Chapter 66 Land father-in-law's grievance

"Mother, don't worry, I'm fine." Looking at the solemn expression on Zhao Lanhua's face, Ji Zhao quickly comforted him, "I think the reason why my luck is so good is that the land father-in-law is secretly protecting me. Bar?"

   "Grandfather of the Land?" Zhao Lanhua frowned suspiciously, "A Tao, the Father of the Land you are referring to is the dilapidated Earth Temple in the back mountain?"

"That's right!" Ji Zhao nodded obediently, "When I had nowhere to go, it was the father-in-law who took me in, and I also promised in front of the father-in-law that when I earn a lot of money in the future, I will The Earth Temple will be renovated."

   "A Tao, wait for the wife to accompany you to worship the father-in-law of the land!"

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

  If A Tao hadn't been protected by her father-in-law, how could she have been lucky all the time?

   Half an hour later, Zhao Lanhua hurried to the Earth Temple with Ji Zhao, carrying a bamboo basket full of incense.

   "Mother, I remember that when I first came to the Earth Temple, it was a mess, full of cobwebs everywhere, and even the statue of the Father Land was crooked. Don't we people in Shanghe Village believe in the Father Land?"

  Ji Zhao really can't figure it out. Generally speaking, the ancients should all believe in gods!

  Why is the father-in-law so unpopular here in Shanghe Village?

   "Hey, it's a long story." Zhao Lanhua put the stick of incense in her hand into the three-legged tripod in front of the shrine, sighed softly, and said eloquently.

  Forty years ago, the population of Shanghe Village was not large, with only ten households in total.

   It’s just that the Shanghe River at that time had a very large river bed, and it would flood every now and then.

  One day, when a wandering Taoist passed by Shanghe Village, he directly pointed out that this place is a place of great danger. Fengshui is extremely bad, which is not good for people and bad for behavior.

   Later, the patriarch spent a lot of money to seek advice from a Taoist priest. Finally, the Taoist priest chose this location and suggested that the patriarch build an earth temple here.

Strange to say, since the earth temple was built here, the river outside the village entrance seldom flooded anymore, but who would have expected that not long after, a group of horse thieves suddenly rushed into the village and snatched away the villagers. their rations, and even killed several strong men.

  Since then, the patriarch who advocated the construction of the Earth Temple rushed into the temple and yelled at the land father. Not long after, he hanged himself by hanging himself at home.

   Later, the earth temple here gradually fell into decline.

  The earth temple that no one cares about will naturally become dilapidated.

   "This?" Ji Zhao didn't expect the reason for the decline of the Earth Temple to be so strange?

  She suddenly felt aggrieved for the land father-in-law.

   "Mother, can I often come to worship the land father-in-law in the future?" Ji Zhao pleaded softly.

   "Of course." Zhao Lanhua smiled and nodded, "I will come with you when my mother is free."

   "Thank you mother, mother, you are so kind!"

  Before leaving, Ji Zhao knelt on the futon again, clasped his hands together, and made a serious promise in his heart.

  Father-in-law, I fully understand your grievances, don't worry, I won't let you be wronged again in the future! From now on, on the first and fifteenth day of each month, I will come to offer you incense and gifts.

  Ji Zhao kowtowed three times devoutly before leaving.

  The door of the Shen family compound is open.

  A long queue lined up from inside the house to outside the door.
