Myths Begin From Boys' Gong
Chapter 2629: Showing Goodwill
Yes, Wen San has already thought about leaving. Staying in Xiaohan Village not only has no future, but is also full of dangers. Taking this opportunity to leave is also a way out.
In fact, Han Dali gave him three days with this intention, but it did give him some time to think.
The time has come. If you don't want to take the blame and become the sacrifice for Li Guizi's death, the best way is to run away and leave Xiaohan Village. No matter how much these people in Xiaohan Village blame you, it will be out of your reach.
Of course, if he could find the murderer, he could just stay in Xiaohan Village and no one would force him to leave.
It can only be said that there is a kind of tacit understanding between Wen San and Han Dali.
I know what you are thinking and I know what you are expecting, so I will do as you wish.
This kind of treatment is actually completely acceptable to Han Dali, and it is even the most acceptable result.
As long as Wen San leaves, he will be leaving with the crime committed. The death of Li Cuzi will be firmly welded to his body and he will not be able to get rid of it.
The presence of these village elders was not considered a loss of face, and the handling of the matter was appropriate so as not to damage their prestige.
"Okay, now that this matter has been dealt with, let's talk about the next thing. Li Quezi is dead and he has no relatives. This property is to be taken back by the village. Does anyone have any objections?"
The one who was speaking was Zhang Datou. If Li Quezi still had relatives, the property would definitely be left to them, and no one would be qualified to take it for themselves. But now that he has no relatives, naturally there is something to say.
Meng Zhao thought for a moment and said,
"Village head, elders, the hut I live in has fallen into disrepair over the years and it is difficult to continue living here. It is really difficult in the middle of winter.
I wonder if you can allow me to stay in Li Guizi's home for a while?"
In fact, overall, Li Guizi's house is pretty good. Although it is a bit old, it is spacious and well decorated. The soil in the yard is excellent fertile soil, and even if it is used to grow vegetables, a lot of harvest can be obtained.
Therefore, there are still many people in the village who have some ideas. Who wouldn’t want to occupy an extra piece of land?
Of course, what rural areas lack the least is land, so they won’t be so relentless.
Furthermore, Li Cuzi was different from other people who died of illness or old age. He was murdered and died in his own home. This is disgusting and unbearable.
In the eyes of ordinary people, this is a haunted house, an extremely unlucky place. Even if you can live there for free, you would not be willing to live in it.
Meng Zhao took the initiative to propose to stay in Li Guizi's house. Although this was beyond some people's expectations, no one cared much.
Of course, not everyone is indifferent to this. Wen San thought about it in his mind.
Logically speaking, Li Zheng and Li Quezi did not have much hatred. Could it be that he killed Li Quezi specifically for the sake of the house and then framed himself?
Isn't it too hasty and perverted to kill someone just for a broken house?
Han Dali and his companions did not go so far as to imagine such things. After all, they had already cleared Li Zheng of any involvement in the matter, so he would naturally not slap himself in the face and try to make amends.
Everyone had different opinions about Meng Zhao's idea.
The more Sun Datou looked at Meng Zhao, the more he felt that he was handsome, had a good talent for martial arts, and might have a fascinating background. He was definitely a potential stock.
In addition, Sun Datou’s eldest granddaughter is about the same age as Li Zheng, which makes him even more worried.
Of course, knowing that Li Zheng had a special background, the idea of marrying his grandson to his family faded a lot, but it still prevented him from wanting to marry his eldest granddaughter to Meng Zhao.
If it turns out to be a good marriage, wouldn’t that be a huge win?
Even if Li Zheng's background is nothing special, his life will not be bad in the future. After all, he knows martial arts, so how bad can it be? Even if it is worse, it is still better than these farmers who can only dig in the soil for food.
Of course, the most crucial thing is that Sun Datou favors boys over girls and doesn't care much about his eldest granddaughter.
It is like this these days. Male offspring are the most important. Not only can they carry on the family line, but they can also support the family and continuously expand the family.
In addition, it must be said that Sun Xiaohua, the eldest granddaughter of Sun Datou, is also the best woman in the entire Xiaohan Village.
Not to mention her height, she inherited her grandfather's talent for martial arts and was a real big-framed woman with big breasts, big hips, long legs, and a figure that was impeccable. At such a young age, she had already shown signs of improvement, not to mention that her appearance was also excellent.
Compared with Cui Ying, the little girl from the Cui family, Cui Ying may be three points sweeter, while Sun Xiaohua is three points more heroic. Neither is worse than the other.
With this thought in mind, Sun Datou took the initiative to say,
“If that’s the case, I think it’s feasible.
After all, A Zheng is a child of our Xiaohan Village. Although I have raised him over the years, I have not given him much care.
Now that Ah Zheng has learned martial arts, he has a promising future, so we should show some attitude, right?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Shitou continued,
"That's right, that's right. Anyway, there are plenty of places in the village. If anyone really wants a house, they can build one themselves. Li Quezi will lend this place to A Zheng temporarily. In the future, if he has enough money, he can pay the village and buy it. The price is not expensive. Just show your appreciation."
Zhang Shitou was known for his cunning and slyness. Others could see that Li Zheng was no longer the same person he used to be, and he certainly understood this better than anyone else.
Moreover, he could also see that even if Li Zheng did not have the so-called family background, judging from his current attitude towards things and his extraordinary bearing, he would not be far away in the future.
Sometimes, you can tell at a glance whether someone has potential or not. There are people with inner talent, but they are too few.
Since the two leaders had said so, Han Dali naturally couldn't refute them, so he nodded and said,
"That's right. Now that the weather is getting colder, the thatched cottage has fallen into disrepair and is not suitable for Zheng to continue living there. It would be nice to move here.
How about this, the village will give you some living supplies as support for you, and you can't blame the village for not treating you well these years, it's just that the years are not good, each year is worse than the last, and the village is having a hard time too!"
Of course it’s difficult. If it’s not difficult, can these villagers become bandits and rob people?
However, it is sheer nonsense to say that life in Xiaohan Village is not good. Among the nearby villages, Xiaohan Village is the richest.
Meng Zhao was already satisfied with the benefits he had received and would not continue to seek compensation. He said,
“That’s natural. Besides, I don’t have any land in the village, and if I keep begging for food from everyone, it would really be annoying.
So, I want to try to go up the mountain to hunt, which is always a way out. I hope the village chief can help me!"
Meng Zhao's request may seem rude, but in fact, it is also in line with the rules.
Xiaohan Mountain is indeed not owned by one person. Everyone can go up the mountain to hunt freely to supplement their family income.
However, sometimes, going up the mountain to hunt is like walking on the line between life and death, which is definitely not a good thing.
In particular, many times, some wild beasts would come down from the mountains, posing a threat to the safety of the village.
Therefore, many villages, including Xiaohan Village, still have strict control over hunting qualifications.
Of course Meng Zhao didn't have this qualification in the past.
But what he did today, as well as his knowledge of martial arts, made Meng Zhao qualified. Besides, what he said was not without reason.
Meng Zhao was not productive, had no land, and no income, so he could only beg for food from the villagers.
When he was a child, it would have been fine if he had no ability to survive, but now at the age of fourteen or fifteen, he is not small at all and is as tall as an adult.
It is indeed unacceptable to continue eating at various restaurants.
Han Dali then took advantage of the situation and said,
"That's easy. I'll give you a hunting license. In addition, the village will give you a bow and twenty arrows. When you kill prey, you can return it at a fair price. It won't count against your time limit!"
One thing after another, everyone inside and outside the house was envious.
Everyone was thinking in their hearts that this time Li Zheng was lucky enough to win.
Not only did he learn martial arts and own a farmhouse, he also got a hunting license and a bow and arrow. He became well-off overnight!
Wen San's eyelids twitched more than once. He knew very well that Li Zhengyao was still the same arrogant person as before. It was good enough that Han Dali and others did not drive him away. How could they give him so many benefits?
Isn’t it because Li Zheng has practiced martial arts and may have an extraordinary background, so people started betting and investing?
At first glance, it can be seen that Han Dali, Zhang Shitou and Sun Datou all have a friendly attitude towards Li Zheng!
Of course, envy cannot be earned. Instead, Wen San has a clearer understanding of his own situation. It is not as precarious as it could be, but it is not far from it.
You must leave, and you must leave immediately, without any delay.
The girl Cui Ying was called over as a witness. She was very worried, but she was also very happy to see that Meng Zhao not only escaped from danger but also gained various benefits.
In addition, the little girl was just beginning to fall in love. Looking at Meng Zhao's handsome face, upright figure, and extraordinary bearing, everything in front of her eyes became blurry and she began to feel dizzy.
In the past, she only had pity and kindness towards Li Zheng. Even if she had feelings for him, it was just the friendship of childhood sweethearts.
Now, it was Meng Zhao's soul that was attractive. The girl couldn't resist it and began to fall in love.
Another person who was very happy about Meng Zhao's situation was San Gouzi.
As long as they can get through the hurdle of killing Li Quezi, the wealth they will get from Li Quezi will actually be quite considerable.
Now that Meng Zhao has so many benefits, will he not take care of San Gouzi in the future?
San Gouzi thought that he was A Zheng's die-hard supporter, and if A Zheng killed someone in the future, he would hand him the knife, so he could always get a position as A Zheng's confidant.
Yes, this kid is smart and has started to think about how to tie himself together with Meng Zhao.
The whole morning passed in this noisy manner.
The villagers helped to collect Li Cuzi and buried him in a remote place so that he could rest in peace.
As for funerals and banquets, that's just wishful thinking.
Gao Daxian also began to make his presence felt at this time, and began to assign the villagers to follow various customs and habits, in order to give the villagers peace of mind.
Although Li Guizi died an unnatural death, after Gao Daxian's operation, all the evil spirits were eliminated and there would be no problem at all.
When everything was done, Li Zheng took San Gouzi and moved all his household items from the thatched hut to Li Quezi's house.
When there was no one around, San Gouzi started to get a little worried.
"Ah Zheng, we two killed Li Kuizi. Now you are moving into his house. Would it be bad? What if, what if, he turns into a ghost and comes to seek revenge on you? What will you do then?"
Even in modern society, there are many people who believe in ghosts, let alone a village boy in such a feudal era?
Meng Zhao was not afraid at all.
"What are you afraid of? When he's alive, I can kill him. When he's dead, he can't even think of turning over. Find me once, and I'll kill him again!"
Meng Zhao was not really bragging. If ghosts really existed, it meant that supernatural powers did exist.
By then, Meng Zhao might have a chance to rebuild Shenzhou martial arts. With his realm and cultivation, killing a mere ghost would be a piece of cake and wouldn't take much effort.
In addition, Meng Zhao is deliberately establishing the character of a ruthless person.
After all, he is no longer the omnipotent Bei Meng Dragon King who had achieved ultimate cultivation. Everything has to start from the heart, and he may never be able to reach the peak strength of his previous life.
Of course, we have to start from other aspects, such as winning over some people to use for our own purposes.
He does not have the background of the Nan'an Meng family now, nor does he have the ability to show off his domineering aura and make others bow down to him.
You can only improve your prestige from the subtleties.
According to Meng Zhao's ability to judge people, San Gouzi is actually a pretty good person. He is an average talent, not the best, but definitely not bad.
In fact, after meeting these people today, Meng Zhao discovered that Xiaohan Village was a place of outstanding people and beautiful scenery.
It seems that there are quite a few talented, capable, and even outstanding people.
Take Wen San for example. Meng Zhao also discovered through memory comparison and today's contact that this guy is also a capable person.
If we give him a chance, he will definitely stir up some storms.
It is said that heroes start from humble beginnings. Wen San is not a hero, but according to Meng Zhao's ability to judge people, he is a rebellious person who will never submit to others.
This is a bit strange.
Including the body of Li Zheng that Meng Zhao possessed, in his eyes, it was also top-notch material for martial arts training, and was much stronger than Wen San.
All these things made him feel confused.
Is it only Xiaohan Village that has such outstanding people and beautiful scenery, or is it the same for the entire Tianyuan Kingdom?
For some reason, Meng Zhao always felt that he seemed to have overlooked something, but he couldn't remember it.
What on earth have I forgotten?
He seemed to remember his martial arts and his past, but he seemed to have forgotten how he came to this strange world.
It seemed that an invisible force had erased Meng Zhao's memory of this period without him noticing.
A very important memory.
San Gouzi didn't know the entanglement and contradiction in Meng Zhao's heart, and said,
"That's fine too. Gao Daxian has already taken care of it, so there shouldn't be any problem.
By the way, what should we do about Wen San?" (End of this chapter)
