As soon as I was reborn, my fiancé came to propose marriage!

Gao Yingming saw the emotion on Chen Yan's face and quickly took out the official seal from his bosom and handed it forward.

Chen Yan took the official seal across the roadblock at the entrance of the village and looked carefully at the jade seal in his hand.

The material I bought is indeed the black water jade used for the official seals of the Great Xia Dynasty. The official seal is engraved very clearly, and Gao Ruzheng's name is at the end.

"Mr. Gao is a good official..."

Chen Yan couldn't help but feel regretful while holding the official seal in his hand.

"Wait a moment, I'll go report to the village chief."

He asked everyone to stay here and hurried to the village chief's house to discuss countermeasures with him.

The village chief has been patrolling the village these days and always goes to bed late. When he has nothing to do, he sits in the yard with Chen Jixiang, so when someone knocks on the door, he reacts immediately.

When Chen Jixiang opened the door and found it was Chen Yan, he was shocked. He knew that Chen Yan was on patrol today, and seeing him rushing over, he thought something big had happened.

It is indeed a big deal.

Chen Yan hurriedly told the story, and the village chief couldn't help but ponder. He murmured softly, "Gao Ruzheng..."

"Yes, the official seal he showed me was real, and the man's speech and behavior did not seem like that of a commoner, and he was humble and polite."

Chen Yan stopped there and left the rest to the village chief to decide.

The village chief kept pacing in the yard, and his messy footsteps sounded particularly impatient to Chen Yan's ears.

"Village Chief, should we keep the people or not?"

Although Gao Yingming only said that he was asking for medicine, considering the patient's condition, he couldn't leave for the time being.

He knew the village chief's character well. If he helped, he would definitely keep them.

If they don't help, they will be driven away!

What seems like an ordinary choice has now become extremely difficult because of the three words "Gao Ruzheng".

The village chief thought about it again and again, and decided, "Stay. If it weren't for County Magistrate Gao ten years ago, the people of Changnan County would not have been able to survive the flood safely."

"Now that his bloodline has come to us, we cannot repay kindness with hatred and become ungrateful."

"Otherwise, I will feel guilty even in my grave. Moreover, County Magistrate Gao has sacrificed himself for the people. We cannot just ignore him."

"Well... just make an exception for once and let them in."

As soon as the village chief finished speaking, Chen Jixiang followed Chen Yan out, and the village chief followed closely behind.

When they arrived at the village entrance, he repeated what he had just said to the patrol members, and the patrol members then looked at Gao Yingming in surprise.

Everyone quickly opened the barrier and let them in.

Gao Yingming watched as the vigilant villagers changed their attitude within a quarter of an hour, and were actually willing to take them in!

My nose suddenly felt sore.

He remembered asking his father when he was young why he wanted to be a good official, and his father's answer was already very vague...

Although Gao Yingming has also adhered to the principles of being a gentleman and self-reliant over the years, he still feels that his father is too serious and competitive in his work, which is sometimes detrimental to himself.

Even now he is sacrificing himself for the people and cannot be reunited with his family.

But at this moment, Gao Yingming has never understood what his father insisted on as well as he does now!

Even after his death, he was still protecting his brother and sister.

Gao Yingming's eyes were red and he couldn't help but lower his head to cover them so that he wouldn't cry in front of everyone.

The shabby carriage immediately drove into the village, and the village chief asked them to live in the abandoned old house of the Zhao family, which was the one Fang Ruyu had lived in before.

The Zhao family never returned from the town after the famine, and presumably they would never come back.

The village chief asked Chen Jixiang to run to the doctor's house to get some antipyretic medicine.

Although the Gao family is penniless, they are not without savings.

Gao Yingming and his companions were riding in such a shabby carriage just to hide their identities.

Before leaving, his father handed over all the family savings to him, and the family’s surplus food was in the carriage, so they were now considered wealthy.

But from the moment he entered Yulin Village, every scene he saw made him feel that this village was different from the outside world.

First came the patrol team. All of them were strong and healthy, and didn’t look like they were hungry.

Secondly, it was so quiet after entering the village, obviously everyone was resting.

In this world, not only are there no troublemakers, there are not even people who go to other people's homes to steal things at night because they can't fill their stomachs.

Everything that caught my eye was enough to prove that the village was well managed, and they must have been well prepared, with every household having surplus food.

As smart as Chen Yan was, he naturally saw through Gao Yingming's test.

After he sent them to the Zhao family's old house, he stepped back calmly.

"Mr. Gao, you and your family should rest here first. The doctor will bring the medicine over later."

"But you don't have to give the silver. You have to exchange it with the doctor for food."

"Alas... everyone is having an easy time in this world now. I hope you understand."

"Brother Chen, don't worry. We will definitely provide you with food!"

Gao Yingming answered repeatedly.

After Chen Yan finished speaking, he hurried back and continued to guard the village entrance with the patrol team.

Gao Yingming originally just wanted to recover from his sister's illness here, but after seeing the situation in the village, he actually had the idea of ​​staying.

I just don’t know whether the people in the village are willing to accept them. Anyway, let’s give it a try!

He clenched his fists and decided to discuss it with the village chief tomorrow.

The village chief seemed to know Gao Yingming's concerns. He sent someone to fetch half a bucket of water and delivered it to his door early the next morning, and he followed along.

When he saw the dark circles under Gao Yingming's eyes, who had just woken up, he knew that it must not be easy for this child to travel all the way in fear.

He patted Gao Yiming's shoulder to comfort him.

"Children, just stay here with peace of mind."

"We in Yulin Village have received a favor from County Magistrate Gao, so letting you stay here is just a way of repaying the favor."

"But I must make it clear that you and the villagers should not disturb each other and live in peace. Don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask, and don't say things that you shouldn't say when you go out."

Gao Yingming was overjoyed when he heard this and quickly thanked him, "Thank you, Village Chief. I will keep this in mind and will not ask too many questions or say anything irresponsible."

"We are already very grateful that we can stay here, and we will definitely not cause any trouble."

"Don't be ridiculous, except for me, the rest of us are relatively slow. If no one reminds us, we will definitely not notice the difference in the village."

Smart people always keep their conversations to the point. With Gao Yingming's assurance, the village chief left with peace of mind.

Gao Yingming was very excited, they could really stay!

The village was very peaceful and there were patrols at night. It was the perfect place for their current situation.

Even if they walked forward a dozen or dozens of miles, they might not be able to find such a good place.
