After the rebirth, the princess became the richest man

Chapter 124 Lin Shuangyue's Lifeline

When Lin Qingyue and the others said that they came to Biezhuang to collect rent, the attitude of the villagers became more enthusiastic, and they took Lin Qingyue and the others to find the village chief.

The village chief is an old man in his sixties who lives in the innermost courtyard of the village.

The villagers gathered around the village chief's yard, and everyone looked in curiously.

Lin Qingyue is not very sociable, and she is slightly uncomfortable with this kind of overly enthusiastic behavior, but she is not disgusted. On the contrary, Xiaotao, who is beside her, has always been very reserved, holding Lin Qingyue tightly to walk step by step, not daring to Half a step away, Lin Qingyue quietly leaned into Xiao Tao's ear, and said with a light smile, "We, Xiao Tao, have always been fearless? Why did you suddenly change your sex today?"

Xiaotao grabbed Lin Qingyue's sleeve and looked back at the villagers surrounded by the yard in horror, and said in a trembling voice: "Girl, look at the way those villagers look at us, do they seem to be looking at Zai?" Lamb?"

Lin Qingyue was startled for a moment, and followed Xiaotao's line of sight to look at the villagers.

With what Jing Xiaotao said, when Lin Qingyue looked at the villagers again, she really felt that there seemed to be something else hidden in their eyes besides excitement and joy.

Lin Qingyue looked away calmly, looked at Xiaotao and comforted her, "You think too much, they are just curious about us outsiders."

Xiaotao huddled beside Lin Qingyue, reluctantly nodded and said, "Xiaotao...Xiaotao knows..."

Lin Qingyue patted Xiaotao on the shoulder, and pulled her towards her.

The village chief enthusiastically brought Lin Qingyue and the others into the house. When Lin Qingyue mentioned that she was here to collect rent, the village chief took out a box with a seal inside.

"I am the steward sent by the old lady to the Zhuangzi. My surname is Zhou. All the people in the village you see now are tenants in the Zhuangzi. The land is on the other side of the mountain. They mainly grow tea. Our Zhuangzi produces The tea here sells very well, and other Zhuangzi can’t compare to it. Every year we send people to send the rent to the house, and the old lady specially sent a girl here this year, but do you have any orders?"

Hearing that the village chief said that he sent people to the Lin Mansion every year, and that the Lin Mansion didn't send people to collect it on purpose, Lin Qingyue became even more convinced that the old lady sent her here must have some other purpose.

"There is nothing to order, but my grandmother feels that she has been a little neglected in the management of Zhuangzi these years, and she is afraid that there will be some bad things in Zhuangzi, so she specially asked me to take a look."

The village chief stroked his gray beard and said with a smile: "So it's like this. Of course we welcome the girl to live in our Zhuangzi, but I don't know how many days the girl wants to live in the Zhuangzi?"

The purpose of the old lady asking her to come here is unclear, Lin Qingyue roughly estimated the time, and said to the village chief: "About half a month, if I live in the village, you may feel uncomfortable, so just clean up a few things in the village. Give us a room to live in."

Hearing that Lin Qingyue was going to live in Zhuangzi, the village chief's expression moved slightly, and he apologized with a smile: "There has been no one living in Zhuangzi for many years, and the dust inside has fallen into a thick layer. After cleaning it up... I'm afraid it will take some time."

Lin Qingyue narrowed her eyes slightly, and said with a smile: "It doesn't need to be too troublesome, just clean up a few rooms."

The village chief glanced at Lin Qingyue who insisted on living in the village with a complicated expression, nodded after a short silence, and said in a low voice, "Okay, I'll send someone to the village to clean up."

The village chief said that a banquet would be arranged tonight, and Lin Qingyue and the others must stay overnight in the village tonight. Lin Qingyue did not agree or refuse, but said that it would be decided at that time.

Lin Qingyue left the village chief's house on the grounds that she wanted to see the scenery around the village.

She rejected the guide arranged by the village head for them, and led a few people to a place away from the crowd.

After making sure that no one around could hear their conversation, Lin Qingyue said in a deep voice, "There are some problems in this village."

Xiao Yu, who hadn't spoken since entering the village, glanced sideways at them. Several villagers who were trying to approach them noticed Xiao Xuan's gaze, and pretended to be passing by and went to other places.

Xiao Yu's eyes darkened, and he said in a deep voice, "They seem to be watching us."

Lin Qingyue followed Xiao Xuan's gaze, and although the people around them had left, the strange feeling of being stared at never disappeared.

"Just now the village chief seemed very reluctant for us to go to Zhuangzi to see if we can get rid of those villagers. Let's go to Zhuangzi to see."

The villagers hiding in the dark watched Lin Qingyue and the others get together and discuss something, then the four of them suddenly dispersed and walked in four different directions.

The villagers who were in charge of monitoring them followed a few of them in an orderly manner, while the rest ran to report to the village chief about Lin Qingyue and the others.

After the village chief listened to the report from the villagers, his face darkened, and he said with a gloomy expression, "This girl must have noticed something just now, hurry up! Let people go to the Zhuangzi to guard it, and don't let them get close to the Zhuangzi."

The villagers nodded, yes." Before leaving the door, they looked back at the village chief and asked, "What if they insist on breaking in? Is it still the same as before? "

Speaking of this, the villagers wiped their necks with their fingers.

The village head lowered his eyes slightly, shook his head and said: "No, don't touch them first, that woman is the daughter of the Lin family, if something happens, it will definitely attract the attention of the Lin family, I'm afraid we will hide what we did back then Can't stop. She's just a pampered lady, and the people around her don't seem to have any great abilities, and they can't make a difference. If she insists on entering Zhuangzi, let her go in. It's been so many years. There is nothing left in the village."

The villagers were still a little uneasy, hesitated for a moment, and opened their mouths to ask: "Uncle Zhou, will the things of that year really not be discovered?"

The village chief's eyes froze, and he said in a cold voice: "How many times have I told you, don't bring up the things of the past! The Lin family is in the village now, don't you think it's too late to mention the things of the past!"

The villagers were reprimanded by the village head, and should not say anything more, they left the village head's house in desperation to spread the word outside.

Lin Qingyue and the others had already discussed and gathered under a pine tree halfway up the mountain.

The villager who chased Lin Qingyue was a strong man, and Lin Qingyue got rid of him after a long circle. When she found the pine tree, Xiaotao and the others were already waiting under the tree.

Seeing that Lin Qingyue finally came, Xiaotao rushed over, looked Lin Qingyue up and down with teary eyes, and made sure that Lin Qingyue was not scratched at all, so she let go of Lin Qingyue, her voice He choked up and blamed, "Girl, why did it take you so long to come, I'm worried to death."

Lin Qingyue smiled lightly and took out a silk handkerchief from her sleeve, gently wiped away the tears from the corners of Xiaotao's eyes, and comforted her, "Don't worry, your girl doesn't care about those little fellows. "

Xiaotao laughed through tears, and said perfunctorily, "Yes, yes, my girl is the most powerful."

Lin Qingyue rested under the tree for a while, during which Xiao Yu went to explore the road, and after finding the location of Zhuangzi, they set off to Zhuangzi's direction.

As they walked, they analyzed the strange phenomenon in the village.

The four chattered and discussed for a long time, but in the end they couldn't come up with a sustainable result.
