Mo Jin couldn't persuade anyone, so he gave up.
He felt that the immortal would not get angry over such a trivial matter.
Because the eyes of immortals are compassionate and tolerant.
The mother of the Mo brothers' surname was Shangguan, and no one knew her exact name. All we knew was that she was a beauty when she was young. She escaped from the war and was rescued by Mo Dalang, and the two got married.
Mo Dalang was a good hunter and could occasionally catch wild game, but ordinary people could not eat this kind of game because the animals in the mountains were poisonous and had to be killed and sent to the town.
The process of killing the beast was difficult, but the silver earned from each kill was also generous, enough for the family to live comfortably in the village for five years.
Mo Dalang was lucky. One time he hunted two beasts directly. The next year he hunted another beast and made a lot of money.
Later, when Mo Hanshi was born, Mo Dalang stopped going out hunting because it was very dangerous to go up the mountain. He was afraid that he would never come back, leaving his widow and orphan without support.
Besides, the money he saved was enough for his family to live on for a long time.
But Mo Dalang is a man who cannot sit still. He does some side jobs in his free time. His family has no farmland, so if someone is too busy, he will help harvest grain. He will also help build houses for rich families in the village to earn some pocket money.
The rest of the time, he stays at home with his wife and son.
Later, Mo Jin was born.
Mo Jin was born with supernatural strength. At the age of three, he could beat adults in arm wrestling. His body was as strong as a calf.
Mo Dalang was overjoyed, thinking that his son could inherit his hunting skills. The reason why "Mojia Village" was called this name was not because there were many people with the surname Mo in the village, but because hundreds of years ago, there was a strong man with the surname Mo who led the tribe to take root here.
The Mo family has inherited great strength from their ancestors, but unfortunately each generation is weaker than the previous one, including Mo Dalang, who is only slightly stronger than an ordinary adult, and is far from having the natural strength of his son Mo Jin.
So, when Mo Jin was three years old, Mo Dalang took his two sons into the mountains with great ambition.
It was a pity that he hadn't been to the mountain for a long time and didn't know that the beasts on the mountain had a king and had become united, making them not as easy to catch as in the past few years.
Mo Dalang fought desperately to carve out a way to survive, allowing his two sons to escape quickly.
The three-year-old Mo Jin didn't want to run, so the eight-year-old Mo Hanshi knocked his brother unconscious with a knife, then ran away crying and carrying his brother on his back.
Mo Hanshi does not have natural supernatural powers, but the people in his family are naturally stronger than ordinary people and can run faster.
Of course, there is also a lot of food.
Later, Shangguan raised her two sons alone. Although her husband left her a lot of money before his death, she wanted to save it for her sons to marry, so she worked hard to make money to supplement the family income by weaving bamboo baskets, sewing shoe soles, and mending clothes. But there is a saying that "the young boys eat up their fathers", and as the brothers grew older, Shangguan's own money was not enough to support her sons, so she spent money to buy a few plots of land and lived on farming.
Later, when there was no rain, Shangguan emptied her savings and asked her two sons to take a detour to the town to buy food.
Mo Jin also worked hard and found a manual labor job in the town that was paid by the daily wage. Later, because of his good looks, he was noticed by a nobleman and became his bodyguard, with free food and lodging. He used the monthly salary he earned to buy food and send it back home every month, and occasionally bought some dried meat that was easy to store.
A year later, the price of food in the town suddenly increased, and suddenly someone in the town was infected with a contagious "strange disease".
Mo Jin was not quite sure about the specific symptoms of the strange disease, because sometimes the news would change after being spread from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred, and the rumors would become more and more outrageous. Some said that people with strange diseases would become beautiful and charming, and turn into charming demons to seduce people's souls. Some said that people with strange diseases would become ugly monsters who love raw food. Some said that people with strange diseases would fall into a deep sleep and grow lush hair on their bodies...
In short, there are all kinds of rumors.
Mo Jin wasn't sure which rumor was true, he only knew that a large number of people were staying away from the town.
Even Mo Jin's main family has to move away from here and go to the city.
Mo Jin was unwilling to leave his hometown, so he received a severance pay.
There are also people in the village who make a living in the town like Mo Jin, but because of the emergence of strange diseases, people are in panic. Some people originally planned to return to the village, but unfortunately they were infected with strange diseases and did not dare to go back for fear of infecting their family members.
Fortunately, Mo Jin has always had the habit of hoarding food, and he would buy food every time he got silver, otherwise he would not be able to buy it now.
After leaving the town, Mo Jin deliberately stayed on the road for a few more days to make sure that he had not contracted any strange disease. When passing by a stream, he washed his body, threw away his old clothes, changed into clean clothes and went home.
After returning, he found that life in the village was very difficult and everyone looked sad.
After a year of drought, the people could still rely on the meager stored grain to survive, but there was no rain. At first there was water in the well, but later the well dried up. Some people wanted to use the stream outside the village for irrigation, but there was only so much water in the stream and it was not enough for irrigation, so everyone stopped farming.
All the wild vegetables in the field have been dug up.
Many people even took risks and wanted to go hunting in the back mountain, but out of more than a dozen people who went out together, only a few came back, and they were all poisoned and died not long after.
What's worse is that the road to the town is also occupied by poisonous beasts, and everyone has nowhere to escape if they want to take a detour.
It was not until the village chief got rid of the poisonous beast that everyone could go to the mountains to find food.
But in the past month, new poisonous beasts have appeared in the mountains, and only the village is safe.
Fortunately, now the difficult days are finally over, and everyone has endured the hardships and has finally received the mercy of the immortals, who not only sent rain but also provided food.
After eating the hot eggs, the villagers decided to hold a collective "meeting".
Jiang Yanfeng is in charge of hosting the event.
He was a scholar and the son of the village chief, so the villagers tacitly agreed that he would be the new village chief.
The "meeting" location is the open space in the middle where the "cross" layout of the village intersects horizontally and vertically. The area here is very large, and even hundreds of small people can stand there, and there is also a high platform.
Jiang Yanfeng walked up to the platform, and his first words were: "I suggest that we appoint two village chiefs, because Mo Jin can also see immortals."
When two people are together, they can look after each other.
