barren mountain.
Today is the day for Linjia Village to worship the mountain god again, and Old Lady Gongsun has already ordered people to prepare the grains and fruits and vegetables.
A large group of villagers from Linjia Village arrived in front of the temple and knelt respectfully there.
The newly arrived believers knelt behind them and, imitating the villagers of Linjia Village, bowed three times.
Grandma Gongsun expressed her gratitude at the front, and finally Lin Anniang and Ning Xiangqiao bestowed the new brocade pouches upon her.
This time, they did not prepare a magic pouch for everyone, but instead followed the list given by the Mountain Goddess.
Lin Anniang could tell that these people clearly had more respect for the Mountain Goddess.
Soon, several Linjia Village villagers who had repented, Wang Wan and Wang Qing, as well as Zhong Heng and his group, all received the brocade pouches.
Especially the group of men led by Zhongheng couldn't help but laugh.
As the green leaves flew into the brocade pouch, the newly arrived believers were all stunned.
Good heavens, this is the power that gods should have! Why didn't they know about this mountain goddess sooner and come to worship her sooner?
Many people were filled with regret, regretting that they hadn't come sooner.
"You don't need to feel regretful. As long as you sincerely believe in the Mountain Goddess, you will have opportunities in the future. Look at those guys from Linjia Village who ran away halfway. They later sincerely repented and received the brocade pouch, didn't they?"
Zhang Niangzi whispered a reminder to the newly arrived believers.
Of course, neither her son nor Wu Deyun received the brocade pouch, and Zhang Niangzi had no objection to this.
If you do something wrong, you should be punished. No matter what your son and Wu Deyun's purpose is, there is no room for discussion if they question the Mountain Goddess.
Unless they can move the mountain goddess with their actions and sincere faith.
"Everyone, listen to me!" Old Madam Gongsun spoke slowly from the front.
"The Mountain Goddess is currently quite satisfied with our actions over this period and has already distributed the rewards!"
The believers behind them cheered in their hearts.
A group of new believers were curious and wanted to know what the gods had given them, but Old Mrs. Lin never explained it very clearly from beginning to end.
After all, these people are just new believers, and their character is not yet certain. There is no need to explain so clearly. It is only when their observation period is over that they can be trusted.
Not long after, Lin Anniang went up again. She simply glanced at the group of people, and all the believers instinctively shut their mouths.
"The Mountain Goddess did indeed distribute the rewards, and they are all in my hands."
"But these rewards are not given to you for nothing. They are based on your faith in the Mountain Goddess and your contributions to the barren mountain."
"Only then can you obtain warm winter clothes and new grain seeds!"
After this explanation, the group of believers opposite all nodded.
That's definitely how it should be done. How can we give rewards to everyone who comes?
As for the new believers, they longed for it even more.
So there are benefits to believing in the Mountain Goddess?
Thank goodness they came, otherwise we would have missed so much!
After all the new believers left, a group of believers from Linjia Village surrounded them.
"Madam An, what is that magical grain seed? Can we plant it now?"
"Are you stupid? It's winter already, how can we still plant crops?"
"I'm not stupid. This was bestowed by the Mountain Goddess. There must be a reason why the Mountain Goddess is rewarding us at this time!"
"Quiet down!" Lin Anniang smashed a stone in her hand to pieces.
The group immediately quieted down.
"I will distribute the funds according to your contributions to the barren mountain. I will notify you directly when the time comes, and you can come and collect them!" Lin Anniang said calmly.
"Madam An, what exactly is this contribution?" The villagers of Linjia Village were completely baffled.
“The Mountain Goddess said that we will all live in the barren mountains, and more believers will come in the future. We need to start transforming this place now.”
"Anyone who participates in the renovation and labor can earn contribution points!"
Lin Anniang took out several blueprints.
These drawings are basic construction plans for some houses, clearly designed for barren mountains, and very much in line with the characteristics of this place.
The group looked at it for a long time, then hesitated.
"We don't know how to build this kind of house!"
The others shook their heads. They only knew how to build wooden and earthen houses like those in Linjia Village. They didn't even know how to build brick and stone houses, let alone houses with more functions and the ability to heat a kang (a traditional heated bed).
"It's okay, we'll study it slowly. It's not like we'll build it right away. There are other jobs we can do, and we can earn contribution points from them all."
Lin Anniang then took out the contribution point record sheet.
Everyone peeked over and saw that they could earn contribution points by cultivating the mountain land, and their eyes lit up.
After explaining everything, Lin Anniang asked Lin Mo, the great-granddaughter of Old Madam Gongsun, to come and help, and assigned tasks to everyone.
Linjia Village has begun a new round of reclamation of wasteland, and everyone is full of enthusiasm.
