Chapter 412 Village Chief, Your Dad is Here

It was indeed the blue-eyed girl in the sixth dream!

Someone who can tear steel plates with bare hands, smash a grizzly bear's head with one punch, and has crystal blue eyes...

There shouldn't be a second one.

just.

The blue-eyed girl in the seventh dream was dug out early, awakened from the hibernation cabin, and has lived in this world for more than ten years.

So she can no longer be called the blue-eyed girl, maybe she should be called the blue-eyed aunt.

Suddenly.

Lin Xian understood.

Smith the Big Thing and the blue-eyed girl were hibernating in the same underground base, so it was natural that they woke up at the same time.

"You and your village chief Yan should have woken up from the hibernation chamber together, right?"

Lin Xian confirmed with Smith.

Smith's eyes widened:
"How come you know everything?"

"Yes, I woke up from the hibernation capsule about twelve years ago. At that time, most of the hibernation capsules in the underground hibernation base where I was located were broken, and the people inside had all died. Only a dozen were still in good working order, including me and Village Chief Yan Qiaoqiao."

"It was the people of Lian Village who dug us out. The village chief at that time was Chen Heping. He took good care of us hibernators, so after we got familiar with the life of that era, we settled down in Lian Village."

"Later, village chief Chen Heping passed away, and everyone recommended Yan Qiaoqiao as the new village chief. Because she was smart and capable, and she usually contributed a lot to the village, everyone respected her very much, including village chief Chen Heping's son, who also fully recommended Yan Qiaoqiao, so...she became the new village chief."

It turned out to be the case.

Lin Xian nodded.

Okay, now the intelligence matches.

Face Village still exists, and cat father Chen Heping still died of illness, which is exactly the same as before. The only difference is that the next village chief of Face Village did not let Big Face Cat succeed him, but gave it to the highly respected Yan Qiaoqiao.

In fact, after Smith said the anti-counterfeiting word "Shift!" in the rice field, Lin Xian immediately guessed... This must have been learned by Smith from Big-Faced Cat, and the two of them probably lived in the same village.

When talking about the village chief and the village, Smith felt a strong sense of belonging and identity, and his face was full of pride:

"Hahaha, speaking of this, you must not know why our village is called Face Village!"

"I know."

Lin Xian said calmly as he walked:

"Because Chen Heping's son is called Big Face Cat."

Smith coughed twice:
"Then, then, then... then you must not know why the Big Face Cat is called the Big Face Cat!"

"I know too."

Lin Xian snorted softly:
"Because when he was born, all the chickens, ducks, cows, sheep, pigs, and even the big yellow dog in the village were whispering his name... Is that the setting?"

"I'll wipe it!"

Smith jumped up directly:

"Who are you? How do you know everything about our village?"

"I'm just a passerby."

Lin Xian said perfunctorily.

“Eh——”

Smith looked at Lin Xian with distrust:

"You sound very funny when you talk like that."

"..."

Lin Xian stopped.

Turn your head.

Looking up and down at this strange creature who is obviously a white man but speaks with a variety of accents from all over Dragon Country:

"Lian Village is really a place of outstanding people and beautiful scenery."

Lin Xian sighed:
"How come there are people from all over the country? Who did you learn these messy dialects from?"

“With the people in the village!”

Smith said as a matter of course:

"Everyone's way of speaking is weird. I didn't know how to speak Longguo at first, so I learned from everyone else. Look... isn't it pretty good now? I speak it, right?"

"You speak very well. You even learned the Shandong inversion."

Lin Xian smiled helplessly:

“But I learned too much.”

Talking and laughing.

The two of them had already entered the sphere of influence of Lian Village, and Smith took Lin Xian towards home.

As a result, I met an acquaintance at a corner.

"Brother Shi, you're back."

The second pillar takes a step back:
"Why are you back so late today? Your sister-in-law has been waiting for you for dinner for a long time."

"Haha, isn't this a brother I met halfway?"

Smith turned around, pointed at Lin Xian and introduced:
"This is my big brother whom I picked up in the fields. He was wandering around with nowhere to go, so I took him home and gave him a meal."

Ok?
Erzhuzi rubbed his chin, frowned, entered detective mode, and began to scan Lin Xian:
"Humph!"

He snorted coldly:
"Frail skin and tender flesh, a pretty face, it's obvious that he's not a good person!"

"No."

Lin Xian originally felt a sense of familiarity as if he had met an old friend in a foreign land, but it disappeared in an instant, and he looked at Er Zhuzi:
"You are such a dog that you can't even spit out ivory."

Lin Xian couldn't help but sigh.

The foreman in the sixth dream chopped Erzhuzi into pieces and fed him to the dogs, and he was not wronged at all.

Erzhuzi waved his hand and stopped Lin Xian:

"Brother Shi, you can't take him home!"

"Why?" Smith was stunned.

"It's obvious from the first glance that this kid has ulterior motives!" Erzhuzi's eyes became sharp:
"My sharp eyes can tell at a glance! He is coming for my sister-in-law!"

"Village Chief Yan is not at home now, and there is no one to make the decision. I can only take him to see Brother Lian first and let Brother Lian judge for himself!"

Hey.

Lin Xian sighed tiredly.

Is this how it happens every time?

The same plot... He was really a little tired of it.

"Alright, alright."

Lin Xian was too lazy to talk to Er Zhuzi any more. The two of them had always been incompatible, so he waved at Smith:

"Then I'll leave first, Smith. You go home for dinner. I won't go to your house for dinner today."

"I'll just follow Big Face Cat back to his house for dinner. I haven't eaten the dumplings made by Sister Face for a long time. I miss them a lot."

"you!"

Erzhuzi frowned, his face turned green:

"I told you that you have bad intentions! You really came here for my sister-in-law! Lian Village will never tolerate a Ximen Qing like you!"

"Yo ho."

Lin Xian was very surprised and looked at Erzhuzi:
"You also know Ximen Qing, you are good at culture."

Smith, who had just taken two steps, turned back and explained to Lin Xian:

"The village library has the Four Great Classics, which were collected and hand-copied by village chief Chen Heping. There aren't many books in the library, but in addition to the Four Great Classics and some textbooks, there are also some [philosophy] books."

"I see." Lin Xian replied:
"I'll go take a look later."

It should be said that Mao Dad is a good village chief. However, heroes usually have short lives. To this day, Lin Xian has never seen Mao Dad alive, and he remains a legend.

"You still want to take a look?"

Erzhuzi was so angry that green smoke came out of his nose.

Where did this guy with such a thick skin come from?
How come you have no sense of boundaries at all?
It feels like returning to my own home!
"Hehehe..."

Erzhuzi sneered:
"You will definitely not pass the democratic vote. Be prepared to be expelled from the village!"

"Good."

Lin Xian sighed inwardly...

The Face Gang represents true democracy and fairness. That crap Turing is really weak. If the big-faced cat were allowed to be the observer of human civilization, Lin Xian would definitely feel at ease.

Soon.

Lin Xian was arrested by the messenger of justice Erzhuzi and taken to a warehouse.

There was a fat figure carrying bags of rice and freshly picked corn cobs onto an electric truck nearby.

Deep in the warehouse, A Zhuang and San Pang kept moving sacks full of crops.

The Face Gang Four.

Gathered!
Erzhuzi exaggerated the purpose of his visit to Big Face Cat, but A Zhuang and San Pang sneered at what they heard, and looked at Lin Xian with eyes that were three parts harsh, three parts disgusted, three parts contemptuous, and one part disdainful.

"Cough cough."

The big-faced cat coughed twice, patted the dust off his palms, and looked at Lin Xian:

"Brother, no matter what, we believe in democracy here. As for whether you can stay, let my three brothers vote and decide."

A Zhuang was the first to shake his head:
"This child must not be kept."

Erzhu gnashed his teeth:
"He also wants to eat the dumplings made by my sister-in-law! Does he want to eat dumplings? I'm too embarrassed to tell him!"

Sanpang shook his head wisely:

"I don't think so."

……

As expected.

Three vetoes.

Hey.

Lin Xian sighed again. Why was it so difficult for him to join the Face Gang alone every time?
It would be nice if I could bring CC along.

With CC around, these three would vote unanimously in favor of the proposal without a second thought, and as long as he admitted his marital relationship with CC, Erzhuzi would immediately become good brothers.

"You saw it too, bro."

The big-faced cat spread his hands:

"We believe in democracy. Since there are three vetoes now... we definitely cannot keep you in the village any longer."

Lin Xian slowly raised his right hand.

Extend your index finger:

"I just want to say one word."

He firmly believed.

Just one sentence can make Big Face Cat regret having met him earlier.

Just now Smith said that there were books about philosophy in the library. At that moment Lin Xian had already figured out how to conquer the big-faced cat.

He raised his head.

Looking into the clear and simple eyes of the big-faced cat.

Suddenly a night wind blew.

The wind blew up the remaining corn silk on the ground, rolled up the rice fragrance in the warehouse, and accompanied by the swaying of Lin Xian and Big Face Cat's clothes...

Amid the chirping of cicadas and sparrows, Lin Xian whispered:
“[The cat is ideology, the face is metaphysics.]”

"Fuck!"

The big-faced cat was immediately struck by lightning, and rolled over and crawled over, tightly holding Lin Xian's hands:

"A bosom friend! It's a shame we met too late, brother! You are simply a worm in my stomach!"

The big-faced cat's eyes softened.

He couldn't let go and rubbed the back of Lin Xian's hand.

Grit your teeth.

I feel very melancholy, hesitant and regretful.

On the one hand, he was convinced by Lin Xian.

On the other hand, every family has its own rules and democracy cannot be violated.

finally.

Or reason prevailed over impulse.

The big-faced cat instantly aged a few years and sighed:

"Brother, I really don't want to leave you, my life confidant... Unfortunately, democracy is democracy, rules are rules, and I can't keep you."

Say it.

He picked up a few ears of corn from the ground, and then pulled a few strips of bacon from the shelf next to him, stuffing them all into Lin Xian's arms:
"Brother can't watch you starve. Take these things and continue wandering. I'll find a place that can take you in."

"No."

Lin Xian feels that the plot is progressing too fast. Is the law enforced impartially?
"Give me a chance, Brother Face."

He suddenly thought that this time the big-faced cat was not the village chief, and there was still someone who could save him!
So he advised:
"Brother Lian, you have to let me meet the village chief. Shouldn't the village chief Yan Qiaoqiao have the final say in this village? At best, you are just a deputy village chief, right? Even if you are the village prince, the village chief's authority should be higher than yours."

"That's right!"

A spark of hope instantly ignited in Brother Lian's eyes, and he patted Lin Xian on the back:
"You're right! Although Face Village was named after me, the village chief is still the village chief, and we will always support her decisions. If she agrees to let you stay, then everyone's objections will be useless, and you will be an official villager of Face Village!"

"But... the village chief is not in the village now. She went out hunting today. I will wait for her to come back from hunting. Hmm... let's do this!"

The big-faced cat waved his hand:
"How about this, brother? Come home with me first. Your sister-in-law has already prepared the meal. You don't need a pair of chopsticks. Fill your stomach first."

"Then I will take you to see the village chief when she comes back from hunting. If she agrees to let you stay, you can stay; if she disagrees... then I really have no choice, big brother. You can take these corns and bacon, and I will pack some dry food for you later... and continue to wander."

"alright."

Lin Xian didn't make things difficult for Brother Lian.

Anyway, I can get a free meal today and start over tomorrow. Besides, I can go home with Big-Faced Cat to eat and chat, and collect some information and improve my worldview.

however……

Lin Xian just agreed.

Erzhuzi immediately became anxious:

"Brother, you are so stupid! How dare you bring this kid home! I am worried about my sister-in-law!"

"Hey, what nonsense are you talking about!"

The big-faced cat laughed and hugged Lin Xian's neck:

"I'm at ease with the brother I like!"

Subsequently.

Big Face Cat disbanded the team and said that they would gather again after the village chief came back from hunting, and that everyone should go home to eat first.

Lin Xian and Big Face Cat walked to the north of the village and went back to Big Face Cat's house for dinner.

Lin Xian suddenly became very curious.

What are the four members of the Face Gang going to gather for again soon?

In the second dream... they had to risk their lives in the middle of the night to steal things from the garbage disposal plant in Xindonghai City.

Is there going to be another secret mission this time?

So he asked directly:

"Brother Lian, you just loaded such a large truck of agricultural products, and you still have to wait for the village chief to come back from hunting... What are you going out for? Are there any activities tonight?"

"Haha, what kind of activities can there be?"

The big-faced cat smiled easily:

"Aren't we delivering goods to Donghai City in the north? The city lord Li there has just got his daughter, so he is going to hold a three-day banquet to invite all the residents of the city to eat and celebrate. Naturally, he needs a lot of food, meat, fruit, and seasonings..."

"So, Lord Li sent a message to the surrounding villages, saying that he would buy these things at the highest market price, and would accept all offers. Hehe, isn't this a good time to clear inventory and make a fortune?" "Village Chief Yan went hunting in the mountains, thinking of catching a live bear as a gift to Lord Li. Lord Li has always taken good care of our villages, and we are happy to deal with him."

Oh ~
Lin Xian said "oh".

It seems that I have over-concepted the world. This world does not have so many class struggles, tribal conflicts, wars, and disputes...

Everyone seems to be living happily.

Lord Li of the city was delighted to receive a daughter of gold.

Needless to say, it must be Li Cheng and Li Ningning!

Just count on your fingers.

Did City Lord Li just give birth to Li Ningning now?

It's too late.

"Why did Li Cheng have a child so late? What was he busy with before?"

Lin Xian followed the big-faced cat into an alley, turned around and asked:

"Is his daughter Li Ningning?"

"Li Ningning is the eldest daughter!"

The big-faced cat waved his hand:

"This time, it's a little girl. I don't know her name yet... I don't know if Li Cheng has named her."

"Li Cheng's second daughter was born yesterday. This is considered a big happy event in Donghai City. Everyone has been waiting for Li Cheng to hold a big banquet. It will start tonight and will last for three consecutive days."

I heard that Li Cheng had another daughter.

Lin Xian inexplicably laughed with deep understanding, and was truly happy for him:
"So it's the second baby. Li Ningning must be very happy because she has a little sister."

Say it.

He looked up at the sky which had completely darkened and the moon which was beginning to rise in the eastern sky.

sighed:
“【What a great era it is】”

The people live and work in peace and happiness.

Li Cheng, a hero in troubled times and a leader of the old East China Sea who was willing to sacrifice his life for justice, was also able to settle down and enjoy his life.

The family is happy, the second child is born, and they have another baby girl. They are so happy that they set up a buffet for three consecutive days.

"so good."

Thinking of the happy life of Li Cheng's family of four, Lin Xian chuckled:
“I’m a little envious.”

"What's there to envy?"

The big-faced cat patted his belly and said disapprovingly:

"They are just two children! It seems like everyone has them! Come here, brother, this is my home. I'll let you meet my sister-in-law, my daughter and my son!"

He pushed open the door to the yard next to him.

Leading Lin Xian in.

Go inside.

Serve.

They asked their wife to heat up the food and serve it, and the family started to eat happily.

"Welcome, Lin Xian."

The virtuous and beautiful sister-in-law came out with a plate of dumplings and looked at Lin Xian with a smile:

"I heard from Big Face that you came here as a wanderer. You must be starving, right? Eat something quickly... Don't be so nervous when you meet the village chief later. She's a very nice person and will definitely let you stay."

"Thank you, sister-in-law."

Lin Xian took the plate of dumplings and put it on the table.

Then pick one up with chopsticks and put it in your mouth...

Ok.

It's still that familiar smell.

The taste was exactly the same as the plate of dumplings I had eaten in the second dream a year and a half ago.

Lin Xian suddenly felt nostalgic.

It surprised me that.

In this dream world that is getting worse and worse, I can still see Sister Lian again.

next to.

Big Face Cat's son devoured the food.

While Lin Xian hadn't finished swallowing one dumpling, he had already eaten five or six.

"Hello, little face cat."

Lin Xian patted Little Face Cat's head and pushed the plate of dumplings towards him:

"Slow down, I'm not going to compete with you."

At this time.

The big-faced cat's daughter also came out from the inner room, sat down at the dining table, and picked up the chopsticks:

"Dad, how is my going to school in Donghai City?"

"I haven't had time to talk to City Lord Li yet."

The big-faced cat took a few bites of food, chewed it and said:

"Don't worry. It's not like there's no precedent for children from villages like ours to go to school in Donghai City. City Lord Li has long said that children from surrounding villages are welcome to come to Donghai City to receive a better education, but considering their ability to take care of themselves, they usually go there when they are in their teens."

"I will go to deliver vegetables and meat to City Lord Li tonight. I will mention it to him then. He will definitely not refuse."

Lin Xian was a little surprised to see that Big Face Cat was so sensible:
"Why are you so supportive of your daughter's study this time?"

“I’ve always been supportive!”

The big-faced cat smiled and said:

"Knowledge is power! Only knowledge can change your destiny!"

"Look, after the great disaster in 2400, there was another century of war, but in the end human civilization was able to recover to its current state of peace and prosperity...wasn't it all thanks to knowledge?"

"We definitely can't do it alone, but those people dug out of the hibernation capsule are smart! Even though they have lost their memories, they learn things faster than us... Plus, their lockers are filled with all kinds of books and notebooks. It is because of this knowledge and talent that we can live such a happy life now!"

"So, of course I support my daughter to get a better education! As long as she is willing to learn, it doesn't matter how hard or tired I am. I will definitely provide for her and send her to the best place to study!"

Say it.

He laughed loudly, the flesh on his face trembling, and stretched out his fat hand to rub his daughter's head:

"Have some courage, my girl! If you can become a decent person, you can live in a bigger city. It will definitely be happier than living in our small village!"

“I think this is a good place.”

The big-faced cat daughter swallowed the food in her mouth:

"This is my home, where I was born and raised. After I finish my studies, I will definitely come back to repay my hometown... Besides, if I go to a big city, it's so far away. Who will take care of you and mom when you get old?"

"There's your brother!"

The big-faced cat pointed at the small-faced cat who was licking the soup from the plate:
"I guess we can't rely on this stupid guy... Just stay with me and your mom. Just keep learning, my girl. Go as high as you can. Dad will always support you!"

Looking at this warm scene in front of me.

Lin Xian feels...

【This is the best of times. 】

At least for Big Face Cat, this is the best future.

The daughter is alive and well, the family is happy, and there is no need to take risks by skydiving or stealing from the garbage dump.

The children are doing well in their studies, the sister-in-law is virtuous and beautiful, and the little cat has been booked in advance as the main source of elderly care.

"very nice."

Lin Xian muttered.

He didn't know how long it had been since he had such a comfortable meal in his dreams and got along with everyone so easily and without any scheming.

We only realize the value of many things after we lose them.

Just like Big Face Cat’s life now.

Ordinary, yet happy.

It's just that the technology is a little behind, but the happiness we should have is no less.

"Come on, brother, have a bowl of dumpling soup."

The big-faced cat raised his soup bowl and clinked glasses with Lin Xian:
"I was supposed to have a few drinks with you today, but I have to drive and deliver goods soon, so I won't drink."

Lin Xian picked up the soup bowl, not knowing whether to laugh or cry:
"In this environment, are there still people catching drunk drivers?"

"What are you talking nonsense about?"

The big-faced cat naturally didn't understand, so he drank a big bowl of soup and wiped his mouth:
"It's mainly for safety! Don't drink and drive, and don't drive after drinking! I'm the backbone of the family... If something happens to me, what will happen to my two children? What will happen to your sister-in-law?"

The big-faced cat opened his arms and looked at Lin Xian with a smile:

"I have to be responsible for this family. This family is everything to me! So, brother, are you married? Do you have children?"

"I...uh..."

Lin Xian was speechless for a moment:
"I have children."

"Boy or girl?"

"girl."

"Hello, daughter!"

The big-faced cat laughed heartily:

"Daughters are like little cotton-padded jackets, they keep you warm! You've been wandering around for so long and haven't seen your daughter. Don't you miss her?"

Lin Xian recalled the scene where Lin Yuxi tore the car door and chopped off the fake Yuxi's head:

"You don't really want to, do you?"

"Gah?"

The big-faced cat was a little surprised and opened his eyes wide:

"What father doesn't miss his daughter? Why are you so cold?"

“It’s not indifference.”

Lin Xian placed the chopsticks in his hand on the bowl and rubbed the base of his left hand with his right thumb:

"Maybe she's a little naughty. She's a little different from other girls. She's... more noisy."

"Hi!"

The big-faced cat didn't take it seriously and waved his hand:
"Whose child doesn't make noises? A child who doesn't make noises isn't smart! Besides...how noisy can a child be?"

“Could it be possible to smash the grizzly bear’s head with one punch like Village Chief Yan did? Hahahahahaha!”

The big-faced cat laughed out loud.

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"

The little-faced cat also laughed with its head tilted back.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Lin Xian was too weak to laugh along.

He didn't want to laugh.

But if I don’t smile at this time, it seems a little out of place.

"Big brother!"

At this time, A Zhuang's voice came from the yard. He came to inform the police.

Lift the door curtain.

Go into the house.

A Zhuang wiped the sweat from his forehead:
"Brother, the village chief is back from hunting. Didn't you say you would take this kid to see the village chief?"

"Ah, yes."

The big-faced cat finally finished the dumpling soup in the bowl and patted Lin Xian on the shoulder:

"Come on, brother, let's go see the village chief."

……

After walking for ten minutes, we arrived near the warehouse again.

Lin Xian saw from afar a tall, beautiful young woman with a slender figure.

The immaturity of her girlhood had long since faded away, replaced by maturity and composure.

Her long black hair was tied in a high ponytail at the back of her head.

He was wearing a tight hunting suit, with various weapons and knives on his waist, and a bow and arrow and rope on his back.

There are obviously hot weapons in this era...

But this village chief seemed to prefer the feeling of physical combat.

She has good hearing.

I heard the sound of approaching from a distance and looked over here.

The crystal blue eyes, like two bright lights in the dark night, stared at Lin Xian closely.

The big-faced cat waved:

"Village Chief Yan, this is——"

suddenly.

The blue-eyed woman walked quickly forward until she was only one step away.

Keep your eyes open.

Lips slightly parted.

His expression was full of shock:

"You... are you?"

talking.

She pulled out a laminated photo from the lining of her clothes.

On the back of the photo, the three words "Yan Qiaoqiao" were written in beautiful handwriting.

And the front...

It is a family photo.

A man and a woman shaped like a couple, dressed as king and queen, are attached to the back.

The cute little daughter in front is holding up her skirt and looking at the camera with a smile.

The blue-eyed woman stared at Lin Xian in disbelief.

Pointing at the photo... the king who looked exactly like the man in front of him, he moved his lips slightly:
"Is this you?"

Lin Xian nodded.

The blue-eyed woman took a deep breath:

"What is your relationship with me?"

Lin Xian took the laminated photo from her.

Look at these photos that were taken "not long ago" or "600 years ago".

Said softly:

"You may not believe me when I tell you the truth, but I don't need to hide it from you now. I'll tell you the truth."

"If you are sure that the little girl in the photo, Yan Qiaoqiao, is indeed you."

"Then I..."

He raised his head.

Looking into the woman's crystal blue eyes:

"That's your dad."
