Chapter 41: Deliberation

After a short rest, the group hurried towards the ruins, where many people were waiting for their information.

After some deliberation and discussion in the village council, the leading figures in the township finally came to a final resolution.

The first is to announce to the villagers that this time it is just animals competing for heaven and earth. After the fight, they will disperse, and they should not hurt the villagers. Therefore, the order of life in the township has been restored to its previous state, but the families of the three villages closest to the Meteorite Valley must be relocated first to avoid being affected, and it is not too late to move back after the incident has calmed down.

In order to prevent future accidents, the hunters who have lost their source of livelihood will form a scout detachment to monitor the movements in the meteorite valley at all times. The errand is a bit dangerous, but of course it pays well.

Third, because Chen Chao has dealings with the government, he is solely responsible for reporting to the government. It is necessary not only to fight for some weapons to equip the village soldiers, but also to strive for the imperial court to send an army to exterminate the fierce beasts entrenched in the valley to prevent future troubles.

Fourth, the expenses of the township soldiers and hunters were of course donated by the villagers, but Li Xian, the largest landlord in the township, had not returned from a recent trip, so he had to discuss it later. During this extraordinary period, the township meeting was held every two days, and the daily operation was controlled by the two village elders in the ruins.

After the township council discussed all the issues, the meeting was dismissed, and the participants in the meeting first went back to convey it to the villagers. Later, a circular will be written in the name of the township council and then posted to all villages in the township.

"Chen Chao, let's find a place to talk." After the meeting ended, Li Xing stopped Chen Chao.

"Second uncle, you help me go back to the village first to convey that I have something to discuss with Li Xing."

"Okay! There you go! Second Uncle Chen, the patriarch of Shenyun Village, replied cheerfully. He knew that Chen Chao and Li Xing had a heavy burden, not only did they have to bear the obligation to donate, but the work arrangements of those township soldiers and hunter scouts also depended on them.

"Brother Chao, let's go to the teahouse and sit down!"

"It's better to go to your house and sit, I haven't been to your house for a few days. I want to visit my aunt and sister-in-law on the way. By the way, I haven't seen my good son-in-law for a few days. Chen Chao put forward his idea.

"Yes, Uncle Xing, I haven't seen Brother Li Wen for a long time. My mother's evaluation of Li Wen has been getting worse and worse recently, so I don't believe it, I want to ??????"

Chen ??? Dragon ???" Chen Chao stopped his son from talking in a long tone, and after he glanced at Li Xing's face again, he said, "I took you to Meteorite Valley to let you see more scenes. It was beyond my imagination, but it was safe and sound. So, now I'm going to test you, who do you think will win in the end? Why? ”

"It's supposed to be a wolf! But if there is another tiger, it will be dangerous! Chen Long was successfully sucked away by his father, he recalled.

"Slowly think about all the details, analyze all the causes and effects, and wait for you to go to Uncle Xing's house paper and write it clearly for me. Now you don't need to say it, think carefully first, maybe your analysis can help the villagers get through the difficulties! This is also the Father's assessment of you. ”

"Okay! Father! Hearing that he could help the villagers, Chen Long suddenly felt that this task laid by his father was so sacred, and he was busy bowing his head and thinking hard, and he accepted this task with great pleasure.

"Then let's talk while we go!" After Li Xing gave Chen Chao a praising look, he led the two fathers and sons towards Qingtan Village.

"Maybe I'm going to try my aunt's craftsmanship today, but it's a pity that I didn't bring a gift today."

"Do we brothers still need those politenesses? My mother has been chattering lately, why haven't you been to our house recently? Do you have any opinions about our family? ”

"Nothing, everything. Brother Xing, it's not that you don't know, I ran a business some time ago and it took nearly two months. When I come back, I have to deal with the embarrassment of the new county official, and I really don't have the skills! ”

"Of course I understand, of course I know your situation best. Unlike Li Xian, who will only envy you for getting rich like water, how can he understand the hardships behind you! ”

"By the way, Li Xian's old fat man is very comfortable, the sky in the countryside is about to fall in the past few days, and the fat man doesn't know where to run!"

His family said that before the Mid-Autumn Festival, he set off to visit his eldest daughter. This makes him not have to worry about the events of the past few days, which can be regarded as everyone's own blessing! Li Xing has been sad about this change in the past few days, and he can't help but sigh.

"Brother Xing, aren't the animals fighting for treasures? But I still see you with a sad face? By the way, didn't you have something to discuss with me just now? ”

"Just like you just tested Chen Long, if you think about the development of things in the future after a few more steps, I will be extremely unsure. Let me think about it again, and let's go back to our house and sit down and have a good talk. ”

??????

Chen Chao's father and son followed Li Xing to the Li family, and now the township is still in a period of panic, and the Li family has stayed at home and has not gone out.

Seeing Li Xing coming back safely, and bringing two distinguished guests, the Li family was very lively. After a brief introduction to the situation of this valley exploration, and then explaining the decision of the township council, everyone in the family finally breathed a sigh of relief in the past few days.

"Ah Chao, you haven't been to my house for a few months, do you dislike my house too?" Li Liu, who breathed a sigh of relief, half-truthed and half-truthfully joked about Chen Chao, she was also worried about her only grandson. She has been faintly worried that the divorce will affect her grandson's health. Therefore, she spoke to explore Chen Chao's tone, and the tone of the word "also" she said was heavy and slow.

"Mother, don't think too much. Chen Chao ran the business for two months, and when he came back, he had to deal with the difficulties of the county master. He's really lacking in skills! Li Xing naturally understood his mother's mind and explained it for Chen Chao.

"Auntie, look at what you said. I have been full of joy for Li Wen since I was a child, and even Chen Long and Chen Hu of my family are full of admiration for Li Wen, the little brother. You see, didn't I rush to visit your old man and Li Wen, a good son-in-law, when I had time? Chen Chao has been used to rolling in the business for many years, and in just a few words, Li Wen's grandmother was overjoyed.

"Ah Chao, let me tell you, my family Li Wen has many advantages?????? Li Liu was happy, and talked endlessly about the advantages of his grandson. She was old, and her cheeks were much thicker than her daughter-in-law, who was smiling awkwardly. The grandson does still have some hard injuries now, and she can't help but behave like this.

"Alright, mother! You don't have to sell melons in this Huang Po, you can boast about yourself. It's gold, and there will always be a time to shine. Ah Chao and I still have some important things to say! Li Xing interrupted his mother's chatter dissatisfiedly, and pulled Chen Chao to flee to the study.

"By the way, Chen Long, you can also come to my study, then there is a pen and paper, you can write out the answers of your father to test you!" Li Xing didn't forget to tell Chen Longlai, and he also cared about how this nephew had grown. The Li Xing family has a small population, and usually the two fathers and sons share the same study.

"Come, Brother Levin, you have the most ideas. I'll tell you in detail about what happened in Meteorite Valley, and you can help me read the question my father gave me just now. Chen Long also wanted to do a good job of analyzing the value and being helpful to the villagers, and he was just like what Chen Chao said, he was full of love and appreciation for Li Wen, so he took Li Wen's hand and followed his father into the study.

"At that time, we had just walked to the cliff???" Chen Long and Li Wen sat at their desks, and he talked about what he had seen and encountered before.

"Brother Xing, what are you most worried about now?" At the tea table in the study, Li Xing and Chen Chao chatted while sipping tea.

"If you are purely from the perspective of pursuing advantages and avoiding disadvantages, and from the position of old friends, I advise you to be ready to move your family out of Qingwan Township."

"Ahh Not really! Looking at the other party's seriousness, not like a joke, Chen Chao was shocked by Li Xing's judgment.

"Do you think the wolves are acting weird today?" Li Xing glanced at Long Chen, who was talking, and he deliberately lowered his voice.

"It's a bit abnormal, but it's not enough for us to move out of Qingwan. They are beasts after all, and there are not many of them, so how much harm can this cause? Chen Chao also deliberately suppressed his voice.

"It's true that it won't cause much harm now, but I'm most worried about the mysterious beast bead." Li Xing explained softly: "Look at today's formation, that group of wolf dogs is not snatching the beast beads, but seems to be guarding the beast beads. Observing that the wolves have been pressed out of their dens under them indicates that they have been there for some time. ”

"You're worried that the wolves are under the influence of the beast beads, and they have become so wise after a while!" Chen Chao suddenly figured out something and rushed to speak.

"I've never heard of a wolf pack behaving like this, and I'm worried that under the influence of the beast beads, the wolves will continue to evolve." Li Xing nodded.

"It's been a while since the meteorite fell, why did a hundred beasts fight each other until now?"

"It may be that the full moon in the fifteenth month caused the change of the beast beads, which attracted the attention of the beasts. I think the wolves are the most sensitive to the beast beads, and they were able to occupy that place earlier. You see, on the night of the fifteenth, the dogs in the neighboring villages were more than ten miles away from the Meteorite Valley, and the tiger had to step on the grass before giving birth to the senses, which illustrates something. ”

"If the wolf is transformed by that beast bead and becomes more and more intelligent, I really can't imagine what will become in the future, our Qingwan Township will sooner or later become a hunting area within their sphere of influence.

"If the imperial court sends troops to exterminate the beasts in time and destroy the beast beads, won't this miracle be eliminated invisibly?" Chen Chao has a different view.

"You forget, God died just this summer. Now that the national mourning has just passed, during the critical period when the new emperor ascended the throne, who in office dares to report the unconfirmed matter of 'strange disasters from heaven'? Who is not afraid of being punished for the capital crime of bewitching the people and slandering the new dynasty? ”

"Yes! Why don't I think about it! Chen Chao slapped his thigh and shouted: "I'm afraid I can't complete the task given to me in the township." ”

The second emperor of the Great Chohe Kingdom, Taishen Zheng Yu (889-926 AD), died in August 926 due to taking Jindan. The new emperor - Gonghui Emperor Zheng Longyu was young and the state affairs were not settled, so Li Xing's inference was extremely reasonable.
