22: Chapter 22 Mountain God, Zhang Qianlu requests that Li Youfu be killed!

"...That's writing!"

The Old Clan Leader slapped his grandson on the forehead, "You stupid dog boy, that's writing! It's characters!"

"Grandpa, grandpa, I was wrong, I shouldn't have said it was black poop... I was wrong!"

Seeing his own grandfather glare with his old eyes and raise his hand again, Li Fusun quickly swallowed the rest of his words, focusing solely on begging for mercy.

He absolutely must not make grandpa angry.

Otherwise, a beating would be unavoidable.

The key was if his mother heard about it, he'd get another beating on top of that.

"Grandpa, calm down! So this is writing? How did it get into my heart?" He grabbed the Old Clan Leader's hand, leaning over to pat his back.

"Yes, yes, in the head, not the heart," Zhang Qianlü lay on the ground, panting heavily, "It's the Mountain Deity who imprinted the characters from the Enlightenment Primer into your minds using divine thought."

"You, you're exhausted like this, so say less," Li Fusun couldn't help but laugh seeing this.

Although his formal name, Füsun, was a dog's name, and his nickname was also Dog Boy, at this moment, he felt Zhang Qianlü was more like a dog.

Because every now and then, this guy would lie on the ground like this, sticking out his tongue and panting.

"I, I didn't expect digging ditches to be this tiring!" Zhang Qianlü rolled over and got up, "It's too exhausting."

The two were about the same age and had become familiar in half a day.

He no longer reacted much to Li Fusun calling him a dog.

Dog it is then, he really didn't have the energy to argue.

"In the county town, everyone praised me for being strong and robust. How come when I get here and do a bit of work, I'm so tired?" He was utterly puzzled and confused by this.

Even having the Enlightenment Primer stuffed into his mind by the Mountain Deity didn't bother him as much as this.

He wanted to go practice martial arts.

How come when he got to the farmland, he felt like a weak scholar?

"Heh, Young Master, if farming the land was easy, would it be left to us peasants?"

The Old Clan Leader couldn't explain any profound principles, but he had these simple truths.

"Look at you, you're also stubborn... competitive. You couldn't handle the farm work yesterday, how dare you come with us today to dig irrigation ditches?"

This is even harder work.

"Otherwise, why do people die from exhaustion every year when the court conscripts corvée labor?"

As he spoke, he raised his hand and slapped his grandson heavily on the shoulder, "Quick, go help Young Master Zhang up."

This brat has no sense of awareness!

"No, no, don't call me Young Master Zhang, call me Qianlü," Zhang Qianlü waved his hand, "Clan Leader, no need to help me up, I'll get up myself after lying here a while."

"That won't do, the ground is dirty," The Clan Leader gave his still-foolishly-standing grandson another slap, "Quick, go help your brother Qianlü up!"

Although Li Fusun was a bit slow, he wasn't stupid.

He hurried over and, with one pull, yanked Zhang Qianlü up from the ground.

"You, how are you so strong?" Zhang Qianlü, hauled up, was a bit stunned, "You look shorter and less robust than me, yet you have such great strength!"

"Dog Boy has been working since he was little, of course he's strong. It's because he didn't eat well that he didn't grow tall or robust."

Although the Old Clan Leader was thinking of winning over Zhang Qianlü, he was also protective of his own. Hearing the other say this, he couldn't help but add, "When our days get better, my boy is still growing!"

"Exactly, still growing!" Li Fusun shouted.

He didn't understand much else, but tall guys found wives more easily!

At this time, the clansmen still working were getting a bit impatient.

Just now, suddenly having many things appear in their minds had given them a fright.

They were just about to ask the Old Clan Leader what was going on when Li Fusun yelled out first and got slapped by the Old Clan Leader.

Everyone then didn't dare make a sound, all pricking up their ears to listen.

Hearing it was writing, many were still confused.

Writing?

What kind of thing is writing?

Mosquitoes? Writing?

"It doesn't look like mosquitoes to me, more like charcoal. I heard the charcoal the nobles burn has patterns," a big sister-in-law whispered to her man.

Li Feiyu nearby held back his laughter.

He actually knew what writing was, but he didn't dare say.

This Sister-in-Lin next to him could hold down a fat pig with one hand, and crucially, her Martial Skills were excellent. In the whole clan, apart from his elder brother Li Feipeng, no one could beat her.

Li Feiyu was afraid if he opened his mouth and didn't say it right, she might think he was mocking her and then press him to the ground for a beating.

The sister-in-law would definitely hold back, he wouldn't get injured, but it would be very embarrassing.

"Clan Leader, what's going on?" Li Feiyu called out loudly, "Young Master Zhang, you said these characters are from the Enlightenment Primer? Does that mean the Mountain Deity is giving us literacy education?"

"Not exactly, well, sort of," Zhang Qianlü paused, "The characters from the book are all here, but you still have to learn to read them, write them, and understand their meanings with me."

"So that's how it is," Li Feiyu said, "No wonder I looked for a long time and didn't recognize any."

"Why did the Mountain Deity put the characters into our heads?" someone asked curiously.

"To make literacy education easier," Zhang Qianlü said offhandedly.

Especially for adults, they learn very quickly this way.

Without this happening, being able to learn and remember three characters a day would be considered fast.

With this happening, they could learn at least ten characters a day.

"The Mountain Deity's consideration is truly thorough," the Old Clan Leader couldn't help but smile, "Not only thinking of having us read and write, but also thinking of how we can learn quickly and well."

"...Yes," Zhang Qianlü's expression was somewhat strange.

This Mountain Deity was too considerate.

He didn't seem like an evil god.

On the contrary, some people looked human but had malicious hearts.

"Clan Leader, why are we included in this literacy education?" Old Loach looked around, scratching his head, "Isn't it just for the children?"

Why did it look to him like men, women, old, and young all got a share?

"What, you don't want it?"

A voice exploded in everyone's ears, "Not wanting it isn't an option. No matter who you are, you must all study and practice martial arts for me!"

"My believers must not only learn, but learn well. If you don't learn well, I won't forgive you!"

Feng Yifan spoke these words, thinking to himself, I've already boasted so much. If you dare embarrass me, I'll make you have nightmares every night!

Seeing these people's acceptance was decent, he simply tossed down the Martial Arts Cultivation Method and martial techniques as well.

Since these people were all his believers, projecting through his divine position consumed minimal divine power.

If the characters from the Enlightenment Primer could be tossed, these things could definitely be tossed too.

No matter what, just toss them down first, and everyone can learn slowly later.

Feng Yifan tossed them decisively, while the Li Clan people here were dumbfounded.

Hearing the Mountain Deity's words, the Li clansmen were all stunned for a moment, looking at each other, not knowing how to react.

Even the quickest-reacting Old Clan Leader hadn't yet opened his mouth to utter flattering words.

Suddenly, another heavenly gift package descended!

Thump! Thud!

Instantly, no one knew who started it, but the people of the Li Clan knelt down one after another.

"Thank you, Mountain Deity!"

...

Mountain Top.

Small Temple.

Feng Yifan looked up.

Clusters of merit golden light were falling onto him.

Why is it giving more again?

"Me, an evil god, getting so much merit golden light, isn't that a bit off-brand?" This thought had just risen when he heard someone hoping he would do something related to an evil god's proper business.

...

"Mountain Deity above!"

"Your humble servant Zhang Qianlü requests to kill Li Youfu!"

"I beg the Mountain Deity to lend me your strength!"

Zhang Qianlü knelt on one knee and said loudly.
