When I came to Lianshan Pass, the grain in the village had almost been harvested, and the weather began to get cold.

As far as the eye can see, the fields are barren, and occasionally some small birds can be seen rummaging in the fields looking for something to eat, but soon they fly away again, probably unable to find anything to eat.

They stood at the entrance of the village and looked at the village, and then they slowly walked into the village.

When they entered the village, they could still see a lot of people on the road in the village, or under the big trees in the village, and there was gossip in the dam that they did not understand.

The men were amazed to see their group drive the carriage to the village, and then many people began to slowly come forward to watch them...... of the carriage.

Looking at the surprise in the eyes of many people, Yang Xue and Li Bokang didn't know what words to use to describe their feelings for a while, and they only felt panicked in their hearts.

These people, many children, were dressed in tatters, some had no shoes, and some were running naked on the road, chasing them to their carriage.

There are also some half-grown children, some adults, and some old people.

Among them, many of them felt novel when they saw their carriage, maybe they had never seen a carriage, Yang Xue and Li Bokang thought at the same time.

From the eyes of those people, Yang Xue and Li Bokang suddenly felt that the two of them seemed so incompatible with the environment and people here.

Zhao County Lieutenant and the catcher who brought it felt that these were very ordinary, they had seen a lot of such situations, and they didn't feel surprised or surprised.

Some people in the crowd may have seen County Lieutenant Zhao, or they may have seen the catcher who came together, and someone went to find the village chief of their village.

After the arrival of Village Chief Wang, the people in the village suddenly quieted down, and some people shouted "Village Chief" to him one after another.

Village Chief Wang looked at them, and finally put his eyes on County Lieutenant Zhao.

Village Chief Wang asked them, "I am the village chief of our village, I wonder what a few distinguished guests are doing here?" ”

The village chief looked very respectful when he spoke to them, and even his back had been bent down, and it seemed that the few of them had a sense of superiority.

Li Bokang and Yang Xue don't like this feeling very much, they also came from this situation, especially Yang Xue, her previous education made her unable to accept it.

They know that it may be that the village chief has not seen or rarely seen people like them, so in the village chief's heart, they feel that they are rich and noble.

Moreover, although Village Chief Wang looked at it and said it to a group of them, if you look closely, he said it to County Lieutenant Zhao.

Or maybe it's because County Lieutenant Zhao is the oldest in their group except for Lai Xing, and Lai Xing is managing the carriage, and the catcher is standing behind County Lieutenant Zhao, so there is such a situation.

Or maybe Village Chief Wang had seen County Lieutenant Zhao before, in short, no matter what, it looked like he was asking County Lieutenant Zhao how he felt.

Yang Xue and Li Bokang didn't mind, anyway, the village chief didn't ask anyone clearly, so Li Bokang said: "Village chief, we want to spend the night in the village, I don't know if you can arrange a room for us." ”

Because they didn't set off very early, the road on the road was not good, and it was already afternoon when they arrived at the mountain pass, so Li Bokang was said so.

Village Chief Wang was a little skeptical when he heard this, how could they come to their poor and poor mountain pass, and still have to spend the night with them.

Li Bokang saw the suspicion in his eyes, and said: "It's such a village chief, we are students who came out to travel, and we came here by accident, because the time is a little late, and the road on the road is not very good, so we want to spend the night here." ”

Village Chief Wang was still a little skeptical when he heard this, but seeing that Li Bokang was quite sincere, he believed it for the time being.

Anyway, they also said that they would only stay overnight and leave tomorrow, and besides, are they still afraid of the four or five of them?

I just think so, but it takes some courage to say yes, their village is so poor.

After thinking about it, the village chief said, "In that case, this son will wait for a while, and I will discuss it with the villagers." ”

Li Bokang was not in a hurry when he heard this, so he said, "Okay, then trouble the village chief." ”

After speaking, he also saluted the village chief.

The village chief felt a little flattered, and the crowd of onlookers also whispered.

When the village chief came back to his senses, he turned around and began to consult with the people in the crowd.

Even the village of Shanao is not big, and there are not many people, because of their arrival and the appearance of the village chief, most of the people in the village have also come here.

Soon, they discussed it, and the village chief came out and said to them: "A few distinguished guests, we have discussed it, we can vacate two houses for a few distinguished guests, but the conditions may not be very good, please don't dislike them." ”

Li Bokang waved his hand again and again after hearing this: "How come, we thank the village chief for being almost the same, how can we dislike it." ”

After finishing speaking, he looked at County Lieutenant Zhao on the side, and County Lieutenant Zhao nodded and said, "Yes." ”

At this time, County Lieutenant Zhao had some curiosity and surprise about Li Bokang, and every village recognized life, even the mountain pass.

He just didn't expect that without the help of a local, Li Bokang and his family could borrow a house from the villagers for the night, which was beyond his expectations.

Seeing that they all agreed, Village Chief Wang took them to the place they had discussed before.

When I came to the place that the village chief said, it was very simple, the house was an earthen house, and the roof was made of thatch and mud.

There are even many considerable cracks on the walls of the house, some large and some small, the big ones can be seen from the outside of the house, and the smaller ones can also be ventilated.

Looking at such a house, Yang Xue and Li Bokang did not show any other expressions, and this situation was similar to their previous situation, or a little better.

Moreover, along the way, they also saw that there were many thatched houses in the village, and there were no walls made of soil, all of which were made of wood.

Therefore, they feel that it is already very good, but they don't know if County Lieutenant Zhao can accept it.

So, Li Bokang said to the village chief: "It's already good, thank you to the village chief." ”

The village chief said, "I can't say thank you, as long as the guests don't dislike it." ”

Li Bokang said again: "How come, sometimes we didn't even have a decent thatched hut to live in the wild, not to mention that this house is already very good." ”

It was only then that Village Chief Wang showed his first smile since Li Bokang and the others came here.

Yang Xue felt that the people in this mountain col were still very simple, and lent them such a good house.

At this time, the village chief and Li Bokang put their eyes on County Lieutenant Zhao at the same time, wanting to know what he thought.

Of course, County Lieutenant Zhao doesn't mind, he hasn't suffered hardships, plus he thinks that Li Bokang, the hairy county order, is fine, how can he not do it.

Therefore, County Lieutenant Zhao nodded at them and said yes.
