Free Web NovelChapter 1149: Chapter 1148: Miao Race Grand Assembly
This scene caused Miao Axiong’s expression to change drastically, and the look he gave Lin Fan became even more hateful!
However, Lin Fan didn’t regard this Miao Axiong at all, he laughed coldly, looking at Miao Axiong with amusement, and said, "How about now?"
"Kid, you’ve got guts!" Miao Axiong said with hatred.
Miao Qiaomei didn’t expect Miao Axiong to dare to threaten the construction workers behind her back, and said sternly, "Miao Axiong, from today on, you’re not allowed to come to the construction site anymore!"
"Yes! Princess!"
Miao Axiong didn’t dare to defy Miao Qiaomei’s authority and had to nod obediently, hastily leaving the construction site with his father!
However, as he was leaving, Miao Axiong cast a sinister glance at Lin Fan!
With Lin Fan’s alertness, how could he not notice Miao Axiong’s sinister gaze, but Lin Fan didn’t take it seriously at all!
If Miao Axiong dared to threaten Lin Fan, Lin Fan would not consider Miao Qiaomei’s face and would let Miao Axiong know the consequences of offending him!
Afterwards, Lin Fan turned around and looked at the construction workers behind him with an apologetic tone, "Everyone, I’m sorry for startling you all, but please rest assured, such things won’t happen again. On behalf of Yanyu Group, I apologize to you all!"
The construction workers hadn’t expected Lin Fan to be someone from Yanyu Group, thinking he was a senior executive specifically sent to console them; they all waved their hands, saying it’s okay!
Thereafter, Lin Fan took out all the money he had and handed it to the foreman in front of him, saying, "Take this money and get something nice to eat in the city, don’t let the brothers suffer!"
"This... we can’t accept this!" the foreman said with embarrassment.
"Take it!"
Lin Fan pulled the foreman’s hand and placed the money in his hand!
The foreman, looking at the money in his hand, was visibly surprised and flattered, and his impression of Yanyu Group improved significantly, making him work even more diligently in the future!
Later, Lin Fan and Miao Qiaomei did not linger any longer and returned to the village, had a simple meal, and then rested!
The night passed in the blink of an eye!
The next day, when Lin Fan woke up, the sky was still dimly lit!
All night last night, Lin Fan was three parts grateful and seven parts sleepy. In this unfamiliar place, Lin Fan didn’t dare to sleep deeply. If any danger occurred, the consequences would be unimaginable!
Lin Fan lit a cigarette, gazing out the window, and to his surprise, he found that many villagers were already awake, all heading in the same direction—towards the back mountain!
"What are they up to?" Lin Fan wondered!
However, Lin Fan didn’t dwell on it, perhaps it’s a custom of the Miao People!
After that, Lin Fan didn’t go back to sleep! freewebnσvel.cøm
Until the day was fully bright.
"Knock knock~"
A series of knocking sounds came from the door!
Lin Fan got up and went to the door, opening it to reveal the young man who had led Lin Fan and the others up the mountain yesterday!
"The princess asked me to take you to the back mountain!" the young man said.
"Okay! Please wait a moment!"
Lin Fan nodded, then went back inside to wake Nie Lei and the others!
When they came out of the room, the young man was still waiting outside, and when he saw them, he said, "Follow me!"
With that, the young man led the way towards the back mountain!
At the back mountain, Lin Fan was amazed to see that the high platform was filled with people; almost everyone from the Miao Village was gathered there!
The people were sitting around the Miao deity, the stone carving of the Snake Woman, placing their left hands on their right chests, muttering something. Although the voices weren’t loud, with so many people chanting together, Lin Fan and the others could hear them clearly!
"What are they chanting that sounds like gibberish?" Nie Lei muttered under his breath.
"Don’t speak out of turn! This is our respect for the deity!" the Miao young man glared at Nie Lei and scolded.
Lin Fan turned his head to give Nie Lei a look, signaling him not to speak carelessly, and Nie Lei shrugged in resignation, agreeing!
Lin Fan said, "In ancient Huaxia, there were many sects, each race had its own beliefs; maybe this is the belief of the Miao People!"
"I don’t understand their thinking; do they really believe that praying to a deity will bring endless wealth? There are no free lunches in the world!" Nie Lei remarked.
"Faith is actually a kind of belief, it can give people a sense of strength, so those with faith often work harder, whereas those without faith are like living dead!"
"To put it simply, faith is also a kind of dream, a kind of motivation! Actually, everyone has faith, and it can be of many kinds, not just worshiping deities!" Lin Fan explained.
Nie Lei nodded in agreement!
Lin Fan and the others stood on the spot for a full half-hour before the voices from the Miao People began to quiet down!
At this time, Miao Qiaomei, who was sitting cross-legged under the stone carving of the Snake Woman, stood up and slowly opened her tightly closed eyes.
Seeing Lin Fan and the others, Miao Qiaomei immediately waved at him, signaling them to come over!
"Let’s go! Over there!"
Lin Fan said and without hesitation, walked onto the high platform, under the curious gazes of the Miao People, heading towards Miao Qiaomei!
"Why did you call us here?" Lin Fan asked curiously.
"Didn’t you suspect there’s an entrance to an ancient tomb beneath our Miao deity? I can’t make the decision to let you dig, so I can only use this method to get the approval of our Miao people!" Miao Qiaomei said.
"Thank you!" Lin Fan expressed his gratitude.
"You helped my Miao people build tall buildings, it’s only right for me to help you!"
Miao Qiaomei chuckled lightly!
This girl seemed to have a mischievous spirit, and as a Miao princess, she could say that her whole body was poison; if she wanted to, she could even silently kill someone with poison!
However, this girl was indeed very beautiful; although her skin was a bit darker, her smile was very adorable!
Miao Qiaomei casually waved her hand, signaling everyone to quiet down and listen to her speech!
Miao Qiaomei said, "Everyone, now I want to introduce those beside me, this is Mr. Lin, who is building tall buildings for our Miao People. I hope all of you are grateful to Mr. Lin!"
"However, Mr. Lin also has something to ask of us during this visit to our Miao Village, so I hope everyone will help Mr. Lin, to repay our gratitude to him!"
Miao Qiaomei deliberately recounted Lin Fan’s contributions to the Miao Village as a prelude, paving the way for Lin Fan’s request to excavate the passage under the Snake Woman statue!
