As they had agreed to go up the mountain, Li Mengyue didn't want to delay and was about to take people with her.
Mrs. Li came over with something and said calmly, "Yueyue, these are the pancakes that I made for you. They're still warm. Eat some first to fill your stomach. I'll make you wild boar meat when you come back."
Li Mengyue saw that her mother clearly didn't want her to go and was obviously very worried. In order not to embarrass herself, she pretended to be relaxed, and her cold heart softened again.
"Thank you, mother. I'll wait for the meat."
After Li Mengyue and Li finished talking, they turned around and left with their men.
This time, the group brought were the sixty people who followed Li Ang. Li Zhuang and others stayed behind to help deal with the wild boar.
As the afterglow of the setting sun spread across the earth and dyed the sky a warm orange-red, Li Mengyue brought people back from the mountains again.
This time, in addition to bringing back all the people who stayed on the mountain, they also brought back a giant snake and ten wild boars.
Since everyone had seen wild boars before, they were not too surprised, but the giant snake shocked many people.
"Ah, big...big snake."
"Such a big snake must have lived for who knows how many years."
"Woo..."
Many timid women and children were frightened and cried.
"If you are scared, don't look here. Go home quickly." The village chief was also frightened when he saw the giant snake, but he still suppressed his fear and stayed in the threshing ground.
When everyone was looking at the giant snake from afar, suddenly this sentence was heard from the crowd.
"Li Mengyue has offended the Mountain God, and the Mountain God is going to be angry."
This sentence was like a bomb thrown into the crowd, and everyone immediately started talking.
"I've lived for most of my life, and I've never seen a snake this big. The older generation said you can't hit a snake, or you'll suffer retribution."
"Really."
"Of course, everyone just wait and see. Li Mengyue has offended the Mountain God, and she will definitely be retaliated against."
"Will Li Mengyue's living in the village bring trouble to us?"
"Of course I will."
"No, I'm going to find the village chief and ask him to kick him out of the village."
…
Li Mengyue heard everything that was said in the crowd clearly, but she stood there and said nothing.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Have you forgotten that if it weren't for Miss Yue, you wouldn't even have enough to eat? Now you have the energy to spread rumors here. I think you are just bored."
When the village chief heard this and saw that Li Mengyue did not move, it did not mean that he would tolerate anyone slandering Yue girl.
Regardless of whether Yue Yatou is the noble person that the ancestors mentioned, just because of the locust business she made and the fact that everyone in the village has enough food to eat, he will protect Yue Yatou.
"Village chief, Li Mengyue has offended the mountain god. You must drive her out immediately. She can no longer stay in the village." Wang Lai's wife Liu said gritting her teeth.
Village Chief Li would not argue with a woman. He said to Wang Lai in the crowd, "Wang Lai, if you can't manage your wife well, you should not live in the village anymore."
After saying this, he looked at the other six village chiefs and said apologetically, "I'm sorry to have made a fool of myself in front of you."
"Old Li, what are you talking about? There are always some unreasonable women in every village. We understand."
Wang Lai heard the village chief call his name again and say that he could not stay in the village. He realized that the village chief was serious.
