The village chief is very proud of the tree god's culture. Seeing how serious Cheng Miao is now, he not only has a better impression of Cheng Miao, but also has a good impression of him.
"The Tree Goddess is the most merciful god. Our village is not close to the sea and does not have much land. However, the mountains are rich in products and we all live comfortably. This all depends on the Tree Goddess."
Yes, this god is a female.
Then why is there a saying about the fairy wife?
Originally, Cheng Miao thought this would be a copy for choosing a wife for the so-called immortal, but now it seems that it may not be that simple.
"Village chief, are there any legends in the village?" Cheng Miao carefully wrote down what the village chief said before in his notebook.
Qiudong sat next to Cheng Miao and watched Cheng Miao take notes. Seeing her serious eyes shining, he lowered his eyes and thought expressionlessly.
Quite cute.
"Legend, our most famous legend about the tree god is that the tree god empress will choose the destined person to marry."
Cheng Miao's heart skipped a beat, and the other players also sat up straight and listened.
Can you answer questions so quickly?
"Then how to choose?"
"This is the choice of the great Tree Goddess. We mortals don't know about it." The village chief looked at Cheng Miao's curious look and shook his head apologetically.
"Then, what will happen after becoming husband and wife?" Cheng Miao asked the most important point.
"Hey," the village chief sighed, and the smile on his face disappeared.
"They say they are getting married, but in fact it's just that the Tree Goddess saw the people in the village who were dying and took them away peacefully."
meaning is……
"Are all those who married the tree god dead?" Fang Jing had been listening to the conversation between Cheng Miao and the village chief, and because she had been looking at Qiu Dong, she didn't miss Qiu Dong's small movements of looking at Cheng Miao.
The village chief had a good temper and was not angry because of Fang Jing's interruption.
"It's okay for you to understand this way, but many people selected by the Tree Goddess will discover the fact that they are sick when they see the village doctor."
"They were all from the same village, and it was unbearable to see them tortured by illnesses. Until they were selected by the Tree Goddess, their illnesses disappeared, and they died with a smile after a few days."
The village chief took a sip of tea and said, "So marriage between the Tree Goddess and the Queen is an idea in our village. You also know that many villagers are uneducated and have low levels of education, so they will give this kind of thing a nice name."
The village chief looked like a man who had received some education. Cheng Miao cautiously asked, "What do you think it should be?"
The village chief shook his head and smiled, "The little old man has only gone to school for a few days. I think it is possible that the tree god couldn't stand the suffering of the villagers, so he let them leave without pain. But if it is a marriage, it would be a little bit... pass."
The village chief put down the enamel cup in his hand, "However, the villagers liked this idea very much, so they continued it."
"Have you seen the Tree Goddess?" Now that she had roughly figured out the background of the copy, Fang Jing was unwilling to let Cheng Miao speak alone anymore. She couldn't wait to get involved in the topic, and at the same time glanced at Qiu Dong from the corner of her eye to see if she was paying attention. Own.
It's a pity that Qiu Dong didn't even look at her.
While Fang Jing was making her own calculations, she didn't notice that the village chief moved his brows in displeasure, and his tone became colder, "I'm still in good health, but I'm not lucky enough to see the tree god."
Only then did Fang Jing realize that her question just now was impolite.
Her first reaction was to apologize, but with such a stunning person like Qiudong sitting next to her, she couldn't lower her head.
"Don't mind, village chief. Our classmates are just too curious about the Tree Goddess. We want to see if anyone has seen her in person and can give us some detailed description."
Cheng Miao calmly helped Fang Jing get out of the situation. It wasn't that she was a virgin, but they had the same identity. If she offended the village chief at the beginning, it might cause hidden dangers for the subsequent exploration of the dungeon.
Hearing Cheng Miao explain that the village chief felt relieved while stroking his beard. It was not a matter of how old he was. It was just that as he got older, he would inevitably be a little shy about some unlucky words.
Cheng Miao's explanation made sense, and he could understand it.
After thinking about it carefully, he said, "There is a leper in the far east of the village. He lives alone. He said that he has seen the Tree Goddess. But everyone who has seen the Tree Goddess has died, and he is still alive and well, so no one in the village believes it. his words."
"If you are interested, you can ask, but that leper often wanders around, so you may not be able to meet him."
Cheng Miao wrote down the key information. This copy gave a lot of information when she first came up. She had to go back and digest it slowly.
After talking for a while, the village chief took them to their residence, which was a small courtyard on the mountainside with five rooms and a kitchen.
There are some vegetables growing in the yard and a well.
There are two round tables placed against the earth wall, and a few benches are placed randomly.
"This is the condition. Maybe you have to give in." The village chief took everyone around the yard.
"This was a house that used to belong to a family. Later, when a student came out of the family, they took all the elderly people to the town, and the house became vacant."
"There are vegetables in the yard and jars of rice in the kitchen, which are enough for you to eat for more than ten days. You can drink the water from the well directly, and the villagers will arrange for the meat to be delivered to you every day."
The village chief patted his gown and said, "The village has to cook its own meals, light the stoves, and chop the wood. If you have any questions, you can come to me."
Cheng Miao looked around the yard. Although he hadn't entered the room yet, he knew that the conditions were really simple.
However, she had heard from her classmates that sometimes when they went on field trips, the environment was much worse than this.
Not to mention the distance, the environment in the lantern dungeon is not good either. There are people who provide food in the lantern dungeon, but it is always safer to do it yourself.
After the village chief said these words, he left, leaving behind a bunch of confused players.
The dungeons they usually live in have food guarantees, but if it is a survival dungeon, it will be more difficult.
But this book, although there is no guarantee, it has everything, you just have to do it yourself.
It's okay to only have your own team, but with so many people, who will do it?
Fang Jing disliked this place a little, but she couldn't show it. Now that the village chief had left, she came to Qiu Dong's side.
"Brother, do you have a coat? It's so cold here." Fang Jing is beautiful, especially with a face as big as a palm.
She knows men very well, and men all like cute and delicate girls.
Let me ask you, if a beautiful girl acts coquettishly towards you, which man will not be so confident that he will feel pity.
And she also saw along the way that although Cheng Miao was beautiful, he was aloof and did not know how to speak softly.
Men all need some vanity to admire. Women who don’t know how to act coquettishly are always boring after a long time.
