Several people immediately looked at each other, obviously a little unconvinced, after all, it was empty talk.

Cheng Hao could only say helplessly: "Don't be afraid, although I am from the Security Bureau, my job is not to do this, you can think about it, what is it to resell some antiques, at most it is a crime of greed for money, what can it have to do with national security."

Besides, I'm doing this purely for personal reasons, of course, if you don't believe it, then I can't help it, according to the rules, I can also get the whereabouts of this incense burner, everyone, what do you say! ”

As he spoke, Cheng Hao's gaze cooled slightly, and then slightly released the coercion of his own cultivation.

Suddenly, including the village chief, several old men began to tremble slightly, and even the wine glasses in their hands were almost unstable, and they almost fell on the table.

Fortunately, Cheng Hao only showed a moment of fleeting, and then immediately converged, and everyone quickly reined in their gaffes, and suddenly looked at each other with some weak hearts.

As the saying goes, people grow old and become fine!

Everyone soon reached an agreement in the collision of eyes.

The village chief put down his wine glass, sat down and said: "Little brother is bright, it stands to reason that our small mountain village is a remote and small place, with a population of about 100 people, such a small place, there is not much oil and water, to be honest, brother, I didn't want to be this village chief for a long time, I was really lifted by everyone, so I had to take this responsibility."

It's a pity that in our place, there are no special products, no ores, and crops can't grow much, so we can only barely make ends meet.

As the head of a village, it hurts to see people so barren, so I decided to sell the incense burner, no matter how much, it is always a little welfare, and it is worthy of the title of the head of a village. ”

With a choked tone, the village chief said these "heartfelt words" word by word, in the final analysis, it is better to excuse himself first, and first make himself clear: I did this for the sake of these hundred or ten people!

However, Cheng Hao doesn't care about this, of course, the village chief does this, Cheng Hao doesn't think there is anything wrong, after all, in such a place, the young and strong are not there, only some old, weak, sick and disabled are left, so how to develop the economy.

Cheng Hao nodded, and said directly: "Village chief, just tell me the whereabouts of this incense burner, people like us, maybe when we will be martyred, then we will be a lonely ghost, I'm afraid there is not even a person to collect the corpse, just say it, your benefits are indispensable." ”

As he spoke, Cheng Hao put his hand into his pocket, and under the cover of his pocket, he took out 50,000 yuan in cash from the storage ring, put it on the dining table, and said:

"Let's tell you the truth, people like us are not short of money to spend, you just need to tell me the whereabouts of this incense burner, this cash is yours, and when I get the incense burner, let my old man be happy, and give you another 100,000!"

A group of people looked at the 50,000 yuan stacked in front of Cheng Hao, and suddenly we were all straight, and when they heard that there were still 100,000 yuan after the fact, their eyes suddenly glowed green, obviously very excited.

The village chief secretly said that it was not good, and his eyes collected the looks of everyone, what virtues these people had, as the village chief, he couldn't be clearer, there was a way: money can make ghosts grind, let alone people. If this opportunity is taken away by others...

Thinking of this, the village chief didn't wait for others to speak, and immediately patted Cheng Hao's shoulder and laughed loudly: "The little brother is young, but he is really young!"

Since the little brothers have said so, it's not a big deal, come, you come with me, I have something for you to see. ”

As he spoke, the village chief patted Cheng Hao on the shoulder, got up and walked into the inner room.

Feeling the meaning of the village chief, Cheng Hao casually put away the cash on the table, and was about to get up, when an old man next to him grabbed Cheng Hao with a smile like a lotus, picked up the wine bottle with one hand, and said with a smile:

"Come on, little brother, as soon as the little old man sees you, there is a kind of... Feel like home at first sight! There are some things that the little old man can also say. ”

Saying that, looking at Cheng Hao with a special look, Cheng Hao smiled slightly, got rid of his hand without a trace, and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll have a good chat with you in a while." ”

After speaking, he followed the village chief into the back room.

Inside is a bedroom with an earthen kang and a place for cooking. This is the case in the rural areas of the north, a stove that takes into account the two functions of cooking and heating.

And the most typical thing is that there is a table on the earthen kang, and the middle-aged woman who gave Cheng Hao dishes and chopsticks just now, and a girl in her early fifteen or sixteen years old, are sitting cross-legged on the kang and eating food.

Suddenly saw the village chief and a strange young man walk in, the middle-aged woman immediately put down the bowl in her hand, and was about to go down to the ground to put on her shoes, while smiling faintly at Cheng Hao.

And that girl had a pair of big eyes and looked at Cheng Hao curiously, after all, in her understanding, it seemed that she had never seen such a delicate, clean, and good-looking big brother.

Cheng Hao smiled at the middle-aged woman, nodded slightly, said hello, and smiled at the little girl on the kang.

At this time, the village chief sat on the edge of the kang, picked up a box of cigarettes from the kang, took out two, and handed one to Cheng Hao.

Cheng Hao took it casually, this kind of thing is basically a naughty child, basically tried it when he was a child, some think it is easy to smoke, or handsome, he will smoke it secretly. Of course, Cheng Hao also tried it when he was a child, but he didn't get hooked on this thing.

But cigarettes sometimes play a very big role in the interaction between men and men, and at the same time, it can more or less reflect the true thoughts of the person's heart.

For example, if someone hands you a cigarette, whether you accept it or not represents your attitude. Handing out cigarettes generally occurs when asking someone to do something, or slapping up with a boss, etc.

When a person with a relatively low status hands you a cigarette and you don't answer it, it means that you can't see him clearly from your heart; If you take it, it's just a matter of playing; If you take it and smoke it calmly, the person who handed you the cigarette will feel like he has been lifted, and he will definitely smile and be in a good mood.

It's a pity that Cheng Hao doesn't have a lighter, and it is impossible to use his spiritual power to light a fire at this moment, just when he saw that firewood was burning on the stove to boil water.

Cheng Hao took two steps forward, took out a relatively thin one from the burning firewood, then tilted his head to light the flame on the firewood, lit the cigarette, and then handed the firewood to the village chief casually.

The village chief with a cigarette in one hand looked at this scene dumbfounded, and the woman next to the village chief and the little girl on the kang were obviously surprised, just like a noble person, suddenly very down-to-earth!

But this time, it makes people feel very cordial, all of a sudden, just pull

into the distance between them.

The village chief reflected, hurriedly took the firewood, then lit a cigarette, then looked at Cheng Hao, and said, "Little brother, are you from the countryside?" ”

Cheng Hao nodded and smiled: "Your old eyes are like torches, now you can tell me the whereabouts of that incense burner." ”

The village chief frowned slightly, looked at the middle-aged woman and the curious girl on the kang, took two puffs of cigarette, and said: "How poor our village is, I believe you have also seen it, there is something I want to ask you for a favor, and then I will give the news with both hands, not a penny." ”

Cheng Hao was stunned for a moment, raised his head and spit out a smoke dragon, and said, "You said, if you can help, I will help." ”

The village chief lowered his head and took two more puffs, as if he had mustered all his courage, and suddenly raised his head and said, "Help my daughter solve the problem of going to school!" ”

Cheng Hao was stunned, the middle-aged woman next to him and the little girl on the kang all turned their heads to look at the village chief in shock, as if they never thought that the village chief would have this idea!

Cheng Hao swept his eyes and found that there were faint tears flashing in the eyes of the middle-aged woman, and the little girl on the kang was also stunned at the moment.

And the village chief looked at Cheng Hao with a resolute face, his eyes were so bright, persistent, and burning with a raging flame of hope!

For a moment, Cheng Hao remembered that when he was in junior high school, he was in a rebellious period, and he once wanted to drop out of school, but his grandmother always encouraged and insisted on forcing him to go to school... Eventually, until you finish your college career!

Faintly, Cheng Hao saw the persistence and expectation of his grandmother from the village chief, and he felt sorry for his parents all over the world... In the end, Cheng Hao nodded and agreed. In fact, these things are a piece of cake for them.

As long as Cheng Hao shows his ID card from the Security Bureau, even if he doesn't pass the main division, I believe that there are many people who are willing to act as a pawn for Cheng Hao.

After the village chief and the woman wept with joy and wept repeatedly, the village chief told the story one by one.

This person's surname is Wei, and he is also a young man in his twenties and less than thirty. This person came to the Taihang Mountains alone, and happened to come to this mountain village, and it happened that there was a person in the village who suddenly fell ill, and in a hurry, his family came to the village chief's house to take some incense burner ashes to cure the disease, and met this young man on the road.

Coincidentally, the young man asked this man for directions, and it just so happened that he told him about the incense burner, and the young man happened to have medicine for this disease.

So the young man went home with this man, gave medicine to the patient, and when he was much better, he came to the village chief and wanted to buy this incense burner. At first, the village chief was hesitant to sell it, after all, it was a cultural relic. As a result, the price offered by this person is really exciting, and the most important thing is that with this money, he can give his daughter a better teaching environment!

In the end, under the influence of selfishness, the village chief decided to sell the incense burner, and then went to the provincial capital to find the best school for his daughter.

But what I didn't expect was that when the school heard that it was a child who had been going to school in the countryside since he was a child, he thought that his daughter's current level was too different from that of students of the same grade in the provincial capital, and the living environment and education level were different since she was a child, so it was naturally a lot different.

Moreover, the village chief ran several schools, but they all refused with similar excuses, and the village chief had no choice but to return to the village to his chagrin.
