Chapter 19: The Village Headquarters

When they reached the original meadow, Jiang Qingwan was preparing to go down the mountain separately from Lu Yujue.

"I'm going down the mountain, and I still have to take the hogweed to the cowshed. The scorekeeper will definitely deduct cents from me."

Seeing that Jiang Qingwan was leaving, Lu Yujue saw that she was a little distressed, so he suggested, "I'll go with you."

"As for the centimeter matter, I went to talk to the village chief and said that if I encountered a snake on the mountain, I would give the dead snake directly to the village. The snake meat is edible."

Jiang Qingwan paused after hearing what he said, thought for a moment and then agreed directly.

So the two of them first went to the place where Lu Yujue killed the snake. That place was relatively close to the mountain col, and they would have to go deep into the mountain if they walked in.

Lu Yujue used some relatively tough rattan to trap the snake's body, dragged the dead snake and let the little girl walk in front, while he walked behind to keep a distance.

He could tell that the little girl seemed to be afraid of snakes. She always stayed far away, not daring to glance at the snake. She pretended to look around, and occasionally pulled the weeds around to distract her attention.

After descending from the mountain, Lu Yujuan and the little girl went to the cowshed to graze the cattle. The cowshed was at the foot of the mountain, not far from the main house of the Jiang family. It was originally a place where the main house of the Jiang family raised livestock.

The only three cows in the village are raised in the cowshed. The dirty work of feeding the cows and cleaning the cowshed is exclusively done by special people who live in the cowshed.

When Jiang Qingwan arrived at the cattle pen, she saw an older man cleaning the slightly dilapidated cattle pen.

The old man looks a bit older, with a slightly stooped body, silver hair on his temples, an old and sunken face, covered with deep wrinkles, and weathered eyes.

But he has a slightly different temperament from the village.

The old man raised his head when he saw someone. When he saw the person, his eyes flashed with light, but the interval between appearing and disappearing was extremely fast. Jiang Qingwan did not notice the change in Lu Yujue's expression behind him, and was just busy putting the basket on his back.

of cow grass placed in the cow pen.

While Jiang Qingwan lowered his head to handle the cow grass, Lu Yujuan placed the ginseng wrapped in leaves in his hand in a shaded place outside the cow pen, and pointed his eyes at the place where the old man put the ginseng without saying a word.

Qingwan didn't notice the eye contact between the two.

After finishing the cow grass, Jiang Qingwan and Lu Yujuan went to find the village chief. The village chief and other responsible persons, such as the accountant, usually handle village affairs in a house in the village. There was an abandoned house that was renovated.

, this place is near Shaiguchang.

Therefore, Lu Yujue did not go directly, but waited in a remote corner of the grain drying field to avoid the dead snake causing panic to the workers in the grain drying field. After all, the snake was quite big.

A few women and young girls were sorting and inspecting the harvested peanut crops under the shade of the trees in the drying field. Seeing Jiang Qingwan passing by the drying field, she suddenly seemed to have something to talk about. The muttering and discussion gradually became louder.

Gossip while working.

At this time, in a room, the village chief was discussing some things with several people in the village in the office. He heard someone knocking on the door. He looked up and saw Jiang Qingwan standing outside the door. He stopped and asked in a gentle tone, "Big

Ah, why are you here? Did something happen? Are you feeling unwell? I have something to tell Third Grandpa."

The village chief's series of concerned questions made Jiang Qingwan feel warm in her heart, so she looked at the village chief and shook her head, "Grandpa Third, I'm fine. I just encountered a snake when I went up the mountain."

When the village chief heard that he had encountered a snake, his expression suddenly became cautious. He glanced at Jiang Qingwan again. It seemed that she was fine.

Among the middle-aged men on the side, a dark-skinned middle-aged man said in a low voice, "I just encountered a snake, what's the fuss about?"

This middle-aged man is called Li Baozhu, and Li is the second most common surname in the village.
