Li Erhu did not notice Lin Zhongtian's departure and continued chattering.

Until a certain moment, Li Erhu seemed to remember something, paused, and spoke.

"They all said that it's a good thing for my sister to marry the Mountain God, and I shouldn't be sad. You are also the Mountain God's favorite. Can you tell me that what they said is true?"

As he spoke, Li Erhu turned his head and looked at the windowsill, but at this moment the windowsill was empty.

Li Erhu laughed at himself and was about to turn around when he suddenly noticed some traces on the windowsill.

Li Erhu's eyes moved slightly, and he stood up as if possessed by a ghost and leaned towards the windowsill.

I saw a line of clear small characters engraved on the stone windowsill:

"Tonight at midnight, come to see me at the mountain temple."

“This… this is…”

Li Erhu was stunned. He knew that the little squirrel was very smart, but he didn't expect that it could actually read.

Is this really a spirit?

Li Erhu suppressed his inner shock and looked at the handwriting on the windowsill carefully, reading it over and over again.

"The hour of Hai... The hour of Hai..."

Li Erhu muttered to himself.

Originally, the villagers planned to pick an auspicious day to send his sister into the mountains.

You can tell the temple keeper that the mountain god has said that tomorrow is a good day.

Therefore, tonight, the villagers will send his sister to the mountain god temple, have her stay there for one night, and the next day she will be sent into the mountain in an eight-man sedan chair to marry the mountain god.

By this calculation, my sister should be staying at the mountain temple at 11 p.m. tonight.

What exactly did the little squirrel want to do by asking him to go to the mountain temple at this time?

Li Erhu was puzzled, but he wanted to go and take a look no matter what.

…

…

That night, Li Erhu, lying in bed, tossed and turned, feeling every second was like an eternity.

Finally, he couldn't suppress his inner impulse, so he got up early, quietly walked out of the room, and headed towards the mountain temple.

On the eaves behind him, a little squirrel stood there quietly, looking at Li Erhu's back with a hint of smile in its eyes.

As expected, he is a young man, he just can't keep his temper...

"Well, if that's the case, I'll start taking action in advance."

Lin Zhongtian thought so in his mind, then jumped up and disappeared into the night.

The hour of Hai corresponds to 21:00 to 23:00 in modern time. This is the late night when everyone is asleep, so it is also called the time of reckoning.

At this time of year in the past, the villagers of Qiugang Village would have gone to bed.

But tonight, besides Li Erhu, there was another person who couldn't sleep, and that was Fu Youzhi, the person who planned all this.

The place where Fu Youzhi lives was built by the villagers specifically for the temple priest. It is very close to the mountain god temple, less than 30 meters away.

Because of this, after Li Erhu's sister was sent to the mountain temple by the villagers, Fu Youzhi was the last one to leave. No one knew the situation in the mountain temple better than him.

He felt a little itchy when he thought of a beautiful woman who was alone in the deserted temple next door.

However, for the sake of his future sexual happiness, Fu Youzhi decided to endure it for the time being.

After all, the villagers will have to carry the beauty into the mountains in a sedan chair carried by eight people tomorrow morning.

If we take action tonight, it will be easy to detect the clues.

According to Fu Youzhi's plan, after sending the beauty into the mountains tomorrow, he will dismiss the villagers, let the beauty stay in the sedan chair, and pretend to talk to the mountain god alone, and then naturally let the mountain god possess himself and sleep in the bridal chamber with the beauty.

By then, the other party will still let you do whatever you want.

As for afterwards, he could just make up a reason and ask the mountain god to give the beauty to him.

Anyway, these villagers blindly worship the mountain god, and as the priest of the mountain god's temple, they will believe whatever I say.

Thinking of this, Fu Youzhi couldn't help but smile.

Suddenly, there was a noise outside the door.

Fu Youzhi frowned slightly and looked up, only to see that the door of the room opened a crack silently and a black shadow suddenly rushed in from the crack.

"What?!"

Fu Youzhi's eyes widened and cold sweat instantly broke out on his forehead.

He quickly stood up from the bed and tried to grab the wooden stick at the head of the bed.

At this moment, the black shadow that rushed into the room jumped onto his bed, hit him hard on the lower abdomen, then jumped onto the windowsill and escaped through the gap in the window.

This is a hollow wooden window embedded in the wall. It does not have the window paper seen in movies and TV dramas, let alone glass. It only relies on the hollow part for light and ventilation, so the black shadow easily got out.

With the help of the moonlight outside the window, Fu Youzhi finally saw the appearance of the black shadow clearly.

It was a little black and brown squirrel.

"I was wondering what it was, it turned out to be a rat with a big tail..."

Fu Youzhi breathed a sigh of relief, put down the wooden stick he had just picked up, and lay down on the bed again.

But this time, he felt a little upset for some reason, and the blood in his body kept surging.

After lying down for a while, Fu Youzhi couldn't help but sit up.

"What's going on?"

Fu Youzhi clenched his teeth, veins on his forehead were exposed, and his eyes were bloodshot.

The moonlight shone through the gap in the window onto his face, making it look particularly hideous.

In his mind, he would still unconsciously recall the beautiful scene of the beauty alone in the mountain temple, and how he would bully the beauty if he rushed over there.

After enduring for a while, Fu Youzhi still couldn't bear it anymore, and he gritted his teeth and stood up from the **.

Although his mind told him that violating the beauty tonight would most likely be discovered by the villagers, with lust running rampant in his mind, he still chose to succumb to the control of desire.

"It doesn't matter. I'm the priest of the mountain temple. They will believe whatever I say."

Fu Youzhi talked to himself as he opened the door and walked towards the mountain temple.

At the same time, Li Erhu had quietly arrived outside the mountain temple.

At this moment, he was hiding behind a tree, looking at the sedan chair parked outside the mountain temple with complicated eyes.

If nothing changes tonight, then tomorrow morning, my sister will ride on a sedan chair and be carried into the mountains by the villagers to marry the mountain god.

This is naturally something Li Erhu doesn't want to see.

But there was nothing he could do, because the temple keeper, the villagers, and her mother had all reached a consensus on the matter, and even his sister herself had accepted her fate.

In this situation, Li Erhu had all the courage and strength but could only watch things happen helplessly.

Because of this, he placed all his hopes on the little squirrel.

With a nervous mood, Li Erhu quietly waited for the arrival of the hour of Hai.

Suddenly, Li Erhu frowned and keenly caught the sound of footsteps not far behind him.

Someone is coming!

And it came from behind him.

The tree in front of him could no longer hide his figure. Li Erhu's heart tightened. He swept his eyes around and soon fell on the sedan chair outside the mountain temple.

A minute later, Fu Youzhi appeared on the road with red eyes and disheveled clothes.

Looking at the mountain temple just ahead, he couldn't help but reveal a smug smile on his face.

"My beauty, don't blame me, blame that damn squirrel!"

Fu Youzhi muttered to himself as he undressed and walked towards the mountain temple.

At this moment, the sedan chair parked at the temple gate suddenly made a strange noise.

Fu Youzhi, who was walking towards the mountain temple, paused and slowly turned to look at the sedan chair.

The night wind blew gently, lifting a corner of the sedan chair's curtain, revealing a curled-up figure inside.

Fu Youzhi's smile widened as he turned and walked towards the bridal sedan.

"The Li family girl is in a good mood. She actually slept here in the middle of the night!"

Well, it's better to have a good thing in this sedan chair than in that deserted temple.

Without hesitation, Fu Youzhi walked quickly to the bridal sedan with a smirk on his face and opened the curtain of the sedan.

But unlike what he imagined, the person hiding in the sedan was not the timid beautiful bride, but a face full of anger and a fist that kept getting bigger in front of his eyes.

"Bang!"

"ah--"

A miserable cry of pain pierced the night sky, completely breaking the silence of the village.
