The people who left the village found the treasure!
Those treasures turned out to be all kinds of weapons!
The news quickly spread throughout Jiuyou Mountain Village.
Xiao Jiuchen asked Zhu Chuanming to return to the village first and prepare a place to store weapons.
He stayed in Yonglin Mountain and organized his brothers to transport the weapons out.
Luo Qingqing followed Zhu Chuanming back to the village and assisted Zhu Chuanming in registering the weapons.
The already busy village became even busier because of the task of transporting weapons.
In troubled times, having weapons is like having something to save your life.
No one complained about the tiring and hard work of transporting weapons. Instead, they were extremely excited about it.
Everyone chatted after dinner, and their expressions were full of pride and satisfaction.
"In the past, our village was poor, and we were lucky enough to have enough to eat. Only those who joined the guards had powerful weapons like swords and spears. Now, our village has suddenly gained so many weapons. Maybe everyone will have a sword in the future."
"You know the Big Bear Village next door, right? They have over a thousand people in the village, but only a little over a hundred swords. Hahahaha... Just the amount we brought back in one trip was over a hundred."
"Next time I go out for a drink in the mountains, I'm going to brag to others about it."
"Old Hong, you can't spread this. The Third Village Chief said that those weapons don't have any markings on them. They must be ownerless. But precisely because they are ownerless, anyone could become their owner."
"Yes, that makes sense. Even though we've got the weapons back, if a group of people show up one day and claim they own them and want to take them back, we'll have to fight them fiercely."
“Wealth should not be shown off; we should know how to hide our shortcomings.”
.......
Three months later, all the weapons were moved back to the mountain stronghold.
It happened to be the annual Dragon Boat Festival at this time, and the village held a grand celebration.
One was to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival, and the other was to celebrate the village's unexpected acquisition of a large number of weapons.
On the Dragon Boat Festival, the weather is clear and sunny, which is a good time to hold dragon boat races.
More than a dozen small boats were neatly arranged in the middle of the river, waiting for the order from the third leader Zhu Chuanming on the shore, and then they would rush forward bravely.
According to the rules of the mountain village, each small boat is led by the village chief or manager.
Luo Qingqing was unexpectedly assigned to be the leader of a small boat.
Many people have raised objections to this matter.
When everyone learned that this was Xiao Jiuchen's order, no one dared to object.
Many people started discussing it privately.
"Luo Qing is not only literate, but also very skilled in martial arts. Even the second leader was defeated by him, which shows how powerful he is."
"Luo Qing's ability is one thing, but I also heard that when the village chief and his men were out, Luo Qing saved his life. Now Luo Qing is the village chief's brother, so it's no surprise that he is valued by the village chief."
"It seems that Luo Qing may become the fourth village leader."
There were already many women in the village who liked Luo Qingqing.
Now that Luo Qingqing is recognized by Xiao Jiuchen, her status is extraordinary, which makes the women who admire Luo Qingqing even more crazy.
Luo Qingqing initially resisted being assigned to be the leader of the dragon boat.
The more you do, the more chances you have of making mistakes; if you don't do anything, you will never make mistakes.
She lies down whenever she can.
Xiao Jiuchen said with a hint of regret, "It turns out that Xiao Luoqing doesn't want the 100 taels of silver reward for the dragon boat race."
Luo Qingqing's eyes widened immediately. "Huh? 100 taels?!"
Xiao Jiuchen smiled and said, "Well, first place gets 100 taels, second place gets 50 taels, and third place gets 20 taels."
Luo Qingqing's eyes lit up when she heard this.
She hasn't touched money since she entered the mountain village.
Although there is no worry about food and clothing in the mountain village, who in this world would complain about having too much money?
She nodded repeatedly: "I'll go, I'll go..."
More than a dozen small boats are ready to set sail.
Xiao Jiuchen sat on the bow of one of the small boats with one of his long legs folded over.
He casually tossed a few peanuts into his mouth, looked at the tense Luo Qingqing and said, "Little Luo Qing, I don't mean to discourage you, but with your tiny arms and legs, it's going to be very difficult for you to win against our group."
Luo Qingqing made a face at him, "Brother Xiao, if I beat your group, what will you do?"
Xiao Jiuchen laughed heartily as if he had heard a huge joke. "Xiao Luoqing, if you can beat our group, I will personally reward you with 100 taels of silver and let you go to Qinglan Town at the foot of the mountain for a drink."
Wow!
Ha ha!
The members of Luo Qingqing's group burst into cheers.
They were all shoulder to shoulder, all as excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood.
Zhu Chuanming stood on the shore and said a few symbolic words on behalf of the village.
Then, he held up a flag and shouted, "Ready! Go!"
As soon as Zhu Chuanming finished speaking, more than a dozen small boats rushed out like arrows.
The speed is so fast that it is unimaginable.
The people on the boat moved in unison, each of them using all their strength to paddle.
More than a dozen small boats were chasing each other, refusing to give in.
Everybody wants to be first, everybody wants to win money.
The river was bustling with activity.
The crowd watching the game on the shore was equally enthusiastic.
They waved wild flowers and branches and cheered for their favorite team.
"Come on, great leader! Come on, great leader!"
