"I didn't think it at first, but, Zhi'er, I believe in you, I hope I can really always bring you auspiciousness, and I hope you can become the happiest person in the world." Chu Yunniang listened carefully and said very reverently.

She knew in her heart that Xiao Qiongzhi said so much, in fact, it was all to comfort her and make her happy.

However, what Xiao Qiongzhi said made sense, which made her suddenly.

She deeply felt that even if she could not be regarded as a very auspicious person, she should definitely be regarded as a very lucky person.

Otherwise, how could God give her the opportunity to stay by Xiao Qiongzhi's side and watch Xiao Qiongzhi grow up day by day?

This is already the supreme glory for her!

"Mother, your hope will definitely come true! Thank you for your love! Xiao Qiongzhi couldn't help but smile sweetly.

It seems that Chu Yunniang has finally figured it out.

She pointed to the direction of the kitchen and reminded Chu Yunniang: "Mother, my uncle and I rushed back to see you, but we haven't eaten yet, you accompany me to the kitchen, hot meals, wait, let's have lunch together." ”

"Okay." Chu Yunniang hurriedly did so.

After the meal, Chu Yunniang considered that at the end of noon, the children in each village would come to class as agreed, and the family needed someone to stay behind to help manage it, so she still stayed at home.

Xiao Qiongzhi and Zheng Bang still went back to the river to watch Zhou Dayong and them scoop up the corpse.

At this time, more than 3,000 corpses had been piled up on the riverbank.

And the corpses drifting down the river upstream are getting fewer and fewer.

Among all the corpses, there were nearly 200 corpses, which belonged to the military clansmen from various villages in Quanpi Township.

The remaining nearly 3,000 corpses are unknown to everyone.

Xiao Qiongzhi thought for a while, pointed to those corpses, and said to Zhou Yuandong: "Patriarch Grandpa, you can discuss with the chief and find a painter to paint their portraits; Find Lang Zhong and conduct an autopsy and note their approximate age, physical features, possible underlying physical diseases, and causes of death from injuries on the portraits. ”

"At that time, this kind of portrait can be sent to various places to be posted, so that the locals can see it and identify the body."

"When the magistrate comes over, he should also arrange someone to do this, and if you and the lieutenant and the governor are arranging people to do this in advance, it is not only to share the worries of the magistrate, but also to let the family of the corpse recognize the corpse as soon as possible, so that the corpse can be buried in the ground, which is considered a great merit."

"Okay." Zhou Yuandong's eyes lit up and he immediately did so.

When the chief heard this, his eyes lit up.

He immediately arranged for the people who had informed the people of the villages and returned to him to do so.

Then, as if he suddenly thought of something, he turned his head and asked Zhou Yuandong: "Patriarch Zhou, did you think of this idea yourself, or did someone else remind you?" ”

"It was my little master who reminded me." Zhou Yuandong answered truthfully.

"Is it the little girl who helped your village, got the reward of returning the king, and asked the chiefs of each village to give up robbing your village, and taught them to recognize miscellaneous grains, so that you all recognize them as masters?" The lieutenant asked again.

"Yes." Zhou Yuandong nodded.

When he went back to the village and bought materials for the construction of the village wall, he met the chief.

The lieutenant asked him where he got the money, and why he didn't use it to buy food, but to build the village wall, and he answered truthfully one by one.

At that time, the lieutenant said that Xiao Qiongzhi, this child, is amazing, and he will definitely make great achievements in the future, and he will come to Zhoujia Village to visit him at that time.

It was he who told the lieutenant that Xiao Qiongzhi was not at home at the time, and he was busy going out, and it might take a while to come back, and the lieutenant changed his mind.

"Where is she now? Take me there and get to know her. The lieutenant said.

"Okay." Zhou Yuandong nodded again, and quickly brought the lieutenant chief to Xiao Qiongzhi and introduced them.

The lieutenant is an old man in his fifties, with straight eyebrows and eyes, and a kind expression.

But Xiao Qiongzhi had noticed before, when he gave orders to the few people he brought over before, and when he gave orders to the village chiefs or patriarchs, there was a stern look.

She knew in her heart that it must be Zhou Yuandong who said a lot of good things about herself in advance in front of the lieutenant chief, so that the lieutenant chief would have such a good attitude.

Therefore, after Zhou Yuandong's introduction, Xiao Qiongzhi immediately followed the rules and saluted the chief very respectfully.

"Little girl, a few days ago in the township, Patriarch Zhou met me and told me a lot about you."

"At a young age, you can assist him, lead the whole village to fight the robbers, and get the silver from Hui Huijun to compensate the robbers who killed and injured the villagers, and the silver to build the village wall."

"Together with your uncle, I persuaded the village chiefs to quit, gave up robbing you, taught them to recognize miscellaneous grains, and let them recognize miscellaneous grains with other village patriarchs, which alleviated everyone's embarrassment of lack of food, and greatly reduced the phenomenon of robbery in various villages, which has made a great contribution to our Quanpi Township."

"I decided to give you a place to study in the township for free for three years, and after the spring of next year, you can come to the township to find me to get a place, and sign up for the township school!" The lieutenant said enthusiastically.

"Thank you, Uncle Li, however, I already plan to go to the county school next year to study, and I have already told the county magistrate and Master Zheng about this in advance."

"Look, can you let me transfer this three-year free place to our village and other children who want to study?" Xiao Qiongzhi glanced at Li Chang gratefully and asked very sincerely.

She knew in her heart that although many parents in the village learned that she was going to support 30 children who were literate and kung fu with Zhou Dayong and Zheng Bang to go to the county school to study, they all hoped that the children would be selected, but it was a long way to go to the county school, and it was inconvenient to go back and forth to return home.

If it is free to study in the countryside, it is very convenient to go back and forth, and some parents who are reluctant to leave their children early must be happy to ask for this kind of place.

"Okay." The governor has no opinion.

This free place to study in the countryside is said to be a reward he gave Xiao Qiongzhi, but in fact, it is the favor he gave to Xiao Qiongzhi in order to win over Xiao Qiongzhi, whether it is Xiao Qiongzhi for his own use or transferred to others for use, it is on behalf of Xiao Qiongzhi to accept the favor he sent, which is essentially the same.

What's more, in addition to knowing Hui Huijun, Xiao Qiongzhi actually knows the county magistrate and Master Zheng, who has a great opportunity and a high starting point, and will only be able to make more achievements in the future and benefit the township.

Soon, it was late noon.

By this time, there were almost no corpses floating down the river upstream.

On the riverbank, among the two or three hundred corpses newly piled up, only more than 20 belonged to the soldiers of Quanpi Township, and none of them belonged to the soldiers of Zhoujia Village.

Xiao Qiongzhi, Liu Wuxiu, and Zhou Dayong were all in their hearts, and they took a long breath.

Among them, Xiao Qiongzhi, Zheng Bang, Zhou Dayong, Gouzi, and Shi hurriedly went home to class together.

Only Liu Wuxiu stayed.

Because, there is a corpse belonging to Liujia Village, which is her cousin.

According to her, this cousin used to be very good to her, and if there was anything delicious and fun, he would keep her a share, which was more intimate than her own brother.

She wanted to stay with him a little longer, until the magistrate came over and allowed the villages to bring back the recognized corpses.
