I quietly became a big boss in the novice village

"Brother Wang, can you take me to meet the mayor?"

Duan Zhenghou took a deep breath, put the firewood on the ground, and said please.

"You want to see our mayor? Aren't you going to see Captain Song?" Wang Shi was a little puzzled.

"It's my first time to come to Jiajia Town, so I should pay a visit to the mayor!" Duan Zhenghou hurriedly explained.

"That's it, that's fine, but our mayor's house is a bit far away, I think we should return Uncle Gen's firewood first, and then go to the mayor's house!"

Wang Shi didn't think much about it, he glanced at the two bundles of firewood on the ground, and suggested.

"no problem!"

Although Duan Zhenghou really wanted to visit the mayor at this moment, he could only follow Wang Shi's words.

After that, Wang Shi led Duan Zhenghou into the small town.

When passing by the big locust tree, Duan Zhenghou just took a look and didn't say anything.

After all, I have seen all the toads of Nascent Soul Dzogchen, so a locust tree in the transformation stage is nothing.

On the road, he also met an old woman carrying two loads of vegetables. Wang Shi greeted the old woman familiarly. It seemed that the old woman was related to Wang Shi.

Duan Zhenghou heaved a sigh of relief.

It's dangerous, this old lady doesn't have Xuantian Lingbao.

But after Wang Shi said goodbye to the old woman, Duan Zhenghou suddenly caught a glimpse of a sickle on the old woman's shoulder pole.

It's just that the sickle was pressed by the green vegetables just now, and when the old woman was picking up the burden, she shook it, just shaking the green vegetables under the sickle.

When Duan Zhenghou saw the scythe, the corners of Duan Zhenghou's mouth couldn't help twitching a few times.

Perhaps, there might really be hundreds of Xuantian Lingbao in this small town.

Wang Shi didn't know what Duan Zhenghou was thinking.

Along the way, the two of them didn't say anything, and soon came to the gate of a big house.

The plaque on the house reads "Zhou Mansion".

When he saw such a big house, Duan Zhenghou's first reaction was that the old man Zhou was a servant of the Zhou Mansion, who was dedicated to doing things for the Zhou Mansion.

"Here we are, this is Uncle Lao Gen's house!" Wang Shi said with a smile.

"Brother Wang, you mean that old man Zhou lives here?" Duan Zhenghou was stunned.

"That's right, Uncle Lao Gen is the richest person in our small town, not even Captain Song!" Wang Shi replied with a smile.

Duan Zhenghou was already dumbfounded.

I can't help but recall the appearance of old man Zhou, with a thin body, wearing old clothes, and carrying firewood twice his size under the scorching sun.

But such a person turned out to be the richest family in the town.

"What's wrong? Are you surprised?"

The middle-aged strong man laughed as if he had guessed what Duan Zhenghou was thinking.

"There are some!" Duan Zhenghou nodded with a wry smile.

"Actually, this is nothing in our town! Our town has not been rich for long, and many people still can't change some of their previous habits! For example, when we came here just now, did we meet the old lady selling vegetables?"

Wang Shi didn't care and smiled.

Duan Zhenghou nodded.

"Her family owns the mine in the back mountain of our town!" Wang Shi laughed.

Duan Zhenghou was stunned, "Brother Wang, you wouldn't..."

"I'm just a farmer, but my two sons are officials in the capital!!" Wang Shi waved his hands and said modestly.

Duan Zhenghou had nothing to say.

It's hard to imagine that this simple-faced, dark-skinned farmer actually has two sons who are high-ranking officials in the capital.

"The people in your town are really approachable!"

Duan Zhenghou uttered one last sentence.

Indeed, whether it was the old man Zhou, the old woman, or Wang Shi in front of him, they seemed quite approachable.

"A lot of people say that!"

Wang Shi smiled, "Let's not talk about that, let's return the two bundles of firewood to Uncle Gen first!"

Said, Wang Shi stepped forward, grabbed the copper ring and knocked on the door.

"who is it?"

Suddenly, a clear voice came from inside.

Immediately, the door was slowly pushed open, and a little girl about ten years old poked her head out suspiciously.

"It's Xiaowei!"

Wang Shi recognized the little girl in front of him and greeted her with a smile.

"It's Uncle Stone, what's the matter with you?"

Zhou Xiaowei pushed the door open completely, glanced at Wang Shi and Duan Zhenghou, and Wang Shi told about the firewood.

"These two bundles of firewood were chopped by your grandfather. We still have some things to do. The firewood is placed here. Wait a minute and let your father come out and take it in!"

"Ok!"

Zhou Xiaowei nodded, and Wang Shi and Duan Zhenghou left together.

"Xiao Wei, who knocked on the door just now?"

Zhou Mingzhu heard movement and came out to check.

"Auntie, Grandpa forgot to bring back the firewood he chopped, Uncle Shitou and another uncle brought it here!" Zhou Xiaowei said crisply.

"It's true for your grandfather, too. He still has to go to the mountains to cut firewood at such an old age, and there is no shortage of firewood at home!!" Zhou Mingzhu shook his head.

"Grandpa said he has nothing to do at home, so he went to the mountains to chop firewood and exercise!" Zhou Xiaowei said with a playful face.

……

the other side.

Duan Zhenghou and Wang Shi had just left the Zhou Mansion when they saw a luxurious carriage parked in an open space not far from the Zhou Mansion.

Duan Zhengwai paused when he saw the carriage.

Because this carriage is the carriage of the beauty I met on the road before.

And this carriage was parked near Zhou Mansion.

Could it be?

Duan Zhenghou seemed to have thought of something.

Impossible, impossible.

Although the old man Zhou's daughter happened to come back today, it cannot be said that this carriage belongs to the old man Zhou's family, and the beauty's family may be very close to here.

"What happened to Mr. Duan?"

Seeing Duan Zhengwai stopped, Wang Shi was puzzled.

"Brother Wang, this carriage shouldn't belong to Zhou Mansion, right?"

Duan Zhenghou couldn't help looking at Wang Shi nervously.

"Yes, this carriage belongs to Uncle Gen's daughter. Not long ago, I saw Uncle Gen's daughter riding this carriage back to the town!!" Wang Shi said.

"How many daughters does Uncle Zhou have?" Duan Zhenghou swallowed.

"Only one, Uncle Lao Gen's daughter. Speaking of which, our town is so rich, thanks to Uncle Lao Gen's daughter!!" The middle-aged strong man laughed.

Duan Zhenghou has been petrified.

He couldn't even listen to what Wang Shi said later.

Because, before that, old man Zhou wanted to introduce her daughter to him.

But he refused on the grounds of getting married early and having children, and comforted the old man Zhou by saying that your daughter will meet her destined person sooner or later.

and many more....

Isn't he the one who was destined?

Duan Zhenghou regained his spirits immediately.

When he entered the small town, he met his beloved's father, and even his beloved's father wanted to be a matchmaker for him.

There is a red thread in the dark that connects him with that beauty.

Originally, Duan Zhenghou wanted to inquire about the name of Old Man Zhou's daughter, but he thought it would be a bit awkward to directly ask a girl's name now, so he didn't ask.

Anyway, it's important to visit that mysterious master right now.

After all, if the mysterious expert does not allow him to stay in the town, it will be in vain for him.
