In ancient times, he became a god in the mountains.

Li Xiuhe sat on the ground and cried helplessly.

She looked around, a look of fear on her face.

There was deathly silence all around, not even the sound of insects or birds chirping. The shade of the trees overhead blocked out the sun, and the air was dark, damp and cold, with a rotten smell in the air.

Li Xiuhe was uneasy and frightened.

Looking back on my short life, it was so pathetic and ridiculous.

She was not loved by her parents since she was a child, and she was not well fed or clothed. Her parents and younger brother died in a drought. She was taken to her second uncle's house and worked from dawn to dusk. There was no light at all in her dark life. Fortunately, her grandmother loved her very much.

After the drought ended, the wild vegetables on the mountains and the water in the rivers were no longer clean. Drinking them would cause scales to form all over the body and the person would die.

Grandma is almost dying of thirst.

There was a Toad Immortal in Toad Ridge. Everyone asked him to exchange the flesh of their relatives for water. Second Aunt said that as long as she gave herself to the Toad Immortal, she could exchange it for water to save grandma.

So she was sent to Toad Ridge.

The Toad Immortal despised her because she was so thin and small. Although he kept her, he did not give her the life-saving water. She stole the Toad Immortal's water and went down the mountain. She was chased by a tiger sent by the Toad Immortal and the water was spilled. She also got lost and didn't know where she ran to.

Now, she can't find her way home.

She is going to die here!

"Wow--" She couldn't face death calmly, so she had to use crying to cover up her inner panic.

Suddenly, a strong nine-colored divine light and golden light shone together, and at the end of the deep forest, there was a faint fairy palace.

Li Xiuhe was stunned.

Was it her dying hallucination?

She stood up and stumbled towards the bright light.

When I ran to the end of the forest, I suddenly found a sacred and magnificent temple embedded in the high mountain in front of me.

She looked shocked.

Has she arrived at the monster's territory?

Gu Yuexi looked at the tearful girl in the water mirror and asked, "Who are you? Why are you here?"

"Monster...monster!" Li Xiuhe covered her mouth and fell to the ground. She was obviously scared to death, but her legs and feet were soft and weak.

It was a broad day and the surroundings were quiet, but a female voice was heard in the dark. No one except a monster would appear here.

Li Xiuhe swallowed.

"I am not a monster!"

"I am the Golden Saint Goddess, the mountain spirit of the Golden Saint Mountain Range. I heard that the people here were suffering from drought, so I came here to save them."

"You're not a monster?"

Li Xiuhe didn't know where she got the courage from. When she heard that she wanted to save the people, she secretly thought that she was not a monster.

Girls in their teens have simple minds.

She didn't have any extra thoughts.

She was just wary and curious.

"Maybe you can treat me as a god!" Gu Yuexi replied.

"immortal?"

Li Xiuhe was shocked and asked with trembling lips: "Are you really a god?"

"Of course!" Gu Yuexi was calm and composed. Although she was not a true immortal yet, it did not mean she would not be in the future.

"Why are you here? And why are you being chased by a tiger?" Gu Yuexi asked again.

Li Xiuhe didn't expect that she even knew this.

I believed it a little bit in my heart.

She...she she she met a real god!

“Thump!” She knelt down and kowtowed: “Goddess of Heaven, please be merciful and have mercy on us. Please save us.”

She cried, "My name is Li Xiuhe, and I'm from Xiaohe Town. The people in this town have been suffering for more than three years. We've had three years of drought, and half a year of hunger and hardship. More than half of the people in this town died during the drought. We finally waited for the drought to end, but the water in the river and the plants on the mountain were contaminated and cannot be eaten. We haven't had a full meal in several years!"

"My grandma is dying of thirst!"

"Goddess, please be kind and save us." Li Xiuhe's voice was dry and unpleasant, not much better than the cry of a mouse.

"You still have not answered my question!"

Li Xiuhe quickly replied, "Your Highness, you may not know that there is an ink pool in Toad Ridge, not far from the town. A Toad Immortal lives in the pool. As long as people cut off some of their own flesh, they can exchange it with him for clean water."

"In order to save my grandmother, Xiaomin was sent to the Toad Fairy by my aunt. The Toad Fairy disliked Xiaomin's thinness and although he kept Xiaomin, he did not give him water to save my grandmother. So Xiaomin stole a jar of water from the Toad Fairy."

"The Toad Immortal found me and ordered his tigers to eat me. I fell into the water while trying to escape and got lost and ended up here."

The girl kneeling outside was very thin, with unkempt hair and skin and bones. Only her pair of dark eyes were particularly bright.

Her face was full of longing as she waited for the gods to save her.

Gu Yuexi exchanged some steamed buns and water for her and gave them to her: "I have urgent matters at the moment. I will come to help you after I finish the things I have on hand."

Li Xiuhe knelt on the ground, respectful and pious. Suddenly, an inconspicuous cloth bag appeared out of thin air in front of her, and the bag was bulging.

She seemed to smell the fragrance of steamed buns.

When I opened it, there were indeed steamed buns inside, and a few heavy bamboo tubes.

The bamboo tube is full of clean water!

“Bang, bang, bang!” Li Xiuhe kowtowed excitedly: “Your Majesty is so merciful and compassionate that you save people from suffering. I will never forget this!”

She kept kowtowing.

When I looked up, the scene in front of me changed drastically.

I saw that the Fairy Temple was no longer there, and in front of me was the entrance of Xiaohe Town.

"I'm back?"

Li Xiuhe, holding the cloth bag in both hands, was in a daze and was extremely frightened.

She kept saying, "Thanks to the Golden Saint Lady!"

She hugged the food and water tightly in her arms and hurried home.

Grandma is still waiting for her.

She was lucky today and met a real god!

The goddess saved her from her suffering and gave her water and steamed buns, which she wanted to share back with her grandmother.

"grandmother!"

Grandma Li was lying on the hospital bed, unable to get out of bed. When she heard her granddaughter's voice, a light flashed in her old eyes. Xiuhe is back!

"Xiuhe!" she called weakly.

"grandmother!"

When Li Xiuhe returned home, her second uncle and his family were not there.

Fortunately, he is not here.

The first thing she said when she entered the house was: "Grandma, I saw a fairy!"

"Silly child, what nonsense is she talking about?" Grandma Li thought her granddaughter was trying to cheer her up.

Seeing that she didn't believe it, Li Xiuhe became anxious: "Grandma, it's true. She said she came to save us. I think her name is Jin Sheng Niangniang. She also gave me steamed buns and water."

She quickly opened the cloth bag.

Grandma Li's face changed: "Close the door quickly."

Li Xiuhe nodded and closed the door.

These things are extremely valuable after the drought, and if they are accidentally seen, it may bring about fatal disaster.

"Grandma, these are white steamed buns and ice-cold water in the bamboo tube." Li Xiuhe said happily.

"Put it away quickly, otherwise it will cause trouble if someone sees it!" Grandma Li said fearfully.

"Grandma, you are sick, drink some water."

Li Xiuhe carefully fed Grandma Li some water.

"Snapped!"

Suddenly, the door was pushed open from the outside.

Her heart trembled, and she immediately hid the water and steamed buns under the bed. Fortunately, neither of these two things had a particularly strong smell.

It was her aunt who came in, and when she saw Li Xiuhe, her eyes were full of shock.
