My master is invincible

Chapter 2045

When Chen Zhongguo heard my question, he didn't seem to understand what I meant, so he asked, "Palace Master, why are you asking this?"

I was anxious, and asked again: "Leave this alone, where is the water in the rice field?"

Before Chen Zhongguo could speak, the village chief spoke first. He said, "We are close to the river, of course it is the river water. Not only our village, but the rice fields in some surrounding villages rely on the river water to feed their crops."

Ok?
At this moment, I was completely stunned. I thought that when we crossed the river, we had already escaped a catastrophe. Unexpectedly, after wandering around, Jiang Xiaoyan finally died indirectly in the river.

I swallowed, still holding a glimmer of hope in my heart, and asked the village chief, "Is the water in the paddy field artificially moved, or..."

Before I could finish speaking, the village head stopped and said, "Of course it's natural. The rice fields in our village are close to the river, because our village's terrain is higher than the river, and there is very little water that can overflow. If there is a drought, , can only open the gate of the river to let the river flow into the rice fields."

As soon as I heard this, I completely eliminated that idea in my heart.

Honestly, I never thought that Jiang Xiaoyan would die in a river.

This... this... this made me tremble all over, and my face sank.

"Palace Master!" Chen Zhongguo looked at me suspiciously, and asked in a low voice, "Did you find something inappropriate?"

I swallowed, and according to my initial thoughts, I must not tell Chen Zhongguo about this matter, but thinking of the consequences of this matter, I decided to tell Chen Zhongguo and the village chief the whole story.

At that moment, I took a deep breath and told everything about Jiang Xiaoyan, including the consequences.

What makes me different is that just after I finished speaking, the village chief actually said, "It's okay, since our Niutou Village agreed to you earlier, no matter what the consequences are, our village has agreed."

Ok?
I was a little distracted, so I said, "Village chief...you don't... think about it any more?"

He gave up and said: "No need, there is nothing wrong with the people of our Niutou Village, there is only one good thing, and that is what we say, and we never break our promises."

"Palace Master!" Chen Zhongguo called me, and said with a smile: "This is the custom of our Niutou Village. Generally, what is said is the water that is poured out, and will never be taken back. Since our Niutou Village promised you earlier, even if things happen If it becomes serious, we will continue to support you in keeping Jiang Xiaoyan's funeral in our village."

"Mr. Chen, if you say this again, you will look down on the people of our Niutou village."

"Yes, although we in Niutou Village are poor, we are poor with ambition and poor with backbone."

"It is necessary. Keeping your word is the soul of our village."

......

All of a sudden, many villagers began to agree.

Listening to them, it would be a lie to say that they are not moved.

I have been to many villages, but this is the first time I have seen a village like this.

Ask yourself, if this happened in my hometown, it would definitely not be decided in such a short time, and the opinions would not be so strikingly similar.

You must know that although there are not many villagers in each village, their hearts are very complicated.

However, in Niutou Village, it seems that there is no such phenomenon.

While this surprised me, I had to admire the prestige of the village chief in this village.

After all, without the leadership of a good village chief, it is impossible for a village to be so united.

Seeing that I didn't speak, Chen Zhongguo probably guessed what I was thinking, and said with a smile: "Palace Master, don't be surprised, our village understands the principle of staying together to survive."

I hummed, thanked the villagers, and said, "Don't worry, everyone, I will do my best in this matter."

The village chief smiled, "Mr. Chen, we should say thank you. As you said before, Jiang Xiaoyan is from our village. It is you who are not afraid of danger and came to help us solve this matter. On behalf of the villagers of the whole village, I would like to thank you. You said thank you last time."

I smiled awkwardly, and didn't know what to say, so I changed the subject and said, "Village chief, time is running out, why don't we bring Jiang Xiaoyan's body to the village first, and Jiang Xiaoyan's parents, Do you expect you to keep it a secret?"

He thought for a while, "Okay! But, Mr. Chen, there is something I have to make clear. This Jiang Xiaoyan died outside and cannot be held in the ancestral house in our village for funerals!"

I nodded and said with a smile: "Don't worry about that, I still know the rules. That's right."

As I said that, I looked towards Chen Zhongguo, "Master Chen, I don't know if your family has an abacus, I want to calculate the zodiac that matches Jiang Xiaoyan's zodiac."

He didn't seem to understand what I meant, and asked puzzledly: "Abacus... abacus? Palace Master, you still need an abacus to calculate your birthday. Generally, coffin bearers who know a little bit do mental calculations!"

I smiled and explained: "That's true, but Jiang Xiaoyan's birthday horoscope is different from ordinary birthday horoscopes, and you must use an abacus to calculate it. By the way, it is best to use an old-style abacus. In addition, find me another one." Brushes, white paper, and a box of cinnabar."

Hearing what I said, Chen Zhongguo quickly turned around and walked towards the side house without saying a word, while the village head and the villagers stared at me curiously and began to mutter.

"Village Chief, what do you think of Mr. Chen's abilities?"

"Yes, village chief, what do you think of his ability?"

Words like these kept muttering in the mouths of the villagers.

Although their voices were extremely low, I still heard them.

I understand what they mean, they want to see my true ability, to put it bluntly, everything we have talked about so far is just verbal, even if I am the palace master, I just listen to what Chen Zhongguo said .

They desperately needed to know if I was trustworthy, and to put it bluntly, to see what I was capable of.

It is also in consideration of this that I now ask Chen Zhongguo to find those things. According to the funeral rules, there is no such thing as a Chinese zodiac conflict before the corpse is encoffined. The only way to put the corpse in the coffin Only then will we begin to pay attention to these.

After waiting for three or four minutes, Chen Zhongguo came over with an abacus in one hand and a writing brush, cinnabar, and white paper in the other.

"Palace Master, here are the things you need." While speaking, Chen Zhongguo put the things beside me.

I hummed and said thank you, then cleaned up the things on the coffee table, and asked Chen Zhongguo to clean up the water on the coffee table with a towel.

After doing all this, many villagers gathered around, and the village chief and Chen Zhongguo stood on our left and right sides, staring at me with countless pairs of eyes, as if my every move was holding their hearts.
