Lin Anniang carried a pile of things, stuffing her basket to the brim, intending to go back.
There were very few usable items in that small, dilapidated house. In order to live a better life on the barren mountain in the future, she bought a lot of things and also brought some for Xiang Niangzi.
However, as she left the county town and passed an alleyway, she suddenly heard a familiar voice.
"Lin Genzhu, you can't afford to gamble! You've already lost twenty taels of silver, and you still haven't paid up!"
"Lend me another ten taels of silver, and I'm sure I can win it back!"
"With your luck, you think you can win it back? Dream on!"
"My wife is secretly hiding money. You wait, when I go back and get the silver, I'll make sure you lose it all!"
Lin Genzhu was cursing and swearing when he was kicked out of the yard.
"Get out of here!" The man had a black cloth strip tied around his forehead and looked fierce and menacing.
Lin Genzhu didn't dare to provoke the other party and ran away dejectedly.
"What bad luck! It must be my wife who infected me, otherwise why haven't I won anything lately?"
"I'll beat her to death when I get back!"
However, the next second, a sack fell from the sky and put Lin Genzhu inside it.
Immediately afterwards, a fierce kick came, each kick causing excruciating pain.
"Stop hitting me! I promise I'll return the money to you. I really do have money at home!"
"Stop hitting him! You're killing him! You're killing him!" Lin Genzhu cried out repeatedly.
"I'm hitting you because you dared to bully my sister!" Lin Anniang said in a vicious voice.
"You, you're from the Ning family? Didn't you say my wife wasn't your biological daughter and that I could beat her as I pleased?" Lin Genzhu's voice trembled with fear.
"Pah! Xiangqiao is a sister I've taken in. I have absolutely no relation to that Ning family!"
"If you ever lay a finger on her again, I'll crush your bones!"
As he spoke, the person outside clenched his fists, making a creaking sound, and then kicked the sack several times.
Lin Genzhu was in so much pain that he couldn't speak. He responded repeatedly, but eventually fainted.
Lin Anniang spat again, threw the person out, and picked up the sack again.
This big sack cost her about ten coins; she couldn't let it go to waste!
Inside the mountain god's temple, Yu Luo happened to witness this scene and was immediately overjoyed.
As expected, it had to be Lin Anniang. She truly deserves to be her favorite believer. As soon as she said she would teach someone a lesson, she immediately put a sack over their head and went to teach them a lesson without any hesitation!
She continued looking down and saw Lin Anniang carrying a basket and quickly returning home to tell Grandma Gongsun what she had heard that day. Two more stick figures with flames on their heads appeared on the system panel.
[Ding! Your followers Cui Ying and Liu Xin have been discovered by a newly formed avatar of a false god and are in danger. Would you like to spend 300 faith points to activate powerful protection?]
[Once the powerful protection is activated, it can isolate the senses of false gods. You can observe it briefly.]
"Activate!" Yu Luo quickly closed the system panel and activated the panoramic map.
The surrounding scenery suddenly darkened, and it seemed that this was not a courtyard, but a large house.
Around the house were rows of coffin-shaped wooden boxes, which were nailed tightly together.
At the very front was a pregnant woman lying on the ground. She had clearly lost consciousness, but her swollen belly was still twisting abnormally.
The woman's lips were bitten raw, and even her nails were twisted from the force of her bite. It was clear what kind of torment she had endured in life, and how she died with her eyes wide open in disbelief.
The next second, a tiny black hand sliced open the pregnant woman's belly, and a monster with an indistinct face crawled out.
It was surrounded by a thick black mist, from which one could vaguely make out sharp teeth and a pair of dark, hollow eyes.
The little monster let out a piercing scream and pounced forward quickly.
"What is that? Help! Help me!"
The two daughters-in-law of the Wu family happened to walk by. Seeing that no one was around, they wanted to investigate the situation, but they never expected to see such a horrifying scene.
"Stop yelling! If you call those old women over, we'll be even more dead!" said the eldest daughter-in-law of the Wu family calmly.
She quickly grabbed the dagger in her hand and shouted coldly, "Bring out the mountain god statue right now!"
However, Wu's third daughter-in-law was already terrified and at a loss for what to do. Her legs were weak and she could only sit on the ground and back away.
Before the small monster, shrouded in black mist, could pounce, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Wu family swiftly snatched the wooden carving from her hand and stood in front of the monster.
"Mountain Goddess, save us!"
In an instant, golden light shone brightly, filling the entire house with a soft glow and illuminating all the dark corners.
The two daughters-in-law of the Wu family then realized that the newborn monster had not even developed its facial features and limbs properly. If it weren't for the black mist covering it, it would have been even more terrifying!
So these are the sons those people prayed for? Were all those well-behaved children transformed from these monsters? Then are the children they prayed for still human?
The two women trembled, and the third daughter-in-law of the Wu family was completely dumbfounded. She had even come here hoping to have a child!
This isn't praying for a child, it's praying for a monster! How can such a creature exist in this world?
