After the cannon fodder father and daughter married into the family, the whole family regretted it

After this little episode, the carriage sped up and soon arrived at a town.

"We are in Puliu Town ahead, Miss. Let's spend the night here."

"Yeah." Fang Nanzhi simply sat on the shaft of the carriage and found that there were many carriages lined up in front, waiting to enter the city.

Her eyes widened. "Is Puliu Town very rich?"

So many families have carriages?

In their county town, there aren't many people coming into the city during this time.

"I don't know." Yuan Bo said honestly.

Fang Nanzhi looked at the long queue and realized that she couldn't get in for the time being.

I might as well jump off the carriage, go to the front and join in the fun and ask around.

Some small vendors in the town were smart and ran out of the city gate to do business.

"Baozi, hot buns!"

"My dear, would you like some sesame cakes? With red bean paste filling?"

Fang Nanzhi bought two big meat buns and ate them together with Anmei.

"Boss, your buns have really thick fillings."

"Of course, my mother made it. My family has always been honest in business. Miss, are you going into town too? Why not buy two more? There are some waiting for you. If you get hungry later..."

The young man said positively.

Fang Nanzhi asked, "Boss, why is it so busy up front?"

The young man looked at her and asked in surprise, "You don't know?"

Fang Nanzhi gave him a simple smile and shook his head, saying, "I'm here to seek refuge with my relatives. This is my first time here."

The young man understood and introduced it to her enthusiastically.

"Miss, you've arrived at the right time. Our town is holding a ceremony to worship the mountain god these past two days. Not only will the people from all over the town come to watch, but even the gentlemen in the county town will come to watch the ceremony."

Fang Nanzhi became interested and bought ten more buns, packed them up, and asked more questions at the same time.

Puliu Town is backed by the continuous Puliu Mountains. Among the people nearby, there are ordinary hunters and herbalists, who are more numerous than in other places.

This place really relies on the mountains for its livelihood.

But going into the mountains often is bound to lead to accidents. There are many ferocious beasts and venomous snakes in the mountains.

Therefore, every year local people offer sacrifices to the mountain god and pray for peace.

The mountain god is very powerful. Not only hunters and villagers trust it, but even the masters of wealthy families believe in it and always come to worship it.

The local mountain god, named "Yeniao", is said to have existed for hundreds of years.

Fang Nanzhi was very interested. She seemed to have heard of the bird somewhere before.

She then went to talk to some of the ladies and maids in line.

She is young, outgoing, and has nothing to do while waiting in line, so most people are willing to chat with her.

"Yes! My master has organized several hunting teams and goes into the mountains every year to pray for safety."

"The mountain god not only brings peace, but also prays for children. My cousin married into the mountains and often worshipped the mountain god. In two years, she gave birth to three sons. I've been married for three years and still have no children, so I came to pray."

Fang Nanzhi glanced at the woman who was talking. She was wearing a cotton coat and had accessories, so she should come from a decent family.

But he was thin and his face was a little too pale.

She was curious: "Haven't you seen a doctor?"

"I've been examined and the doctor prescribed some medicine. I need to recuperate, but recuperation isn't always good. I think I can take the medicine and worship the mountain god at the same time."

There was hope in the lady's eyes.

Fang Nanzhi praised her: "You are so wise. Make more preparations. After you pay your respects to the mountain god, you can go to the pharmacy and follow the doctor's advice."

The lady thought she was sweet and treated her to some snacks.

Fang Nanzhi was not a polite person. He ate two pieces of snacks and strolled to the front again.

"I'm an old man. I'm in town selling melons. They're muskmelons, grown at home. Miss, would you like to try some?"

Fang Nanzhi touched his stomach and felt a little full.

But you can buy one and eat it later.

"Grandpa, your family grows melons, do you also grow watermelons?"

"I've heard watermelons are rare, only eaten by the rich. I don't know how to grow them. But I heard there's a guy in Musha Village who knows how to grow watermelons. He's so good at it that he even became an official."

The old man looked envious and regretful.

Why doesn't the nobleman like melons? If he did, perhaps he could become an official.

Fang Nanzhi choked, but still tried to restore his father's reputation.

"Then you heard wrong. My second uncle's grandson's brother-in-law's uncle is from Mushan Village. He said that the ninth-rank official is very powerful."

"He invented the curved plow, and also the new wheat seeds..."

Not only did the old man listen with great interest, but the people around him also gathered around unconsciously.

"He's a powerful man. He deserves to be an official. An agricultural official is a good choice. We ordinary people's officials should focus on farming."

"We have new wheat seeds here, but it's not easy to grow wheat on the mountainous land where I live, and the harvest wouldn't be good even if I did."

Everyone was talking at once, and Fang Nanzhi listened for a long time until An Mei pulled her away.

It was their turn and by the time they had completely entered the town, it was already dark.

Yuan Bo first found an inn and booked two rooms, one for him and one for the young lady and Anmei.

Fang Nanzhi ordered a pot of tea and sat in the lobby looking outside.

There are many families hanging lanterns in the town. The sounds of children playing and drinkers chatting blend together to form a world of red dust.

Fang Nanzhi drank two pots of water in a row. The waiter gently advised: "Miss, if you like our tea, we can pack some for you. Be careful not to drink too much tea at once, or you may not be able to sleep."

In fact, what he wanted to say was, I'll be able to hold on.

Fang Nanzhi burped. She was just thirsty because she talked too much.

He waved his hand and let the waiter go down.

After Uncle Yuan had parked the carriage, he came over and ordered three dishes, but no staple food, since they had bought buns earlier.

Fang Nanzhi didn't eat a single bite, as he really couldn't eat any more.

She listened to the discussions around her, mountain god.

Tomorrow morning, the mountain god will parade through the streets and is said to be able to give some religious instructions.

Every year, the mountain people work according to the decree and always harvest a lot.

Fang Nanzhi couldn't help but wonder, could it be that the mountain god really existed? Otherwise, how could he issue a decree?

She decided to stay here for two days and take a look.

Yuan Bo and the others had no objection, as they had no destination for this trip.
