Li Qingling nodded at Liu Zhimo, allowing him to tell the village chief about him hunting."Cun Zhangyeye, we came here to tell you about this."
"You guys don"t need to worry about this. This rumor will be over soon." The Village Chief thought that Li Qingling and Liu Zhimo were still worried about the rumors, so he repeated his words to comfort them.
They were grateful to the Village Chief for his concern for them. It was precisely because of this that they could not continue to hide it from him.
Liu Zhimo shook the village head, "Cun Zhangyeye, wait, listen to me first, okay?" The Village Chief was a very good village chief. It was precisely because of him that the villagers were able to enjoy a good atmosphere despite the fact that their village was a bit poor.
"Alright, then tell me!" The village chief took out some smoke and took a deep breath. He looked at Liu Zhimo, listening to what he had to say.
Liu Zhimo slowly told him about how he went hunting with Li Qingling in the Matsuyama.
As soon as he finished speaking, the Village Chief choked on his cigarette, tears streaming down his face.
Who would have thought that the rumor spread by the villagers was actually true?
"You all … You didn"t lie to me, did you? " He wiped his tears and looked at Li Qingling and Liu Zhimo, "Did you guys really go to Matsuyama to hunt?"
He also knew about the Matsuyama, but he heard that even the old hunters would not dare to go there to hunt! How could the two kids dare to go?
"Cun Zhangyeye, we won"t joke around with something like this." Liu Zhimo looked at Li Qingling, then spoke out, "The reason why we came here to tell you is so that you can tell this to the villagers, but there is one thing you must know, Matsuyama is extremely dangerous, people with no experience, it"s best not to go, if you lose your life, then don"t blame it on us."
People are always greedy, if the villagers follow their prey deep into the mountains, and something happens to them, and then they pin their guilt on them, then they will be wronged, and they will have to say ugly things first.
The Village Chief took two deep breaths and looked at the smoke ring. After a while, he nodded his head.
"Don"t worry. If you tell the villagers, you will definitely make everything clear."
Their village"s land was not very fertile, and the villagers" lives weren"t too good either. It was all because of the belt in their pants. The smell of meat was very long, so it was hard to see them again.
If he told them that the Matsuyama had food, the villagers would definitely be willing to look for food there.
It was just that that place was extremely dangerous. A moment of carelessness could mean certain death.
Thinking of this, he started to worry again.
"Ink, who told you there was food in Matsuyama in the beginning?" The village chief"s eyes lit up as he looked at Liu Zhimo. In his eyes, Liu Zhimo was a cultured person who knew how to read and write, and he understood a lot of things.
Liu Zhimo laughed bitterly and pointed at Li Qingling. She could not hide this matter from her, she might as well confess it all at once.
His eyes turned towards Li Qingling, causing the village chief to be truly shocked, "Xiao Ling, you … How did you know Matsuyama had food? "
Li Qingling knew that she would not be able to dodge it this time, and smiled at the village head, "I don"t know, it"s just that there"s nothing to eat in my house, there"s nothing I can do, I can only try, then I"ll go to Matsuyama to try my luck." This was also the truth. Back then, she had indeed gone to the Matsuyama with the mindset of giving it a try.
"Then... "Can you hunt?" The Village Chief took a glance at Li Qingling"s pet.i.te body. He felt that she should be the one accompanying Li Qingling when she went hunting, right?
expressed his understanding, "Cun Zhangyeye, did you forget that my father is a good hunter? When he was still alive, did you bring me up the mountain?" Fortunately, the original owner often went hunting in the mountains with her father.
Hearing this, the Village Chief slapped his head in realization. He was truly old and had even forgotten about this matter.
Li Laigui was indeed a good hand at hunting in the village. If not for the plague that took his life, Li Qingling"s family would not have lived such a miserable life.
He sighed, and looked at Li Qingling with gratification in her eyes, "Good, good, not bad. Your father will definitely be very happy to know that you"re so capable." Unfortunately, he wasn"t a boy!
Li Qingling laughed, she told the village chief about the details of hunting in the Matsuyama, and had the village head pa.s.s it on to the villagers, telling them to pay attention to their safety.
When the village chief heard this, he nodded his head repeatedly. He was also grateful for the two children"s confessions.
"Cun Zhangyeye, you must warn them over and over again not to go deep into the mountains. Li Qingling was a little worried, so she told him about her and Liu Zhimo"s encounter with the tiger and bear blind. Of course it was to hide the death of the tiger and bear blind, she did not want others to know that her family had money.
This frightened the village chief. He clasped his hands together and chanted a few words of Bodhisattva blessing.
After he finished reciting, he scolded Li Qingling and Liu Zhimo, telling them not to do this anymore.
Li Qingling and Liu Zhimo looked at each other and agreed.
After the village chief finished scolding them with much difficulty, Li Qingling and Yue Yang bid their farewell.
After the two of them left, the village chief"s eldest son, Li Zhu, came in. The village chief knocked on his pipe and said to his eldest son, "Those two children are not simple! In the future when I"m not around anymore, don"t neglect them either. " Those two children would definitely not be bad in the future.
Li Shi Shi sat at the side and said disapprovingly, "Dad, it"s just two children without any parents, what"s so special about it?" In his eyes, she was just a little brat. Where else could he go?
Staring at Li Jun, the village chief tapped Li Shi Shi Shi"s head with the pipe and scolded, "I"ve told you so many times, don"t underestimate anyone." This is exactly why his son thought too highly of himself, "Tell me, do you dare to go to the Matsuyama to hunt by yourself? "Do you dare?"
If he was going to act the same as before, he would have to consider whether he should take this position or not.
Li Shi Shi Shi held his head and looked at his father in disbelief, stuttering, "What? He … Did they really go? This isn"t … Isn"t that a rumor? " If that was the case, then he couldn"t underestimate those two children.
Not even an adult would have the guts to casually go hunting in the Matsuyama, let alone a child.
The village chief exhaled as he glanced at his eldest son. En, he repeated what Li Qingling had told him to her eldest son, including the incident where he met the tiger and bear blind.
"Tell me, can such a child be simple?"
Li Zhu scratched his head and shook his head. "It"s not simple." He recalled the miserable state Lai Zili was in, "That Li Qingling, even though she is still young, and has some ruthlessness, I could tell what happened with Lai Zili last time." After this incident, he really couldn"t underestimate those two children.
Perhaps, they would really be able to achieve great things.
"That"s right, it"s not simple at all!" The village chief sighed, he was old, his memory was poor, and had forgotten about Lai Zili. Otherwise, he would not think that since Li Qingling was young and could not hunt, he could shoot as many as he wanted!
"Dad, are you going to tell everyone about this tomorrow?"
"Yes, we will tell this to everyone tomorrow." The village chief stood up and said, "Sleep early. Tomorrow morning, you will go inform everyone to gather at the threshing floor." He returned to his room with his hands behind his back.
The next morning, the entire village gathered at the threshing floor as they discussed in low voices. They wondered why the village chief had called them here.
The Village Chief stood on top and waved his hand at the villagers below. The villagers immediately quietened down and stared at the Village Chief with fixed eyes.
Clearing his throat, the Village Chief looked at the villagers and said loudly, "The reason why we gathered here today is because we have something important to tell everyone." For this matter, he tossed and turned all night long, unable to fall asleep.
He thought about it, if he told this to the villagers, and the villagers went to Matsuyama, and something happened to them, what would he do?
It was near dawn before he made up his mind. Tell them, and let them decide for themselves whether they go or not.
"Village Chief, what"s the matter?"
"Yes?" Is it a tax cut this year? "
Every year, they would have to pay taxes for the food, which was what hurt the most in the village.
"Quiet, quiet …" When the villagers had calmed down, he continued, "Today, the thing that I want to tell you all is that Matsuyama has something to eat."
"What?" "What do you mean?" The villagers looked at the village chief in shock. What did this mean?
The Village Chief took in a deep breath and told them everything in a loud voice. Then, he warned them, "If anyone goes and something happens, they will bear the consequences themselves. Do you understand?"
He was the one who announced this. If something were to happen and everyone came to find him, would he even need to live?
The threshing floor was quiet. After a while, someone asked, "Is this true?"
The fact that the Matsuyama had something to eat made the villagers both excited and suspicious.
"This is true." The village chief looked at Li Qingling, he waved his hand at her and had her stand by his side, "Regarding this, let Xiao Ling tell you about it."
Li Qingling walked up somewhat helplessly. If it wasn"t for the village chief who asked her to come, she really wouldn"t want to come.
Last night, when she told the Village Chief about this matter, she was able to completely shake off the boss. However, she didn"t expect that she would be dragged into this matter in the end.
The people of the village looked at Li Qingling who had a calm expression and their ears stretched out as they listened to what she said. They all knew that she had bought two sheep, could it be that it was her who had gone hunting to earn money?
If it really was like that, then Matsuyama would have quite a bit of food.
Li Qingling swept her eyes across the villagers, and said with a clear and cold voice: "If I want to say it, Cun Zhangyeye has already said it. But, I"ll warn you once again, Matsuyama is in danger, if you want to go, you must pay attention to your safety, and you must also remember to never go deep into the mountains." With that, she nodded to the village chief and left.
When the villagers heard this, they were so excited that they started discussing amongst themselves about when they would go to Matsuyama to find food.
Since Li Qingling was able to find something to eat at such a young age, they would definitely be able to as well.
