Spruce House, Anqing Village. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"The view is so nice that I decided to stay here for a while!"
Looking at the village at the foot of the mountain, Fei Lun nodded with satisfaction and walked towards the village with Wei Qing and Wei Yu.
"Little doll, take me to the village chief's house, and I'll give you this bag of honey!" Calling a child who was running around the village, Faeron took out a bag of honey from his arms and said with a smile.
"Give me the honey first, and I'll take you there!" said the child, wiping his nose with his sleeve and tilting his head.
"It's a little doll who doesn't want to suffer, lead the way!" Fallon smiled as he handed the honey in his hand to the child.
The child opened the paper bag, picked out a piece of honey and put it in his mouth, and a rich sweetness instantly spread in his mouth.
"It's so sweet!" the child said with a happy expression of happiness in his eyes.
"Can you take us to the village chief now?" said Feren with a smile.
"Come with me!" said to Feren, carefully wrapping the honey in his arms.
The child jumped in front to lead the way, and Fei Lun and the two apprentices slowly followed the child into the village.
"Mao Dan, who are these strangers looking for in the village?" an old man sitting in the shade of a tree by the side of the road weaving baskets asked the child leading the way in front of him after looking at Fei Lun with a scrutinizing gaze.
"Third grandfather, they're here to find my grandfather!" Mao Dan said with a smile.
"Oh~" The old man nodded and stopped talking.
"Mao Dan, it turns out that your grandfather is the village chief!" Wei Yu suddenly realized.
"Hehehe~~" Mao Dan smiled slyly.
Under the leadership of Mao Dan, Fei Lun and his two apprentices came to the outside of a courtyard surrounded by cyan striped stones.
"Grandpa, grandpa, someone is looking for you!" pushed open the courtyard door, and Mao Dan pulled his neck and shouted.
"Mao Dan, who is looking for grandpa?" Hearing his grandson's shout, an old man with a wrinkled face came out of the house.
"Grandpa, it's these outsiders looking for you!" Mao Dan pointed to Fei Lun behind him with his hand and said.
"Stranger, do you have anything to do with me?" the old village chief asked with a smile after looking Fei Lun up and down.
"Old village chief, our master and apprentice are from Qingyun Mansion, passing by here, I feel that the scenery here is good, so I want to settle here for a while, I don't know if there is an idle homestead in the village, I want to buy a piece to build a few houses!"
"There are no idle homesteads in the village!" said the old village chief, shaking his head.
"Old village chief, think about it again, if you have the owner's homestead, I can buy it for five times the silver!" said Faeron as he stretched out a palm and spread five fingers.
"I promise you, I can hire someone from the village to build me a house for three times my salary, and I will provide three meals a day, and chicken and meat for each meal!" Seeing that the old village chief was a little moved, Fei Lun added another weight.
"Ahem~ I remember that there seems to be an idle homestead on the west side of the village, but I can't make the decision on this matter alone, and I have to ask the village elders to discuss it together!" said the old village chief after a moment of silence.
"Please bother the old village chief, I really like the environment here!" Fei Lun took out a silver ingot of ten taels from his bosom and stuffed it into the old village chief's hand.
The old village chief tossed the silver with his hand, and put it in his arms without a trace.
"Mao Dan, go and invite a few clan elders from the village, just say that I have something important to discuss with them!" the old village chief turned his head to Mao Dan and said.
"Forget it, I'll go to a few clan elders to discuss in person, strangers, you sit at my house for a while, and I'll be back soon!" After speaking, the old village chief hurriedly left with Mao Dan.
"Master, the contrast between him and before and after is too great, isn't it?" Looking at the old village chief who left in a hurry, Wei Yu didn't understand very much.
"It's all poor people, it's hard to have an opportunity to make money, how can they let it go so easily!" said Faeron, with a sigh.
"Master, aren't you afraid that they will open their mouths and let you pay a sky-high price to buy a homestead?" Wei Qing asked.
"This old village chief is a smart man, and smart people know the truth of a long stream. Faren said with a smile.
"Besides, the silver is in our hands, and if their asking price is too high, we can walk away!
"Oh yes!" Wei Qing nodded.
As Fei Lun expected, there was not much time, and the old village chief came back with a smile on his face.
"Stranger, I discussed with the clan elders in the village, and the clan elders agreed in principle to sell the idle homestead in the west of the village to you, but the clan elders also put forward a few conditions, if you agree to these conditions, I can take you to the homestead to see it now, if you don't agree, you should have never been to our village. The old village chief said with some embarrassment.
He accepted Feren's money, but he didn't get things done, which made him embarrassed to face Feren.
"I don't know what conditions the clan elders have proposed?" asked Feren noncommittally.
"The clan elders mean that although our Anqing Village is small, we can't tolerate people who commit adultery and criminals, and if you have a case, we will never let you settle here. Also, the clan elders want you to pay the villagers on the same day when you hire them. The old village chief said the conditions put forward by the clan elders.
"Old village chief, don't worry, we don't have a case on us, we won't cause trouble for the village, and as for the clan elders' request for the settlement of wages on the same day, there is no problem. Fei Lun could understand the concerns of the clan elders and said with a smile.
"That's good! That's good! Stranger, I'll take you to the idle homestead in the west of the village to have a look!" Hearing that Fei Lun agreed to the conditions put forward by the clan elders, the smile on the old village chief's face increased.
"Old village chief, we will be villagers of the same village from now on, and you can't call me a foreigner anymore. Faren said with a smile.
"My name is Fei Lun, and I am a doctor with good medical skills, these are my two apprentices, the older one is Wei Qing, and the younger one is Wei Yu. Fei Lun briefly introduced himself and his two apprentices.
"I didn't expect you to be a doctor, this time the people in the village are blessed, and if you have a headache and brain fever, you don't need to go to the county seat to find a doctor!" the old village chief patted his thigh and said excitedly.
"When I settle down, people in the village can come to me to see a doctor and get medicine when they are sick!" said Faeron with a smile.
As they spoke, several people passed through the village and came to the idle homestead on the west side of the village.
The homestead is located in the westernmost part of the village, and further west is a wooded area that spreads down from the nearby hills.
At this time, a group of villagers were standing at the homestead, led by several very old men.
Even if the old village chief didn't introduce him, Fei Lun could guess that these very old men were the clan elders of the village.
