Chapter Thirty-Seven: The Old Village Chief Finds Another Way
Facing the warmest touch of sunshine in the morning light, the wind opened his hands a little, as if he had a feeling of relaxation and happiness.
"Wow, that's comfortable. ”
At this time, Shen He walked over, and it seemed that he had just woken up.
The two of them stood in front of the fence on the second floor, watching the villagers busy below.
"Look at how happy they are!" Although the life of sunrise and sunset is hard, there is still a home to some extent, but Xiaoxiao and Uncle have been sleeping in the open for many years, and the sky is used as a bed on the ground, and they are still very envious of the people here.
"It's a blessing, but I think of something interesting. Looking at their busy figures, Shen He replied with a smile
"Don't sell it, say it. ”
"They envy our world, but we want their lives, so you say, is it interesting?"
Feng Xiaoxiao thought about it, it seemed that this was really the case.
At this moment, a child ran from below, full of vigor and smiling very brightly, and it was very endearing at first glance: "Little sister, Brother Shen He, are you awake?"
"Yes, good morning, Yangyang. Feng Xiaoxiao waved his hand and responded with a smile.
"Good morning, Yangyang. Shen He also said hello, they all like this kid very much.
Although they have only known each other for a few days, Yang Yang is really likable, especially loves to laugh, and gives people a warm feeling.
He is also very loving, and his physique is also very special, he is the only one-star spiritual cultivator in the village, and if he has enough resources, he may be able to cultivate to the spirit master realm in the future.
"Good morning brother and sister, give, then. Yang Yang took out two fresh milky white pears from his arms, carefully wiped them on his body, and threw them upstairs.
'Whew!'
"Thank you, Yangyang. ”
"It's okay, I'll go over and help first!" After speaking, Yangyang went to the direction of the village entrance.
There are only about 20 families in the village, all of them are lonely old people and children, and most of the young people have gone to the towns to earn a living.
The village's economic source is all from the old salt pans that have worked hard for generations, and most of the salt that can be produced is coarse salt, which cannot be sold at a good price, but it is the only lifeblood of the village, and they all depend on those old salt pans to sustain their lives.
'Let's haw~'
Feng Xiaoxiao took a bite of Sydney, which was milky white and tasted refreshing and sweet.
Looking at the lively figure, her heart was hot: "Hehe, why don't we help Yangyang!"
"How do you want to help?"
"Of course, it's to give him a little resource, and then teach him to cultivate, so that he can avoid detours, otherwise relying on him to ponder, it is estimated that he will not be able to become a spirit master in this life." ”
After listening to this, Shen He turned his head and smiled: "You teach?"
"I, I'm a five-star spirit disciple, what can I teach him, of course you teach, you are so powerful!" Feng Xiaoxiao spread his hands, like a hands-shaking shopkeeper.
"Don't, don't, I'm your defeated man, I can't teach it, you can teach it yourself!" Shen He hurriedly waved his hand and refused.
Feng Xiaoxiao turned her head sharply and looked at him viciously.
"What kind of eyes are you? Am I wrong?"
"No conscience!"
"Why do I have no conscience?"
"Anyway, I lived in someone's village for a few days, and I was still eating the pears picked by Yangyang in your hands, why didn't you understand the gratitude of the newspaper, and I saw through you..."
"No, you can put it all on my head?" Shen He said innocently.
"Is that on my head? Do you want to count it on my uncle's head?"
Looking at the pair of sparkling eyes in front of me, it is thanks to my in-depth understanding after these days, otherwise I don't know how many people have been fooled.
"Gotta get it, count it on my head, but then again, I still don't think I should help Yangyang. ”
"Why?"
"You think, just Uncle Feng, Uncle Feng said, Pifu is not guilty, if we give Yangyang resources, maybe it will hurt him, let people know that there are treasures in this remote village, do you think, there will be peace in the village, who will protect them?"
"It's... Well, I really haven't thought about it!" Feng Xiaoxiao thought about it, and it seemed to be this reason.
"Besides, most of the people in the village are old people, you say how pitiful they are, don't you?"
"A little bit, indeed!"
"That's right, if we help Yangyang, he will go to a bigger place sooner or later, why don't you let Yangyang accompany the old village chief and them more? Yangyang's smile gives the village a lot of vitality, can you bear to break them up too early?" Shen He found that he couldn't be hard with her, otherwise his brain would not be able to turn a corner.
"yes, I didn't think of it, yes, yes, you're right. ”
As soon as he spoke, he saw the old village chief passing by.
"Morning, village chief!"
The old village chief is already full of white hair, cloudy eyes, and a cane, his son died many years ago, in fact, Yangyang is a child picked up by the village chief.
"Miss Feng, Shen Gongzi, did you get up so early?" The old village chief leaned on crutches and looked amiable.
"Yes, our village is so busy today, is the salt collector coming?"
"Yes, the people from Guanyan Ancient City are almost here. After speaking, the old village chief went to the front: "You guys will come over for dinner later, and I will go over to see the situation first." ”
"Okay, village chief, you go slowly. Looking at the old village chief slowly walking towards the entrance of the village, Feng Xiao was puzzled: "Hey, I remember that the village didn't pay tribute to Changsheng Mountain?
Looking at the question mark on her end, Shen He also shook his head and said, "Don't ask me, I don't know." ”
"Let's take a look. ”
"Aren't you called Uncle Shangfeng?"
"Yes, Uncle is too snooze. With that, she ran out of her uncle's house in a rage and knocked for a while.
'Knock Knock~'
"Uncle, uncle, get up, uncle?" Seeing that there was no response, Feng Xiaoxiao pouted and muttered: "This is the rhythm of sleeping to death?"
"Ahem, you should go out!" For the uncle, Shen He has sincere respect, but he doesn't dare to be as open-mouthed as Xiaoxiao.
"Really?" Xiaoxiao pushed hard again but still couldn't push, too hard and afraid of damaging the village house, how bad it was: "Okay, forget it, let's go." ”
At the same time, two miles outside the village on the avenue.
'Da, da~'
I saw seven figures riding forward, led by a young man who was not very old, looking like a scholar and dressed extraordinary.
Parallel to him was a middle-aged man of about fifty years old, who seemed to be a steward, wearing a dress with a pattern engraved on the chest with related characters, and the five subordinates behind him were wearing the same clothes, and their strength was probably some spiritual disciples.
"Second Young Master, this is the realm of the Heavenly Eagle Gang of Changsheng Mountain, is it unbefitting for us to do this?"
"Ouch, you've asked many times, what are you afraid of, it's okay. "The identity of the young man who opened his mouth is not ordinary, it is the second young master of the Guan family's direct clan in Guanyan Ancient City, Guan Xuecheng.
This ancient city of Guanyan, as its name suggests, the Guanjia clan has been entrenched on the banks of the Nu River for hundreds of years, and the salt-making technology is perfect, basically the salt transportation of the entire Nuhe County occupies seven or eight percent.
Guan Xuecheng saw that the middle-aged steward was worried, his face was not very good, and he was relieved: "This village is also quite pitiful, the salt production is getting worse, this is also their only lifeline, the old village chief has begged me many times, hoping that we can collect their salt, in fact, this is also a matter of effort, if you can help, just help!"
"However, this village is in the territory of the Aquila Gang, and their salt can only be handed over to the Aquila Gang, so if we intervene, if we let the Aquila Gang know?"
"It's just a small village, no, besides, we have been living peacefully with the Sky Eagle Gang in Guanyan Ancient City for so many years, there is no need to make a big deal about this trivial matter. ”
"Okay, you call the shots!" said the middle-aged steward, but he sighed secretly in his heart: "I hope so!"
Then, the group of them slowly entered the village, but there were a few well-hidden figures on the mountain col watching closely.
