The elder's home is at the east end of the market, not far from the market. After receiving the invitation, Pei Changhao rode over there.

In just two days, Pei Changhao's popularity has greatly improved. The elderly, weak, women and children in the village know about it. Some people also talked about it at the market that a young man from another country, whose parents passed away one after another, was able to lead the villagers to resist and wipe out the bandits, and went to the bandits alone to the bandits' nest. Such courage and courage are not something ordinary people have.

More discussions were concentrated on Pei Changhao's experience of going to the depths of the desert to meet the gods. Pei Changhao was a foreigner and had only been in Heluo Village for half a year. He was unfamiliar with the place. The two who accompanied him also passed away one after another. In this case, it was possible to go to the depths of the desert alone and get the mercy of God.

There are rumors of gods deep in the desert, and the entire Longyou Dao knows it.

The elderly’s residence is the best in the market. The main door is red and there are copper buckles on the door. All the houses in the house are blue bricks and black tiles. The entire mansion is divided into three courtyards, front, middle and back, which look very grand.

When Pei Changhao dismounted, the elder's housekeeper had already come up with a smile and ordered his servants to lead the Hequ horse to the stable.

Entering the gate, the butler took Pei Changhao and went directly to the wing room in the front yard.

The elders were waiting in the wing room.

After the butler handed over a cup of tea, he bowed and left, and gently brought it to the door of the wing room.

Looking at the butler bringing the door to the wing room, the elder smiled and spoke.

"Chang Hao, you are our great benefactor. If you hadn't led the villagers to kill the bandits, the Heluo Village and the Market Town would have been completely destroyed. I was still scared a few days ago. If the bandits succeeded, how should I face the villagers and the county government..."

Pei Changhao quickly clasped his fists and spoke.

"Sir, you and Li Zheng made arrangements. I just did it as required..."

The elder waved to Pei Changhao.

"Chang Hao, don't be polite. However, at the age of sixteen, you have such outstanding performance. You will definitely have a bright future in the future. If you have knowledge, you will always stay in the market towns and villages. I am afraid that it will delay you."

Pei Changhao looked up at the elder without answering.

The elder also looked at Pei Changhao and sighed slightly.

"It's a turbulent time now. A few days ago, I arrived at the county government office and heard the worries of the county magistrate, and I couldn't even eat."

"Chang Hao, just talking about this bandit attack, I can't understand. We are very poor here and there is no one paying attention to it on weekdays. How could the bandits come? It was still good thirty years ago, but when they encountered a sudden disaster, the market town and village were completely destroyed and they were in a slump. For so many years, the county government has exempted the land tax from the market town and village every now and then, and the villagers still have a rare meal."

"According to this place, no one will pay attention to it, but the county magistrate said that the Uighurs in the north of the desert have been restless recently and have been eyeing it. All the villages around the desert have been destroyed by the Uighur cavalry. The Jiedushi also warned the Uighurs, may the Uighur cavalry be ready to move again."

"Who knows if the bandits came to Heluo Village? Behind them is the shadow of the Uighur cavalry?"

Pei Changhao blinked, and he was confused and didn't understand the truth.

The elder did not pay attention to Pei Changhao's expression and was still talking.

"Chang Hao, in recent years, our Tang Dynasty court has been displaced. Most of the young and strong people in the village have been summoned to the army to wipe out the Huang Chao Rebellion Party. Seeing that the Huang Chao Rebellion Party was completely wiped out and the world was peaceful, could it be that the Uighur cavalry would cause chaos again?"

"According to your ability, if you enter the army, you will definitely be able to make achievements and achieve a good future."

Pei Changhao vaguely understood that he was a great god, the elders and Li Zheng could no longer tolerate it.

"A few years ago, the Huang Chao Rebellion Party was raging and the world was in chaos. The Jiedushi was invincible and led his troops to defeat the Huang Chao Rebellion Party and defend the court, so that we could settle down."

"I heard that the Jiedushi destroyed the Huang Chao Rebellion Party. The emperor wanted to let the Jiedushi stay in the capital to be a high-ranking official, but the Jiedushi was worried about Longyou Road and was worried about the Uighur cavalry's invasion. He refused the emperor's kindness, but he came back. In recent years, the Jiedushi has always led troops to wipe out the Huang Chao Rebellion Party. He did not care about the Uighur cavalry in the north, and the Uighur cavalry became restless."

Speaking of this, the elder sighed.

"The Uighurs' cavalry is very powerful, but they are comparable to the Jiedushi. If they annoy the Jiedushi, the Jiedushi will lead the troops to kill him and destroy him."

Speaking of this, the elders suddenly changed the topic.

"Chang Hao, you have been in the desert for more than ten days. Have you encountered something? Can you tell me?"

Pei Changhao thought a little, blinked his eyes, and spoke naturally.

"Sir, I really encountered something strange. I walked in the desert for three days and three nights, tired and hungry. Every night when I dreamed, I dreamed of my father and mother. Later, I couldn't hold on and fell into a coma."

The elder's expression became focused, and they all looked at Pei Changhao without blinking their eyes.

"Later, for some reason, I met an old man with white beard. The old man said I was too brave and dared to enter the desert with bare hands at a young age. I said I made a bet with others and dared to enter the desert with bare hands. I was not afraid of anything. The old man said I was ignorant and said he would send me home. I told the old man that he could walk back by himself."

Speaking of this, Pei Changhao stopped.

The elder was a little anxious and couldn't help asking.

"Chang Hao, what happened later? What did the old man tell you? Have you sent you back?"

Pei Changhao shook his head.

"I don't know what happened later. When I woke up, I was already lying in bed."

A disappointed look appeared on the elder's face.

Pei Changhao suddenly remembered something and watched the elder speak again.

"Sir, the old man once warned me that the secrets of heaven should not be revealed, and that all the words he said must not be spoken to others, so as not to cause unnecessary disasters."

The elder's face changed and he waved his hand at Pei Changhao.

"Chang Hao, what you said is right, the secret of heaven should not be revealed. What the old man said is right. Don't tell outsiders about such things."

After coughing a few times, the elder looked at Pei Changhao, thought for a moment before speaking.

"Chang Hao, there are a lot of things in this town and the village. I have discussed with Li Zheng. Do you have the ability and courage to help us do something..."

Before the elder could finish speaking, Pei Changhao waved his hands repeatedly.

"Sir, I can't do things well in the town and in the village."

The elder shook his head, looked at Pei Changhao, and spoke in the tone of an elder.

"Chang Hao, doing something in the village will be good for you. You are young and courageous, and we have high hopes for you."

Pei Changhao, who traveled through time, has a very realistic understanding of power. Power means wealth and status. No one is willing to hand over the power in his hands, and no one is willing to share power with others. If he naively thinks that the elders' words are true, it is too simple.

The elder said before that Pei Changhao had potential and could not tolerate it in the town or the village. He should join the army and make achievements to achieve a future. Later, he said that Pei Changhao would participate in the management of the town and the village. This inconsistent words can be understood by fools.

Pei Changhao didn't know how long he would have to stay in the village, but during this period of stay in the village, he would never offend the elders and Li Zheng, nor would he make them suspicious.

After making up his mind, Pei Changhao stood up and saluted.

"Sir, I am not from the village. By chance, I came to Heluo Village. I received the care of the elder and Li Zheng. I stayed in the village temporarily and finally left."

"I have always remembered the care that the elders and Lord Li Zheng have taken for me. The bandits attacked the market and village. I gritted my teeth and tried my best. I really didn't expect to protect the market and village."

"The two people who accompanied me to the village have passed away. After dealing with the follow-up matters, I will go home too."

The elder pretended to be calm and spoke.

"Chang Hao, what you said is wrong. After spending half a year in the village, it is the people of Heluo Village. It is appropriate to do something for the town and the village. You are a scholar, knowledgeable, visionary, and capable. There are many things in the village and the town. Heluo Village will be levied soon. As for the fact that the people are taking care of you with me, that is what we should do, and you don't have to take it to heart."

Pei Changhao shook his head again and spoke very simply.

"Sir, I really don't want to do things for the market and the village. Please forgive me."

The elder sighed and looked at Pei Changhao and spoke.

"Chang Hao, if you have such an idea, we don't have to force it. If you have any difficulties in the future, tell Li Zheng and me, we will definitely help you solve it."

"Okay, Chang Hao, I have said enough. You can decide for yourself. You are from Fengxiang Prefecture City and have a lot of knowledge. There is a prosperous place. There is no place that we can imagine. Let's go and eat. We have to drink well today. I have saved a jar of good wine here and we will finish it."

Before the elder could finish his words, sweat dripped from Pei Changhao's forehead, and fragments of thought deep in his memory began to jump. He tried hard to grasp these fragments of memory and to piece them together...

...

While drinking, Pei Changhao was very happy and casual, bowl after bowl, and even he was surprised.

The elder didn't care at all, and was also very interested. He personally poured wine for Pei Changhao and kept saying some praise words.
