Chapter 177 I am the God's brother

"what is the problem?"

When Lan Yueji heard the sound of him slamming the table, her heart skipped a beat and she quietly reached her hand into her sleeve, ready to pull out the dagger at any time.

The rest of the caravan members also began to be on guard. Some reached for their shoes and boots, because there were blades hidden inside; some reached for their collars, where there was a poisonous insect; and some quietly took out a hidden weapon and held it in their hands...

Xiao Fen clenched his fingers, and he could draw out the sword as long as he thought about it.

The caravan member who spoke earlier said, "It suddenly occurred to me that the food we eat is probably an illusion. It looks delicious, but it's actually just toads, bugs, sand, and dirt. That's why the villagers have eaten themselves into this state... Maybe the villagers are really kind-hearted, so the boss's [Listening] ability is fine to hear the sound, but the villagers are also victims who have been blinded by the evil god's illusions, living in falsehood and deception. Their kindness to us has harmed us instead..."

"Ugh——" This description was so disgusting that Lan Yueji couldn't help wanting to vomit. When she thought about what she had just eaten were bugs, she felt her stomach churning.

"Shut up and don't vomit!" Xu Yintong was originally a good-tempered girl, but at this moment she was so angry that her face turned red.

The villagers were also very angry. One of them shouted loudly: "You can slander us, but you are not allowed to slander the gods, and you are not allowed to waste food!"

Aunt Hu frowned and said, "These foods are real. There used to be a miasma forest outside our village. It was the poison in the forest that turned us into this half-human, half-ghost appearance. Just when we were in despair, the gods descended from the sky, eradicated the miasma forest for us, and also gave us food and drink."

Xu Yintong said: "Besides, the Goddess didn't force you to believe in her. At most you can finish your meal and leave."

Lan Yueji sighed and said, "We can't leave. No matter if it's the good gods or the evil gods, we can't easily get involved in the things they give us. Once we get involved, a cause and effect relationship will be created. Even if we leave, one day in the future, we will come back here after many twists and turns."

"In addition, things bestowed by the gods can make people addicted, just like the magical rice you just mentioned, which is very delicious and makes people linger on the aftertaste..."

A young man from the caravan continued, "Not only the magical rice, but every dish just now is very delicious. Once you have tasted it, you will always remember it... If this trend continues, we will become believers of God sooner or later."

Xu Yintong said unhappily: "The deity worshipped by our village is not an ordinary man-made god. Her existence is beyond your cognition. You should feel honored to be able to eat these delicious foods."

"It's whatever you say."

Lan Yueji had given up arguing. She waved her hand feebly and said to the caravan, "Everyone, since it's already like this, let's just eat to our heart's content."

Everyone in the caravan responded and continued to eat, but the food was obviously not as tasty as before. Everyone had a more or less sad look on their face, but after eating the magical rice, everyone's brows relaxed involuntarily.

Xu Yintong stomped her feet in anger, but she didn't know how to convince them or change their minds. She could only snort proudly and turn to sit aside.

Soon, the caravan members ate up all the food.

The villagers came forward, took away all the pots and pans, and washed them aside.

The caravan members noticed two "pools" not far away. The inner walls of the pools were white and looked like a huge water bowl.

A young man in the caravan walked over and asked curiously: "Why are the two pools in your village made in this shape? If someone falls in, it will be difficult to climb ashore."

The villagers nearby replied: "We didn't dig it out. It was given by the gods."

The young man continued, "Then...excuse me, where is the god you believe in?"

Xu Yintong said: "In the sky."

"what?"

The boy looked a little confused. He looked up at the sky and saw nothing.

The caravan members also looked up at the sky.

Xu Yintong said: "The goddess is not watching us all the time. Not long ago, she put down the food and disappeared. We don't know where she went. If you want to see the goddess, you can wait until dinner time, and you should be able to see her."

Lan Yueji said: "It's okay, we are not in a hurry."

Xu Yintong said: "I'll try to beg and see if she will show up."

After saying that, Xu Yintong bowed to the sky, took a deep breath, and prayed earnestly: "Good and great God, your most loyal believer Xu Yintong begs you, and longs for you to look down upon me with mercy..."

There was no response from the sky.

It is impossible for God to respond to everything.

Xu Yintong felt a little disappointed. She said, "It's a pity that the God didn't show up."

Lan Yueji secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She had an inexplicable fear of the gods and said, "Let's continue the transaction."

Xu Yintong nodded, "Okay."

The villagers took copper coins from their homes and bought what they needed.

The caravan brought a lot of poisonous animal meat strips, hoping to exchange them for salt and dry food.

The villagers looked embarrassed and refused: "I'm afraid this... won't work."

Lan Yueji asked: "Why?"

Xu Yintong said: "I told you before that the food in our village is poisonous. All the poisonous food was taken away by the God, and then she gave us new vegetables, grains, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar. We cannot privately exchange the food given by the God..."

Lan Yueji was about to give up, but unexpectedly the sky suddenly darkened and Qingrui stuck his head into the cardboard box.

Qing Rui said, "Hey, little girl with silver eyes, don't be so rigid. My sister is very generous to you little people. She will give you as much food as you want. Since these people in the caravan want food, just give it to them."

"what?"

Xu Yintong looked up at the sky with a blank expression, "Who are you?"

The villagers were also dumbfounded. Why did a boy of seven or eight years old appear in the sky?
The boy has a very fair complexion and short black hair, but his eyes are a warm blue, his facial features are delicate, and his eyebrows and eyes are handsome.

Qing Rui said: "My name is Qing Rui. The deity that your village believes in, Luo Mingyue, is my sister. She has to go out for something, so she asked me to take care of you for a while."

A hint of hesitation flashed across Xu Yintong's face. She couldn't be sure whether what the little boy said was true or false.

On second thought, Xu Yintong thought that Qingrui had no need to lie to her at all. The people in the village were very poor and there was nothing to lie about. Besides, Qingrui was high in the sky and must be a god.

Xu Yintong said: "I will obey the will of the Lord God."

Qing Rui corrected him, "Don't call me that. Just call me Lord Qing Rui. I am not worthy of the title of God. You believe in my sister, not me... She is the God."

Xu Yintong changed her tone, "Yes, Master Qingrui."

At this moment, Lan Yueji was already stunned. She looked up at the sky and whispered softly, "How is this possible?"

"Most gods are dead objects. How could they have human forms and be high in the sky..." The "dead objects" that Lan Yueji mentioned refer to the artificial gods in the world of little people. Most of them cannot move. Some of them look like a piece of jade, some like a bone, and some like a jade pipe, a silver comb, etc. Although they are born with intelligence and can respond to the prayers of believers, they rely on believers to exist and can only pass their thoughts and consciousness to believers, not to outsiders.

Moreover, man-made gods live on the ground and it is impossible for them to go to the sky.

Lan Yueji rubbed her eyes in disbelief, "Am I hallucinating?"

She actually saw the god of Baishan Village?

Oh no, that's not right, Qingrui is not a god, he is the god's younger brother...

How outrageous...

Lan Yueji looked dazed, thinking: I just had a meal and I have been converted into a believer?
Qingrui heard clearly what Lan Yueji had just said. He became playful and stretched out his finger to poke Lan Yueji, knocking her to the ground.

Qingrui asked: "Do you still think this is an illusion?"

Lan Yueji sat on the ground, grimacing. Her tailbone hurt. For a moment, she felt that Qingrui must be an evil god. Only evil gods like to fool their believers and take pleasure in it.

Lan Yueji said quickly: "I believe it. I believe all this is true."

Qingrui smiled gently, and he reached out his hand again, but this time he did not bully the villain, but picked up all the stone basins on the ground.

He asked, "Do you want to get caught in the rain?"

Most of the villagers nodded. Xu Yintong said, "If it's a light rain, it's fine, but if it rains too heavily, it won't be good..."

Qingrui muttered, "You are quite picky, little girl."

After saying this, he transformed into a green dragon.

When Qingrui transforms into a human form, just like Luo Mingyue, only some villains can see him, but if he transforms into a blue dragon and descends into the villain world, then all villains can see him.

Xu Yintong was stunned. She saw that high in the sky, wherever the blue dragon passed, the sky was covered with dark clouds.

The dragon's body shuttled freely among the clouds, and fine raindrops fell from the sky continuously.

"Dragon, Lord Qingrui is a dragon!"

"Oh my god, the god's brother is actually a dragon!"

"Qingrui, Qinglong auspiciousness? So this name represents this meaning..."

At this moment, a villager suddenly responded, "It's raining, hurry up and collect the clothes!"

Dozens of villagers immediately scattered and ran away.

But some villagers looked calm, "My home is far from here, it's too late to run back now, I might as well stand here and get wet in the rain."

Everyone in the caravan was also shocked, because there was a severe drought in the world and the only way for humans to get water was through the [Yuanshui] awakeners. But now, a green dragon appeared in the sky, controlling the clouds and rain!

Someone pinched himself hard, "I must be dreaming..."

"What are you still standing there for? Get some water!"

The caravan members hurriedly took out basins, wooden barrels, water bags, etc. In fact, there had been an awakener of [Yuanshui] in the team before, so everyone did not need to worry about water, but later this awakener died in a village, and the team began to lack water. Everyone had not taken a bath for a long time, and some people had dirty faces. Only the leaders, Xiao Fen and his wife, had relatively clean faces. After all, the couple were the face of the caravan, and they could not be too shabby.

Qingrui circled above Baishan Village for a few times, then transformed into a human form and returned to the outside of the cardboard box.

After the villagers collected their clothes and walked out of their houses, the country roads became wet, with occasional puddles on the ground, making travel somewhat inconvenient.

Blue Rose scooped up rain water from the basin and washed her face.

Xiao Fen silently took out a cloak from the carriage and handed it to his wife. Because it was a hot day, people wore thin clothes, and after being soaked by the rain, the clothes stuck to the body, vaguely outlining the outline of their figure.

Lan Yueji took the cloak and said with mixed feelings: "I now believe that the people of Baishan Village believe in the true gods."

Xiao Fen gestured and told her: "I believe it too."

However, most of the caravan members were confused. "What are you talking about? What does the dragon just now have to do with the gods believed in by Baishan Village?"

Someone nearby asked in surprise: "Didn't you hear? That dragon is the god's younger brother."

"I didn't hear it. When did you say that?"

Finally, the caravan members discovered through communication that only five people in the entire team could see Qingrui.

The five people are the couple Xiao Fen and Lan Yueji, a bearded uncle named "Bu Shangban", and a pair of siblings with average looks. The sister is named Yu Qiner and the brother is named Yu Zonghe.

Xu Yintong looked puzzled and asked, "Everyone in our village can see the gods and Lord Qingrui, why can only five of you see them?"

Blue Moon was also puzzled.

Qingrui was actually a little impatient, but because Luo Mingyue was not there, he stepped forward to explain to the little people, "Not everyone can see my sister. Only those who are kind-hearted can see her and hear her voice."

The so-called "being kind-hearted" was actually Qing Rui's nonsense. He didn't understand why some people could see Luo Mingyue but others couldn't. But he felt that if he answered "I don't know", it would be too cheap, so he just made it up...

Although this may be a bit immoral, he is a dragon, and we can't ask him to follow human moral standards, right? If we must ask him to do so, Qingrui is willing to admit that he is an immoral dragon.

However, after Qingrui finished speaking, Xu Yintong agreed and said, "So that's how it is. No wonder every villager in our village can see the gods, because everyone is very kind."

The people in the caravan also agreed with this view, "Boss Xiao is also kind...the five of them are all very dedicated."

"Huh?" Qingrui didn't expect that his made-up excuse would fool people. He shrank his head out of the cardboard box and never showed up again.

The caravan decided to stay in Baishan Village temporarily because everyone wanted to see the God...

I also want to have a dinner.

The villagers were very welcoming and invited the caravan members to take a bath in their homes.

Lan Yueji refused: "This... this is not necessary..."

How could you invite her to take a shower on the first day you met her?

It's so weird.
