Chapter 324 The Kidnapped Girl's Son 8
"An Ming, are the two Taoists you found reliable? They don't look very old, can they be very skilled?"
"He seems to be talking nonsense, saying that there is too much resentment in our village. Can he really see resentment?"
"Besides, I think Boss He is not very old. Is he twenty years old? Don't let yourself be fooled again."
At the entrance of the village, a group of villagers were talking non-stop.
Qin Anming said impatiently: "If you don't trust me, I will let them go and you can face the mountain god on your own."
"Hey, hey, don't be angry. We don't mean any other thing."
Seeing Qin Anming was about to leave, someone quickly pulled him back, "Anyway, we have Boss He here, and we don't have to spend any money to build the mountain temple. He will bless us in the end, so of course we are happy to do it. Aren't you afraid that you will be cheated by them?"
Qin Anming snorted coldly, "Don't worry about this, I know what's going on."
As the son of the clan leader and the only college graduate in the village, Qin Anming has always been proud. He believes that he is different from the peasants in the village.
If his father had not written to him several times to tell him about the mountain god, and if he had not happened to meet a particularly powerful Taoist priest, he would not have cared about such trivial matters.
"Boss He, what are you looking at?"
Qin Anming climbed onto the beam of the house that had not yet been built, looked at He Ziheng who was holding a telescope beside him and asked with a smile.
"I think there seem to be fruit trees on that mountain. Let's go pick two to try later?" He Ziheng put away the telescope and said with a cynical smile.
"Boss He, we can't go to that mountain. It would be bad if we disturb the mountain god." Qin Anming's smile froze on his face when he heard that, and he advised gently.
I thought that since He Ziheng was willing to invest in building a mountain temple, he must be a believer in gods, so I gave up the idea after hearing this.
Unexpectedly, He Ziheng just smiled nonchalantly, "Money makes the world go round. I have built such a big temple for the mountain god now. Can't I just go up the mountain and pick two fruits from him?"
"I'm going to pick it now. I want to see what he can do to me."
He Ziheng said this and jumped down from the beam in a few steps. He walked straight up the mountain regardless of Qin Anying's obstruction.
"An Ming, why is Boss He going up the mountain? Stop him quickly."
"Boss He, you can't go to the mountain, come back quickly."
Everyone tried to stop him, but no one really dared to chase after him and stop him. They were all afraid that if they got one step closer to the mountain, they would die like the dozen or so men who went up the mountain.
Even without the mountain god, the tigers and leopards on the mountain would be enough to scare them away.
He Ziheng looked nonchalant on the surface, but the moment he entered the mountain, all the cynicism on his face disappeared, and he took out the mountaineering equipment he had prepared early in the morning and went up the mountain.
He saw clearly through the telescope these two days that whenever the roar of a tiger was heard in the village, the water flow in the mountain stream was the most ferocious.
When the water flow calmed down, the tiger's roar disappeared.
He was not one of the uneducated villagers in the village. He guessed that the tiger's roar was most likely the echoing sound of water due to the peculiar structure of the valley, which just sounded like a tiger's roar.
More importantly, now that the leaves are falling, I have looked around the entire mountain several times with a telescope, but I haven't seen any large animals such as tigers and leopards.
On the contrary, we saw many rabbits and pheasants running around. If there were tigers and leopards, those small animals would not survive due to natural selection, let alone running around the mountain happily without fear like they are now.
He Ziheng had a hunch that the answer he was looking for was on this mountain.
Those two fires were not natural disasters but man-made. He carefully observed everyone in the village these days and they did not seem like the kind of people who could do such a thing.
So the person who caused the two fires might live in the mountains.
I have to say, He Ziheng guessed right.
But he searched the mountain for two days and found nothing.
There were no tigers or leopards, not even a single human figure was to be seen.
Apart from the small animals running by, the only sound was the sound of his feet stepping on the dead leaves.
He Ziheng returned empty-handed, not knowing that Yun Yi had seen him the day he went up the mountain.
He was just avoiding him and didn't let He Ziheng notice his presence.
His existence was not meant to be known to others.
Yun Yi sat on a tree whose leaves had not yet fallen, and watched He Ziheng go down the mountain.
The villagers will probably be shocked when he comes down the mountain, Yun Yi thought with interest.
-
"It's been two days. Boss He must have encountered a tiger."
"They said we couldn't go to the mountain, An Ming, why didn't you stop us?"
"If something really happens to Boss He, will the construction of the Mountain God Temple be suspended?"
"Construction has already begun. If it is stopped now, will the mountain god be even more unhappy?"
"What should we do if the mountain god gets angry?"
The villagers were talking at once, but no one thought of going up the mountain to find He Ziheng.
"An Ming, you are studying in college outside, so you must know a lot of people. Do you know any other big bosses? Can you find them to help us pay for the construction of the mountain temple?"
"Yes, An Ming, you are the next clan leader, you can't just ignore us."
Qin Anming didn't like these stupid villagers, but he was still very pleased to hear them say that he would be the next patriarch.
As soon as He Ziheng walked into the village, he saw the smug look on Qin Anming's face and sneered in his heart.
He was bullied and nothing in the third-rate university outside, but in this closed and backward village, he finally experienced the feeling of being a local emperor and prince.
"Qin Anming."
He Ziheng shouted, his voice was not loud, but it made the chattering villagers shut up.
For a moment, the village was quiet. Everyone turned their heads and were shocked to see He Ziheng standing there safe and sound.
"Boss He, are you still alive?"
"Boss He, you are still alive after going up the mountain?" The villagers were surprised.
He Ziheng was able to come down alive after climbing the mountain. Does that mean that the mountain god’s punishment on them has disappeared?
"Of course I'm alive. They say money makes the world go round." He Ziheng took out a fruit from his backpack and ate it. "I built such a big mountain temple for him. How could he not let me eat the fruit?"
"Besides, the mountain god's punishment is for the people in your village, not for me."
He Ziheng's eyes fell on Qin Anming. He heard that Qin Chang, who wanted to buy his sister as a wife, was his cousin.
"Boss He, you?"
It is obvious that He Ziheng is one year younger than him, but when facing him, Qin Anyingti couldn't help feeling timid and fearful from the bottom of his heart.
