"My name is Bao Tian, and I am the village chief of this Smart Village. You may call me Old Bao or Village Chief."
“Alright, then, Village Chief Bao, I’ll get straight to the point.” Looking sincerely at the old man before her, Ruixue first straightened her back and tucked in her stomach, trying her best to appear as a righteous person, before asking, “I wonder if Smart Village has been harassed by any bullies recently?”
"Bully, harassment?"
Village Chief Bao tilted his head and pondered for a while before answering, "There is indeed a bully village more than ten miles away from here. But the name of the bully village has never bothered us. In fact, our two villages often communicate and exchange daily necessities."
As he said this, the old village chief pointed to his patched clothes and said...
"Just one bushel of grain is enough to exchange for a coat in the bully village."
"A bushel of grain can only buy one overcoat? And a leaky overcoat full of patches?"
Realizing something was wrong, Chen Haohao immediately frowned in extreme anger.
You have to understand, that's twenty pounds! Twenty pounds of grain can only be exchanged for a tattered overcoat that someone else has worn.
Isn't this pure bullying?
"Village Chief Bao, are you being threatened by someone, which is why you dare not tell us the truth?" Ruixue, who had also realized this, quickly came to this conclusion.
However, there was no trace of humiliation or resentment on Village Chief Bao's face. He simply continued calmly, "We haven't been threatened by anyone."
"Then why would you be willing to exchange a bushel of grain for such a tattered coat?" Ruixue was extremely puzzled at the time.
However, Village Chief Bao felt there was nothing wrong with this:
"Isn't this a normal transaction? Besides, the village chief of the bully village is a very kind person. This one shi of grain is a discounted price. In the past, a coat like the one I'm wearing would have cost at least two shi of grain."
"???"
He opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a single word for a long time.
However, Ruixue and Haohao also figured it out.
It seems that neither Village Chief Bao, nor even the villagers of Smart Village, have a particularly clear understanding of prices.
It's important to understand that bartering only takes place under the premise that the goods on both sides have equal value, or that the value is equalized through quantity.
But judging from the current situation, it's clear that this smart village has been terribly wronged by that bullying village.
Encountering something like this on their first trip down the mountain, it's no wonder that Ruixue and Haohao wouldn't just stand by and do nothing.
Even if Chen Yuze had met him, he wouldn't have left so easily.
However, since this training was led by Ruixue, Chen Yuze stood silently behind the two girls, and from an angle where no one could see him, he would either pinch Quefeng's little hand or touch her thigh, looking incredibly happy.
"Village Chief Bao, you've been tricked by the bullies of the bully village!"
As the saying goes, when you see injustice on the road, you should roar out; when it's time to take action, you should take action.
In order to prevent the people of Smart Village from being deceived by the bad guys from Bully Village any longer, Ruixue immediately spoke the truth: "With your patched coat, Village Chief Bao, let alone a shi of grain, even if you exchanged it for half a shi of grain, you would be losing out big time."
"Huh?" Village Chief Bao was clearly shocked by the truth Ruixue had revealed:
"But the village chief of the bully village said that this kind of clothing is popular in our Ten Thousand Mountains now! It is said that this clothing originated from Changqing Mountain! Do you know Changqing Mountain? It's the Changqing Mountain where Doctor Chen is stationed!"
"Huh? Village Chief Bao, you know about Changqing Mountain?" Unexpectedly, this seemingly simple-minded Village Chief Bao actually knew about the existence of Changqing Mountain, and Ruixue immediately became quite interested.
In response, Village Chief Bao stroked his snow-white beard and began to speak eloquently: "Hey, who within hundreds of miles doesn't know Changqing Mountain now? Especially that Divine Doctor Chen from Changqing Mountain, who only spent a year..."
"So you'll lead Changqingshan to meteoric success and catch up with top-tier powers?" Haohao excitedly continued before Village Chief Bao could finish speaking.
To be honest, hearing about one's father's great achievements from outsiders is a wonderful experience!
However, faced with Chen Haohao's explanation, Village Chief Bao frowned with a look of confusion.
"Young lady, what are you saying? What I'm trying to say is that Dr. Chen, in just one year, has married more than a dozen concubines! How enviable!"
Chen Haohao: "???"
Well, this really is a case of keeping one's achievements hidden, yet their fame has spread far and wide.
"Cough cough..."
To avoid embarrassing her father, Chen Haohao quickly changed the subject: "Village Chief Bao, to be honest, we actually came from Changqing Mountain. I can tell you with certainty that your clothes are definitely not worth a bushel of grain. Moreover, the rough workmanship is definitely not a product of Changqing Mountain."
"This……"
To be honest, Village Chief Bao really didn't know whether he should believe what the two girls in front of him were saying.
After all, their Smart Village and the Bully Village have been exchanging information for more than half a year.
After much deliberation, Village Chief Bao still couldn't believe that the seemingly kind-faced but ruthless village chief would deceive him.
However, just as Village Chief Bao was at a loss for what to do, a slightly arrogant voice suddenly came from not far away:
"Village Chief Bao, I've brought new clothes for Changqing Mountain again! Everyone in Smart Village, does anyone want some new clothes?"
404. Are all your villains mass-produced on an assembly line?
"Village Chief Bao, I've brought new clothes for Changqing Mountain again! Everyone in Smart Village, does anyone want some new clothes?"
Upon hearing that familiar voice, Village Chief Bao, who had been struggling with who to believe, immediately had an idea.
"Girl, look over there. That burly young man is E Tongtian, the grandson of the village chief of the bully village. Why don't you go and confront him face to face?"
"What's so difficult about this?"
Ruixue was already very dissatisfied with the bullying village's practice of taking advantage of honest people and using tattered clothes to cheat the smart village out of its grain.
Now that the swindler himself has arrived, she is naturally going to seek justice for the villagers of Smart Village!
After Ruixue and Haohao exchanged a glance, they quickly...
"Ha, these tattered clothes are so worn they'd let in a draft even in a pigsty. And you still have the nerve to say you're from Changqing Mountain?"
"Ok?"
Upon hearing Ruixue's voice, E Tongtian immediately frowned in displeasure.
But after discovering that the two girls in front of him were quite pretty, his displeasure softened considerably: "Girls, you need to have evidence for what you're saying. What makes you think my clothes aren't from Changqingshan?"
"Because your aunt and grandma are people who just came down from Changqing Mountain."
Pointing at the tattered clothes scattered on the ground with her head held high and chest puffed out, Ruixue couldn't help but sneer, "The clothing from Changqingshan is all exquisitely crafted, and the fabrics are all of the highest quality. Look at these pieces of junk you've put together, and you dare to try and sell them to Changqingshan?"
Unfortunately, this explanation had absolutely no effect on E Tongtian.
"Girl, don't make me laugh. My Bully Village and Clever Village are located in such a desolate and remote place. How could the great monsters of Changqing Mountain possibly come to such a place for no reason? If you are from Changqing Mountain, then Doctor Chen of Changqing Mountain is my own father!"
"?"
Chen Yuze, who had been silently observing everything from a distance, immediately asked a question mark.
So, is it a little too easy to become a father these days?
However, Chen Yuze also figured out E Tongtian's purpose.
Isn't this guy just trying to make a joke and steer the conversation away from his clothes and towards Ruixue's identity?
Fortunately, Ruixue has Haohao to help her.
Otherwise, this girl might really have been tricked by Evil Tongtian.
"Hmph, let's just say we're not from Changqing Mountain." Not bothered by these trivial matters, Chen Haohao went straight to the heart of the matter: "But these tattered clothes of yours don't look like they come from Changqing Mountain at all, do they?"
"What makes you say these clothes didn't come from Changqing Mountain?" Clearly, this evil Tongtian didn't know this was the first time he'd pulled off such a stunt.
Seeing that Chen Haohao had seen through his plan, the evil Tongtian simply asked the same question again.
Unfortunately, Haohao wouldn't obediently follow his lead like Ruixue.
"Then how do you prove that these clothes came from Changqing Mountain? You said yourself that your bully village is located in a desolate and remote place, so how did you obtain these clothes?"
"you……"
Unexpectedly, this time they actually encountered a tough opponent. After being questioned by Chen Haohao, E Tongtian was unable to answer any more questions.
“Girls, I advise you not to meddle in other people’s business! This is a deal between my bullying village and my clever village. As long as neither of us has any objections, isn’t that settled? Why do you have to interfere in these external matters? You should know that sometimes meddling too much can bring trouble upon yourself!”
"Bring trouble upon you? You?"
Ruixue couldn't help but laugh out loud: "You've been staying in this remote place for so long, do you really think that as long as there are no tigers in the mountains, you can be the king of the land, huh?"
"So, it seems the young lady is prepared to refuse a polite offer and then suffer the consequences?"
E Tongtian made a 'go up' gesture, and in an instant, more than ten figures surrounded Hao Hao and Rui Xue.
If an ordinary cultivator encountered such a situation, they might really suffer some hardship.
After all, these dozen or so figures were all genuine Golden Core cultivators!
Unfortunately, this little golden elixir is really no match for Ruixue and Haohao.
"Oh ho, so you can't prove your stuff is from Changqingshan, so you're resorting to force?"
He casually took out the wooden sword he usually used for cultivation from his storage ring, and his eyes sharpened defiantly: "Sister Ruixue, you'll cover for me. You don't need to lift a finger to deal with these trash!"
"This……"
To be honest, Ruixue wasn't really keen on letting Haohao take the class.
Don't be fooled by the fact that this girl says she wants to go down the mountain to uphold justice and eliminate evil. In reality, she just wants to show off her cultivation level of the Integration Realm to outsiders and then brag a little.
However, now that Hao Hao has already put it this way, it's naturally not appropriate for me, as her older sister, to refuse her kind offer.
So, after silently letting out a deep sigh, Ruixue nodded with feigned relief, mimicking her father's usual tone, and said in a pretentious manner, "Alright, remember that even a lion needs to go all out to hunt a rabbit. Although these people are of low cultivation, you must not be careless or underestimate them. Be sure to pay attention to your safety."
"I understand, Sister Ruixue."
"No, you two are quite the actors, aren't you?" Seeing Ruixue and Haohao chatting away but not actually doing anything, E Tongtian was amused by them.
These two women are just putting on a brave face and pretending to be something they're not.
"Brothers, get them! But be careful not to kill them. These two girls are pretty good-looking; we can take them home to my dad! That way, I'll have two more moms."
Haha!
"???"
Chen Yuze, who was not far away, was once again stunned by E Tongtian's outrageous statement.
Unexpectedly, this burly young man is actually a filial son who always thinks of his father!
Unfortunately, his sincere filial piety is destined to remain unfulfilled today.
"Noisy!"
