Time slowly passed.
As soon as Ah Chen and his group arrived at Miao Qin's house in the county town, before they had even parked their car, Ah Mo's phone rang.
Amo answered the phone and then handed it to Achen.
He mouthed to Ah Chen, "The mayor is looking for you."
Looking for me?
Ah Chen hesitated for a moment, but still picked up the phone to answer.
With just a few simple words, Ah Chen was truly surprised by how quickly the city government acted. How long had it been? The decision had already been made!
The deputy county head and other relevant personnel involved in public security and fire prevention also suffered the same fate, and were all dismissed from their posts.
Exactly the same as in my previous life!
When something goes wrong, the first ones to suffer are almost always those whose names start with "Deputy".
However, Mu Achen knew that this was a show put on by the government for the Miao people.
Even if Mu Achen knew this was the usual tactic, he still had to show some attitude.
So after a moment's thought, he said with a smile:
"Mayor, how could I dare to lie to you? We really came here for the sake of our Miao children's schooling. Those grandmothers and young women all wanted to do their part for their own families, but we never expected it to cause such a big misunderstanding."
"How about this? I'll ask them not to go near the county town together. Amo and I will visit you tomorrow to report on the Miao children's schooling in person."
…
After hanging up the call, Ah Chen frowned deeply!
They came for school matters, that's true.
But the appearance of so many Miao ghosts and ghost wives around the county town must be the work of Amo.
As for why we came!
Some things--
Needless to say, those who understand will understand.
Those who don't understand can go to the underworld and ask King Yama.
"Amo, have you noticed that something's not quite right about what happened today?"
"I could tell. The people in the suburbs who were torn apart by a swarm of snakes clearly knew who we were! Under these circumstances, how dare the public security bureau accuse us of something? I think the city government hasn't found out the real reason yet, or maybe they have but haven't told us."
Ah Chen nodded. "Let's investigate this matter later. At the very least, we need to find out who wants us dead!"
"Okay! Let's go, get off the bus and go to Auntie's house. She should be able to tell us some things we don't know yet."
"Um."
Although the aunt's house is located in the very center of the county town, it is deep in an alley.
Putting aside the environment, the lighting in the alley makes it feel like it's almost dark, even in broad daylight.
but...
The aunt and her family were very welcoming.
As Achen and Amo arrived at the door with gifts, Aunt Tang Yue'e, dressed in simple Miao clothing, and her husband Hua Ting were already waiting at the door with their three children.
The first thing Tang Yue'e said when she stepped forward to take the load was, "Achen, I'm also an auntie from Quedong Village."
*Pfft*
Forehead---
Ah Mo smiled so much her crescent moons were practically squinting!
Ah Chen was utterly embarrassed; he truly hadn't expected that his words had reached the county town.
Hua Ting stepped forward and shook A Chen's hand, "Well done, no wonder you are the future Miao King of Qiandong Miao people. You shocked the entire Tianfeng County with just one drum festival."
"Brother Chen."
"Brother Chen."
The three children, the oldest being twelve or thirteen and the youngest only five or six, were all gathered around Achen.
Even though the children had never seen the "Achen" that their mother spoke of.
But Ah Chen's Miao clothing and his mother's words, "I am also an auntie from Que Dong Village," have already taught the children how to address people.
Ah Chen picked up the youngest child, took out some snacks he had just bought outside, and gave each of the kids a handful.
"Thank you, Brother Chen."
The two girls thanked her sweetly.
Ah Chen peeled a moon-shaped candy and teased the little boy in his aunt's house.
Ah Chen kept teasing the little boy with moon-shaped candies, making his eyes light up, but he just couldn't bite into them. This happened several times, but he still couldn't get his hands on the sweet moon-shaped candy.
Finally, she burst into tears.
"Wow--"
Upon hearing the crying, Ah Chen was greatly embarrassed, thinking to himself: This is too fragile!
"A real man doesn't cry. This is because your brother Chen likes you." Hua Ting immediately slapped the little boy's bottom.
"This Ah Chen, even though he's married, he still has such a childlike heart!"
The auntie held Ah Chen's hand in one hand and Ah Mo's hand in the other, and the group went into the house.
Ah Chen glanced around and saw three rooms, two small side rooms in the back, and a small courtyard of about ten square meters in the middle, which was piled with a lot of things.
This place is a bit cramped, and all the furnishings are very old, but it's kept very clean.
Hua Ting brewed a cup of tea for A Chen and also took out some melon seeds and peanuts.
"Don't bother, Uncle Hua, I feel embarrassed by your politeness."
Hua Ting, 35 or 36 years old, was formerly the vice principal of the No. 1 Middle School in the county.
College students in the 1980s were no ordinary people.
Tang Yue'e, an aunt from Que Dong Village, pulled Amo aside and looked her up and down, now that she had changed her clothes.
The more Tang Yue'e looked, the happier she became. Finally, she whispered something in A Mo's ear, and A Mo's face turned bright red.
"What's there to be shy about! Our Miao people's holy maiden's engagement is marriage!"
“You are a saint! You are different from the girls of the twelve branches, so you don’t need to worry about the banquet.”
"Ah Chen, are you satisfied with him in that aspect...?"
Tang Yue'e said that if things weren't quite right, she had medicine that would make Ah Chen as strong as an ox, and that Ah Mo would never forget him.
"Auntie, why are you saying this!"
"This is a big deal, we can't be careless."
