Liu Dashi fell into deep thought.
He couldn't think of any reward to ask for.
food?
There is enough food in the village for now, unless the Silver-haired Prophet never comes back...
Gold, silver and other valuables?
It's so tacky. I always feel that asking the immortal for this is... not a good idea.
As for the fabric of the clothes, as long as they are wearable, it's fine. Liu Dashi is a man and doesn't care much about whether the clothes are gorgeous or not. As long as they are clean and practical, they don't need to look good.
Life is nothing more than food, clothing, shelter and transportation. As for entertainment... survival is a problem for everyone, so how can we have the heart to pray for pleasure?
Liu Dashi stared at the sky in a daze.
The elder of the Qian clan had a long script that he hadn't finished reading, but he happened to look up and saw Liu Dashi looking up at the sky. He couldn't help but wonder: Could it be that the gods have some instructions?
The elder of the Qian clan was a little nervous. After all, he was not a shaman and had never performed a sacrifice, so he stopped reciting and asked, "Dashi, what are you doing..."
Liu Dashi came back to his senses and said, "The fairy is watching us from the sky. She asked me what I wanted."
"Did the Immortal respond?"
The Qian family elder was delighted, feeling that his family's worship ceremony was indeed effective. Then he began to think: What reward should he ask for?
After burning incense and kneeling down to worship, the surrounding villagers followed the elders of the Qian clan in promising to "believe in the gods forever," and then they began to think.
Someone said weakly: "I want a good harvest, good weather, and no worries about food and clothing."
Some people also said: "I want a big house. My son will start looking for a date this year. There are not enough rooms at home. It's time to build a few new houses."
Someone immediately said, "Are you going to ask the gods to build your house? You might as well ask for some silver and hire us to build it for you."
Others said: "My family has been a single-line family for three generations. I want my son to get married quickly and have more big fat boys."
"You are all too superficial. I hope the immortals will bless my son to pass the exam and become the top martial arts student!"
"Then I want my son to become a high-ranking official, return home in glory, and bring honor to the family."
"I hope my daughter will be as beautiful as a flower, marry a good family, and live a happy life."
"I want my son to be taller and thinner."
The villagers chatted among themselves, making increasingly outrageous wishes. "I want to be like the prophet."
Luo Mingyue was ashamed: "..." The reward she was talking about was just a material reward, not this kind!
Luo Mingyue quickly took out a few pieces of cloth and put them on the ground, pouring a lot of flour on them, putting boiled eggs on another piece of cloth, and some of the cloth was piled with spiritual rice and vegetables...
After releasing all of this, Luo Mingyue disappeared directly into the horizon.
What the villagers want is one thing, what the gods give is another...
Liu Dashi was stunned. He didn't know if it was his illusion. The immortal gave him the feeling of fleeing in despair...
Liu Dashi stepped forward and said loudly, "Okay, these are the food given by the immortals. Share them and then go home. Also, you don't have to kneel down to worship the statues in the future. Just bow. The immortals don't like kneeling down."
"Well, we got it!"
A villager asked: "Dashi, did the immortal agree to the wish I made just now?"
Liu Dashi laughed and scolded, "You all misunderstood just now. The immortal only asked me what reward I wanted, not you."
The villagers were stunned: "..."
The elder of the Qian clan asked hurriedly, "Then are all these grains for you alone?"
Liu Dashi said: "No, this food is for everyone to share."
"I see. I knew it. Immortals are kind. Daishi, what wish do you want to make?"
Liu Dashi said: "I wished that the immortal would protect the village. If someone like Hei Dou comes again, I hope the immortal can help us repel the strong enemy."
When the villagers heard this, they immediately gave Liu Dashi a thumbs up and praised him for his sense of the overall situation. Such a good opportunity was not for his own wish, but for everyone.
"Daishi, your family has contributed a lot to this village. We are not the kind of people who are ungrateful. We are all thinking of your kindness in our hearts."
The villagers went home to get cloth bags, bowls and basins, and the elders helped distribute the food.
There are still a few villagers in the village who are unwilling to believe in gods, but when they see food being distributed here, they shamelessly come over and want to share some.
The elder of the Qian clan had sharp eyes. When he saw some people in the crowd, he immediately scolded them, "Ma family boy, what are you doing!"
There is only one family with the surname Ma in Tianliu Village. The old couple Ma have four daughters and one son.
The whole family dotes on this son.
The son of the Ma family was named Ma Guncai, which means a lot of wealth. Unfortunately, the child was lazy since childhood. He thought it was too hard to practice martial arts, too much brain-consuming to study, and too tiring to farm.
The Ma family is fairly well off. Grandpa Ma used to be a coachman for a nobleman and had accumulated quite a fortune. As for his wife, she is even more capable. She can tell fortunes, look at feng shui, and predict people's marriages. She has some real skills, but she is only half awakened, not fully awakened. Even so, she has made a lot of money. She is in her forties this year, but everyone in the village calls her "Grandma Ma."
The eldest and second daughters of the Ma family are twins, 22 years old this year, and the other two daughters are 19 and 16 years old respectively. All four of them are married, and they all like to bring their sons-in-law back to their parents' homes to help with work.
As for Ma Guncai, he is thirteen years old this year. Because he is spoiled by his parents and four sisters, he has never lacked food and drink since he was a child, and he is particularly willful.
Ma Guncai hated the gods in heaven because he believed that he was born with a good life and the gods should favor him. However, he could not see the gods. Instead, it was Liu Dashi from the Liu family who was favored by the gods. Ma Guncai was very angry. He once complained to his parents and asked his mother to find a way to make the gods favor him, but his mother was helpless.
Ma Guncai was so angry that he smashed two bowls at home and wanted to swear. Fortunately, his parents knew his temper and covered his mouth before he could say anything, warning him not to say anything.
But in fact, she would not be punished for scolding. Luo Mingyue would not eavesdrop on the conversations of the little people in the house. She could only hear the voices of the little people on the streets and in the farmlands.
Besides, it was impossible for her to monitor the sounds in the village all the time.
The Ma family did not come out to worship the gods, but Ma Guncai secretly took the basin and asked for eggs.
The Qian clan elder glared and said, "You can get food if you want. Come here and kowtow to the statue of the immortal. As long as you become a believer, you can get not only eggs but also rice, flour and vegetables."
Ma Guncai stiffened his neck and said, "Why can't I take it? The immortal gave it to the village, and he didn't mention my name and said he wouldn't give it to me. What's wrong with me taking some?"
"Besides," Ma Guncai pointed at Ye Ningchuan in the crowd and said, "She is not from our village. Even she can carry a basket of vegetables. Why can't I eat them?"
Aunt Guo was unhappy when she heard this. She put her hands on her hips and said, "The immortal personally ordered us to take care of Miss Ye Ningchuan. Who do you think you are? Do you think you can compete with Miss Ye?"
Ma Guncai angrily said, "I am from this village. Are you helping people from other villages to bully me?"
Aunt Guo laughed angrily, "Who bullied you? You, child, don't know how to respect the elderly and love the young. Of course, I'm still young, not old, and it's okay for you to yell at me, but how old are the elders of the Qian clan? You're just a child, and you don't even know the most basic manners?"
Ma Guncai's face turned red. He wanted to call her a "shrew", but seeing how big and strong Aunt Guo was, he didn't dare to.
Aunt Guo rolled up her sleeves. If Ma Guncai was her son, she would have educated him long ago. Unfortunately, he was not, so she could only say a few words verbally.
In the past, the villagers didn't dare to provoke Ma Guncai, because Ma Guncai's mother had an unusual job, such as fortune-telling and feng shui, which itself was a bit mysterious. But now, Aunt Guo felt that she had the support of the immortals——
The immortal favors Ye Ningchuan, and Ye Ningchuan lives in her house, so Aunt Guo is not panicked at all, nor is she worried that the Ma family will use special means to harm her. She believes that the immortal will definitely protect her.
Ma Guncai's two sisters happened to be in the crowd. The eldest sister stepped out to smooth things over and said, "We are all from the same village. Don't be angry. My brother is young and ignorant..."
The second sister also stood up and said, "This is my fault. I asked my brother to get the eggs for me. He actually got them for my family. My husband and I both believe in gods."
Hearing this, her husband looked at her unhappily, but didn't say anything in the end.
The Qian clan elder narrowed his eyes and said, "Is that so? Then take it. But I have to say this beforehand. If anyone disrespects the gods and only wants to take advantage... be careful of retribution."
Hearing the word "retribution", the eldest sister seemed to be frightened, because she knew her brother's character very well, so she walked over and asked in a low voice: "Acai, why are you here alone? Where are your parents?"
"Of course my parents are at home." Ma Guncai confidently thrust the basin in his hand into the arms of his eldest sister and said, "My second sister said she wants to give me some eggs, eldest sister, you should give me some too. Take them and send them to me."
After saying that, Ma Guncai turned around and ran away. At his age, he just needed to save his face. He was scolded in public just now. If his two sisters had not stood up to speak for him, he would definitely have said "Who cares?" and turned around and ran away. But now that his sisters came forward, Ma Guncai felt better. In addition, he was craving for delicious food, so he shamelessly left the basin at home.
The eldest sister's face looked a little ugly. In the first two years after she got married, she was a brother-supporting demon. No matter what good things her husband's family had, she wanted to take them back to her parents' home. Until she gave birth to three sons, she gradually began to favor her own children. However, she also had feelings for her younger brother, but definitely not as much as her own son. Now that the immortal rewarded her with boiled eggs, she wanted her sons to eat more...
Luo Mingyue saw this scene outside the cardboard box and frowned slightly. To be honest, she didn't know who Ma Guncai was at all. There were many common people in Tianliu Village, and Luo Mingyue often just took a quick glance and didn't deliberately remember the names of the little people.
She kind of disliked Ma Guncai.
Luo Mingyue didn't want to put herself in a difficult position, so she stretched out a finger and blocked the road.
Ma Guncai couldn't see her hand, he staggered and fell forward, but at this time Luo Mingyue had already withdrawn her hand and let him fall face down on the ground.
Seeing this, Qing Rui was surprised and asked, "You are still bullying children?"
Luo Mingyue said: "Letting him fall is not considered bullying, but I just think this kid's personality is not pleasing, so I'm going to teach him a lesson."
After that, there were no more quarrels in Tianliu Village. Luo Mingyue withdrew his gaze and continued to look at the little people in the town.
Lu Yunting put on the red clothes he bought and dripped blood on it, but for some reason, the red clothes did not transform into a blood-stained puppet and remained just an ordinary piece of clothing.
Lu Yunting thought, "I have made two blood-stained shirts in a row recently. This is too frequent. Maybe I should take a break and do it again later?"
He walked out of town and waited outside.
The rest of the villagers walked around the town and then came to the outside of the town one after another.
Only Mo Jin and his brother Mo Hanshi were still in the town. Mo Jin had wasted some time in the teahouse asking for news. As for Mo Hanshi, he just wanted to wander around, but he got lost.
Mo Hanshi randomly stopped a passerby and asked, "Excuse me, where is the exit of the town?"
A passerby pointed in a direction.
Mo Hanshi was very grateful and thanked him repeatedly.
Luo Mingyue sighed. Although Mo Hanshi knew how to ask for directions, he overlooked the fact that there were two "exits" in the town. A passerby happened to point to the one that was farther away. If Mo Hanshi followed that direction, he would not be able to get home until dark.
"Ajin, your brother is lost. He is three blocks away from you. Hurry and chase him."
Luo Mingyue pointed in a direction, and Mo Jin hurried to chase, and finally caught up with his brother. The two brothers met up, picked out a comb for Shangguan in a roadside shop, and then left the town.
Luo Mingyue counted the number of people and found that the little people had all arrived, so he put down the uncovered wooden box, asked them to stand on it one by one, and sent it back to the village.
It was not yet time for dinner. Seeing that the "afternoon tea" she had put out earlier was empty, Luo Mingyue took away the stone basin and waited for a while before serving dinner.
Zhuge Chengnian and others had already witnessed the scene of delicious food falling from the sky at noon, but they still found it novel at night and kept looking up at the sky.
Some villagers said: "Don't look at it. In our village, only the children and the two village chiefs are lucky enough to see the immortal."
The deputy commander asked, "Why?"
The villagers said: "We don't know the reason, maybe children's eyes are naturally more spiritual. As for the two village chiefs, they are blessed by the immortals, so they can also see."
Zhuge Chengnian and others were unwilling to believe that there were gods in heaven, as they felt it was outrageous, but the reality was that they had no choice but to believe it.
While eating, the members of the Awakening Team carefully observed all the villagers, trying to identify the "expert", but they couldn't find him after searching for a while. The woman in the team also went to the villagers to ask questions and learned that there were only two special village chiefs in the entire village, and the rest of the villagers were just ordinary people.
"So, the master we met before is actually the patron saint of Mo Village?"
"This guardian deity...his power is too incredible. I have never heard of a guardian deity that provides three meals a day for people."
After eating and drinking their fill, Zhuge Chengnian and the others decided to be more careful with their words and actions in the future. If their nonsense was heard by the gods, they might be punished by the gods.
After washing the dishes and cleaning up, the little people in Mojia Village went home.
At this moment, Luo Mingyue suddenly realized that a distress signal came from Qianxue.
Qingrui noticed that she looked different and asked, "What's wrong?"
