nervous. The wolf-hunting beasts have been wiped out. They can't come to your village again."
Village Chief Tong Na was stunned: "Destroyed? Didn't they say there were hundreds of them? Who killed so many monsters?"
"God of Huangshan Mountain!"
Village Chief Tongna:? ? ? ?
"I didn't hear what you just said. Is there any mountain called Huangshan nearby?"
Xu Zhong raised his hand and pointed at the strange mountain that suddenly appeared.
Village Chief Tongna:? ? ? ? ! ! ! !
"The Huangshan you are talking about, is that the mountain?" Village chief Tong Na swallowed and felt terrified.
He knew that there were many monsters outside, but he never thought that there was such a big monster near his home.
If it can make such a huge mountain appear out of thin air, how can its ability be small?
It’s terrible!
Xu Zhong nodded.
"Then why are you telling me not to be too nervous?" Village Chief Tong Na gritted his teeth, "Are you kidding me? Is this a joke? This is a matter of life and death!"
Xu Zhong didn't understand, but still said: "Don't be nervous, the mountain god is very kind, after he was invited back to Yilan Village, he protected Yilan Village.
I saw it with my own eyes. When I was brought to Yilan Village by my nephew, Yilan Village first built a protective wall overnight, and then hundreds of hunting wolves attacked and rushed into the mountain temple...
I saw with my own eyes how the mountain god displayed his divine power and single-handedly killed all the wolves. ”
Oh my goodness!
More than a hundred hunting wolves killed the culprit of Qinghe Village. Did they just kill him directly? ! After hearing this, Village Chief Tong Na was still a little scared.
He asked Xu Zhong: "How much did Yilan Village pay to hire him?"
"You mean to invite the gods? A mountain temple, the whole village worships. Oh, by the way, the mountain god doesn't like human sacrifices. A bowl of water, a handful of coarse grains from home, an incense stick, and sincere kneeling will do."
Village Chief Tong Na suddenly raised his head and said, "No human sacrifice?! Are you sure? They helped to kill so many monsters, but they didn't even sacrifice one or two people?"
Xu Zhong shook his head: "No! Not to mention one person, there is not even half a person. Not only that, the mountain god also gave the villagers divine seeds, which were hung on the branches overnight. If you go to Yilan Village, you will see that every household has two trees in the yard, one is called chestnut and the other is called persimmon. In addition, there is a staple food. After the bulbs are planted, the vines that grow from it can also be planted. Now Yilan Village is reclaiming wasteland for farming."
"Impossible! How could there be such a good god in the world? You are lying!"
"I'm not lying. If you don't believe me, you can take the villagers to Yilan Village to see for yourself."
…
Village chief Tong Na didn't believe it, but Xu Zhong's words undoubtedly gave them a way out.
A benevolent god who does not perform human sacrifices and who also gives seeds to gods.
He is right next to the village, and all we need is a mountain temple to invite him back.
As long as all the people worship him sincerely, they can be protected by him. This is what he dreams of.
Who wants to live under the threat of monsters and get eaten if they’re not careful?
This is not the first time I have heard about what happened in Qinghe Village, and it will not be the last.
Should we take the risk of sending people to Qinghe Village and Yilan Village to check?
Village chief Tong Na hesitated for a moment.
Xu Zhong seemed to have seen through it, and said, "Village Chief, why do you think so many of us have come here? Could it be that we are just here to report to Lin Dashan and help him announce his death?"
Village chief Tong Na then noticed that it was not only Duan's son-in-law Lin Dashan who came to the Duan family to report the death, but also other people from Qinghe Village. He said, "Isn't it because numbers give courage?"
If there are many people and they encounter monsters, there is still a chance that some of them will survive.
After all, if there is only one monster, and people are running separately, it is impossible for it to chase them in the east, west, south, and north. If it wants to chase them, it will only chase them in one or two directions.
