Chapter 726: The village chief's invitation, confession

"Xiao Xue."

Ye Chen smiled lightly and piled up the firewood behind him.

Although this pile of firewood is not too much, it is definitely a lot. If other strong men in the village were to chop it, it would probably take at least a day to finish it.

Adding these together, Ye Chen only took an hour. This was the result of Ye Chen thinking while chopping firewood. If he went all out, he would probably have to go faster.

In a farmhouse not far away, a man couldn't help but swallowed when he looked at the firewood behind Ye Chen, especially looking at Ye Chen's muscles that didn't look strong and his thin arms. It's not even half as thick as myself, and I don't know what kind of energy is contained in that small body to be able to complete such a big job.

Xiaoxue just ran in and looked at the firewood behind Ye Chen. She was not surprised. After all, the two of them had been getting along for a while. Xiaoxue also had an understanding of Ye Chen's abilities. However, I still felt a little surprised after all. He took a slight breath and sighed: "Brother Ye, with your skills, I'm afraid the blacksmith Wang in the village will lament his incompetence. You are driving them to a dead end." ah!"

Seeing Xiaoxue pretending to be mature, Ye Chen also reached out and touched her black hair. He also rubbed a small piece of black charcoal on her face and said with a smile: "You girl, village chief Have you completed the task assigned to you? Are you free to come here and laugh at me? "

Xiaoxue pouted her mouth and wiped the gray stains on her face with her small hands in dissatisfaction. She said a little aggrievedly: "That's what grandpa asked me to come. He asked me to tell you that if you come over when you finish your work, he I have something to tell you."

Ye Chen's originally smiling face gradually faded away, returning to its previous coldness, and his expression was not exactly relaxed and indifferent.

Xiaoxue was obviously a little surprised. Why did Ye Chen show such an expression? She thought it was Ye Chen who was worried that the village chief would give him more tasks, so he smiled and said, "Brother Ye, don't worry anymore. Grandpa knows you too." You are still a wounded person, so it is impossible to add so much work to you. Although you are the fastest worker in our village, grandpa does not treat you like a cow. "

"Ah, then I'll go over first, and I'll leave the remaining firewood to Xiaoxue!" Ye Chen put away his gloomy face and casually handed the ax in Xiaoxue's hand without caring. Looking at him with eyes that almost made him cry, he walked out.

Xiaoxue looked at the back of Ye Chen who was leaving, and then at the many firewood behind her that had not yet been approved. She immediately stamped her feet and whispered: "Brother Ye, you are such a bad guy!"

Ye Chen walked slowly in the fields. Although the village chief did not say exactly where they met, Ye Chen could guess a lot.

It's not that they don't have the opportunity to meet alone on weekdays, but the village chief has never taken the initiative to find him like this, or even talk to him about things. Usually he just asks how his injury is recovering and if he feels anything strange. .

He wasn't even curious about his own appearance and how he was injured.

You must know that the injuries he suffered are not usually visible, so the village chief never asked Ye Chen, and he tacitly agreed not to answer. Ye Chen originally thought that things would continue like this, but it seems that it is not the case now. That’s it.

"What is supposed to come will come eventually." Ye Chen smiled bitterly.

Pushing open the door of the village ancestral hall, Ye Chen slowly patted the dust on his body and walked in with light steps, as if he was very careful not to make any noise.

The ancestral hall of this village displays the memorial tablets of the deceased elders in the village. Although Ye Chen did not know them, he still gave them enough respect. Ye Chen still had feelings for this small village that saved his life. Not a small favor.

Moreover, the people in this village are not as sinister and cunning as those in the cultivators. Instead, they are easy-going, which makes Ye Chen feel particularly friendly. There is no so-called intrigue here. Everyone lives in harmony, just like a family. Just like people, although they are not without contradictions, they will never reach the point where it was either you die or I live.

Therefore, Ye Chen also deliberately did not want to be disturbed here, and he also tried his best to suppress his influence, even making himself stay in the house often and not go out.

But Ye Chen didn't care so much at this time. Since the village chief made an appointment with him, he could almost conclude that it was here.

Because during the previous treatment, the village chief had mentioned the location of the ancestral hall to him more than once, as if he was deliberately leading him to go here.

At this time, Ye Chen stepped in gently and looked at the dim floor inside the ancestral hall. The village chief was kneeling on the futon. However, he no longer looked like the respected elder he had been before. Instead, he was holding a gourd in his hand. After drinking wine, he looked at the tablet with a faint blur in his eyes for a long time.

"Village Chief, I heard that you have something to do with me?"

The village chief slowly stood up, looked at Ye Chen behind him, and casually pointed to a futon beside him and said, "Sit down."

This was Ye Chen's first time using a futon as a stool, but since the village chief didn't mind anything, he didn't have any objections.

"What do you want from me?" Ye Chen didn't have the intention to speak decisively, but asked indirectly.

Who knew that the village chief raised his head high, drank the wine in the gourd, and then took out a small box from his arms.

This strange action attracted Ye Chen's attention, and when the village chief opened the box, a strong fragrance of elixir instantly filled the entire ancestral hall. There were actually more than a dozen low-level elixirs in the box.

The village chief took out one of them and put it in his mouth. In just a moment, the village chief's blurred eyes completely dissipated, and even the smell of alcohol in the air disappeared.

"Can you see what I just ate?" The village chief smiled and said, "Now do you know why I called you here?"

Ye Chen also slowly restrained his smile and asked, "If you have any questions, just ask. Since you are my savior, I will definitely tell you everything I know."

The village chief seemed a little stunned by Ye Chen's attitude, but he smiled and said, "In the current cultivator world, you are still a kind of person with conscience."
