After the divorce, I became a mountain god

Since arriving in Kaoshan Village, although Yan Fusheng has not had much contact with the people of Kaoshan for various reasons, this pure land has given him an unprecedented sense of peace and tranquility. He no longer has to live in fear as before. Only here does he feel like a living, breathing person for the first time.

Xu Bo'an could sense the intense anticipation in Yan Fusheng's question. Xu Bo'an said to Yan Fusheng, "I always keep my word. You can rest assured that you and your son can live a free and easy life in Kaoshan Village, just like everyone else!"

Upon hearing the words of the Mountain God, Yan Fusheng's face lit up with joy. He said to the Mountain God, "Mountain God, you see, I was confused. Since you have said so, I can stay in Kaoshan Village with peace of mind from now on. This humble citizen thanks you for your protection!"

Xu Bo'an said, "As the mountain god, it is my duty to protect the people. Alright, if you encounter any problems you cannot solve in the future, just come to me. If there is nothing else, I will take my leave now!"

Upon hearing the words of the Mountain God, Yan Fusheng, Yan Qiyuan, and Li Erhu and his wife all said in unison, "Respectfully seeing off the Mountain God!"

After a long while without hearing the voice of the Mountain God, the group stood up from the ground.

Li Erhu and Wang Guifen were quite surprised when they heard that Yan Fusheng was actually an imperial physician, but since the Mountain God was still around, they didn't say too much.

Now that the Mountain God has left, Li Erhu looked at Yan Fusheng with surprise and said, "Mr. Yan, I finally understand why you didn't interact much with the people of Kaoshan Village. To be honest, I also thought your behavior was a bit strange at first. It turns out that you had so many difficulties. It seems that we all misunderstood you. I will talk to the village chief about this matter later so that the villagers will stop looking at you with strange eyes."

Wang Guifen echoed Li Erhu's words and said to Yan Fusheng, "I really didn't expect you to be a royal physician. It's quite a surprise. Erhu is right. I'll have him talk to the village chief about this. The village chief will definitely protect you and will never let the villagers misunderstand you again!"

Yan Fusheng's son, who was standing to the side, was also very happy after hearing what everyone said. He said to everyone, "Does this mean I can go to school with Xiaopang and the others to learn and play together from now on?"

Xiao Pang is the nickname of Li Erhu and Wang Guifen's son.

Yan Fusheng's son is not even ten years old yet, still at the age where he is playful. In the month since he came to Kaoshan Village, he has been very interested in everything about Kaoshan Village.

He longed to leave his room every day to study and play with his friends, and he also wanted to explore unknown and novel things, but his father wouldn't let him go out, so he had no choice but to obey his father.

Now that he heard he could live freely here, Yan Qiyuan was happier than anyone else, so he couldn't wait to tell everyone this.

Upon hearing his son's words, Yan Qiyuan's father, Yan Fusheng, cupped his son's face and nodded, saying, "Yes, son, you can play freely with other children from now on. But remember one thing: don't mention our past to anyone. That way, we'll be safer, understand?"

Upon hearing his father's words, Yan Qiyuan nodded happily and then ran excitedly out the door.

Yan Fusheng watched his son run off happily, and a smile crept onto his face. He hoped his son could continue to be carefree, and that he could take revenge on his daughter and wife himself.

Only after his son's figure disappeared from sight did Yan Fusheng turn back to Li Erhu and say, "The ointment on your body has been applied for almost time. After you clean it off, I'd like to see how effective it is."

After hearing Yan Fusheng's words, Li Erhu nodded and walked towards the gift to clean off his ointment. After a short while, Li Erhu cleaned off the ointment and came out of the outer room. At this time, the rashes on Li Erhu's body did not look as red as before, and the discomfort he felt had also lessened a lot.

Yan Fusheng examined Li Erhu and asked him how he felt. He then prepared some ointment for Li Erhu to apply, said goodbye to the couple, and left.

After Yan Fusheng left, Li Erhu hurriedly went out to find the village chief, Li Kanshan. When he arrived at Li Kanshan's house, Li Erhu explained everything about Yan Fusheng to him clearly. After understanding the ins and outs of the matter, Li Kanshan couldn't help but feel sorry for Yan Fusheng and admire him. He felt sorry for his tragic experience and admired his ability to consider the safety of the whole village and choose to endure for so long.

Village Chief Li Kanshan said that he would never let the villagers misunderstand them again, and that he would help the villagers get along well with the poor father and son.

After Li Erhu finished telling Li Kanshan about the matter, he came out of the village chief's house and ran into Xiao Pang and Yan Qiyuan walking towards him.

School had already let out, so Li Erhu asked Xiaopang to take Yan Qiyuan to their house for dinner. He also asked Yan Qiyuan to invite his father, Yan Fusheng, along. However, Yan Qiyuan, who was always very strict with his family, dared not tell his father about this.

Seeing this, Li Erhu went to Yan Qiyuan's house with him. At this time, Yan Fusheng was sitting at the table reading. When he saw Li Erhu, he thought that Li Erhu had come to see him for treatment again. But that shouldn't be the case. He had been a doctor for many years and had been the emperor's personal physician. He was confident that he could cure Li Erhu's illness.

Just as he was thinking this, Li Erhu said to Yan Fusheng very politely, "I have already explained everything about you to the village chief. The village chief said that he will never mistreat you and your son in the future, and will not allow the villagers to have any misunderstandings about you and your son. You can just stay here in peace!"

After hearing Li Erhu's words, Yan Fusheng said to Li Erhu, "Thank you so much, Brother Erhu!"

Li Erhu said to Yan Fusheng, "A good person like you deserves good treatment. I was just relaying the truth, why thank me! Oh, by the way, I came here to invite you and Yuan'er to my house for dinner!"

Upon hearing Li Erhu's words, Yan Fusheng quickly said, "Brother Erhu, this is unacceptable!"

Li Erhu said, "I already told my wife to cook a nice meal for you and your son before I left. What's wrong with that?"

Yan Fusheng said, "This is too much trouble for you and Sister Guifen!" Li Erhu said, "You helped me with my illness today, and you can now live freely in Kaoshan Village. Both of these things are worth celebrating. Please don't stand on ceremony with me. Come with me quickly, or your Sister Guifen will be getting impatient!"

Since Yan Fusheng's wife and daughter left, he had been depressed every day. Today was a rare day when he felt relatively happy. Seeing that Li Erhu was so eager to persuade him, he agreed and said, "Okay, I'm happy today, let's go together!"

After saying that, the group headed towards Li Erhu's house.

After Xu Bo'an left the Bonsai World, he learned that Li Erhu had contracted a disease called "filth miasma". Knowing that the disease was caused by an unclean environment or inadequate cleaning, he got up and went to the supermarket in Wanda Plaza nearby, thinking of buying some toiletries for the little people.

Xu Bo'an remembers when he was a child living in the village, the three of them squeezed into a cave dwelling. All his clothes were sewn by his mother stitch by stitch, from underwear to cotton-padded clothes and shoes. Everything was sewn by his mother's skillful hands under the dim light of a kerosene lamp.

I remember that back then, when winter came, the house was so cold that the adults and children wouldn't take a bath all winter long. Because there weren't many clothes to change into, and there weren't all the different toiletries available in modern society, Xu Bo'an's clothes often had to be worn for a long time before being changed.

During the day, I was too busy playing at school to feel the itch, but when I got into bed at night, I felt itchy all over, as if many insects were crawling on me. So Xu Bo'an took off the vest he was wearing underneath, which we now call a vest, and saw that there were many lice on it. Then, under the dim light, he used his thumbnail to crush the lice on the vest one by one until all the lice on the vest were dead before he could sleep peacefully.

This is not an exaggeration at all. When I was very young, I lived in a relatively backward rural area. Almost everyone had lice on their bodies, and many people's heads were covered with lice. It was only after conditions improved and various washing and care products appeared, and people gradually had more new clothes, that the lice species disappeared.

Furthermore, the bonsai world existed in an extremely primitive era with very poor living conditions. The unclean environment and inadequate cleaning made it easy for people to contract this kind of foul-smelling disease.
After quickly tidying up, Xu Bo'an went out. Wanda Plaza was near his home, so there was no need to drive; he walked there instead.

After arriving there, we had a quick meal and then headed to a convenience store in Wanda Plaza. Inside, we went straight to the household goods section and selected various daily necessities, including soap, laundry detergent, hand soap, shampoo, and shower gel. We then paid at the checkout.
Because he had purchased a lot of items, which met the criteria for home delivery, Xu Bo'an was too lazy to carry them home himself, so he told the supermarket staff to provide him with home delivery service.

After giving his instructions, Xu Bo'an was about to go home. Just as he reached the supermarket entrance, a person walking hurriedly entered and bumped into him. The person quickly apologized to Xu Bo'an, saying, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Oh, is that Bo'an?"

When Xu Bo'an heard the person call his name, he immediately looked up and saw that the person in front of him was actually his cousin, Li Ruiming.

Xu Bo'an's cousin was from the same village as him. Because Xu Bo'an's mother and Li Ruiming's mother were from the same village and were related by marriage, their children, Xu Bo'an and Li Ruiming, became cousins.

Actually, their relationship wasn't that close, but because they were about the same age and lived in the same village, they often went to and from school together when they were in elementary school, and they often went to their grandmother's house together. They were inseparable, and over time, their relationship became quite good. In addition, they were related by blood, so Xu Bo'an always called him his cousin.

And this cousin named Li Ruiming is the little boy who was saved by Teacher Hu when he was in elementary school!

Xu Bo'an looked at Li Ruiming with some surprise and said, "Cousin? What are you doing here?"

Li Ruiming used to work in a neighboring city, reportedly transporting goods for a logistics company, so it was quite unexpected for Xu Bo'an to run into him here.

Li Ruiming looked at Xu Bo'an with great delight and said to him, "I've found a job in Dongjiang now!"

Xu Bo'an said, "No wonder I ran into you here. What have you been up to?"

Li Ruiming looked at Xu Bo'an somewhat embarrassed and said, "Hey, I'm busy picking up and delivering food!"

Xu Bo'an hadn't paid much attention to Li Ruiming's clothes before, but after hearing what he said, he began to examine Li Ruiming's attire and discovered that Li Ruiming was indeed wearing a uniform for food delivery workers.

Xu Bo'an said, "Weren't you doing well working at a logistics company nearby? Why did you switch to delivering food?"

Li Ruiming said to Xu Bo'an, "This is a long story, and it can't be explained in a short time."

Xu Bo'an said, "We haven't seen each other for many years. My house is nearby. If you have time, come over for a visit and we can have a good chat."

Li Ruiming thought that he hadn't seen Xu Bo'an for a long time, and it would be good for the two brothers to chat since they finally met today. As for taking delivery orders, there was no rush.

Thinking of this, Li Ruiming said to Xu Bo'an, "That's fine then!"

After saying that, Li Ruiming took off his helmet and followed Xu Bo'an out of the supermarket. The two chatted casually for a while until they reached the front door of Xu Bo'an's house.

Li Ruiming was quite surprised to see Xu Bo'an walk to the villa entrance. He said to Xu Bo'an in disbelief, "Bo'an, have you taken the wrong road?"

Xu Bo'an smiled and said to Li Ruiming, "Cousin, are you kidding me? Do you think I don't know my own way around?" (End of Chapter)
