Chapter 496 The Dutiful Son
Zhang Deben heard the discussions around him. Most of them were from the same village as Wang Jin. They seemed to be introducing Wang Jin's situation to the people around them, but they were actually talking to him. They looked at Wang Jin with admiration and said:
"Logically speaking, after this divine rain baptism ends, it will take some time to recover before the next divine rain can fall!"
He lived in Zhangjia Village for many years. Before he was bedridden, he often walked around and had seen the beauty of the world, as well as the evil.
Things like supporting parents have their pros and cons, but the good ones are more likely to be done in large quantities than in small ones. Apart from the fact that children have no conscience, the most common problem is that poor couples are always sad.
Anyone who can support his parents lying in hospital bed for about three to five years can be considered a filial son. In addition to taking care of their food and drink, he also has to take care of their defecation and urination.
There are very few people like Wang Jin who have been able to take care of his mother for more than ten years and are still full of hope, expecting the baptism of divine rain to cure his mother's illness. It cannot be said that there are no such people, but they are extremely rare.
"Can there be another game?"
Wang Jin's eyes suddenly lit up, and he looked at Zhang Deben with anticipation. He suppressed his excitement and said in a trembling voice:
"Mountain God, I don't know when the next divine rain will fall."
"One year later……"
Before Zhang Deben finished speaking, he heard Wang Jin's exclamation. His face was full of disappointment. He asked, "One year later?"
"Why, is there any problem after a year?"
Zhang Deben asked.
"Mountain God, to be honest with you, I have a mother who has been lying in bed and unable to move for more than ten years. I came here this time to pray in front of your statue, Mountain God, for my mother's illness to be cured.
I never thought, Mountain God, that during your deification ceremony, a divine rain would fall. Anyone who receives the baptism of the divine rain will be free from disease and disaster, and live a long life of a hundred years!"
Before he could finish his words, Wang Jin suddenly slapped himself in the face with a loud 'slap!'. A red and swollen slap mark immediately appeared on his face. Tears sparkled in his eyes, and he regretted it:
"If I had known earlier, I should have brought my mother here!"
Zhang Deben comforted him, "It's okay, there will be another divine rain baptism in a year!"
“Mountain God, you don’t know that not long ago, Doctor Cai came to our village and gave my mother a free medical consultation. He told me personally that even though I took good care of my mother, she had finally reached her limit.
She, she, she can’t hold on for long. At most, she can only live for two or three months, and she can’t live beyond a year!”
Wang Jin fell to his knees in front of Zhang Deben with a thump, begging desperately:
"Mountain God, I know, I know, I am a lowly person, I can't offer anything to you, the mountain god, but can I ask you to have mercy, can you, can you save my mother?"
"This, this, this..."
For a moment, Zhang Deben was in a dilemma.
Village Chief Zhou whispered to Zhang Yongde beside him, "Village Chief Zhang, this is the best time for your mountain god to show his abilities, why don't you go up and give him some advice?"
"advise?"
Zhang Yongde smiled and said seriously, "Ren De has his own feelings about this matter. How can I interfere in his affairs?"
He didn't know what Zhang Deben was thinking, but he knew what kind of person Zhang Deben was. Zhang Deben admired filial sons like Wang Jin.
But he was worried that Zhang Deben had just become the mountain god of Lion Ridge and did not have many magical powers. Even if he wanted to save Wang Jin's mother, he might not be able to do so.
He doesn't want to do something bad with good intentions!
As for why Village Chief Zhou asked him to come out and persuade them, how could he not know what was on his mind? First, he sympathized with Wang Jin and admired a filial son like Wang Jin. For elderly people like them, who would not like a filial son like Wang Jin? Second, he wanted to use Wang Jin's case to get a divine rain baptism for himself and the people of the entire village.
He also sympathized with and liked Wang Jin, a filial son, but he would not offend Zhang Deben or even embarrass Zhang Deben because of Wang Jin's affairs.
Moreover, their entire village had just been baptized by the divine rain. There wouldn't be many benefits from accepting it again, so why would they possibly come out and be the first to stand out?
"Village Chief Zhang..."
Village chief Zhou wanted to say something, but seeing that Zhang Yongde was indifferent, he glanced at the village chiefs of other villages in Shizilin.
Among them was the village chief of Wang Jin’s village. He winked at them and was about to ask them to step forward and persuade Zhang Yongde together, letting Zhang Yongde be the first to speak out.
Out of the corner of his eye he suddenly saw Lady Mountain Goddess Li Ping standing out from the crowd and walking towards where Zhang Deben and Wang Jin were.
Seeing this scene, Village Chief Zhou suddenly had an idea in his mind. He suppressed his excitement and whispered:
"Village Chief Zhang, the Lady of the Mountain God is walking over here at this time. Could it be that she wants to speak for Wang Jin and persuade the Mountain God Zhang?"
"How could I possibly know that?"
Zhang Yongde snorted, but when he looked at Village Chief Zhou and the prominent people from other villages around him, his eyes were full of envy.
I envy these bastards. Their entire village can be baptized by the divine rain in a short period of time without having to wait for a year.
How could he not know who Zhang Deben and Li Ping were? When Li Ping walked towards Zhang Deben at this time, it was most likely that she was speaking for Wang Jin.
"Little brother, stand up!"
Li Ping came to Wang Jin, stretched out her hand and pulled Wang Jin up, but Wang Jin did not struggle.
He recognized Li Ping's identity. He knelt in front of Zhang Deben to beg for mercy, but he was not using kneeling to force Zhang Deben. If Zhang Deben didn't agree to him, he would kneel down and not get up. He was not that kind of scoundrel.
However, Wang Jin still took advantage of Li Ping helping him to stand up and pleaded in a trembling voice:
"Madam Mountain God, please help me. Please ask the Mountain God to save my mother. My mother has never had a good day since she gave birth to me. As long as my mother can be saved, I am willing to do anything. Even if it costs me my life, I have no problem with that!"
"Little brother, look at what you are saying. Our Deben is the mountain god of Lion Ridge, not an evil god. How could he want your life?"
Li Ping looked at Wang Jin with admiration. She also liked filial sons and said, "
I can say a few words for you, but don't have too much confidence in whether our family Deben can agree. After all, this divine rain can't be made casually, and there are many strict conditions!"
"I understand, I understand!"
Wang Jin nodded his head frantically and said excitedly: "Madam Mountain God, I will be satisfied if you can say a word for me!"
Divine rain.
Anyone who is baptized by the divine rain will be free from illness and disaster and live a long life. If this divine rain did not have strict conditions and restrictions, people would have been in chaos long ago.
He still knows this truth.
