The raging karma fire soon frightened the nearby residents. Everyone rushed to put out the fire. Under the chaos, countless people looked frightened.
Wen Ranran and Ye Junmeng had already jumped to the highest mountain nearby. Looking at the fire at the bottom of the mountain, Wen Ranran also sighed.
Her original intention was to directly burn the so-called gunpowder in the back mountain, but Gu Yixi told her that the gunpowder would be even more toxic after being lit, so it must be handled with caution. When she was in Hangzhou at that time, because she was in
It was burned on the river, so it didn't have any huge impact.
But now in the mountains and forests, if you light it rashly, you will fall into the trap of this chronic drug.
Therefore, Wen Ranran could only give up the original Gunsmoke plan for the time being. After all, they had to get this batch of goods before dealing with it. However...the ignorance of these villagers still forced Wen Ranran to start in advance.
"Fortunately, Xuanyi Pavilion took the lead in setting up an isolation zone around the fire area. Now the fire looks fierce, but it has not caused any substantial damage!"
Ye Junmeng patted Wen Ranran on the shoulder, "Otherwise, we will set fire to the mountain and sit in jail. This is not empty talk!"
Wen Ranran twitched the corner of her mouth.
It's the lesser of two similar evils. Although it is immoral to create a fire, compared to this long-lasting cholera, this "karma fire sent down by the gods" can change the villagers' sense of security in a certain sense.
This idea can be regarded as the best solution under the current situation.
This firefighting continued until daylight.
The sky was dark, and what should have been a small village with beautiful mountains and clear waters was now filled with smoke, and countless villagers gathered under an open space at the foot of the mountain.
Above the open space is a huge altar for worshiping the mountain god, and everyone gathers here.
"Village Chief Meng! This is what we saw last night! The woman in white claimed to be the mountain god and rode a huge monster. She said that cholera was attacking our village, so she got angry and wanted to bring down the karma..."
"Village Chief! Please make up your mind!"
Lao Meng refused without thinking.
"How is that possible! Since the establishment of the ***, our entire village has become richer. If it were before, how could you earn so much money every year?! Ah?"
"***! This is a gift from the mountain god! How could it be cholera!"
Lao Meng looked at Wang Laosan and Lao Li angrily, "If you two continue to confuse people with your lies here... I will directly sacrifice you to the mountain god!"
Wang Laosan shrank his neck and did not dare to speak.
On the side, Lao Li was an honest man, and he still said seriously now, "But... we really saw it! This fire happened bizarrely, that's why..."
"Shut up!"
Lao Meng shouted sternly to stop the other party.
He is a smart man, and he and his wife have lived in this Qingshui Village for generations. No one wants to give up on this kind of profiteering move.
This matter is strange. If it is man-made... what is the other party's purpose?
However, just because Lao Meng thinks this way does not mean that the surrounding villagers think so.
"Village Chief! Wang Laosan can forget it, but Lao Li is an honest person...it should be impossible for him to lie!"
"Yes, the village chief, this fire happened strangely. Even if he said it, he couldn't really see it in such detail, right?!"
"Village Chief... It's true that this **** is making money, but now the strong men in our village who used to be fishermen are now a lot thinner..."
"This ***, is it good or bad..."
The surrounding villagers spoke in a few words, each expressing their own opinions, which made the village chief suddenly feel confused.
"Shut up! You have been living in this village for so long! The mountain god is a god! How could you let these two mortals see it easily? If you continue to confuse the public with your lies here, don't blame me..."
Before Lao Meng finished speaking, he saw a huge thing jumping out of the dense forest.
