Chapter 30: Acting
"I can't hide it from you."
An Wenjian sighed lightly, began to tell his "experience", and by the way, he also told the content of his conversation with Li Shishi, and finally asked his daughter to go to the school with the children in the village.
“…… It's not impossible to let your daughter go with you. ”
The village chief pondered for a moment and said, "It's just that, just like Fourteen said, the villagers of that village are not very easy to talk to, and if I don't give a little benefit, they may not agree." ”
"Totally understandable."
An Wenjian nodded pretending to be convinced, and said seriously: "Because my daughter joined and caused the loss of the village, I will bear it alone." Besides, the village has done me such a great favor that I can't say anything if I don't do anything. Recently, if someone in the village is sick, I can help heal him. There is also medicine, and I can provide some as well. ”
"Just help treat the disease, you don't need to send medicine, I will let the people in the village pay for it."
The village chief shook his head: "You still have a daughter to raise, and you can't suffer too much." ”
"Thank you for your understanding."
An Wenjian bowed his head slightly to express his gratitude: "I will set a suitable price for the medicinal materials." ”
"I thank you on behalf of the villagers."
The village chief said politely and continued to ask, "What are your plans next, do you want to live in our village temporarily, or directly join the village where the school is located?" Although the people in that village are not very good at talking to outsiders, they are very good to their own people who have joined the village. Of course, not just anyone can join, and if you have that idea, I can vouch for you. ”
"I wonder what the land near that village is?"
An Wenjian asked: "Previously, my travel expenses were all obtained through business. If I want to settle down temporarily, I would like to try to grow some herbs to make ends meet. ”
"In terms of land, it must be better near our village."
The village chief replied first, and then asked, "But why don't you continue to sell cloth?" I see that the cloth you took out earlier is of very high quality, and as long as you sell three or five rolls a year, you can not worry about food and clothing. ”
"Those cloths, although of extremely high quality, are expensive and sell slowly."
An Wenjian continued to talk nonsense: "The ones in my bag now are the ones I have sold over the years." It takes a year to resupply the goods in a distant village. ”
"So far?"
The village chief was stunned: "What's so special about this Bu Mofei?" ”
An Wenjian did not answer directly: "Do you know, what kind of material is generally used to weave cloth?" ”
"What else could it be, nothing more than cotton, linen and silk..."
The village chief's voice suddenly became smaller, and after bowing his head for a few seconds, he suddenly raised his head: "What kind of material is your cloth?" ”
"Looks like you've noticed."
"Four years ago, I passed through a valley and found a village in it. Every family there raises a large eight-legged insect with a white body. The cloth was woven from the silk that the worm spits out. ”
"Eight-legged, white, spinning ......"
The village chief lowered his head in thought, then raised his head and asked, "You shouldn't be talking about 'dots', right?" ”
After asking, he immediately denied himself: "But the dots are very small, and the silk spit out will stick together, and there is no way to weave cloth at all." ”
"I initially thought it was a dot, but the difference in size was too big."
An Wen pretended to know the dots: "The big bugs there, each one is bigger than our head." ”
"It really can't be a dot."
The village chief tried to imagine what An Wen had said, and nodded.
At this time, Li Shishi boiled the medicine and brought it over.
An Wenjian took the initiative to scoop out a spoonful and drank it.
Li Shishi's mouth opened, but he couldn't say anything.
The village chief nodded silently.
Afterwards, Li Shishi blew the medicine and slowly fed his mother to drink.
An Wenjian knew that his medicine was effective, but he didn't know if it was more effective than the medicine of this world, and he was a little nervous at this time.
Fortunately, after a bowl, although Li Shishi's mother did not jump around immediately, her original painful expression gradually eased and fell into a deep sleep.
The village chief sat silently on the edge of the bed, checked Li Shishi's mother's pulse, and after a while, put it down: "Your mother's pulse has stabilized, and you can recover after a few days of rest." ”
Hearing this, Li Shishi's whole body softened, turned into a repeater, and continued to chant: Great, great......
The village chief shook his head and reminded him, "Silly boy, have you forgotten something?" ”
Li Shishi looked up in confusion, and when he saw An Wenjian, he immediately reacted: "Ah! Brother Ann, I'm sorry, I'm ......"
"It's fine."
An Wenjian raised his hand with a smile and pressed it down, signaling Li Shishi to calm down: "When you boiled the medicine just now, I already told the village chief. ”
"Huh? This... What's wrong with me? So how can I thank you? ”
Li Shishi was stunned and said, "Otherwise, I'll give you back that silk scarf." ”
As he spoke, he took out the silk scarf.
"No!"
An Wen quickly pressed Li Shishi's hand: "Without the fourteen brothers, I wouldn't be able to communicate with the village chief so smoothly, that's what you deserve." ”
"But..."
What else did Li Shiv want to say.
"But what is it, people ask you to take it, you can take it!"
The village chief got up to leave, and said to An Wenjian, "Come with me, and stay in my house until you find a place to live in the village." ”
"Huh?"
Li Shishi was stunned again: "Village chief, Brother An said before that he lived in my house!" ”
"Your home? There isn't even a guest room, do you want to sleep on the floor by yourself or let your mother sleep on the floor? ”
The village chief said angrily: "Take care of your mother, and think about something else!" ”
Li Shishi stopped talking.
"Brother Fourteen, thanks to you today, I successfully let Xiaofu go to the school."
An Wen saw goodbye: "Another day, my aunt recovers, and I will come to thank you again." ”
After speaking, he left with the village chief.
Li Shishi looked at the direction of the gate and muttered in a low voice: "The person who should say thank you is me..."
The village chief took An Wenjian all the way to the center of the village, where the largest and best houses in the village were located. Unlike most of the other wooden houses in the village, this one is a brick and timber structure and has two floors.
"This is my home. Usually my wife and I live alone, there are three empty rooms on the second floor, you choose one. ”
The village chief briefly introduced: "You saved the fourteenth mother, I thank you on his behalf, you can live as long as you want." My wife and I have a bite to eat, and we won't let you go hungry. ”
"That's not going to work."
An Wenjian resolutely refused: "It's not that I don't have the ability to make money, there is no way to live here with you temporarily, how can I eat you." ”
The village chief saw An Wenjian's serious face, and then looked at An Xiaofu's expression staring at him behind him, and suddenly understood something, smiled and nodded: "Whatever you want, it just so happens that I don't have to be nagged by the old woman." ”
In this way, An Wenjian settled in the village.
In the follow-up conversation, An Wenjian learned that this village is called "Hehe Village", and the current village chief is the founder of the village, and he himself came out of another nearby village.
When the sun set, An Wen saw that he and An Xiaofu had dinner and came to the room on the second floor.
An Xiaofu quickly took out a palm-sized array disk and injected spiritual power to activate.
"Smell!"
The little girl seemed to hold back for a long time: "Why are you inferior to two mortals?!" ”
