A small casual cultivator!

Chapter 1086 The World in the Array

The world inside the array is very big.

Scattered throughout villages and towns.

In another remote corner of the formation.

There is a small town.

Fourteen-year-old boy Sun Yun and his family live here.

They originally lived in a gloomy world, but after the gods appeared several years ago and changed the world in shocking ways, they came to this new land and have now adapted to life here again.

He has his own small mud house and one and a half acres of land.

Although the family lives in poverty, they can still get by.

Sun Yun's father died early, and he had an older sister who was two years older than him. He and his mother depended on each other for support. However, as the only male in the family, he was weak and sickly since childhood, so he was unable to do heavy work and was unable to shoulder the burden of the family early on.

Now all the housework falls on my mother and sister.

However, these days a wealthy family surnamed Chen in the town wants to buy a huge white jade statue of a god, and needs a large number of vanilla lanterns for decoration.

So, Sun Yun made vanilla lanterns at home to supplement the family income.

There are many requirements for the vanilla paper lanterns, and they are used to worship the gods, so there can't be any perfunctoryness. The Chen family checks them very carefully and will not accept them if there is even the slightest defect. Also, the bid is too low, only one copper coin for a vanilla paper lantern, and not many people in the town want to make this money.

But for Sun Yun's family, who were from a poor family, this was one of the few jobs that could make money.

"Brother, the herbs we picked yesterday are almost dry."

Early in the morning, my sister Sun Cui brought over the dried herbs.

Sun Yun was cutting bamboo strips in the yard.

His face was still pale and he looked frail.

Although he couldn't do any heavy work, he was very dexterous and the vanilla lanterns he made made the Chen family very satisfied.

He looked up at his sister and smiled, "Put it here, sis."

Each of these herbs is four feet long, and when burned they emit colorful light and a strange fragrance.

“It’s really exquisite.”

Sun Cui took the finished lantern in her hand and looked at it.

I really admire my brother's craftsmanship.

After years of hard work, Sun Cui's hands have become very rough and covered with a thick layer of calluses.

She would be clumsy if she were to do these delicate tasks. Her daily task now was to go to the Chen family to sell lanterns and go up the mountain to look for herbs, so as to make more money during the time when the Chen family needed her.

"Cui'er, Yun'er, come and eat."

At this time, a woman came out and called the two siblings to eat.

"Good."

The two put down their things and walked into the house.

Sun's mother brought the prepared meal to the table. It was a very simple meal.

But the three of them were not in a hurry to start eating.

Instead, he prayed devoutly and silently to the statue of god hanging in the house.

This is a rule that is subtly accepted by everyone. The gods are the sky and are above everything else. For important events like eating, the gods must be allowed to eat first. Even though everyone knows that the gods will not eat, this is the etiquette and rule.

"God, please bless our family..."

The three of them were muttering to themselves.

After the ceremony, the three of them started to eat breakfast.

"Xiao Cui, after dinner, go ask Grandpa Ning to help us get a statue of a deity. We have saved some money at home. If we continue to worship the portraits of the deities, the deities will think that we are not pious enough. After we invite the deities into the house, they will bless us even more."

During the meal, Sun's mother suddenly said.

She planned to use her savings to buy a statue of god into her home.

"it is good."

Sun Cui agreed immediately, "By the way, take the lanterns my brother made to Chen's house to sell."

The family's biggest wish is to replace the portrait with a more realistic stone statue.

This will bless the whole family to be safe and healthy.

In this town, only Master Ning has the ability to carve statues of gods and spirits.

If one's craftsmanship is not up to standard and there is even the slightest mistake, it would be considered blasphemy against God and cannot be forgiven. One will live in self-blame for the rest of their lives and their life will be worse than death.

Such harsh conditions, please Master Ning, it will cost copper coins, and it is not a small amount.

However, the gods are the top priority for this family, and they are willing to do so even if it means losing everything they have.

"If I had the strength, I would have invited the gods back home long ago."

Sun Yun said self-blamingly.

He usually has to spend money on medicine and medical treatment, otherwise he would have saved enough money to pray to the gods long ago.

Now most families in the town have replaced portraits with statues of gods.

Because of this incident, their family has been unable to hold their heads up in the town.

In fact, everyone knows that a sincere heart is enough, but they always think that stone statues are more pious than portraits, and statues carved from jade are better than ordinary statues.

After breakfast, Sun Cui went out carrying a few woven lanterns.

"Sister, come back early."

Sun Yun shouted at the door.

"it is good."

Sun Cui waved at him.

Today is a special day. Since she wanted to pray to the gods, Sun's mother did not go out to work in the fields, but cleaned the house instead.

All matters concerning the gods are of the utmost importance.

"Mom, let me sweep."

Sun Yun turned and walked into the house.

"Well, the gods will keep you safe."

Sun's mother handed him the broom.

Then he picked up the handkerchief and wiped everywhere in the room, and said excitedly:

"Yun'er, after we invite the gods into our home, we will be able to live a good life. After the gods feel our intentions, they will definitely take better care of our family."

Mother Sun looked at the huge statue standing in the town in the distance, clasped her hands together, and bowed devoutly.

Sun Yun also followed suit and worshipped the statue.

They cleaned the house carefully.

Then he went outside and cleaned up everything around him.

"Mom, is there any happy event today? You are so busy."

A neighbor passing by saw the family busying around and leaned over to ask.

Sun's mother stood up straight and said, "Today, my family will also invite the gods."

"Congratulations, congratulations."

When the person asking the question heard that it was a request to the gods, he immediately congratulated them.

"Let me help you."

In the end, he was even more enthusiastic about coming in to help.

"Need not."

But when Sun's mother saw her neighbor's behavior, she immediately grabbed the broom with both hands and looked unfriendly.

And acted threateningly.

This person obviously intends to steal the fortune.

There is a rumor in the town that when you invite the gods into your house, blessings will be bestowed upon you.

Mother Sun is defending her family's blessings.

Normally, she lives here alone with her two children, so she is bound to be bullied and has become accustomed to compromising.

But today was a big day, and she got the courage from somewhere and started to resist.

Wanting to help at this time is obviously a bad intention. This neighbor must be used to bullying this family.

Seeing the fierce look in Sun's mother's eyes, the neighbor was visibly stunned.

But he just glared at her angrily and stepped back.

If you try to snatch the blessing by force, it will easily turn the blessing into disaster, anger the gods, and the whole family will not have a good end.

"Yun'er, when Master Ning comes, you will carry the god into the house."

Mother Sun leaned over and spoke to Sun Yun.

"Mom, you should come."

Sun Yun shook his head, wanting to give this blessing to his mother.

"You kid, why are you not listening at this time?"

Mother Sun looked at him angrily, then said gently: "Listen to your mother, the gods will bless you to be healthy, and your body will get better little by little."

"Mother, I know."

Sun Yun lowered his head and agreed. If his poor body could be like that of a normal person, he would have been able to go out to the fields to do the hard work and not let his mother and sister work so hard.
