Ah Chen, Ah Chen!
You, the future Miao king who is still a minor, are rich at a young age, but you have not squandered your wealth. Instead, you have devoted yourself to the development of the Miao people.
This is about both schools and helping the Miao people of the Miao ethnic group to get rich. As the mayor, I feel ashamed in front of you.
When the mayor met Achen, Achen had just climbed up from the cliff in the canyon.
At this moment, Ah Chen's face was covered in dirt.
The Miao clothing was also tattered, likely from being scratched by thorns in the mountains and forests.
Not only that, but there were also many cuts and bruises on his arms.
Below his knees, there were many bruises; I have no idea how busy he's been these past few days.
Even the Holy Maiden's Miao clothing was torn in many places, though not as badly as Achen's.
"Ah Chen".
The mayor strode forward and extended his hand from afar.
But Ah Chen waved his dirty hands at him.
"No, no, no, my hands are too dirty!"
"Dirty is nothing, I also come from a farming background."
The mayor held Ah Chen's hand tightly, examining the bloody wounds and bruises all over Ah Chen's body. He said:
"You went into the woods and got yourself into this state. You need to disinfect yourself right away."
"No need, my grandma and the others have already applied the medicine for me!" Ah Chen pointed to the waterfall on the right, "We need to dig a small river over there to divert the water! I'll do it myself."
This time, the mayor admired Mu Achen even more.
Just as he was about to ask Mu Achen about his plans for the future orchard, Achen was being called from afar again.
"Ah Chen, come over here and give me some advice."
"Coming right away."
Ah Chen responded and said to the mayor, "Our Miao Holy Maiden tells you that there are other matters over there, and I need to go and take a look."
"This Ah Chen, he's so busy."
The mayor sighed.
Lei Zhan and Yun Kai headed towards A Chen's direction.
At this moment, Ah Chen had already run to the edge of the canyon cliff near the waterfall on the left.
In addition to building a new suspension bridge to the orchards of the Bai Miao branch on the other side, a small path also needs to be carved out on the side to facilitate access to the bottom of the waterfall.
Ah Chen didn't understand the iron chain bridge.
Everyone has their own area of expertise!
So all he needs to do is explain his idea of building a bridge and its intended use, and the Miao people from several branches will handle it.
But as soon as he finished dealing with things here, Miao people from other places started calling for him.
Ah Chen didn't know how much he had run around that morning, but he was very tired.
When he ate lunch in the open space by the waterfall cliff, he didn't want to move and his whole body ached.
Si Weishou's sister brought him a bowl of corn rice. He ate everything from the food in the earthen pot, no matter what it was, and he ate it with great relish!
This scene also caught the attention of Lei Zhan and Yun Kai, and both of them felt a pang of sympathy for this young man.
Why are you two looking at me like that?
Ah Chen shoveled a big mouthful of rice and downed a large bowl of rice wine.
Lei Zhan and Yun Kai actually gave him a proper salute.
After the ceremony, the two sat down on the tree stump in front of him.
"Brother, you're really amazing!" Lei Zhan patted A Chen's knee.
Ah Chen grinned and said, "It hurts!"
Lei Zhan hurriedly rolled up Achen's trouser legs a little, and when he saw that there was a large patch of skin torn on Achen's knee, he exclaimed, "What happened to you?"
"Keep your voice down, the Holy Maiden is over there! If she hears you, she'll scold me again."
Ah Chen quickly spoke up to remind him, then said, "I slipped and fell last night when I was shoveling mud under the waterfall! By the way, are you here to arrest me?"
Arrest you?
Lei Zhan and Yun Kai were both amused and exasperated!
I thought to myself, "You're the city's top star now. Even the capital of Tianfeng County doesn't dare offend you. Do you think we'd dare arrest you?"
Yun Kai said, "Brother, the information you provided is very accurate. All the murderers were caught that night, and they have now been investigated and handed over! They're going to get shot."
"Thank you! I will remember this kindness! In the future, if you ever need my help, just let me know! As long as it is within my power and does not violate any rules, I will do it without hesitation."
Yun Kaichong and Achen bowed.
Ah Chen laughed. "Old Yun, you transferred to the public defense force, and you were once one of the guardians of the Great Xia. Why do I feel that you calling me 'brother' carries such a heavy weight?"
"What, you, the future Miao King, look down on me, Yun Kai, a nobody?"
"Fine! Since you've put it this way, I won't be polite. But if you want to arrest me, I—"
Lei Zhan interrupted A Chen, saying, "Brother, are you still holding onto this? We came here with the mayor and also have the mission of protecting him, so we can't drink with you. Maybe next time!"
"Protect the mayor? What, are you afraid that my Miao men will do something to harm your mayor?"
"Ah Chen, we're just following orders from our superiors!"
Although Lei Zhan had gotten much closer to A Chen, he was still a little intimidated by this young prince.
After all, they didn't fully understand this future Miao King; at the very least, they couldn't figure out A-Chen's personality.
But I admire Ah Chen's dedication to the Miao people.
He was clearly a wealthy man, but look at what he was eating: cornmeal porridge and vegetable leaves. Although there were a few pieces of meat, he gave them to the other Miao people who were doing hard labor.
"By the way, Ah Chen! The people who damaged your orchards on the night of your Miao Drum Festival have all been dealt with."
Yun Kai took out a document and handed it to A Chen.
Ah Chen took it and glanced at it, then had someone take it to the two chieftains.
"Given the rarity of the fruit tree, the two academicians from Yenching University brought relevant data and demanded severe punishment, with the ringleader sentenced to fifteen years and the accomplices to three to seven years!"
