Dark Fairy

Chapter 237: Being ungrateful for oneself
"Did Qiu Chongxi bring these things?"

In a huge hall, there is a mural hanging above. It is a landscape with the sun and the moon printed on it, with the four characters "Bright Universe" at the head.There is a head chair under the mural, and below the head chair are two rows of wide chairs facing each other.At this time, an old man with white beard and hair was sitting on the head chair. Although the wide chair below was not full, there were also five people sitting there.

The "Brother Nie" who had just spoken to Qiu Chongxi at the knife gate was now standing in the middle of the hall with his hands tied, his head lowered, listening to the old man on the chair at the head asking questions.

"When I got back to the village master, these things were indeed brought by Qiu Chongxi. They said they were a mountain worship gift from a big boss to the village master. The words contained in his words should indicate that someone came from his way. He also said that he had something to bring to the village master in person. , if we can talk, let’s talk, if not, forget it.”

"Take twelve gold pieces as a mountain gift, tsk tsk, this is not light. Do you think there is anything in our cottage that is worth such a high price for outsiders to come and pass a word?" The old man asked such a sentence, with words It was also full of doubts.

"Brother, what good plans can we have for our poor village? Anyway, I am curious about what the people behind the chef Qiu are planning."

"Cook Qiu used to drag his family with him, so it was really hard to make a living in the cottage. Letting him go is also our opinion. Now that he has gone and returned, it must be that it is not good intentions to take advantage of others. He is taking advantage of us. .This cook deserves to be killed."

"Lao Liu, he's just a cook. Whether he kills or not is another matter. Now we're talking about the people behind Chef Qiu. Why are you always killing him? Can you think of something else?"

"Hmph! If we don't fight and kill, what are we doing here on Que'er Mountain? From my point of view, we may be able to reopen soon. Fighting and killing is the right time!"

"Huh?! When Lao Liu said this, I think he may have hit the point!"

"How?"

"Outside the mountain, there are rumors, cranes, soldiers, and disasters are in power. If something goes wrong, the world will be as devastated as it was decades ago. So what people outside the mountain want most is a place to avoid disaster? Tell me, is our Queer Mountain a place of disaster? A good place to avoid disasters?"

"Ok?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone present looked stunned, and then most of the doubts in their eyes dissipated.

Indeed, in the heyday of Daomen Village, there were only a hundred people, and among them there were children and children, and only half of them were really capable of doing things.Now it is no longer what it used to be, there are many old and weak people in the mountains, and the number of people is not even fifty.Apart from the surplus of coarse grains in the mountains, I really can't think of anything worth thinking about.But if you combine the location of the stockade with the current situation outside the mountain, it really does make sense.

The hall immediately became lively, and everyone quickly formed a unified opinion after a few words.It is believed that the people behind Qiu Chongxi wanted to use Qiu Chongxi's path to find a place where they could avoid the disaster of war.

"Nie Yong, where is Qiu Chongxi now?"

"If I go back to the village master, Qiu Chongxi is still at the village gate. I asked the little monkey to keep an eye on him."

"You lead him here."

"Yes!"

Nie Yong received the order, turned around and trotted back to the entrance of the village.When he saw Qiu Chongxi sitting on the stone pier by the roadside, he waved and said, "Follow me, the leader of the village will see you!"

"Oh oh oh! Okay"

Qiu Chongxi stood up quickly, tightened the baggage on his shoulders, and quickly followed Nie Yong into the village.Along the way, Qiu Chongxi felt a lot of emotion.He had been in the village for a long time, and now that he returned to the old place, disturbing memories of the past flooded into his mind.

"Brother Nie, how many people are there in our village now?"

"none of your business."

"Hehe, Brother Nie's temper is really more and more similar to Master Six. I think back when I was still in the village, Brother Nie would always come to the kitchen to steal things. At that time, Brother Nie was often beaten by Master Six. "I'll practice more"

"To shut up!"

Qiu Chongxi could only shut up in silence.He knows very well that he is not a good thing in the eyes of the people in the village.Just now, I hoped to find out the details of the cottage, but now it seems that there is no other way.Even Nie Yong, who used to be a talkative guy, is so strict with his mouth, making it even less likely for others to let the news slip.

After walking for a whole stick of incense, Nie Yong walked very fast on his front feet. Qiu Chongxi had to trot to keep up with him. up.

Along the way, Qiu Chongxi also saw the terraced fields in the cottage, which were still growing happily and not abandoned.It seems that there are at least enough people in the cottage to plow the fields.

"go in."

Qiu Chongxi nodded, swallowing a mouthful of saliva, feeling unavoidably nervous.Although he had left the cottage for more than two years, he dared not forget the old men in the cottage.

"Little Qiu Chongxi pays homage to the village master and all the masters!"

As soon as he entered the door, the pressure that hit his face was something that an ordinary person like Qiu Chongxi, who was not even a warrior, could withstand?Immediately, his knees weakened and he knelt on the ground. His head was shaking and he saluted loudly to the people in the hall.

"Hmph, Qiu Chongxi, raise your head."

"Yes!"

Qiu Chongxi quickly raised his head, but he still didn't dare to look up.

"Qiu Chongxi, back then you killed someone in your hometown. When you were desperate, the village took you in. Your two children were also born in the village. Their names were chosen by the uncle in the village after calculation for you. . And during this period, I treated you like my own family and never treated you badly, right?
Later, the village fell into decline, and it was really inappropriate for you and your family to stay in the village. If you wanted to leave, or go out to explore, the village would not give you any trouble and let you go.

Is it not too much for Shanzhai to say to you that benevolence is the utmost righteousness? "

Qiu Chongxi's face turned red instantly when he heard the words, and subconsciously kowtowed: "The village master's words are true! Qiu Chongxi was able to keep a place in the Mongolian village by not abandoning it. It was Qiu Chongxi who left later because he didn't know good and bad, and the village never let me down."

Even though I said this, I did feel a little guilty in my heart.But Qiu Chongxi didn't really have such thoughts in his heart that he regretted taking this job.What he seeks from beginning to end is "myself and my family", even if there is kindness to others, but in front of "myself and my family", he can abandon them all.

The old man at the head did not try to figure out what Qiu Chongxi was thinking, nor did he think what Qiu Chongxi's current appearance of kneeling and kowtowing meant.All this was meaningless in front of him. People who left Shanzhai were no longer members of Shanzhai.Bringing up old things now is just to pave the way for what will happen next.

"Now that you have received benefits from others and returned to the cottage, we won't mention the reasons for this, but the cottage has given you a favor. I hope you will not hide anything when you come back this time. I want to know what the people who hired you have. Intentions, and what are their backgrounds.

Can you tell? "
