The two of them stood up and walked over to the other side, and then stood in front of the old men and listened to the old man talking.

I only heard him talk about how many thrilling things he had done in the village when he was young, such as slaughtering and roasting the chickens of the eldest lady next door, and tying the boys of which family to the branches, and hearing the mayor and the old ghost have funny smiles.

"Hey, I said, this person, do you think he is so old that he can resist the beating?" said the old ghost.

"What are you going to do? We're here to inquire about things, don't you get me into trouble!" said the mayor to him.

"Hehe, I just saw that he was too arrogant, so I couldn't help it!"

"Do you think you're still young and vigorous, stay with me, I'll ask him!"

"I bet he won't take you seriously!" the old ghost said with a smile.

"Of course I have a way!"

He stepped over to the man and patted him lightly on the shoulder.

The man was still talking to the old man below, when he was suddenly patted and turned to look at the visitor.

When he saw the mayor's dress, he was stunned for a moment, and then turned around and looked at the mayor seriously

"Who are you?" he said arrogantly.

But he thought to himself, this man looked like he was from the city, right? These people are rich people, what do they want to do?

"I'm from the city, I want to ask you something, I see you talking here and think you're a powerful person, you must know a lot of things.

Being praised like this, the old man was immediately happy, and he said proudly: "Then you are right, I am the boss of this village, no one is as capable as me, what do you want to inquire?"

"Can we go somewhere else?" said the mayor with a smile.

"It's okay to say yes, but... I'm not going to ask people for nothing!" he laughed slyly.

The old ghost wanted to go up and beat him when he saw him, but was stopped by the mayor's look.

He smiled and took out his wallet from his coat pocket, then pulled out a hundred-dollar bill and dangled it in front of him!

"Look, this thing is a good thing, isn't it? If you know a lot of things, how about giving you a question?"

When the old man heard this, he immediately smiled, he loved this thing most in his life, but he didn't expect the people in the city to be generous.

"Okay, let's go somewhere else, or don't you go to my house?"

"Good!" the mayor nodded, and followed him to their house with the old ghost.

There is no one in their family, only himself, it is also a low thatched house, although this is a remote village, but the people here are basically children in the city, so they have built new houses for their parents here, it seems that this person is not doing well, even the houses are very old-fashioned!

"Come on, come on, come in and sit, I'll pour you water!"

"No need, we're just asking about something!" The mayor looked around, looking at the appearance of this family with four walls, he couldn't help but feel a little sad, maybe he was not qualified to be the mayor, and there were still many old people in this countryside who were not doing well.

After I go back this time, I will let people put the reconstruction of the new countryside here, and I can't let the poor place stay poor!

"Okay, okay, then let's talk about it, you inquire about things, a hundred yuan for a question!" the old man continued to confirm.

"You're really expensive!" said the old ghost dissatisfied.

"Well, it's all right, as long as the questions he answers are valuable, isn't it worth the money?" said the mayor, waving his hand.

The man took out a small notebook, and prepared it very earnestly with a pencil that had been half cut off.

"Yo, can you write?" the old ghost was surprised.

"A little bit, accounting, I didn't go to school, but someone taught me when I was a kid!" he said with a grin.

"I didn't expect someone to teach you how to read!" the old ghost smiled.

"Hehe, it's a matter of childhood, you ask!"

"Well, then let me ask you, do you know the only family in the east side of the village, that is, outside the village, when you were young, you should have an old lady and a little girl in your hand!" the mayor began to ask.

But as soon as he asked this question, the old man's eyes were visibly stunned, and he looked at the mayor with some hesitation.

However, the mayor and the old ghost instantly became happy when they saw his eyes, he had mood swings, did he really know? It seemed that there was hope.

"What do you ask that house for, it's long gone!" he visibly displeased.

"You know that, right?"

"That's a problem, too!" he said, looking down and jotting it down.

"Say it!" the old ghost couldn't wait.

"I know, don't you think it's strange that I can write?

For him, the two people opposite were instantly stunned, they felt as if everything was right in front of their eyes, but they didn't expect the person they found to be so close to Gillian at the beginning!

"What you say is true, do you really know each other?" said the mayor, with some excitement.

The old ghost was also very excited, but when he saw his pen and paper, he reminded the mayor: "You better ask the main question, don't waste money on this kind of problem."

The mayor looked at him, then fixed his mind and said, "Do you know if that girl came back when she was in her twenties?"

"I can send you a question!" the man said solemnly, looking at the mayor's anxious and happy look.

"I actually had a good relationship with her when I was a child, I was a gangster in the village at that time, because I had no father and no mother, and I was always left to fend for myself, so I always did some things like stealing chickens and touching dogs, of course, including bullying children, who was raised by my father and mother well, I bullied her, and I got angry when I looked at it.

The girl of that family at that time, she ...... It's supposed to be called Gillian, right?"

"Yes, it's Gillian!" the mayor shouted excitedly.

They didn't say anything, he said it himself, so that's accurate.

"Gillian didn't have a father like me at the time, but her grandmother was very good to her, and she had to go to school, you have to know what kind of children were able to go to school at that time, they were all happy children, so I was angry, I wanted to bully her! At the beginning, she was always bullied by me and cried, but after a while, she suddenly became very powerful, and she could knock me down at once! At that time, I was stunned, you know? I was beaten by a little girl all at once, do I want my face to be gone?" he looked back on when he recalled the events of that year, as if it was still happening in front of him.

"And then?" the mayor asked.

"That's another question!" he scribbled down on the paper again, causing the old ghost to roll his eyes.

Then he raised his head and continued: "Then I didn't give up, I thought that I must defeat her, I can't lose face in front of those children, but how can I fight and beat her, listening to the children next to me cheering for her, I am really angry!"

Later, when I really couldn't move, she stretched out her hand to me and said with a gentle smile: "Get up, we will all be friends in the future, don't fight around!"

"Do you know? Gillian was a very beautiful girl at that time, and I teased her mostly because she was beautiful, so when she smiled at me like that, I thought she was like a fairy painting pasted on the wall during the New Year!"

"Then you ......"

The mayor was about to say something, but the old ghost suddenly grabbed him and motioned him not to ask questions, because now he felt that this person would continue to talk even if he didn't ask, and if he asked, he reminded him.

"Later, the moment I reached out and was pulled up by her, I decided that I would never bully her again, and I would protect her, and if I could, I would marry her when I grew up!"

Seeing his hopeful look, the corners of the mayor's mouth twitched, he didn't expect to meet his rival here.

"Do you want to marry her like this?

"Do you think I want to do that?" the old man suddenly became angry.

"After I reconciled with Gillian, Gillian would teach me to write every day and teach me what I learned in school, at that time I was full of hope for life, I was positive every day, I felt that everything was better, and I no longer went to steal chickens and dogs, and I no longer bullied people, I think that one day I can find a good job like those children who go to school, go to the city to make money, make a lot of money to make my life better, and then give Gillian the best life!"

"It's just that Gillian was conscripted into the army when she was sixteen years old, because her kung fu is very powerful, she was personally selected by the province, and when she left that day, I cried and chased the car that carried her, and she stuck her head out of the window and shouted at me: "After she has passed the military training period, she will write to me, let me study hard here, practice well, because at that time she also taught me kung fu, saying that one day I can also enter the army!"

"After hearing her words, I felt very relieved, I thought that Gillian and I would not be separated, and I would one day go to her unit, train with her, and be an ideal and ambitious person together!"

When he reminisced about their childhood, his whole face was filled with happiness, as if his happiness had really come to his side.
