The system silently disappeared again.
She glanced at the system that had smoothly exited the system, pretending not to see it.
Floating above the statue, Yu Luo wondered, "Old Lady Gongsun has heard stories of false gods and even witnessed them herself. She should be wary of such supernatural events. Why then did she bring the villagers of Linjia Village here? Isn't she worried that she herself is a demon and might harm Linjia Village?"
The faith points the old lady offered were not faked.
Perhaps at the very beginning, Old Lady Gongsun was gambling?
…
Inside the old house, Lin Anniang and Ning Xiangqiao had already passed away.
As the two left side by side, Lin Anniang casually mentioned Lin Genzhu.
"What's wrong with him?" Ning Xiangqiao was doing embroidery in the next yard and hadn't heard anything.
Lin Anniang said in a light tone, "He lost money gambling again, got beaten up, and was thrown out. He's still dizzy."
Ning Xiangqiao wrinkled her nose after hearing this: "What a pity."
Lin Anniang asked in confusion, "What's a pity?"
Could it be that Xiang Niangzi still has feelings for him?
Ning Xiangqiao clenched her fist: "It's a pity those people didn't just kill him outright!"
Lin Anniang couldn't help but laugh.
The two walked further and further away, and Old Lady Gongsun sat in the courtyard, watching them gradually disappear into the distance.
"Mom, it's time to rest," an elderly woman from the next room came over and reminded her.
Grandma Gongsun smiled again: "Child, we made the right bet!"
Having witnessed those evil spirits and being frequently warned about them as a child, how could she not be wary of such beings?
Many people in the know are afraid of those evil spirits lurking in the shadows, believing that these beings only bring harm to people's lives.
But Grandma Gongsun had another amazing experience that she didn't tell anyone: besides the village that granted children, she had also been to other places.
In the past, famine years were frequent, and Grandma Gongsun had lost contact with the villagers of Linjia Village and wandered to other places alone.
She once visited a seaside village where people also believed in a "demon," but this demon did not harm anyone; instead, it silently helped the villagers.
Old Lady Gongsun had never seen the evil spirit that brought children to the state, but she had seen the evil spirit worshipped in the village.
That guy was all black, looked like a human and a fish at the same time, and sometimes he would rescue villagers who had fallen into the water.
She was saved by that "evil spirit" and only then was she lucky enough to escape with her life.
Although the "evil spirit" needed to eat raw meat and blood at every meal, the people in that village were not afraid at all. They would voluntarily use the fish they caught to trade with outsiders for fresh beef and mutton to offer to the evil spirit.
Although the scene was very eerie, the whole village was still very harmonious.
Grandma Gongsun lived there for more than half a year, but unfortunately she left after her injuries healed, and was unable to witness the later development of that village.
This miraculous experience also gave her a deeper understanding of the legendary "demons and evil spirits".
Not all "demons and evil spirits" are harmful; some of them can coexist peacefully with humans.
So when she heard that various disasters might happen in the future, her first thought was of these evil spirits.
If those disasters were bound to happen, why couldn't she lead Linjia Village to live together with a demon and benefit each other?
She can make the villagers of Linjia Village hunt every day to prepare the things this evil spirit needs in advance.
This evil spirit will then need to help the villagers of Linjia Village in the various disasters to come.
This idea had been brewing in her mind since the old lady Gongsun left Chongzhou and returned.
She thought this was wishful thinking; there were so few kind-hearted evil spirits, how could she possibly encounter one?
However, after returning, Old Lady Gongsun listened to the rumors in the village, witnessed the strange strength of Lin Anniang and her two daughters, and later observed the changes in Ning Xiangqiao and the two children. She was overjoyed.
She found this soft-hearted "demon"!
No, how could someone possess such divine power and easily deal with the existence of "clones" be a demon?
This is the true god!
Grandma Gongsun was absolutely certain.
"Let's go." She picked up her cane.
"Mother, where are we going?" the old woman asked, puzzled.
"Of course, go find your brother and tell him to be more alert and pay close attention to the strangers who have appeared these past few days."
Grandma Gongsun walked briskly.
Although he didn't understand, the old man still followed.
