Chapter 11: Becoming the Village Chief

On the small porcelain vase, there is a red label with five large black characters written on the label, [First-Order Rejuvenation Pill]. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Lu Jianping opened the small porcelain bottle and sniffed it gently.

In an instant, a fragrant breath lifted Lu Jianping's spirits, and Lu Jianping had an illusion, as if the injuries suffered by his body were greatly improved in an instant.

Lu Jianping knew that this was just an illusion, but he couldn't help but smile.

The first-order rejuvenation pill is a very common pill that works to recover from trauma, which is similar to the effect of Jinchuang medicine.

It's just that there is a fundamental difference between the monk's elixir and the golden medicine used by mortals.

The Golden Creation Pill can only increase the healing speed of the injury, while the Rejuvenation Pill directly recovers the injury.

Lu Jianping did not hesitate to put a first-order rejuvenation pill into his mouth.

The pill melted in his mouth, and then transformed into a cool breath, gradually gathering towards the sword wound on his chest.

The sword wound on his chest, moistened by this cool breath, recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye.

A minute later, the effect of the medicine was exhausted, and Lu Jianping's wound was reduced by more than one percent.

Under the excitement, Lu Jianping took the first-order Rejuvenation Pill one after another, and at the same time that the Rejuvenation Pill was exhausted, the injuries on Lu Jianping's body were also completely recovered.

Lu Jianping casually threw the small porcelain vase on the ground, then turned around and walked towards his residence.

Although the house has been completely burned down, Lu Jianping still feels that his small courtyard is more comfortable.

Even though he could only sit on the stone slab in the courtyard, without comfortable tables and stools and warm beds, Lu Jianping still felt that his small courtyard was the most beautiful.

Just as Lu Jianping was about to leave, the surrounding villagers attracted Lu Jianping's attention.

Obviously, these villagers saw that the matter was over, so they came to the scene of the incident and prepared to clean up the mess.

Lu Jianping looked at the villagers who were standing aside, not daring to act rashly, and sighed helplessly.

"The village chief and Wang Xiaoer, after all, they are from our Taoyuan Village, you can find a place and bury their bodies!"

If it had been before, these villagers would have done it a long time ago to clean up the corpses at the scene.

But now, after Lu Jianping became a monk, the attitude of these villagers towards Lu Jianping has changed dramatically.

They looked at Lu Jianping's gaze, full of fear, not at all casual.

Looking at the villagers who didn't dare to breathe, Lu Jianping was a little sad.

It has become impossible to get along well, Lu Jianping is a monk, the villagers are mortals, and the two worlds of different classes have completely separated Lu Jianping from the villagers.

"Obey, Lord Lu Jianping!"

A few villagers who were familiar with Lu Jianping bowed their hands to Lu Jianping with a little fear, and then quickly followed Lu Jianping's instructions.

It didn't take long for the bodies of the village chief and Wang Xiaoer to be carried away from the rubble.

Mortals in this world, without any status, are not qualified to hold funerals at all.

After death, most mortals will be buried hastily, and only a few mortals who have a better life will use the luxury of coffins for burial.

The village chief and Wang Xiaoer did not prepare the coffin in advance, so the villagers could only dig a pit and bury their bodies directly.

"The village chief's family is not engaged in production, and this money must be the people's fat and ointment that the village chief has scavenged from the villagers for many years. I don't take a penny, how to distribute it, you can discuss it!"

Faced with such a large amount of money, Lu Jianping couldn't help but feel a little moved.

However, after only thinking for a few seconds, Lu Jianping completely extinguished the greed in his heart.

These money are ill-gotten gains looted by the village chief, and they should be returned to the people of Taoyuan Village. Relying on strength to take it for oneself is really unjustifiable.

Listening to Lu Jianping's words, the villagers all smiled in surprise.

"Thank you, Lord Lu Jianping!"

"Lord Lu Jianping is really a good person!"

"Lord Lu Jianping, will you stay and be our village chief?"

"Lord Lu Jianping, please have mercy on us, don't abandon Taoyuan Village!"

......

The villagers of Taoyuan Village have an annual income of only three or five taels of silver. The silver left by the village chief is almost one hundred and seventy taels, which is definitely a huge amount of money for the villagers.

Stimulated by this huge amount of money, the hearts of the villagers became full of fire.

When the villagers first started, they just exchanged their heads with each other and whispered praise to Lu Jianping's character.

But later, after listening to the proposal of a certain villager, everyone knelt on the ground and asked Lu Jianping to stay in Taoyuan Village as the village head.

Facing the expectant eyes of the villagers, Lu Jianping hesitated for a moment and nodded lightly.

"I will protect you from the bullies of the ruffians, so that you will not be attacked by beasts, so that you can live freely. Of course, that's all I can do. I will devote most of my time to cultivation, and I will not deal with trivial matters in the village, and these small problems can only be solved by yourself. ”

After Lu Jianping finished speaking, he ignored the reactions of the villagers, turned around and walked towards his residence.

The villagers and Lu Jianping have already developed a strong estrangement, and it is impossible to talk cordially.

There is no point in staying.

After listening to Lu Jianping's answer, the villagers showed a smile of surprise.

After seeing Lu Jianping leave, the villagers immediately cheered loudly.

"Lord Lu Jianping, it's great that you have agreed to be our village head!"

"With the protection of Lord Lu Jianping, from now on, our Taoyuan Village will surpass other villages and become the number one village in Zixu Town!"

"In the future, if there is a drought and no rain, and various villages compete for water sources to irrigate farmland, we Taoyuan Village will have priority. From now on, we will never be afraid of a great drought again!"

"With Lord Lu Jianping as the village head, and Zixu Town repairing bridges and paving roads, we can ignore it. Once upon a time, each of us had to do conscription, and for some years we spent more time in the conscription than we did at home. Dying of exhaustion and sickness is a common occurrence, and from now on, we finally don't have to fear forced labor!"

......

The villagers talked about the benefits one after another, and some of the excited men even took off their coats and began to shout loudly shirtless.

The villagers of Taoyuan Village, both men and women, young and old, were extremely excited.

At this moment, Taoyuan Village is filled with joy, and it seems that in an instant, it has become a paradise on earth.

Although Lu Jianping had already left far away, he also heard the laughter of the villagers.

A faint smile appeared on Lu Jianping's cheek.

In the past three years, from strange to familiar, Taoyuan Village has become Lu Jianping's second hometown.

To be able to do something for Taoyuan Village, Lu Jianping also felt very honored.
