66 Earth God’s Grievance

“Mother, don’t worry. I’m fine.” Seeing the serious expression on Zhao Lanhua’s face, Ji Zhao hurriedly comforted her. “I think the reason why my luck is so good is probably because the Earth God is secretly protecting me, right?”

“Earth God?” Zhao Lanhua frowned in confusion. “Ah Tao, the Earth God you’re referring to is the dilapidated Earth Temple at the back of the mountain?”

“That’s right!” Ji Zhao nodded obediently. “Previously, when I had nowhere to go, it was the Earth God who took me in. Moreover, I promised the Earth God that when I earned a lot of money in the future, I would renovate the Earth Temple.”

“Ah Tao, I’ll accompany you to pay respects to the Earth God later!”

The more Zhao Lanhua thought about it, the more she felt that what Ji Zhao said made sense.

If Ah Tao hadn’t received the protection of the Earth God, how could she have been so lucky?

An hour later, Zhao Lanhua carried a bamboo basket filled with incense and rushed to the Earth Temple with Ji Zhao.

“Mother, I remember that when I first came to the Earth Temple, this place was in a mess. There were spider webs everywhere. Even the statue of the Earth God was swaying. Don’t the people of Shanghe Village believe in the Earth God?”

Ji Zhao really could not understand. Generally speaking, ancient people should believe in gods!

Why was the Earth God so unpopular in Shanghe Village?

“Sigh, it’s a long story.” Zhao Lanhua inserted the incense stick into the three-legged cauldron in front of the shrine and sighed.

Forty years ago, Shanghe Village did not have a large population. There were only ten families in total.

However, at that time, the riverbed was especially wide and would flood every few days.

One day, when a traveling Daoist priest passed by Shanhe Village, he directly pointed out that this place was a very dangerous place. The feng shui here was extremely bad and not beneficial to people.

After that, the clan leader spent a lot of money to seek guidance from the Daoist priest. In the end, the Daoist priest chose this position and suggested that the clan leader build a local temple here.

Speaking of which, it was strange. Ever since the Earth Temple was built here, the river outside the village entrance rarely overflowed. However, who would have thought that not long after, a group of bandits suddenly rushed into the village and snatched the villagers’ food. They even killed a few burly men.

Since then, the clan leader who advocated the construction of the Earth Temple rushed into the temple and cursed at the Earth God. Not long after, he actually hung himself at home.

Later on, the Earth Temple here gradually declined.

The temple that no one cared about would naturally become dilapidated.

“This?” Ji Zhao did not expect the reason for the decline of the Earth Temple to be so strange.

She suddenly felt aggrieved for the Earth God.

“Mother, can I come and worship the Earth God more often in the future?” Ji Zhao pleaded softly.

“Of course.” Zhao Lanhua smiled and nodded. “When I’m free in the future, I’ll come with you.”

“Thank you, Mother. You’re the best!”

Before leaving, Ji Zhao knelt on the futon again. She pressed her palms together and made a serious promise in her heart.

“Earth God, I understand your grievances. Don’t worry, I won’t let you suffer again in the future! In the future, I’ll come to offer incense and send tributes to you on the first and fifteenth of every month.”

Ji Zhao sincerely kowtowed three times before leaving.

In the Shen family’s courtyard, the door was wide open.

A long line lined up from inside the house to the door.
