Chapter 12: The Little Rich Man

Unconsciously, Tang Xu has lived here for more than half a year, and every day in addition to symbolic work, he wanders around the village, but it can't be called idleness, and the villagers come to Tang Xu for all trivial things. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"That's all there is to being a village chief." On this day, he went to the He family in the south to deal with a property dispute, and the He family also rewarded him with fifty yuan for this.

"I guess I don't earn as much as I do as a village chief." Tang Xu weighed the money bag in his hand, he felt ashamed, but looking at other people's behavior, it seemed that he would be even more ashamed if he didn't accept this money. Tang Xu pouted, forget it, it's always a good thing to have money.

Any family that has a wedding and funeral also came to invite him to preside, and before leaving, he inevitably thanked him a little, and Tang Xu was also used to this kind of life of being loved and making money. But there is money to make but nowhere to spend, and the money that was barely stuffed into the fifth sister-in-law is secretly sent back again, which is really helpless. So, Tang Xu went to the county town every once in a while to exchange small money for big money, and then more for gold, at this time he knew that silver is not as wide as gold, and gold and silver ingots are used at every turn in the TV series in the novel, in fact, only the government uses them, and the people are broken and unformed at best, and many people have never earned two gold and silver at one time in their lives, so amazing, it turns out that he is so rich, Tang Xu sometimes thinks it is beautiful.

Today is Tang Xu's birthday, to be precise, it is the birthday of the lunar calendar, originally he never had a lunar birthday, even on a serious day, he just went to the cake room to buy himself a small cake to eat simply, but when he arrived in Liujia Village, someone opened it more than half a month in advance, and on the day of his birthday, the whole village was lit up, which was more lively than the New Year.

"It's just too much." Tang Xu was surrounded by a group of people and sat at the main table, he was a boy less than twenty years old, and he had to accept the congratulations and worship of the old and young in the village, Tang Xu's buttocks seemed to be pricked by needles and couldn't sit still at all, the whole person was ashamed and embarrassed, and he was in a dilemma.

"Big brother, this is also a little bit of everyone's heart, you will receive this love." Liu Lao Wu didn't feel that there was anything wrong, but felt that Tang Xu was a little too outlandish.

"Okay, but only once, if I do it again, I'll be angry." Tang Xu sat reluctantly, embarrassed to look up the whole time, and finally had a chance to take a breath and look up, and found that whose daughter discharged him, and quickly continued to pretend to look left and right inadvertently.

Finally, when the big guys let go of eating and drinking, no one paid attention to him, Tang Xu had to sneak out to take a breath, and he didn't go far when he was blocked by a young woman. Although he was blocked, it seemed that the other party was more restrained and shy.

"What are you going to do?" As soon as Tang Xu asked, the other party blushed.

"Mr. Tang, I..." The young woman looked to be about sixteen or seventeen years old.

"You don't need to call me Mr. Tang, just call me Tang Xu, do you have anything to do?" Tang Xu thought to himself that it was whose family needed mediation, so he came to find himself.

"Mr. Tang." The girl squirmed for a long time, but she couldn't say a word, and finally in a hurry, she turned around and left. Tang Xu thought that he had made her angry, and he was busy chasing after her to apologize, but found that she had left a handkerchief. When I opened it, it was a pair of mandarin ducks, and there was a Tang character on the corner of the handkerchief.

"This..." Although there are many outsiders in Liujia Village, there is no family surnamed Tang, which is clearly his own name. Looking at the pattern on the handkerchief again, Tang Xu shuddered.

"Not really." Tang Xu used to read some romance novels when he was bored, and there were also crossing, the basic routines were a nameless boy or girl in the real world, and after crossing, it became a person who loves flowers and flowers and drives a car, and the world's NO.1 thinks that the dog is on the hook level. This kind of Mary Suwen, Tang Xu has always felt very strange. But today, I suddenly felt the mood of the protagonists deeply, but I wasn't very happy, everything was so unreal, especially when I was liked by people who didn't feel it, or even had no impression, it didn't make people overflow with vanity, but they would just feel uncomfortable.

"If Liu Yi knew, would he think I was a stinky fart?" Tang Xu thought of Liu Yi, this kid wouldn't still be crying because his pet sheep was hit by a car and died, Tang Xu shrugged, if he went back one day, it would be a big deal to pay for it.

A few days later, Tang Xu met the girl who embroidered the mandarin duck handkerchief on the road again, in fact, Tang Xu also thought she was very cute, but she had never had a chance with the peach blossoms, and she didn't know how to express it for a while. I said something in a hurry, I am still young now, and I have to focus on my career, and if I am too anxious to be together, I may not be able to last long. The girl heard it in a fog, when Tang Xu rejected herself, although she was very sad, she still politely said goodbye. Tang Xu was still nervous, and within a few days, he heard that the girl from that family was engaged, and she was going to pass the door in the New Year.

“。。。” Tang Xu was a little confused, it turned out that the ancient girls didn't have so many constraints emotionally, and if they couldn't catch up, they would change people, and they were free and easy. He was a little disappointed, but after thinking about it, if he had agreed at that time, wouldn't he be the one who wants to get married now? Thinking about it carefully, it is still a bit too early for Tang Xu to start a family, and if he doesn't do it, he will really not end well. Thinking about it like this, Tang Xu was relieved, and prepared a gift to send to the man's house to congratulate.

"Hey." Recently, Tang Xu often sighed, not because he had encountered anything embarrassing, but because he had been living in Liujia Village, and he had nothing to do, so he was really bored. Liu Lao Wu is very happy, I wish Tang Xu had lived here all his life, and when he was free, he always liked to nag about how hard the days used to be, but now it is good, every family lives and works in peace and contentment, all of this is Tang Xu's credit. Tang Xu was very ashamed, although he was also happy for everyone, he always had no empathetic experience, and he was like a bystander from beginning to end.

"Maybe it's time for me to leave." Tang Xu said to himself. At the beginning, it was forced to stay in Liujia Village, but after a long time, I got along with everyone, especially Liu Laowu's family, Tang Xu really regarded them as his relatives. But if Tang Xu wants to explain his birth, old age, sickness and death here, he is a little unwilling. Let's go, after a night of fierce ideological struggle, Tang Xu finally decided to leave here and go to the outside world to see.

He started packing his luggage while everyone was sleeping, there was no such convenient thing as a suitcase, he could only find a piece of cloth to wrap, it was autumn now, it was not cold, Tang Xu didn't plan to bring winter clothes, but these winter clothes were made for him by Liu Wu's sister-in-law, and he was reluctant to throw them away without wearing them once, so he brought a set. After wrapping up clothes and a pair of new shoes and a few pairs of cloth socks, there was not much space left, Tang Xu picked out a few more single clothes and stuffed them in. A big bag of bulging bags, Tang Xu remembered that the person who carried the burden in the TV series also found a wooden stick to pick it, but there was no artistic conception in TV at all, not only was it dead and heavy, but it was always sliding down, and after tossing for a long time, Tang Xu decided to find a rope to tie it to his body steadily. In the second half of the night, he packed up his things, left a short letter and walked out of the courtyard of Liu Laowu's house, and the little wolves in the kennel all watched him quietly without making a sound. Tang Xu was holding an iron-clad wooden stick specially given to him by Liu Lao Wu for self-defense, with a scimitar pinned to his waist, carrying gold and a lot of money, as if he wanted to go to the rivers and lakes alone. Tang Xu walked on the way out of the village, looking back from time to time, the small village in the night was quiet.

"Goodbye to the fifth brother, the fifth sister-in-law, Ah Hu and everyone in Liujia Village." From the dilapidated Liujia Village when he first arrived to the lively and lively village now, Tang Xu finally burst into tears, and thought that if he had the opportunity, he would definitely come back to see it.

"How do you get there now?" Tang Xu was sad all the way, and when he was already far away from Liujia Village, he found that he had no goal at all, and he didn't think about where to go at all, he stood at the foot of the mountain behind the village and was at a loss.

"Let's go up the hill and have a look." Tang Xu and Liu Lao Wu have been here many times, and they have done a few big things here, but they have come and gone in a hurry, and they have hardly seen the whole picture of the mountain. Now that Tang Xu has time, he wants to take a closer look.

Tang Xu went around the mountain for a long time, went to many places where Liu Lao Wu had taken him to hunt before, and saw the drainage canal dug for Aunt Liu's house before, Tang Xu thought that if he wrote a letter and put it in a drifting bottle to let it flow back to Liujia Village, it would be quite romantic.

"Uhhhhh Tang Xu was disgusted by himself and had goosebumps, and then dispelled this idea.

"Where am I going?" The mountains are full of flowers and trees, and it would be interesting to visit them in your spare time, but now that Tang Xu is half away from home, it is not safe to stay in the wild all the time. Tang Xu now has money and is quite confident, and he wants to go to the county seat first. Usually he is from the mountain road past, but now he secretly ran out, absolutely not grandiose on the road, listen to Liu Lao Wu said that after going up the mountain, he has been walking south to the county seat, but the mountain road is rugged, and ordinary people do not choose this road. Tang Xu stretched out his hand and gestured in the air for a while, barely determined the direction, and then cheered up and walked towards the south, Liu Lao Wu once said that this mountain is not high, and if you keep going up, you can see the way down the mountain in less than half a day. But Tang Xu didn't see where he could go down the mountain from before dawn to the dark, no matter where he went, there were still lush trees and flowers in front of him.

"Am I lost?" Tang Xu's sense of orientation is actually not very good, the number of times he can pass the geography exam is limited, and there is no reference in the forest, it is difficult for light to penetrate in the dense woods, and the terrain is also undulating, not a straight upward extension, Tang Xu feels that he is likely to go in the wrong direction, and he may not know when he will deviate from the straight line and take a detour.

Seeing that it was getting dark, it was not a good idea to find a place to spend the night, and it was not a wise choice to put yourself outside so that passing beasts could come and smell and lick them freely. After walking forward for a while, and seeing a cave in front of him, Tang Xu became inexplicably nervous, thinking that this cave looked so similar to the place where the wolf cubs were found before? But that cave is on the edge of the forest below the mountain, could it be that I have encountered a ghost hitting the wall?
