Chapter 149 First Hearing

Doctor Qian was somewhat tempted.

Such a deity is much better than the giant hooked poisonous scorpion beast in their town.

The giant hooked poisonous scorpion beast not only eats people, but also demands more.

They are in the Scorpion Temple, and have to pay "God's tax" every month. There are also gifts for New Year and other festivals, gifts for God's birthday, and so on. All kinds of complicated tax gifts are almost draining them dry.

Doctor Qian asked, "Is there no one in charge of the temple inside? No priests or anything like that?"

Yu Zhongdou: "I don't know. Our temples...are all managed by the villages themselves. Each village manages its own mountain temple. Why should we pay for this? We have already paid for the construction of the three temples. We also bring our own tributes, incense and candles every time."

Doctor Qian: “…”

I’m afraid this guy has never been to the Scorpion Temple to worship?

If he had been there, he wouldn't have said such a thing.

Suddenly I also want to build a mountain temple, what should I do?

It’s a pity that this is Lanwa Town.

"Alas..." Doctor Qian sighed heavily. Lanwa Town was the territory of those family gentry. It was not the turn of a small man like him to make the decision.

Doctor Qian asked quietly, "Do we have to build a mountain temple? Can't we invite the gods back home? I heard that in some places, the gods can be brought back home and worshipped in the shrines at home."

"I don't know. I have to ask the mountain god." Yu Zhongdou really had no idea. It was also his first time as a god's messenger, and he had to do many things by feeling his way forward.

He also encouraged Dr. Qian, why not give it a try?

Even though it may not work, I think the mountain god won't blame me. Anyway, it is not a matter of offending Lord Mountain God. Yu Zhongdou feels that with Lord Mountain God's temper, He still encourages believers in the field to try more.

All the bracelets and amulets in Yu Zhongdou's hand were taken away by Doctor Qian.

He didn't keep it for himself, but collected it and then sold it to other people.

This was also done to protect Yu Zhongdou from being targeted by the family gentry in the town.

Doctor Qian has been in this town for so many years, and he was able to open a small pharmacy in the slums. He must have his own way of survival.

Yu Zhongdou came to Lanwa Town, earning money was just a side job, the main purpose was to hook up with Qiu Li, he was hoping someone could help him take over these businesses.

Since Doctor Qian was willing to take over, Yu Zhongdou was naturally willing to give it.

Yan Liqun happened to be out of town last night and completely missed the monster's attack. When he came back and learned about this, he was shocked.

Doctor Qian knew that he had a bracelet in his hand, and when he heard that he had come back, he quickly called him over and gave him some instructions.

"Is this true? You're not lying to me, are you?"

Doctor Qian looked at Yan Liqun with disbelief and said, "Who am I? Don't you know? How could I lie to you about something so important? I've already told them that it was my ancestor's tablet that drove away the monster, and it was broken last night...

Those families know what happened last night and will definitely send people to investigate. You should also be aware of this and prepare some things with you so that no one will find out about the bracelet.

Once we discover it, we won't be able to keep it. ”

The price of a dozen coins could be used to obtain an amulet that could ward off monsters below the Heavenly Rank. If those families knew about this, how could it fall into the hands of ordinary people like them?

dream!

It would be strange if they didn't monopolize everything.

When Doctor Qian resold the amulets to other people, he also found people he trusted and repeatedly instructed them about them.

These are life-saving things. Who would be a fool to spread them out and let others know? His legs will definitely be broken.

Doctor Qian also wanted to suggest to Yu Zhongdou whether the shape of the bracelet amulet could be changed so that they were not made exactly the same.

Make them in different appearances so that if one person is exposed, the others can be saved.

Yan Liqun's heart was pounding as he remembered the bracelet amulet in his nephew's hand.

At that time, they all thought it was just an ordinary amulet. The nephew Yan Chunsheng was worried about his sister, so he gave the amulet to his sister when he returned to the village yesterday.

Fortunately, Yan Chunsheng has not married yet, otherwise if his niece-in-law knew about it, she would definitely ask for the bracelet amulet back.

Yan Liqun quickly took off the amulet on his wrist and stuffed it tightly into his arms.

When he was ready to go back, he found a purse to pack it up, hung it around his neck, and hid it in his lapel.

With such an important thing happening, Yu Zhongdou was a little worried that he might not see Qiu Li again today. Unexpectedly, Qiu Li came just a short while after he arrived at the teahouse.

It was obvious that Qiu Li looked a little unhappy.

Yu Zhongdou: "Brother Qiu, here."

After Qiu Li sat down and took a sip of tea, Yu Zhongdou said, "Brother Qiu, who made you unhappy? Did I cause you trouble? I'm sorry, I didn't know your uncle's winery had so many rules. I did go there a little too often..."

Before Yu Zhongdou could finish, Qiu Li interrupted him: "It has nothing to do with you. It's about the monster in the town."

"Oh, you mean the monster from last night? I heard about it too. But it happened in the west yesterday, so it has nothing to do with you in the east. Besides," Yu Zhongdou said, "don't we still have a guard team? What's there to worry about? I heard that the monster wasn't very powerful, it only injured a few people and then ran away."

Qiu Li sneered and said, "You don't really think that the guards in the town are any good, do you?"

Yu Zhongdou rubbed his nose and said, "No matter what, they are all government officials. They have to live here too. Other things can be jokes, but this kind of thing can't be joked about, right?"

"Then tell me, Lanwa Town has a city wall and a guard team, so how did the monster get in yesterday?"

Yu Zhongdou pretended to be frightened and asked quickly, "Brother Qiu, what do you mean by that? Don't scare me, I'm going to follow you in the future. If this town is not safe, then... where else in the world is safe? I just want to find a place to live a good life, get married, have children, and live a stable life."

"Who doesn't think so? But in the eyes of some people, people are divided into different classes. If you want to live a normal life, you have to learn to be ruthless. Only with stepping stones can you climb up and live the life you want."

When Qiu Li said this, it was unclear whether he was really speaking to Yu Zhongdou or to himself.

Yu Zhongdou felt that Qiu Li’s mind was not here at all.

But it doesn't matter. He came here to get information. It doesn't matter where Qiu Li's mind is. As long as he can find out the information, it's fine.

The two chatted casually for a while, and Qiu Li gave him a task.

Yu Zhongdou immediately patted his chest and promised that he would do a great job on this matter.
