There were two men standing, one of whom was obviously thinner, wore thin clothes, had sunken cheeks, and looked malnourished.
The only characteristic is that he wears a Confucian shirt and seems to be a scholar.
The other one looked quite energetic. This person was Li Zheng Liu Xingwang from Xishan County, and he happened to be in charge of Dahe Village.
The young man next to him is the new mayor of Dahe Village.
"Xiao Zhou, you are a scholar and I am very happy that you are willing to come to our place and become the village chief. However, you must be mentally prepared. There are almost no people in Dahe Village that you are responsible for."
Liu Xingwang said with some seriousness that scholars, whether in the previous dynasty or now, are more respected, especially among farmers.
"Uncle Xingwang, don't worry. I escaped from other places. It's great to have a place to stay. But I'm not familiar with the place, so I have to rely on you." Zhou Qing complimented very skillfully.
, he stuffed a few taels of silver into his hand without moving his expression.
To say that when she first came here, Zhou Qing was still a bit embarrassed, or maybe it was the reserve of a young person, but in the past few years of fleeing, she has completely let go of it.
Being reserved and self-respect can fill your stomach. It’s already good if you don’t starve to death.
If she hadn't been born under the red flag in her previous life and received all kinds of education, she didn't even know what she would have done.
During these days of fleeing, she really saw a lot of evil that she had never seen before, and she naturally acted more appropriately.
At the same time, she deeply understood that in this era, her identity as a woman had great constraints on her. After realizing this, she decisively chose to dress up in men's clothing.
Actively collect information, knowing that the war is about to end, the old dynasty has faded, and the new master is coming.
So she spent most of her savings to find herself the position of village head.
The purpose is to find a reliable place to settle down.
Fortunately, the world is now settled, and management is not strict. Being able to become the village chief of this Dahe Village can be regarded as a mistake for her.
She specifically inquired about this village. Due to the war, most of the young people in the village were taken away to fight, and almost no one came back. Therefore, only some old and weak women and children were left. As time went by, many people
They also died for various reasons, or left here to find other ways out.
Therefore, there are not many people in the whole village now. There are only less than a dozen households in the village. The largest number of people is only 4 people, and the smallest number is only 1 person.
There were less than thirty people in total, ten of whom were children under ten years old. It was completely within her tolerance.
Of course, since the position of village chief has been planned, Zhou Qing will naturally assume the responsibilities of this position.
After flipping the money in his hand, Liu Xingwang showed a smile on his face. Despite the fact that the young man in front of him looked unreliable, he was quite generous with his move.
For the sake of money, he was naturally willing to help him put in a few nice words in front of the old villagers in Dahe Village.
"As long as you know what's going on, let's go in now and I'll introduce you to my servant."
After saying that, he led the people towards the village.
Looking along the way, the village was indeed similar to Zhou Qing's. There were mostly weeds growing in the fields and it was obviously deserted. Most of the houses passing by were empty, let alone anyone.
However, Dahe Village must have lived a good life in the past. There were several mud-tile houses, but there were only a few adobe houses that were common in other villages.
Zhou Qing observed the layout of Dahe Village while thinking about his subsequent plans.
Until Liu Xingwang stopped in front of a house.
Zhou Qing guessed in his heart that this should be where the more prestigious old people in Dahe Village lived.
In fact, Zhou Qing's guess was correct.
"Uncle Dajiang, open the door. I've brought the new mayor of your village."
As the voice fell, the originally silent room squeaked and the door opened a small crack.
Revealing a face full of wind and frost.
The man looked at Liu Xingwang carefully, and after confirming that it was him, he opened the door slightly.
Then he looked at Zhou Qing, whom Liu Xingwang was talking about.
Due to years of war, the people of Dahe Village are instinctively wary of outsiders, which is why Zhou Qing and the others saw no one when they walked in.
To be honest, Zhang Dajiang is not at ease with this so-called new village chief in Liu Xingwang's mouth, even though he seems to be a weak scholar.
But since Liu Xingwang, the leader of Li Zheng, has been brought here and is said to be the new village chief of their Dahe Village, he, one of the few old people in the village, will naturally take notice.
If he is a good person, he will just pay it back. If he has any evil intentions, although there are no young people in Dahe Village, they are not easy to deal with these old guys.
For just a short moment, Zhang Dajiang had a lot of thoughts in his mind, but he still maintained that vigilant look on his face.
"Uncle Dajiang, this is your new village chief. His name is Zhou Qing. He is a scholar. He is absolutely reliable."
Liu Xingwang seemed not to notice Zhang Dajiang's vigilance, and still introduced with a smile.
During this process, Zhou Qing did not speak rashly, she was also observing the old man who appeared in front of her.
She who has learned to observe words and emotions naturally saw the old man's distrust and vigilance towards her, but Zhou Qing didn't care, and they were not familiar with her. She was still an outsider, and if she came, the other party would be very enthusiastic towards her. I'm afraid
Zhou Qing's first reaction was to run away.
After all, there must be a monster when things go wrong.
This is Zhou Qing's valuable experience gained from running away for these years.
After Liu Xingwang introduced the people, he planned to leave. He felt that his task had been completed.
As for the rest, since Dahe Village has a new village chief, it will naturally be left to the new village chief to take care of.
So I decided to leave.
"Now that everyone has met, Xiao Zhou, I will take you here. If you want to know anything else, just ask Uncle Da Jiang directly. I will leave first."
Watching Liu Xingwang leave, Zhou Qing and Zhang Dajiang fell into an inexplicable embarrassment.
Fortunately, Zhou Qing broke this uncomfortable atmosphere first.
"Uncle Dajiang, I have just arrived here and am not familiar with the village. Could you please ask Uncle Dajiang to take me to a place to stay?"
What Zhou Qing said was quite sincere. She was almost rotten. After such a long time of escaping, she was already quite tired both mentally and physically. After finally establishing a new dynasty, she came to Dahe Village, and her nerves were always tense.
Only then did he relax a little. This relaxation was naturally followed by deep fatigue.
