After finishing the meal, Hu Xiaocao began to clean up again, and after she finished cleaning up, it was already dawn, holding the enamel cup, and bringing the back basket, and ready to go.

"Mom, I'm out, there's porridge on the stove, you will remember to eat it later."

The woman nodded and gently admonished: "Be careful yourself, don't run to the mountains in the future, it's too dangerous for you to enter the mountains as a child." ”

"I'm not afraid, there is a mountain god grandfather to protect me."

Hu Xiaocao muttered a few words, but her voice was too quiet, and the woman didn't hear it clearly.

A day seems to be a long time, but Hu Xiaocao has too many things to do, like a spinning top, which has been spinning since he opened his eyes.

After cutting the pigweed as usual and finishing everything, Hu Xiaocao picked a lot of wild fruits and walked towards the mountain road, but on the way he met a few villagers who had returned from working in the fields.

"Little grass girl, where are you going happily?"

Hu Xiaocao jumped up and replied, "I'm going to worship the mountain god Grandpa." ”

Looking at Hu Xiaocao's back as he walked away, the other villagers looked at each other, "Mountain god, where did you come from, how can the little girl believe this." ”

A few people talked about it and didn't pay attention to it.

Hu Xiaocao came to the place where he met the mountain god last night.

It's just a pity that I didn't see the mountain god, everything here has returned to normal, ordinary, as if yesterday's incident was Hu Xiaocao's hallucination.

But she knew that it was not an illusion, the mountain god was real, the moon was real, and even the evening primrose was found by the mountain god's blessing.

After pondering for a moment, Hu Xiaocao clapped his hands violently, "It must be Grandpa Mountain God who is sleeping." ”

She put the wild fruit she had picked on the ground, bowed reverently, and kowtowed a few times before leaving.

As the days passed. Every once in a while, Hu Xiaocao was worshiped like this, but he didn't see the mountain god every time.

Hu Xiaocao is not discouraged, sooner or later, one day, Grandpa Mountain God will definitely be moved by his sincerity and willing to see her!

Although she didn't go often, she was also bumped into several times, and Hu Xiaocao's worship of the mountain god was also known by other villagers.

Originally, the woman was worried and didn't want her to go into the mountain, but she couldn't stand Hu Xiaocao's soft grinding and hard bubbles, plus she would enter the mountain during the day and wouldn't stay for too long, so the woman could only reluctantly agree.

Just told Hu Xiaocao that he could only be on the periphery, not inside, and it was easy to encounter wild beasts.

On this day, Hu Xiaocao finished the worship as usual, and did not leave, but fell into thinking, "Why is Grandpa Mountain God still reluctant to come out, is it because I am not sincere enough?" It's like letting Grandpa the mountain god bless Mom! ”

Hu Xiaocao remembered the temples she had seen in the town when she followed her mother to the market.

"The gods were offered in the temple, and there were all kinds of delicious cakes and fruits"

Hu Xiaocao looked at the little wild fruit placed on the ground, revealing a somewhat empty look, in comparison, she was really shabby.

No wonder Grandpa Mountain God never appeared again, he must have felt that he was fooling.

How can you pray to Grandpa Mountain God to bless your mother?

Hu Xiaocao's eyes rolled, flashing with a smart light, she patted her head suddenly, as if she had thought of some good idea, "There you have it!" ”

She scurried down the hill, not noticing the tail of the snake flashing behind her.

The sound of a thin cord was indistinct, like the movement of snake scales across the grass.

Ye Qin looked at Hu Xiaocao's figure running away, "I said that there are wild fruits here recently, it turns out that this girl made it, this is to worship me as a mountain god?" ”

Because he needed to visualize the moon when he reached the second stage of cultivation, he rarely appeared during the day, but recently he found that there were fresh wild fruits here every once in a while.

Ye Qin couldn't help but be a little curious, so he came over to take a look, but he never thought that he accidentally bumped into the scene where Hu Xiaocao worshiped himself.

"It seems that this girl really treats me as a mountain god."

Hu Xiaocao on the other side, he didn't know that the mountain god grandfather he was thinking about had appeared.

At the foot of the mountain, she picked up the remaining bricks from other people's workmanship, and mixed mud with straw, and built brick by brick.

Some villagers passed by here, looked at Hu Xiaocao's serious appearance, and couldn't help but joke: "Xiaocao, what about playing with mud here?" ”

Hu Xiaocao's small body squatted on the ground, immersed in his own masonry work, without raising his head, and retorted seriously: "No, I'm building a house for Grandpa Mountain God." ”

When the other villagers heard this, they couldn't help but laugh.

But I never thought that Hu Xiaocao really built it at a glance, and a small temple of less than half a meter was formed, but there was no other problem except for simplicity.

Hu Xiaocao scratched his head, looked at the small temple in front of him, and muttered, "I always feel that something is missing, what is it?" ”

Her eyes lit up, "How can you do it without a mountain god in the mountain temple?" ”

Hu Xiaocao pinched a ball of mud from the side again, and soon a slender and long creature appeared on his hand, looking like an earthworm.

She carefully and reverently placed it in the temple, as if it were the mountain god himself.

A small mountain temple took shape.

The mountain gods are in charge, and the wild fruits serve as tribute.

The sparrow is small, but it has all kinds of organs.

Then, Hu Xiaocao knelt respectfully in front of the small temple, kowtowed three times, and muttered in his mouth, as if praying, before getting up after a long time.

When the villagers saw it, they couldn't help but joke again: "Xiaocao, didn't you say that this is a mountain temple, why is there an earthworm in it?" ”

Hu Xiaocao chopped his feet angrily, and he was about to cry, "What earthworms!" That's a snake! It's the all-powerful mountain god grandfather! ”

The villagers touched their noses, although they couldn't figure out what the relationship between the mountain god and the snake was, but when they saw Hu Xiaocao about to cry, they were embarrassed to continue teasing.

I had no choice but to respond in response, "Yes, yes, this is the mountain god's grandfather." ”

Hu Xiaocao didn't take what the villagers said just now to heart, but he was afraid that they would collide with the mountain god, so he kowtowed a few more religiously.

"Grandpa Mountain God, don't listen to those people just now, what I did is realistic, don't dislike it, wait until Xiaocao makes a lot of money in the future, and then build a big house for you and make a golden body."

After doing all this, Hu Xiaocao left satisfied.

When evening came, Ye Qin appeared, looked thoughtfully at the small mountain temple in front of him, and couldn't help but fall into silence.

"Aren't you sure it's stumbling on me?"

What catches your eye is a crooked mass of unidentified creatures.

hovering in the temple, saying that it is an earthworm, it is still a compliment, if he really looks like this, he must not cry ugly.

Ye Qin glanced at it and saw three dog's tail grasses floating in the wind in front of the temple, obviously Hu Xiaocao didn't get the incense, so he could only pull out a few grasses and act as them temporarily.

It's like that, but of course there's a lot of stuff in it that can't be studied in detail.

Although everything looks very simple and everything is a simple version, it is Hu Xiaocao's intention, and she also covered it single-handedly.

"The little girl is quite interesting."

Ye Qin shook his head, didn't stay here long, and then continued to return to his cave.

It's not that he's indifferent, it's just that he can't do anything about this kind of thing, this girl hopes that her mother can get better as soon as possible, but Ye Qin won't cure the disease and save people.

He is still just a snake, he has not yet reached the realm of turning things around, and he has not yet learned the ability of alchemy, so he can only help this kind of thing now.
