Chapter 12 Enjoying Happiness
Lin Zhongtian eavesdropped for a while and couldn't help laughing.
What did he think it was!
It turns out that Fu Miaozhu started to show off his skills again.
After defrauding Li Erhu of the pig leg, this guy didn't know what he was thinking, but actually returned the pig leg. He said that the mountain god refused the Li family's proposal to break off the engagement, and asked the Li family to send Li Erhu's sister to the hospital early tomorrow morning. Got married in the mountains.
To be honest, if Fu Miaozhu just defrauded him of the pig legs he gave to Li Erhu, then Lin Zhongtian wouldn't care.
But now it seems that the purpose of paying temple blessings is obviously not that simple.
Either he wanted to kill the Li family, or he had fallen in love with Li Erhu's girl.
The former is thankless and inconsistent with Fu Miaozhu's selfish character.
Therefore, Lin Zhongtian believes that the purpose of paying temple blessings should be the latter.
Not only that, he also informed the whole village about this before returning the pig legs.
In just one night, the entire Qiugang Village was as shaken by the news as if a bomb had been dropped into the calm lake.
These people have worshiped the mountain god for generations, and they both fear and respect the mountain god. They easily believed Fu Miaozhu's words, and thus the scene before Lin Zhongtian appeared.
After learning that the mountain god was getting married, all the villagers, old and young, came to Li Erhu's house and persuaded Li Erhu's family to accept the marriage.
Li Erhu was naturally unwilling, and his mother, the crying woman in the house, was also unwilling at first, but after being persuaded by the village elders for a while, she seemed to think about it and nodded while crying.
Seeing that Li Erhu's mother had been persuaded by him, the old man chuckled and walked to Li Erhu on crutches to continue persuading her.
"Erhu, why don't you understand? Fu Miaozhu has already asked the Mountain God that he doesn't agree to break off the engagement. You have also seen the Mountain God appear. How dare you go against the Mountain God's will?"
"I……"
Li Erhu's lips moved, wanting to refute, but he didn't know how to refute.
All he could do was hold his neck, blushing and glaring at the village elder in front of him who seemed to be so sincere.
At the same time, Li Erhu's mother also stopped crying, seemed to have accepted her fate, wiped away her tears, and actually came over and began to persuade Li Erhu to accept the marriage.
"Yes, Erhu, just listen to Grandpa Liu. Fu Miaozhu took all the incense money donated by the villagers over the years and gave our family a betrothal gift on behalf of the mountain god. It's a lot of money. You don't have to worry about getting a wife." Got it!"
"But my sister..."
"What is she?" The old man surnamed Liu glared at him, stretched out a hand, and kept poking the air while saying, "Your sister is going to marry the mountain god, and the mountain god lives in a white jade palace. The food and drinks we eat and drink are all golden elixir fruits, fine nectar and jade dew. How can we suffer if we can only enjoy blessings when following the Mountain God?"
"Other people who want to have such a marriage have no chance!"
"Yes, if your sister can marry Lord Mountain God, she will enjoy many blessings in the future!"
"..."
Everyone gathered around Li Erhu and talked a lot, as if their family had taken some huge advantage.
Lin Zhongtian stood outside the window and listened for a while, silently retracting his previous evaluation of the villagers' simple character.
Sure enough, wherever there are people, there will be right and wrong. How can there be any place where the years can be truly peaceful...
Lin Zhongtian curled his lips, jumped up, and jumped lightly to the eaves. When he opened his eyes, he easily found the crying girl hiding in the hut in the northwest corner.
Beside the girl, there were two ladies who were laughing and changing their bright red wedding clothes, seemingly unaffected by the sobbing of the girl beside them.
Such a dramatic scene reminded Lin Zhongtian of several horror movies with dark marriage themes that he had watched in his previous life.
It's a pity that there are no ghosts in this world, otherwise it would be able to let them experience how they felt in the cinema.
"What a pity..."
Lin Zhongtian smacked his lips, jumped off the eaves, ran to the door of the northwest corner house and looked at the girl inside.
The girl was slender and had a delicate face. Although she was dressed in simple clothes and did not wear makeup, she could already see her beauty. If she had been born in the era of his previous life, she would have been considered a highly beautiful girl.
Of course, this is what the little squirrel sees in his body.
If it were the Byakugan-like perspective just now, it would be completely different.
Lin Zhongtian's white-eyed perspective is a high-dimensional perspective similar to the spiritual scanning in immortal novels. From this perspective, not to mention the pores and mites on the skin, you can even see the other party's internal organs and the moving feces in the large intestine. Got it crystal clear.
It is for this reason that Lin Zhongtian rarely uses this high-dimensional perspective after changing his flesh and blood body.
After all, his aesthetics and cognition are still biased towards humans, and he can't stand this kind of too real stimulation.
Looking at the girl in the house, Lin Zhongtian thought for a moment, then ran into the house on his four short legs, making the girl scream in surprise.
The two women nearby also saw the little squirrel. They immediately stopped their sewing, picked up whatever was handy and began to chase the little guy who had barged in.
Suddenly, chairs overturned and tables overturned, and the whole room was filled with exclamations of girls and shouts of women.
Even the wedding dress that had not yet been sewn was stepped on by the little squirrel.
The two women cursed a few times when they saw this, picked up the squirrel and continued to chase the little squirrel, but the other woman easily dodged it. After a few dodgers, they walked out of the house and disappeared into the yard.
After an unknown amount of time, all the people gathered in Li Erhu's yard dispersed.
Only Li Erhu and his family of three were left at home, doing their own thing silently.
My mother silently boiled water to cook. The ingredients were the pig legs returned from the temple ceremony.
The younger sister was holding a red wedding dress, sitting on the threshold as if she had lost her soul, looking at the sky outside the window.
Li Erhu was sitting quietly by the bed, staring at the cracks in the bricks on the ground, wondering what he was thinking.
Suddenly, a stone flew from the window and hit Li Erhu in the head.
Li Erhu cried out in pain, rubbed his head and raised his head, just in time to see a small gray-brown squirrel on the windowsill, looking at him quietly with an idiot's eyes.
"Where were you before?"
Li Erhu asked subconsciously.
But then, he seemed to think of something, and his eyes when looking at the little squirrel suddenly became complicated.
"You were the one who tipped off the mountain god, right?"
"...?"
What kind of brain circuit does this guy have?
Lin Zhongtian couldn't help but rolled his eyes again.
Li Erhu didn't notice, he seemed to be still immersed in his own world.
Sighing, Li Erhu leaned back, lay on the bed, and said softly: "My father died early, and my mother has no independent opinions, and her temper is as soft as a puddle of mud. It can be said that since the age of eleven, , I am the one who calls the shots in this family. At that time, the old man told me that an elder brother is like a father, and I want to take care of this family for my father and shoulder my father’s responsibilities..."
Li Erhu rambled on and began to tell his story.
Lin Zhongtian stood on the windowsill and listened quietly.
This story is not too long, and the plot is very simple. It is the story of a young man who lost his father when he was young, taking up the responsibility of his family and supporting his sister. He had read a lot of stories like this in his previous life, and there was nothing surprising about it.
But when this story really appeared in front of him, Lin Zhongtian still wanted to do something.
It just so happened that that idiot Miao Zhu was frantically looking for pictures in front of him, which had already made him feel bored.
If you can use this matter to plan something...
Lin Zhongtian thought for a moment, stretched out a sharp claw, and left a line of traditional Chinese characters learned from a private school book on the window sill. Then he looked at Li Erhu, who was still immersed in his own world, and turned to leave.
