After the divorce, I became a mountain god

Chapter 697 The Oiran Returns Home

Thinking that the Mountain God had given them food, they drew their knives against him, which was a very disrespectful act. The two brothers quickly put away their daggers, knelt on the ground and kowtowed several times, saying in fear and trepidation: "Grandpa Mountain God, please forgive our ignorance. It was pitch black here just now, and we mistakenly thought that there were enemies attacking. I hope that Grandpa Mountain God will forgive us!"

Seeing Zhou Chunlan and her son trembling with fear at this moment, Xu Bo'an comforted them: "Forget it, ignorance is not a crime. I will not blame you for such a small matter. Don't panic!"

When the few people heard that the mountain god did not blame them, they felt a little relieved and felt fortunate to have survived the disaster.

Before, they had only learned from their father's letters that the Mountain God was a tolerant and generous god who loved his people like his own children. But this time, the Mountain God not only gave them food, but also forgave their disrespectful behavior, making them truly feel the greatness of the Mountain God, and their hearts were instantly warmed.

After all, in this era, let alone using weapons against gods, even if you target officials from the county government, you will inevitably be beaten up or even blackmailed!

According to mythology, the king of a small country displeased the gods because of a misunderstanding. The gods then placed a mountain of rice on the ground and ordered a chicken to eat up all the rice and a dog to lick the ground clean before they would allow it to rain.

Therefore, the punishment for offending the gods is severe.

Thinking of this, several people hurriedly kowtowed again and thanked him with gratitude: "Thank you, Grandpa Mountain God, thank you, Grandpa Mountain God."

After Xu Bo'an and the others calmed down, he told Yan Shouyi, "Yan Shouyi, since the matter has been investigated, I will leave first. You should pay more attention to the mother and son's affairs!"

When Yan Shou heard the Mountain God's order, he quickly agreed, "I will obey the Mountain God's order! I will definitely do it!"

After a while, he did not hear the Mountain God's response, knowing that the Mountain God had left, and then he said to the Mountain God statue very respectfully: "Farewell, Mountain God."

Then a group of people stood up from the ground.

It was already very late, and after Xu Boan left the Bonsai World, he turned off the lights and went to rest.

After Xu Boan left, in the bonsai world, Yan Shouyi handed over the food that Xu Boan had just given to Zhou Chunlan and others on the incense table.

Then he said, "Sister-in-law, this is a flood that has washed away the Dragon King Temple. I apologize for what happened just now. Please don't take it to heart."

Zhou Qiulan said anxiously, "I can't do that. I don't deserve it!"

Seeing that they were still a little reserved, Yan Shouyi kindly picked up a piece of bread and said, "This is a delicacy from the fairyland. This is the first time you have seen it, and I'm afraid you don't know how to eat it. Let me teach you!"

As he spoke, he pinched the serrated edge of the bread bag with both hands, and with a gentle tear, he opened the bag.

"Look, that's it. Just open the package and you can eat it directly. Come on, try it!"

Yan Shou handed the opened bread to Zhou Qiulan.

Zhou Qiulan nodded with a smile and thanked him repeatedly, but she did not dare to take the things Yan Shouyi gave her. She just said, "My Lord, you have taken good care of us. It is only natural that I give half of these things to you!"

Ordinary people are still very fearful of officials, not to mention that these things are now in Yan Shouyi's hands. Zhou Qiulan still knows that she should understand something.

Yan Shouyi didn't say much when he saw this. He sighed slightly, raised his hand to call for someone and said, "Go, arrange a room for this sister-in-law and her friends, and prepare some water for them."

Someone immediately took the order and went.

Yan Shouyi then said to Zhou Qiulan, "These things are gifts from the Mountain God. You can take them. I will accept this piece of dry food, but you must take the rest. Otherwise, I will not be able to see the Mountain God again."

After hearing what Yan Shouyi said, Zhou Qiulan nodded hastily and said, "Thank you, sir! Thank you, sir!"

Yan Shouyi nodded without saying anything else. After saying goodbye to a few people, he left.

Zhou Chunlan, her mother and her two sons finally breathed a sigh of relief when they arrived at the residence arranged by Yan Shouyi.

Although the conditions here are very poor and it is just a temporary house built with wood and branches, it is already a rare high-quality habitat for them along the way.

Due to limited funds along the way, the mother and her two sons saved as much as possible. They lived in alleys, abandoned houses, bridge holes, etc. They had never even stayed in a proper inn twice. Now, to have a place to shelter from the wind and rain, as well as water and food, was already a very good treatment.

They had been traveling in a hurry in recent days, which consumed a lot of physical energy. They didn't bring much food to begin with, and the mother and her two children had calculated the food they ate according to the number of days. They were already starving at this time, and when they saw the magical food given by the Mountain God, they were already drooling.

Yu Daoquan had been working outside since his two sons were very young. He had no time to take care of his family and could only go home a few times a year. Sometimes he only went home to visit once every few years.

Zhou Chunlan took care of everything at home alone. She sewed clothes and mended shoes and socks at night. During the day, she not only had to do farm work but also had to take care of the eating, drinking, and defecation of her family. It was very hard work.

Fortunately, Yu Jinan and Yu Jinning were very sympathetic to their mother's hard work. Zhou Chunlan was very pleased and felt that all the efforts were worth it. At this time, the two brothers were already starving, but they were very sensible. Although they drooled when they saw the delicacies given by the mountain god, they would never tell their mother if she didn't ask.

Zhou Chunlan also knew that the appetite of the two boys was so large that they could only survive the journey to Kaoshan Village with the little food they had. They had not had a full meal in the past few days because they had been in a hurry to travel. Thinking of this, Zhou Chunlan said to her two sons, "An'er, Ning'er, the mountain god has given us so much food. I know you two have been starving these days. Come over and eat with us!"

When the two sons heard what their mother said, they looked at her and swallowed the saliva in their mouths while saying to her, "Mom, is it really edible? Is the food we brought enough?"

After hearing what her son said, Zhou Chunlan looked at her two sensible sons with a gratified smile and said, "Even without adding the leftover food, the food given to us by the mountain god is enough for us to eat on the road."

After that, he took out the big piece of fragrant meat that Xu Bo'an had given him and said to his two sons, "You haven't eaten meat for a long time, let's eat some of this fragrant meat first!"

When the two sons looked at the huge piece of delicious meat, their saliva secreted even more, their Adam's apples kept moving, and their greed was obviously evident.

The two brothers quickly followed their mother's instructions and tore off the red packaging on the surface of the meat. Instantly, a unique and rich meat aroma spread throughout the house, and the rosy-colored meat was revealed. The surface of the meat had an attractive luster and looked extremely delicious.

The older Yu Jinan took out a dagger, cut off a small half of the fragrant meat, divided it into three portions of similar size, handed them to his mother Zhou Chunlan and his younger brother Yu Jinning respectively, and kept the remaining portion for himself.

Then, they began to enjoy the delicious food. The youngest son, Yu Jinning, took a bite and exclaimed, "Wow, this fragrant meat given by the Mountain God is so delicious. I have never eaten anything so delicious!"

The eldest son Yu Jinan chewed the fragrant meat and echoed: "The food in the fairy world is really delicious. Eating this fragrant meat is simply a pleasure!"

Zhou Chunlan sighed deeply and said with emotion: "Mother, I am already this old, and I have never seen such delicacies in this world. The mountain god is willing to give us such delicious immortal food. It is really a blessing for us to cultivate for several lifetimes!"

While enjoying the delicious food, the mother and her two sons kept praising the mountain god for his great grace.

Since ancient times, joy and sorrow have been at different frequencies, some are happy while others are sad. In the bonsai world, Zhou Chunlan and her mother and two of them are enjoying the delicacy happily, while on the other side, Chen Shishi and Yan Xiaojiu are experiencing a completely different scene.

Chen Shishi and Yan Xiaojiu just arrived safely at their hometown this morning.

This place is located in a house in Baigou County, on the western outskirts of Cangnan Daodu City. Returning to their old home again, Yan Xiaojiu opened the long-missed door and stepped inside with his elder sister Chen Shishi. Because no one had lived in the yard for more than ten years, there was no life at all. At this time, the yard was overgrown with weeds, and the house in front could hardly be seen clearly. The overall look was desolate.

Yan Xiaojiu walked into the yard and looked at the familiar yet desolate scene. The grief from more than ten years ago suddenly came to his mind. Yan Xiaojiu couldn't help but feel a lump in his throat and tears welled up in his eyes. Then he couldn't help but burst out of his eyes and the tip of his nose trembled slightly involuntarily.

Chen Shishi turned around and saw her brother Yan Xiaojiu looking very sad, and she couldn't help but feel sad. Although she had only stayed in this family for a few years, the warm scenes of her childhood were still vivid in her mind.

Daddy Yan Tianxing was in the escort business. He was a big burly guy with a square face that was extremely resolute, and his eyes and brows revealed a domineering aura. At that time, my younger brother Yan Xiaojiu was not born yet. Every time he came back from escorting the caravan, he would bring back a lot of delicious food from all over the place and some new toys for my mother and myself.

My mother, Tao Xingchun, was a lady from a prominent family in Kyoto. She was beautiful, graceful, and well-versed in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. She was a famous beauty in the surrounding area.

But she was never pretentious. On weekdays, she would help her father with the trivial matters of the escort agency, from arranging the escort's itinerary to preparing the escort's supplies. She handled everything in an orderly manner. When she met people in need, her mother would always donate generously and lend a helping hand. She was also well-known in several nearby counties.

When she was a child, her father often took her to play in the martial arts training ground of the escort agency and taught her some boxing and dart skills. Her mother was a lady from a wealthy family who had seen a lot of the world. The reason why Chen Shishi is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting is largely because her mother provided her with a good enlightenment when she was a child.

Chen Shishi vaguely remembers the loving look in her parents' eyes when she was a child, as gentle and warm as the spring sun. Now that her parents are no longer in this world, Chen Shishi can no longer feel the warmth that belongs only to her parents.

When she and Yan Xiaojiu met each other before, Yan Xiaojiu told her that their parents and more than a dozen servants in the family were killed. He was playing outside at the time, so he escaped. When he returned home, he saw that the house had been ransacked. Yan Xiaojiu, who was still young at the time, was heartbroken when he saw this scene.
He was determined to find evidence to avenge his parents. Yan Xiaojiu, who was less than ten years old at that time, spent a day and a night searching every corner of the house, but did not find any clues about the enemy. Moreover, he knew that he was still young and did not have the strength to compete with the enemy, so he resolutely set foot on a foreign land, thinking that one day when he became stronger, he would avenge his innocent dead parents.

In order to avoid being hunted down by his enemies, he changed his name to Yan Xiaojiu and lived a miserable life. He suffered a lot over the years before he got his way in the government office. After years of experience, he finally became a captain of the police, thinking that it would be easier to find the cause of his parents' death.

However, as the captain of the police, he has been busy with his public duties for so many years. He can only look for the cause of his parents' death in his free time after work. After so many years, there is still no clue about the cause of his parents' death.

He thought about resigning from his public office countless times and spending all his time on finding out the cause of his parents' death, but what would he do if he resigned from his public office alone? So he extinguished the absurd idea in his mind.

After meeting elder sister Chen Shishi by coincidence, Yan Xiaojiu saw that the village was protected by the mountain god and life was peaceful. In order to make up for his regret that he could not be with his relatives day and night, he resigned as a constable and reunited with his only relative in the world, elder sister.

This time, the brother and sister returned to Cangyun Dao again, not only to return home to worship their ancestors, but also to find out the cause of their parents' death.

Although Chen Shishi was very sad, as an elder sister, she felt very distressed to see her brother, a man of seven feet tall, crying. She wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and comforted her brother, "Xiaojiu, it has been more than ten years. Although we will never forget this painful blow, our top priority right now is to find clues as soon as possible and seek revenge for our parents."

It was not easy for the siblings to come back. Yan Xiaojiu also knew that time was tight and the mission was heavy. He raised his hand and wiped away the useless tears from his eyes. Then, his heart turned into a powerful force. He said to his elder sister: "Sister, I understand. You go and rest for a while. I will pull out some weeds to make way for a path."

As he spoke, Yan Xiaojiu rolled up his sleeves, picked up a hatchet beside him, spit on his palm, and started to pick up the weeds in the yard that were as tall as a person. (End of this chapter)
