Yan Jie smiled and said, "Combining Chinese and Western cultures, aren't you afraid of two gods fighting in the sky?"

"You mean for me?"

Jiang Hexi pointed at himself and said, "How can a commoner like me deserve to let Allah and the river god fight for me?"

Seeing that she was quite self-aware, Yan Jie agreed and said, "That's right. Since the two sides can't fight, it's better to ask for two instead of one, which is a double insurance."

Jiang Hexi stood aside, gave up the place for worship, and looked at him silently.

Yan Jie sneered, "I don't believe this."

“I didn’t believe it at first.”

Jiang Hexi presented the facts and reasoned with him, "But Aunt Cui told me about the flood in the village before, so I believed it."

Chu Yang heard their conversation and was deeply attracted by it. He chased after them from the living room:

"Sister, what's going on?"

"Twenty-six years ago, there was a big flood in the village."

Jiang Hexi said seriously, "There was no reservoir at that time, and most of the fields in the village were flooded, except for Cui Atai's wheat field."

Chu Yang had a vague impression, "Atai's land is on the hillside, the terrain is uneven, but the location is not too high."

Jiang Hexi nodded at him. "The reason why that piece of land was not flooded was because the water from the mountain flowed down from the edge of the wheat field and collided with the rising flood to form a vortex, which changed the direction of the flood. That's why A Tai's wheat field was not flooded."

Chu Yang couldn't help but sigh: "Amazing."

"This one-in-a-million good thing happened to Grandma Cui," Jiang Hexi looked at the offerings on the tea table and said mysteriously, "Grandma told me that it was because she worshipped the river god."

She lit the incense in her hand, fanned out the sparks, took out three sticks and handed them to Chu Yang.

Chu Yang took the incense with both hands, walked to the coffee table, bowed three times devoutly, and inserted the incense into the incense burner.

Jiang Hexi handed the lit incense to Chai Fei, Yu Xiangwan and Xie Wanyi in turn. Adhering to the principle of believing it is better to believe it than not, they stepped forward one by one to worship the river god.

Only Yan Jie was still standing there indifferently.

He had neither the sincerity to step forward and pay his respects, nor the intention to walk away to avoid suspicion. He just stood at the door like a plague god.

Jiang Hexi was so annoyed with him that she handed three sticks of incense to him and threatened him with a biting voice:

"Don't be so ignorant, go and worship the river god."

"Are you sure you want me to worship the river god?"

"Otherwise, what are you doing here?"

Yan Jie looked down at the Gaoxiang that was emitting wisps of smoke and reminded her:

"Don't you forget what my nickname is on the Internet?"

"Yan Wang, uh, Yan Wang."

Jiang Hexi's expression was empty, changing from the fierce and awe-inspiring look before, to a confused and silly one in a second:

"I don't know much about folk customs. Will this offend others?"

"What do you think?" Yan Jie glanced at her.

Jiang Hexi was still wondering what the taboo was when a bolt of lightning struck from the sky, followed by a loud thunder that exploded in her ears.

It's like a punishment from heaven.

She silently took back the three incense sticks and bowed three times to the river god as an apology.

Yan Jie looked at her pious appearance and couldn't help but smile.

[Ximei's last bit of stubbornness was struck by a bolt of lightning, hahahahahaha. ]

[The King of Hell cannot worship the River God. What kind of joke is this? It made me laugh like a pig. ]

[Yan Wang actually used his nickname to fool Xi Mei, and he succeeded...]

[Alas, in front of King Yan, Sister Xi’s arrogance never lasts more than three seconds before she is beaten back to her original innocent and naive state.]

[Am I the only one who thinks that the lightning came just in time? Look at Ximei's expression when she was struck by lightning. It's as funny as it can be.]

Unclogging a waterway is an incredibly exciting experience.

Because of this incident, Jiang Hexi ate a large bowl of rice in the evening. Chu Yang even ate two bowls of rice and still felt it was not enough, so he drank up the remaining chicken soup.

Yan Jie couldn't help but become suspicious, so he went to talk to the PD who was filming, and in just a few words he asked about what happened in the afternoon.

He walked back to the living room, sat in the middle of the sofa, and seriously asked the two people opposite him:

"I heard that you jumped into the stagnant water to chop trees this afternoon?"

Chu Yang stuffed a piece of dessert into his mouth, turned to look at Jiang Hexi, waiting for her to speak.

Jiang Hexi put down the book "Next Stop: White, Rich and Beautiful" in his hand and corrected his mistake:

"It's not a stagnant pool, it's a rain pool."

"What's with that stench in the car when we get back?"

Yan Jie didn't want to lose his temper with her, but she almost got into trouble again and again, so he had to get angry and say:

"Do you know how many bacteria are in that stagnant water? What if you get a wound and it gets infected and festers?!"

Jiang Hexi wanted to keep things quiet, so he turned to look at Chu Yang and asked, "Yang, are you injured?"

Chu Yang swallowed the snack in his mouth and said honestly, "No."

"I was wearing a raincoat and was well protected. I was not scratched by branches or cut by weeds."

Jiang Hexi made light of the situation and promised, "Chu Yang and I will not act rashly again in the future."

"It was you who caused the bamboo raft to slide last time, and it is you who walked into the stagnant water this time."

Yan Jie angrily asked, "How can you guarantee that you won't do it again next time?"

Chu Yang and Jiang Hexi finally understood that he was angry and no matter what they said, they would be scolded. So they simply shut up and pretended to be deeply reflecting on themselves.

Yu Xiangwan brought a glass of water and gently placed it in front of Yan Jie.

She could confront Shen Yingyu in person, but she didn't dare to refute a word from Yan Jie.

There is no way. Yan Jie’s mouth is too poisonous. If you can’t kill him with his words, his harsh words will make you doubt your life.

Yu Xiangwan straightened his expression and said, "At that time, I tried to stop you from entering the water, but you didn't listen. Now that you've been scolded, you realize how serious the consequences of an accident can be!"

She continued to save the situation in a roundabout way, saying, "From now on, whenever you encounter a difficult problem, a problem that you can't solve, or a problem that you can't make up your mind about, you should report it to King Yan before making a decision. Do you hear me?"

Jiang Hexi ran down the stairs she handed him:

"Wanwan, I will definitely ask for instructions from my superiors in the future. I will never do anything that Prince Yan doesn't approve of."

Chu Yang also followed suit and said, "Whatever Brother Yan says is what I will follow."

Yu Xiangwan looked at Yan Jie and asked what he meant.

Yan Jie calmed down a little and looked at Jiang Hexi steadily, "Are you feeling unwell with a fever, stuffy nose, sore throat, etc?"

Chu Yang answered quickly: "No."

Seeing Yan Jie's expression suddenly turn cold, Jiang Hexi immediately replied, "I don't have any either."

Only after hearing this, Yan Jie was able to overcome the hurdle in his heart.

Her safety is his bottom line, otherwise, he will never let her go.
