Transmigrating to another world, starting as a mountain god

Li Yuan arrived at a small county town at the foot of Liangshan Mountain.

"The atmosphere here is auspicious; it doesn't seem like there are any demons causing trouble..."

Li Yuan looked around, somewhat unsure of which way to go.

He thought for a moment and decided to go eat first.

The sky is big and the earth is big, and eating is the biggest thing.

Despite being a 21st-century youth, Li Yuan still has a deep love for food.

However, to his great disappointment, the 'food' in this small county town was just so-so.

Although it is now separated from the Qian Kingdom by thousands of miles, it still tastes pretty much the same.

After casually ordering a few plates of sliced ​​meat, Li Yuan pondered how to fulfill the requirements of the Liangshan Mountain God.

As he was pondering this, he suddenly felt a gaze coming from outside the window.

Li Yuan turned his head and saw a dirty little face staring intently at the slices of meat on the table through the wooden window.

"Want to eat?"

Li Yuan casually pointed to the table.

The little head outside the window nodded timidly after a long while.

"Come in and have something if you want, it's on me," Li Yuan waved his hand.

But after a long while, the dirty child still didn't come in.

Li Yuan thought for a moment, then leaned closer to the window: "Come over if you want to eat, I'm not kidding you."

The child outside the window, dressed in patched burlap clothes, lowered his head upon hearing this.

"Dirty, you'll get beaten up."

Inside the restaurant, the adults were enjoying their food and drinks, their clothes, while not extravagant, were still neat and tidy.

The child stood barefoot by the window, gazing at the open door of the restaurant and the low threshold, as if they were separated by two different worlds.

Seeing the child's timid appearance, Li Yuan beckoned to the waiter.

The waiter trotted over, beaming with a smile:

"Sir, is there anything I can do for you?"

As soon as Li Yuan arrived, he generously ordered a table full of meat dishes, clearly showing he was a big spender.

Looking at the obsequious waiter, Li Yuan picked up a plate of untouched meat slices and pointed out the window.

"I'll give this plate of meat to the child."

"Go and bring it to him."

The waiter glanced out the window and immediately frowned.

"Why is that wretched beggar guarding my house again!"

"If this disturbs the guests' meal, I'll go and beat him up right now!"

Li Yuan tapped the table: "That's just a child!"

The angry waiter, noticing the customer's displeasure, immediately said:

"Please don't be angry, sir. You're in charge! I'll give him the meat slices right away."

Li Yuan nodded and watched as the waiter took the meat out and handed it to the child.

He didn't need to eat anyway, and with his mind preoccupied with things, he immediately lost his appetite and turned to leave through the side door of the restaurant.

What he didn't know was that when the waiter turned around and saw him leave, his expression suddenly changed.

He snatched the plate full of meat back from the beggar child's hand.

His face contorted in a ferocious expression, and he said menacingly:

"You bastard beggar, if you dare come near the restaurant again, I'll beat you to death!"

The beggar child had just received the plate of meat, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and before he could even reach for the meat, the entire plate was snatched back.

He was thin and frail, having not eaten meat for far too long; his face was pale and emaciated, and his belly was shriveled.

The beggar child, lacking the strength to snatch it back, suddenly became anxious:

"This meat was a gift from that esteemed person!"

The waiter spat angrily on the ground: "Pah!"

"This plate of meat costs 30 coins. How can a beggar like you afford it?"

"The customer is just putting on an act out of pity for you; I won't tolerate that!"

"I'm telling you!" The waiter, holding a plate in one hand, grabbed the beggar child's ear with the other.

"If you weren't in the way, the customers might have spent even more!"

The waiter had a fierce look on his face and blamed the beggar child for delaying the restaurant's business.

The beggar child had tears in his eyes, his ears hurt, and he was trembling with fear, too afraid to utter a sound.

The waiter looked arrogant and disdainful.

"Get out of here, stop wasting our time making money!"

The beggar child left crying, his bare feet treading on the ground, among the pebbles.

He couldn't understand why something given to him by someone else could be taken away by another person.

And he was so fierce, as if his very existence was a mistake.

The child ran and cried, his dirty face streaked with tears.

He wandered aimlessly through the streets, and wherever he went, people gave way.

The child didn't beg, nor did he return to his shelter from the rain; he just cried, like a lost soul with nowhere to go.

But as he walked, he seemed to see a strange yet familiar figure from behind.

The figure looked languid and completely disregarded the gazes of others, walking with a rather unruly gait.

Looking around, his smile was serene, his posture carefree, like a free and unrestrained soul.

After confirming, the child ran over.

"grown ups!"

The little beggar called out timidly.

Li Yuan was strolling along the street when he suddenly heard a childish voice.

Li Yuan turned around and saw that it was the beggar child.

Li Yuan smiled kindly, nodded, and continued strolling forward.

The beggar child bit his lip and followed Li Yuan.

The little beggar followed beside Li Yuan, thought for a moment, and said softly, "Thank you for your reward, sir!"

"That plate of meat smells delicious."

Li Yuan's carefree figure paused for a moment.

He stopped and turned to look at the beggar child.

"You didn't even get to eat that plate of meat, so why are you thanking me?"

The child's mouth had no oil at all, and there was no meaty smell on his body; he didn't look like he had eaten meat at all.

Besides, how could a seven or eight-year-old child eat such a large plate of meat so quickly?

The beggar child thought for a moment, then tilted his head slightly.

“My mother said that anyone who wants to help me, even if they only give me half a copper coin, is my benefactor.”

"If I miss out on certain things, it means I'm not meant to be."

Li Yuan's heart trembled. Looking at the dirty, disheveled child in front of him, who was deep in thought, he smiled and said:

"Your mother taught you very well."

"but......"

Li Yuan then changed the subject, saying, "To get some things, fate alone isn't enough; you also need to put in some effort."

"Sometimes, you need to be bolder."

The child seemed to understand something, and gently bit his lip.

His young face was covered in dirt, making him look quite pitiful.

"Today, I'll help you vent your anger," Li Yuan said with a smile after a moment's hesitation.

The child tilted his head and looked at Li Yuan with a puzzled expression.

Li Yuan had already guessed what happened by the restaurant window after he left.

He shouldn't have interfered, but this child is incredibly sensible.

Li Yuan looked up at the sky.

"If it is a mortal's destiny to meet me, then it is also a kind of fate!"

He seemed to understand something and murmured to himself.

After a while.

In that restaurant.

Li Yuan walked in again.

The waiter was attending to other customers. After he finished, he saw Li Yuan sitting by the window again. For some reason, his heart skipped a beat.

His expression shifted, then he put on a smile and went to meet him.

"Sir, would you like to order some dishes?"

The waiter smiled obsequiously.

He felt that Li Yuan probably didn't know about that matter, and even if he did, he shouldn't make things difficult for himself because of a beggar.

Li Yuan looked at him indifferently, then suddenly said, "Give me another serving of the same meat as before."

The waiter froze for a moment, then chuckled, "Sir, you just ate an hour ago, and now you're eating again? Can you really eat that much...?"

Li Yuan smiled, his face kind.

The waiter quickly smiled, bending over and bending his knees.

"none of your business?"

A cold remark gave the waiter quite a fright.

He couldn't tell whether Li Yuan was referring to the present or something that happened before, but he could already hear the anger in Li Yuan's tone.

A silver ingot was slammed onto the table. The waiter couldn't help but steal a glance, swallowed hard, and his eyes gleamed.

What Li Yuan threw out was several taels of silver.

That's enough to buy three tables of meat.

"Yes, yes, I'll serve you the food right away."

The waiter's face turned fawning again, and he hurriedly went to prepare the meat.

At this moment, Li Yuan called softly to the outside, "Come in."

"This time, no one will dare to hit you."

A timid little figure appeared at the entrance of the restaurant, hesitant and uneasy.

But in the end, I took that step.
