Chapter 232: Debunking
"Village chief? What are you here to do? Aunt Zhou got up early in the morning and was feeding the chickens in the yard, and when she saw the village chief coming, she quickly wiped her hands on the bib a few times, "You sit down first, I'll pour a glass of water." ”
Shu Jue and a few people used a concealment charm, but she didn't see it.
Aunt Zhou came out with warm water, "Village Chief, is something wrong?" She saw that the village chief's face was not very good, and she suddenly chuckled in her heart.
It can't be Xiao Yi, right? She watched it this morning, and Xiao Yi was still tied to the bed by her and didn't move.
"No, it's just that the village hasn't been peaceful lately...... Alas! The village chief took a sip of warm water and looked around: "Where is Xiaoyi?" Why didn't you see that child? ”
He is a well-known good man in the village, and he will try his best to help anyone in the village who is in trouble and wants to help.
At the beginning, Aunt Zhou's house was almost unable to open the pot, Xiaoyi was growing her body, and the village chief saw that it was not easy for her to take care of the child alone, so he discussed it with some people in the village, scraped together some money, and bought two little lambs at the cheapest price in a family in the village.
In the past, everyone in the village had a hard time, and it was under the leadership of the village chief that the village got better and better, and Aunt Zhou was grateful to the village chief in her heart.
But when it comes to her own children, Aunt Zhou thought about it, and finally decided to hide Xiaoyi's affairs.
She smiled unnaturally: "Xiao Yi is not in good health for a while, so now he is resting in the house." ”
"Uncomfortable? Then you have to pay attention, Xiaoyi's child can also get married, and it is not easy to find a daughter-in-law when this body is not good. ”
The custom in the south is that men have twenty crowns of hair, and only after the crown hair is considered to be an official adult.
Although most people get married early, it's not uncommon for them to start a family in their twenties.
Therefore, although Xiao Yi is nearly twenty years old, he is still not married, but he has just looked at the girl from the neighboring village before.
Aunt Zhou is not very satisfied with the girl, the girl is also seventeen or eighteen years old, I heard that she is lazy at home, and she can't find her husband's family so she hasn't married until now.
Her Xiaoyi doesn't say anything else, she can't take an ancestor back when she marries a wife, right?
The smile on her face was a little reluctant: "Xiao Yi's grade is not very old, this is not the recent examination of lifting people, my idea is that it is not too late to wait for him to be admitted to the examination and then marry a wife." ”
Now although Nanguo has implemented the cultivation of immortals for the whole people, it has not left behind the study, but has only added the cultivation of immortals to the assessment, which has become an additional martial arts examination; Half of the total score of each station in the literary examination and martial arts examination is summarized to rank.
The village chief nodded, and said nothing more.
Xiao Yi he knows, that child has always studied well, and he became a talent at the age of fifteen, so normally there is no problem in taking the exam.
But now, I just don't know if what Shujue saw and guessed last night is true.
The village chief sighed lowly: "Is that child very sick Xiao Yi?" In the past, if the village chief came over, Xiao Yi would come out to receive him with a smile, but now that they have been talking here for so long, they haven't come out yet, and the village chief's heart sank little by little.
"yes, he's very sick." Aunt Zhou's sad face is not fake, she only hopes that Xiaoyi can get better sooner, and she feels that she can't hide it after a long time.
"Then I'll leave first, and when Xiaoyi recovers, you can talk to me, and I'll come to see him then." The village chief drank the warm water and got up to leave.
"Where is he worthy of you to come and see him for yourself? When he's well, I'll let him go to your house to report his safety. Aunt Zhou breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to send the village chief away.
Before the man reached the gate of the courtyard, he suddenly heard a roar coming from the house.
Like a beast, hoarse and ugly, with a murderous aura.
"What sound?" The village chief reacted faster than Mrs. Zhou, and when she heard the sound, she rushed into the house in three steps and two steps, and Mrs. Zhou wanted to stop him, but she was one step too late, so she could only watch him enter the house.
"This ......" Following the source of the voice, the village chief went to Xiao Yi's room, and when he saw Xiao Yi on the bed, he couldn't help but gasp.
"The village chief...... Xiao Yi is sick, he will be fine soon. Aunt Zhou ran in and hurriedly blocked in front of the village chief, lowering the bed curtain to block the view.
But the curtain of the bed could not stop the sound of the hair coming out of it, and listening to the beast-like roar coming from the bed, the village chief's legs were a little weak.
"You say...... Is this Xiao Yi? "How can it be Xiao Yi? Xiao Yi is such a clean child, the person lying on the bed is not Xiao Yi, it's a monster!
"Sister Zhou, you ...... You're confused! The village chief's eyebrows were about to twist together, "It's all like this, do you still want to hide it from us?" Tell me honestly, did he kill your sheep! ”
"No, it's not...... It's not Xiao Yi, what a good child my Xiao Yi is, when he came back from the school when he was a child, he would help me work, he knew that it was not easy at home, how could he kill his own sheep? Aunt Zhou's eyes were red, and she spoke in a heavy nasal voice, and she reached out to grab the village chief's sleeve:
"Village chief, I beg you, please don't tell other people in the village about this first, when Xiaoyi is well, when Xiaoyi is well, I will take him to the door to thank you, okay, please, village chief!"
As she spoke, she knelt down in the direction of the village chief and kowtowed a few times: "Village chief, you also watched our Xiaoyi grow up, what a good child he is!" "If Xiao Yi's matter is known to the other villagers, then what will they do to Xiao Yi?
They will definitely send Xiao Yi to the official mansion, and Xiao Yi's life will be over!
"Sister Zhou, you know me, as the village chief of the village, how can I ......" No matter how much he likes Xiaoyi, he can't be favoritism! This might hurt the whole village!
"Sister Zhou, I will say more good things for Xiaoyi in front of others, this matter should be regarded as a matter of our village, and it will not go to the government." The village chief gritted his teeth, this was already the biggest concession in his selfishness.
After all, there is still a resignation there, and fortunately, the widow who died has no relatives, otherwise she may not know how to make trouble.
"Village Chief......" Aunt Zhou looked at the village chief, her mouth slightly open, and she didn't understand why he was so ruthless.
"You take good care of Xiaoyi." The village chief couldn't bear to look at her red eyes, and turned to leave.
Before he turned around, Mrs. Zhou grabbed a stick next to him and knocked it towards the back of his head.
At this time, she had only one thought in her heart: she couldn't let the village chief tell Xiaoyi's affairs!
The village chief heard the movement behind him and wanted to dodge.
Seeing that it was too late, Shu Jue tore off the concealment charm on her body and snatched the wooden stick from Aunt Zhou's hand.
"Sister Zhou, what are you doing here?" The village chief looked at Aunt Zhou who fell to the ground in disbelief, and his eyes were full of pain.
