Chapter 4: The Villagers' Gratitude

I have to say that the rejuvenation technique of the land lord is indeed magical, the next morning, the warm sun of early winter sprinkled down, not far away on the black earth, there are faintly visible dots of greenery.

The land is lazily paced out of the temple, with his hands behind his back, quite a bit like a rich man.

It was the first time Lu Gong had seen such a magical spell, and he couldn't help but know a little more about him, and said sincerely: "Your rejuvenation technique is quite magical. ”

The land straightened his chest and said proudly: "If you don't have much strength, Uncle Ben will give you a winter pear blossom." ”

"If you leave it alone, will they grow up?" Lu Gong was already interested in Shinto spells.

The land glanced at him, as if looking at a hillbilly, and said, "I want to eat you." Can your wild vegetables be harvested in seven days? ”

Lu Gong was suddenly a little stunned, he casually said seven days, this guy really came according to seven days?

From small seedlings to harvestable seedlings, let alone seven days, it can't be done in half a month.

"What then?" Lu Gong sincerely asked.

"I want to be able to pick it in seven days, and then I have to have a rejuvenation every night." Speaking of this, his voice stopped abruptly, thinking that the little strength he had left would not be exhausted soon, he raised the branch in his hand with some chagrin, and knocked Lu Gong twice hard, which could be regarded as a breath.

Lu Gong felt a pain in the top of his head, sensed the hurried footsteps in the distance, and hurriedly reminded him: "Someone is coming." ”

The earth's body shook suddenly, and he burrowed into the temple with a thud.

In a moment, the big man trotted in, and he rushed quickly to the edge of the woods, and when he saw the buds all over the ground, he suddenly fell to his knees with a thud, and shouted to the sky.

"God bless, Xiaokan Village is saved!"

He excitedly circled around the place where the shoots had grown, and after making sure that he was indeed correct, he came to the Land Temple and knelt down again.

"Thank you for the manifestation of the Lord of the Land, and the disciple will go back immediately to inform the villagers."

He flew away.

The land came out again, sat beside Lu Gong, and looked at the broken wooden box again, his gaze softened a little.

He didn't know how long it had been since he saw the people who came to make a wish be grateful.

When he first stepped into Shinto, didn't he have great ambitions and really wanted to do something for the villagers? But reality smoothed his edges and corners, and his dreams were scattered.

He looked up at the soft sun, his eyes narrowing slightly.

Lu Gong felt that this guy seemed to be in a different state from yesterday, and he more or less guessed something, so he couldn't help laughing and said, "Don't you think it's cool to feel grateful to others?" ”

The land snapped back to his senses and gave him a blank look. "You know a ball......"

With the departure of the big man, soon more and more villagers came to hear the wind, looking at the young shoots on the ground, they cheered, and many people even came directly to the land temple to bow their heads.

Dozens of men even held a village meeting, and when they heard that the wild boars in the vicinity had been in trouble recently, they decided to take turns to keep vigil every day to ensure that the wild vegetable seedlings would not be spoiled by the animals.

Lu Gong looked at the hope burning in their eyes, and then glanced at the few pillars of fragrance in front of him, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

The wild vegetables have not yet been harvested, and today there are already five or six families who have made incense in advance, and the offering money is as much as 15 coins.

LΓΌ Gong received three merits as he expected.

This time, the land lord was extremely cautious, and did not come directly to collect the worship money, but according to his own plan, he carefully performed the rejuvenation technique late every night.

Probably because of the incense, he was more and more energetic after a few days.

One god and one box are like two misers, looking at the growing greenery from afar, and for the first time they did not say anything cool to stimulate each other.

Seven days passed quickly.

In the early morning of the seventh day, when more than 200 villagers spontaneously came to the land temple, the laughter and laughter instantly flooded the forest.

Needless to explain, almost every household has prepared tribute, as little as one or two steamed buns, as many as two bowls of white rice, and even the richest family in the village killed an old hen ruthlessly.

"Folks, don't be in a hurry......," the elderly village elder burst into tears, wiping the tears on his face, still not forgetting to maintain order, asking everyone to pick only ripe wild vegetables, leaving roots and seedlings.

The boiling incense filled the air, covering almost the entire forest, and the incense burner in front of him could not be inserted, and even the ground was full of incense.

Lu Gong looked at the busy figures around him, looked at the excitement and hope on their faces, and couldn't help but be happy in his heart.

In the past few days, the face of the land has become more and more ruddy, but it has become more and more silent.

At this time, the villagers were laughing and laughing outside the temple, and he sat alone on the altar in a daze.

"Lord Land, what's wrong with you?" Lu Gong deliberately provoked his words.

The land turned his head and stared at Lu Gong.

Lu Gong thought that he was going to start a tirade again, but who knew that after waiting for a long time, he only heard a small voice.

"Thank you!"

Lu Gong's heart moved slightly, but his mouth was unforgiving. "Lord Land, I didn't hear what you just said, please be louder!"

With a snort, he jumped up, punched Lu Gong on the top of his head, and scolded: "Good elm pimple, you dare to commit a crime against you." ”

Lu Gong was in pain, but he didn't have his hands to protect his head, so he could only let out an ouch cry, and he was also a lot relieved to see that the land lord had returned to normal.

The picking of wild vegetables lasted for half a day, and more than a dozen baskets of wild vegetables were neatly stacked in front of the land temple, occupying a huge space.

After leaving a few men who were looking at the land, they each returned to the village to collect wild vegetables.

They made their own plans to harvest once every seven days, so that they could barely survive the winter.

At night, the front of the Land Temple returned to calm again, and after a few men not far away were busy for a while, they also began to come to the open space in front of the Land Temple, lighting a fire and chatting.

"I heard that the mountains have not been peaceful recently, we still have to be careful, but don't fall asleep for a while, let this vegetable field be arched to wild boars." A man said in a deep voice.

The two next to him nodded.

Because of the lack of grain harvest, the wild goods in the mountains during this period were not able to live in peace, and from time to time they went down to various villages to make trouble, which has caused a lot of trouble in several nearby villages to be unable to be peaceful.

The land crossed Erlang's legs, sitting on the altar, thinking about the amount of money for the offering, and his slightly ruddy face was full of smiles.

Lu Gong listened to the chatter of the village next to him, but subconsciously turned his head and asked, "Isn't there anyone who cares about these wild goods?" ”

After calculating the land and offering money, it was a full hundred and twenty pieces, and he was happy in his heart, when he heard Lu Gong's voice, he turned his head and said: "Even the mountain temple has been arched, who else dares to care?" ”

"What wild beast is so ferocious?" Lu Gong was surprised.
