...
Qin Xuelian wasn't a greedy person. On the contrary, she was easily satisfied.
As such, she wasn't overly envious of the person who received the gold ingot. Instead, she clutched the ten silvers in her hands excitedly. She hummed a tune as she walked towards the mud hut.
When she passed by the Li Family's courtyard, Qin Xuelian even snorted lightly, slightly pleased. Fang Houde had the same personality.
In Fang Houde's heart, to have such a beautiful wife like Qin Xuelian was enough to make him go crazy. Furthermore, this beautiful wife even 'cleverly' earned ten silvers today.
How could he not be shocked, how could he not be happy?
Yet...
Surprises, if they really came one after another, it would always make people feel strangely 'crazy'.
Fang Houde was currently feeling this way.
Because, he had kicked gold!
It was a bright and shiny piece of gold!
On the way home, he kicked it, causing it to roll. That sound, that feeling, it was indescribably amazing!
"Gold!" Fang Houde's eyeballs were about to pop out.
With a leap, like a hungry tiger pouncing on its prey, he grabbed the gold ingot in his hands.
"Where did this gold come from? It looks so familiar! Like the gold ingot of the Divine Constabulary missus. Could it be that when the child on the stage ran away, he accidentally dropped it on the ground? "Qin Xuelian looked at the gold ingot in Fang Houde's hands, similarly shocked.
Fang Zhengzhi was leaning his ear against the wall, listening to the conversation between Qin Xuelian and Fang Houde. He felt somewhat helpless. He had thought of many ways to give the gold to Qin Xuelian and Fang Houde.
But in the end, he still decided to use this method. Because, it was sufficiently safe, and most importantly, there was no evidence!
But, he didn't quite understand. These two people outside the wall, they had already picked up the gold ingot, why didn't they hurry and run? Wait for the owner to claim it?
Don't be so stupid as to 'hand it over to the country'!
That would really make him vomit a few liters of blood...
"Why don't we first hand it over to the village chief, then let the village chief ask who lost the gold ingot?" Fang Houde held the gold ingot in his hands and asked Qin Xuelian for her opinion.
Boom!
Just as Fang Zhengzhi was about to throw a brick at his simple-minded father, Qin Xuelian had already smacked Fang Houde's head.
"Are you stupid? This is gold, we should keep it for Zhengzhi's future wife! "Although Qin Xuelian wasn't greedy, she wasn't stupid enough to pick up gold and hand it over.
Furthermore, Fang Houde said that he would hand it over to the Village Chief.
When she thought of the fact that the village chief had given the Li family a place for the examination, she couldn't help but feel angry.
"Madam, you are right. Keep this gold for Zhengzhi's wife!" Fang Houde immediately smiled apologetically and handed the gold to Qin Xuelian respectfully.
"That's more like it!" Qin Xuelian stuffed the gold into her pocket, then, she suddenly thought of something, "The person on the stage, don't tell me it's Zheng 'er?"
Behind the wall, Fang Zhengzhi broke out in cold sweat. His mother was not easy to deal with!
…
By the time Qin Xuelian and Fang Houde pushed open the fence and returned to the house, Fang Zhengzhi was already lying on his bed, "asleep" …
Qin Xuelian and Fang Houde looked at each other, smiled, and left the room.
When the two of them left the house, Fang Zhengzhi opened his eyes. The matter of the gold had been resolved, but there was another matter that puzzled him.
Sitting on his bed, he gently pushed open the small window beside his bed and gazed at the starry sky outside. The scene he saw in the day surfaced in his mind.
Did I solve the Illustration of All Creation?
Fang Zhengzhi wasn't sure. After some thought, he decided to try again.
The intelligence of humans was limitless. Every day had its own training, every month had its own training. Hold your breath, calm your breath, inhale …
In one night, Fang Zhengzhi deeply felt the "Heaven and Earth", then tried to absorb the "spiritual energy" according to the breathing method. In the end …
The true name of the spiritual energy he was absorbing was "Northwest Wind".
Helpless, he gave up.
"God damn it, where are my Fire Plume Chickens? Why is one missing! "Just as he was about to sleep, a shrill voice came from the neighboring courtyard.
Fang Zhengzhi twitched his mouth and casually covered himself with his blanket …
…
Ten days later, a troop arrived at the Southern Mountain Village. Two horse carriages and more than ten armoured soldiers.
Even though this troop wasn't big, it made the entire Southern Mountain Village bustle with noise and excitement. Village Chief Meng Bai quickly gathered the villagers and ordered a huge banquet to be held in the village square to celebrate.
The establishment of a Hall of Dao was a joyous event that would make all the villages drool with envy. It represented that the Southern Mountain Village was bathed in the glory of the Divine Constabulary.
Very quickly, a wooden memorial arch appeared in the ancestral hall of the Southern Mountain Village. On it were the words "Divine Constabulary".
After kneeling and paying respects to the memorial arch, Village Chief Meng Bai held a pipe in one hand and a bowl of wine in the other. His face was flushed and he smiled brightly.
"Fellow villagers, this time the Divine Constabulary has set up a Hall of Dao in our Southern Mountain Village. This is our Southern Mountain Village's great fortune. From today onwards, our Southern Mountain Village will also have an important person who understands the Law of Dao …"
After a series of opening remarks, Village Chief Meng Bai downed the wine in his bowl in one gulp and took another puff of his pipe. Then, he grinned and introduced the two men in robes beside him.
Following that was the two men's speech.
Fang Zhengzhi originally thought that it would take some time, but he didn't expect that after a simple introduction, the two men shut their mouths.
Evidently, after a long journey, the two men seemed to be hungry.
Finally, the banquet officially began.
Tens of large tables were placed in the village square. The villagers were all extremely generous, each holding a large bowl of wine and drinking. Fang Zhengzhi, on the other hand, looked at the villagers at the same table thoughtfully.
"Uncle, uncle, today someone asked me, what kind of thing has legs but can't walk? Do you know? "
When the villagers heard this, they instantly became confused.
Legs but can't walk?
"Is it the fish from the river?"
"How is that possible? That's the tail of a fish, not its feet!"
"..."
As the answers came out one by one, the debate among the villagers became more and more intense, continuously discussing their own answers. There were even a few villagers who fell into deep thought.
As for Fang Zhengzhi...
He used all his strength to pick up the food!
...
After the banquet ended, the village square seemed somewhat messy. The men of the village swung their hands and left, leaving behind a group of women to clean up the battlefield.
Even though Fang Zhengzhi was only six years old, he was lucky enough to be classified as a man, hence, he didn't need to clean up the dishes. It was still early, so he took a stroll in the village with his short legs...
"Fang Zhengzhi, let's play hide and seek!"
"Not playing."
Fang Zhengzhi very sternly rejected the invitation of a little boy with a runny nose.
"Fang Zhengzhi, let's go swim in the river!"
"Is your sister going?"
"My sister is still helping to clean up the dishes …"
"Not going!"
"..."
After a long stroll, Fang Zhengzhi was somewhat tired and prepared to go home to rest.
Just as he returned to the house, before he even had time to lie down, he heard his mother Qin Xuelian's excited shout from outside the door.
