Several people immediately looked at each other, obviously not believing it. After all, it was just empty talk.

Cheng Hao could only say helplessly: "Don't be afraid, everyone. Although I am from the Security Bureau, this is not what I do for my job. Think about it, reselling some antiques is nothing. At most, it is a crime of greed. It can be compared with

What does national security have to do with it?

Besides, this is purely for personal reasons. Of course, if you don’t believe it, then I can’t help it. According to the rules, I can also get the whereabouts of this incense burner. What do you think, everyone?”

As he said that, Cheng Hao's eyes became slightly colder, and then he slightly released the pressure of his own cultivation.

Suddenly, several old men, including the village chief, began to tremble slightly. They could hardly hold the wine glass in their hands and almost dropped it on the table.

Fortunately, Cheng Hao only showed it for a fleeting moment and immediately restrained himself. Everyone also quickly restrained themselves from losing their temper, and suddenly looked at each other with a guilty conscience.

There is a saying that goes well, people become better with age!

Everyone quickly reached an agreement in the collision of eyes.

The village chief put down his wine glass, sat upright and said: "Little brother, it's fair to say that our small mountain village is a remote place with a population of only a hundred or so. In such a small place, there is not much oil and water. To be honest, brother, I

I have long since stopped wanting to be the village chief. I am really promoted by everyone, so I have to take on this responsibility.

It's a pity that in our place, there are no specialty products, no ores, and we can't grow many crops. We can only make a living.

As the head of a village, I felt heartbroken when I saw how poor the people were, so I decided to sell the incense burner. No matter how much it is, it is still a little benefit, and it is worthy of the title of head of a village."

With a choked tone, the village chief said these "heartfelt words" word for word. In the final analysis, he had to excuse himself first and make it clear: I am doing this for the sake of these hundreds of people.

made!

However, Cheng Hao doesn't care about this. Of course, Cheng Hao doesn't think there's anything wrong with the village chief doing this. After all, in a place like this, the young and the strong are all gone, leaving only the old, weak, sick and disabled. How can we develop the economy?

.

Cheng Hao nodded and said directly: "Village chief, just tell me the whereabouts of this incense burner. People like us may die for our country at some point. We will be a lonely ghost by then. I'm afraid there won't even be a person to collect the body."

No, just tell me, it will be of great benefit to you."

With that said, Cheng Hao put his hand into his pocket, used the cover of his pocket to take out 50,000 yuan in cash from the storage ring, put it on the dinner table, and said:

"To tell you the truth, people like us are not short of money. You just need to tell me the whereabouts of this incense burner, and the cash will be yours. When I get the incense burner and make my old man happy, I will give you ten more

Ten thousand!"

A group of people looked at the 50,000 yuan piled up in front of Cheng Hao, and they all immediately became stunned. When they heard that there would be another 100,000 yuan after the deal was completed, their eyes suddenly glowed green, and they were obviously very excited.

The village chief secretly thought something was wrong. He took in everyone's expressions with his eyes. As the village chief, he knew very well what kind of virtue these people had. There is a saying: Money can make ghosts go around, let alone people. What if?

Let others seize this opportunity...

Thinking of this, the village chief immediately patted Cheng Hao on the shoulder without waiting for anyone else to speak, and laughed loudly: "Young brother is so young, but you are really young and promising!

Since the little brother has said so, this is not a big deal. Come on, follow me, I have something to show you."

With that said, the village chief slapped Chenghao heavily on the shoulder, stood up and walked into the back room.

Sensing the village chief's intention, Cheng Hao casually collected the cash on the table and was about to stand up when an old man next to him pulled Cheng Hao back with a smile like a lotus flower. He picked up the wine bottle with one hand and said with a smile:

"Come on, little brother, when I see you, I feel like... I feel like old friends at first sight! There are some things that I can say."

As he said that, he looked at Cheng Hao with a special look. Cheng Hao smiled slightly, shook off his hand without leaving a trace, and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll have a chat with you later."

After saying that, he followed the village chief into the back room.

Inside is a bedroom with an earthen bed, which is also a place for cooking. This is the case in rural areas in the north. A stove has both the functions of cooking and heating.

And the most typical one is that there is a table on the earthen kang. The middle-aged woman who just gave Cheng Hao the dishes and chopsticks, and a girl in her early fifteen or sixteen years are sitting cross-legged on the kang, eating food.

Suddenly she saw the village chief and a strange young man walking in. The middle-aged woman immediately put down the bowl in her hand and went to the ground to put on her shoes. She smiled slightly sourly at Cheng Hao. Maybe it could be seen from Cheng Hao's clothes.

This person comes from a big city and is afraid that others will look down on them as rural people.

But the girl opened her big eyes and looked at Cheng Hao curiously. After all, in her knowledge, she had never seen such a handsome, clean and good-looking big brother.

Cheng Hao smiled at the middle-aged woman, nodded slightly, said hello, and also smiled at the little girl on the kang.

The village chief sat down on the kang, picked up a box of cigarettes from the kang, pulled out two cigarettes, and handed one to Cheng Hao.

Cheng Hao took it casually. Cigarettes are basically naughty children who have tried them when they were young. Some people find them easy to smoke, or they look cool, so they smoke them secretly. Of course, Cheng Hao also

I tried it when I was a kid, but I didn't get hooked on it.

But cigarettes sometimes play a very important role in the interactions between men. At the same time, they can also more or less reflect a person's true inner thoughts.

For example, if someone offers you a cigarette, whether you accept it or not reflects your attitude. Passing cigarettes usually occurs when asking someone to do something, or to please your boss, etc.

When someone with a lower status offers you a cigarette and you don't accept it, it means that you can't see him clearly from the inside; if you accept it, it's just an acceptance, which means there is still some drama; if you accept it, you are calm.

If you start smoking freely, the person who hands you the cigarette will feel as if he is being lifted up, and he will definitely smile and be in a good mood.

Unfortunately, Cheng Hao didn't have a lighter, so he couldn't use his spiritual power to light a fire at this moment. He happened to see firewood burning on the stove to boil water.

Cheng Hao took two steps forward, pulled out a relatively thin piece of firewood from the burning firewood, then tilted his head to touch the flame on the firewood, lit a cigarette, and then handed the firewood to the village chief as if nothing had happened.

The village chief, holding a cigarette in one hand, stared at this scene with his mouth open. The woman next to the village chief and the little girl on the kang were obviously surprised. He seemed like a noble person, suddenly very down-to-earth!

But this time, it makes people feel very friendly.

closed the distance between them.

The village chief responded, quickly took the firewood, lit a cigarette, then looked at Cheng Hao and said, "Little brother, are you from the countryside?"

Cheng Hao nodded and said with a smile: "You have a sharp eye. Now can you tell me the whereabouts of the incense burner?"

The village chief frowned slightly, looked at the middle-aged woman and the curious girl on the kang, took two puffs of cigarette, and said: "I believe you have seen how poor our village is. There is something I want to ask you.

Do yourself a favor, and I will deliver the message with both hands, without a penny."

Cheng Hao was stunned, raised his head and blew out a smoke dragon, saying: "You tell me, if I can help, I will."

The village chief lowered his head and took two deep breaths. As if he mustered up all his courage, he raised his head and said, "Help my daughter solve the problem of going to school!"

Cheng Hao was stunned. The middle-aged woman next to him and the little girl on the kang turned to look at the village chief in shock. It seemed that they had never thought that the village chief would have such an idea!

Cheng Hao glanced around and found that there were faint tears in the eyes of the middle-aged woman. The little girl on the kang was also stunned at this moment.

The village chief looked at Cheng Hao with a determined look, his eyes so bright, persistent, and burning with a blazing flame of hope!

For a moment, Cheng Hao remembered that when he was in junior high school, he was in the rebellious stage. He once wanted to drop out of school, but his mother always encouraged him and insisted on almost forcing him to go to school... In the end, until he finished his college career!

Faintly, Cheng Hao saw from the village chief the persistence and expectation that his mother had for him. Poor parents in the world... In the end, Cheng Hao nodded and agreed. In fact, these things are just a piece of cake for people like them.

A matter of one plate.

As long as Cheng Hao shows his ID from the Security Bureau, even if he doesn't go through Chizhengsi, I believe there will be many people willing to serve as pawns for Cheng Hao.

After the village chief and the woman thanked him repeatedly with tears of joy, the village chief told the story in detail.

This man's surname was Wei, and he was a young man in his twenties and early thirties. He was traveling alone in the Taihang Mountains, and happened to come to this mountain village. It happened that a man in the village suddenly became seriously ill.

, his family came to the village chief’s house to get some incense burner ashes to treat their illness, and they met this young man on the road.

By chance, the young man asked this man for directions. As luck would have it, he told him about the incense burner, and the young man happened to have the medicine to cure the disease.

So the young man followed this man home and gave the patient medicine. After he felt much better, he came to the village chief and wanted to buy this incense burner. At first, the village chief was hesitant about selling it because it was a cultural relic after all. But this man

The price offered is really exciting. The most important thing is that with this money, he can give his daughter a better teaching environment!

In the end, driven by selfishness, the village chief decided to sell the incense burner, and then made a special trip to the provincial capital to find the best school for his daughter.

But what I didn't expect was that the school heard that the child had been going to school in the countryside since he was a child. He thought that his daughter's current level was too different from the students of the same grade in the provincial capital. Moreover, the living environment and education level since childhood were different.

Naturally, there is a big difference. Letting his daughter come to school is just holding them back, so he doesn't want his daughter.
