The game starts with fleeing from famine, the boss of the end times is in trouble

"Everyone, cheer up and walk another two miles. Can you see the roof hidden under the trees? We will rest there today." The village chief came again to cheer everyone up.

"Village Chief, are you sure? Is there a village ahead?"

"Village chief, then we don't have to live in the wild today. There are snakes in the wild, it's still very dangerous."

"Village head, do you think there are still people living there?"

"Village Chief, you won't lie to us, will you?"

Everyone started asking questions one after another, fearing that the village chief was telling them a beautiful lie in order to speed up the process.

"You all don't know what kind of person I am. When have I ever lied to you? Of course, no wonder no one can see it. We'll be able to see it after we turn the corner in front. We can't see it now because of the mountain. This is what Zhang the hunter discovered when he went to the front to check the terrain. And it's not far from us. Let's speed up, and we can have a good rest when we get there." The village chief explained to everyone.

"So that's how it is, village chief."

"I'm sorry, village chief, I wronged you."

"Okay, village chief, we're ready to speed up."

The villagers were talking and rushing forward excitedly. As expected, after passing the bend ahead, we saw the roofs of houses under the trees. It was a bit far away, so we couldn't see how big the village was. However, the villagers were very happy. Finally, they didn't have to sleep outdoors.

With hope, everyone held their breath and reached a place with houses. It turned out that this was a land temple, not a village. Looking at it in general, this land temple was quite large. It was big enough for the villagers of Yunjia Village to live in.

Looking closely, the courtyard wall of the land temple is made of stone, and the two wooden doors must be quite old. There is a dent at the two door knockers, and a large gap in the middle of the door panel. The top and bottom of the door panel have rotted, becoming bumpy and looking quite dilapidated.

When the village chief opened the gate, there was a row of houses opposite, a main hall, and three rooms on each side. Entering the main hall, looking up, you can see the God of Land and the Goddess of Land enshrined in the middle. They both look kind. There is a table in front of the statue, and on the table there is a tilted incense burner, and the incense in the incense burner is also spilled on the table.

There was also a worn-out cushion under the table. Looking around, there were many cushions scattered in the hall. The floor of the hall was paved with neat bluestone slabs. Now the floor was covered with mud, and it was obvious that no one had been here for a long time.

In the rooms next to it, there were only a few shabby tables and a few worn-out chairs. The ground was all muddy. Fortunately, the roof was tiled and looked quite new, so it should have been replaced not long ago.

The village chief made some arrangements for the villagers to rest in the land temple tonight.

Speaking of land temples, they are the most widely distributed temples among the people. They are spread across all towns. They are big and small, but they all worship the God of Land. Some only worship the God of Land, while others worship the God of Land and the Goddess of Land together. The God of Land worshipped in land temples has another origin.

It can be traced back to the Zhou Dynasty. There was a man named Zhang Fude, who was born during the reign of King Wu of Zhou. At the age of 36, he became the chief tax officer of the court. He was honest and diligent in his work and loved the people. He lived to be 102 years old and his body was still rosy after being left for several days. A local resident enshrined Zhang Fude's portrait. Unexpectedly, in less than a year, this poor family became rich. Local people worshipped him and jointly built a temple. He was the God of Land.

The God of Land manages the land. He does not hold a high position among the gods, but he is very important to the people. When a child is born or someone dies in the village, they will report to the God of Land Temple. Villagers will also often hold worship ceremonies to express their awe and gratitude to the God of Land, and pray to the God of Land to bless everyone with good weather and peace.

The popularity of the land temple began in the Ming Dynasty. This is related to an emperor, Zhu Yuanzhang. Zhu Yuanzhang was born in a commoner family. When he was a child, his family was very poor and he could not even afford to eat. His real name was Zhu Chongba, and his elder brothers all starved to death. Zhu Yuanzhang was born in a land temple. His childhood experience made him full of gratitude for the land temple. He believed that with the land god managing the area, the Ming Dynasty would be peaceful.

Later, he became an emperor and promoted land temples. Therefore, starting from the Ming Dynasty, the number of land temples increased significantly, and there was one in every village. The God of Land also became the most popular deity among the common people.

Yun Yiyi and her family chose a room at the edge. It was not big, about 10 square meters, empty inside, with a mud floor. The mud floor had been trampled hard, and they could live there after sweeping the spider webs in the corners and the floor. There was also a small wooden window on the back wall, with only the frame left, and no window paper. In this weather, it was neither too cold nor too hot to sleep at night, so it didn't matter if the window was open.

Butcher Yun walked around outside, then took the three brothers to the back of the land temple to pick up stones and came back to build a stove. Zhang took out the food and seasonings for the evening and placed them in the corner. At this time, Butcher Yun and his friends moved a few large stones and built a simple stove. They hurried to collect firewood. Zhang installed the iron pot on top. Poured half a pot of water into it, and after the firewood was brought in, Yun Yiyi helped to light the fire.

"Mom, what are we going to eat tonight?"

"Let's cut some pickled vegetables, stir some dough balls, add two eggs to make soup, and then break the pot cakes into small pieces and put them in to cook together." "By the way, let your father peel the snake skin and wash it, and we'll put half of the snake meat in to cook. The other half of the snake meat will be fried for you tomorrow morning." Zhang said as she stirred the dough balls.

"Okay, mom, it sounds delicious. It tastes even better with snake meat. I have forgotten the taste of meat. Also, mom, the pot cake is fragrant, but it is too hard on the teeth. My cheek hurts every time I bite it." Yun Yiyi said, covering her cheek.

"Yiyi, you are still young and your teeth haven't changed yet. Don't chew it directly next time. Soak it in water before eating. Don't accidentally knock your teeth out."

"Okay, Mom." After hearing what Zhang said, Yun Yiyi imagined herself losing her teeth and speaking with a lisp. Oh, it would be too ugly.

Finally, before the sun set, a pot of dumpling soup with a hint of meat and noodles was ready. Zhang was reluctant to light the oil lamp, and everyone drank bowl after bowl by the firelight in the stove. "Mom, it's so delicious." "Mom, your cooking skills have improved again." "Mom, you are amazing." "Mom, when I grow up, I will buy you meat." Yun Yiyi also said with the three brothers of the Yun family.

Zhang and Yun the butcher laughed happily when they heard the child's words. After dinner, Zhang watched Yun Yiyi drink the boiled and cooled medicine. From tomorrow on, Yun Yiyi would not have to take medicine anymore, as she had finished taking all the medicine prescribed by the old doctor. Then, Zhang simply washed the pots and bowls. Yun the butcher spread the mats and put pillows on them, and everyone lay down in a row, ready to sleep.

Yun Yiyi chose a seat near the door. She had to go out at night, so it was most convenient to sleep near the door. At this time, the land temple was still quite lively. Some housewives were taking their time and were still eating. The main hall had the most people sleeping, and the noise was the most chaotic. It was estimated that the people sleeping in the main hall would not be able to fall asleep for a while.

The moon slowly climbed up the sky, and the noise in the temple became quieter and quieter until it was completely quiet. In the back, there was the sound of snoring. It was late at night, and everyone fell asleep except for the two people on duty in the main hall.
