Chapter 77 The Uninvited Guest
Chapter 77 Uninvited Guest
The old village chief said thoughtfully, "I really don't have a say in this."
"You are the head of a village, who dares not to listen to what you say?" said the head of Zhouzhuang Village.
"Let me tell you the truth, I did not organize this hunting team and picking team, and I am not that capable," said the old village chief.
"Who is that? Who can bring so many people into the mountains? Can he afford it? This is a human life!" Zhouzhuang Village Chief asked eagerly.
"I don't like hearing what you say. You go to the mountains voluntarily. If anything happens, your life will be yours. How can you let others take the responsibility?" The old village chief didn't want to be tied up by them, even if Xiao Lan agreed to take people there.
, he had to say something ugly first, and with Xiao Lan’s character, he thought she would agree. After all, Xiao Lan’s thoughts were very correct in the face of big issues of right and wrong.
She hates seeing others suffer, but she is not unprincipled either.
But it was probably because he saw that Tiezhu and his family were repentant that Xiao Lan didn't do anything to save her.
"Yes, yes, it's all voluntary to go to the mountains." When the village chief of Zhouzhuang heard what the old village chief said, he immediately changed his mind. Now that he can agree to let Lijiacun take several of their villages into the mountains, that's fine. He
I don't want to make matters worse.
"Can the old village chief give me a recommendation?" They lowered their bodies and the old village chief sighed. Indeed, the people in every village are similar.
Living on the mountain but unable to enter the mountain, guarding the treasure mountain in vain, this kind of suffering is felt by everyone.
At such an old age, he knows more about human nature. It is not that Lijia Village has no contact with other villages. Many people from other villages have married into Lijia Village, and some from Lijia Village have also married into other villages, so that the married people can live a better life.
At one point, the old village chief didn't want to favor one over the other, but he just didn't know if Xiao Lan could accept it.
Maybe if he can refuse once, the situation Lijiacun will face next time will be very dangerous. Maybe he will be squeezed out and isolated, or even robbed.
The population of Lijia Village is the smallest among the four villages, and it was also the poorest village before.
The old village chief stuck the ashes in the smoke pot, as if he had made a decision, looked at their eager eyes, and said to them, "Come with me."
Upon hearing what the old village chief said, the four village chiefs were all extremely excited.
"Let's make an agreement first. Don't say bad things to people when you meet them. Talk to the good ones. I persuaded Xiao Lan to take the people of Lijia Village hunting, but I also lowered my profile. If you have a bad attitude, Xiao Lan will not pay attention to you."
The old village chief warned again.
"Okay, brother, we all listen to you." The village chiefs are all good people and understand the world.
"Let's go then." He led a few people to Xiao Lan's house.
Xiao Lan took a rest and was preparing the ingredients for dinner. Zaizai and Erni were practicing catching fish again, and they almost caught a fish just now.
But the tip of the wood only scratched the body of the fish, and the big fish slipped away again.
At this moment, Zaizai was a little angry. He pouted his mouth and aimed at a slightly smaller fish. He threw the wooden pole hard and suddenly the fish was stuck in the soil at the bottom of the water.
Pulling out the wood, he happily said to Erni, "Sister Erni, look, I caught a fish, but it's not as big as the one just now."
"Yu'er, this is much better than before. Several fish slipped out of my hand just now. It's great. You can drink from the fish pond again tonight. Come on, put the fish in the wooden basin. I just fish it out.
We got some small shrimps but not a single fish." Erni said happily.
"Then let's catch more shrimps. The shrimp balls made by my mother are delicious." Zaizai thought of the taste of the shrimp balls made by his mother and licked his mouth. The taste was really amazing, so fresh.
"Well, let's keep working hard!" Erni excitedly went to fish it up again.
"Sister Erni, the old village chief is here." Yu'er saw several figures in the distance, and the one at the front was the old village chief.
"Grandpa, village chief, are you here to see my mother?" He greeted the old village chief all the way away. In the past, the old village chief's grandfather also gave him food in the village.
"Yes, is your mother at home?" The old village chief was not sure, so he asked.
"Yes, mother is at home."
Several village chiefs saw that the clothes worn by this child were neat and clean, without a patch, and the little girl next to him was wearing clothes made of printed fabrics. This kind of clothes was not used in the village.
Floral fabrics are much more expensive than ordinary fabrics, and few people can afford to wear them.
"Brother, is that girl from Xiao Lan's family?" Zhouzhuang Village Chief asked.
"The boy is from the Xiao Lan family, and the girl is from the Li Musheng family."
"Ah, look at the girl wearing a dress made of floral cloth. The floral cloth is very expensive. The girl's family seems to be living well."
"What do you know? Xiao Lan bought the flower cloth that the girl is wearing because when Xiao Lan's family was in trouble, Li Musheng's wife had been taking care of them. When Li Musheng was gone, a widow with a son and a daughter still took care of Xiao Lan and the girl.
Little boy, Xiao Lan got better later, and of course she will not forget her original benefactor. You will know when you meet Xiao Lan later, she is a person who knows how to repay kindness." The old village chief said while walking around.
"Is there anything else?" It seems that I need to find someone to inquire about it after I get back. This Xiao Lan was so generous in giving the girl's flower cloth.
"Well, our village all knows." The old village chief said, there is nothing that cannot be said. Xiao Lan is a good woman. Now that she can bring the whole village to eat, she is even more kind to Lijia Village, and their Lijia Village is also
Will not forget.
"Xiao Lan is kind to Lijia Village. If it weren't for her, the people in the village would have a hard time this winter." The old village chief directly put Xiao Lan in the position of benefactor, making the people in the four villages more afraid and not to bully others.
Ha ha.
"Old village chief, if this can happen, she will also be the benefactor of several of our villages."
As they talked, they arrived at the door of Xiao Lan's house. When they saw the stone house built by Xiao Lan, they looked like a rich man!
The courtyard walls were all made of stones, with neatly cut stone slabs. They had never seen such a courtyard wall built before.
The houses in several of their villages also have stone houses, which are built with stones and surrounded by thorn wood walls.
The courtyard gate was cut by Xiao Lan from tall trees. It is a very large gate.
The door was open, but the old village chief stood at the door and knocked with the bolt.
"Xiao Lan, is Xiao Lan at home?"
"Old village chief?" Xiao Lan was surprised, why did the old village chief come? When she saw the four people standing next to the old village chief, she understood that the three people who left at noon must have gone back to talk.
These four people were all from other villages, and she remembered the faces and names of all the people in Lijiacun. After all, she lived in Lijiacun, and she had a deeper impression of everyone.
She didn't recognize the four people in front of the old village chief and behind them. She had never seen them before.
