Chapter 174 Preparing to Go to the Human World

Villagers lined up for food.

Xu Yintong didn't rush to eat, but stood aside and watched.

The skinny villagers held big bowls, their eyes shining and their smiles bright.

If a stranger saw this scene, he might be scared, because the villagers looked even more terrifying than the refugees. Some of them were completely skin and bones, and their smiles had an indescribable eerie feeling.

Fortunately, the villagers are used to seeing each other and are not afraid.

Everyone takes turns to get their food and sit at the table. Then they pray before the meal, thanking the gods for their gifts and asking them to bless everyone with a good harvest in the coming year.

Xu Yintong was the last one to get her meal. She drank goat milk and ate boiled eggs and meatballs.

Although the villagers' clothes were worn out, they were very clean. They washed their hands carefully before eating, for fear of leaving a bad impression on the gods.

After the meal, everyone prayed as usual, stood up to wash the dishes and other tableware, and even wiped the tables and chairs.

Luo Mingyue replaced the water in the bowls, and when the villagers finished their breakfast, she put down new and soft cloth for everyone.

The fabric is rich in colors, including red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, purple, white, black, gray, pink, etc., and is suitable for men and women of all ages.

The children were the happiest. Most girls liked light yellow and lotus pink, while boys liked navy blue or light purple. The children made a lot of noise and begged the adults at home to make new clothes for them.

The villagers looked up, "God, are these...given to us?"

Luo Mingyue said: "Of course."

Unexpectedly, the villagers were not happy at all. Instead, they shook their heads like rattles.

"No, we can't take it."

Luo Mingyue asked curiously: "Why?"

Everyone answered, "Because you gave us food, cakes, fruits, and clean water, and helped us solve the miasma forest. You are kind and merciful, but we can't be greedy..."

"We have enjoyed too many privileges, but have never done anything for the Lord God. Just eating the food you rewarded us already makes us feel guilty, not to mention that you also gave us a lot of extra rice, noodles, vegetables, and various condiments..."

"Yes, we accept food gifts because the vegetables we grow ourselves are poisonous. If we don't eat them, we will die."

"But now everyone of us has clothes to wear, even if they are worn out, but having something to wear is enough."

The villagers are particularly "kind" in their bones and do not like to take advantage. They are more suitable for selfless dedication. However, they are short of food now, so they can only shamelessly ask the gods for gifts, but they are only gifts in the form of food. As for other aspects, the villagers are unwilling to accept them.

At this time, Xu Yintong said: "Have you forgotten what I said?"

The villagers were stunned because the [Prophet] had said so many things and no one knew which one she was referring to.

Xu Yintong added: "I once said that everything the gods give us is a gift. We should accept it with gratitude instead of rejecting it."

"It's only been a short time, and you have already forgotten what I said?"

"The Lord God has given you so much food and drink, and you have all eaten and drunk it. Why are you being so hypocritical now? Since you have accepted it, then accept it all. How can you take half and return the other half? In the future, when the Lord God commands you to do something, do you still have to pick and choose what to do and what not to do?"

Xu Yintong had more unpleasant things to say, but she didn't need to, because several hot-tempered villagers blushed immediately after hearing her words and said, "How is that possible? As long as it is the order of the Lord God, I will strictly carry it out. I will never delay, let alone be perfunctory."

Others also expressed their views:
"Me too!"

"Me too. I will repay a favor. As long as the Lord God doesn't ask me to do anything that is against the will of heaven and earth, I will obey."

"Isn't that right?" Xu Yintong said with a straight face, "What the Lord God gave us, we are not allowed to question, we must accept it all. Even if she gives us poison, we have to eat it. Do you understand?"

Xu Yintong has a delicate appearance and is young, so the villagers are familiar with her. Even though she looks expressionless and serious and intimidating, the villagers do not feel afraid of her, especially the elderly, who still treat Xu Yintong as a child.

The villagers all called Xu Yintong the "Prophet", and some even called him "Lord Prophet", but many villagers' tones were mostly doting. It was obvious that most villagers treated Xu Yintong as their own child, and they cooperated:
"Don't be angry, [Prophet], you are right. We should put ourselves in the right place and not be picky."

Xu Yintong's eyes softened. "That's right. We should listen to what the Lord God says. After all, the way you look now... is not very pretty. You will look better if you change your clothes."

The villagers nodded and began to thank the gods in the sky.

Luo Mingyue didn't say anything else. There were two village chiefs helping to manage the Mojia Village. As for Baishan Village, there was Xu Yintong. Although Xu Yintong was young, he was still very reliable in handling things. Just like just now, Luo Mingyue gave the cloth, but the villagers refused to accept it. Did Luo Mingyue have to persuade them to accept it?
It is easy for people to not cherish free things. If Luo Mingyue is too proactive, it will not be good. It is just right for Xu Yintong to come forward at this time, and both parties will be happy.

The villagers began to divide the cloth. Some villagers had larger families and needed more cloth. They were afraid that they would take too much and those behind them would not get any, so they simply lined up at the back and took whatever color cloth was left.

However, they were obviously worrying too much, because Luo Mingyue was watching from the sky. If there was not much of a certain fabric, she would put down some more to ensure that everyone could choose their favorite color.

The villagers were very happy. After choosing the fabrics, it was already late. Some of them were in a hurry to go home. "I didn't do much work this morning. Time passed so quickly..."

"I have something to do in the afternoon. I will go back and sew clothes for the children."

"I have more things to do at home. Not only have I not finished washing the clothes, but I also have to go to the fields and be busy. I don't have time to sew clothes for the time being."

"Aunt Hu, I think the land outside the village seems to have dried up. Do you want to go to the town together when we are free?"

Aunt Hu sighed and said, "How can we get there? Originally my family had an ox cart, but the ox died a long time ago. It would be a long way to get to town on our own two feet. There might be poisonous beasts on the road, which is very dangerous. Unless we call Lao Chen or Lao Du to help us, they are both [Di Si] and can deal with poisonous beasts..."

"Ah, I haven't been out for so long that I forgot that your cow that used to pull the cart had died... It will be troublesome for us to go to town from now on."

Aunt Hu sighed, "Yes, I haven't been out shopping for a long time. I have been staying in the village. Before, there was the threat of the miasma forest, and I was only thinking about how to survive. Now that the threat is gone, I feel a little bored in the village and want to go out for a walk."

At this time, a man passed by the two and said, "You should behave yourself recently. Look at yourselves. Your arms and legs are just a layer of wrinkled flesh wrapped around bones. Your cheeks are thin and your eye sockets are sunken. The people in the town will be scared if they see you. I believe you don't want to be caught as monsters, right?" "That's right..." Aunt Hu looked down at her figure and dress, and couldn't help blushing, "You should wait until you are well before going out."

The villagers were busy, and Luo Mingyue was watching them from the sky. During this time, a child climbed onto the roof of his house. When his parents found out, they screamed. The child panicked and missed a step, falling from the roof. At the critical moment, Luo Mingyue stepped in, caught the child, and gently put him on the ground.

The family expressed many words of gratitude.

Luo Mingyue said "It's okay" and looked away.

The child was obviously frightened, but besides being frightened, he became excited when he remembered that the God had caught him just now. "I was lying in the palm of the God just now. Her palm was very warm and made me feel especially safe..."

As a result, the next moment, the child was taken back to the house by his parents. He was happy to win the mixed doubles match. Not long after, the child burst into tears, "I won't dare to do it again..."

The couple waited until the child calmed down before finally leaving the house. However, after leaving the house, the couple blamed each other:
"Why don't you keep an eye on the child? Fortunately, the gods intervened, otherwise Nan'er would definitely be injured from the fall."

"You didn't keep an eye on the child either."

"I..." The quarrel suddenly died down. The husband found that the God was still in heaven, so he was embarrassed to continue quarreling. He said in an unnatural tone: "The child is obviously much more lively than before. He would never behave like this before."

The wife said: "This is a good thing. This is what children should do. We should pay more attention to it in the future."

"it is good."

The atmosphere between the two people eased a lot, and the couple chatted for a few more sentences and reconciled as before.

The old people in the village were also busy clearing the weeds on the roadside.

Before they knew it, it was noon. This time, the meal that Luo Mingyue prepared was very rich. There was plenty of spiritual rice, and she also prepared braised chicken legs, cold dishes, braised beef, cumin meat slices and soy milk. There was extra white sugar on the side for the little ones to use. Some people like to add sugar to soy milk, but some people don't like sweet things. It respects personal taste differences.

The villagers felt the gods’ thoughtfulness from the details and prayed more devoutly. Some people whispered, “Thank you, gods. I hope you will bless the people all over the world so that they can afford to eat meat…”

Luo Mingyue had a question mark face:? ?

Is the scope of this blessing a bit too broad?

Some people also wished to have chicken legs every day. This wish was very simple and a piece of cake for Luo Mingyue, just like Ye Ningchuan from Tianliu Village had previously proposed to have porridge for every meal. Song Lu was now responsible for taking care of the little people in Tianliu Village and the group of refugees. Every time it was time for dinner, Song Lu would take some porridge from Luo Mingyue and put it down for the refugees.

Song Lu said with emotion: "These little guys eat really delicious food. I haven't eaten for a long time. Now watching them eat, I actually have an appetite again."

Ye Keke said: "It's best not to eat it. Cereals and grains will produce impurities in the body, which is not conducive to cultivation."

Song Lu said: "I know, but I'm just greedy."

Luo Mingyue said: "You should enjoy life while you can. Eat whatever you want. It's okay to eat a little every now and then. Anyway, you are all my contracted beasts now. If I ascend to become an immortal in the future, I will definitely take you all with me. I won't leave anyone alone."

"Then...did I really eat it?" Song Lu asked.

Luo Mingyue nodded, "Eat, I can even take you to the human world. When we get to the restaurant, you can order whatever you want."

Song Lu waved his hand and said, "That's not necessary. I'm not that greedy, and I don't want to trouble the master to take me all the way to eat..."

Luo Mingyue said: "It's not a problem. I will go to the human world again anyway, so I can take you with me."

"Really?" Song Lu's eyes lit up for a moment, but soon returned to normal. He wanted to eat delicious food, but he didn't want to go out, let alone walk...

Luo Mingyue seemed to see what he was thinking and said, "When the time comes, we will fly on a sword, which is very fast. You basically don't need to walk by yourself. After dinner, you just sit in your seat and wait for me. When I finish my business, I will fly on the sword to pick you up, and we will go back together."

Song Lu heard that his master had said so much, and it would be rude for him to refuse. He nodded and said, "It just so happens that I have never been to the human world. This time I will go and broaden my horizons."

Ye Keke swallowed her saliva and whispered, "After hearing what you said, I want to go too..."

Luo Mingyue was very sharp-eyed and sharp-eared. After hearing what she said, she said, "Then let's go together. Since I contracted you, I have kept you in this room. It's time to take you out for a walk."

Luo Mingyue is not a black-hearted boss, and he can't let the contracted beasts work every day.

Ye Keke was worried and asked, "What about Hulu Town? These are the people I carefully protect. If they get into danger while I'm away and can't contact me..."

Qing Rui said, "I can help keep an eye on them. I'm not interested in the human world. You can go out together, but I have to make it clear that I won't feed the villains. At most, I'll make it rain for them and keep an eye on some outsiders."

Luo Mingyue said: "That's enough."

Kong Han asked: "When are we leaving? I want to go too."

Luo Mingyue is a man of action. She said, "It's better to do it today than to wait for a day. Let's do it today."

She looked down and saw that the people in Baishan Village were still eating, and the stone basin containing the spiritual rice was empty.

Luo Mingyue added some magical rice, and fearing that the villagers would not have enough to eat, she filled up several other stone basins.

Then, Luo Mingyue looked at his contracted beasts and said, "Let's go!"

As he spoke, Luo Mingyue took the lead and walked out of the room. He raised his hand to summon the spirit sword, and the sword body became larger, making it easier for several people to step on it.

Ye Keke followed closely behind her, "Master, I'm coming up."

"Ah."

After the three contracted beasts stood on it, the sword flew into the sky.

But what Luo Mingyue didn't expect was that just after she flew away, something happened in Baishan Village. Qingrui saw a group of strangers walking out of the blood mist and entering Baishan Village.
