“Yes, we heard it’s working, so we came to offer our prayers.” Zhao Cheng answered.
“Are you guys lacking food?”
“We don’t lack for now. We’re planning to ask for peace.”
“I see. Come, sit down and eat together. I’ll go with you after we’re done.”
“Thank you, but we’ve finished eating. We just came to visit because we passed by.” Zhao Cheng replied as he waved his hand. He then turned around and left with the others.
Zhou Ying didn’t stop them and shouted, “Come back again when you leave!”
“Okay, mistress.” Zhao Cheng responded and continued up the mountain.
After the couple finished their meal quickly, they prepared a bag of fresh vegetables, half a bag of dried white potatoes, and half a bag of dried pumpkin for Zhao Cheng and the others.
After sending them off, the patriarch came to them with five eggs and said, “The village got 2,000 eggs from Mother God, so we divided them amongst everyone. These are five eggs for you two; although it’s not much, it’s still a gift from Mother God. Do take them.”
“Thank you for making this trip, uncle.” Gu Chengrui thanked him as he took it.
“No problem, but I’m ashamed of this.
“We’ve been guarding the Mother God Temple for many years, but we’ve never considered paying our respects. 1 didn’t expect that we’d be blessed by an outsider.” The patriarch shook his head helplessly.
“The world is unpredictable, so don’t worry too much. Just be yourself.” Gu Chengrui replied.
“That’s true; the past is in the past.
“However, no matter what outsiders think of us, the Gu clan will always be followers of Mother God.
“Later in the evening, I will gather all the men of the Gu clan. We’re planning to go up the mountain to offer and burn incense. So, remember to gather at the ancestral hall early.”
“Sure, I’ll be there.” Gu Chengrui nodded.
After sending off the patriarch, Gu Chengrui returned and hugged Zhou Ying. He kissed her twice, saying, “If they knew that the goddess they were going to pay respects to was my wife, I don’t know what they would think.”
“I mean, you can choose not to go.”
“I’m planning to go. Maybe 1 can provide you with more faith because of our relationship.
“Besides, it’s not embarrassing to kneel to your wife.”
On the other side, after County Magistrate Kong sent a letter to the Third Prince, he asked his officers to run an errand to the various towns.
He told all the village constables to bring all their town leaders, as well as every village chief and clan patriarch. He wanted to gather them in Qingshui town to worship Mother God together.
At the same time, he informed Tian Jing Zhong to set up the incense table and prepare a meal for everyone.
Conversely, the Third Prince had finally received Manager Liu’s letter. After reading the contents of the letter, he did not believe it.
This was because he never believed in these enigmatic things at all. Otherwise, where would the souls of so many soldiers be placed after their deaths?
Also, why were those evildoers still alive and about? No one seemed to be punishing them.
Zhou Huaiming looked at his expression and knew what he was thinking. After contemplating for a moment, he spoke up, saying, “This matter should be taken seriously. Since Uncle Liu sent us a letter, regardless of the methods, someone has been scattering large amounts of grain in Yunhe County.
“Although mixed flour is a little unpalatable and rough to the stomach, it has won many people’s hearts. I’m afraid that someone did it with bad intentions.”
As he finished speaking, a messenger ran in and reported, “General, County Magistrate Kong from Yunhe County bears news.”
“Oh, give it to me,” the Third Prince said, curiously extending his hand.
The messenger immediately handed him the note respectfully and then quickly left.
The Third Prince opened the note and read it carefully. The small note, with its tiny words, objectively described the manifestation of Mother God.
Of course, it also talked about how Mother God treated everyone differently.
Finally, he also mentioned that someone who once ate humans went to offer his prayers to the Mother God Temple. The person came back retarded..
