Chapter 5 The Village Chief

The village chief asked the two of them sharply, what were they going to do when they came to someone else's house at night?

Gou Er and Mao Dan still wanted to quibble, but the surrounding villagers didn't give them this chance.

The aunt of the Li family snorted and said, what can the two of them do, it is absolutely not good to see this. Could it be that they still expect them to come in the middle of the night to clean up the house for Li Jing's family? Don't laugh.

Immediately, the surrounding villagers immediately chimed in. Such words also caused whispers from the villagers.

The village chief saw that this had caused public anger.

asked Li Jing what to do with them. Li Jing thought to himself that if he said it was serious, the people in the village would inevitably feel that he was ruthless, and if he said it lightly, it would not achieve the effect of punishment, so he said that it was all up to the village chief's grandfather.

When the village chief heard this, he needed to come out on his own. There is no excuse at the moment, and the duty of the village chief is to deal with these things. It would be best if I didn't get involved with the government. If it spreads, the reputation of the village will be damaged. The unmarried girls in this village will be affected.

The village chief asked Gou Er and Mao Dan to fill in the courtyard of Li Jing's house, and asked them to go to the ancestral hall to kneel down and ask their ancestors for forgiveness. apologize to Li Jing. Even so, the matter has been revealed. There will be a next time, and it will not be lightly circumvented.

Gou Er and Mao Dan heard this, although kneeling in the ancestral hall was a bit heavy, but the others were not unacceptable. Immediately stopped chirping and shouting. Agreed with the village chief.

Of course, Mao Dan still has his own ideas, he dug up the iron box, and he can quietly come to get it when he has the opportunity in the future. There's got to be something good in there, what's that point?

At this time, it was already dawn, and the village chief looked at the sky. In this case, then the matter is so decided. It's not too late, what to do, there's nothing to do here. Let's go back to each other.

When the villagers heard this, it was indeed time to go to work. Immediately, some people began to leave, and several aunts also told Li Jing that they had time to take their younger brothers and sisters to her house to play. Li Jing hurriedly agreed. The rest of Uncle Zhang and the others looked at the messy home that was tossed. I had to clean up for Li Jing. Li Jing hurriedly stopped.

It's already a lot of trouble, so it's good to do this little thing yourself. Gou Er and Mao Dan also endured the pain and cleaned up Li Jing's things. Mao Dan pretended to walk to the edge of the pit with the tin box casually, covered the soil, and wrote down the location, waiting for the next time he came to take the tin box away. Uncle Zhang and the others watched after Gou Er and Mao Dan were cleaned up, and everyone went out together. Li Jing sent Uncle Zhang and others out.

Uncle, thank you very much today, if you didn't come, I don't know what to do. When Uncle Zhang heard this, he said, it's okay, if you have something, you can come to my house to find me, as long as the uncle can call the shots, the uncle will definitely make the decisions for you. You don't have to be burdened, when the old lady died, she asked me to take good care of your sisters, and today I was negligent in this matter. I'm sorry for the old lady if something happens.

Li Jing hurriedly said, everyone is okay now. No need for that. That Uncle Zhang, I'll go to see you another day, and I'll go back to the house today.

Uncle Zhang still disagreed, so he cleaned up the big pits and things for Li Jing at home, and there were still many small details that needed to be sorted out. Even if you say yes.

Li Jing went home and looked at the courtyard, and sighed in his heart.

Uncle Zhang looked at the two dogs and warned them, saying, if there is a next time, break your dog's legs.

When the two of them heard this, they felt that their legs were weak, and Uncle Zhang was the most ruthless one when he beat them just now. He immediately promised that he would not go again. Uncle Zhang looked at it, and he didn't know whether what they said was true or false, but he couldn't do anything about them. With a snort, he left with his sons.

Dog Er and Mao Dan also limped in the direction of home.

Li Jing came to the place where Mao Dan had just filled the pit. Just looking at the hairy egg's eyes, it was very wrong, and at first glance, I knew that there was nothing good. But now it's not in a hurry, I'm afraid it won't run away in my yard. was about to go in and ask Brother Bao and Ruo'er to get up, but saw that Brother Qian'er had already taken them out.

When Brother Bao saw Li Jing, he pounced on him and asked, "Sister, do you have anything wrong?" Looking at these worried eyes, Li Jing still felt a little happy in his heart. He said, my sister is fine, today it is Brother Qian'er who went to call Uncle Zhang to save us. Isn't Brother Qian'er very powerful?

When Brother Bao heard it, uh-huh, my brother is the most powerful.

Ruo'er said, I can also call Uncle Zhang, I can also be very powerful.

When Brother Qian'er heard this, he said, I don't know who fell asleep and never woke up. When I got up to eat, I had to lie in bed.

Ruo'er said loudly, it's not me, it's Brother Bao, it's Brother Bao.

When Brother Bao heard Ruo'er say him, he retorted, how can I have it, it's obviously whether you are good or not, and you still rely on me.

Watching a few small people playing, the unhappiness in my heart was a little less, and I immediately went into the kitchen to prepare breakfast. There are still a lot of things to do today, and there are still a lot of things to do after eating, and it gives me a headache to think about.

Steamed buns for breakfast, Li Jing boiled some porridge, and solved breakfast in this way. After cleaning up, Li Jing took his brother to the pit, and the two little ones didn't know where to play.

After finding a hoe, Li Jing began to dig. Brother Qian'er didn't understand why his sister did this, but he still didn't ask. Li Jing dug for a while, then tried to see that the hoe seemed to have touched something, immediately took out the hoe, and asked Brother Qian'er to dig the soil, and Brother Qian'er moved the soil to the other side, and saw an iron box. Brother Qian'er looked at his sister and said, Sister, there is an iron box here, Li Jing heard it, and hurriedly took out the iron box.

After returning to the house, Li Jing closed the door, and the god brother didn't understand why his sister was so careful, looking at the things in his sister's hand, it seemed to be related to this box. He had seen his grandmother holding this thing and looking at it all the time. But Grandma never opened it for him to see.

Li Jing put the iron box on the table, looked at the locked iron box, and looked at the lock cylinder, as if the lock cylinder had been seen somewhere. After thinking about it, Li Jing took all the keys to open the door at home. tried one by one, when Li Jing was about to lose confidence. With a click, the lock opened. Li Jing hadn't reacted yet, but Brother Qian'er said, sister, the lock is open. Won't you open it and take a look? Li Jing hurriedly came back to his senses and saw that it was really open. Who would know that the door key at home is open to this, and the key to the general treasure is not placed in a very private place? The old lady also understands that the most dangerous place is the safest. It's no wonder that it came out of the official family.

Li Jing opened the iron box and looked at it, and he was a little scared at the moment. There's not much in it either. But anyone with a little insight will see that it is all good things, but Li Jing can't touch it, this has been passed down in the Li family for several generations, and it can't be broken by himself. There are also a few general silver tickets in it, which the old lady prepared for Li Jing's children, for fear that something will happen to them. The old lady has good intentions.
