chapter content,

Thinking that the female shopkeeper in front of him knew these things, Ling Han simply said, "I also trouble the shopkeeper to tell me, where are the village chief and the aunt of the Liu family?" ”

The female shopkeeper standing in front of her frowned, and soon she spoke, "When you get out of here, you just need to ask people on the street." ”

Without saying anything more, the shopkeeper turned to leave. I don't treat Ling Han and the others as guests.

"Madam, why do I think this shopkeeper is a little weird?"

Although Lone Smoke felt a little strange, he didn't say anything; is to ask Qingqing, and he has always been straightforward and fast-hearted; Now in front of Ling Han, there were only three of them in the inn.

Naturally, he said it directly. It's just that Wen Qing still lowered her voice, but she was cautious.

Ling Han also felt that the female shopkeeper was a little strange, but thinking that this was the countryside, and such a woman, she took care of herself inside and outside an inn, but she had such a temperament.

It's weird to think about people, maybe I just don't want to talk to them more!

"Maybe she's busy." Ling Han said as he walked out, "Let's go out and ask others." ”

The first time I came to the countryside, the location of the inn was also relatively remote; Ling Han, who was going around and around, found that the place was remote, and although there were houses next to it, there seemed to be no residents.

I can't help but feel strange.

After going around and around, Ling Han and the three of them finally walked onto the street. Looking at the bustle of the street, it is diametrically opposed to the street that Fang just walked.

There was a huge difference between the two, and even Ling Han vaguely felt that something was wrong with it.

"Excuse me, where is the village chief's residence?" The matter of asking for directions has been left to Wen Qing. As soon as she arrived on the street, Wen Qing thought to herself that this was what a village should look like.

Then he stepped forward to stop a walking woman and asked.

The woman glanced at Wen Qing, then glanced behind Wen Qing, and saw Ling Han and Gu Yan standing on the side, a little puzzled, "You are outsiders, come here to find the village chief?" ”

Wen Qing nodded, and the woman saw that she didn't look like she was lying, so she pointed to the direction on the street and said, "Walk all the way from here, turn right when you reach the end, and then go east." That's it. ”

A brief explanation also solves the doubts of Wen Qing. After saying "thank you", Wen Qing walked to Ling Han's side, "Madam, let's go." ”

The three of them said nothing more, and walked in the direction the woman pointed.

By the time the three of them found the village chief's house, it was already a quarter of an hour later. Because what the woman said, it is really not far to the end, but it takes more time to go around and around.

Standing in front of the door, Lone Yan stepped forward and knocked on the door very autonomously, "knock knock" sounded three times, only to hear a voice from inside the door, "Coming, who?" ”

It's a female voice.

When the door was opened, a plainly dressed woman appeared in front of Ling Han and the others. When looking at such a stranger in front of her, the woman couldn't help but close the door a little, "You are ......"

Ling Han stepped forward and said kindly, "Hello, we are here to discuss something with the village chief. ”

Skimming aside the indifferent solitary smoke, when she saw Wen Qing and Ling Han, the woman was relieved, but she still stood at the door, "A few people are very fresh, and the accent is from the capital?" ”

Nodding, Ling Han said, "Yes." I just came to discuss something with the village chief. ”

The woman glanced at Ling Han in front of her, and saw that she was dressed extravagantly, so the woman let go of her hand holding the door, and turned to the house and shouted, "Wife, someone is looking for you!" ”

had already thought that this was the village chief's daughter-in-law, and the three of them were not too surprised. Just standing at the door and waiting for the village chief to come out of the house.

It wasn't until the village chief came out of the house and briefly explained his intentions that the village chief and the village chief's daughter-in-law invited the three of them into the house.

"Please don't mind, three." The village chief was generous, just sat down and told his wife to pour tea, and sat in front of Ling Han and the others before he spoke.

Ling Han naturally understood what the village chief meant, which was nothing more than a moment to let the three of them stand outside for a while.

"The village chief doesn't have to be polite. We are outsiders, and it is appropriate to be cautious. He understood the village chief's actions very well, and Ling Han said very indifferently, without any concern.

This surprised the village chief, but he quickly nodded and brought the topic back to the topic, "This lady just said that she wants to cooperate with the village?" ”

didn't waste much time, the village chief asked Ling Han and replied directly, "Well, I have heard that the cotton in the 'Grain Cotton Village' is very good, and I want to contract the cotton base here." ”

"You manage the cotton every year, and when your cotton is produced, you sell it to us."

said his words very directly, and Ling Han didn't avoid suspicion at all. It was even more surprising to the village chief in front of him.

At this time, the village chief's daughter-in-law came up with tea, poured it, and then retreated.

In a gap of time, the village chief thought of many ways to answer, but when faced with Ling Han's direct answer, he finally chose to answer directly.

"I'm afraid this lady doesn't know anything; Although I am the head of the village, the cotton in this 'grain cotton village' is really not under my control. ”

Ling Han was not surprised at all by this answer, after all, he had heard from the female shopkeeper before he came.

"I heard that cotton is managed by a person named Aunt Liu." Ling Han said what he knew, and then continued to speak, "In addition to cotton, I can cooperate with the village chief for other things. ”

"After all, it is Aunt Liu's business whether to sell cotton or not, but if Aunt Liu sells it, people who want to come to the village will not be idle, which has something to do with the village chief."

Everything, Ling Han assumed that "Aunt Liu" agreed to sell cotton to himself.

The village chief frowned slightly, and couldn't help but shake his head, "The little lady doesn't know, Aunt Liu has a strange temper, especially after her husband passed away, she is even more silent and does not interact with the outside world. ”

"I'm afraid this business won't work."

This made Ling Han feel strange, and after thinking about it in his heart, Ling Han raised his head, "Isn't the cotton in this field planted and sold?" ”

The village chief nodded, but quickly shook his head again, and for a moment he was undecided.

Looking at the village chief's hesitant face, Ling Han felt strange, and looked at the village chief in front of him with some doubts, "Cotton is not sold, even if you make your own clothes, you can't use it up." ”

What Ling Han said was the truth, and the village chief in front of him had no way to refute it, so he just sighed slightly, "The little lady doesn't know, Aunt Liu's temper is very strange, and it's not the first time that someone has come to talk about this matter." ”

"It's just that Aunt Liu doesn't even show her face, I'm afraid it's ......"

Before he finished speaking, the village chief shook his head again and again, as if there was no way out.

Ling Han felt strange in his heart, but soon Ling Han spoke, "The village chief might as well take us to Aunt Liu's house for a trip, who knows if he will agree if he hasn't tried it." ”

With such a mentality, Ling Han, who said the words, saw the village chief sitting opposite and shook his head again and again, as if he did not agree with her statement.

Just raised his head to look at Ling Han's determined expression, he originally wanted to open his mouth to persuade Ling Han, but in the end he shook his head, "Forget it, I'll take you there." ”

They didn't even drink tea, and a few people stood up from their positions; The village chief explained to his daughter-in-law, and then left with Ling Han and the three of them.

Under the leadership of the village chief, until he passed through an alley, Ling Han suddenly saw another familiar alley. Thinking of passing through the alley when he had just arrived, he had some doubts in his heart, but he didn't say anything.

It wasn't until he got out of the alley that the inn that appeared in front of him made Ling Han and the three of them stunned.

"Why didn't the three of you leave?" The village chief, who was walking in front, suddenly found that the person next to him had disappeared. When he turned around, he found Ling Han and the three of them standing in place in a daze.

Ling Han, who reacted first, said tentatively, "Isn't the village chief going to take us to Aunt Liu?" Here......"

This is obviously the inn where she lives!

There was only one female shopkeeper in the inn. And they're looking for Aunt Liu! What's going on here?

The village chief, who didn't know what was going on, said word by word, "Aunt Liu lives here, and she is alone, so she has to set up an inn in the deep alley." Perennial people just drink tea. ”

Ling Han and the others were completely stunned at this time.

The words of the village chief are already obvious. In other words, the "Aunt Liu" in the mouth of the female shopkeeper is the shopkeeper herself. And the Aunt Liu they are looking for is the female shopkeeper!

However, when they left, the female shopkeeper told them that they wanted to find the village chief, what is going on now? After going around and around, I still came back here.

Ling Han was extremely depressed in his heart. But the village chief had already stepped into the inn at this time, and he didn't realize the strangeness of the person behind him, so he said, "Aunt Liu, Aunt Liu, there are guests here!" ”

The village chief shouted into the inn. At this time, Ling Han and Guyan Wenqing both stepped forward. At this time, the inn was so quiet that there was no one in it.

"Village chief, don't shout."

After thinking about it in my heart, I thought that the most likely thing was that the shopkeeper knew the purpose of their coming, so he used the strategy of diverting the tiger from the mountain.

Ling Han's words of encouragement made the village chief a little surprised, "What's wrong?" Don't you want to see Aunt Liu? Maybe she's out on something. ”

I feel that Ling Han and the others are not ordinary people, and the village chief is also more concerned. And he also hopes that Aunt Liu can go out of the cotton field in her hand, so that she can have some economic guarantees.

Wen Qing and Gu Yan, who had never interjected beside them, said in unison at this time, "We will live here." ”

This time it was the turn of the village chief to be stunned, looking at the three people behind him with a stunned and puzzled expression, until he reacted, he was surprised, "How is it possible!" You are outsiders, how can you find this place? ”

This is a famous deep alley. Even the people who live here don't easily wander around these places. Because it's easy to get lost, not to mention that Ling Han and the others are outsiders.

The village chief looked surprised, and at the same time felt that the words of several people were not credible. Instantly, his face tensed, "If you don't sincerely want to harvest cotton, then you don't have to fool me like this!" ”

Hearing the dissatisfaction in the village chief's words, Gu Yan and Wen Qing couldn't help frowning. Ling Han, who was protected by the two of them, did not change his face.

It's just a simple explanation of what happened.

"It was a middle-aged man about the same age as the village chief who brought us to the door. And told us that the female shopkeeper here is very kind, so that we don't have to worry about living here. ”

"How is that possible!"
