Seeing this scene, the surrounding villagers were frightened. When did that frail scholar show such a bloody side?
They had no doubts about the authenticity of Su Qian's words. Even the gangster Wang Er could use his sword to kill, let alone ordinary villagers like them.
Many people gradually felt a sense of awe towards Su Qi'an, and even dared not look directly into his eyes. They all held up their hands and left in a hurry.
Village Chief Li looked at this scene and said nothing, but felt a little happy in his heart.
He had watched Su Qi'an grow up. He had studied with him for a few years when he was young, and they were relatively close to each other.
Although it is very shameful to commit suicide by drowning in the river, today Su Qi'an can at least take on the responsibility of the head of the family. In these somewhat uneven days, at least he can take care of his own family.
The nearby villagers dispersed. Su Qian put down the ax in his hand, walked quickly to Village Chief Li, and said quickly.
"This matter has caused trouble to Mr. Li today, Qi An will bear it in mind."
Don't look at it. Village Chief Li didn't do anything today. He just stood there and said a cool law. It didn't seem to help much, but it was actually a big favor.
Although Su Qi'an has a reputation as a scholar, he has always given the impression of being too weak to the villagers. Without the help of Village Chief Li, this matter would not be so easy today.
However, Village Chief Li waved his hand casually and said nonchalantly, "Hey, it's a small matter. After all, you are the only scholar in my village. Xiao Su, don't be as familiar with the villagers. If you go to high school in the future, Dongshan Village will ask you to take care of it." .”
Su Qi'an nodded. In Great Liang, ordinary commoners and untouchables gathered in villages, and over time they formed village relatives. Although they were not as good as the clan relatives of the scholar-bureaucrats, neighbors would still help each other if anything happened on weekdays.
Just because the scholar Su Qi'an was withdrawn and rarely made friends with others, and he had the arrogance of a scholar and disdained dealing with common people, it was normal for Su Qi'an not to be welcomed in the village. In addition, because he had repeatedly failed in exams, there were naturally many people gossiping and watching the fun.
Seeing Su Qi'an nodding, Village Chief Li breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that Su Qi'an would refuse, so he said quickly.
"Xiao Su, the village chief will feel at ease with your words. Don't worry, the village chief has put these words here today. If anyone in the village troubles you in the future, I will be the first to refuse."
"Now that the matter is settled, I won't disturb you anymore. If you need anything, just say hello."
After saying that, Village Chief Li turned around and left, but before he had taken a few steps, he was stopped by Su Qian.
"Village Chief, I really have something to trouble you with."
"you say."
"Can you find a blacksmith to make a bow and arrow for me?"
"Huh, what did I think it was? It's easy to talk about. I have one at home. I'll leave it alone. Just wait and I'll get it for you right away. But Xiao Su, why do you want a bow and arrow?"
"I want to go hunting in the wild forest at the east end of the village."
"What? Xiao Su, what did you say? Did I hear you right?"
Village Chief Li's expression changed instantly, as if he had heard something unbelievable.
He knew Su Qi'an quite well. Even if he didn't have the power to restrain a chicken, he was just a weak scholar. Although Su Qi'an was ruthless and bloody today, this was completely different from hunting.
There are indeed many wild animals in the wild forest at the east end of the village, but it is said that there are also large insects. This is not an alarmist. In the past few years, several hunters in the village were killed by large insects because they went too deep.
Generally speaking, few hunters would go to that wild forest unless they really couldn't survive.
"Village Chief, I'm not kidding. Although I have been studying since I was a child, I have also read some miscellaneous books and have some experience in hunting."
"But what is written in books is different from practice. Your top priority is to gain fame..." Village Chief Li quickly persuaded.
But Su Qi'an only said one sentence, leaving Village Chief Li speechless.
"Mr. Li, I know your kindness and the seriousness of the matter, but my family can't even afford rice. If we continue like this, let alone preparing for the exam, I'm afraid I won't be able to survive the day."
"Mr. Li, you often help me. I'm very grateful for this, but I also know that your family is not even rich, and seven or eight people depend on you for food."
"Village chief, don't try to persuade her. Although Su Qian is a scholar, if he can't even take care of his wife, no matter how good he is in the exam, I will feel uneasy."
"Hey, Xiao Su, you are so insistent and the village chief won't say much. But for your safety, you take Li Hu and Zhao Da with you this time, so that I can feel at ease a little bit."
Su Qian nodded and bowed solemnly to Mr. Li. Village Chief Li sighed and wandered away.
This matter was resolved in the evening, and soon it was getting dark. Su Qi'an followed Qin Ziyin back to the room.
Qin Ziyin got on the bed very skillfully and said softly while looking at Su Qi'an who was sitting a little dazedly.
"Ms. sir, why are you so stunned that you haven't gone to bed yet?"
Su Qi'an came back to her senses and said "oh."
Even though Su Qian was acting so husbandly today, it was his first time sleeping with someone of the opposite sex, so he was inevitably a little nervous.
Qin Ziyin was wearing a thin undershirt, with her back to Su Qi'an. Because there was no food at home, Qin Ziyin was very thin, but even so, it could be seen that Qin Ziyin had a great figure.
However, the scholar Su Qi'an, who only focused on studying, never slept with Qin Ziyin, and rarely even held hands.
"What a waste of natural resources." Su Qian sighed inadvertently.
Although Su Qi'an is not a great saint, he is not a pervert with a sperm-like brain. Moreover, Qin Ziyin has just turned 18 years old. No matter how you say it, Su Qi'an is a modern youth who has received traditional education in the 21st century.
Naturally, it was impossible to take action against Qin Ziyin right from the start. Qin Ziyin was his legal wife anyway, and there would be plenty of time for that matter in the future.
Su Qian got on the bed and just hugged Qin Ziyin gently from behind. This move made Qin Ziyin's body tremble.
"Madam, what's wrong? Is your husband rude?"
"No... I just think that my husband is so brave today, and the slave family is happy."
Listening to what Qin Ziyin said, Su Qi'an squirmed and hugged Qin Ziyin even more with both hands. They were only separated by thin undershirts, and they could feel the body temperature of both parties.
Su Qi'an said softly, "Madam, my husband was too confused before and made me suffer too much. Don't worry, madam. My husband will make sure that my wife will live a good life in the future."
Qin Ziyin just hummed, but did not turn around. Su Qi'an may not know, but just because of his words, Qin Ziyin burst into tears.
So many years of grievances were all dissipated at this moment. Originally, Qin Ziyin wanted to continue asking why Su Qi'an's temperament changed so quickly.
After all, she had read in a book that some people who committed suicide by drowning in rivers might have changed their temperaments because they were possessed by water ghosts.
But looking at what Su Qi'an did today, Qin Ziyin was willing even if Su Qi'an was really possessed by a water ghost.
As long as Su Qi'an really wants to live a good life with her in the future, Qin Ziyin is willing to suffer any hardship, even if it is shameless, just ask her father to borrow food.
Su Qi'an naturally didn't know Qin Ziyin's thoughts. He had been having a very uncomfortable night at this time.
After all, he was a young man with a strong temperament, so he naturally reacted in that regard. In order to fight against his own thoughts, he had no choice but to recite the Great Compassion Mantra silently.
