I don't have a system but I have a hammer

I smiled and nodded to express my understanding, then turned to look at the sword-browed man who had hung up the communication, and spoke a lie...

"Hello, I would like to donate 50 yuan to your village personally. I wonder if you are the person in charge of this?"

To my surprise, the sword-browed man didn't show too much enthusiasm after hearing my words, but frowned slightly, and then took out the communicator...

"Well, I'm just a acting village chief. I'll give you a number for the donation, and you can just contact my leader..."

As he spoke, he added another sentence in a lukewarm manner...

"Hey, I have to arrange a place for people outside to hide from the rain now, you sit and drink tea first..."

After finishing speaking, he nodded slightly towards the tea girl, grabbed a raincoat and walked away quickly...

This guy... is more arrogant than me?

Seemingly aware of my expression, the tea girl explained something for him as if she was apologetic...

"I'm sorry, my husband was sent to the Shaolin Temple by his family since he was a child, and later joined the army, so he has a more straightforward personality and is not very good at turning corners, but he is actually very kind-hearted... All the young people in this village have disappeared. Now he Stay here alone, he will fight everything alone..."

Nodding slightly, I glanced at the talisman hanging on the beam, and changed the subject as if I didn't care...

"When I first came here, I heard the villagers say that there are people performing rituals every night. Is it true?"

The tea girl smiling should be...

"That's right, it's the Taoist chief invited by my husband. He didn't believe it at first, but he didn't want to invite him until the Taoist priest cured my leg disease..."

As she was speaking, she seemed to be afraid that I would not believe her, she immediately took two steps down the ground, and at the same time explained...

"Hey, I accidentally broke my leg because I was avoiding killer rats. The doctor said that I would be limping for the rest of my life, but as soon as the Taoist made a move, I returned to normal that day. My husband couldn't help but believe it..."

I pretended to be surprised and glanced at her legs, then asked a little expectantly...

"Ah? Is it so miraculous? Can you recommend me, I have problems all over my body..."

The tea girl smiled when she heard the words, she was very generous and gave me a communication channel...

"The Daoist priest is very kind, but he doesn't show up very often, and I don't know if he will answer your call now, but he will come out to do things at night, and you can see him then..."

I nodded to show that I understood, I silently wrote down the communication channel, and instead of chatting with the Taoist priest immediately, I asked another question...

"Just now I met a local at the intersection. He said that the village chief used to be in charge of afforestation projects. How did he persuade the villagers to join him?"

Seeing the flash of hesitation in the eyes of the tea pourer girl, I hastily added with a smile...

"I'm sorry, I forgot to mention. I also have two afforestation projects in my hands. The money has been approved, but the people in the village are not willing, so I want to come here to learn from the experience and learn..."

I don't know if it was because my tone was not sincere enough, or because the tea girl was wary, so she didn't give me an answer, but just gave me a commonplace excuse...

"Hey, I'm just a woman, how can I know the twists and turns in this place? By the way, you just said that you donated 50 yuan. Is it true?"

Seeing that she had changed the subject, I already knew it, smiled and nodded, and answered casually...

"Yeah, our boss is a kind person. He often does good deeds without leaving his name. By the way, what do you old people do for a living? I see that the fields in the village are full of weeds. It seems that everyone has taken care of them for a long time..."

Seeing that I didn't ask any more questions, the tea girl seemed relieved, and then smiled and helped me change a cup of hot tea...

"It's because of my husband's army. I asked the old people in the village to help make cloth clothes and shoes, and then transport them to some severely disaster-stricken or poor areas. Although the price given by the government is not high, it is barely enough to live on..."

Speaking of this, she raised her foot as if showing off...

"Look, it's the kind of cloth shoes I wear on my feet. You can also add a fleece cover inside, which is comfortable and warm... Sometimes I do things by myself when I have nothing to do at home..."

I pretended to be surprised and took out a red note...

"Haha, I like this kind of cloth shoes. They can also be worn as cotton shoes. Can you get me a pair?"

The tea girl gave me a reproachful look...

"What are you talking about, I'll give you both..."

Following the words, she got up and entered the inner hall...

In the next second, I stood up quickly, stepped on the stool and took out the communicator, and took a close-up photo of the front and back of the yellow symbol on the beam...

"Hey, what size do you wear?"

Back at my seat, I shook my teacup nonchalantly, and answered casually...

"42!"

...

The rain has started to fall...

Gloomy, cold, pattering, continuous...

Chen Dahu, who is like a queen mother...

That's right, I used the excuse of "wanting to visit the village ancestral hall" to bid farewell to the tea girl, and rejected her idea of ​​going with her, and then used the communicator to connect to the Taoist priest...

All I got was one sentence...

"The communication channel you are connected to is temporarily busy..."

After trying a few more times, I probably figured out that the other party should have set the Do Not Disturb mode...

With cloth shoes in hand and rain on my body, I arrived at the ancestral hall according to the location mentioned by the tea girl...

Interestingly, a large group of people gathered in the hall outside the ancestral hall, all of them were car owners outside, chatting with each other with sighs, with a depressed expression of "when will this road be open to traffic"...

Several people in the crowd were greeting everyone for tea, and one of them was a middle-aged man whom he had seen before, and the leading guy was naturally the sword-browed man...

"Village Chief, did it say when the road will be opened?"

People are actually very interesting. Even though they already know the answer, they still have to keep asking others to find the sense of security that "even a little bit is enough"...

What surprised me was that the sword-browed man who was indifferent to me treated these outsiders with a warm look...

Handing the man a bowl of tea casually, he smiled and shook his head...

"Hey, I don't know too well... But if you just look at the rain, it will be raining for at least a few hours..."

At this time, the middle-aged man also found me, his eyes lit up, and he eagerly greeted me with tea...

"Come on, sit inside, it's warm inside, you've been drenched in the rain just now, drink some hot tea to warm your body..."

After taking it, I glanced at the tea in the bowl, it was just a very ordinary bowl of ginger tea...

Smiling at the middle-aged man, I casually found a place to sit down, shaking ginger tea in my hand, but didn’t take a sip, just looked at the cloth shoes in my hand thoughtfully...

"Come on, whoever wants to drink, come over and pour tea yourself, don't be polite..."

The sword-browed man smiled at the crowd, and gave some instructions to those who were pouring tea...

"Leave one of you to take care of them, and the rest will go outside with me to see if emergency repairs can help..."
