17. Chapter XVII
Of course, the main reason is also because the village chief has maintained him many times, so that the villagers can accept him so quickly, so in addition to saying goodbye to the village chief this time, he also wants to thank Duan Zhixin for his care.
I saw Duan Qishan quickly come to the place where Duan Zhixin's family lived, stood still in front of the two red lacquered doors, raised his hand and knocked on the door, and quietly waited for the people inside to open the door.
This section of the house was built on the road leading to the market, and the roads on both sides were very wide, and the village chief's family originally built the road, just to facilitate their own walking.
But later, seeing that the villagers had to pass in front of his house every time they went to the market, the old village chief thought about it and opened up the road wider by the way, so that it was convenient for the villagers to drive ox carts and donkey carts to pass.
When the villagers saw that the old village chief didn't say a word, they all went home to carry their tools, and also came to the side of the road, and followed the old village chief's family to work hard.
There are many people and great strength, and in a few days, they can build a smooth road.
Over the years, because of this road, the relationship between the collar has become closer, and over time, every family has followed this main road to build the road to the door of their house, so the traffic in the village has been smooth.
It is precisely because of this that although Duanjiacun looks small, it is well planned.
Duan Qishan looked at the rice fields in the distance, and the farmers in the village, listening to the roosters and dogs, and his heart became more and more calm.
He didn't know what kind of life he would live after going to the Immortal Cultivation Realm?
But if you want to come to such a peaceful and peaceful life, you can't live it!
And just then, the door suddenly opened.
Duan Qishan was not surprised at all, his ears were extremely sharp, and he had already heard footsteps when the man walked out of the hall inside.
When the other party opened the door, Duan Qishan had already turned around, arched his hand towards him, and said, "Hello village chief." ”
The person who came was the village chief of this village, Duan Zhixin, he saw that the person who knocked on the door was actually Duan Qishan, and at this moment his face was also solemn, knowing that Duan Qishan must have something important to discuss this time, so he didn't say much, but directly opened the door, let Duan Qishan walk in, and then closed the door with his hand.
Duan Zhixin led Duan Qishan to the room, and at this moment, when facing Duan Qishan alone, the look on his face was a little more respectful.
After he led Duan Qishan to the hall, the old village chief Duan Wenli also appeared in the hall.
When he saw that it was Duan Qishan, he hurriedly took a few steps forward, bowed down, and said, "General Duan." ”
Duan Qishan was a little helpless, but every time he came to the village chief's house, he would encounter such a situation, and he couldn't persuade him, and after one or two times, he rarely came.
But this time, there is indeed something important to tell Duan Wenli, so he can only raise his hand and help him slightly, at this time, if Duan Wenli is not allowed to finish this ceremony respectfully, Duan Wenli, who is stubborn, will inevitably repeat it over and over again until he is satisfied.
Duan Qishan had suffered his loss, so he had to let him finish his salute before he said, "Get up." ”
Duan Wenli got up respectfully, looked up at Duan Qishan, and asked suspiciously, "I don't know why General Duan came here?" ”
Yes, in this village, there are people who know Duan Qishan's true identity, that is, the two in front of him, the old village chief Duan Wenli and the young village chief Duan Zhixin.
Duan Qishan was fighting outside the country back then, and when he saw the war in the world and the people were struggling to make a living, he was a little worried about the safety of his hometown.
In the homeland, they are all members of the same family, as well as their own blood relatives, all live in that place, when the Great Qi Dynasty has not really been unified, even if it is located in a remote area, but in the end the mountains and rivers are beautiful, and occasionally there will be rebel armies, come here to run rampant.
When Duan Qishan was a child, he met several groups of such people, and every time these people arrived, the village suffered heavy losses, and even several villagers lost their lives because of this, so that their families were ruined.
After he established his merits, when the emperor asked him what reward he needed in front of hundreds of civil and military officials, Duan Qishan was silent for a long time and said: "Please also ask the emperor to send troops to defend my hometown clansmen, so that I can go into battle in front to kill the enemy, and fight with the enemy, and I can completely settle down." ”
When the emperor heard this, he was greatly surprised, not only that, but even the civil and military officials.
At that time, the emperor had a close relationship with him, and he valued him very much at that time, so he naturally agreed, and arranged for the secret guards to protect the village.
Sure enough, in the more than ten years since he left his hometown, several groups of rebel troops have also appeared in the village, but fortunately, the people sent by the emperor can appear in time every time to solve the crisis and reduce the damage of the villagers in the village.
At that time, Duan Wenli, as the head of a village and the descendant of the entire family, naturally had to worry about many more things than ordinary villagers.
At first, he thought that someone was helping him by accident, but after a few times, he also realized that someone must be protecting their village in secret.
After thinking about it, somehow, he remembered that many years ago, Duan Qishan, the eight-year-old son of Orion, left home with his luggage, although since then, there has been no news and he has never returned.
But at the beginning, he also grew up watching Duan Qishan, and knew his temperament very well, if there was really such a person who was protecting the village, it could only be Duan Qishan, who was born with divine power and was a decent person.
Sure enough, after one of his inquiries, he got a reply from those people.
And Duan Wenli also kept this matter in mind, occasionally going to the bazaar, when he met outsiders, he would also inquire about the movements of the outside world, most of the time, he was asking if there was a person with the surname Duan, and these outsiders, every time they said this surname, they would invariably mention General Duan.
It is said that General Duan was born with divine power and extraordinary bravery, and established great military exploits for the Great Qi Dynasty.
Duan Wenli understood at that time that this world-famous General Duan was Duan Qishan, who had been away from home for more than ten years in their village and had never returned.
He originally thought that Duan Qishan would never come back in his life, so he kept this matter in his heart, kept this kindness in his heart, and only told his family, but not even the people in the village.
However, he didn't expect Duan Qishan to come back a few years later.
Duan Wenli remembered his love, so he took more care of him on weekdays, which is also one of the reasons why Duan Qishan returned to the village after leaving the village for more than 20 years and was still not excluded by the name of the village, and even gradually gained a foothold and gained good popularity in the village.
Moreover, Duan Qishan's beautiful daughter-in-law, Yu'er, gave birth to two little monkeys, which also happened in front of the public, and everyone was very impressed by it.
Finally, it was also Duan Wenli's son, and Duan sent a letter to calm the matter.
Therefore, Duan Qishan is respectful and grateful to Duan Wenli, he is leaving the village to go to the immortal cultivation realm this time, his parents died early, and relatives are not familiar with each other, so they don't have much contact, in the village, his only concern is only the old village chief Duan Wenli.
So, he said: "Village Chief, I have decided to leave the village for a while, and I don't know when I will come back when I go out this time, so I have come here to say goodbye to you." Don't worry, I have settled down the brothers and friends I know, and take more care of Duanjia Village, if anything happens in Duanjia Village, you just need to take my token and go to seek their help, and my brothers will see my feelings and help the village tide over the difficulties. ”
With that, he took a token from his waist and handed it over.
The material of this token is not outstanding, because the soldiers who are in the army engrave their names and dates of birth on the wooden plaques according to the specifications, which is considered an identity certificate.
But the most important thing is to facilitate the collection of the body of the dead soldier after the battle, remember who this person is, and facilitate the registration of death.
This token has been worn by Duan Qishan since the day of the army.
It's just that it never came in handy, because no matter what kind of battles he encountered on the battlefield, and how badly he was injured, he was lucky to survive in the end.
Over time, as his military exploits became bigger and bigger, and his reputation in the army became higher and higher, this token became a token and credential for him.
Duan Qishan knew that he had gone to the Immortal Cultivation Realm this time, and the chance of coming back alive must be very low, not to mention that he had been poisoned by a Gu poison that no one could solve, and he would not have a few years to live.
Let's just say that after going to the immortal cultivation world, you will inevitably encounter countless dangers, and you may lose your life one day.
Moreover, this trip is just the road to the immortal cultivation realm, it is so rugged and dangerous, if you want to come back in the future, it must be difficult, and it will take a lot of effort to go back and forth, so he estimates that there is no possibility of returning to the village.
Then, this token, put on him, will not be of much use.
However, if you leave the token in the village, it can also be used as a shelter to bless the safety of your hometown.
After all, Duanjia Village is the place where he was born and raised, and it is the homeland that he misses in his heart, and he also hopes that the people in the village can live a better life.
For the old village chief Duan Wenli's personality, he is extremely relieved.
Duan Wenli has been educated by Confucianism since he was a child, and he has educated his children and grandchildren very well, and the current village chief Duan Zhixin does not look like a mix, this family is not bad, and he will not take his token to do evil.
Duan Wenli knew the preciousness of this token, but he also knew that Duan Qishan's words were true, so he could only accept the token with a trembling hand, and asked him with a concerned face: "Where are you going this time?" You're so old now, and you have two more children, how can you run away? ”
