Linjia Village is near Dahe Village, and the only people Ma Qi could ask were the old lady and old man of the Lin family.
However, after he asked the question, he saw the disdainful look in Old Mrs. Lin's eyes.
"See? Another one who followed Wu Cuiying's example. None of them are good. I bet they're just going to steal..."
Before Old Mrs. Lin could finish speaking, their window was suddenly smashed.
"You old hag, if you let me hear you say another word about my sister, you'll see!" Half of the window was smashed open, and a man holding a shovel glared angrily at the outside.
Grandma Lin shivered and quickly left the room, running to another room.
"Brother Wu!" Ma Qi hurriedly chased after him.
"My wife has left too. Do you know which direction she went?"
Upon hearing this, Brother Wu immediately looked at him with a scrutinizing gaze, his expression full of reproach.
"It's because of people like Lin Erluo and you that my sister disappeared!"
"What were you doing all this time? Coming out to look for me now? Let me tell you, it's too late!"
Brother Wu stormed off in a huff.
"Brother Wu, Brother Wu!" Ma Qi hurriedly chased after him, and only after begging for a long time did he find out the direction of his wife.
"Your wife has probably gone to some remote mountain. Let me tell you, if you don't intend to treat her well, then let her leave."
"With the Mountain Goddess and Old Lady Gongsun and other believers in this desolate mountain, their lives are definitely better than yours!" Brother Wu sighed.
He wished his younger sister had gone to the wilderness, so that there wouldn't be no news of her until now.
With things so chaotic outside, those bandits can massacre entire villages at will. How is Cuiying supposed to survive all alone?
Over here, Ma Qi's lips trembled for a long time before he finally shouldered his bundle and made up his mind.
“I’m going with my wife! Anyway, my parents don’t like me; they only care about the big brother in the county town!”
Moreover, the older brother in the county town was even unwilling to support his parents, but the elderly couple still treated each other like treasures.
Ma Qi saw it very clearly, but he just refused to admit it.
Now he realizes how foolish he was, making Qingping suffer with him for the sake of this fabricated family bond, and running out the door with the baby shortly after giving birth.
He couldn't even imagine how Qingping, with her weak body, could climb up the barren mountain in such cold weather.
What if he falls on the road? Wouldn't his daughter also lose her life?
Thinking of this, Ma Qi became extremely anxious and hurriedly carried his bundle and ran towards the barren mountain.
Actually, Feng Qingping isn't really that cold right now.
She had only run out of her house a short while when she was spotted by Cui Ying, who was on patrol.
After Cui Ying found out the reason, she took the child without saying a word and released two fire snakes.
One of the fire snakes coiled around Feng Qingping, while the other fire snake encircled the child in her arms.
"Come on, I'll take you to the barren mountains. As long as you're willing to believe in the Mountain Goddess, the barren mountains will be your new home!"
"Is this mountain goddess the same deity that Lady An trusts?"
Feng Qingping asked nervously.
When she was pregnant, it was Lady An who saved her life and prevented her from entering the residence of the Goddess of Fertility.
Later, the Goddess of Fertility was destroyed by the Goddess of the Mountain. The baby boys in Dahe Village turned into little monsters and turned against their relatives. She knew all about it.
Therefore, Feng Qingping was always very grateful to An Niangzi. If An Niangzi hadn't found an excuse to fob off Granny Shi, she would not only have lost her life, but her child would have become a monster.
"You know Madam An? By the way, you're from Dahe Village, which is very close to Linjia Village," Cui Ying murmured to herself.
“That’s right. The deity that Madam An trusts is the Mountain Goddess. As long as you are willing to trust her as well, you can live near Madam An from now on.”
“Okay, I’ll go!” Feng Qingping nodded repeatedly, her eyes shining brightly.
"Qingping, wait a moment. Are you still in your postpartum period? You look very weak. Please wait a little longer, and I'll have someone take you upstairs." Cui Ying keenly noticed the woman's pale face.
Feng Qingping nodded subconsciously.
Not long after, an old man floated over from the front of the barren mountain. When the old man arrived, he simply raised his hand slightly.
Feng Qingping felt as if she were floating, surrounded by an invisible wall, where not even a wisp of wind could get in.
"Uncle Lin, let's go back." As soon as Cui Ying finished speaking, she also floated up.
Along the way, they didn't feel any mountain breeze, and in less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, they arrived at the territory of Linjia Village.
Feng Qingping, trapped within the invisible wall, stared in disbelief, speechless with astonishment.
Are all these people this powerful? The legendary Mountain Goddess must be even more powerful!
These people are all so capable, so what can she do?
Feng Qingping, on the contrary, felt somewhat uneasy, thinking that she might not be able to help at all.
This feeling made her very anxious.
Linjia Village was willing to take her in, and Cui Niangzi even offered her accommodation. How could she possibly eat for free here?
"Why are you unhappy now that you've come to this desolate mountain?" Cui Ying keenly noticed her situation.
Feng Qingping spoke her mind somewhat shyly.
"How could we not be of help? The barren mountains are in dire need of manpower right now. We can contribute to the barren mountains no matter what we do!"
Cui Ying was certain of this.
“Look at those women weaving cloth. Even though they’re always weaving here, they actually get contribution points every day.”
"Contribution points?"
"Yes, we don't use gold or silver in our barren mountain area right now, only contribution points. Everyone can take on missions, and even the children can go nearby to collect firewood to exchange for contribution points."
