Origin System, I have a barren mountain

DouDou's mother hadn't really thought about the other side of the story. She just felt that she had discovered an important secret and had to tell Huang Shanling. She never considered that if Huang Shanling suspected her of having any sinister intentions.

"I, I, Ling of the desolate mountain, you have to believe me. I am guarding the desolate mountain now. The vegetables and grains in the desolate mountain have never restricted me in any way. Why would I do something as cruel as them, just for food?"

Huang Shanling wore a forced smile, showing a slight degree of belief in Dou Dou's mother's explanation.

"Well, I believe you."

DouDou's mother breathed a sigh of relief and quickly explained, "I feel so sorry for these talented people. I heard that they could have saved so many people, but now they've been killed and left to become wronged souls in the fields. I just can't bear it."

More importantly, she now suspects that the large number of deaths of extraordinary individuals may be due to some people's desire to tightly control wealth, which is why they chose this method.

“Lord Huangshanling, you don’t know, I have seen those people who own land. The vegetables and crops they grow seem to have made them too lush and healthy. In this era, they look out of place. Even so, they seem not to be satisfied.”

As soon as DouDou's mother thought of something, she knelt down before HuangShanLing.

"We have only survived thanks to your protection, Spirit of the desolate mountain. What if you are betrayed by them?"

DouDou's father initially thought his wife was scary, but now, after hearing what she said, his expression turned serious.

Because he knew that all the good life he had now was because of Huangshanling, and if Huangshanling lost, it would be terrible.

Cheng Yunmo did not hesitate. In fact, it would be impossible for her not to feel scared when she learned about this.

However, there are some things that she is not actually capable of doing.

Even the food and water seemed to be given by others, and the supply was intermittent. In fact, compared with those talented and extraordinary people, I was more likely to lose.

But he couldn't say such a thing.

Cheng Yunmo originally thought it would be better to hide for a while longer, but this matter didn't give her even a few days to hide before it came knocking on her door.

Lord Liu did not expect that as soon as he returned to the palace, the emperor would hand him a memorial that he had already read.

Cheng Yunmo sat down and looked at Lord Liu with a puzzled expression.

I don't know what kind of memorial it was, but Lord Liu actually took it over.

"Lord Cheng, please take a look."

Lord Liu showed the memorial he had presented to Cheng Yunmo.

Cheng Yunmo realized that this might be the Emperor's intention, so he took the memorial, glanced at it, and read it quickly. After finishing, he was silent for a moment and looked at Dou Dou's family who were guarding the door.

"DouDou's mother told me about this, but I just didn't expect that even the Emperor knows about it now."

Lord Liu had not expected this, and now it was his turn to be somewhat surprised.

"So, you, Huangshanling, are very well-informed?"

Cheng Yunmo glanced at Dou Dou's mother at the door. Actually, she wasn't a very well-informed person. If it weren't for Dou Dou's mother, how would she have known?

"Sigh, to be honest, this matter didn't attract much attention at first because no one knew that killing people with special abilities could be used to make food grow vigorously in this way. Someone used such a strange method, which is why people with special abilities were eliminated. So how will people with special abilities be viewed in the eyes of others?"

Cheng Yunmo thought about it and figured that most people would agree that it would be better to just kill the talented individuals directly.

After all, if you kill them quietly, you'll get a vegetable garden with good weather and abundant harvests. In such a chaotic world, that's a very wealthy thing to do, and everyone knows that.

“These people use very bad methods. There are basically no more talented people left. But Huangshan Ling, your existence will attract more attention.”

Lord Liu said.

There's no way we wouldn't panic about this. If something were to happen to Huangshanling, it would truly feel like the sky had fallen.

Cheng Yunmo saw Dou Dou carrying a big watermelon, and she came over excitedly. When she saw Lord Liu, her little face was full of surprise.

"Lord Liu, you've arrived."

DouDou was holding a very large watermelon. When she saw Lord Liu, she forgot to put the watermelon down and just kept holding it like that.

When Lord Liu turned around to greet Dou Dou, he was surprised to see the watermelon that Dou Dou was holding.

DouDou's mother was holding Cui Ming, who had just woken up, and watched her son enter the room. As he was talking while holding a large watermelon, she couldn't help but smile.

"Watermelon, this is something I haven't seen in many years."

Lord Liu looked at the watermelon with delight and said...

"When Lord Liu leaves, he may take two more with him."

Upon thinking of this, Lord Liu subconsciously thought of the Emperor.

The emperor would be very happy if he could eat watermelon.

"His Majesty's idea is to send more people to protect you, but he's worried that it might be superfluous, and you don't need them."

After all, food is already in short supply. Although following Huang Shanling might make things much better than in the palace, they didn't want Huang Shanling to have more trouble than to solve their problems.

"There's really no need for protection. I feel that the Emperor is now hesitant to do anything, perhaps because the national treasury is empty and it's difficult to investigate this matter thoroughly?"

Cheng Yunmo didn't say it very bluntly, but she was aware of the palace's current predicament.

Lord Liu was truly struck by a revelation, leaving him unsure of where to begin.

"It's alright. You can take any of the vegetables and grains here, sir. As the spirit of the desolate mountain, I should not only think about those who come to the desolate mountain spirit, but also about helping more people survive."

Lord Liu never considered taking anything in large quantities from the barren mountain spirit.

After all, this matter had to go through Huangshanling. The reason he didn't ask was that he knew Huangshanling would definitely not refuse as long as he asked.

But it's too difficult to get the spirit of the desolate mountain. If we really agree, the damage will probably be even greater.

So, I'm too embarrassed to mention it.

“I think that now that His Majesty has solved the most difficult problem, dealing with talented and extraordinary people will no longer be a problem.”

Lord Liu was helpless. He had originally hoped that the spirit of the desolate mountain could come up with a brilliant idea.
