Chapter 164 Make You Question Life
At the entrance of the village, the Qingquan Villagers were bringing Zhang Fanjian and others to present thank-you gifts one by one.
They had nothing expensive to give, but some duck eggs, bacon, salted fish, sweet potatoes, rice, and some dried dates and dried mushrooms, all of which were gifts from the whole village.
Last night, more than 20 villages that came to Dalui Village for a meeting protected their crops.
Only a few villages were not well commanded, and the fields were still gnawed by locusts, but the loss was not great.
"Nuobao's method really saved our village. The crops are all fine." The people in Qingquan Village were relieved: "We know we can't repay you, so we hope you will accept these small gifts."
Zhang Fanjian's eyes were filled with tears: "Really, I don't know what to say. The locusts were flying around last night and scared me to death. If it weren't for Nuobao, we wouldn't have thought about the autumn harvest this year." Feng
and the village chief stood in the front, smiling from ear to ear.
"It's good that the fields are all fine. Nuobao was exhausted last night and is still catching up. I will carry her out later to make her happy." Feng said happily. The people
in Qingquan Village didn't dare to disturb Nuobao's sweet dream, and hurriedly shook their heads: "No, no, don't bother the child, let her sleep well, we will leave after standing for a while."
The village chief was full of pride, and he boasted: "You don't know, our Nuobao stood in the village and commanded last night. Don't look at her small size, she has her own ideas. She is the backbone of our whole village. Without her, we really can't do it."
After hearing this, the leaders of other villages shed tears of envy.
If Nuobao could be from their village, it would be a great blessing for them!
But some good things can't be envied.
At most, they can only drool in their hearts.
The village chief also stroked his beard, a little proud, and a little ostentatious, which ruined his complacency.
Feng and Yang Tianmei smiled at each other, as if they were looking at an old child, and let the village chief show off.
After everyone laughed and chatted for a while, they were about to leave Qingquan Village. At this time, some villager mentioned that the village chief's birthday was in two days.
Village people don't care about this. In previous years, the village chief didn't celebrate much. At most, he would eat a bowl of noodles and two eggs.
But this year was his 50th birthday, so he wanted to set up a small banquet in the village.
When the people in Qingquan Village heard this, they immediately said, "But the day after tomorrow? I wonder if I can come to join in the fun."
Zhang Fanjian also bowed and smiled, "And me, and me. It just so happens that my family has just made bacon. I will bring some over when the time comes to add a dish to you, Village Chief Yang, okay?"
After the two of them finished talking, the village chiefs of other villages also looked flattering and expressed their willingness to come.
Now because of Nuobao, who doesn't want to follow Dalui Village? Even if they can get a little bit of light, it may be a great thing to save their lives!
Seeing this, the village chief was so happy that he blew his beard and his waist was suddenly very stiff.
"Okay, okay, as long as everyone is willing to give me, Old Yang, face, then everyone will come!" The village chief laughed very happily.
After everyone left with laughter, the village chief would help Fengshi and take the thank-you gift to Jiang's house.
But the Jiang family would not be short of these. The whole family could not finish the offerings that Xiao Nuobao threw out every day.
So Feng only kept some hazel mushrooms for Nuobao to stew chicken, and the rest were distributed to the villagers by the village chief, as if Nuobao was treating everyone.
There was another round of cheers in Daliu Village.
Around noon, the aroma of food wafting from every household was a little stronger than usual.
Xiao Nuobao sat on a bench in the yard, holding his chin, shaking his head and squinting with a smile.
The surrounding villages were peaceful.
She could also feel at ease.
However, the person who was making trouble behind her should not think of getting away easily. She was calculating the account in her mind.
...
At this time, in the government office.
Zhang Ke was full of confidence, sitting in the upper seat and sipping the tea.
"Just wait and see." He chuckled and said to Tian Zhixian, "The crops of those villagers have been destroyed. It must be unbearable. No matter who hides a girl and doesn't report it, they will be caught and arrested as a calamity star." As soon as
these words came out, the yamen runners below looked at each other and had to step forward to report.
"Reply to the county magistrate, Master, we have just inquired about it. In fact, the locust plague..."
Zhang Ke interrupted with a sound of defiance, his face full of arrogance: "The locust plague has destroyed all the villagers, right? If you want to report the losses, then don't say anything. I know everything."
The yamen runner paused and said speechlessly: "That... not really. In fact, what I want to say is that nothing happened last night. The crops in each village are fine. Some villages didn't even know that locusts came last night..."
What?
"This is impossible!"
Zhang Ke's face turned pale and he stood up excitedly.
How could he know that last night, Daliu Village and Qingquan Village were the first stops of the locust plague.
As soon as the locusts came, they were all burned to death, and they didn't have time to fly to the village too far away. The locust plague ended just like that.
Zhang Ke's forehead veins bulged, and he slapped the table, breaking the tea bowl in half.
"Impossible, I have already drawn the disaster array, and spent a lot of effort, how could it not work!" He really couldn't believe it.
The yamen officer nodded: "It's true, if you don't believe it, go out and see for yourself?"
Tian Zhixian breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked down on the spit.
Tsk, what a master, it turns out he is just a trick, he seriously doubted whether this person is a swindler.
Zhang Ke couldn't stand it anymore, grabbed the collar of the yamen runner, and asked anxiously: "Then did you post a notice saying that there is a disaster star in Yuncheng? Have the people reported it? Have you?!"
The yamen runner rolled his eyes.
"No." The yamen runner shrugged: "Nothing, no one believes it at all. There will be a disaster star here, and they all say it's alarmist!"
Zhang Ke: "..."
He was immediately frustrated, grabbed his hair, and fell back into the chair. He
spent so much energy and hurt himself to create a disaster hexagram, but it... didn't work?
Impossible.
Absolutely impossible!
He is a master, doesn't he have any face?
Zhang Ke covered his chest and almost wanted to vomit blood.
"Let me think about it, there must be something wrong, I can't make a mistake."
Under the contemptuous eyes of Tian Zhixian and the yamen runners, Zhang Ke shook his head and rushed back to the dormitory like crazy.
Even if he stayed up all night, he had to find out what was going on!
...
Xiao Nuobao didn't know that he had made the dirty sorcerer doubt his life before he made a move.
Two days passed in a flash, and it was finally the village chief's fiftieth birthday.
Early in the morning, Xiao Nuobao tied a pair of upturned braids, changed into a warm red dress, and dressed up in a prosperous manner.
Then he twisted his little butt, smiled, and ran to congratulate the village chief!
