Fang Youwei continued: "Yes, according to Xiaoling, apart from this place, there is no other place in Huayang County suitable for so many people to settle down at the same time. We can't spread out the settlements, and it won't be easy to take care of them when the time comes."

The elders in the clan also echoed: "Yes, the Fang family cannot be separated. People's hearts will easily disperse if they are separated. It is better to stay together, and the relationship will be deeper."

The young people also agreed.

"What are you afraid of when there are snakes? Only the women at home are afraid of snakes. We had a lot of snakes on the mountain back then, but there are not as many venomous snakes as here."

"Brother Youwei often goes to the mountains, so we don't encounter him often. Since everyone will also go to the mountains to hunt in the future, these are inevitable."

"Why don't we all learn the secret formula to drive away snakes seriously? Xiaoling is a spiritual bird and is favored by the gods."

"That's it, haven't you noticed that we haven't been rained on or fallen ill along the way?"

"Yes, yes, I have never encountered any life-threatening danger. It seems that after meeting Liuliu and Xiaoling, everything becomes smoother and smoother."

"That's right, that's right!"

The women nearby also heard this. Although they were afraid of snakes, men still had the final say in major matters, and they had no right to express their opinions.

And indeed, since we have decided to settle in the south, snakes, insects, rats and ants are inevitable. What can we do if we cannot overcome them?

But if they also learn that formula, they shouldn't be afraid anymore. As long as the snake doesn't bite them, they can just drive it away when they see it from a distance.

Or you can recite the mantra as soon as you go up the mountain and drive away the snake before you see it.

I just don’t know if I can learn it? After all, most women here are illiterate.

Fang Yunping looked at Xiao Ling and confirmed again: "Did the gods really ask you to teach us this formula? If the gods don't agree, we won't dare to learn it."

Xiaoling nodded his bird head vigorously, "The gods told me, this is what I want to teach you. It doesn't matter if you teach it to others. This is the oral method to drive away snakes, and it has no other function."

Fang Ping felt relieved.

Everyone also sincerely thanked the gods in their hearts.

Jiayin listened to the sweet sound of tinkling bells and showed a big smile in surprise.

I didn’t expect there was an unexpected surprise! Hey hey hey

After that, Fang Yunping took Fang Youwei and seven or eight others into the county seat and went straight to the county government office.

When they arrived near the county government office, Fang Yunping took Fang Youwei and Fang Youzhi to see the county magistrate. The other few could stroll around the county town or wait for them here. After all, it was difficult to get too many people in.

The three of them did not go to the main entrance of the county government office, where people with official duties or complaints could enter. Instead, they went to the back door.

Generally, county magistrates live behind the county government office.

Since they have the governor's personal letter, there is no need to go through the formal procedures.

If you run to the front, you may not be able to see the county magistrate. You can only go to the official in charge to register. There will be no special care at that time.

When I arrived at the back door of the county government office, I reached out and knocked, and soon a boy in gray clothes came out.

The boy looked at them curiously and asked, "Who are you? What's wrong?"

They cupped their fists and saluted the young man and said, "We are from Fangjia Village and want to see the county magistrate. This is a letter written by the Nanyue County Sheriff and should be handed over to the county magistrate."

The reason why I say this is that I am afraid that the young man will see them as ordinary people and not inform them, or that the county magistrate will not see them.

As soon as he heard that there was a personal letter from the Sheriff, the boy immediately respectfully asked them to wait, and then immediately ran to the backyard.

Although my lord is from a famous family, he is just a side branch. Besides, with his current official position, he must give face to the county governor.

This boy was brought out of his family by the county magistrate, otherwise he wouldn't be able to stay at such an important place as the back gate of the government office, which is the easiest place to offend people.

The young man also knew the importance of the matter and quickly found the county magistrate.

The county magistrate had already finished his breakfast and was getting ready to go to the front office.

He happened to be stopped by the boy. Hearing the boy's message, he immediately returned to the main hall of the back office and asked the boy to invite the three people in.

The boy quickly ran to the back door and respectfully invited the three people in. Not to mention the identities of these three people, since they could get a personal letter from the county governor, they were not ordinary people.

Fang Yunping and the other three followed the servants to the main hall of the back office where guests were entertained.

"Sir, I've brought you here." The young man saluted to the door.

"Well, please come in, please step out." A clear voice came.

"Yes." The boy bowed again.

"Please." He made a gesture of invitation to the three of them.

The three of them bowed in return and stepped into the main hall.

I saw a middle-aged man wearing official uniform sitting at the head.

The man is in his thirties and has a handsome appearance unique to southerners.

Unlike the northerners, who are tall and strong and have rough skin.

People here in the south either have fair skin, or their skin is not white but is very delicate. Maybe it has something to do with the water here.

The county magistrate also looked at the three of them. They were all very tall, probably over eight feet tall. In the middle was an old man, with a respectful but not flattering look on his face. He could tell at a glance that he was the one who often gave orders and should be the leader of the clan.

long.

Of the two at the back, one has a shrewd face, the other is mature and steady, with a strong body. At first glance, he looks like a martial arts practitioner.

The three people came forward, knelt on the ground, kowtowed, and said in unison: "The common people pay homage to the county magistrate."

Huayang County Magistrate looked at the three of them and said warmly: "You three don't need to be polite, please get up quickly."

After the three of them got up, they asked: "I heard from the boy at home that a few of them brought an autographed letter from the governor. Is this true?"

Fang Yunping quickly took out the letter from his arms and handed it over with both hands.

Then he briefly talked about the situation of himself and others. Finally, he said: "We are all members of the same clan. We all gathered in a village before, a total of about a hundred people."

The Huayang County Magistrate nodded upon hearing this, expressing his understanding.

I know that they still want to be classified as one village and don't want to be separated.

This is normal. People of the same clan like to gather together and take care of each other. Unless they are forced to disperse, such as being named on the gold medal, or getting an official position, they will branch off. However, they will also go back to the clan from time to time to worship their ancestors.

Although he has never met the entire Fang family, he knows from the conversation of the leader of the clan and the respectful but not humble attitude of these two clan members that the Fang family is not that simple. There have been high-ranking officials in their ancestors.

, just have some confidence.

The county magistrate had something to think about, so he opened the governor's autographed letter in front of them and read it carefully.

What the letter said was basically the same as what they said. He would definitely help with such a small matter.

Moreover, the letter mentioned that these people protected the governor's son on the way. Although it was briefly mentioned, there was a lot of information in it.
