Chapter 429 - The Volunteer Takes the Bait
Chi Zhongtian nodded and said: "What you said makes sense, but I believe that there will be a day when she can truly change her ways. From now on, you should not always target her. Things will turn against each other. If this continues, when the time comes,
It’s easy to cause trouble.”
Ao Shuangxue smiled, and then said: "Okay, I'll listen to you. In fact, I want to go to her and apologize right now."
"That's not necessary. By the way, where is the manager, have you seen him?"
"I saw it. He might be drinking tea in the living room."
Chi Zhongtian thought for a moment and said, "You go and have a rest first. I'll go talk to the manager about something."
"You go ahead."
After Chi Zhongtian came to the living room, he saw War Eagle sitting alone on a chair with several small teacups placed on the small table in front of him.
"It's quite leisurely and elegant." Chi Zhongtian walked over and said with a smile.
War Eagle looked up and saw Chi Zhongtian, stood up and nodded slightly to say hello, and then said: "The good tea I just got is said to be the rare Dahongpao."
"Haha, you are in luck. By the way, have Magistrate Hu's affairs been arranged?" Chi Zhongtian asked seriously.
War Eagle poured the tea and said: "It has been arranged. I asked Wu Yang and Ziyu to follow them. In addition, I also have an old friend of mine in Lin'an City. I wrote a letter and asked Ziyu to deliver it to him when he arrived.
He might be able to help."
"Okay, this way, this matter will be much safer." Chi Zhongtian said with a smile.
"Come, have some tea!"
"Okay, have a drink and I'll have a taste of this Dahongpao."
"By the way, you go out with me tomorrow." Chi Zhongtian suddenly remembered something.
War Eagle asked: "Where to go?"
"There is a place called Duyang Village outside Shezhou City. There are some bandits and bandits there, which have caused a lot of trouble for Magistrate Hu. Let's go there tomorrow and have some fun." Chi Zhongtian said with a smile.
War Eagle asked: "Just the two of us going? Do you know the situation there?"
"It's just the two of us, it's just a group of bandits. When we get there, talk first, and if you can't make sense, fight until they obey." Chi Zhongtian said with confidence.
"Sir, I often say that you must convince people with virtue..."
"Stop it, Mr. Manager, please don't give me drugs here. Convincing people with virtue won't hurt anyone." Before Zhan Ying could finish his words, Chi Zhongtian interrupted him.
Zhan Ying shook his head helplessly and said, "Okay, since that's the case, I won't say more. I'll go with the young master tomorrow."
At half past midnight the next morning, Chi Zhongtian and Zhan Ying set off.
The two rode horses and walked out of the west gate of Shezhou City. Then they inquired along the way and arrived at Duyang Village.
Chi Zhongtian and Zhan Ying got off their horses and led them towards the village. It could be seen that every village in Shezhou City was very clean, which proved that this place was indeed good.
After walking for a while, Chi Zhongtian found that some villagers couldn't help but point when they saw the two of them. It's no wonder that the two grown men were holding the horses, and they were still strangers. The most important thing was that Chi Zhongtian had nothing on his back.
He was still carrying a sword, and Wu Yang was carrying two fishing rods on his shoulders.
"Old man, I want to ask you something, where is the Duyang River." Chi Zhongtian saw an old man under the tree in front of him, so he walked over and asked.
The old man raised his head and looked at Chi Zhongtian. Instead of answering his words, he asked, "Why are you asking about Duyang River?"
"Old man, you don't have to worry. We are not bad people. We are entrusted by others to come here to make decisions for the people of Duyang Village." Chi Zhongtian said with a smile.
Hearing this, the old man suddenly stood up, opened his eyes wide and asked: "Call for us? What call?"
Chi Zhongtian said: "I heard that this river is the livelihood of the village, but now it has been occupied by evil people. We are here to help you drive them away!"
"Young man! Are you telling the truth?" The old man didn't seem to believe it.
Chi Zhongtian nodded and said, "It's absolutely true."
When the old man heard what Chi Zhongtian said, he looked up and down again, and then said: "Young man, let's forget it. They are so vicious that they can't even be controlled by the Yamen. Just the two of you, you might suffer a loss.
.”
Hearing the old man's words, Chi Zhongtian waved his hand and said, "Old man, you don't have to worry, just take us there."
Hearing that Chi Zhongtian was so confident, the old man stopped saying anything: "Okay, you follow me. Remember, if you really want to suffer a loss, run away!"
The villagers here seem to be very simple and honest. Although their words are not so heroic, they make people feel very friendly.
"Don't worry. By the way, don't say anything about it in advance. It would be bad if they hear about it." Chi Zhongtian warned.
"good!"
After saying that, the old man led the way, and Chi Zhongtian and Zhan Ying followed behind with their horses.
After walking for a while, the three of them came to the front of a small forest. At this time, the old man pointed in front and said: "You go through this forest, which is where you cross the Yang River. I won't go there. At my age, I can't go there."
It’s of no use at all, but it’s still a burden.”
The old man's words were very reasonable, and Chi Zhongtian agreed: "Okay, then you can go back first. I will finish the work later and let them go to the village to tell everyone in person."
"Hey!" The old man agreed, turned around and left.
After the old man left, Chi Zhongtian took off the sword from his back, tied it to his horse, and then walked forward with War Eagle.
After passing through the woods, a small river appeared in front of us. When we got closer, we couldn't say it was crystal clear, but it was very clean. The sound of the water flow was not loud. Looking at the direction of the water flow, Chi Zhongtian said:
"Did you see that this is the lower reaches of the river? No wonder there are so many fish and shrimps."
War Eagle chuckled and said, "That's right."
"Come on, Mr. Steward, let's have a fishing competition today to see who catches more, how about it?" Chi Zhongtian said with a smile after Chi Zhongtian and Zhan Ying tied their horses respectively.
"Haha, when it comes to fishing, you young people can't compare to us." War Eagle said as he handed a fishing rod to Chi Zhongtian.
After Chi Zhongtian took it, he said, "That's not necessarily true. You'll know after you try it."
"By the way, we didn't bring any bait." War Eagle suddenly slapped his head and said in annoyance.
"It's okay. It's fine without bait. Let's just dig some earthworms on the spot. I see that this place is quite humid. There should be a lot of earthworms on the ground."
After Chi Zhongtian finished speaking, he picked up a branch from the ground and pierced it several times. Sure enough, he found a lot of earthworms.
