"Who are these people?" Old Madam Gongsun glanced at the two rather handsome young men without making a sound.
These two young men are quite handsome, and judging from their demeanor, they're not ordinary people. What are they doing in this desolate mountain?
Cui Ying quickly stepped forward and whispered a few words to the old lady.
“Grandma, we’ve come to this desolate mountain to stay for a while. We encountered bandits and hit our heads, losing our memory. We have no choice but to stay here to recover.” Gu Rui spoke first.
Le Bai nodded behind him. Although the villagers wanted him to teach the village children to read, he knew he couldn't stay there for long. Once he regained his memories, he would have to return to the family in this body.
"Boss, go and arrange accommodations for the two of them. We happen to have some vacant houses in this barren mountain, so let them stay here for now."
Grandma Gongsun replied calmly.
"As for the money to teach the children to read, let's pay the normal price, two taels of silver a month, is that alright?"
Le Bai nodded repeatedly. Since he didn't know what a normal price was, he naturally did whatever the old lady said.
After the two women and several children were taken away, the old lady smiled meaningfully.
They're staying here for a while longer. These are believers favored by the Mountain Goddess. How can we let these two leave just like that?
Once you've arrived at this desolate mountain, you can forget about escaping!
Gu Rui and Le Bai were put into a wooden house. The house had several rooms, and the younger children slept together, while the two of them each had their own room.
Gu Rui looked around at his surroundings, somewhat puzzled.
When I was in Huangxian County, I thought this Linjia Village was pretty amazing. How come they live so deep in the mountains?
Along the way, he saw many villages at the foot of the mountain, but there were not many roads in the mountains, which was very inconvenient.
However, upon arriving in this unfamiliar place, Gu Rui did not ask any questions directly. Instead, he calmly observed everything in the village.
The able-bodied men of Linjia Village seemed to have something to do and were taken away by Cui Ying, leaving only a group of elderly, weak, women and children.
If a wild animal were to rush in, the children would be the first to get hurt.
However, the adults were very strange. They ignored the children and just kept weaving, as if they had some urgent task to complete.
"Are you the newcomers? Every newcomer to Linjia Village needs to pay respects to the Mountain Goddess. I'll have the children take you there."
Ning Xiangqiao, dressed in a light blue dress, walked out of the house.
After a period of rest, her body has gradually recovered, and even her sallow face has visibly turned white. She is quiet and gentle, like a painting that has stepped out of a painting.
Gu Rui and Le Bai were surprised, then somewhat puzzled.
Paying homage to the mountain god was very common in ancient times, but why did this woman have those children escort them there? Wasn't she afraid of the danger?
As the two were speculating, Lin Zhu came out with Lin Xiu, followed by Lin Feng, who was carrying his younger sister.
Seeing these little ones, each younger than the last, with one still in swaddling clothes, the two couldn't hold back their emotions any longer.
That villager from the Lin family, how could he let such a young child lead them up the mountain?
"Uncles, are you out of energy? Do you want me to carry you?" Lin Xiu asked considerately.
The two of them: "???"
This is an act of rebellion against the Heavenly Generals!
Seeing that the two little girls were about to walk over, they quickly sped up.
"It's alright, it's alright, we can walk by ourselves!"
These children are very enthusiastic, but they're too enthusiastic. They're carrying adults on their backs with their tiny bodies!
The two were even more puzzled. They walked up the narrow mountain path and found that the two little girls who had just been carrying people were walking very fast. Even Lin Feng, who was carrying his sister, was not out of breath.
"Ya ya ya!" The girl in Lin Feng's arms made a sound, her little hand pointing at the pile of grass next to her.
The next second, the weeds suddenly shot up, spiraling towards the ground as if they were trying to escape.
"Sister Xiu, you go ahead. My little sister has found something fun again. I'm going to go check it out."
With that, Lin Feng carried his younger sister away.
"Wait a minute..." Gu Rui initially felt it wasn't good for the two children to leave alone like that, but then he thought that since they could control plants, they probably weren't in any danger, so he shut his mouth.
Behind him, Le Bai was already bewildered in the wind. What had he just seen? The grass seemed to be alive, and it even burrowed into the ground on its own!
"Guests, let's go!" Lin Xiu, acting like a little adult, led them away.
After walking a few more steps, Lin Xiu was tugged at by her younger sister.
"Sister, that stone is very flat; it's the one Mother is looking for," Lin Zhu whispered a reminder.
Lin Xiu turned her head and saw that there was indeed a very flat stone not far away, which was very suitable for use as a table or a platform to put things on.
Her eyes lit up, and without saying a word, she pulled her younger sister over.
"Let's help..." Le Bai thought that the children might hurt their feet if they moved the stones, so he took the initiative to go over and offer to help.
To everyone's surprise, the two little girls crushed the stone pressing down on them and easily lifted the huge rock.
"What did you say?" Lin Xiu hadn't heard clearly and turned to ask.
The two people behind him shook their heads in unison, incredibly quickly.
"Then let's continue!" The two little ones easily carried the stones up the mountain, without changing their speed at all.
The two people behind him hesitated to speak.
So, where exactly did they travel to? And why do these people possess supernatural abilities?
