"You bastard, you didn't tell anyone about such a big thing."
When Uncle Jiu saw that there was no one around, he walked over to the stool next to him and sat down.
After seeing An Jingzhi's figure, his anxious heart finally settled down.
He called the man over and wanted to ask him what had happened during this period of time. He wanted to hear An Jingzhi explain it in detail himself.
An Jingzhi glanced at him warily, "Then please don't do it again, old man."
Uncle Nine glanced at him with disdain, "If I really wanted to attack you, would you have been able to dodge it just now?"
An Jingzhi: “…”
I want to refute, but there seems to be nothing wrong with what he said. Don't look at the other person's old age, he is very agile when hitting people!
At least as far as I can remember, the original owner never managed to escape once.
"Tell me what's going on?"
"The housekeeper went to the village and told me about it, but I don't believe it."
An Jingzhi understood that Uncle Nine was the most astute one. As long as he could fool the other party, the others would not be a problem.
He wiped his face and prepared to start making up a story, no, to start telling about his tragic experience.
"I didn't expect things to turn out like this."
"Aren't there often small vendors passing by the foot of the mountain in our village?"
"You know I don't like hunting or working in the fields."
Uncle Jiu rolled his eyes at him and said nothing.
"I thought at the time, how great it would be to be a businessman, I could travel around and see everything."
"I begged the merchant to take me with him, and he agreed, willing to let me work with him as an assistant."
"I was afraid that everyone would laugh at me, so I deliberately said that I was following a big businessman."
Uncle Jiu nodded respectfully. That’s right. Where did these big businessmen come from at the foot of the mountain?
This kid has been very concerned about his reputation since he was young, so this explains it.
An Jingzhi saw him nod and continued, "I was halfway with the merchant when I suddenly heard shouts of fighting and killing ahead. I wanted to hide with him, but it was too late."
"The merchant couldn't put down his goods, so the thieves caught up with him and hacked him to death."
Uncle Jiu's eyes flashed with worry, and An Jingzhi continued:
"I was lucky and escaped."
"I originally thought that even though I would lose face, I would still be able to return to the village safely, but I didn't expect to meet a noble young master on the way."
"The noble young master was injured. When he saw me, he gave me a few taels of silver and asked me to help him find some medicinal herbs and take care of him. After he recovered, he would give me more rewards. I agreed."
Uncle Jiu looked at him with disappointment, having already believed the story made up by An Jingzhi.
"You're just greedy! How can you get involved in something like this?"
"I didn't expect it to turn out like this." He looked like he was just trying to make some money.
"What happened next? Please continue to tell me what happened next." Uncle Jiu urged.
The old butler only talked about the general situation and did not mention the details.
"Later, in order to earn the money, I found some herbs for him, shared the dry food I brought with him, and took care of him for several days."
"I didn't expect that he would be found by those who were chasing him in the end."
"That noble young master knew he couldn't run fast, so he gave me his ID. He also taught me some noble ways and told me to go to Qucheng to get him reinforcements."
"I didn't expect that the young nobleman was killed in the end. I was chased by the soldiers and fell off a cliff. I hit my head and lost my memory."
"Fortunately, I survived the ordeal. I don't remember anything at the time. I only found these documents on my body, and then I made my way to Qucheng. I was mistaken for the young nobleman and became the mayor of Qucheng."
"At first I was confused and didn't understand anything. Later, my memory gradually returned, and I was very scared."
"Pretending to be a noble will result in death."
"If my true identity is exposed, I'm afraid it will also bring trouble to the village."
"So I could only pretend that I hadn't recovered my memory yet, but I was afraid everyone would worry, so I secretly sent someone to send a message back."
When Uncle Nine heard this, he felt so distressed for An Jingzhi, "You little kid, I misunderstood you."
"Thank you for your hard work during this period."
"You can't even take care of yourself, and yet you're still thinking of sending us compost and fertilizer."
He used to think that this kid had impure intentions and might get into trouble if he went out, and would bring disaster to the villagers.
It turns out that this kid is in such danger, but he is still thinking about the village.
An Jingzhi continued, "The villagers fed me and allowed me to grow up without worries about food and clothing. You are all my family."
He seemed not to be used to Uncle Nine's praise, and said a little embarrassedly:
"I know everyone values grain. Our village is not far from Qucheng. The method of increasing grain production will spread to the village sooner or later. I am also worried that the villagers will use it carelessly."
"Okay, okay, okay!" Uncle Jiu said three times and patted An Jingzhi's shoulder heavily.
"You're a good kid."
Then he thought of An Jingzhi's current situation and asked solemnly, "That old housekeeper and those soldiers know your identity. Will there be any trouble?"
An Jingzhi shook his head and said confidently, "Don't worry, you don't have to worry about these things. The old butler is very loyal to me, and those soldiers were also recruited and trained by me personally."
"You may not know yet, but when I confessed my identity to the old housekeeper, he cried and begged to go back to our village with me."
"If your identity is exposed..."
An Jingzhi explained the current situation in the world to reassure Uncle Jiu.
