Chapter 218 Explained
...

Li Mu's sudden voice reminded the three people who had come to a standstill that there was another benefactor present who saved their children.

"Uh... I'm so sorry, I made you laugh! Please, Enkmil!"

The couple who reacted awkwardly smiled at Li Mu, and then invited Li Mu into the house. The main reason is that their whole family is outside, and if they are accidentally discovered by the villagers, it will be a big problem.

After everyone entered the house, the third child looked around furtively for a few times before closing the door behind him, and kept wiping his clothes with somewhat cautious hands.

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

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

"In fact, you don't have any so-called mountain gods here at all. All these are tricks fabricated by people with intentions to deceive you!"

Li Mu's words made the third child and his daughter-in-law stunned. The concept of mountain gods has been deeply rooted in their cognition after more than ten years. It was made up to lie to you, which made it hard for them to digest for a while.

"This... don't dare to talk nonsense! Some people in the village did not believe in the mountain god and were punished by God, and the whole family died!"

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

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

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

Seeing that her parents didn't believe her, Er Ya told them how Li Mu rescued her and the information from Brother Gou's interrogation.

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

After learning the truth of the matter, Wang Laosan trembled with anger, feeling angry and regretful that he and the surrounding villagers were deceived.

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

As he said that, he was about to get up and go out, but Li Mu grabbed him quickly and comforted him.

"Brother, if you just go to the village chief like this, I'm afraid they won't believe what you said, and they may even be beaten back!"

The mountain god's prestige is too deep, and the villagers dare not speak out. If the third child goes to the village chief like this, he may be treated as a heretic. If we want to really get rid of these people, we must start with those who were sent out before. It will be better, let them sue the priests for everything they have done.

"What shall we do then?"

The biggest person Wang Laosan has ever met in his life is their village chief, and the only one he can think of is 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.

"So... and... understand?"

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

……

The fire in the old house at the back of the village was glowing weakly, and the firewood that could be used as fuel had been burned out. With the remaining fire, Wang Heyuan and his brother and sister walked back and forth in the house with some anxiety.

"Brother, Brother Li has been away for so long and hasn't come back, so nothing will happen!"

Wang Heyuan looked at her brother with a worried expression on her face, and said, "Ask anxiously, almost two hours have passed since Li Mu went out, and he hasn't come back yet. If it wasn't for the quietness of the village, Wang Heyuan really thought that Li Mu was Something happened.

"No, brother Li is a person who knows magic, nothing will happen, maybe it was delayed by something."

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

It’s just that Li Mu’s early days were indeed a bit long, and now that the village ceremony was over and no one came back, Wang Heyuan couldn’t help but feel a little uneasy, so he planned to go out and have a look, and bring back some firewood by the way.

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

"Brother, what's wrong?"

Seeing that her brother was so panicked suddenly, Wang Heyuan couldn't help but also panicked.

"Shh! Someone is coming outside!"

"Could it be Brother Li?"

Hearing that there were people outside, the first thing Wang Heyuan thought of was Li Mu who had been away for a long time, wondering if Li Mu had come back at this time.

"Probably not, brother Li is alone, and there are two people outside!"

But Wang Heyuan shook his head, said in a low voice, then took his sister to hide in a corner of the room, picked up a wooden stick and guarded behind the door panel, waiting for an opportunity.

With his heart beating thumping, Wang Heyuan felt so nervous that his heart was about to jump out of his throat. Beads of sweat rolled down his cheeks, and his hands tightened the palms that were a little slack from sweating.

The footsteps of the people outside the door were very light, but Wang Heyuan could still hear the sound of shoes stepping on dead branches under Wang Heyuan's attentive listening.
After taking a deep breath, he held his breath, raised the wooden stick with both hands and rang it high, his eyes were fixed on the edge of the door, waiting for the person who came to push the door open to give him a fatal blow!
"Bang bang bang!"

The sudden knock on the door panel made Wang Heyuan startled and almost subconsciously waved the wooden stick to beat him down, but soon he heard the people outside the door calling their names in a low voice, which made Wang Heyuan relax immediately.

"He Yuan/He Yuan? Are you asleep yet?"

Hearing the sound, Wang Heyuan could already tell that the person outside the door was Li Mu. When he asked questions through the door for the third time, Wang Heyuan hurriedly opened the door, and sure enough, he saw Li Mu standing outside the door and was about to continue knocking on the door.

"Brother Li, you are back! I thought it was someone else who came over and scared me to death!"

When he saw Li Mu, Wang Heyuan put down the wooden stick, and at the same time greeted the younger sister inside. After Li Mu entered the room, the person who came in after him made Wang Heyuan's heart skip a beat, and he looked at the person with some astonishment.

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

It can be said that Wang Heyuan is not familiar with Wang Laosan. Both of them are from the same village. In terms of seniority, they are still from his third uncle, but when they chased their brothers and sisters before, they didn't take into account the relationship between uncle and nephew at all, so they suddenly appeared to him. Still wary.

And Wang Laosan smiled awkwardly at Wang Heyuan. Before that, he was indeed a capable man in chasing their brothers and sisters, and he didn't know how to get along when they met again at this time.

It is said that during an avalanche, no snowflake is innocent, and this can be well interpreted here.

Before that, it was Wang Heyuan's younger sister who was going to be sent to enshrine the mountain god, and the villagers who were kept in the dark were still persecuting them tirelessly, and they didn't know their powerlessness until the disaster fell on their own heads.

 emmm...
