âI donât know. Iâll just take it one step at a time. As long as we live each day happily, itâs okay.
âIf there is a day when 1 will live forever, 1 believe my godly abilities will manifest by that time. At that time, even if you want to die, Iâm afraid you wonât be able to.â Zhou Ying teased.
âThatâs true. The world is unpredictable, and we just have to live well in the present.â Gu Chengrui nodded in agreement.
âBy the way, weâre almost done collecting the wild roses. Remembered to prepare 150 taels of silver for me,â he reminded Zhou Ying.
âWhat do you think about the wild roses? Did you want to store them in the interspace or sell them?â
âIâve already sent a letter to the Third Prince through Manager Liu to see if they want it. If they donât, weâll save it up. Itâll save us the trouble of going back and forth.â
âItâs fine as long as you know what youâre doing.â Zhou Ying gave him a small number of silver notes worth 200 taels.
After that, one went to the manor while the other went to Xinâan village. They were pulled aside and asked whether they knew about Mother God as soon as they arrived. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
The two of them nodded to that.
As a result, the people of the manor and Xinâan village all went to the Mother God Temple to look around; even the soldiers were curious.
However, who knew how many of them believed it for real? Regardless, the Mother God Temple was lively and bustling.
The people in the manor and those in Xinâan village even pooled money to buy incense from town.
Especially the people of Xinâan village. The sweet potatoes and meat they had bought had already been eaten, and they were the same as these disaster refugees, basically relying on wild vegetables to survive.
If they could get some food this way, they would be saved.
The coffin shop in the town was reopened, and the news of Mother Godâs manifestation spread.
As for the refugees, although they were upset that the news had spread, they had no choice but to move out of the Mother God Temple.
The Mother God Temple was emptied for the people to offer incense and prayers.
At noon, Uncle Hu came back from buying incense. He found Hu Chun, who was cultivating the wild roses, and said, âChun, letâs try it. Iâve already bought the incense.â
âUncle, do you really believe that?â Hu Chun looked at him in surprise.
âI do. I remember when prayers in the Mother God Temple were strong when we were young. I also heard from the elders that salvation would appear every time there was a great disaster in the past, so we must try.â
âJust give it a try. If we can really get food, no matter what it is, our lives will be better. Suppose the children hurt their bodies from starving; it will be too late to make up for it in the future.â Gu Chengrui reminded Hu Chun.
He hesitated momentarily and continued, âBut since youâre going, you must be sincere. 1 heard that the old ladies who lived in the temple had to offer incense three times a day and guard it for three days before they could get food.
Hu Chun hesitated but finally nodded in agreement. As they said, the adults were fine, but the children shouldnât have their futures let down.
Therefore, he said to Uncle Hu, âLeave a few people to guard the village and bring the rest. Remember to bring every family, especially the children.
âSince weâll pay our respects, we must show our greatest sincerity.â
âAlright, Iâll gather the people now.â Uncle Hu responded, turned around, and ran off with the joss sticks in his hand.
After gathering, Hu Chun looked at everyone and said, âI wonât force those who donât want to go, but those who go must bring their greatest sincerity.
âOf course, those going there to watch the fun should not go either.
âBecause weâre not going to a temple fair, but a sacred place. This is not a trifling matter, so do you all understand?â
âWe understand.â Everyone immediately nodded.
âLetâs go.â Hu Chun brought his men and solemnly rushed toward Mother God Temple..
