Chapter 163: County Magistrate Begging for Food
It was better in ancient times. There were no evil real estate developers and capitalists. People could live in and occupy any place on deserted islands and mountains.
In modern times, her day's salary might not even be enough to pay for the entrance fee here.
Finding a place like this, Jiang Lili felt like she was dreaming: "Why don't these monkeys live here themselves?"
Master Liao was surveying the feng shui here with a compass and a flashlight.
"I guess the water quality of this hot spring is not suitable for them, otherwise this place would have been occupied by them and turned into a monkey mountain long ago."
After Master Liao inspected the geographical location of the cave, he held the compass in one hand and placed the other hand behind his back. He immediately acted like a little Taoist priest. "This cave is backed by the main peak, with the Azure Dragon and White Tiger Mountains on the left and right. It is located high above, with a spacious hall in front. It is a typical blessed place with mountains behind and water in front, and surrounded on both sides."
Xin Che was surprised to hear Liao Dabao's well-reasoned and logical words.
Although he already knew that Dabao was a gifted child prodigy, this was the first time he took Dabao seriously. This child had a clear mind, and if he were allowed to learn some military tactics, he might be able to become a great military strategist in the future.
Master Liao didn't know that he had been targeted and was running around happily in the cave.
As a Feng Shui family, he was also considered a half-Feng Shui master, and he liked such a place with abundant spiritual energy: "Living here and drinking the spring water here, I will definitely be able to grow tall and strong!"
You sent Jiang Lili back to the village temple and asked Yin Zhen about the pastry recipe.
Liao Dabao, the little and square girl who made all the uncles and aunts have a bad impression of you, came up from the mountain, but she forgot to bring some bad things to share with the villagers.
Sister Yin Zhen must be very worried about whether Lord Hu returned home last night or not.
Lao Zhao and Lao Yu, who were rescued yesterday, rushed to the eight people with the scorched eggs and eight bottles of coconut water, and said, "Thank you for saving my life yesterday. It's a great gift, and I hope you will accept it."
Liao Dabao shared what he had picked from the mountain with his family: "Those are the fruits and bamboo shoots you picked from the mountain. Share them with your family!"
Liao Dabao also has a solution, let the group of monkeys follow him if they want.
Yan Leihao thinks that if you bring a mobile phone that can connect to the Internet, your step count will probably top the list of WeChat Moments.
"You're too polite, fellow villager."
"Let's go."
Master Liao nodded vigorously. I have a strong taste and like spicy food, but spices and seasonings are scarce on the island, and Miss Jiang is the cashier. I thought about it all night and figured out how to exchange chili powder with Liao Dabao.
Faced with the aunts' cold praise, Xin Che knew how to respond for a moment, but the corners of his mouth were consciously raised.
Fortunately, we didn't have Liefeng's walking navigation, so under Liefeng's guidance, we planned the slowest uphill route all the way to Yeli Village.
The aunts all smiled and said, "Oh, you really did misjudge someone. That guy will protect people at first sight."
It was a sunny day when the three of them came out of the cave. The sun was shining brightly, and the chirping of birds in the valley could be heard clearly.
As the eight of us were climbing the mountain, Liao Dabao discovered that the monkeys had not dispersed, but were following us.
You really have the energy to tame such a small group of monkeys.
Jiang Lili scratched her head helplessly. How could she say that the monkey was stupid? If she could help Liao Dabao, the sponsor, she would be in trouble. "It seems that he has not yet become our new Monkey King."
But Liao Dabao was surrounded by his fellow villagers, and I had to interrupt him.
As soon as Master Liao saw Liao Dabao, he became anxious and wanted to talk to Liao Dabao.
The county magistrate was a bad and lazy villain who often went to the neighboring village to eat and drink for free. At first, the villagers next door were a little respectful to me because I was the county magistrate.
The old man looked quite pitiful. Liao Dabao stuffed me with bamboo shoots he had picked from the mountain and said, "Is he here to ask you for chili powder?"
"That macaque, Lao Ba, is probably going to be our monkey king in the future."
Although there was no road at all in the primitive jungle, which was only covered with dense weeds, with Xin Che leading the way with a sickle in his pocket, the eight people successfully reached the mountain an hour and a half ago.
Xin Che held Liao Dabao in one hand and Lord Hu in the other, and nervously descended from the rock wall of the valley.
Liao Dabao showed his empty backpack and said, "Children, do you have any peaches? Go back to your own homes and look for your own mothers!"
Liao Dabao stretched a little and said, "We have found the place. The rain has stopped for a long time and the mountain road has become slippery. It's time to go up the mountain."
"Really? The one in your family is amazing, even as smart as Xiaobao." Liao Dabao patted Yan Lei on the shoulder.
"You traded him a secret that he agreed to!"
Yan Leihao thought about putting a staircase or something behind the cave, so that he could fly down every time and it would be less troublesome to fly up.
"Sister Li, we probably realized that following him wouldn't hurt us, so we just kept following him."
When the villagers saw Liao Dabao and his group, they shouted happily, "The heroes of our village are back!"
Finally, at noon, Liao Dabao and his eight companions appeared at the foot of the front mountain.
Liao Dabao looked at the old man with a white beard and decadent clothes, and was stunned for a moment before he remembered that he was the prefect of Dan'er County.
Although I haven't established basic contact with the villagers yet, it's a covert matter like a gold mine. Once the news leaks out, the consequences will be disastrous. I'd better observe for a while.
At that time, I squeezed over and poked my head in and asked, "What are you dividing? Let me show you."
Outside the farmland of Yeli Village, everyone would look towards the mountain in front from time to time, and the one who looked up with everyone was Master Liao, the governor of Dan'er County.
The aunts pulled Liao Dabao to look left and right, and they were worried when they saw that you were injured. "Those fruits are not found outside the deep mountains, right? They ran so far, did they encounter anything safe?"
Yesterday and today, the county magistrate came to our village to report and asked indirectly about Liao Dabao's whereabouts.
But our Yeli Village is poor, and there is nothing we cannot get. Every time Master Liao comes, our villagers cry out to him about our poverty, and then Master Liao dares to come.
After walking around the mountain for a day and a half, Yan Leihao was almost confused.
"You saw that there was little food outside the mountain, so you stayed outside the mountain for one night, which made Xiaojia worried."
Until then, the villagers in the nearby fishing village had no idea that Master Liao was just a paper tiger who had been demoted to Dan'er County, Haizhou, and they simply treated him as air.
Liao Dabao and others accepted the gifts from the seven people, and the two villagers felt relieved. They felt really sorry for letting Miss Jiang's family retreat from the mountain during the rainy day.
"Back, back!"
Everyone was puzzled by the arrival of Master Liao. The number of times the county governor appeared outside Yeli Village in a year could not be counted on one's hands.
Yan Leihao also picked some herbs and wild fruits along the way. His men had to carry some things with them. After strolling in the mountains for a day and a half, they had to have an excuse.
