Hearing this, Nie Chen also sighed and said,
"Generals die in a hundred battles, and heroes return in ten years. Since ancient times, the battlefield has been merciless. How many heroes and heroes have returned with their bodies wrapped in horse leather, but they can survive until retirement as smoothly as you. There are very few who have a good home."
You should cherish your current life. Don't mount up to fight in the future. When you have nothing to do, practice the army. Now we also have strong generals and an army. As the commander-in-chief, you can just sit back and command. Stop doing everything yourself. "
The boss smiled and said,
"Hahaha, a general dies in a hundred battles, and a strong man returns in ten years. I have been in the army for more than 20 years, and I have fought more than a hundred battles. Even if I die, it will not be a loss."
"What do you mean by immortality? How unlucky!"
From behind, Weng Qiuchan's voice suddenly came.
The two turned around and saw Weng Qiuchan walking towards this side with Li Yuanjun.
"I can find you easily from the front. I found out you are here after asking around."
Weng Qiuchan smiled and greeted the head master and Nie Chen.
The boss said,
"You came just in time. Nie Chen is burying his deceased parents. After the burial, you two will kowtow to his parents together, and then kowtow to your mother. This can be regarded as asking both parents for their opinions.
Have a wedding banquet tonight and you two will be officially engaged. "
"Huh? So... you're engaged now?"
Weng Qiuchan, who had just arrived, was confused, her pretty face immediately turned red, and she even started to squirm.
Li Yuanjun on the side smiled and said,
"Congratulations, sister Qiu Chan, you are about to find a husband. This is a great thing. I didn't expect that I would meet you right after I came here."
Weng Qiuchan rolled her eyes at her, then looked at Nie Chen and lowered her head shyly.
Nie Chen was a little at a loss and said,
"Master, is this... a bit too hasty? I haven't issued a letter of appointment or a betrothal gift or anything like that. How about I go prepare it tomorrow and find a respected elder to issue a letter of appointment?"
The boss said,
"You are the only one left in your family, where are the elders? I am the only elder in the entire Qingfeng Village.
Speaking of betrothal gifts, Qingfeng Village has such a big industry, it was all created by your own efforts. Is there any better betrothal gift than this?
Besides, we are all bandits, and the people in the world don’t stick to trivial matters, so why should we care about those red tapes.
As long as you two truly love each other, you can live happily without those etiquettes.
If you two don't treat me sincerely, even if you do a lot of things and make obeisances and kowtows, you won't be able to live long.
What's the matter, you don't want to marry Qiu Chan? Don't you like my daughter? "
The headmaster stared blankly, and Weng Qiuchan also raised his eyes to look at Nie Chen, his big eyes full of expectation.
Nie Chen immediately said,
"Of course I am willing, I am willing a hundred times. Ever since the day Qiu Chan tied me up the mountain, I have fallen in love with her. I will never marry her unless I am in this life!"
Just kidding, the father-in-law and wife are staring at him, does he dare to say no?
"Oh, according to what you said, Qiu Chan kidnapped you and went up the mountain, but she came back with a husband herself.
This is all fate. If Qiu Chan hadn't brought you back, I'm afraid you would still be on the run. I, Qingfeng Village, don't have such a big industry. "
"It was my turn of events."
Nie Chen smiled.
Soon, the coffins of Nie Chen's parents were buried, filled with soil, and the tombstones were re-erected.
Nie Chen and Weng Qiuchan first kowtowed to his father and mother, and then kowtowed to his mother. That was the end of the matter.
After returning to the village, Qingfeng Village held a banquet and took out the hero wine for the soldiers to drink and share the joy together.
After all, they won a great victory, got back so much money and food, and the second boss and the eldest lady were engaged again. This was a double blessing, and certainly worthy of a big celebration.
The soldiers were drinking freely outside, and a large table was set up in the Juyi Hall, filled with people.
Da Dangjia, Nie Chen, Weng Qiuchan, Da Zhuang, Ma Niubai, Lin Guang, Wang Hao, Qi Huan, and Li Yuanjun are all here.
All the powerful leaders in Qingfeng Village have arrived.
Wang Erniu, who was in charge of the minerals, Qi Daniao, who was in charge of the heavy crossbow team, and the small bosses in charge of the weapons workshop, iron smelting room, crafts room, brewery, etc. also set up a table outside and drank a lot. It's all fun.
Da Zhuang raised his glass and smiled,
"Come, let's all toast the second master and the eldest lady together, and wish them a happy marriage and a long life together."
"Come, Mr. Jing Er and the eldest lady."
Everyone raised their glasses and drank the wine in one gulp.
The headmaster looked at everyone present and said with a smile,
"Our Qingfeng Village is now full of talents. More than a month ago, there were only three people here, Da Zhuang Qiuchan and me, but now there is a table full of heroes. I feel so happy!
Come, let’s have another bowl, everyone. I’m happy today, there’s no limit to the amount of wine you can drink! "
"Done!"
"It's great! After so many days on the mountain, today is the only time I can drink unlimited amounts of Haohan wine. Wang Hao and Lin Guang, come and compete with me."
Ma Niubai and Wang Hao are now considered friends. The two have settled their differences. The two people who were beaten to the point of losing their brains now laugh away their grudges.
Nie Chen finished his drink, looked at everyone present and said,
"Now while everyone is here, I have some arrangements to discuss with you."
Seeing that Nie Chen was about to get down to business, Ma Niubai also became quiet, and everyone listened to his speech.
"Things like recruiting soldiers and workers are always going on. We have robbed the Liu family's money this time. We don't need to worry about money issues for a long time. It just so happens that we can kill people in Qingfeng Village this time. The county magistrate killed the big households, and in the name of acting on behalf of heaven, he struck while the iron was hot and recruited more soldiers.
Da Zhuang, Lin Guang, Wang Hao, Ma Niu Ai, you four should worry more about this matter.
I discussed other matters with others. This time when we came back, we brought back more than 300 women. Today I saw that many brothers in the village were drooling. "
Hearing this, Ma and Niu laughed loudly,
"It's better that the second boss understands the brothers. There used to be no women in the village, and everyone didn't think about anything. Now that there are so many here all at once, it's really time for the brothers to relax.
I, Lao Ma, am here to thank the second boss on behalf of my brothers. "
However, Nie Chen said with a gloomy face,
"So, starting from tomorrow, we must establish a rule. No one is allowed to touch the women in the village.
Those who tease with words will have their tongues cut off.
Those who commit obscenity will have their hands chopped off and expelled from Qingfeng Village.
Those who forcibly commit adultery will be beheaded and their bodies hung on poles for three days. "
As soon as Nie Chen said this, everyone in the audience was shocked. It was Weng Qiuchan and Li Yuanjun who looked at Nie Chen with wide eyes.
Nie Chen said,
"These women are all pitiful people. Now they go up to the mountain because our Qingfeng Village can protect them. If you still want to hurt them, wouldn't our Qingfeng Village betray their trust?"
