"Little guy, I know what you have in your hand is interesting, but I'm a Taoist priest. It's useless for me to want this thing. What are you trying to do to prevent me from doing that?"

"What a boring little guy!"

"Where is the place ahead? I saw howling everywhere in front, and there was countless Yin Qi!"

The police officer held up his hands and said, "I've seen the Taoist priest. Ahead is Lingjia Village. We just came back from Lingjia Village!"

"We are distributing pensions to the heroes who died in the battlefield in Lingjia Village, but it is their widows who are crying. There is nothing evil!"

The Taoist priest nodded: "That should be the return of the heroes to their hometown. I wonder why there is only Yin Qi here but no ominous Qi!"

The Taoist priest raised the wine gourd on his waist and took a long sip: "That's all, that's all, it's not my business! Officials, do you know where you listen to music recently?"

"Going past Cai County is Qingxue Mansion. Our Qingxue Mansion has a unique talent. Countless wives of criminal ministers who have been sent away are in Qingxue Mansion. There are many eldest ladies there!"

The Taoist priest's eyes widened: "There is still such a thing, a place of suffering in the world, no, the Taoist master will not talk to you anymore, I am going to die!"

Zhou Dagu looked at the Taoist priest, lowered his head and smiled, watching him go away: "Brother, why do you respect a Taoist priest so much!"

These policemen, who are usually the boss of the world, don't pay attention to anyone except the official who is pressing on their head. Now it is strange to do this to a Taoist priest.

"Hi! This Taoist priest likes wine and beauty. He should be a human being. They travel around the world and practice merit. Although their ordinary things are unreliable, they are good things and deserve our respect!"

Zhou Dagu knew that the lower-level lackeys had the most information, and then asked: "Human Tao? Are there other Tao sects?"

"I don't know. There was a big case in our county before, and a Taoist priest from the Human World came and helped us a lot. As for the secrets of other Taoists, I am just a vulgar warrior who has just entered the country. How could I know this!"

Zhou Dagu nodded. He didn't blame others for thinking Wu Fu was vulgar, even they themselves thought so.

Go to Zhoujia Village.

Across the sunset, Zhou Dagu saw a figure rushing down from the mountain in the distance.

"Brother Gu! Brother Gu, you are back! You are back!"

Wang An ran down the mountain road, panting heavily and looked up at Zhou Dagu: "Brother Gu, I heard from the village chief that something seems to have happened to you. Have you recovered? Are you okay now?"

Zhou Dagu likes this little boy very much, and he doesn’t know why!

Maybe it's because of his father's entrustment, or maybe it's because of this kid's sensibleness.

"I'm fine! Don't worry! By the way..."

"Look at the back, the court has approved the one hundred and ten of us!"

Wang An stared at Zhou Dagu and the official beside him, feeling a little nervous.

Zhou Dagu directly told the result: "The court said that your father is not a deserter, but a hero!"

Wang An tried hard to control his expression and raised the corners of his mouth stiffly: "I know it. You told me from the door of your house. I knew it. I knew this should be the result."

The little guy was very tenacious, but his tears were merciless and fell on the ground.

Zhou Dagu stepped forward and wiped away his tears: "According to your father's merits, I will give your family a pension of ten taels of silver and ten kilograms of grain. It will be just in time for you to come. I will give these to you. Can you Take it home!"

"Definitely!" Wang An raised his head. He pretended to be strong, making it easy for people to ignore that he was only thirteen years old.

Zhou Dagu took out the family letter from his arms: "Your father said that you know how to read?"

"Get to know...get to know each other a little bit!"

"This is the letter your father left for you. If you recognize it, I won't read it to you. You can take it away! Give your mother the food and money as well!"

Wang An nodded solemnly and took the food and money from Xu Dian. Zhou Dagu stuffed the family letter into his arms.

Zhou Dagu frowned: "Did you... did she hit you again?"

"No, I went up the mountain to collect herbs two days ago and accidentally dropped it!" Wang An was a little embarrassed: "Brother Gu, my mother rarely hits me. She only hits me when I do something wrong!"

"Don't always blame her, others will talk about her behind her back!"

The little guy's sensibleness made Zhou Dagu feel a little uncomfortable. He had promised Uncle Wang to take good care of this kid.

"You go back first! After I finish my work, I will go to your house to find you in the evening. I will check to see if you have read the family letter to your mother!"

Wang An carried a heavy load of food and carefully stayed away from the traps on the ground: "Then I'm going back, you must come!"

"I shot a pheasant on the mountain today, and I'll cook it for you! I learned how to cook it from my father, and it's delicious when cooked!"

Zhou Dagu smiled and waved.

Wang An disappeared at the entrance of the village.

The group of them continued walking towards the village.

As night falls, the food in the car is almost gone.

One hundred and ten people, eighty people in Lingjia Village, ten people in Xiaotaoyuan Village, and ten people in Wangjia Village.

I already went to Xiaotaoyuan Village when I passed by today.

After leaving Lingjia Village, we also went to Wangjia Village.

Zhou Dagu deliberately put Zhoujiacun last.

Only the last small bag of grain was left on the grain truck, and the policeman took advantage of the darkness to return to the city to report on his work.

Xu Dian held the last ten taels of silver in his hand.

The third grandfather of the Zhou family accompanied them: "This last family is a bit difficult to deal with! His surname is Chen, and they are actually the oldest family in Zhoujia Village!"

"It was only later that there were more and more people with the surname Zhou. There were not many people with the surname Chen at that time, so the government changed the name of the village to Zhoujia Village."

"The only thing left in the Chen family is an old lady in her sixties and her son in his twenties!"

"I never wanted you to go to their house, just because this old lady has a bad temper and cares most about her only precious son. If she knew that her precious son was dead, she wouldn't know what to do!"

"Da Gu, listen to grandpa, you are a scholar, it is not good to have a relationship with an old lady. It is not a big deal for us, an old man, just let me deliver it!"

Zhou Dagu opened his closed eyes and saw the only black figure at the door of Zifu Confucian Temple: "Third Grandpa, you have read the book!"

"I...I have killed pigs!" Grandpa Zhou's third grandfather was a little anxious: "I'm just an old man. No matter where I go to study, in our time, there wasn't enough food and drink. If I didn't go to the battlefield, I would starve to death!"

"I want to come to read home letters. This is my responsibility!" Zhou Dagu said.

"Look at you kid, you are stubborn. If you don't care about this family, what can you do!"

Zhou Dagu Zifu felt pain, and the black figure bared his teeth and claws. He covered his head: "No, I promised them, this is what I have to do!"

"Xu Dian, take the things from Third Grandpa's hand and let's go leisurely!"

"It's just an old lady. I'm not afraid of her being weird. We're not here to do bad things. We have nothing to fear!"

Zhou Dagu took the lead and went to the door.

When they opened the door, they saw an old lady sitting in the central hall, her head lowered and her eyes fixed on them.

Zhou Dagu's heart felt inexplicably and he felt a little regretful.

The old lady is indeed weird!
