Linlang stopped and said to Wang Lan beside him, "Shall we go back?"

"Ah?" Wang Lan didn't react, "Why should we go back? Aren't we going to find the village chief?"

Linlang sneered, "We don't need to look for him at all, he will come back on his own!"

Wang Lan was a little confused, but she still followed Linlang back, "I don't understand, why do you want to go back suddenly?"

Linlang sighed and explained: "Didn't you just say that we were very low-key and no one would find out what we were doing, but why was it discovered by others? I only told one person about the earthquake.

That is the village chief. If what we did in the county is not exposed, the only possibility is that the village chief told others, so the village chief is a traitor!"

Wang Lan suddenly realized, "Oh my god, but I think the village chief looks like a good person. How...how could he do such a whistle-blowing thing?"

"Who knows?" Linlang said lightly: "You know people, but not their hearts!"

On the way back, Wang Lan couldn't help but ask: "Then what are you going to do after you go back? Are you going to expose this matter?"

"You are an adult, why are you so naive? If I reveal the matter, will it benefit both of us? No, the village chief is still the head of a village, and we are still little Taoist priests on the mountain. If we want to be in this place

If you want to survive, you must rely on the village chief, so you can't quarrel with him, but since he knows that the village chief is an informer, he should be more careful in the future!" Linlang said with caution.

Back on the mountain, the Li family was very, very surprised, "Why are you back so soon?"

Linlang explained: "I originally wanted to go to the town to find the village chief, but then I thought about it and let it go. The village chief will come back by himself. If I go there again, it will be inconvenient for me to come and go!"

"Oh!" Lady Li didn't think much about it. He rubbed his hands and said with an embarrassed look on his face: "Taoist Master, thank you very much for what happened today, but...my daughter and I are really embarrassed to live here all the time.

After all...we eat the Taoist priest and live in the Taoist priest's house..."

Linlang shook her head, "Don't worry, I know you feel sorry for yourself, but you are in a difficult situation right now, and you simply can't afford to move out. You can just stay here for now. When spring comes, you will have some money in your hands, and you can't move out anymore."

Not too late!

As for repaying something, there is no need. I am a poor Taoist who loves charity. Since I have saved you, I will send Buddha to the West, so you must not let me give up halfway, otherwise it will ruin my Taoism!"

Hearing this, the Li family's wife was even more embarrassed to say that she was moving out. Linlang took some of the things that the prince gave her today and gave them to the Li family's wife, saying: "I am a layman, and I really don't need these things.

, so I’ll give it to you!”

The wife of the Li family took two steps back and said, "Taoist Master, this can't be done. These things are so precious and we can't afford them. Taoist Master, you should keep them for yourself!"

Linlang turned around and put the things in Wang Lan's hands, and said in an admonishing tone: "You can keep these things for yourself, or you can sell them!"

Wang Lan hesitated for a moment, but then put the things away, "Thank you so much!"

The Li family's wife blushed and said, "Lan Lan, please return the things to the Taoist priest quickly. We already owe the Taoist priest so much and we really can't accept any more things from the Taoist priest!"

Linlang waved her hand, "Ms. Li family, we don't have to push it around. I naturally gave it to you because I really wanted to give it to you, so just accept it!"

Seeing that she couldn't push it away, Mrs. Li could only keep the things, but she was very frightened. After all, she felt sorry for accepting other people's things for no reason.

I went down the mountain on the second day, exchanged all those things for money, and bought a lot more things.

When the first snow fell, Linlang never went down the mountain again, nor did he see the village chief. Although he comforted himself that it might not be the village chief's intention to tell others, he really didn't want to see the village chief.

The village chief didn't find Linlang either, but according to what he learned, the village chief seemed to have punished the Li family.

Linlang lived a leisurely life in the mountains. After all, they had a lot of money this year. They bought a lot of food and put it in the mountains. The house was neatly repaired, so they didn't feel the coldness of the cold at all.

"Taoist!" The village chief stood at the door and hesitated for a moment but still walked in, "This..."

Linlang sighed inwardly, raised her head and glanced at the village chief, then managed to cheer up and said, "It's so cold, why did the village chief go up the mountain?"

The village chief lowered his head, "I was afraid that the Taoist priest would encounter some wild animals while living alone on the mountain, so I went to the mountain to have a look. Now that I see that the Taoist priest is safe and sound, I feel relieved!"

Linlang followed and said: "Thank you village chief for your concern, but it's snowing outside now. Village chief, please don't go back to warm up with us. It's not too late to go back when the snow stops!"

When the village chief heard this, he quickly smiled and said, "Okay, okay!"

Sitting next to the fire, the village chief hesitated for a while, and then said: "I joined the army when I was young, and then I went home temporarily, taking over my father's position and becoming a village chief...

…Some time ago, I discovered that some of my former colleagues were among the soldiers providing disaster relief, so I got in touch with them. By the way,

I mentioned the earthquake to them... I didn't want to do this... Last time I heard the lady of the Li family say that the chief had disappeared. I was really scared because something happened to the chief and I went to the town to look for him.

My colleague, he said that the president had nothing to do, and he was appreciated by the noble..."

Linlang didn't know whether he was angry or uncomfortable when he heard this. He lowered his eyes and sighed, "Actually, I prefer to live like an ordinary person!"

The village chief didn't know what to say. After the snow stopped, the village chief hesitated for a moment and finally said what was in his heart, "Taoist Master, I really respect you very much. Telling others is not what I want."

, I’m really sorry. If anything happens to you in the future, you can come to me down the mountain..."

Linlang was also relieved. Forget it, in fact, this matter was a good thing for him. If the prince succeeded in fighting for the throne, then he would register an account in front of him. If he was lucky, it would mean that he could still get it.

Since I have the title of Imperial Master, I have to think for the best in everything, and there is no need to worry about trivial matters!

"It sounds like I really have something to trouble the village chief. After the New Year, the Li family will move back with their children, but they don't have a house, so I hope the village chief can help find out which family doesn't want a house.

I can sell it to them. Of course, I hope that house can be farther away from the Li family. After all, I don’t want them to be harassed by the Li family anymore!”

The village chief's eyes lit up, "This matter is all mine. To be honest, I'm also very angry. I thought your family had settled down, but I didn't expect them to dare to trouble the Li family's wife after I left."

, But don’t worry, Taoist Master, when I learned about this, I already taught them a lesson, and I guess they will never dare to do it again!"

Linlang looked at the quiet lady of the Li family and continued: "Both mother and daughter are pitiful people. If one day... the village chief, I mean maybe one day I disappear again, or I go somewhere, and I am still alive."

I hope the village chief will take good care of them for me..."
