"The two villages have always been close, and even in-laws and support each other, and we in the east village are willing to give the west village more time to repay debts. ”

The lord of Dongtang Village squinted and replied: "However, now that the original lord of the West Village has been driven away, of course we have to come to find a new lord of the West Village." ”

"Since we talk about rules, let's talk about rules. ”

Lin Chen sat back on the recliner and said casually: "According to the rules, the new lord does need to be responsible for the debts of the territory, but the debts that exceed the repayment period are not included, am I right?"

"Childe, it's a bit too tricky for you to say that!"

The lord of Dongtang Village said unhappily: "Our East Village is willing to delay the repayment of debts because of our close relationship with the West Village, we are very kind, if we let us suffer losses because of the so-called rules you just called, it is really chilling!"

"If there are rules, you should do things according to the rules, otherwise what do you want to do with the rules?"

As the system said, Lin Chen's face was thick and dark, and this characteristic of his was revealed at this time.

As soon as he arrived in this world, he had just occupied a territory, and before he had eaten a hot meal, he was forced to repay a debt that had nothing to do with him, which was really a little difficult for him to accept.

"Childe, if you act like this, I'm afraid it will affect the harmonious relationship between our eastern and western villages!"

The lord of Dongtang Village snorted and said.

"Your Lord, this matter does need to be thought twice. ”

"People were willing to help us last year, which is already a great kindness, and it can't make people feel cold. ”

"The fault lies with the Hu family, they are too greedy to let Dongtang Village bear the loss because of this. ”

"I really shouldn't have let go of the Hu family so easily!"

A group of villagers and elders from Xitang Village spoke out one after another.

Lin Chen looked at them and thought to himself that these people were really simple and upright, and they had already paid back what they should have returned, and they didn't seem to mind paying it back again.

It is definitely not possible to chase the Hu family now, even if the direction of chasing is correct, it is probably impossible to catch up.

Maybe it would be possible to catch up with Tu Qing if he chased him, but Lin Chen's strength was low now, and he had to keep Tu Qing by his side to ensure his own safety.

Yesterday's incident on Tangshan proved that it was not enough to protect oneself with the black iron token given by Queen Bamboo Heart.

After pondering for a moment, Lin Chen suddenly asked, "How many people do you have in Dongtang Village?"

The lord of Dongtang Village didn't know why, but he also replied truthfully: "It's slightly more than Xitang Village, and if you count my family, there are two hundred and thirty-five people in total." ”

Lin Chen silently calculated: "186 plus 235 is...... 421, if I can take Dongtang Village, I can directly become the three-star lord of Black Iron. ”

So, when he looked at the people in Dongtang Village again, there was an intriguing smile in his eyes.

"Childe, don't say that the people of our Dongtang Village are ruthless, you are new to the city, and some of the situations are not too clear, we can give you three more days. ”

The lord of Dongtang Village still stroked his long white beard and said, "In three days, we will come back to pay off the debt." ”

With that, he turned and left with the rest of his men.

Seeing the people of Dongtang Village walk out of the courtyard, the elders of Xitang Village, who were still gathered in the courtyard, shook their heads and sighed, their faces full of sadness.

At this time, Tu Qing returned to the courtyard with a cloak wrapped in a few fruits.

"Just eat this?"

Lin Chen looked unhappy, he was also a traverser anyway, and he was stared at by a group of indigenous villagers, didn't he lose face?

"Lord Lord, you don't let me rob it, in this remote place, it's really difficult for a subordinate to cook without rice!"

Tu Qing replied helplessly.

"Yo, do you still know that it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice? Yes, yes!"

Lin Chen thought to himself, the system in his body was very earthly, and the things that came from this system were also not so strange.

"I'm going to have breakfast, let's all disperse!"

After taking a bite of a wild fruit that had been washed, Lin Chen waved his hand at the elders of Xitang Village.

Everyone shook their heads and sighed again, and left one after another.

The taste of the wild fruit was a little sour, and Lin Chen didn't want to eat the second one after eating one.

After two tea times, when he was lying on the recliner and thinking, another group of villagers from Xitang Village came to him.

This time, they brought some bags large and small that were not full.

Lin Chen thought that they were here to pay tribute to him, but in fact it was not-

The villagers squeezed out their family's food and other materials, saying that they wanted to do their best to repay the debt owed to Dongtang Village.

Lin Chen couldn't help but be speechless for a while, and secretly said that these villagers really don't know how to be flexible, and they also value credibility too much, and would rather be hungry than repay the debts that have been repaid once.

Although he has a thick face and a black heart, he will not be like the Hu family, who bullied and oppressed these simple villagers.

"Go back with your things, and I, the lord, will take care of the debt. ”

Lin Chen waved at the villagers again, and said very firmly: "Moreover, I have already thought of a way to solve it. ”

The villagers were skeptical, but they didn't say anything, and walked away with their bags.

"My lord, if there is no obvious hostility or murderous intent towards you, you have no right to order me to harm or threaten others. ”

After waiting for a while, Tu Qing reminded in a low voice.

"Broken system, there are a lot of restrictions!"

Lin Chen spat dissatisfiedly, knowing that he couldn't just expect the system to live a comfortable life in this world.

Even if Tu Qing can't make a move, he has a way to solve the debt problem of Xitang Village.

He has three quenching pills, although they are only low-grade spirit pills, but each one is worth a lot of money, let alone repay debts, it is no problem to buy the entire Dongtang Village.

Since it can be solved, he naturally won't think too much about it.

I didn't sleep last night, and when I was at leisure, I couldn't help but feel sleepy, and after lying down for a while, I gradually fell asleep.

At noon, he woke up from his dream and did not eat any more wild fruits because a villager brought him lunch.

It's just that this bare-headed villager sent a roasted snake, even if he repeatedly said that this food tasted good, Lin Chen couldn't raise the slightest appetite.

In his previous life, his least favorite thing was snakes.

He didn't eat the roast snake, but Tu Qing didn't mind and ate it with relish.

The villager sent another roasted sweet potato, and this time, Lin Chen did not politely refuse.

In the afternoon, he still slept on a recliner, and Tu Qing continued to clean all the houses in the house under his orders.

Just after dark, another middle-aged villager who looked very thin brought dinner.

Dinner was simple, just cereal porridge and pickles.

Lin Chen was eating, and the lean villager suddenly whispered, "Lord Lord, I heard that the Hu family went to the East Village before leaving, and settled the debts owed by our West Village. ”

"Oh?"

Lin Chen was surprised and asked, "Is the news reliable?"

"Absolutely. ”

The lean villager replied, "My daughter's husband's house is in Dongcun, and she told me the news in the afternoon. ”

"His uncle's!"

Lin Chen couldn't help but scold.

"Lord Lord, the East Village has always been much stronger than our West Village, and if Hu Lide doesn't pay off his debts, it is impossible for him to move out so easily. ”

The lean villager reminded again.
