…

Li Mu's sudden voice reminded the three people who had paused that there was another benefactor present who had saved their child.

"Uh... I'm really sorry for making you laugh! Please help me!"

After reacting, the couple smiled awkwardly at Li Mu, and then invited Li Mu into the house. The main reason was that the whole family was outside. If they were accidentally discovered by the villagers, it would be a big problem.

After everyone entered the house, the third child furtively looked around a few times before closing the door and wiping his hands on his clothes with some restraint.

"What my benefactor said just now is that you don't need to worry about the mountain god's revenge, right?"

The third child thought about what Li Mu said just now and asked with some doubts. He wanted to ask clearly just now, but the sudden appearance of his wife made him forget it. Now he calmed down and recalled it again.

"In fact, there is no so-called mountain god here at all. All of this is a trick made up by thoughtful people to deceive you!"

Li Mu's words made Lao San and his wife stunned. After more than ten years, the concept of mountain gods has been deeply ingrained in their cognition. At this time, someone suddenly came over and said that these are all fake and they are all other people's.

I made it up to deceive you, making it difficult for them to digest it for a while.

"This...don't dare to say this nonsense! Previously, someone in the village didn't believe in the mountain god and was punished by the gods. His whole family died!"

Although the third child had already made up his mind to protect his daughter from being sent out again, such direct criticism of the mountain god made him feel a little guilty, as if he was afraid that the mountain god would hear what they said.

"Dad, it's true! The mountain god is fake. The people who were dedicated to the mountain god before were all taken away secretly."

"Brother Li rescued me from these people, otherwise I might have been taken away too!"

Seeing that her parents didn't believe it, Erya told them one by one how Li Mu rescued her and the information he got from Brother Gou's interrogation.

"Damn them! How could they do these things!"

After learning the truth of the matter, Wang Laosan was shaking with anger and felt angry and regretful that he and the surrounding villagers had been deceived.

"No, I'm going to find the village chief and expose their true colors!"

As he was about to stand up and walk out, Li Mu quickly grabbed him and comforted him.

"Brother, if you go to the village chief like this, I'm afraid they won't believe what you say, and they might even be beaten up!"

The mountain god has accumulated too much power, and the villagers dare not speak out. If the third son goes to the village chief like this, he may be treated as a heretic. If he wants to really get rid of these people, start with the people who were sent out before.

It would be better to let them accuse the priests of everything they did.

"What to do?"

The biggest person Wang Laosan had ever seen in his life was their village chief, and the only one he could think of was the village chief. At this time, what Li Mu said made sense, so he looked at Li Mu and waited for him to come up with an idea.

"This... and... do you understand?"

After listening to Li Mu's arrangement, Wang Laosan nodded in confusion, and then quietly went out with Li Mu.

…

There was a weak fire in the old house at the back of the village. The firewood that could be used as fuel had been burned out. With the remaining fire, the two brothers Wang Heyuan walked back and forth in the house uneasily.

"Brother, Brother Li has been out for so long and still hasn't come back. Nothing will happen to him!"

Wang Heyuan looked at her brother with a worried look on her face, and asked uneasily, it had been almost two hours since Li Mu left, and he hadn't come back. If the village hadn't been so quiet, would Wang Heyuan really think Li Mu was

What happened?

"No, Brother Li is a man who knows magic. Nothing will happen. Maybe he was delayed by something."

Compared to his sister, Wang Heyuan is much calmer, and Li Mu's unpredictable abilities make him full of confidence in Li Mu.

It's just that Li Mu's initial period did take a long time. It has been so long that no one has come back after the village ceremony. Wang Heyuan couldn't help but feel a little uneasy, so he planned to go out and take a look and pick up some firewood.

But when he opened the door crack, he saw two figures in the distance and closed the door in panic, and then covered the fire with sand in his sister's puzzled eyes.

"Brother, what's wrong?"

Seeing her brother suddenly panicking, Wang Heyuan couldn't help but panic too.

"Shh! Someone is coming outside!"

"Could it be Brother Li?"

When Wang Heyuan heard someone outside, the first thing she thought of was Li Mu, who had been out for a long time, and wondered if Li Mu had returned at this time.

"It shouldn't be the case. Brother Li is alone and there are two people outside!"

But Wang Heyuan shook his head and spoke in a low voice. Then he took his sister and hid in a corner of the room. He picked up a wooden stick and stood behind the door panel, waiting for an opportunity.

His heartbeat was pounding, and Wang Heyuan was so nervous that he felt as if his heart was about to jump out of his throat. Beads of sweat were flowing down his cheeks, and he tightened his hands, which were a little loose due to sweat.

The footsteps of the person outside the door were very light, but Wang Heyuan listened carefully and could still hear the sound of shoes stepping on dead branches.

After taking a deep breath, he held his breath, raised the wooden stick with both hands, and stared at the edge of the door, waiting for a fatal blow when the person opened the door!

"Bang bang bang!"

The sudden knock on the door made Wang Heyuan suddenly excited and almost subconsciously swung the wooden stick to hit him. However, he soon heard the people outside the door calling their names in a low voice, which made Wang Heyuan immediately relax.

"He Yuan/He Yuan? Have you slept?"

Wang Heyuan had already heard from the voice that the person outside the door was Li Mu. When he asked questions through the door for the third time, Wang Heyuan quickly opened the door, and sure enough he saw Li Mu standing outside the door, preparing to continue knocking on the door.

"Brother Li, you are back! I thought someone else was coming, and I was scared to death!"

When he saw Li Mu, Wang Heyuan put down the wooden stick and greeted his sister inside. After Li Mu entered the house, the person who followed him made Wang Heyuan's heart skip a beat and he looked at the visitor with some surprise.

"Third uncle? Why did you come here with Brother Li?"

Wang Heyuan is not unfamiliar with Wang Laosan. They are from the same village, and in terms of seniority, he is still his third uncle. However, when he pursued their brother and sister before, he did not take into account the uncle-nephew relationship at all, so he suddenly appeared.

Still wary.

Wang Laosan, on the other hand, smiled awkwardly at Wang Heyuan. Before this, he was indeed a capable man in chasing their brothers and sisters, but now they met again and they didn't know how to get along with each other.

They say that in an avalanche, no snowflake is innocent, and this can be well explained here.

Before that, it was Wang Heyuan's sister who was being sent to worship the mountain god, but they, the villagers who were kept in the dark, still worked tirelessly to persecute her. They didn't realize how powerless they were until the disaster befell their family.
