After arriving at the Juyi Hall, Nie Chen saw the headmaster and Dazhuang talking to Ma Niubai in front of the door.
Behind the horse and cattle billets, there were three carts loaded with silver and grain.
Seeing Nie Chen coming over, the boss said,
"Yanzu is here, Master Ma is going back, come and see him off together."
"No need to give it away, no need to give it away, oh, this time it's all thanks to Brother Weng and Brother Yanzu, otherwise, I, Ma Niubi, would really be desperate.
I won’t say much more if I’m grateful. From now on, the affairs of Qingfeng Village are my business. After I recruit troops and rebuild the village, let’s make it bigger and stronger together! "
Nie Chen smiled and said,
"Brother Ma is brave and brave, and I admire him. When Brother Ma returns to the village, he must learn from the lessons he learned last time. Stop drinking and having fun all day long. Buy weapons when you need them. Build a wall when you need it. Don't do it anymore." Let the officers and soldiers break in easily."
"Brother Wu's words have touched my heart. I was careless yesterday. When I go back, I must clean up the stronghold. If the officers and soldiers still dare to come, they must never come back!"
"Brother Ma, walk slowly."
"Don't give it away, don't give it away."
Under the eager eyes of everyone, Ma Niubi and his younger brothers were sent away.
After walking away, the headmaster laughed loudly, patted Nie Chen on the shoulder and said,
"You still have a way. I wanted to kill him last night, but now that I think about it, it would be a pity to kill him. He can obviously be used."
"Ha ha ha ha."
"By the way, I asked you to come here this time because it's about going down the mountain. The matter you mentioned yesterday about recruiting villagers to mine, build factories and build walls must be done urgently today.
I plan to let Da Zhuang go with Qiu Chan. Qiu Chan is a woman and is more approachable and less likely to arouse the hostility of the villagers. "
Having said this, the headmaster said curiously,
"Eh? Where is Qiu Chan? This girl comes here early every morning. Why is there no movement today?"
"I gonna go see."
After Da Zhuang finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards Weng Qiuchan's residence.
The master did not stop him, which shows how much he trusts Da Zhuang.
Nie Chen couldn't help but become a little nervous.
After a while, Da Zhuang came back and said,
"Master, Qiu Chan is a little uncomfortable today. She is lying on the bed and sweating. She probably caught a cold."
Last night I slept on the floor and rolled around all night, how could I not catch a cold...
In fact, Nie Chen didn't know whether Weng Qiuchan didn't get up because she caught a cold or because of pain...
"How can you catch a cold? Forget it, you two go ahead and recruit villagers. I'll go see Qiu Chan and boil some medicine for her. I should have some medicine over there."
After saying this, the boss left.
"Let's go, Second Master, call the master and bring some dry food. Let's start from the nearest Shangzhuang Village."
Da Zhuang smiled boldly and asked Shou Hou to call over twenty brothers, then walked down the mountain with a knife.
The mountain road is difficult to navigate, and the saddle has not yet been made, so riding a horse is not yet comfortable for walking.
On the way down the mountain, Nie Chen pretended to be nonchalant and asked,
"Hey, Da Zhuang, how did our master fall into the trap of a bandit?"
"Well, you have to ask the boss himself about this. If he tells you, you will know. If he doesn't tell you, I won't tell you either."
Although Nie Chen is the second master, he also knows that the only person in the entire village who can be called the confidant of the master is Dazhuang.
He used to be the halberd bearer of the head of the family, his most trusted guard, and a very capable warrior.
To put it bluntly, in this village, the eldest boss, Weng Qiuchan and Da Zhuang are our own people. I, the second boss, only won through bets. In addition, I have the ability to secure this position. Location, barely squeezed into other people's small group.
But if he wanted to swindle the master from Da Zhuang, that would be impossible.
Even if Da Zhuang is drunk, he won't say it.
"You can't talk about the boss's affairs, but you can always talk about the eldest lady's affairs, right? She is already twenty years old, why is she not married yet, and she still follows the boss into the bandits' den every day."
Hearing this, Da Zhuang glanced at Nie Chen playfully and said with a smile,
"What? Are you attracted to the eldest lady?"
"No way, I just want to see how a woman who grew up in such an environment can be so violent and beat me every day."
"Okay, no need to be duplicitous. Qiu Chan is beautiful and has a bold personality. She often gets along with her brothers. Which young man in the village doesn't like her? It's normal for you to like him. If you don't, I have to suspect that you are not. A man."
"Oh? So you like it too? Hahahaha."
Nie Chen laughed and waited for Da Zhuang to answer.
Since he has decided to let Weng Qiuchan be his woman, he has to find out about his wife's past and explore Da Zhuang's attitude towards Weng Qiuchan.
After all, their relationship is really good.
When Da Zhuang heard this, he immediately shook his head and said,
"What nonsense are you talking about? How is that possible? I have a wife. The wife Ming Media is marrying. The children are now several years old. My wife and I are childhood sweethearts with deep feelings and loyalty. How can I like Qiu Chan again.
I have been with the boss for ten years, and I have almost watched Qiu Chan grow up. I have always treated her as a younger sister and have never had any wrong ideas. "
"You have a wife and children? Why didn't you bring them?"
"Why bring it here? Become a bandit with your head tied to your waistband with me? Live a precarious life? My wife and children are all at home. I only go back once a year and bring some silver back to them."
Nie Chen nodded. His wife and children probably thought he was still a soldier.
"Let's not talk about you anymore, let's talk about the eldest lady."
"Tch, you also said that you are not interested in Qiu Chan. You also know who the master was before. Qiu Chan's mother died early, and she grew up in such an environment. She doesn't love female celebrities and loves martial arts. She spends all day I just like to play with swords and guns. I have read some military books and practiced some martial arts. I can deal with ordinary people.
His temperament is like that of a man, but he is also rough and subtle.
He has not been loved by his mother since he was a child, and the head of the family is not at home all year round. In fact, he is a poor person.
This has also developed her habit of covering up her inner sensitivity and fragility with a strong and arrogant appearance.
I sincerely hope she can marry a good man and just be kind to her sincerely without bullying her.
I think you're a pretty good boy. Work harder. Qiu Chan treats you differently from others. "
Da Zhuang could tell Nie Chen so much because Nie Chen sent Weng Qiuchan home alone after being drunk last time without any inappropriate behavior. From that time on, in Da Zhuang's heart, Nie Chen was treated like a gentleman. No.
Nie Chen sneered and said,
"Pull him down, that's really different. He caught me and beat me all day long."
"Why doesn't she beat up others? It means she still likes you."
