Thousands of years of faith, the joys, sorrows, anger and happiness contained in time, and the torrent of information from outer space are in conflict with each other.

At this moment, the remote courtyard in the west of the village objectively does not exist in the world.

on the way.

Liu Sijia, who was planning to deliver a skirt to the courtyard, stopped with her bag in her arms, wondering why she was holding a Lolita skirt that was definitely not her style...

Small second floor.

Aunt Zhen, who was grinding the first batch of millet into powder and happily preparing to make a surprise millet cake for her children, paused and said, "Hey, where did this millet come from..."

Field hut.

Chen Sirui encouraged the brothers who had all signed contracts and planned to seamlessly transition to the second season: "...Anyway, no matter what happens, the boss will cover it - hey, who is the boss among us?"

……

In the small courtyard, Feng Lan carefully hugged the tiny sleeping Yu Jiao. When he raised his eyes, his dark green pupils lit up slightly, and he stared at Maine opposite him who seemed to have turned into a cat, without any of his usual laziness and indifference.

Or, it is as cold as a knife: "A visitor from afar is a guest, but an evil guest is not welcome."

The Maine Coon tilted its head: "Meow."

It replied politely, "I don't know what you are talking about, I'm just a little kitty."

Feng Lan: “…”

If it weren't for the other party's restrained momentum and the mountain people outside recovering their perception, this sentence would have sounded like a provocation.

He commented: "As expected of the boss of Stupid Cat."

Main system: "You are so rude."

"Tell me clearly what your purpose is in finding her."

Feng Lan didn't respond to what he said, but kept lowering his eyes. However, he frowned when he noticed that Yu Jiao's eyelashes were trembling.

……

Yu Jiao is dreaming.

In the hazy mountain scenery, she felt tiredness in every part of her body. She opened her eyes drowsily, but could only open half of them.

All I could see were withered and yellow grass leaves, and the air was so dry that it felt hot to breathe.

This is...where.

She looked at everything in front of her blankly, feeling that her body, which was completely devoid of strength and did not need her command, was like a dried-up corpse, but she still stubbornly crawled forward bit by bit.

It seemed to know that if it stopped, death would be waiting for it.

die……?

She doesn't want to die!

The scene of the fourth uncle racing, the smile of Aunt Zhen when she brought fresh milk, the scene of the big uncle holding the buffalo and apologizing to her, the second brother, the third brother, and the sixth sister raising their glasses to compete with her for juice... and those vivid furry memories, flashing and emerging continuously, the desire to survive made Yu Jiao sober up all of a sudden:

Wait, I'm dreaming!

She vaguely remembered that she was listening to Feng Lan telling stories.

The girl who existed in the strange "dead body" with a strange perspective fell into deep thought: Could it be that she subconsciously felt that Feng Lan's storytelling was very hypnotic? !

After a moment of distressed reflection, Yu Jiao's attention returned to this... well, lucid dream.

The owner of the body seemed to be very short, and his vision was always blurry and focused on three or two steps in front of him. He would occasionally look up into the distance, but it was still blurry.

When breathing, the chest makes a roaring sound as if it is overwhelmed, like a terminally ill puppy with a dry nose.

Yu Jiao was a little worried about this person.

After carefully examining the surrounding environment, Yu Jiao was shocked again: It seems that there is also this hill to worry about!

What a dying mountain this is! There are withered branches and leaves everywhere, all of them yellow and almost black. The bodies of small animals that died for some unknown reason on the roadside are also dry. Even the ground has cracks of various sizes.

After humans have their own mountains, they cannot bear to see other mountains in such a miserable state!

Yu Jiao's heart tightened. "I don't know if there is a mountain god on this mountain... I can't imagine how depressed Feng Lan would be if he lived on a mountain like this."

How could believers bear to see the mountain god living in such a mountain?

Thinking of this, Yu Jiao was horrified to find that the undulating mountains in front of her looked inexplicably familiar... ?

……

reality.

The sleeping girl suddenly frowned.

Feng Lan, who was testing the bottom line with the main system, showed a slight change in expression. He leaned over and picked her up, not caring about the sudden interruption of the conversation.

The main system carried 778's bionic body and followed the local mountain god.

Watching the mountain god gently place the believer on the open-air bamboo bed in the courtyard, he squatted at Feng Lan's feet, with his big fluffy tail elegantly coiled around his front paws.

“You are so kind to the believers.”

"nonsense."

"But other gods don't maintain such a close relationship with their believers. It turns out..."

The main system cat poked its head out, glanced at the girl who relaxed her frown after adjusting to a sleeping position, and politely expressed its opinion, "You look like a human in love."

"Oh."

Feng Lan didn't even raise his eyelids, and sneered coldly, "So."

He said, "Do you want me to learn from you and become a capitalist?"

"..."

The main system sighed, "Sorry, I thought a joke would make the atmosphere between us more relaxed."

"Please believe that the purpose of our Wanjie Internet is really just to maintain ecological balance. This time I came just to make sure my employees don't break the rules. I know that you are an upright God and you won't hide some news from your close believers... But my young employee is still a child and needs to grow up healthily within the rules."

Feng Lan interrupted: "You employ child labor?"

"..."

The main system ignored it calmly, "And brought you some gifts - do you remember what happened a thousand years ago?"

"nonsense."

Feng Lan frowned. This was the time when He was born a thousand years ago. How could He not remember what happened?

The main system Maomao shook his head, "Please go and see for yourself."

……

Yu Jiao was shocked!

She was very familiar with the mountain in front of her. After all, she had been here no less than three times, either with the Forestry Bureau's survey team or with Feng Lan.

Walk another four or five hundred meters forward and you will reach the Ghost Car Ancient Tree!

She wouldn’t see the withered ancient ghost car tree, would she?

Yu Jiao thought of what Feng Lan once said, that the ancient Ghost Cart Tree was the reincarnation boundary for the wicked to atone for their sins. If the ancient Ghost Cart Tree withered, wouldn’t the souls imprisoned in the Ghost Cart Tree run around?

Even though she was still dreaming, Yu Jiao couldn't help feeling anxious.

But no matter how anxious she was, she could only wait as if she was watching a first-person holographic documentary, waiting for her body to crawl forward with every step and every gasp. As she crawled, Yu Jiao even felt a little dazed. This feeling of dying with every step and having every breath feel like a knife cutting her throat was damn familiar.

Yu Jiao suddenly had an incredible intuition.

This is 'me'.

In this trance, the 'dead corpse' finally stopped and 'I' reached my destination.

It was a crude altar, like one that children played at home.

I stretched out a pair of withered little hands. Although I looked disheveled, I was holding a black pottery bowl in my hands. The water in the bowl was crystal clear.

Placing the bowl on the bark of the altar, I spoke incoherently, "...Lord Dragon God, I am the only one left in the mountain. My father and mother buried everyone in the village, and I buried them all. My sister said that the mountain became like this because there is no mountain god... Without the mountain god, stones will rain from the sky, trees will wither, and pheasants and rabbits will die of disease and cannot be eaten..."

"Lord Dragon God... I don't have the strength to bury my sister. If you become a mountain god, can you bury me and my sister together?"

"..."

The child's voice was hoarse and dry, but he performed a great dance, which was probably a sacrificial dance with great rhythmic beauty, very exquisitely.

Unfortunately, the child's dry body made the dance look a little funny.

After the dance, the child finally dared to raise her head, with innocent expectations in her equally dry eyes. As one of the only two living creatures among the dozen or so nearby mountains, she hoped that a dragon would become the mountain god and save the mountain.

After a long while, the creature on the altar raised its little head and answered slowly in the same childish voice: "But I am not a dragon..."

It has two claws but no horns, it is a dragon.
