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 confused.
"It's my first time to come to Nomo Town, so I should go and pay a visit to the mayor!" Duan Zhenghou hurriedly explained.
"Okay, that's okay, 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, glanced at the two bundles of firewood on the ground, and suggested.
"no problem!"
Although Duan Zhenghou wanted to visit the mayor at this moment, he could only follow Wang Shi's words.
Afterwards, Wang Shi led Duan Zhenghou into the town.
When passing by the big locust tree, Duan Zhenghou just glanced at it and said nothing.
After all, I have seen all the toads in Yuanying Dzogchen, so a locust tree in the divine transformation stage is nothing.
On the way, 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 breathed a sigh of relief.
What a risk, this old woman doesn't have Xuantian Lingbao.
But just after Wang Shi said goodbye to the old woman, Duan Zhenghou suddenly caught a glimpse of a sickle placed on the old woman's pole.
But just now the sickle was pressed by the vegetables, and when the old woman picked up the load, she shook it, just in time to shake the vegetables that were pressed against the sickle away.
When Duan Zhenghou saw the sickle, he couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth a few times.
Perhaps, there might actually be hundreds of Xuantian Spiritual Treasures in this small town.
Wang Shi didn't know what Duan Zhenghou was thinking.
Along the way, the two of them said nothing, and soon they came to the gate of a large house.
The plaque above this house reads "Zhou Mansion".
When Duan Zhenghou saw such a big house, his first reaction was that Old Uncle Zhou was a servant of the Zhou Mansion and worked specifically for the Zhou Mansion.
"Here we are, this is Uncle Gen's home!" Wang Shi said with a smile.
"Brother Wang, you mean that old man Zhou lives here?" Duan Zhenghou was stunned.
"Yes, Uncle Lao Gen is the richest in our town, not even Captain Song can compare!" Wang Shi replied with a smile.
Duan Zhenghou was stunned.
My mind couldn't help but recall the appearance of Old Man Zhou, with his thin body and old clothes, carrying firewood twice his size under the scorching sun.
But this kind of person turned out to be the richest family in the town.
"What's wrong? Are you surprised?"
The young man seemed to have guessed what Duan Zhenghou was thinking and said with a smile.
"Yes!" Duan Zhenghou nodded with a wry smile.
"Actually, this is nothing in our town! Our town has not been rich for a long time, and many people still cannot change some of their previous habits! For example, when we came here just now, did we meet the old woman selling vegetables?"
Wang Shi smiled and didn't care.
Duan Zhenghou nodded.
"Her family owns a share of the mine in the back mountain of our town!" Wang Shi said with a smile.
Duan Zhenghou was stunned for a moment, "Brother Wang, don't you know..."
"I am just a farmer, but my two sons are officials in the capital!!" Wang Shi waved his hand and said very modestly.
Duan Zhenghou had nothing to say.
It was unimaginable that the simple-faced, dark-skinned peasant in front of him actually had two sons who were high-ranking officials in the capital.
“The people in your small town are so approachable!”
Duan Zhenghou uttered the last sentence.
Indeed, whether it is the old man Zhou, the old woman, or Wang Shi in front of him, they do seem to be quite approachable.
"A lot of people said that!"
Wang Shi smiled and said, "Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's return the two bundles of firewood to Uncle Gen!"
With that said, Wang Shi stepped forward, grabbed the copper ring and knocked on the door.
"who is it?"
Suddenly, a crisp voice came from inside.
Immediately, the door was slowly pushed open, and a little girl about ten years old stuck her head out in confusion.
"It's Xiaowei!"
Wang Shi recognized the little girl in front of him and greeted her with a smile.
"It's Uncle Shitou, what can you do?"
Zhou Xiaowei pushed the door open completely, glanced at Wang Shi and Duan Zhenghou, and Wang Shi told him about the firewood.
"Your grandfather cut these two bundles of firewood. We have some things to do. The firewood is placed here. Please ask your father to come out and take it in later!"
"OK!"
Zhou Xiaowei nodded, and Wang Shi and Duan Zhenghou left together.
"Xiaowei, who knocked on the door just now?"
Zhou Mingzhu heard something moving and came out to check.
"Auntie, grandpa chopped the firewood and forgot to bring it back. Uncle Shitou and another uncle brought it over!" Zhou Xiaowei said crisply.
"The same goes for your grandfather. At such an old age, he still has to go to the mountains to cut firewood, and there is no shortage of firewood at home!!" Zhou Mingzhu shook her head.
"Grandpa said he had nothing to do at home, so he went to the mountains to chop wood and exercise!" Zhou Xiaowei said with a smile on his face.
…
the other side.
Duan Zhenghou and Wang Shi had just left Zhou Mansion when they saw a luxurious carriage parked in an open space not far from Zhou Mansion.
As soon as he saw the carriage, Duan Zhengwai stopped in his tracks.
Because this carriage is the carriage that the beauty I met on the road was riding in.
And this carriage was parked near Zhou Mansion.
Could it be?
Duan Zhenghou seemed to have thought of something.
Impossible, impossible.
Although Old Man Zhou's daughter happened to be back today, it cannot be said that this carriage belongs to Old Man Zhou's family. It is also possible that the beauty's home is very close to here.
"What's wrong with Mr. Duan?"
Wang Shi saw Duan Zheng waiting to stop and said in confusion.
"Brother Wang, does this carriage belong to the Zhou family?"
Duan Zhenghou couldn't help but look at Wang Shi nervously.
"Yes, this carriage belongs to Uncle Lao Gen's daughter. Not long ago, I saw Uncle Lao Gen's daughter riding this carriage back to the town!!" Wang Shi said.
"How many daughters does old man Zhou have?" Duan Zhenghou swallowed his throat.
"There is only one, Uncle Lao Gen's daughter. Speaking of which, our town is so rich, thanks to Uncle Lao Gen's daughter!!" The young man said with a smile.
Duan Zhenghou has been petrified.
Even what Wang Shi said later, he couldn't listen to.
Because, before that, Old Man Zhou wanted to introduce his daughter to him.
But he refused on the grounds that he would get married early and have children. He also comforted Old Man Zhou by saying that your daughter would meet her destined person sooner or later.
etc....
Isn't he the destined one?
Duan Zhenghou suddenly became energetic.
When he entered a small town, he met the father of his beloved, who even wanted to be a matchmaker for him.
There is a red thread that connects him and that beauty.
Originally, Duan Zhenghou wanted to know the name of Old Man Zhou's daughter, but he thought it would be inappropriate to ask a girl's name directly now, so he stopped asking.
Anyway, it’s important to pay a visit to that mysterious expert for now.
After all, if the mysterious master didn't allow him to stay in the town, it would be in vain for him.
