Splendid blessing girl has space

Chapter 179

The group got into the carriage again, let the man sit with the coachman, and headed towards the mountain under his command.

When passing by the rice fields, Xu Lele saw many officials there again. It turned out that the prefect's grain collection team had also come here.

But in Matou Village, as long as they are middle-aged men, they all go to work in the fields. How can they still have patrolling people here?
Having already asked this person's name just now, Xu Lele called Uncle Zhou and asked his question.

Uncle Zhou said: "Oh, it was arranged by our village chief. I don't know. Anyway, people from the village come here in rotation every day."

"Your village chief is pretty good." Xu Lele felt more and more that the village chief of Matou Village should come to learn from others.

"Of course." When Uncle Zhou heard her praise the village chief, he raised his head as if he was praising himself, and he couldn't control his gossiping mouth when he was proud, "But..."

He looked around carefully, and when he saw no one was paying attention, he stretched his head into the carriage and said, "Actually, our village head is afraid that thieves will enter his house. Don't you know that our village head is rich! This hill is all his. Yes! And the land at the foot of the mountain, did you see that it is also his, tsk tsk, if I had known that being a village chief could be so rich, I would have put money in it..."

Suddenly his words got stuck, Xu Shi finally remembered that there was still a yamen servant sitting in the carriage.

In their eyes, these yamen servants were no different from officials. They immediately retracted their heads with a white face and a dry smile, and dared not say a word that was unnecessary.

Silently retracting the words in his heart, maybe the village head of Matou Village is a bit useless, at least he is not greedy. After such a comparison, Xu Lele feels that the village head of Matou Village is not so annoying.

The carriage couldn't go up the mountain, and the last part of the road to the mountainside had to be walked by everyone with their feet.

Xu Lele lowered his head and carefully stepped on the gravel. Is this road that Zhang Xiaohu and his grandfather walk every day?

When she saw the dilapidated wooden house in front of her, she couldn't even move her feet.

This is even more surprising than the impoverished mountainous areas she has seen in documentaries, saying that it is good to say that its broken bricks and tiles are good.

It's just some straw spread on the roof casually, and the walls are made of wooden boards, and the scene inside can be seen through the gaps.

A disheveled old man who was tidily tidied up squatted on the ground chopping firewood with his back bent.

Uncle Zhou, who led the way, seemed to be accustomed to walking over and shouting, "Old man Zhang, someone is looking for you."

Xu Lele calmed down, smiled and went over to tell Grandpa Zhang why she came here, and then directly sent the things she brought into the house without the slightest dislike in her eyes.

The yamen servant had no choice but to protect Xu Lele's order, so he stood outside the door and didn't go in, which happened to block the curious gaze of the person leading the way.

"Grandpa Zhang, this is the silver reward from the county, and the money he got from selling his prey. You take it all!"

Xu Lele stuffed the red envelope in his sleeve into Grandpa Zhang's gully-covered palm with minimal movements.

"Is... Xiaohu really alright?!" Grandpa Zhang squeezed the red envelope, but his emotions, which were still stable, became agitated instead.

"Don't worry, I told you, Grandpa, it's just a small injury, really!"

Xu Lele knew that he was afraid that the money was Zhang Xiaohu's money for his life, so he winked at Li Daniu, who was standing there in a daze, and asked him to help talk together, so that the old man would not worry.

"That's right, he's injured in his shoulder and it's inconvenient to move around, that's why my grandfather insisted on him staying and recovering from his injury before leaving." Li Daniu said naively.
