Chapter 1609: Village Chief
Translator: Lonelytree
Listening to the women and villagers outside the door commenting on the arrival of the three of them, they were simply speechless.
The three of them looked at each other again and said,” Alright, now we’ve really become a monkey that people are admiring.”
“Sigh, the three of them are so handsome, and they look so well-dressed. They’re obviously rich.” A sharp-eyed woman said,” If my daughter marries one of them, wouldn’t 1 be rich?”
As soon as she finished speaking, someone immediately retorted sharply,” Tsk, why don’t you take a look at what your daughter looks like? Do you think he’ll be interested in your daughter?”
“My daughter is the flower of the village. Why isn’t she worthy of them?” The woman rolled her eyes at the woman who spoke and said disdainfully,” Humph, don’t think that I don’t know that you have the same idea as me. It’s just a pity that your daughter is so ugly that even the young men in the village don’t like her, not to mention these nobles. You can stop thinking about it!”
“You… What are you talking about?” The woman immediately said angrily,”
Your daughter is the ugly one. Ugly girl, an ugly girl who can’t be married off!”
“You, your daughter is the ugly one. If you say that my daughter is ugly, I’ll tear your mouth apart!’
In an instant, a battlefield between shrews was created by watching the handsome man.
Lin Yuelan, Jiang Zhennan, and Liu Yichen were speechless. They even rolled their eyes.
“Stop!” Seeing that the matter was getting out of hand and that they were being so rude in front of these guests, the chief was instantly fuming with anger.
He shouted,” You shrews, how dare you be so rude in front of our guests! Get lost! ”
He glanced at the men and women outside the door, especially the unmarried girls who had sneaked out and peeked at the guests. He was even angrier.
“Get lost!” The village chief shouted sternly!
If the other villages heard that these girls ran out to see other men, wouldn’t that make people laugh their heads off? Moreover, it was more likely to ruin the reputation of the village.
Therefore, he had to strictly curb this bad atmosphere.
To every village, the village chief’s prestige was undoubtedly very high.
After listening to the chief’s words, they had no choice but to leave the old man’s house.
After these people had mostly dispersed, the village chief gave the old woman a scare and shouted,” Don’t you know that it’s rude to bring so many people to disturb the guests?”
The old woman smiled awkwardly and said,” Village chief, don’t be angry. When the villagers saw me picking vegetables, they asked me. I said that there were guests at home, and they insisted on coming over to take a look. I couldn’t stop them.”
The old man saw that the village chief obviously had something to say. He shouted at the old woman,” Take these things and go cook!”
He handed the thing in his hand to his old woman, who took it and walked towards the kitchen.
After that, the old man said to the village chief,” Village chief, stay here and accompany the guests. I’ll go kill this rabbit and this chicken!”
The village chief waved his hand and said,” You can go!’
After the old man left, there were only four of them left in the courtyard. The village chief could finally ask again.
He asked Lin Yuelan and the others politely,” Are the three guests from the capital?”
Lin Yuelan and the other two didn’t answer him directly, but their expressions were a little indifferent. Lin Yuelan looked at the village chief and said with a faint smile,” We’re just passersby who came here to rest for the night. I wonder why the chief asked this?”
When he saw the expressions on Lin Yuelan, the village chiefs heart trembled. He felt a sense of submission when facing him. Moreover, the faint aura on his body was even more terrifying.
Suppressing the uneasiness and panic in his heart, the village chief said calmly and politely,” Ten days ago, a young master dressed in luxurious clothes gathered all the villagers within a ten-mile radius around us. He then instructed us to confirm if any strangers passed by the village in the next few days, and if there were, we should bring them to him. He…”
He felt a little guilty and uneasy. After all, the gorgeous young master had not summoned them at all. He had captured them in the middle of the night. What he wanted them to do was to pay attention to the outsiders and see if they were from the capital.
As for why, they had no right to ask!
That person also warned that they must not spread the news of their capture. Otherwise, the entire village might suffer.
Of course, after the matter was done, they would be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver!
This was really a mixed blessing.
However, he did not expect that a few days later, three foreign guests would really come to their village.
However, he still had to ask if he was from the capital.
If these three guests really came from the capital, then their village could be considered to have gained a windfall.
However, the gorgeous young master had mentioned two people, but there were three people in front of him. Therefore, he was not sure if these three people were from the capital. Therefore, it was better for him to ask clearly.
The village chief glanced at Lin Yuelan and the others’ expressions and said,” That luxurious Young Master said that a Miss Lin was his friend. I wonder if there’s a Miss Lin among you?”
All three of them looked like men.
Could it be that they weren’t the people the beautiful Young Master was looking for? The village chief was very suspicious.
Lin Yuelan smiled and shook her head.” Chief, the three of us are indeed from the capital. But we don’t have Miss Lin here, only Young Master Lin!”
Upon hearing Lin Yuelan’s words, the village chief’s clear eyes lit up. He immediately said with some excitement,” Then you, you are…” Then, you are the people that the young master is looking for.
Young Master Lin, Miss Lin, he looked like a woman dressed as a man. The village chief was very clear about this.
Lin Yuelan gave Liu Yichen a look.
Liu Yichen instantly understood!
He took out a silver ingot from his pocket and handed it to Lin Yuelan.
After Lin Yuelan received it, she handed it to the village chief and said, “Village chief, we hope that you will pretend that you don’t know anything after you step out of this door! Please accept this small gift!’
As she spoke, she handed the silver in his hand to the village chief.
However, the chief misunderstood her words. He assumed they knew about the luxurious young man.
He knew that if these three guests really came from the capital, they were not people a commoner like him could afford to offend.
However, the gorgeous young master was extremely ruthless. If the person he was looking for really came to this village and he did not bring the people to him, that person would kill the entire village.
The village chief was so frightened that his face turned pale. Then, he knelt down towards Lin Yuelan and the other two and cried,” Young masters, please save the villagers of this Village!’
Lin Yuelan frowned and asked in confusion,” Chief, what do you mean?”
The chief said,” That gorgeous young master warned us ten village chiefs that if we saw Miss Lin from the capital, we had to bring her to him. Otherwise, he would kill all of us in the village. I’ve seen that group of people before. They’re all filled with hostility and killing intent, especially that Gorgeous Young Master. We… We’re scared!”
They were just small commoners. How could they have thought that the nobles from the capital would suddenly come here? Moreover, they came in waves. They could not afford to offend any of them. They were afraid.
Lin Yuelan and Jiang Zhennan looked at each other, and then Jiang Zhennan slammed his fist on the table and said sternly,” Xiao Jingrui is really too much!”
Looking at Jiang Zhennan’s words and the village chief, who was trembling in fear from the sudden burst of murderous aura, he was even more certain that their identities were not ordinary.
” Please save the people in our village,” he pleaded in a low voice. “l beg you!’
Lin Yuelan sighed softly in her heart when she heard the village chief’s words. Then, she stood up and walked toward the village chief. She bent over slightly and helped him up. She consoled him,” Village chief, I’m sorry for bringing you trouble! However, don’t worry. I guarantee that all the villagers in your village will be safe and sound!”
Hearing Lin Yuelan’s words, the village chief didn’t seem to believe her. His eyes were fixed on Lin Yuelan.
Lin Yuelan also said very sincerely,” Chief, if what you said is true, that gorgeous Young Master should have known we were here the moment we entered the village. It’s not that we don’t want to look for him, but we want to wait until tomorrow. After all, we’re tired from the journey and want to rest for the night! So, village chief, don’t worry. Your village will be fine!”
Although he didn’t know if Lin Yuelan was telling the truth, he could only choose to believe her!
These three people were well-dressed and had extraordinary auras. What they said must be true.
In the end, Lin Yuelan still handed the silver over to the village chief, even though he kept refusing!
