Chapter 121 The General and His Wife Are Living Bodhisattvas

The deaths of the lawyer and Peng Juncai caused an uproar in the entire Ning County.

Some people even started secretly setting off firecrackers to celebrate.

At the beginning, only one or two people dared to release it secretly.

After discovering that the county magistrate ignored the matter, every household began to celebrate.

Winter is about to arrive and the Chinese New Year is only a few months away. The vendors selling firecrackers have already started stockpiling goods.

This thing is not difficult to buy.

When the whole county was in an uproar, Lu Wanyin had already taken Xie Jingci back to Qinghe Village.

Old man Zhang's home has almost changed.

All the necessary tools were put in place, and even the leaky walls were repaired tightly.

I just walked around and didn't see Old Man Zhang.

Seeing Lu Wanyin staring at the empty house in a daze, a smile appeared in Xie Jingci's eyes.

He stroked his palm lightly: "Where did they go?"

A man jumped down from the tree and said, "Master, Old Man Zhang took the firecrackers, wine and meat and went to Zhang Ling's grave."

Lu Wanyin stood under the tree and stared at it for a long time.

In this weather, most of the leaves have fallen, but there is still room for someone to hide.

The key is that she hasn't discovered it yet.

Xie Jingci has too many capable people under his command.

Sure enough, her choice was correct.

Xie Jingci waved his hand to signal his men to return to their positions, and in a blink of an eye he saw Lu Wanyin's admiring eyes.

He couldn't help but laugh out loud. "I was just worried that the people from the county government would cause trouble for Old Man Zhang, so I sent someone to keep an eye on him. Now that the matter is settled, if you want, he's at your disposal."

Lu Wanyin refused, "No, I won't be polite to you if I need you in the future."

We haven't reached the wilderness yet, so all plans have not yet been implemented.

Once all the stadiums are unlocked and large-scale thermal weapons can be used, when the time is right, he will not object to asking Xie Jingci to borrow people.

Lu Wanyin roughly identified the direction and said, "Let's go and take a look at Zhang Ling's grave."

Zhang Ling's grave looked much more "lively" than the last time they came.

The firecracker debris scattered all over the ground, the big red head flower and the exquisite embroidered shoes placed in front of the grave...

Together with the food and drinks placed in front, it was full.

Old man Zhang leaned against the tombstone and carefully wiped the words on it.

The glass in his hand was filled with wine. He took several sips and finally poured it in front of the tombstone.

Hearing the sound of approaching footsteps, Old Man Zhang looked up.

Seeing that it was Lu Wanyin, he stood up tremblingly and knelt in front of the two of them with a plop.

He didn't say a word, just kept kowtowing.

The cold wind made the ground hard and cold, and after just two gusts, Old Man Zhang's forehead turned red.

His action was so sudden that Lu Wanyin had no time to react.

However, Xie Jingci was "disabled" and could not act rashly.

When she realized what was happening, she quickly went to help him: "Old man, what are you doing? Zhang Lingke is watching here. We really can't afford it."

Old man Zhang looked at Lu Wanyin, tears streaming down his face.

He was very old, crying so hard that he was out of breath, staggering, and unable to utter a word.

While coaxing the old man, Lu Wanyin signaled Xie Jingci to quickly arrange for someone to invite the village chief and take Old Man Zhang back.

When the village chief came back from Old Man Zhang's house wiping his tears, Lu Wanyin realized that their visit had actually saved Old Man Zhang's life.

After Old Man Zhang's daughter died, his only wish was to avenge Zhang Ling.

He had already prepared everything Zhang Ling liked, including good wine and food, and also prepared decent clothes for himself.

As soon as the news came that Peng Juncai was beaten into a pulp with sticks in front of the people of Ning County, Old Man Zhang immediately ran back to the county town.

After witnessing Peng Juncai's tragic death, Old Man Zhang no longer had any obsession and decided to follow Zhang Ling.

As soon as he returned from the county town, he started preparing these things.

If Lu Wanyin and the other person had not gone there, by this time, Old Man Zhang would have gone to see Zhang Ling with the things that were given to Zhang Ling, burning with anger.

After hearing what the village chief said, Lu Wanyin was stunned for a long time.

She and Xie Jingci looked at each other and instantly understood each other's thoughts.

She turned to look at the village chief: "Sister-in-law should have told you that soon all the private schools in Ning County will be built. Then you will be very busy. You should arrange more work for Old Man Zhang. He is already very old, so don't assign him too much work. Just make sure he doesn't have to be idle."

This guy likes to daydream when he has free time.

After giving him a full schedule of work, he can go home and fall asleep immediately to see what else he wants to do.

When the village chief heard this, it seemed like a good idea.

But: "What if he doesn't want to?"

Old man Zhang is a living person. If he doesn't want to, they can't whip him.

Lu Wanyin pondered for a moment and said, "Then tell him that after the private school is built, the tuition for girls will be reduced by half. With more girls studying in the future, there will be fewer people like Zhang Ling who end up in such a miserable situation."

A miserable end or something...

The village chief couldn't bear it any longer: "Do you have to be so direct?"

Isn't this just rubbing salt into Old Man Zhang's wounds?

Lu Wanyin waved her hand. "Please consider your words carefully. By the way, there's one more important thing. This year's cold wave may be more severe than in previous years. The village chief reminds everyone to prepare early."

The village chief choked and nodded repeatedly.

The general and his wife are truly the best people in the world. Why do they have to go to the wilderness to suffer?

Seeing that the village chief had listened, Lu Wanyin felt relieved.

Without having to worry about dealing with the cold wave, the people of Ning County can devote more energy to rebuilding private schools.

Until the afternoon, the people of Ning County were still celebrating.

Lu Wanyin asked the village chief not to disturb others. She and Xie Jingci were still exiled prisoners in name only.

When we woke up in the morning, Lu Wanyin had already told us to pack our things, so by now, everything should have been packed.

When the village chief learned that they were leaving, he felt very reluctant to let them go.

This isn't an exiled prisoner, this is a living Buddha sent from heaven.

What Lu Wanyin and Xie Jingci discussed was to leave as soon as night fell.

The next wave of killers may arrive at any time. Staying one more day will only cause trouble to the people of Ning County.

Perhaps because she had been left psychologically traumatized by the cold weather of the past two days, when Lu Wanyin returned, she saw Hou Yuanji directing people to bundle up large and small packages.

Almost all of them are quilts and cotton jackets.

Very good, very strong desire to survive.

Seeing Lu Wanyin staring at his quilt, Hou Yuanji shuddered: "Not much."

Lu Wanyin decisively looked away.

Are you afraid she'll snatch it away?

Is she that kind of person?

Well, sometimes.

Lu Wanyin glanced around.

Hou Yuanji had no intention of freezing all these prisoners to death, so everyone in the Xie family wore a fairly thick layer of cotton clothes.

However, the style and materials used are extremely poor, and the only thing that can be done is to prevent them from freezing to death.

In the past, even the servants of the Xie family would not bother to wear it.

Hou Yuanji was nervous, worried that Lu Wanyin was going to question him.

But Lu Wanyin nodded at him very pertinently: "As they should, they are only worthy of wearing this."
