Chapter 1285
The breakfast stall of the mill has always been a gossip distribution center for the villagers since it opened. It is very popular during the two hours of opening the stall every day. This story is not about the village. After listening to it, everyone sighed twice, but Qi Ke paid attention to it. Because the villagers of Siliu Village also wash their clothes by the river, and they go to the mountains to find a clean stream to do their laundry. Sometimes there is only one woman working by the whole stream, not even the maid patrolling the mountain. There was no one to save him either.

Just when Qi Ke was holding his chopsticks in thought, his head was suddenly smacked, and then a familiar voice sounded on the left, and Zhao Lin on the right was getting up and saluting, calling for a bowl of salty soy milk from the stall .

"What are you thinking, so fascinated?"

"Old general, are you here today?" Qi Ke was unable to get up with his head held down, but he still raised his face and gave him a big smile.

"I practiced boxing earlier, sweated all over, took a shower and changed clothes, so it's later than usual." Old General Bai sat down in the empty seat on his left with a smile on his face. Ordered a few snacks.

"The old general is in good health." Qi Ke still remembers the appearance of old general Bai and a group of veteran generals when they first came to the village. It was really full of vicissitudes of life, pain and wind and frost on their faces, and the corners of their eyebrows, eyes and mouth were all downcast, revealing a fierce look. Not kind, the children in the village avoid them, and now they are much kinder and kinder.

"Why don't you say that this is a treasure land of geomantic omen." The old general rolled up his sleeves, took two sips of salty soy milk, "Fortunately, I made a wise decision, and it was the right place to come here."

"The old general is the Dinghaishenzhen of our Bai family army."

"Don't learn to flatter others at a young age." Old General Bai said this, but his face was always smiling. When he put down the soy milk, a light that belonged to an old fox flashed in his eyes, "What were you thinking just now? You didn’t respond when you came to the front, did you encounter difficulties?”

"No, just some everyday things."

"Yeah, what are you thinking about?"

"I just heard news from a neighboring village that the three sisters drowned when they went to wash clothes by the river."

"Tsk, alas." Old General Bo shook his head, tore off half of a freshly served fried dough stick and chewed slowly, "I've heard about this too, the older ones are only a few years old, what a pity."

"Similar things haven't happened in our village yet, but accidents are unpredictable. What if it happens to someone one day."

"So you want to think of a solution?" The old general dipped the fried dough stick in the soy milk, stuffed it into his mouth, and stretched out his hand to tear the other half into small pieces and threw it into the soy milk.

"Well, the women in the village all cross the bridge to wash their clothes by the stream in the mountains. The water is slippery and full of pebbles. If they fall and hit their heads on the stones, the consequences will be unimaginable. Wait until I find a way to solve this problem. , making life easier.”

"Okay, it would be a great thing if this hidden danger is really solved."

"Well, I'll think about it."

"Does your solution cost money?"

"If you want, people and property are all indispensable, and they all cost a little."

"Where does the money for the village come from?"

"There is a reward of 1000 taels in the village account. I invested in the short-term cotton business and waited for the dividends. This is where the money comes from."

"Oh, you started preparing last year? You have a vision." The old general raised his eyebrows, "I really didn't expect you to keep the money for so long, and no one in the villagers made a fuss about dividing the money."

"Well, I really didn't hear the voice of asking for money."

"Okay, the villagers trust you, work hard, don't let this trust down."

"Don't dare."
