"I am the mountain god of Jiunv Mountain. What are you and other children doing here in the middle of the night?" Li Xiaoxiao spoke through a voice changer. His voice was hollow and distant. It was so quiet in the middle of the night that his words echoed throughout the forest. If you didn't listen carefully, you wouldn't know where they came from.

"I, I'm a hunter from the foot of the mountain, and I came to the mountain to hunt." Hunter Zhang, a seven-foot-tall man, was so scared that he huddled up into a ball, thinking that the person in front of him was the mountain god.

"I'll give you one more chance to speak. If you don't tell the truth, don't speak again in the future." After he finished speaking, Li Xiaoxiao's figure disappeared. In the blink of an eye, she was standing in front of Zhang the Hunter, holding a long sword in each hand. The silver-white blade flashed coldly under the faint moonlight.

The fear of death came over him, and Zhang the Hunter kowtowed in fear: "Lord Mountain God, spare my life. I will tell you, I will tell you right now, the woman I am in love with has a grudge against Li Xiaoxiao, and it was she who asked me to take revenge on the Li family and tear down their unfinished house. It has nothing to do with me, really nothing to do with me."

"Although you are not the mastermind, you are also a follower. This mountain god is very angry. I give you two choices. Cut off one of your legs or donate all the money in your family to the mountain god." The smile on Li Xiaoxiao's face was hidden by her long hair. He wanted to do something bad to her, and now that she knew about it, he must pay the price.

For a moment, Hunter Zhang was in a dilemma. How could he go hunting in the future if he broke one of his legs? But he was reluctant to take out all the money in his family.

After hesitating for a while, he finally decided that he could earn money again if he lost it, but he only had one leg.

"Lord Mountain God, I will go back and get the silver."

"Go ahead. If you dare to hide the silver, be prepared to bear the wrath of this mountain god." Li Xiaoxiao seemed to see through Zhang the hunter's thoughts and warned him.

Hunter Zhang stood up tremblingly. As soon as the idea came to his mind, the mountain god discovered it. Beads of sweat slid down his head. He dared not have any other thoughts anymore. He had a little doubt about the mountain god before, but now he absolutely believed in him.

He ran quickly towards home and soon came back with a silver bag in his hand.

"Lord Mountain God, Lord Mountain God." Hunter Zhang called out several times but received no response.

As he turned around, a white figure was standing behind him. Silently, Hunter Zhang reflexively took a few steps back, put some distance between them, and respectfully presented the silver with both hands.

Li Xiaoxiao reached out to take it and accidentally touched Zhang Liehu's hand. The cold touch made him quickly withdraw his hand.

Hunter Zhang was even more convinced that the person before him was the mountain god. It was summer and the weather was hot. If it was a human, his hands could not be so cold, as cold as ice.

What he didn't know was that in order to make it more realistic, Li Xiaoxiao kept his hands on ice, which is why his hands were so cold.

“Since you have behaved well, this mountain god will forgive you this time. If it happens again…” He weighed the silver in his hand, which was quite a lot, and did not wait for Li Xiaoxiao to finish speaking.

Hunter Zhang said hastily, "I will never dare to do that again."

"Li Xiaoxiao's family is under the protection of this mountain god. You must not cause trouble to anyone in their family in the future." Li Xiaoxiao thought for a moment and added.

"Yes, yes, yes, I've got it." Hunter Zhang bowed repeatedly, and when he looked up again, Li Xiaoxiao was gone.

He was a hunter and was more sensitive to sounds than most people. The figure seemed to appear out of nowhere and he didn't notice it at all. He looked around and saw darkness everywhere. It felt weird everywhere, so he screamed in fear and ran away. He went home and didn't dare go out for several days.

It took a while for Li Xiaoxiao to come out of the space. She had just counted the money in the space and found that there were more than thirty taels of silver. It was worth it for her to stay up late at night to catch him.

It was already midnight when Li Xiaoxiao got home and she was so sleepy that she fell asleep immediately.

When she woke up the next morning, no one was at home. They must have all gone to the new house. She looked at the time and it was already past eight o'clock. Li Xiaoxiao quickly got up and washed up. Sun had left some food for her in the pot.

After finishing the meal and cleaning up, I saw Aunt Hua as soon as I went out. She was looking eagerly towards the location of her new house on the mountain. Her eyes were eager and a little anxious, and she kept twisting the handkerchief in her hand.

Yes, it was a handkerchief. She was the only woman in Qinghe Village who used a handkerchief. This kind of thing was used by young ladies and ladies in the county town, so she imitated others. Because of this, the women in the village often laughed at her.

"Hey, Aunt Hua, who are you waiting for so eagerly? Those who know that you are already a mother of three children, while those who don't would think that you are waiting for your lover." Li Xiaoxiao said sarcastically. Fortunately, she went with them that night and heard their conspiracy, otherwise the house that their family had worked so hard to build would be destroyed today. She would not let the culprit go, and would not let her go until she could catch her.

As for her adultery, it cannot be made public as that would destroy two families. Damao is still her friend and they are about to reach marriageable age. If such a scandal happened in his family, no girl would marry him.

Aunt Hua's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that she knew something? But then she thought it didn't make sense. She did it so secretly, there was no way anyone would know. She must be talking nonsense.

"Bah, you little whore born to a big whore, why doesn't God strike you to death with lightning? You've ruined my reputation, you must die a horrible death." Aunt Hua started cursing, saying only vicious words.

Li Xiaoxiao had no time to argue with her because she had to cook for the helpers today. She ignored her and gave her a meaningful look when she passed by her.

That look made Aunt Hua feel uneasy. That guy had made a move last night, so there should have been some noise long ago. Why were Li Xiaoxiao's family still as usual? Could it be that he had not accomplished anything? Thinking of this, she stamped her feet in anger and turned around to go home.

Early in the morning, Sun and Li Ruolan brought the prepared pork to the mountain, as well as the two pheasants that Li Xiaoxiao had hunted in the mountain before. The day before, they went to the county town to buy thirty eggs, ten cucumbers, 2 kilograms of beans, 2 kilograms of peanuts, 2 kilograms of tomatoes, 2 kilograms of Chinese cabbage, 2 kilograms of green peppers, and 2 kilograms of vermicelli.

This kind of banquet usually has ten dishes. In previous years when the harvest was poor, there were eight or six dishes. Others work so hard, Li Xiaoxiao doesn't want to be too picky about the food, so she still has ten dishes, with more meat and fewer vegetables.

As for what dishes to cook, I thought about it the day before, fried peanuts, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, stir-fried cabbage with bacon, stir-fried chicken with beans, spicy chicken, braised pork, pork meatballs, fried ribs, pork stewed with vermicelli, and cucumber with pig's head.

Li Dahai and Sun are not stingy people. They both always listen to Li Xiaoxiao and whatever she says is the final word.

Because there were many dishes to prepare and he was afraid that he would not be able to handle it, he called Li Quanfu's wife Zhang to help. The stove was set up not far from the new house. When Li Xiaoxiao arrived, Zhang had already come and greeted her. Li Xiaoxiao also started to work. She prepared the dishes and she had to be the chef.
