"Your faith points have indeed increased very quickly these past few days, but that's because you've gained a new batch of believers. This rate will slow down after a while," the system reminded you.
The average person's faith value is only two or three hundred. Once it exceeds one hundred, the rate at which faith value increases will slow down.
Yu Luo was well aware of this, which is why she had Cui Ying cooperate with Magistrate Xu. Once the mountain god's school was built, it would continuously send believers to this area, making it unnecessary for Zhang Niangzi to work so hard to spread the word every day.
“The construction on the barren mountain is still too slow, and there is simply no way to accommodate more believers at present.”
Yu Luo felt that the believers on the desolate mountain side had a purer faith, and they could provide a lot of faith points every day.
But the number of people on this barren mountain is limited; we can't expect everyone to come and make bricks to build houses, can we?
Wait a minute, aren't those homeless vagrants in Zixian County all human beings?
Many people dared not go home and mostly went to other counties, including some in this remote county. Aren't all these people capable of working?
Of course, we can't let people work for free; we have to provide them with three meals a day.
Like Magistrate Xu, Yu Luo had his sights set on the group of refugees.
At this moment, the magistrate of Zi County had no idea that the problem that was causing him so much distress would soon be solved by a deity.
Yu Luo thought for a moment and gave the task to Zhang's wife, asking her to find someone to bring Feng Qingping's husband to Linjia Village.
She had only just realized that this guy had been guarded by that brown bear outside in the narrow cave for two whole days and almost starved to death.
Having received her new assignment, Zhang's wife quickly set off with renewed vigor.
Before leaving, she entrusted the task of saving the person to Lin Hu.
“Remember this: if Ma Qi doesn’t want to stay in the barren mountains and tries to take your Aunt Feng away, then don’t bother with him!” Madam Zhang also knew about those things, and she didn’t like Granny Ma either.
If it weren't for the Mountain Goddess's intervention last time, Feng Qingping might have already been buried in those coffins. What's the point of going back to this home?
After receiving the mission, Lin Hu patted his chest and assured everyone that he could definitely do it.
"Brother Tiger, who are we going to save?" some of the children from Linjia Village asked curiously.
"Just you wait, we're about to do something big!" Lin Hu said, and then turned into a white-furred tiger cub.
"Quick, let's go see what's going on!"
"Brother Tiger, your ability is amazing!" Lin Zhu curiously touched his tail.
Lin Hu jumped three feet high.
"Don't touch me like that, I can feel it!" the little white tiger grumbled, then added, "Of course I'm powerful!"
"Big sister, can I play with Brother Tiger?" The little guy looked over with his big eyes.
Lin Xiu looked at the brocade pouch on her body and nodded.
Anyway, nothing bad is likely to happen within the scope of the barren mountains.
Lin Zhu jumped up with a cheer and sat on the little white tiger.
The other children in Linjia Village were very disappointed, but they wouldn't fight with a three-year-old, so they all followed behind.
"Strange, where did everyone go?" The little white tiger jumped around, checking out every cave.
After circling around several times, they still couldn't find anyone, and the group of children looked at each other in bewilderment.
"Wait, Tiger, isn't that it?" A child pointed to a crevice in the mountainside.
The gap wasn't big; in theory, an adult couldn't squeeze through it at all, but there was an extra pair of shoes on the other side.
The soles of the shoes were covered in mud, looking like raised clods of earth; no wonder they hadn't noticed them before.
"Let's go, let's hurry over there." Lin Hu was startled and quickly led Lin Zhu, who was behind him, to help.
Lin Zhu quickly pried open the surrounding stones and pulled the person out.
"Thank you, thank you..." Ma Qi said weakly.
God knows how he's been these past two days. He's too scared to move because of the occasional noise from the brown bear outside.
When he tried to run away, he found that he couldn't squeeze out and could only stare wide-eyed at the rocks opposite him.
Someone just came by, and he heard the noise, but he had been hungry for two whole days and had no strength at all.
"Thank you." He sincerely looked up.
"You're welcome," Lin Hu grinned.
Bang.
Maqi didn't faint even after being hungry for two days, but he fainted from fright when he saw a tiger that could speak human language.
"What should we do if he faints?" another child asked.
“Aunt Zhang said that as long as he doesn’t plan to stay in the barren mountains, we’ll leave him alone and put him back,” Lin Hu said matter-of-factly.
So a group of children squatted there and waited, their eyes fixed on the unconscious man.
After a while, Ma Qi woke up again. This time he was more experienced. He looked around tentatively and found that these were all familiar faces, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
"So, you're going to take Aunt Feng away?" Lin Hu had already reverted to his original form and was staring at him.
Ma Qi nodded first, then shook his head.
He seemed to realize something quickly, and his expression suddenly became agitated: "Qingping is with you?"
…
"Qingping, your husband has come looking for you." Granny Wu arrived, but hesitated before speaking.
"Why is he here?" Feng Qingping asked in a panic.
Her husband came looking for her, but what about her in-laws? If those people take her away, will her daughter be able to stay?
These past few days have been the most comfortable days Feng Qingping has ever had. Although she has to take care of and nurse her children every day, she is happy!
