Chapter 10 The Mountain God Marries a Wife

Sure enough, this idiot started to show off his skills...

The little squirrel on the altar table couldn't help but roll his eyes.

Li Erhu was startled by his words and stammered: "You...what do you mean by this?"

"What do you think?" Fu Miaozhu sighed and said softly, "Okay, let me make it more clear. The mountain god wants to marry a wife, so he uses this pig leg as a betrothal gift - Li Erhu, I remember the sister of the Qin family You’ll be a hairdresser next year, right?”

"My sister? This..."

Li Erhu was a little overwhelmed by what Miao Zhu said.

If anyone else said this, Li Erhu would definitely not believe it.

But Fu Miaozhu was Lao Miaozhu's nephew after all, and Lao Miaozhu was one of the people he trusted most during his lifetime.

After hesitating for a while, Li Erhu finally chose to believe Fu Miaozhu's words.

He asked cautiously: "Is that okay if I don't want this pig leg?"

"It depends on what Grandpa Mountain God wants!" Fu Miaozhu felt happy and said quickly, "Let's do this. You can send the pig leg over tomorrow, and I will take the pig leg to the mountain to see Grandpa Mountain God and ask for you."

"..."

Li Erhu's expression changed, he thought for a long time, and then nodded.

"Okay, that's it, I'll go back and get the pork leg!"

After saying that, Li Erhu turned around and ran towards his home.

Fu Miaozhu quickly called out to him: "Hey, wait!"

Li Erhu immediately stopped and asked doubtfully: "Is there anything else?"

Fu Miaozhu explained: "Don't be so anxious. Send it over tomorrow and give it another day to think about it."

Li Erhu shook his head: "No need to think about it, I..."

"Oops!" Fu Miaozhu interrupted Li Erhu impatiently, "Li Erhu, why don't you understand what I should say to you? If you return the betrothal gift now, wouldn't you be slapping Grandpa Mountain God in the face?"

"Is...is that so?"

Li Erhu's eyes were a little confused, and he seemed to believe Fu Miaozhu's words.

Fu Miaozhu frowned and said, "Do you know the temperament of Grandpa Mountain God better than I do?"

"Oh well."

After hesitating for a moment, Li Erhu nodded in agreement.

Just as he was about to turn around and leave, Li Erhu suddenly remembered that Grandpa Mountain God's little squirrel was still here, so he quickly ran into the temple and glanced at the little squirrel that seemed to be in a daze on the altar table.

"I almost forgot about you."

Li Erhu breathed a sigh of relief and walked towards the altar table.

Fu Miaozhu followed his gaze and discovered that there was a little squirrel standing on the altar table.

At this moment, the little squirrel was looking at him blankly, with a pair of big and smart eyes full of doubts.

Lin Zhongtian was really puzzled. He didn't understand how this idiot with the position of temple priest dared to say these words.

Didn’t Li Erhu tell him that the mountain god really exists?

He actually dared to use the name of the mountain god to play tricks and make profits for himself?

Lin Zhongtian carefully recalled Li Erhu's words just now, and then recalled Fu Miaozhu's small movements and micro-expressions when Li Erhu told what happened to him today, and he suddenly understood.

This guy didn't listen carefully to Li Erhu's speech at all, but only vaguely listened to it.

It's also Li Erhu's fault that he didn't describe the appearance of the mountain god in detail, but kept mentioning something about the tiger and the wild boar king.

If Fu Miaozhu didn't believe in any mountain gods, after hearing these words, he would unconsciously confuse the concepts of tigers and mountain gods, and regard the tiger mentioned by Li Erhu as the mountain god.

Following this line of thinking, the pig leg was not a reward from the mountain god, but the result of something missed by Li Erhu.

"interesting……"

Lin Zhongtian looked at Fu Miaozhu with playful eyes.

No wonder he said that he would go into the mountains and meet the mountain god. It turned out that he thought the tiger was the mountain god.

Also, if he really believed in the existence of the mountain god, wouldn't it be enough to communicate with the mountain god directly at the mountain temple?

"Come on, little one."

Li Erhu reached out to the little squirrel on the altar table.

Lin Zhongtian naturally couldn't be caught by him, so he jumped lightly, and while avoiding Li Erhu's palm, he landed on his wrist, and then climbed along his arm to his shoulder.

Li Erhu was already used to the little squirrel's flexibility, so he didn't pay attention, turned around and hurried out of the temple gate.

Looking at Li Erhu's worried back, Fu Miaozhu raised the corner of his mouth and couldn't help but show a hint of pride.

Fu Miaozhu's full name is Fu Youzhi, and he is the nephew of Lao Miaozhu. When he was young, he followed his elders in the family to travel for a few years. After being introduced by his elders' friends, he joined a caravan as a clerk. After more than ten years, he managed to get by with a little cleverness. It was not bad, but later I got involved in gambling, and all my savings of more than ten years were lost in just a few days.

Fu Youzhi was naturally unwilling to give in, so he found an old gambler who was also heavily in debt, and wanted to cooperate with him to make a fortune and win back the money he lost together.

But if you often walk by the river, your shoes will never get wet.

It didn't take long for people from the gambling house to focus on him.

It was just a test, and he nervously showed his flaws, and paid a heavy price for it.

If it weren't for the backing of the caravan, I'm afraid he would have been killed and dumped at that time. It would never be as simple as cutting off his fingers.

After this incident, Fu Youzhi was kicked away by the caravan and returned to Qiugang Village in despair.

When someone asked about his fingers, he said that the caravan encountered bandits who robbed the road. Because of his resistance, he was regarded as a model and had all his fingers cut off. Fortunately, the court sent people to suppress the bandits and rescued him. return.

The villagers in Qiugang Village had little knowledge and did not think much about it, so they believed his words.

It happened that the old Miao Zhu passed away due to illness. The village took pity on Fu Youzhi's experience and asked him to take over and became the new Miao Zhu of the mountain temple.

The so-called relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, the villagers of Qiugang Village have been begging for food in the mountains since ancient times, and they are extremely reverent to the mountain gods.

But Fu Youzhi was different. He had seen the world when he was young, and his vision was much broader than that of ordinary mountain people.

When traveling with the caravan, he often stayed temporarily in various ruined temples in the wilderness. In emergencies, he would not forget the incense money and even the tributes in front of the Buddha statues.

Therefore, Fu Youzhi did not have much respect for the mountain god.

He did confuse the concepts of tiger and mountain god in Li Erhu's mouth.

I thought that when the other party said that the mountain god appeared, he was referring to the tiger hunting the wild boar king.

He still doesn't know how stupid what he's doing is, and he's still thinking about how to get greater benefits out of it.

Originally, his target was just the pig leg, but seeing Li Erhu's performance, Fu Youzhi's thoughts came to life.

As mentioned before, the villagers of Qiugang Village are in great awe of the mountain god. Ever since the mountain temple was built, the incense has never stopped.

Relying on the incense money from the mountain temple, Fu Youzhi now has enough food and clothing, but he is missing a wife. People in the village dislike him for his mutilated limbs and are unwilling to marry their daughter.

It just so happens that Li Erhu has a girl who will get haircut next year and is pretty pretty.

When Fu Youzhi was young, he traveled extensively with caravans, and also visited the land of flowers and willows. He could tell at a glance that the girl had hidden charms, and he had been greedy for a long time. However, Fu Youzhi also knew his own situation. If it was normal, According to the customs of marriage, he would definitely not be able to marry such a girl based on his conditions, but it was different now.

Fu Youzhi felt that if this matter could be handled well, he might be able to find a way to trick him into getting a wife back.

But how to do it?

"Let me think about it..."

While Fu Youzhi was talking to himself, he picked up the wild fruit on the altar table, wiped it on his sleeve, put it in his mouth and took a bite.
