Chapter 1055 Confrontation
If you want to be serious, the village chief of Lusi'e Village really didn't mean to say that he didn't know Jiguan. The real situation is that the village chief does not know the young man in his own village in front of him!
The village chief does have the gift of recognizing people. He can remember any villager who has shown his face in front of him, said his name and exchanged a few words with him! However, this has a prerequisite. You must have said your name and shown your face in front of the village chief! Jiguan, to be honest, the village chief asked after thinking about it for a long time and found that he still couldn't remember his name.
"Ahem!" The village chief saw Jiguan staring at him in disbelief. He felt a little embarrassed for a moment, and then said: "The young man doesn't usually participate in village gatherings? Hunting? Aren't you with everyone? I look at you, you seem a bit unfamiliar, you haven't spoken to the village chief yet, right? Are you an adult? "If he is an adult, during the coming-of-age ceremony, he, the village chief, will definitely say a few words to every adult child, ask their names, and remember who is who.< br>
"Yes, Mr. Village Chief! I'm still a few months away from adulthood!" Jiguan heard the village chief's words, and then he replied in a daze and reacted. If you think about it carefully, the village chief seems to have only seen him from a distance in his impression. When his parents were still alive, he didn't go out much. Later, when his parents were gone, he did. I followed a few relatives here and there and went hunting. But later, because he disliked hunting and other things, and offended his relatives, he ended up living alone.
Later, he never participated in any large-scale hunting activities in the village, so it was naturally impossible for him to come into contact with the village chief. Thinking about it this way, if it hadn't been for this opportunity, it would have taken him a few more years to show up in front of the village chief. His coming-of-age ceremony will be held in a month’s time
Thinking of this, Jiguan quickly cheered up. He wanted to look good in front of the village chief and leave a good impression, so he quickly said respectfully: "It's Jiguan's fault! Jiguan rarely participates in groups. activities, and I have no chance to speak in front of you, the village chief. We talked before, so the village chief is not familiar with cockscombs."
"Yeah, I'll just say it! The village chief is not so old that he can't even remember the appearance and names of the children in his own village. Hahaha!" Upon hearing what Jiguan said, the village chief hurriedly He laughed hard twice, then patted Ji Guan on the shoulder and said to him: "When you come to adulthood, the village chief will definitely give you a good blessing!"
"Thank you village. "Grow up." When Jiguan heard this, he became a little excited. Sure enough, there are benefits to showing up in front of the village chief! If he can get special care and blessing from the village chief at the coming-of-age ceremony, will he be so unknown in the village in the future? It will be easier to get married in the future, right? Not necessarily. The village chief can also introduce girls from his relatives to him as his wife.
Ji Guan was so wonderfully imagining his future in his heart that he didn't pay attention at all. The old man Qingya who was standing next to him was already rolling his eyes at him with disdain.
"Okay, okay, Jiguan, now let's explain clearly what you just said!" The village chief probably also noticed that Jiguan was distracted, so he quickly brought his thoughts back and said to him: "We Lu The Si'er village is not unprincipled. That’s right, the distinguished guests are here too. If we have anything to say, we can explain it clearly in person to avoid trouble!” , quickly stretched out his finger and pointed at Qing Old Man Mi and Ji Xiaoyan then turned to the other villagers and continued: "I guess everyone doesn't know this! These few people in front of me were all in despair a few days ago, and they stayed at my house."< br>
“Ah! Impossible Let’s go!”
“Down and out?”
“No wonder Jiguan can say such things. He has known those distinguished guests a long time ago, but why didn’t he report it to the village chief? ?”
"Yes, why didn't he report to the village chief that there was a stranger in the village?"
Many villagers immediately started talking.
When the village chief heard this, his expression suddenly turned bad! As the village chief, what he needs is to keep abreast of the situation in the village in case of emergencies, right? The result? The boy named Jiguan in front of him actually dared to take in a stranger for several days without reporting it! This guy doesn't seem to be thinking well! !
Jiguan couldn't hear the villagers' discussions at the moment, nor did he pay attention to the face of the village chief. He said smugly: "Huh, you don't know what they were like when they first came here. Looks like this! It is said that this elder of Qingshimen is just like a beggar, no, worse than a beggar, sitting in front of my house. Please help me. As for them, Lord City Lord, aren't they squatting in a pile of rocks, enduring the cold wind, and making a living by grilling meat? They are a group of liars who made up lies to get benefits in our village."
"Is everything you said true?" The village chief's face looked a little bad at this moment.
"Of course it's true! Village chief, you have to believe me. I've been with them for several days. One of them said they were the elders of Qingshimen, and the other said they were the city lord, but they have no skills at all! So what? Maybe! It just means that they are all liars." Cockcomb raised his chin and stared at the village chief as if you must believe me, everything I say is true. "Well, I can prove this!" Old man Qingya spoke now, and said to the village chief with a smile: "What this chicken comb said is true. When we first arrived here, we were not familiar with the place. , speaking of which it was really embarrassing! Come on, if we hadn’t discovered his home, we really wouldn’t have known that you Lusi’e people live here”
“So, you really lived in Jiguan’s house for a few days. ?" The village chief looked at the old man Qingya and asked.
"Well, I helped him with the work for a few days," the old man Qingya said with a smile, then he looked at the cockcomb and said to him with his eyes: Boy, you will be able to bear it in a while. Didn't you hear what the villagers said? Didn't you see the face of the village chief? You secretly hid it from us for your own benefit, and the village chief can't help but pursue it
"Working?" Sure enough, the village chief frowned immediately when he heard this.
"Yes! Mr. Village Chief, do you still remember how we met?" Old man Qingya looked at Jiguan as if he had realized what he had said. After his face began to turn pale, he continued to smile: "To be honest, we just arrived When we came here, we were really blind and didn’t know anything! Mr. Village Chief, you may not know that we are here. , in fact, we are going to Xuanmen. We still have some friendship with the head of Xuanmen. This time we came here to visit our old friends. Who knows, but something went wrong when we walked through the teleportation array, and then we arrived. Here."
"Are you here by teleportation array?" Upon hearing what Old Man Qingya said, the village chief's eyes instantly lit up. You know, the reason why the Lusi'e villagers have always lived here is that the biggest problem besides poverty is inconvenient access. If they usually want to go out to the outside world, they have to go to Xuanmen to ask someone to open a teleportation array, and then they can leave! Otherwise, they would have left this ghost place long ago!
Are those people in Xuanmen easy to get along with? Just dream! If their ancestors of the Lusi'e tribe hadn't been so kind to Xuanmen, and Xuanmen promised to open teleportation arrays for them several times every year, it is estimated that the people of the Lusi'e tribe would have been trapped here for the rest of their lives. Below the cliff.
"Of course!" Old Man Qingya nodded and said, "Otherwise, Mr. Village Chief, how do you think we got in here? Jumping off the cliff?"
Village Chief The adult nodded silently in his heart! Not to mention, the outsiders they had seen before were all those who fell off the cliff. However, thinking so in their hearts, the village chief showed no expression on his face.
Old Man Qingya pulled the Thunder Kitten and put it in front of the village chief, and immediately said: "This... Speaking of which, he is still an outer disciple of Xuanmen! The reason why we are here is because of his paintings. The formation sent us here, and we also plan to let him come back to the master this time to take a look."
"Ah, this young man is still a disciple of Xuanmen?" Village! The adults and many villagers looked at Old Man Qingya with even more admiration and ardor. Xuanmen is a very noble existence to the people of the Lusi'e tribe. The man in front of me is still a disciple of Xuanmen. The most important thing is that he can also draw teleportation arrays!
This is much more shocking to the villagers than the identity of the elder and city lord of Qingshimen.
"Village Chief, don't listen to their nonsense! They are all liars!" Jiguan heard this and quickly retorted: "When they came, they were covered in blood, weeds and dirt. The person who fell from the cliff was not someone who came from the teleportation array! Mr. Village Chief, I saw it with my own eyes. You have to believe me!"
"There is no way! The house of the Si'er tribe will be built on a cliff!" Old man Qingmi shrugged and smiled at the village chief: "Speaking of which, we were really embarrassed at that time! We only knew that there was a house on the cliff, so I wanted to ask you for help. , we couldn’t use it even if we caught the three-winged and four-legged bird, so in the end we had to climb up the cliff with both hands to ask for help! Haha, speaking of it, I was really exhausted at that time.”
"That cliff is indeed not easy to climb." The village chief smiled dryly and said to the old man Qingya. Then he looked at the cockcomb, and he couldn't tell what he meant in his eyes!
