Xu Jinhuan's voice came from the wooden sign.
When the young woman heard a sound, her face tightened. But when she looked in the direction the sound came from, she found nothing but an altar.
Could it be that the thief was hiding under the offering table?
Perhaps she could take advantage of the enemy's inability to climb out from below and escape with her son as quickly as possible...
As the woman pondered this in her mind, she also kept a vigilant look around to make sure the thief had no other accomplices.
You Jiangjin looked at his mother with a puzzled expression and pointed to the wooden sign.
"Mother, the Benevolent God is asking you a question. Please come back quickly! The Benevolent God is so kind. He has promised to help you get better, and you will be healthy from now on."
After saying that, You Jiangjin knelt respectfully on a somewhat worn-out prayer mat before his mother could stop him, muttering incantations to himself.
“Good God Jin Huan, I’ve brought my mother here. She probably hasn’t realized what’s happening yet, so please don’t blame her. Jin’er kowtows to you.”
After saying that, You Jiangjin respectfully kowtowed three more times.
The young woman didn't immediately believe the divine intervention her son had described. After a few light coughs, she whispered...
"Cough cough cough, back then, the kind-hearted god Jin Huan had already done more than enough by giving away food before the heavy rain. Why would a god like him appear in the middle of the night to cure people's illnesses?"
But seeing that Jin'er now completely believed in the existence of gods, she knew that persuasion was futile.
Therefore, the young woman carefully walked to the table where the wooden tablet was placed, gently pulled up the tablecloth, and then suddenly lifted it up.
She wanted to show Jin'er through her actions that there weren't many saviors in the world, but rather many thieves who were good at deception.
But when she turned her gaze to the space under the table, she found it completely empty; there wasn't a single person there, not even a mouse.
"Mother, what are you doing? Are there rats stealing the offerings from the benevolent deity?" You Jiangjin asked in confusion.
At this moment, the young woman was quite doubtful about life. She carefully examined the house again and found that apart from the dilapidated altar, there was really no place to hide.
"Don't bother looking, I'm right there on the altar," Xu Jinhuan said helplessly.
Upon hearing this, the young woman, like Jin'er before her, looked at the wooden plaque on the offering table with great surprise and asked in a very cautious tone, "Are you truly the God of Joy and Kindness?"
Xu Jinhuan smiled and said, "Really?"
Upon hearing this, the young woman immediately knelt respectfully on another worn-out prayer mat. "Thank you for the food you gave me. If it weren't for that food, I'm afraid I wouldn't have survived until now."
After saying that, the young woman coughed violently again, as if she was about to cough up her lungs.
“Mother…” You Jiang was full of worry. He walked to his mother’s side and patted her back to help her catch her breath.
The young woman covered her mouth with a handkerchief and coughed for a while before releasing her hand and skillfully hiding the handkerchief in her sleeve.
Even though Xu Jinhuan couldn't see it, he could tell from the faint smell of blood in the room that the young woman must have coughed up blood.
The woman patted You Jiangjin's head with a loving expression, then turned to look at the wooden sign in front of her and said earnestly.
“Benevolent God, although I don’t know what Jin’er has sacrificed to cure my illness, as his mother, I cannot just watch him sacrifice himself for me…”
Xu Jinhuan felt somewhat helpless after hearing this. Should she praise this family for their noble character, for each of them was more adept at refusing to yield than the last?
She said decisively, "You can refuse after you've finished reading this."
Xu Jinhuan directly extracted the footage of the little boy before his death and transferred it into the woman's mind.
"This, this is my son?" The woman looked at the tattered straw mat in her mind as it receded into the distance, and said in disbelief.
Xu Jinhuan said, "Yes, if you don't treat the illness, this is it."
She then added, "Moreover, I'm not strict about what I accept; I just ask this child to help me clean up here and guide the believers around here."
The woman swayed, as if she had not yet emerged from the shadow of her child's death.
After pausing for a while, she walked back to the prayer mat, knelt down before the wooden tablet again, kowtowed three times, and said, "Before this, I have a request, and I beg the benevolent god to grant it."
Xu Jinhuan replied, "Tell me about it."
The young woman patted her son's head and said, "Although this child is usually quite obedient, he is ultimately a bit careless. He certainly can't do as well as I do delicate work like cleaning the temple."
Besides, he's so young; even if he wanted to recruit followers, people might not be willing to listen to a child like him. "Good God, why don't you change the person you agreed to meet with to me?"
Xu Jinhuan chuckled upon hearing this. In fact, this was her original idea. After all, what great things could a child who was only seven or eight years old do?
"Alright, then it's your turn. Once the contract is signed, you can't go back on your word."
The woman nodded earnestly and said, "I will never regret it!"
Xu Jinhuan activated the power of faith on the wooden plaque and successfully signed a contract with the woman.
Xu Jinhuan then learned that the woman's name was Liu Qingmei.
Before Liu Qingmei could even be surprised by the sudden surge of power within her body, Xu Jinhuan began using the power of faith to heal her.
"This power of faith is exceptionally useful; when healing, it can be transformed into healing power, and when bestowing blessings, it can be transformed into blessing power."
It can even mutate into the power of curses. Doesn't that mean that as long as I'm in my temple, I'm invincible?
