Moreover, Xu Xuan spoke gently and would teach the children to read and write whenever he had time, which made the children very happy.
Ever since coming to the mountain village, it has become a problem to even have enough food to eat, let alone study.
After all, this is a mountain village, and there is always work to do every day.
The village chief was willing to take them in, but not out of kindness.
However, Duan Qingxi thought that Xu Xuan had other intentions in doing this.
He probably just felt that he couldn't leave here in a short time, so he wanted to win the favor of these old people and children. He probably thought that when someone led troops to attack one day, he could appeal to these people's emotions and reason.
Otherwise, we wouldn't be so indifferent to everyone else except the elderly and children.
Helian Sheng was calm. Every day he would either stroll around the village, practice martial arts in the back mountains, or occasionally have a drink with the village chief and chat about life.
To be honest, before coming here, Duan Qingxi really thought that Helian Sheng would act like a prince.
But after coming here, not only did he not put on airs, he also portrayed the role of Dongfang Yan, a down-and-out young man who had no choice but to temporarily live in the village, to the fullest.
If this were in the capital, how could he possibly drink and chat about life with others like this?
So inexplicably, Duan Qingxi had a little more appreciation for this man.
Compared to those men who only pretend to be cool and have a blank expression all the time, she relatively speaking prefers those who know how to change their expression in any situation.
After waiting for about half a month, the person Helian Sheng was waiting for finally arrived.
Although the village chief had a good relationship with Helian Sheng, he still avoided Helian Sheng when it came to matters of life and death.
midnight.
The village chief was sitting on the bed in his room and was about to take off his clothes and go to bed to rest when he heard a strange noise coming from the back window.
Only the village chief himself understood what this sound meant, so he quickly put on his clothes and ran towards the woods.
After stopping deep in the woods, the village chief walked behind a man in a black robe.
The man had his back to him, but he knew he was coming, so when he was about one meter away from him, he turned around and looked at him.
To be honest, it was the middle of the night and there was no lantern, and the person was wearing a black robe, but the village chief was still able to see the other person. His eyesight is really amazing!
The village chief stopped half a meter away from the man before bowing to the black-robed man and whispering, "Greetings, sir."
"Um."
The man's voice was a little muffled and sounded abnormal, probably because he was wearing a mask.
The village chief was used to this man's mysterious identity, but he also knew he was Qin Yong's man, so he didn't pay much attention to it. He just asked, "I wonder why you suddenly came here, sir? Is there anything important that the Prime Minister wants to tell you?"
The man asked, "Has there been any unusual activity in the village these past few days?"
The village chief didn't dare to hide anything and said, "Three guests came. Two of them were captured by us at the foot of the mountain. They are simply the sons of impoverished families. Because they were seriously injured, they wanted to use our village to help them get what they deserved. I agreed. This person is indeed willing to cooperate with us. After all, his family is very wealthy."
After a pause, he continued, "The remaining one is Xu Xuan, the newly appointed county magistrate from a few towns next door. I think he's a good person, so I'd like to spend some time recruiting him. If he doesn't work out, I'll kill him."
The man had already inquired about it before coming, and he was asking now just to test the village chief's loyalty.
After seeing that he had told him everything honestly, he nodded with satisfaction.
