Chapter 24 The Light of Righteousness Shines on the Earth
Because the village chief and others agreed, the other villagers looked at each other and stopped objecting. They all raised their hands to agree. To be honest, no one really cared who the village cadre was. After all, the position paid little, was demanding, and was far from home. The stingy village chief basically didn't pay any salary, and the villagers were all crazy. Who would really want to do this?
The village chief actually wanted to struggle one last time.
He said: "Grandma Li is an elder in our village. We can't make decisions on village affairs alone. Why don't you express your opinions as well?"
Of course, the village chief had his reasons for asking this question.
As far as he knew, Grandma Li had a very eccentric personality and hated outsiders, so she would definitely not agree. After Grandma Li refused, they would take advantage of the situation and say that they must respect and abide by the wishes of the elderly. By then, even if Jian Yue had something on them, it would be useless.
He thought exactly.
Then Jian Yue turned around.
When Grandma Li looked up, she saw Jian Yue's bright smile. She said, "How is your wound recovering? You should have followed my instructions not to touch water and take medicine regularly, right?"
She pretended to be dead and didn't want to pay attention to him.
Jian Yue said, "It doesn't matter if you don't tell me. I'll go to your house later to check if the medicine I gave you last time is still there..."
He hasn't finished his nagging yet.
Grandma Li closed her eyes as if she had heard some divine book, and said with an expression of fearlessness: "I have no objection."
The village chief and the others were all stunned.
Wait, isn't this old lady usually able to beat five people by herself? Why is her expression like she's begging you to shut up now? !
At the same time.
The system refreshed the panel in front of Jian Yue: "Congratulations to the intern for completing the limited-time mission: [Mass Cadres Are the Most Glorious], and the mission reward: the key to the archives will be issued soon!!"
It's really done.
Jian Yue could not hide his joy. He stood in the house and said, "Please rest assured, I am honored to be elected as the village party secretary of Wanfu Village. I will definitely not let you down. From today on, I will serve the people wholeheartedly, with the theme of building a new countryside and embarking on a new path to build our beautiful and harmonious homeland!!!"
After the words were spoken, the room fell silent.
Villagers: “…”
Under Jian Yue's gaze, applause gradually broke out, and all the ghosts looked pale.
The audience in the live broadcast room were already laughing.
The village chief gave Jian Yue the key to the archive room with a distorted look on his face, and reminded him: "You must report to the village party secretary's office and clock in every day, otherwise your salary will be deducted!"
Jian Yue became excited when he mentioned salary. He asked, "How much can it be?"
The village chief smiled and said, "When the harvest is good, we can earn at least 500 yuan. When it is bad, we will earn nothing."
Jian Yue was curious: "Are there many bad times?"
"You can rest assured about this." The village chief sneered with his thin face and said, "Basically there is no good time."
Jian Yue: “…”
You might as well have said no from the beginning.
He took a deep breath and asked, "Village head, can you tell me in detail what my daily duties are as the village party secretary? After all, I am the one who is going to build the village and lead everyone to common prosperity. I must know what rights I have."
The village chief snorted coldly, thinking about quick success and instant benefits before he even got warm to his official hat. Young people nowadays really have no patience at all!
"There's nothing specific to do." The village chief said unhappily, "You are mainly responsible for mediating some major and minor affairs in the village, and occasionally you can introduce some new policies that benefit the people of the village."
Jian Yue asked: "What exactly is this matter?"
The village chief smiled and said, "Help Liu the blacksmith find his lost hammer, help Grandma Li chase her pigs that have escaped from the pen, and mediate when someone has a quarrel. That's all!"
Jian Yue was silent for a moment, then asked, "What policies did Yimin have in the past?"
The village chief said expressionlessly: "No."
Jian Yue: "What did the village party secretary do in the past?"
"If we had a village party secretary before, why would we need you!" The village chief glared at Jian Yue fiercely with his skinny face: "I didn't expect you to be so average looking and have a dull brain, and you only ask some inexplicable questions!"
Jian Yue: “…”
It's unclear who it is.
The audience in the live broadcast room were delighted to see this job handover:
"I suddenly felt balanced."
"This village party secretary has no power at all."
"The clues provided by the archives are not enough to make this work tiring."
"Hahaha, the anchor is a complete jerk."
"Little pay, lots of work, and far from home. Absolutely!"
"It's better not to be an official."
At first, everyone was a little envious of Jian Yue for being the first person to become the Party Secretary of Wanfu Village. You have to know that before this, even the players who had reached the highest level of exploration in Wanfu Village and provided strategies had never successfully run for the election of the village Party Secretary!
Seeing this now, everyone no longer felt unbalanced.
Many people even gloated over the other's misfortune.
However, Jian Yue himself was still very optimistic. He felt that his work was not in vain after getting the key, and he went all the way back to the house.
Today was supposed to be his day off and he didn't need to go to the front, but after thinking it over, he decided that he should tell the president that he had become a glorious village cadre.
So Jian Yue went straight to the study.
Stopping at the door of the study, he knocked: "Master, is it convenient for me to come in?"
Shen Yushu said: "Come in."
After entering, he saw Shen Yushu sitting at the desk working. The man raised his eyes and glanced at him. On his originally noble and cold face, he seemed to look at Jian Yue with a hint of helplessness.
Isn’t it a holiday today? Why is Butler Wang here again?
Are you so clingy?
What a annoying little goblin!
Shen Yushu thought so, but there was no anger on his face. He just asked, "What's the matter?"
Jian Yue said, "Master, I heard from Aunt Zhang that you didn't get much rest all day, so I brought you some chicken soup. Although you are usually busy with work, you must also take care of your health!"
The chicken soup was cooked by Zhang's mother, and he was only responsible for bringing it.
Of course, the more important reason is that now that he has found himself a new job, he can't help but feel a little guilty.
Shen Yushu didn't expect that Jian Yue cared so much about his health!
His dark eyes seemed to be burning with some blazing light as they fell on Jian Yue.
Jane Yue felt a little tingling as she watched.
What's going on? Why is the young master looking at him like this? Could it be...
Jian Yue met Shen Yushu's gaze and said hesitantly, "Master, do you know everything?"
Shen Yushu's expression suddenly changed. He coughed lightly and continued to be noble and cold. He even straightened his collar and said, "I know something."
Depend on!
He really has everything under the sun!
Jian Yue said: "I knew that I couldn't hide anything from you, young master. That's right, I was elected as the village party secretary!"
Shen Yushu: "..."
When hearing the news, the noble president's reaction was surprisingly identical to that of the villagers.
Jian Yue asked: "Master?"
The audience in the live broadcast room burst out laughing:
"Don't be fooled by the young master's expressionless face. He may have been gone for a while."
“This is the first time I’ve seen the president like this.”
"Hahahaha, my butler is now an official."
“Talent can shine anywhere!!!”
Shen Yushu narrowed his eyes, looked at Jian Yue and said, "Why are you running for the position of village party secretary? Isn't this whole house enough for you to manage?"
"Young Master, I am running for village party secretary because of the old lady's illness." Jian Yue had thought of a reason long ago: "I have observed these past few days and found that the villagers are very defensive. The best strategy is to infiltrate their inner circle, build a solid mass base, and disintegrate them from within!"
Shen Yushu had mixed feelings, thinking that Butler Wang was truly a talented person, but this was not what he wanted to hear.
He looked at Jian Yue and said, "You did a good job. Do you want any reward? Just tell me and I can consider giving it to you."
Jian Yue was indeed happy. He asked, "Is it true, Master?"
Shen Yushu was domineering, and he looked at him with cold eyes: "Butler Wang, you are the first person who dares to question me."
Jian Yue immediately said, "It was the old servant who made a mistake."
As long as the boss is generous enough, he is willing to be the boss's bootlicker for the rest of his life!!!
Shen Yushu emphasized some key words in his tone and hinted, "Tell me what you want. I have seen your feelings during this period of time. No matter what it is, I can satisfy you."
Jian Yue said righteously: "Master, whatever you say is what I should do for you. If I can always stay by your side and serve you, I will be willing to get a promotion and a raise!!"
“…”
The study was silent for a moment.
Shen Yushu looked at him without saying a word.
But the atmosphere in the study seemed to have become colder. He didn't know if it was Jian Yue's illusion. It was clearly the middle of the afternoon, but he actually had a layer of cold sweat on his back.
Shen Yushu picked up the teacup beside him, took a sip, then looked at Jian Yue and asked, "Is that all?"
Jian Yue was even more confused than he was.
What does it mean? Why is the boss like this? ! It is really like living with a tiger! Why is life so hard for workers?
Could it be that the boss thought his request was too much?
Jian Yue hesitated for a moment and said, "Actually... it's okay if I don't get promoted. Master, I actually think..."
Shen Yushu sneered, and he put down the teacup in his hand. He heard a very subtle cracking sound, and the teacup that was intact just now, just shattered, shattered!!!
"There's no need for a raise!" Jian Yue was shocked and said quickly, "Money is something outside of one's body. You can't bring it with you when you are born and you can't take it with you when you die. This is a low-level interest. Master, believe me, I'm actually not interested in money at all. My only wish in this life is to get rid of this low-level interest!!"
Woo woo woo, God, please don’t strike him with lightning, he had no choice but to do this!
Fishhide Turbulence
Jian Yue added in his heart.
The audience in the live broadcast room burst into laughter when they heard his words:
"The anchor looked like he was about to break into pieces."
“He really loves money.”
"I'm a little curious about what his real job is."
"But why did the young master suddenly turn hostile?"
"Could it be that the president is very angry about the village party secretary's matter?"
"Butler Wang is going to fall out of favor."
"Oh my god, the anchor must have flipped out."
Everyone was speculating.
Shen Yushu in the study was also very angry at first, but after meeting Jian Yue's hesitant gaze, his mind changed again.
Shen Yushu frowned and said, "Apart from these, don't you want anything else?"
Jian Yue thought this was some kind of test, and quickly said, "No, this old servant dare not ask for anything else, just being able to stay with the young master is enough."
His boss who drives away ghosts and sleeps well must not abandon him! !
Shen Yushu fell silent after hearing Jian Yue's words.
Butler Wang...
Could it be that he is playing hard to get?
What a annoying little goblin!!
Shen Yushu said: "I'll keep this request for you. Tell me when you've made up your mind."
It’s not that he can’t give Butler Wang a chance. After all, Butler Wang usually works very hard for him and his mother. He can tolerate this little bit of fun.
Jian Yue asked doubtfully: "Master, I didn't..."
Before he could finish his words, he met the president's dark gaze. With a strong desire to survive, although he didn't know why this premonition came, Jian Yue still shut his mouth.
"Okay, young master." Jian Yue said, "I will go back and think carefully about it."
Damn, money is so hard to earn, he thought, could it be that the young master is playing a trick on him because he is in a bad mood today?
Shen Yushu said with satisfaction: "Well, go out."
Well, he finally stopped making trouble. He thought, when Butler Wang heard that he had complied with his little hobby, he would definitely be secretly happy, right? !
…
Jian Yue went back to his room.
Although he really wanted to go to the archives right now, he glanced at the clock. It was almost four or five in the afternoon. It might be dark soon, so it would not be safe for him to go now.
He plans to take a nap tonight and make plans after he wakes up.
Sitting in the room, Jian Yue took out his notebook and began to organize his thoughts during this period. What he knew now was that there was a problem with the lanterns. The villagers who were normal during the day would become alienated at night, and the reason for this alienation was unknown.
Maybe we need to find Ji Feng’s research institute to find some answers.
Jian Yue put away the key given to him after he became the village party secretary. He took out the village party secretary's manual, which contained all sorts of things to do. He flipped through it and found that they were all trivial matters.
I was just planning to put it away.
suddenly--
Jian Yue's attention was attracted by the following line of small words:
[The sixth priority of the village party secretary's work is to regularly promulgate some policies that benefit the villagers and seek benefits for them. After the policies are released, every villager in Wanfu Village should actively cooperate with the work of the village party secretary.]
This line of small words is actually not conspicuous.
Jian Yue looked at it for a while and felt that if something existed, there must be a reason for it, it just depends on how the user understands it.
The audience in the live broadcast room saw him in deep thought and thought he was going to come up with something, but then they saw Jian Yue put away the booklet and sighed: "Forget it, let's eat first!"
Audience: “…”
Jian Yue went to the kitchen to eat something simple and when he came back it was already dark. Wanfu Village looked almost completely different in the dark than in the daytime. The sky was dark all day long as if an invisible curtain enveloped the village tightly, making it hard to breathe.
At some point, the thick fog rose again.
The air was filled with a faint smell of blood again.
Jian Yue discovered that the light in the study had been turned off today. The old lady's condition had worsened today, and Shen Yushu had gone to accompany her. This proved that he had no reason to stay in the study tonight.
Walk back to your room.
Jian Yue saw the lantern on the table, picked it up, looked at it, and put it down again. He definitely wouldn't use it, so he could only find a way to survive at night.
He walked straight to the bed and lay down, covering himself with Shen Yushu's coat.
The night gradually darkened. Jian Yue was sleeping soundly when he suddenly heard knocks on the door outside, mixed with an anxious voice: "Butler Wang, Butler Wang! Butler Wang, open the door!"
Jian Yue was not sleeping soundly. He opened his eyes and sat up. His coat slipped off. He looked at the door and asked, "Who?"
"It's me." The person outside cried, "Please open the door, Steward Wang, and save us."
Jian Yue frowned. He first glanced at the reflection in the mirror at the window crack, and after confirming that the person outside was indeed Tiantian and that there was a shadow in the faint light, he walked over and opened the door.
As soon as the door was opened, you could smell blood.
The people outside were in a terrible state. Tiantian almost fell in carrying the man next to her.
Jian Yue held her back and said, "What's wrong with you?"
Tiantian panted and said, "Ever since you told us not to turn on the lights at night, I haven't dared to turn on the lights at night. My boyfriend wants to turn on the lights. Although I can sleep after turning on the lights, I can always think of the scene of someone lying on the crack of the door and watching that day. I dare not sleep at night, nor turn on the lights, so I..."
Jian Yue frowned: "What do you mean?"
Tiantian cried and said, "After he lit the lamp, I secretly turned it off. I originally thought that since we still had some points, we could still save our lives even if we were discovered by the ghosts. But I didn't know that he had already used up all his points when he followed Dao Ge and the others up the mountain that day. When they were attacked just now, he was chopped and injured. The others who lit the lamps were all fast asleep and couldn't be woken up. My cards have no offensive power, so I can't save him. I can only teleport to find you!!"
Jian Yue asked: "How do you know I can wake him up?"
"I... I guessed." Tiantian hesitated and said, "Because people who don't turn on the lights can't sleep. Butler Wang, you reminded me not to turn on the lights, so you probably didn't turn on the lights yourself."
There is another selfish motive.
Tiantian's eyes were eager and admiring. "Although I haven't seen your card skills, butler Wang, you have survived until now without any trouble. Your card skills must be very powerful and strong. You will definitely have no problem beating a few ghosts!!"
Jian Yue: “…”
His silence was deafening in this night.
The audience in the live broadcast room laughed like crazy:
"His card has a shitty attack power."
"Don't even mention fighting three, it's hard to fight one."
"At a critical moment, your teleportation may not be as useful as it is."
"Hahaha, you found the wrong person."
However, Jian Yue had excellent hearing, and he already felt something was wrong. His face gradually became worse. With the last hope, he asked, "If you teleported here, the ghost that just attacked you should not have followed you, right?"
Tiantian was stunned for a moment, she forced a smile and said: "If I'm lucky, I shouldn't..."
Jian Yue's gaze passed her and fell on the lawn not far away.
The rustling sounds of crawling were endless. In the thick fog, the carpenter holding a saw and the hunched-over Grandma Li who was crawling strangely were slowly approaching. On the other side, because of the noise from this house, several red figures were also slowly approaching. They were the widow Li with messy hair and bloodshot eyes, and some unknown villagers.
Tiantian's teeth were chattering, and she cried, "What should I do? What should I do? They are catching up with us. Butler Wang, please use your card quickly."
Jian Yue said: "I used my card at noon, and it is still in the 12-hour cooldown period."
As soon as she finished speaking, Tiantian's eyes widened, and even the audience in the live broadcast room could feel her despair across the screen.
Jian Yue didn't dwell on this. He knew that dwelling on it was useless, so he just looked outside and slowly approached the villagers who were obviously abnormal. He smiled and said, "What a coincidence, everyone. We just met during the day and now we meet again."
"Bang!"
As soon as the words fell.
The sharp saw hit the door directly. The carpenter's legs limped and he looked at the people standing at the door in the night. He licked his lips hungrily with his tongue. It was not a normal person's tongue, it was thin and long, and could even droop down. His eyes also turned into scarlet vertical pupils.
Jian Yue acted as if he didn't see it. He looked at Grandma Li and the others, curled his lips and said, "Grandma Li, it seems that your injury has healed and you can come out and hang around again."
Grandma Li paused in her twisted crawling movements, but unlike before when she ran away, her eyes were obviously redder, and her limbs were drooping and even more twisted, as if she had lost all her mind and could only see the flesh in front of her.
The ghosts' killing conditions should be relaxed again.
Jian Yue thought that they had never attacked players so directly before.
"Chuckle, chuckle"
A sinister and deep laugh was heard.
Widow Li was the first to crawl up. Her lips were as red as if stained with blood. A low murmur fell from her lips: "I will eat you, I will eat you all..."
The night wind blew past.
Thick fog enveloped the entire mansion. Red lanterns were shining high in the courtyard not far away. The smell of blood filled the entire corridor. More villagers were attracted by the noise and surrounded Jian Yue's room tightly. There was no place for him to escape.
"I can't escape... I can't escape..."
There was excitement in the villagers' scarlet pupils. They rushed closer and closer, ready to capture their prey!
The audience in the live broadcast room also went crazy:
"Ah ...
"I'm going to die, the anchor is going to die!"
“This is really the end.”
"Everyone, please clean up. This live broadcast room is about to be closed."
"Alas... I thought he could live longer..."
Just when the dark night was about to be dyed red by blood.
Jian Yue coughed lightly, and without even waiting for the villagers to rush over, he took the lead and walked out of the room!
In the night, his figure stood straight in the corridor, and all the villagers saw that after Jian Yue tidied up, he actually took out a loudspeaker from the house!
This is the loudspeaker I received from the village chief after becoming the village party secretary today!
"Hello, hello..." Jian Yue turned on the speaker button, patted the speaker, cleared his throat and said, "Everyone is here tonight, so I'll just say a few words."
The villagers who were crawling and twisting were frozen in place by the sudden sound of the horn, unable to believe what they heard.
Jian Yue even walked to the bench at the door and stood on it, like the light of righteousness shining on the earth: "Since I came to the village, I found that people have a serious problem of staying out all night. From three-year-old children to eighty-year-old ladies, none of them have a good schedule. This bad habit is very bad and is not good for all kinds of health, especially you, Carpenter Brother, your eyes are red from staying up all night, how can you do this!"
All the ghosts were stunned.
However, they were not even given a chance to react.
Jian Yue took out a pen and took out the village party secretary's booklet to write the new policy, while holding a loud speaker and shouting: "So, on the first day of taking office as the village party secretary, the first new policy I want to announce is that all villagers should go home and sleep as early as possible after midnight, because early sleep and early rise can keep healthy. I ask all villagers to actively cooperate with my work and work together to make Wanfu Village bigger and stronger, okay?"
After the new policy in the booklet was written.
It seemed as if something had changed, and the identity of the village party secretary officially took effect at this moment.
The carpenter closest to him raised his hand and clapped as if he could not control himself. Article 6 of the Villager Handbook also came into effect at the same time. The villagers needed the active response and cooperation of the policies promulgated by the village party secretary.
"Uncle Carpenter is really conscious!" Jian Yue nodded with some satisfaction and said, "Come on, everyone else, don't just stand there. Friends here have heard it. Friends over there, let me see your determination and enthusiasm for building Wanfu Village!!"
