Chapter 486 Damn, a bunch of scabs!
"What else can it be? Of course they are not convinced. Mountain God Zhang takes turns to sit in the various mountain temples in Shiziling. The first one to come to the mountain temple in our village is to sit in charge!"
Village Chief Zhou snorted, ignoring the angry looks, and said angrily:
"Village Chief Zhang, you've come at the right time. Please give us your opinion. Since Mountain God Zhang left your village's mountain temple, shouldn't he come to our village's mountain temple to take charge?"
When he was just born, the mountain god of Lion Ridge had already passed away. However, there were still many old people who had experienced the mountain god of Lion Ridge and had heard the sighs of these old people many times.
When the Lion Ridge Mountain God was still around, their village lived a good life. Especially when the Lion Ridge Mountain God was sitting in the mountain temple in their village, their village could be said to be extremely rich during that time.
Not to mention good weather, you can just sow seeds in the ground and wait for a few months to have a rich harvest.
The nearby Lion Ridge is richer in natural treasures and wild animals than other places.
"What do you mean by taking turns?"
Zhang Yongde's face was full of confusion.
Village Chief Zhou said proudly: "Village Chief Zhang, you may not know this yet, but the Mountain Goddess just said that starting from your Zhangjia Village, Mountain God Zhang will take turns to sit in the Mountain God Temple in each of our villages!"
"how……"
Zhang Yongde subconsciously turned his head and was about to ask Li Ping what was going on, but the words were swallowed back as soon as they reached his lips.
It’s not that he is concerned about Li Ping’s current identity - the wife of the mountain god. She is currently qualified to represent Zhang Deben, and her every word can be regarded as Zhang Deben’s words.
He did not question Li Ping, but he remembered that an old man once told him that when the mountain god of Lion Ridge was still alive, he would take turns sitting in the mountain god temples in various villages near Lion Ridge, and had come to their Zhangjia Village Mountain God Temple many times.
every time.
It was the turn of the Lion Ridge Mountain God to take charge of Zhangjia Village, and it was a year of bumper harvest.
This is already an old tradition. Zhang Deben is now the mountain god of Lion Ridge. Even if he is partial to Zhangjia Village, he has to do this kind of thing.
"Shouldn't this kind of thing be decided by Deben himself?"
Zhang Yongde asked puzzledly: "What's the point of you arguing here?"
It’s not that I’m the mountain god of Lion Ridge, so I don’t need to care about the opinions of the people living near Lion Ridge - although I don’t have to care, but if I want to do a good job, I still have to care about the opinions of the people living near Lion Ridge.
But for matters like this, we cannot care about the opinions of the people living near Lion Ridge.
Everyone knows that when the mountain god comes to the mountain god temple in their village, the whole village will live a good life.
These prominent people represent the interests of their respective villages, and if they dare do anything that betrays the interests of their own villages.
Unless you have great power in the village, you will be abandoned by all the villagers.
They would fight for the order of Deben to take charge of the mountain temple in their village. Of course, the sooner you enjoy the benefits, the happier you will be.
Village Chief Zhou said proudly: "Village Chief Zhang, you don't know this, right? The mountain god's wife said that we should solve this kind of thing ourselves. It can be seen that Mountain God Zhang attaches great importance to the opinions of people like us. I believe that a person who attaches importance to the opinions of the people will definitely be a good mountain god!"
'Value opinions?'
Zhang Yongde's expression suddenly became extremely strange. It was not that it was wrong to value opinions, nor was it that Zhang Deben was not the kind of person who valued other people's opinions. It was that opinions could not be valued in this kind of matter. When he saw Li Ping out of the corner of his eye, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he flattered:
"You are right. Deben, the new mountain god of Lion Ridge, cares a lot about our opinions. He has entrusted this important matter to you to decide, which shows how much he values you.
But seeing as you are like this, I will ask you to sort out the order in which Deben went to the mountain temples in your respective villages.
Not to mention you guys cursing here, even if a fight breaks out, even if several lives are lost, it will be hard to tell who comes first.
Otherwise, I'll give you an idea!"
"Okay, Village Chief Zhang, if you have any opinions, just tell me!"
Village Chief Zhou spoke subconsciously, and when he saw other people around him wanting to say something, he spoke first: "But I have to make it clear to you in advance, if the opinions you give are crooked ideas, I will not agree with them!"
"Don't worry, the advice I give will never be a crooked idea!"
Zhang Yongde sneered secretly. He knew clearly that no matter how perfect his opinion was, there would be people who objected, and not just one. Who wouldn't want to be ranked first? Who would want to be ranked last? He said seriously:
"Since you want Deben to take charge of the mountain temple in your village so much, then you have to see what conditions you can offer. Whoever offers the best conditions will naturally be the first to let Deben take charge of the mountain temple in your village!"
"Ah, do you want us to set conditions?"
Village Chief Zhou exclaimed and glared at Zhang Yongde angrily. He suspected that Zhang Yongde was deliberately making things difficult for them, and said awkwardly:
"Village Chief Zhang, you know the situation in our village. We are so poor that we barely have pants to wear. How can we have extra money?"
"Village Chief Zhang, you are right. If we want Mountain God Zhang to be the first to take charge of our village temple, we must set conditions and let Mountain God Zhang see our sincerity!"
Before Zhang Yongde could speak, a village chief from another village stood up, ignoring the angry looks around him, and said righteously:
"As long as Zhang Shanshen is willing to come to our village to take charge, no matter how much money it costs, I will be willing!"
"Village Chief Li, everyone knows that your Lijia Village is so poor that they can't even afford to marry a wife. You still let Zhang Shanshen set the price. Can you afford it? That's what you said?"
Village Chief Zhou glared at him with hatred. He cursed the village chief who stood up in his heart as a worthless person who couldn't even see through Zhang Yongde's plan. Before he finished speaking, he saw several other village chiefs standing up and saying something similar to what Village Chief Li said. Although he hated him in his heart, he had no choice but to speak:
"Madam Mountain God, don't listen to their nonsense. They are so poor that they can barely make ends meet. How can they have extra money? Why don't you invite Zhang Shanshen to the mountain temple in their village or to our village? We are richer than them. Madam Mountain God, as long as you need it, no matter how much money it is, our village can give it to you!"
Li Ping secretly winked at Zhang Yongde.
"What are you two saying here? We are all near Lion Ridge, and there are no outsiders here - ahem, there are not many outsiders. What is the situation in your village? Who doesn't know who?"
Zhang Yongde stood up and made a few sarcastic remarks. He had not forgotten the unfriendly looks these guys had given him not long ago, so he took the opportunity to retaliate. Then he continued,
"Besides, what do you think of Deben? He is the mountain god of Shiziling. He is not a greedy person who sees money - ahem, he is not a profiteer who sees money. Don't say you don't have money. Even if you have money, he won't look down on you. The conditions I mentioned are to help Deben's mountain temple develop in your respective villages. What conditions can you offer!"
