Chapter 187 Qingrui presents Sophora japonica petals

"What is the Prophet grinning about?"

A villager nearby asked.

Another villager said with a straight face, "What silly smile? The prophet girl was so cute when she smiled just now. People should smile more often."

Xu Yintong didn't get angry after hearing this. Her eyes curved into beautiful crescents, and her silver eyes were soft and bright. "The Lord God actually pays attention to what I like to eat. She is so nice..."

The villagers understood and were somewhat envious, "So this is why you are happy."

"I feel that God likes the prophet very much. In the past, God even stroked the prophet's hair."

"The prophet is well-behaved and sensible, and I like the prophet too."

"When will God touch my head? Or my son's head, too. I think he will become smarter if God touches his head."

"I want her to touch me, too..."

The villagers ate and chatted.

After they finished eating, the caravan members rushed to wash the dishes and wipe them.

The villagers said, "You are guests. How can guests rush to do work?"

Lan Yueji said, "We stayed here last night. Today I wanted to pay Xu Xianzhi but she refused to accept the money... We can't just stay and eat for free, right? We have to help with some work."

"Oh, you are so polite. The food was given by the gods. Our village only provided you with a place to stay. As for food and drink, it was provided by the gods."

The villager next to him nodded and said, "Yes, as long as we share the same faith, it's no problem for you to live in my house for the rest of your life."

Another villager said: "How can we live here forever? That would be too unfair to the guests. It is inconvenient to live in someone else's house. It is better to live in your own home. So, I am willing to help build a house for free so that the caravan can settle here."

"You're right, we can help build new houses..."

After hearing this, Lan Yueji quickly said, "No need to be so troublesome."

The villagers said one after another: "It's not a problem, it's not a problem. We have nothing to do anyway, don't worry, we will help you build the house for free. After all, you are new here, so you must have a lot of money to spend, so you need to save money."

Hearing this, Lan Yueji felt a little ashamed, because the caravan's carriages were loaded with many valuable items, but these things were only traded with rich people and would not be given to poor people. Moreover, some goods could only be traded with the powerful, because the rich would not dare to accept them even if they had money, but the powerful were not available to everyone. Therefore, the caravan was not that wealthy. After all, they were guarding a lot of valuable things but could not find a suitable buyer. However, the caravan members definitely had more spare money than the skinny people in Baishan Village.

But now, the villagers want to help them build houses for free.

Lan Yueji felt her cheeks getting hot, and she felt ashamed. Although there is a saying that "there is no business without fraud", facing these poor people, Lan Yueji was embarrassed to take advantage of them, so she said, "How about this, we will return the money you bought from us before, and give you some extra stools, bowls and chopsticks, cloth, lanterns..."

Several villagers nearby immediately waved their hands and refused, "No, it's not easy for you to run a business, running around and working hard, how can we accept your things for free?"

Lan Yueji said: "It's not for nothing, just consider it as our reward for living here."

"No then!"

The villagers were very stubborn and simply stopped chatting with Blue Moon. They had exchanged seeds from the caravan before, but had not yet planted them because they were worried that there were still toxins in the soil. So they looked up and prayed to the gods, asking when they could grow their own food.

In fact, Luo Mingyue couldn't tell whether the soil was poisonous or not. After all, she had never farmed and didn't understand this aspect. Moreover, the soil in the villain world was different from that in the immortal world. It was pitch black, and it was even more impossible to tell whether it was poisonous. So Luo Mingyue dissolved a few detoxification pills in water, put them in a wooden basin, and evenly poured them into the farmland.

Luo Mingyue said: "When the land becomes dry, you can farm it."

"Thank you, Lord God!"

The villagers were very happy because their ancestors had been making a living from the land. Farmland was the foundation of their survival and the basis of their lives.

However, it is definitely not possible to farm today, but the villagers can't sit still, so they simply start chopping wood and prepare to help the caravan members build houses.

Some villagers went to the outskirts of the village to take a look. The soil where the miasma forest once took root has become dry, so it should be possible to travel.

Someone suggested taking a trip to Hulu Town.

Xu Yintong held his forehead with his hand, "Don't go, you should get your bodies back in shape first, otherwise if you go out with your current appearance, you might attract onlookers."

"Ah! Yes, I was so happy just now that I forgot about it... I will go out again when I grow some weight. Otherwise, I might be caught as a monster as soon as I arrive in Hulu Town."

"Then let's build a house!"

"Okay, let my husband cover it. I'll go home and sew clothes for the children and clean the yard."

"I'll come and help you after I finish my housework. It's hot now, so I have to take a shower and wash clothes every day to keep myself clean. This will make the goddess feel comfortable. If she's happy, she might reach out and touch my head."

"That makes sense, so you must wash your hair every day, so as not to dirty the hands of God."

"Yes, wash it clean. She can touch it anytime she wants."

When talking about this topic, the villagers' faces showed longing.

In the sky, Luo Mingyue's expression was somewhat helpless.

Qing Rui said from the side: "Sister, aren't you always very indulgent and doting on little people? They want you to touch their heads, why are you indifferent..."

Luo Mingyue said: "There are too many people. I can't touch them all. It's too tiring."

Qingrui tilted his head and looked at her, "Let them line up, and touch them one by one with your fingers."

Luo Mingyue didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "It's not that simple."

"Then I'll try." Qingrui said as he lay on the edge of the cardboard box and stretched out his hand towards the Dwarf Village.

"Huh?" The villagers felt the shadow above their heads and looked up.

Qingrui's fingers touched Xu Yintong's head.

Xu Yintong had a confused expression, and the next second, he felt a huge force coming from his head.

Xu Yintong staggered and fell to the ground.

The villagers were shocked at first, then they knelt down in panic, facing the sky, "My Lord, please forgive me!"

"Sir, if you want to hit me, hit me. Don't bully the prophet. She is just a child..." "The prophet is weak. If she makes a mistake, I am willing to take the punishment for her. Please don't be angry."

The villagers quickly begged for mercy, and two villagers knelt beside Xu Yintong and quickly helped her up.

Qing Rui was stunned. "I... I didn't use any strength."

After a pause, he explained, "I just... just wanted to touch her head."

I didn't expect that I would push the girl down.

Xu Yintong got up from the ground and said in embarrassment: "It's okay, I didn't stand firmly."

Qingrui's expression was also very embarrassed. "It's all my fault for using too much force. No wonder my sister said that touching your heads would be tiring. So this is what she meant. I have to be gentler. If I use a little more force, I'll fall down..."

As he was talking, Qingrui's head disappeared into the sky. After all, he had just done something wrong and felt guilty. But when he stood outside the cardboard box, he felt that it would not be good for him to just disappear like this, so he turned to look at Luo Mingyue, "Sister, can you help me comfort her?"

Luo Mingyue said: "I don't think Xu Yintong blames you, so there's no need to comfort her."

Qing Rui scratched his head and said, "Forget it. I will give this village more rain in the future as compensation."

Luo Mingyue said: "No, the rainfall should be moderate. Too much rainfall will also cause disasters."

Qing Rui nodded, said "hmm", and looked towards the Dwarf Village again. He found that many villagers were still kneeling there. He sighed and had to put his head into the cardboard box again, saying, "You guys should get up soon... I really didn't mean any harm just now. I just heard that you all wanted your sister to touch your head, so I wanted to give it a try..."

Xu Yintong said: "It's okay, I'm not hurt, it just happened suddenly and I didn't stand steadily."

"You...you are all dirty." Qingrui didn't know how to make up for it. At this time, Luo Mingyue stuffed a flower into his hand.

Qing Rui looked down, then placed the flower in front of Xu Yintong and said, "I'm sorry for what happened just now. This is for you to make amends."

The flower grew bigger than Xu Yintong. It was a fragrant and elegant gardenia, the color of snow, clean and pure white.

Xu Yintong's eyes lit up on the spot.

No matter how mature she was, she was still just a child, and a girl at that. She was naturally fond of all kinds of beautiful flowers. Unfortunately, most of the flowers in the village were black, and some were dark green. These poisonous flowers had been plucked out. Now, seeing a plain and elegant white flower with soft petals and rich fragrance, Xu Yintong's mood instantly became better. She hugged the gardenia in surprise and asked, "Is this really for me?"

"of course."

Qingrui finished speaking with a look of confusion, because he didn't understand why just an ordinary flower could make this little human girl so happy.

Not only Xu Yintong, several villagers came over, stretched out their hands curiously, wanting to touch the pure white and soft petals, but hesitated and retracted their hands, looking timid.

Qingrui heard a villager muttering, "Forget it, my hands are too ugly, I'd better not touch them..."

Qing Rui felt uncomfortable after hearing this. His attitude towards humans before was neutral and friendly. Neutral means that he would not take the initiative to "give alms" to humans, but if he saw a human in danger, he would save the other person. Therefore, his attitude towards humans was relatively friendly. But today, seeing this group of poor people who were reluctant to touch even a flower, Qing Rui felt a little bit of pity in his heart. He turned to look at Luo Mingyue and asked, "Sister, do you have any flowers?"

Luo Mingyue said: "Yes, but you can't put it directly on the ground, the soil is dirty."

Qing Rui asked, "Is your obsession with cleanliness getting worse? Before, you just asked the little ones to keep clean, but now you don't even allow flowers to fall to the ground?"

Luo Mingyue said: "Actually, I am not a mysophobia, I am just helping the little ones develop good living habits, such as washing hands before meals, maintaining personal hygiene, drinking boiled water, etc., so that they are not prone to getting sick. As for not letting the flowers get dirty, there is a reason. I am going to give you some Sophora japonica flowers, which can be used to fry eggs, which are very fragrant, and can also be made into other foods..."

Qing Rui suddenly realized: "It turns out that this kind of flower can be used as food."

Luo Mingyue took out a piece of cloth, wrapped the locust flowers in it and handed it to Qingrui.

Qingrui poked his head out and said to the little people below: "Make way and give me some space."

The little people were a little afraid of him. Although Qingrui looked like just a child, he was more terrifying precisely because he was a child. Adults had their own code of conduct, but children had not yet formed a complete world view and values. Sometimes they would do certain things out of curiosity, which could cause serious consequences if they were not careful. Qingrui was too big, and he could kill the little people with just a finger. In addition, he had just stretched out his hand and pushed Xu Yintong, so the little people were a little afraid in their hearts, and quickly followed his instructions and made way for a large open space.

Qingrui held the four corners of the rectangular cloth, put the cloth down, and then unfolded it.

The rich fragrance of locust flowers hits you in the face.

Qingrui said: "This is for you. My sister told me that this kind of locust flower can be made into food. You can share it. If you like it, I can give it to you later."

"Sophora japonica?"

The villagers walked forward cautiously and smelled it closely. A few smart villagers hurried to wash their hands, and the rest of the villagers woke up as if from a dream and hurried to wash as well.

After washing, everyone tried to touch the petals of the locust flowers.

"It smells so good..."

"This is a divine flower from heaven. It looks different from the flowers on earth. It's actually this big."

Qingrui also placed a handkerchief in Xu Yintong's yard, with locust petals also piled on it.

Qingrui said: "This is for you alone."

Xu Yintong smiled with her eyes curved, "Thank you, I like it very much, but..."

Qingrui asked: "But what?"

Xu Yintong said: "I can't cook. It would be a waste to give me these petals."

Qing Rui said, "What's the big deal? I have plenty of them here. At worst, I can go out and pick some flowers for you. You can use these locust flowers as decorations instead of cooking them."

Xu Yintong shook her head. "The flowers of Sophora japonica are very fragrant. If we make them into food, they will definitely be delicious. I would be sad if I let them wither."

Qingrui sighed, "Okay, then I'll take them away first, otherwise you won't be able to eat so much."

Xu Yintong raised her head, her silver-white pupils emitting a clear and gentle light, "Well, thank you, sir."

At the same time, the villagers also looked up and expressed their gratitude.

Qingrui felt a little weird, "No need to be so polite..."

This was the first time Qingrui "fed" the little people. He used to think it was boring for his sister to raise little people. Until today, he discovered that these little people were really cute. Especially when the little people thanked him, he would feel an indescribable sense of satisfaction in his heart.

Qing Rui couldn't help but said, "If you want anything else, you can tell me and I'll get it for you."
