Chapter 61 Taotao also wants to contract with humans [Third update]
After much deliberation, Yang Xiangwei chose the village chief of Wumu.
Firstly, he is the village chief of Yilan Village. Secondly, he is very old and it is unclear how many years he can live. To put it bluntly, Taotao may have only been under contract with him for a few years before he dies.
He died, and Taotao was liberated.
Another thing is that Yang Xiangwei felt that based on his experience, as long as there was no major upheaval, it would be unlikely for him to have a sudden change in personality and suddenly become a different person.
He is fine now and is safe for Taotao.
but……
Yang Xiangwei narrowed her eyes slightly. She didn't want to assign Taotao to the Wumu Village Chief as a "task", but wanted to treat it as a "reward". Compared with "tasks", "rewards" are more motivating.

It was a few days later that Village Chief Tong Na learned from those who had let the secret slip that they had abandoned Ming Qi and ran away. He was so angry that he scolded them directly.
"Do you have any brains? I'm trying so hard to please the Mountain God, hoping that he will pay more attention to our village and give us more benefits. What about you? What are you doing there? You're holding me back. How come no one told me about such a big thing?"
A villager said weakly: "The little fool was fine later..."
Before he could finish, he was scolded by the village chief Tong Na: "What little fool? My name is Ming Qi, Ming Qi, don't you understand? You should call me by my name from now on. It's a name that has been personally certified by the mountain god. Do you want to go against the mountain god?"
The villagers naturally said “no” and said they did not dare to tell Village Chief Tong Na because they were afraid that he would be angry if he knew.
Village Chief Tong Na was so angry that his chest hurt: "Are you afraid that I will be angry? Is it more serious when I am angry or when the mountain god is angry? Which one is more important? Can't you tell the difference? You really piss me off! I am so lucky to have you villagers!"
Their village was already lagging behind Yilan Village, and now, on their way to Yilan Village to work, they lost a child. Just ignore it and don't tell him later. It's been a few days and the family is fine. They are lucky to be fine.
Fortunately, nothing happened. What if something happened?
If something happens, will they still have the nerve to go to Yilan Village to work in the future?
They don't want this face, but he and Nanxi Village do.
Village chief Tong Na immediately called out the two villagers who led the team that day, questioned them separately, asked his two sons to look after them, and called in the other people who had led the team that day one by one to question them.
He didn't call them in individually because he was afraid that they would collude with each other.
But he also knew that so many days had passed, and they might have already arranged it.
Although he was angry, it was impossible for Village Chief Tong Na to just abandon them. After all, these people were from Nanxi Village. They represented not only themselves but also the entire Nanxi Village.
After questioning, Village Chief Tongna called the entire village together and explained to them the seriousness of the matter.
"Stop working and deduct food for one day as punishment."
The crowd was shocked.
Especially those people that day, they regretted it deeply.
There is already a famine at the moment. If it weren't for the food provided by the Mountain God, they would never be able to fill their stomachs. Now it’s okay. One day’s fine is a small matter, but suspending work…
"Village chief, please don't do that! If we can't work, when will we build our house?"
"Yes, village chief, if you want to fine me, don't punish me for anything else. Let me reclaim land or dig a reservoir, but don't stop me from working. I can't stop because our house depends on my work."
"Village Chief, I know I was wrong. I will never hide anything from you again. If there is anything, I will tell you first."
"Village Chief, this is none of my business. They told me not to say it."
…
Village chief Tong Na knows these villagers very well.
As long as their interests are not involved, they like to make some small moves. Once their interests are affected, they will become very tough.
He didn't care whether they were happy or not, as long as they made a mistake, they should be punished.
He asked his three sons to collect the "penalty grain", packed it in bags, and asked the eldest son Tong Dagui to carry it. He also arranged for two more honest young men in the village to accompany them.
At that time, these two young men will be able to prove for him that he did not "embezzle" their fine grain, and the fine grain was really handed over to Ming Qi.

"Why are you here?"
Hearing the question mark from Wumu Village Chief, Tong Na looked embarrassed, but still stepped forward with a thick face: "I'm sorry, these little bastards are too much. They committed such a serious crime and kept it a secret from me. I didn't know until today that Ming Qi almost got into trouble a few days ago. Fortunately, he is fine. If he really had any accident, I don't know how to explain it to his grandmother. Before his grandmother passed away, she asked us to help look after him."
Village Chief Wumu didn't expect that Village Chief Tongna only found out about it now. He said, it's such a big thing, and it's been so many days, why didn't Village Chief Tongna react at all?
It turns out that everyone has kept it from him.
Village chief Wumu felt a little sympathy for Village chief Tongna. It was difficult to do his job when the people under him were so "disobedient".
"This is not your fault. It wasn't you who left Ming Qi behind, it was them."
There was no mention that it was Ming Qi who asked them to run away.
Village chief Wumu really thought that they were going too far. A group of adults, just because the child told you to run, you just abandoned him and ran away?
What’s up!
Your life is a life, but Ming Qi’s is not?
He still remembered how Ming Qi looked like that day, covered in blood. Fortunately, he was lucky enough to crawl back, otherwise...
Village Chief Tong Na could see that although Village Chief Wu Mu seemed polite, he was actually a little unhappy. He quickly said that he had already "punished" them, and then asked his son Tong Dagui to carry the bag of grain over.
"This is for Mingqi's body. There are also ten eggs. We saved them for a long time. We will give them all to Mingqi. Mingqi and Liangchen have a good relationship. Liangchen will also have a taste. The two children can eat together."
Village chief Tong Na felt a little painful. He was reluctant to give the eggs to his grandson, but because of those bastards, he had to give the egg subsidy to outsiders.
well……
It hurts so much!
"Ming Qi lost so much blood, and ten eggs made up for it? Did you know that when Ming Qi came back that day, he was covered in blood and had lost his human form..." said Wumu Village Chief, "I asked the mountain god to help, and he lay there for a whole day and night. You can imagine how badly he was injured."
Village chief Tong Na reluctantly took out another ten copper coins and said, "That's all I have. It's really all I have."
The village chief Wumu said with disdain: "What use is there for Mingqi with your few copper coins? It's only enough to buy a few buns. He's a child and can't even go to town, so forget it. If you really want to compensate him, ask those people to help him save a house."
"Saving for a house?" Village Chief Tong Na was shocked. "The house you are talking about is not a brick house, right?"
He swallowed and felt that Village Chief Wumu was going too far. He was asking for too much.
The people in their village don't know how long it will take to save up enough to buy a house. If they want to save up a house for Ming Qi...
Even if you beat him to death, he can't "convince" those bastards.
We can't ask him to help with the pad, right?
