It was clear that the old man had not thought about it. This little girl's attitude had changed a few times in just a short while.
He was both surprised and amused. He thought of how gentle and virtuous Wang-wang had been when she had served beside him for so long. When he had left for the village, the only thing he could not let go of was the little girl.
With furrowed brows, the old man looked at Song Yao. This girl did not look like a newborn baby at all, but her face looked like it couldn't be wrong.
It made sense. A year ago, when his husband had died from illness, the three of them should have been more powerful.
However, he was still a bit puzzled, so he asked, "You said Little Wan was bullied? Then why didn't she come to me? Why didn't you come to find me? "
Song Yao was startled, the village chief was someone that her mother had never mentioned before. She had lost a part of her memories and the things that she knew were intermittent, why did she think of coming here to seek help?
However, even though this was the case, as the Village Chief, he did not bother to do anything and insisted on having people come and look for him. What sort of logic was this?
"This is not an excuse, is it? As the head of the village, shouldn't you help the villagers settle their disputes and get rich? How come you can't see them all the time? Besides, how will you manage the villagers if you live in such a secluded place? Is this not your fault? "
"I …"
"If you can't do it, naturally, you will be able to do it. Why do you need to take this title and not do it? Wasn't this delaying the villagers? "And …"
"Enough."
Song Yao's accusation was heartlessly interrupted by A Chu, who was standing behind her. "Sir, you have matters to attend to, and are only a few villagers, how can you be worthy of Teacher's attention and discipline?"
Song Yao was greatly angered by his words, "Ha, I never thought that someone like you, who seems to have a good family background and can read good books, would actually say something like that? Let me ask you, what is the big thing and what is the small thing? "
"Song Yao, shut up!" It was Fu Qing again, "You can't be rude, quickly apologize to young master!"
Song Yao originally wanted to continue, but seeing Fu Qing's extremely troubled expression, she wanted to say something and swallowed her words.
After glancing at the few of them, she opened her mouth and said, "Forget it, Summer Bug cannot speak of ice. Is there anything else you need? If there's nothing else, I'm going to leave. I don't have such a good life as you guys. One is born well while the other is a hermit. Of course, I am not wrong, I will never apologize! "
Seeing that the four of them did not make a sound, A Chu's face became even darker. Song Yao turned around and was about to leave, but was stopped by the man surnamed Xie.
"I hope that young lady can keep the matter of us finding the Teacher Xu a secret. If the matter were to be leaked, young lady might end up in a lawsuit. Young lady is smart, I hope young lady is aware of the situation."
His voice was very cold. Although he said it was a warning, it actually sounded more like a threat. Song Yao looked at him and said: "I'm not interested in these things. As long as no one forces me to do it, I will definitely not do anything unnecessary."
She turned around and was about to leave, but was stopped by the village chief. His face showed a hint of affection: "I never thought that Little Wen would bring up such a character of a girl, I will remember what you said. When I finish this favor, I will definitely uphold justice for all of you!"
After Song Yao heard this, he also felt that she had become more radical. She turned around and said, "Then I'll be waiting for you. Don't disappoint my mother and me."
Elder Xu nodded his head and smiled, "Don't be angry. I haven't seen you for a long time. Last time, you looked like you were only ten. It's been a long time."
Song Yao was surprised: "Do you not go out often? How come it's been so long? "
Elder Xu shook his head helplessly. "There's nothing I can do. If I take over this matter, I must give the person who entrusted a good answer. I do not dare to tarry even a moment longer."
Song Yao was curious, "What happened? "So busy?"
Elder Xu said mysteriously, "This is a secret."
Song Yao:... All right …
After experiencing this incident, she knew that these people must have caught her to keep this matter a secret. It seemed like this old mister wasn't just the head of the village, and they were keeping this matter a secret. This matter shouldn't be simple.
However, it was none of her business. She looked around the courtyard. It was elegantly decorated. In modern times, it would probably be considered a small villa.
The two sides of the courtyard were filled with willow trees. In the morning, when there was fog and wind, it would be comparable to a fairyland.
She looked around, her gaze drawn to a wooden frame to the right of the yard.
The shelves had five floors, each about half a meter high. Small wooden basins of different sizes were placed on top of them. Most of the pots were filled with soil, and only a few contained water.
She was extremely curious, so she went to take a look. Just as she picked up the water basin, her neck suddenly felt a chill. So it was that Xie man's sword.
"Put it down!" He was concise.
The old man reacted, his expression turning serious. Taking the thing from Song Yao's hands, he said in a serious tone: "Little girl, not everything can be touched."
Song Yao paused, "It's just a seed, what's there to be so serious about? I think there are a lot of water, aren't you afraid it will rot?"
All four were startled, and then Old Mr. Xu asked: "Do you know what kind of seed this is? How can you speak nonsense? "
"Corn …" Song Yao said.
Seeing that they were all staring at her with a strange expression, she said awkwardly: "Is it really that strange to know this? Corn, isn't that what everyone is growing? "What's so special about that …"
At this point, she suddenly thought of something. It seemed like everyone was planting wheat …
Besides, corn is not the word of the age.
"It shouldn't be corn. It should be called corn."
She tried to speak, but the knife in her neck moved another inch. There was a slight pain, and blood was already flowing.
"For real?" Song Yao's heart tensed, she easily blocked the sword, and used her elbow to attack Xie Yang's face. Originally, she was caught off guard, but who knew that Xie Yang's reaction would be so fast.
"You actually have the skill?" It was Fu Qing's voice.
Song Yao was not as skilled as the others, and admitted her defeat: "But a three-legged cat, is not as powerful as the two of you. However, if you want to kill me, you have to give me a reason. I only said the name of this thing, why are all of you reacting in such a way? "
Old Master Xu was stunned for a moment, and then he reached out to take the sword from her shoulder, and asked: "How did you find out about this? We are the only ones who know about this in the entire kingdom, how could you know? "
Song Yao:...
Oh, because I'm from the future, she couldn't say.
After thinking about it, Song Yao still said, "I saw it in a book …"
"A book? Where's the book? "Which book?"
It was actually A Chu's voice.
