Raising the Demon

Chapter 9 A big house as the starting point
However, Zi Baifeng was so happy, this old man loves to take care of things and work, so let him do it.Zi Baifeng's goal is not to be in the village to deal with some things where the owner's family beats his wife and the west's family fights for land. He is itching in his heart at this time, and he wants to find something with a little spirituality to try his own raising. What about the demon tactics——don’t let the old man know.

"Old man, your prestige is really like this!" Zi Baifeng flattered with a thumbs up.Yan Laowu proudly raised the sky and laughed twice, Zi Baifeng said, "Old man, I am here to apologize to you, you must forgive me..."

"Apology? Please what?" Yan Laowu was stunned for a moment, Zi Baifeng said with a heartbroken heart, "You see, I took the college examination, and I planned to get some fame so that my father would not have to work so hard for me to study. Who knows After the exam, I couldn’t get out of a coma, alas...in the end, I just got a last name, I’m sorry for the old man’s teaching day and night, and I’m sorry for the name of the Nuo University in Xiayan Village.”

Immediately afterwards, Zi Baifeng flattered and slapped wildly, and the old man was elated. He looked at Zi Baifeng and said, "Hey, I said Baifeng, I remember that you didn't talk like this before?" It's also true, why does it sound so good?

"Hey, isn't that ignorant at the beginning? Don't mind..." Zi Baifeng said repeatedly, and then sighed, "You know, old man, that things in this village seem to be trivial, but Nothing is easy, and if one is not handled properly, the friendship and harmony in the village will be damaged. I once heard the Fujun say, don't underestimate the village leader, if you are a good village leader, even the Fujun can do it. You, old man You watched me grow up, and you know me. It’s okay to write calligraphy and draw pictures, but it’s absolutely impossible to deal with the affairs of the village. I thought at the time, how can I be a village leader? Isn’t this Are you making things difficult for me on purpose?"

"Hey, you can't say that, it's because the lord of the government thinks highly of you." The old man shook his head and said, "Although the official position of the village is small, it is an upright official position. It's not the kind of small official who bullies the people. Be a good one." Definitely has a great future!"

"Yes, the old man is right, so I thought about it, what are you afraid of, there is an old man in our village who is in charge. Why is the village upright? Anyway, when you come back, you have the old man who is the master and supports you. If you say a word, who in the village would dare Don’t listen? I just came back to hang up a job, deal with some paperwork, and study in peace on weekdays. I didn’t have good luck in the last exam, which weakened our reputation in Xiayan Village. Next time, I will definitely send us to Xiayan Village again. The name was taken back."

These words are right in the old man's heart.He nodded and said: "You baby is right, you are worthy of being a talented man with insight."

Zi Baifeng has no psychological burden on lowering his attitude towards Yan Laowu. He is inferior to Yan Laowu in terms of age and prestige.With Zi Baifeng's arrogance back then, he would definitely not bow his head, but now this Zi Baifeng is not so stubborn.It is human nature to respect the old and love the young.

Besides, Zi Baifeng has the porcelain plate in his body and has confidence in his heart, but for some reason, the more confidence he has in his heart, the more he can lower his posture.

According to the system, in fact, the responsibility of the village official is to "check for non-violation", that is, to check if there is any crime in the village.But in fact, it is not so simple. Checking for non-violation is equivalent to having the power to enforce the law.Living in a mountain village like Xiayan Village requires the organization of people to patrol the mountains and watch the night, regularly inspect the springs and cliffs, and prevent flash floods and landslides, all of which are thankless tasks.

It is said that people know people and make good use of them. If there is anyone in Xiayan Village who is dedicated to the public and wants to make Xiayan Village better, it must be the old man. Zi Baifeng does not intend to use power for personal gain, so naturally he does not need to fight for power.

"Okay, okay, why would I make it difficult for you junior..." Yan Lao Wu shook his head when he heard this, "If you come to see me for something, just tell me."

"Old man..." Zi Baifeng said, "Your Majesty appointed me as the village official, and I can't sit on a vegetarian diet. Before I came, Mr. Bo once told me that everything else in our village is good, that is, the exchange of paperwork. Master Bo is a little dissatisfied with the fact that there is a back and forth..."

Yan Laowu frowned and said, "Is this really true?"

"When did I ever tell a lie?" Zi Baifeng finally uttered this sentence, and he was immediately relieved.He did say this, but it was just a rumor.

Zi Baifeng lowered his voice, and said: "I heard that these years, the life of the Fujun is not easy. If you don't have money, you can't stand up. So Mr. Bo intends to clean up the old accounts. I will go to various places to inspect and supervise, refund more and make up less, and clear up debts, so I want to sort out all kinds of documents in our village..."

Zi Baifeng is studying in the academy, and many of the students in the academy are the children of officials and officials from various families, and he is the most well-informed, although he has never inquired, but he has heard a lot.

Zi Baifeng stated his request euphemistically, but what he asked for was not much, so he asked the old man for a spare room, which he would use as his own office, where he would place and organize various documents.Since the old man can't see monsters, he naturally wants to find a base for himself, so as not to frighten the old man.

There are actually not many idle rooms in Xiayan Village. The old man frowned upon hearing this, and Zi Baifeng said, "Look, old man, how about giving me a room in the private school?"

There are very few public facilities in the village, and there are even fewer suitable ones. The one that can catch Zi Baifeng's eyes is the private school that the old man personally led the villagers to build.

The private school has three rooms, big and small, the big room is the private school for the children to study, the small room is the residence of the private school teacher, and the other one is left unused with some sundries, Zi Baifeng is looking for this one.

"Okay, then I'll lend it to you for now." The old man nodded, as if he had allocated that house to Zi Baifeng.

"Thank you, old man!" Zi Baifeng clasped his fists together, "Then I'll pack up and move there in the afternoon, old man... can you take me to see those paperwork?"

Regardless of whether he has authority or not, Zi Baifeng intends to look at these documents.He has now regarded Xiayan Village as his own private property, no matter whether he can control it or not, he intends to see how much money he has.

"Then... alright." The old man waved his hand, and the children and grandchildren who were standing aside scattered away as if they were being pardoned. The old man walked into his compound with his hands behind his back, and led Zi Baifeng to a north room , pushed open the door, said: "It's all inside..."

As soon as the door was opened, there was a musty smell. Zi Baifeng was stunned for a moment, and saw that there were two wooden shelves inside, filled with various documents, and there were many piles on the ground, stacked and rolled. Yes, nestled, moldy—the old man had quick eyesight and quick hands, stuffed the moldy roll inside, and put it where Zi Baifeng couldn't see it.

"This... old man... you have never sorted it out..." Zi Baifeng even saw many unopened documents and was stunned.

"This... the words in it are densely written, and it gives me a headache at a glance. Some of them know me, but I don't know them." The old man blushed rarely, picked up an unopened document, and pointed The coded words said, "And these are all confidential, and they can't be shown to others casually, so I piled them up here."

Feelings, you old man knows the word "secret"...Zi Baifeng was speechless suddenly, it seems that he lifted his foot and smashed a stone, ah, no...he lifted a stone and smashed his own foot...

Seeing Zi Baifeng's expression, Yan Laowu said solemnly: "Baby, your Fifth Grandpa, I have known seventeen big characters in my life, and every character is upright, those crooked characters, Fifth Grandpa, I don't bother to know him ! Just looking at it makes my heart dirty!"

The words are grand and majestic, the justice is awe-inspiring, and even Zi Baifeng is in awe.

But old man, didn't you brag all day that you were the number one in the private school when you were young?I only know the first name in seventeen characters, I have never seen it before...

"So, how did my grandfather hand over this place to me back then, I will hand over this place to you now, and I will have someone move these documents to you in the afternoon."

After finishing speaking, Yan Laowu turned and left.

Leaving Zi Baifeng wanting to cry but no tears.

Zi Baifeng stayed in this room for more than half an hour. Most of these documents were well preserved. Yan Laowu said that he would take the documents out to dry in the sun when the weather was sunny. This was the only maintenance. Zi Baifeng felt a little relieved that there were not many incomplete parts.He roughly sorted them into categories, tidied them up, and then left.

Seeing Zi Baifeng leave, Yan Lao Wu shook his head and said, "This baby, when did he learn so well? He's as good as a ghost..."

In the very center of Xiayan Village, there is an ancient locust tree with a thick and knotted body, like a horned dragon looking up at the sky, and there is a small courtyard under the shade of the tree.The yard is not big, there is one main room, and one room for the east and west. This is the private school of Xiayan Village.The private school is not in session today, and the yard is very quiet. On each of the three rooms, there is an iron general guarding the door.

Zi's ​​father and son took a bucket of rags and a small stone for a little follower, walked into the yard, and took the key to open the door.

"Squeak——" The door of the room that hadn't been opened for a long time was pushed open by Zi Baifeng, and there was a musty smell in front of him. Several tables and chairs with missing arms and legs and covered with dust were placed in the corner. This is a private school. The kids used it badly.

"Xiuxiu can still be used." Zijian walked over, checked it, and nodded.

Then, he turned his head and looked at Zi Baifeng.

Zi Baifeng had just erected the window, and the afternoon sun poured down through the gap of the window, shining on his young face, reflecting streaks of golden light.

Looking at his son, Zijian smiled.

It would be a lie to say that you are not proud.

There are dozens of households in Xiayan Village, and more than a dozen of them go to private schools. Among the more than ten people, only their own children were admitted to the academy, and even ranked first in the high school in the academy examination. Even the husband praised an article. Absolutely.
