CHAPTER 192: CHAPTER 187: MAINTENANCE (4000 WORDS)

They had already reached halfway up the mountain, and the trees blocked the view from those below, so no one could see them.

The village chief sighed softly, "Jiang Hu, don’t take those words to heart just now. It’s not a good thing for others to think Little Lucky Star is a blessing right now."

Jiang Hu nodded with a somber expression, "I know. I have to thank you, village chief. If it weren’t for your timely reaction just now, I almost wouldn’t have known what to do."

Oh~

Little Lucky Star suddenly understood, the village chief was doing it on purpose just now!

That’s right, having others see her as a deity, what would happen if they really expected her to make it rain?

If she couldn’t make the heavens rain, would those people do something even crazier?

Seeing Jiang Hu understand, the village chief’s face relaxed a bit, "It’s good that you understand."

No matter whether the blessing is real or not, these years, Fu’an Village has indeed been cared for by the Jiang family. Even if the idea of the blessing coming down is false, they still need to protect Little Lucky Star.

Of course, if Little Lucky Star is real, then it’s even more important to protect her, right?

After all, he’s a village chief, how could he allow anyone to bully the village’s little child under his nose?

Jiang Hu laughed, "Actually, whether Little Lucky Star is an incarnation or not is not important; what’s crucial is getting through this disaster."

With that, the two frowned slightly again, the village chief shook his head, "Let’s go, let’s take a look first."

Just as they were about to continue, a commotion suddenly came from the foot of the mountain, it sounded like Liu Yang’s voice, but it was too far to hear clearly.

The village chief listened carefully, "Why does it sound like my boy is there too?"

It indeed was Liu Yang and Li Sheng, Little Lucky Star could tell.

Moreover, she could hear that it was Uncle Liu and Uncle Li scolding those people, scolding them for leaving things unfinished.

Her hearing was slightly better than most people, but she didn’t dare to say.

Sure enough, the village chief and Jiang Hu stood in place for a while, and then heard Liu Yang’s loud voice calling for the village chief and Jiang Hu.

"Heard, heard, why shout so loudly, the whole village is being woken by you two."

The village chief walked down a few steps, out of the woods, both disdainful and unable to help but smile;

"So, did you repulse those people with your scolding?"

Just now, the trees blocked those people’s view from below and theirs as well. As they walked out, they saw those people already packing up and leaving.

Li Sheng raised an eyebrow, "Of course, after drawing water here for a month, they still want to bully Little Lucky Star, sparing them a beating is already being polite."

Jiang Hu also descended, finding not only Liu Yang and Li Sheng but also many other men from the village, only Liu Yang and Li Sheng were the loudest.

The village men were keeping a reasonable distance behind those people, watching them leave Fu’an Village.

Jiang Hu felt moved, "Thank you."

Liu Yang chuckled and waved his hand, "What thanks, Fu’an Village has benefited from Little Lucky Star these years; how could we let outsiders come to bully our Little Lucky Star now?"

Beside him, Li Sheng nodded repeatedly, saying ’Exactly’.

"Alright, alright, no more standing around. We’ve delayed enough time; let’s go check on the pond first."

The village chief spoke, and the four, or rather five including Little Lucky Star, quickened their pace.

Little Lucky Star obediently stayed in her father’s arms, unmoving, but feeling very touched inside.

Although at first, people in the village did curry favor with her somewhat, hoping to gain some benefits through her.

Like a bountiful harvest, that kind of thing.

But the villagers were sincere; when they asked her to touch the seeds and say ’bountiful harvest,’ they would give her an egg or a piece of candy.

The purpose was clear, the rewards weren’t high, but no one was greedy. It was an honest exchange.

Over these years, life in Fu’an Village has been very harmonious.

Especially now, everyone is trying to protect Little Lucky Star, whether it’s to prevent her from being bullied or to safeguard her as someone special.

But indeed, everyone’s goal is united, to protect Little Lucky Star, to protect the Jiang family, ensuring outsiders don’t bully the Jiang family.

Little Lucky Star had only one thought now, it seemed her efforts over the past few years were not entirely without results; at least, everyone remembered her.

After reflecting for a while, they had already arrived at the pond, and now, the sky was bright, and they could clearly see the pond.
