Chapter 268 House Arrest
At this time, the village chief had been helped to stand up.

He felt severe pain all over his body, his face was pale, and he felt hatred and fear in his heart.

Hearing what Yang Rongrong said, he couldn't help but ask, "Why can't you live? Weren't you living well here last night?"

Yang Rongrong completely ignored the village chief and just looked at the witch, waiting for her answer.

When the witch and the villagers left yesterday, they never thought that Yang Rongrong could survive, so they didn't leave her any food or water. But now she looks lively and talkative, and she doesn't look hungry or cold at all.

The witch took a quick glance and quickly noticed the orange peels on the ground and the extinguished fire.

She looked at the table again and found that most of the offerings on it were gone. Her eyelids couldn't help but twitch.

"You stole the offerings?"

Yang Rongrong became unhappy when she heard this.

"What are you talking about? How can I be as wicked as you? I never do anything sneaky. Those things are what you offer to the mountain god. The mountain god is kind-hearted and took the initiative to share the food with me. I eat it openly! If you are not satisfied, go and complain to the mountain god!"

The witch looked at the statue of the mountain god and bowed respectfully with her hands clasped together.

Under normal circumstances, she would definitely punish Yang Rongrong for stealing offerings, but now that Yang Rongrong had the title of God's messenger, she naturally could not punish Yang Rongrong for such a small matter.

So the witch skipped the topic and said directly: "I will order people to add some furniture to the mountain temple. From now on, someone will go up the mountain every day to bring you food and water. If you need anything, you can tell me and I will do my best to satisfy you. You just need to live here peacefully and serve the mountain god well."

Yang Rongrong was very dissatisfied: "Are you going to put me under house arrest?"

The witch smiled at her, her expression gentle: "The world outside is in chaos, there are monsters everywhere that eat people, a little girl like you who runs out alone may become a monster's meal. I let you stay here to ensure your safety."

Seeing her attitude, Yang Rongrong knew that it was useless to say more, so she was too lazy to waste words with her and started to make requests instead.

"I want a large mahogany carved bed, silk quilts and pillows, tables, chairs, wardrobes, screens, toilets, and dressing tables. Also, find me some books to pass the time when I'm bored. I don't need a lot of clothes, ten sets will be enough. Each set must have a different pattern and be made according to my size. If it doesn't look good, have it redone for me. The most important thing is food. In addition to the three meals a day, snacks such as fruits and desserts are also necessary. I'll write a list of my favorite dishes for you, and you can have someone make it accordingly."

After hearing her say so much in one breath, the fortune-teller could no longer maintain the smile on her face.

The village chief wanted to scold her for being greedy, but the pain in his body made him dare not speak rashly. He could only grit his teeth and glare at Yang Rongrong fiercely.

The witch had seen a lot of things, so she quickly adjusted her mindset and asked, "Is that all?"

"Well, that's all for now. I'll tell you later when I think of something else." Yang Rongrong smiled brightly, "I'm actually a very easy person to feed, right?"

The witch nodded and said, "That's it. We'll go back first. I'll send you what you want later."

After saying that, she turned and left.

The village chief was supported by two people and followed her. When they left the mountain temple, the witch asked a villager to stay and warned him, "You must keep a close eye on Su Wen. Don't let her find you, and don't let her run around. I will send someone to replace you at noon."

The man replied honestly, "Okay."

After walking for a while, the village chief could no longer hold back and started complaining to the witch.

"That girl wants so many things at once, where can we get them for her?" The witch said calmly, "There are so many people in the village, if we all pool our resources together, we can always get the money."

"Everything else is fine, but the big carved mahogany bed can't be made in a short time."

The witch glanced at him and said, "Don't you have one at home? If it doesn't work, give her your bed."

The village chief was naturally very reluctant and curled his lips and said, "She is a star born out of nowhere, does she deserve it?"

"She was naturally unworthy before, but now she has become the messenger of the Mountain God. We have to give her whatever she wants. If you are not convinced, you can also ask the Mountain God for help. As long as you can get the Mountain God to accept you, we can also worship you like we worship Su Wen. How about it?"

The village chief's face turned pale and blue after what she said.

If he could gain the favor of the mountain god, why would he complain here?
His face was livid as he asked, "Do you really believe that girl? Aren't you afraid that she is lying to us?"

The witch had already made plans for this, she said slowly and calmly.

"Since she insists that she is a messenger of God, let's wait and see. As long as no more disasters happen in our village in the coming days, it means that what she said is true, and our offering to her is worth it. But if the disasters in the village continue, it proves that she is lying. At that time, we don't have to be polite to her anymore. You can do whatever you want with her."

Seeing that she was thoughtful, the village chief stopped complaining and sneered, "I hope she is not lying to us, otherwise... hehe! I will make her wish she was dead!"

The witch glanced at him and said, "Are you okay with your injuries? Do you want me to take a look?"

The witch is not only responsible for the village's sacrifices on weekdays, but also helps the villagers to see doctors and prescribe medicine in her spare time. Because of this, the villagers respect her very much, and even the village chief is courteous to her.

The village chief felt severe pain all over his body. He nodded immediately after hearing this: "Yes, yes!"

When he returned home, the village chief took off his shirt, revealing large bruises on his body.

Not only the chest, but also the back of the arms were covered with bruises.

Then he rolled up his trouser legs, and both of his legs were bruised, his knees were bleeding, and his bones were injured.

Not only were his family members shocked, but even the experienced fortune teller couldn't help but gasp.

The injury was much more serious than she had expected.

She couldn't help but secretly feel lucky that she didn't rashly attack that girl Su Wen.

The witch had already seen that Su Wen was now very difficult to deal with. In order to prevent her from causing any more trouble, the witch had someone send the things she wanted up the mountain at noon.

Because the things she wanted were so many, it took more than a dozen villagers to carry them.

Before coming, the villagers were told by the witch that everything should be done according to Su Wen's instructions.

So they followed Su Wen's instructions and put the furniture in place one by one.

Yang Rongrong sat in a chair, crossed her legs, eating and watching them work, looking very comfortable.

She was in a good mood and picked up a braised chicken leg and gave it to Hengye who was standing next to her.
