Chapter 5 A small steamed bun feeds the whole village
Xu Boan found that this bonsai is quite wonderful.
Even if you don’t take it out, you can still carefully feel the changes in the plants and trees inside.
It just seems like there is no way to communicate directly with the people inside.
In the bonsai at this moment, more than thirty little people in ragged clothes gathered in the open space at the foot of the mountain.
There are also a few livestock. One cow, two pigs, and a dozen chickens.
Most of them are elderly and emaciated people.
The pin magic weapon given by Xu Boan can only be used as a crutch in the hands of these people.
Li Qingshi shouted several times, but received no response from Xu Boan, and the crowd suddenly became noisy.
"Little Shitou? Are you reliable or not? I'm exhausted."
As soon as such remarks came out, similar complaints immediately came out.
"Yes, we ran here after all the hard work, and we were so hungry that our chests were pressed against our backs. Where is Grandpa Mountain God?"
"That's right, don't leave on this journey. He said he had something to eat, but he didn’t even take a sip of water, so he had to pick up two wild fruits.”
A kind-hearted aunt said calmly: “Okay, okay, Shitou is our child.” Looking at the grown-ups, can he still harm us?"
"Yes, what Shuanzhu said makes sense. Don't worry, Shitou. Let's pack up and leave. Rest your feet before we talk.”
The villager who complained earlier smiled awkwardly: “Oh, I don’t have any other meaning. If we didn’t believe in Xiaoshi, we wouldn’t have come so far to follow. . "
"Hey, by the way, is it because of your bad attitude, Xiao Shitou? After all, he is a god, and it is not appropriate for you to yell like this." Some villagers asked.
"It makes sense." Li Qingshi suddenly realized.
“Before, I kowtowed step by step into the mountain temple and got the sweet water as a gift from the mountain god. It’s all my fault. The mountain god was too good and kind to me before. He was a little carried away and even the most basic It’s my fault that I have neglected my courtesy and respect.”
The more Li Qingshi talked about it, the more he felt it was true.
Immediately he bent his knees, knelt on the ground and bowed his head.
"My lord, Grandpa Mountain God, I, Li Qingshi, have been rude. You, sir, have a lot of money. Please don't follow me. I kowtow to you."
As he spoke, "Bang. "Bang bang" is the sound of three bangs, hitting the ground and causing dust to fly.
When other villagers saw this, they all knelt on the ground and muttered something.
"Please be kind to Grandpa Mountain God and give us a way to live."
......
In fact, the villagers, including Li Qingshi, are really worried. .
At this moment, Xu Boyan has just entered the hotel room.
For safety and confidentiality reasons, Xu Boan opened an hourly room in the hotel in Wanda Plaza and checked again that no cameras or other things were placed in the room.
Only with a sudden thought, he released the bonsai.
After all, if this matter were to leak out, it would be a bit too shocking.
Seeing the villagers kneeling in the bonsai, Xu Boan comforted them softly.
"Okay, let's all get up."
In an instant, these little people in the bonsai were all stunned on the spot, motionless.
Then big eyes and small eyes, you look at me, I look at you.
An incredible expression on his face.
“It’s really Grandpa Mountain God who has appeared.” A villain shouted in surprise, then kowtowed and shouted again.
"Grandpa Mountain God, please accept my obeisance to me."
Under the leadership of this man, the villagers once again started the kowtow activity of competing with each other. He murmured similar words of blessing.
Looking at these villains vying to kowtow, Xu Boan smiled bitterly.
He knew that there was nothing he could do to change their practices and concepts at once.
I have no choice but to ignore them for now and let’s get past this article.
"Li Qingshi, please stop first. I have something to ask you."
Li Qingshi then stopped kowtowing, and his forehead was now bright red. Xu Boan couldn't bear to see it.
"Please tell me, Grandpa Mountain God."
Xu Boyan said: "Did you encounter any danger on the way here?"
"When we came here It went quite smoothly. Even I find it unbelievable. It must be Grandpa Mountain God who is blessing us." Li Qingshi said happily and bowed again. Xu Boan frowned and said: "Oh? If that's the case, then why do those big... magic weapons I gave you seem to be missing by half."
Li Qingshi hurriedly explained: "Grandpa Mountain God has a keen eye. Ruju, it’s like this. There are more than 50 people in our village, and more than 20 of them are old, weak, sick and disabled. They really can’t bear the bumps and hardships of this journey. My grandfather greeted everyone in the village and waited. When our side is stable, we will go pick them up."
Hearing this, Xu Boan suddenly realized, and then his heart fell to the ground.
Earlier, he saw that the little people in the bonsai were in ragged clothes, and half of the pins he sent out were missing. He thought that these people encountered great danger on the way here.
If an innocent person really lost his life because of Xu Bo'an's momentary thoughts, Xu Bo'an would definitely feel guilty.
The knot in his heart was lifted, and Xu Boan was very happy.
Thinking that the villagers were tired and thirsty all the way, I immediately glanced at the room, took a box of snacks prepared by the hotel for guests, opened a pack of Wangzi steamed buns, and took one Come out and gently put it into the bonsai.
Suddenly, in the sight of the villagers, a huge black shadow came from the sky.
Before the villagers could see clearly what it was, a sleek object about half a person's height landed in the open space beside it.
At the same time, a sweet and fragrant smell spread into the villagers' noses.
Before the villagers could ask their doubts, Xu Boan explained: "Everyone is hungry, let's eat some snacks to fill our stomachs first."
As soon as I heard about this thing It was edible, and the villagers’ eyes suddenly opened wide.
At that moment, a villager who was so hungry that he was fainting rushed towards the Wangzi steamed bun and took a hard bite.
Wow, sweet and delicious, crispy and soft, it melts in your mouth.
Is this something only gods can make?
Seeing someone taking the lead, the other villagers rushed over one after another, unwilling to lag behind.
You take a bite, I break off a piece, and enjoy it happily.
“Thank you, Grandpa Mountain God, it’s so delicious.”
“Yes, yes, the old man has lived for sixty years and has never eaten anything so delicious.”
"It melts as soon as you eat it. It looks hard, tastes crunchy, and then quickly becomes a bit like porridge. When I look back, my eighty-year-old father comes over, and I don’t need to use my teeth. I can eat it too.”
“Yes, and this stuff is very fragrant. I can eat it without any vegetables.” "
A villager ate too quickly and put too much into his mouth. His saliva could not be diluted in time to soften the steamed buns, so he choked and vomited.
In the eyes of the villagers watching, some couldn't help but complain.
"You guys are so wasteful. You can't eat in small bites. With so much food, are you afraid that you won't have enough?"
Xu Bo'an slapped his head, but he didn't think carefully. .
Immediately said: "Don't panic, don't panic, this kind of food is enough. Come on, here comes the water."
While speaking, Xu Bo'an turned away the Mingren soda water provided in the room. I poured a small cap from a bottle and found a low-lying spot next to the villagers and put it in.
Because if the bottle cap is placed flat on the ground, it can reach the shoulders and necks of little people, which is really inconvenient to drink.
Xu Boan placed it in this way so that the edge of the bottle cap reached the waist of the little people, allowing most of the villagers to see the water in the bottle cap at a glance.
Suddenly, the villagers saw another huge thing falling from the sky, and then, a clear spring appeared in everyone's sight.
Water!
Water is the source of all things.
Especially for people who have just eaten Wangzai steamed buns and have a serious lack of saliva in their mouths, their desire for water is even greater.
Suddenly, a group of villains rushed over to drink water.
For those who are particular about it, they take out a bowl and scoop out the water to drink. For those who are not particular about it, they just drink with their hands.
They were all villagers from the same village who had endured hardships. No one disliked the water, and they all drank it happily.
“Hey, this water is really sweet. Xiao Shitou really didn’t lie to us.”
“Not only that, I also took a sip of the water Xiao Shitou brought back before. It's sweeter than that water."
"It's true that the food and water of the gods are so sweet. Even the emperor doesn't have such good food."
Xu Bo'an heard this. It's a bit embarrassing. No matter how backward a world is, the emperor's happiness is beyond his imagination.
Xu Bo'an is watching these little people live a normal life with great interest, as if he is watching a 3D documentary about the native people.
Suddenly, a burst of rushing footsteps came.
Then, Xu Boan saw the villagers looking in horror at a place he couldn't see. They all huddled together.
