Chapter Twenty-Four: The Landlord

  What's wrong with Huang Baozi?

  Lin Xiaofeng was taken aback for two seconds: "What's going on?"

  "I don't know either, you'd better come to the library for a visit."

  Lin Xiao Feng hastily hung up the phone, then put on a coat and rushed out of the door to take a taxi to the library.

  His home is just a ten-minute walk from the library. Rushing to the library, he ran in and saw many students gathered on the first floor inside.

  "Excuse me, thank you, excuse me." Lin Xiaofeng pushed away the onlookers and took a look.

  At this time, Huang Paozi's whole body was cramping, his mouth still foaming with white bubbles, and his eyes rolled back. Xiao Lili stood beside him, unsure of what to do, her face also showing some anxiety.

  "Pangzi." Lin Xiaofeng squatted down beside Huang Pangzi and turned to ask Xiao Lili, "What happened?"

  "I don't know either. I was reading a book with Huang Qianyi here, and he suddenly went crazy and fell to the ground. I've already called 120, and the doctor should be arriving soon."

  Xiao Lili finished speaking, Lin Xiaofeng lowered his head and took a look, no, this fatty has gotten hysteria.

  What is called hysteria is not a disease in the usual sense, but rather refers to being possessed by evil spirits.

  In ancient times, illnesses were divided into two categories: internal and external.

  External diseases are categories that cannot be cured by human power, and this kind of "external disease" is called "hysteria".

  Hysteria is generally caused by evil spirits.

  At this time, Huang Pangzi looked like he had contracted sheep epilepsy in the eyes of ordinary people.

  "Has Huang Pangzi gone anywhere today?" Lin Xiaofeng asked, turning his head.

  Xiao Lili listened and pondered for a moment, looking uncertain about whether she should say something or not.

  She hesitated for a moment before saying, "Before we came to the library, we passed by an alley. Inside that alley was a one-meter-tall land temple with an apple offered to it. Huang Qianyi casually picked up and ate that apple."

  "Grass." Lin Xiao Feng's expression changed instantly, becoming angry. How could the offerings be casually moved?

  Lin Xiaofeng gritted his teeth and carried Huang Baozi on his back, saying: "Take me to the Land Temple."

  Xiao Lili's eyes lit up: "You mean Huang Qianyi didn't get rabies, but was..."

  She didn't say the rest of her words because there were still many students around watching them.

  Pushing through the crowd, Lin Xiaofeng carried Huang Pangzi on his back and followed Xiao Lili in a small run.

  Soon, Xiao Lili took Lin Xiaofeng to an old street.

  This old street is all wooden houses, and it's not the kind of old street that was specially made to attract tourists, but a street left over from last century.

  It was originally planned to demolish and rebuild this old street, but for some reason it ended up being preserved.

  Xiao Lili took Lin Xiaofeng into a small alley.

  The alley was very spacious, but there were few pedestrians. Not long after walking, a land temple appeared in front of Lin Xiaofeng.

  Lin Xiaofeng put Huang Paozi on the ground and rushed to Xiao Lili saying: "Go buy some incense sticks, quickly."

  "Ah, okay." Xiao Lili turned around and ran off.

  Before long, he came back with an incense stick in his hand.

  Lin Xiao Feng half-knelt in front of the Land Temple, opening his mouth to say: "Land Grandfather, my friend unintentionally offended you, I hope you will magnanimously forgive him."

  After finishing speaking, Lin Xiaofeng took out a lighter and prepared to light the incense stick.

  But no matter what, this incense stick just won't light up.

  Lin Xiaofeng's eyebrows were tightly furrowed, the incense didn't burn, of course it wasn't that Xiao Lili had bought fake goods, but rather the Tudi Gong in front of him refused to accept this stick of incense.

  That is, he refused to forgive Huang Baozi.

  Lin Xiaofeng's heart was also getting anxious, he turned his head to glance at Huang Baozi, if they continued to drag on like this, even if Huang Baozi wouldn't die, he would still lose more than half of his life.

  "Kneel down." Lin Xiaofeng shouted at Huang Baozi, then with great effort, he lifted up Huang Baozi and made him kneel in front of the Landlord.

  Then, Lin Xiaofeng took out incense again and lit it up, but still couldn't get it to burn.

  "Landlord, it's just an apple, isn't it that serious?" Lin Xiaofeng felt a bit helpless, this kind of thing was really hard to deal with, and when you thought about it, Huang Paozi had brought it upon himself.

  "If Lord Tudi is willing to forgive him, I will let him come and repair the Tudi Temple again, and apologize to you." Lin Xiaofeng said.

  After finishing speaking, the incense stick finally started burning.

  Seeing this, Lin Xiaofeng let out a sigh of relief. As long as the incense was lit, it meant that Lord Earth had forgiven Huang Baozi.

  Huang Pangzi suddenly opened his mouth and let out a loud "wa" sound as he started vomiting, quickly spitting out chewed up apple pulp.

  "Thank you, Lord Earth." Lin Xiao Feng respectfully nodded towards the Earth God and then put Huang Bao Zhu back on his back.

  Xiao Lili stood to one side, waiting for Lin Xiaofeng to put Huang Pangzi on his back again. Only then did she come to her senses and hurriedly followed behind Lin Xiaofeng as he walked out of the alley.

  "These land temples, are there really Land Lords?" Xiao Lili asked, following closely behind Lin Xiaofeng.

  "What's wrong? Look down on the Landlord?" Lin Xiaofeng gave Xiao Lili a white eye.

  "No, no." Xiao Lili hastily shook her head.

  After what just happened, how could she still dare say something like looking down on Tudi Gong?

  Xiao Lili asked in a low voice: "Isn't Lord Tudi supposed to protect the peace of one side? How come he's doing such harmful things?"

  "Others may be protecting one side, but that doesn't mean they won't fight back when bullied." Lin Xiaofeng looked at Xiao Lili and said: "Nowadays, people don't believe in ghosts and gods, so they don't respect them either."

  "They recklessly bully Buddha statues and dismantle temples." Upon saying this, Lin Xiaofeng couldn't help but let out a long sigh and slightly shake his head: "When retribution arrives, they still don't reflect on their own mistakes."

  Lin Xiaofeng heard that too many such things, destroying the statue of a god or leaving something called "I've been here" on the statue of a god are all disrespectful to ghosts and gods.

  It's payback time, but instead you're blaming others for being petty?

  Xiao Lili nodded slightly after hearing: "I understand a bit."

  "Really understood?" Lin Xiaofeng said with a hint of a smile that was almost imperceptible.

  The two of them sent Huang Paozi to the hospital and then checked what poisonous apple he had eaten. They pumped his stomach and so on.

  The yellow fat boy was tormented until he was half dead and half alive.

  Xiao Lili left the hospital shortly after arriving.

  Lin Xiaofeng has been accompanying Huang Baozi all along.

  It wasn't until eight o'clock in the evening that Huang Pangzi woke up, lying in bed with a pale face. He asked Lin Xiaofeng: "Xiaofeng, what happened to me? How did I end up in the hospital? Wasn't I reading books in the library?"

  Lin Xiaofeng was peeling an apple in his hand, and upon hearing this, he laughed and said: "Did you pick up an apple from the side of the road and eat it? That apple is poisonous, I'll take you to the hospital to have your stomach pumped."

  "I'm going, is this for real? That's an offering to the Landlord God, what kind of thing is that, and they even put poisonous apples in it. Luckily I, Fat Brother, have a big life, but people these days, how can their quality be so low?"

  Lin Xiaofeng couldn't help but laugh after hearing this, and said: "This kid is actually blaming others?"

  Suddenly, Lin Xiaofeng saw someone walking past the door outside, and his face changed.

  Huang Pangzi was saying, "Hey, why does your face look so terrible?"
