The soft feathers brushed gently against his skin through his inner clothes.
Ana Shen was silent. He lifted up the little fat pussy beside his thigh with an expressionless face, and there seemed to be a cold air in his sparkling eyes.
Just as he was about to say something, someone knocked gently on the door. Although the sound was not loud, it was particularly harsh in the silent room.
Qiu Xiaoan outside the door swallowed his saliva and spoke cautiously: "Master, the village chief is looking for you."
"Um."
Ana Shen responded indifferently, put on his clothes rustlingly, washed up briefly, picked up the soft little fat baby, and walked out of the room in his wheelchair.
As he entered the hall, the village chief saw him as if he had seen a life-saving straw, and hurried over to him, his voice too pale: "Master Shen...something bad happened."
Compared to the village chief's panic, Shen Yanjin was relatively calm. He looked at the other people in the room calmly, his lips slightly opened, and he said, "Sit down and talk."
The anxious village chief calmed down after hearing this. He found an empty seat and sat down.
Then, he tremblingly told the story one by one.
"Ever since the village's field piles were destroyed and Zhang Dashi of the Zhang family died tragically... the villagers have lived in fear every night. After following your instructions, they've rarely gone out."
The village chief thought of this and gave Shen Yanjin a look of gratitude, then continued: "But things are unpredictable. Some villagers couldn't help but run to check the field stakes late at night, and something went wrong." He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and spoke in a cold tone.
Xiao Xu, who was lying on Shen Yanjin's shoulder, probably understood about 60% of the situation and thought to himself that the villagers watching the field stakes must have already...
Sure enough, the village chief's words came true what it thought.
“No one who went out in the middle of the night came back.”
As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became heavy, oppressing people's nerves and senses, making it difficult to breathe.
Shen Yanjin's fair and smooth hands twisted the wheelchair, and the wheels rumbled into the room. Then he said thoughtfully: "Have you looked for those who didn't come back?"
His voice was like a pool of cool water, flowing into the hearts of everyone in the room and washing away all impatience.
The village chief, who had calmed down, frowned and said, "We just went to look for it. We didn't dare go too far. We looked around but didn't find anything."
Shen Yanjin nodded slightly, his wide sleeves fluttering, and in an instant the room was filled with people, all with their heads and faces covered and wearing dark clothes.
He turned his back to the man in black and said, "If it's absolutely necessary, don't go into the mountains. Go."
"Yes, sir."
The man in black clasped his fists and disappeared out the door as fast as the wind.
Even the village chief, who had seen big scenes before, was slightly surprised. He looked at Shen Yanjin with an expressionless face, and thought of something, and said with a wry smile: "Sorry to bother you, they are actually very obedient, but Tian Zhuan is their second life..."
Xiao Xu naturally knew that in this world, food was the most important thing for people. If something happened to the fields, the whole family would starve to death in the coming year. As for the famine in other places outside the imperial dynasty, it was probably even more serious.
"I've sent someone to look for it, but don't get your hopes up."
Hearing this, the village chief sighed, and his already old face looked a few years older. He said in a daze, "Thank you, Mr. Shen, we won't bother you anymore."
After saying this, he said goodbye and left Shenjiazhuang with a room full of melancholy people.
