Chapter 37: Dark Air
"Yilan Village is just ahead. When you get there, you will see Master Kiwi at the entrance of the village. Please be polite. Master Kiwi has a good temper, but he is also a demon. You must not offend him..."
Xu Zhong reminded them that he was afraid that the people in Nanxi Village did not know the rules and would provoke someone they shouldn’t, which would be difficult to deal with.
Village chief Tong Na responded and turned around to tell the villagers to be more honest. When he looked up and saw the Sun family who had been accompanying him all the way, he became angry again.
However, just as the group approached the village, the originally quiet kiwi suddenly swelled up, with its flying branches and leaves baring their fangs and claws, as if threatening something.
If you look closely, you can see them trembling slightly, as if they were both shocked and afraid. But because they were planted in the same place and had no legs, they could only demonstrate helplessly in the same place.
I don’t know if the thing frightened them or not, but the villagers of Nanxi who were about to enter the village were frightened. They immediately stopped and dared not move forward.
Village Chief Tong Na quickly asked Xu Zhong: "This, this, this... is this Mr. Kiwi? Are they... normal?"
Xu Zhong was also startled and said uncertainly: "I don't know, it wasn't like this before."

Upon hearing the call, Yang Xiangwei instantly arrived in Yilan Village.
When he saw the black air rising into the sky, he knew that the problem was probably quite serious. No wonder Kiwi was so scared and called him so quickly.
[There is something at the entrance of the village!] 】
Village chief Wumu was working in the fields. He suddenly heard Yang Xiangwei's voice and trembled all over.
After realizing it was the Mountain God, he breathed a sigh of relief: "The entrance to the village? What is that? A monster?"
[I'm not sure. Kiwi told me that it was brought back by villagers holding my statue. I guess it was Xu Zhong and the others who came back. 】
Could it be that something happened to Xu Zhong and the others? The village chief Wumu's heart skipped a beat and he quickly called his son and led the young people in the village to the village entrance.
As soon as I arrived at the entrance of the village, I saw kiwi branches all over the sky. I was a little confused: "Lord Mountain God, Lord Kiwi, what's wrong with this?"
I almost said, are they crazy?
Yang Xiangwei said: [The threat outside is too great, Kiwi is scared and is trying to find a way to intimidate the other party. 】
Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Kiwi! Village chief Wu Mu breathed a sigh of relief, as long as it wasn't directed at them.
Wu Zhuo and others who were accompanying him looked in the direction where the sound came from and watched silently for a long time: How does the village chief know that the mountain god is here? They didn’t see it!
If Chief Wu Mu knew what they were thinking, he would be absolutely speechless.
Isn't this nonsense?
The entire village is under the protection of the Mountain God, so the Mountain God must be everywhere.
When Xu Zhong saw Wu Mu Village Chief and the others, he hurried forward, but he took just one step when Kiwi went crazy, forcing him to stop and retreat, shouting at the top of his voice: "Village Chief, it's us... What's wrong with Master Kiwi? Why is it angry?"
You can’t say “crazy”, but you can always say “angry”, right?
The head of Wumu Village ignored him and asked Yang Xiangwei, "Lord Mountain God, if we go over now, we won't be accidentally injured by Lord Kiwi, right?"
Yang Xiangwei: [No, you guys go over there, but don’t go too far away from Kiwi. I can’t get out. If you go too far away, Kiwi can’t protect you, and I can’t do anything about it either. 】
Village chief Wu Mu stopped at the entrance of the village, just under the outstretched branches of Mr. Kiwi, although he was still a little scared and worried about being injured by mistake.
But since the mountain god said so, there must be no problem.
Wu Zhuo and others followed.
Village Chief Wumu: "What did you bring back? Lord Mountain God said that it was the things you brought that scared Lord Kiwi. Lord Kiwi is not angry, it is protesting."
Xu Zhong was confused: "We didn't bring anything. We only brought people from Nanxi Village... Could it be that there are too many people from Nanxi Village?"
He quickly explained to the village chief of Wumu that it was not that he wanted to bring so many people, but that when they went there, a monster happened to attack the village. They drove the monster away last night, but they didn't know when it would come back.
So for safety reasons, we brought them back together.
Village chief Tongna also quickly stepped forward and explained to Village chief Wumu that they really had no other intentions and just wanted to come here to hide away in peace and discuss the matter of "inviting the gods".
Yang Xiangwei was right beside them, so she heard everything clearly. She said to the village chief of Wumu, "They must have brought something. The sky is overcast, so this thing must be something special." Ask them what they brought and see if there is anything unusual. 】
Village chief Wu Mu was not sure what was considered unusual, but he still followed Yang Dewei's instructions and asked Village chief Tong Na what they had brought.
What did you bring?
Of course, clothes, quilts, pots, pans, food and the like. Village chief Tong Na said them one by one.
Yang Xiangwei: [Let them bring the things they brought to the front so I can take a look. 】
The head of Wumu Village said, "The mountain god wants you to bring the things you brought to the front so he can take a look."
The villagers of Nanxi Village were immediately dissatisfied and very suspicious. Perhaps the villagers of Yilan Village wanted to see what they had brought and asked them to hand it over?
They brought all their belongings with them.
Village Chief Tong Na was also a little worried and asked cautiously, "Do I need to hand over something to enter your village?"
The village chief Wumu was speechless. He wanted to say that it was not necessary to hand in the gifts, but after thinking about it, he felt that the other party's words were wrong, so he immediately changed his words: "If you want to enter our village, you must hand in the gifts. Our village is protected by the mountain god, and we can't let you in for free."
Village Chief Tong Na immediately looked at Xu Zhong: "You didn't say your village was going to collect things?"
Xu Zhong: “…”
How would I know? I didn't ask for it when I went out.
Then, the village chief Wumu said, "It has just been decided that everyone, regardless of gender, age or status, will receive a ration, and the elderly and children will receive half the ration. As for the rest, you must abide by the rules of our Yilan Village and not steal or rob. If you want to stay in our village, in addition to the consent of more than half of the people in our village, you also need the consent of your own people..."
Sure enough, when Village Chief Wumu said this, although the people of Nanxi Village across the street had some objections, they also breathed a sigh of relief and began to discuss with Village Chief Wumu whether they could collect less "food rations".
Wumu Village Chief: "..."
He knew that if he didn't accept anything, the other party would definitely be suspicious.
Finally, they calculated the food rations for a family of three or five and paid the "village entry fee" at half the rate.
It was not until then that Village Chief Tong Na felt at ease and asked the villagers to send the things to the front for the Yilan villagers to review.
Yang Xiangwei: [No, the thing is not among these things. Ask them if they have handed in everything and if there is anything else unusual. If not, let them line up and come forward so I can look at them one by one. 】
Village chief Tong Na was a little unhappy. He felt that there was something wrong with the people in Yilan Village. After looking at the things, why did they have to look at the people?
But looking at the tree branches reaching into the sky and the monster behind him that appeared out of nowhere, he could only endure it and asked the villagers to line up and come forward.
Because his son carried someone on his back, Village Chief Tong Na asked him to line up in front.
[Wait, it’s him!] 】
The village chief Wumu immediately stopped the car and asked who the person in front was.
Village Chief Tongna: "It's my son!"
