Chapter 1530: Tao Jinyan

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

As for why Jiang Yue and Xue Yan still wanted to inquire more about this place, it was something they did not want to question. He still thought that there was something wrong with Jiang Yue and Xue Yan’s brains; considering they were asking such simple questions.

Hearing this, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan looked at each other again.

Then it was Xue Yan who said, “You might not know that much. Can you introduce us to your village chief?”

Since he was the village chief, he should know more than Zhang Dazhu, an ordinary villager from Stone Village. Therefore, they wanted to ask the village chief directly what was going on here.

“Sure.” Zhang Dazhu answered without thinking.

Zhang Shoushou also huffed and puffed, not having any objections.

Then, Zhang Dazhu and his son brought Jiang Yue and Xue Yan to the village chief’s house.

“May I ask the name of your village chief?”

“Our village chief’s name is Tao Jinyan. He’s a good person and a good village chief, but he’s very annoying to me and my son. Because my son and I have done a lot of things. It was also strange that he could always encounter such trivial matters. In the past, he only liked to nag about my son and me. Now that he’s almost seventy years old, he doesn’t have that much energy anymore. I heard him say that he almost got the scholar mark when he was young, but someone else took his place. That person had a backer, and he didn’t, so he could only endure it. There was nothing he could do even if he couldn’t bear it. Otherwise, they will accuse him of complaining.”

Although cheating was quite common in the examination hall, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan didn’t expect it to happen to Tao Jinyan. They couldn’t help but look at each other.

“But it’s been so many years.” Zhang Dazhu was still talking. “I guess he’s gotten over it. He hasn’t mentioned it much anymore.”

Very soon, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan were brought to the entrance of the courtyard with a mud wall. The wall was mottled and some soil had fallen off. There were two jujube trees at the side.

“Village chief!” Seeing that the courtyard door was not closed, Zhang Dazhu rushed in.

“Village chief!” Zhang Shoushou also rushed in, surpassing his father.

“What are you shouting for? I’m old, but I’m not deaf.” freeweɓnovēl.coɱ

Standing at the entrance of the courtyard, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan looked over when they heard the sound. They saw an old man lying on a recliner under a tree in this courtyard. The old man’s hair and beard were all white, making him look even older than his age. His face was also pale.

This old man was the village chief of Stone Village, Tao Jinyan.

Tao Jinyan’s tone was rather impatient, and he even looked like he had a headache hearing them call for him. It was obvious that Zhang Dazhu and Zhang Shoushou had caused him a lot of worry.

Seeing that Jiang Yue and Xue Yan didn’t follow him in, Zhang Dazhu didn’t rush to let them in. Instead, he ran to Tao Jinyan and smiled at him. “Village chief, haha, Shoushou and I met two people. They want to ask more, but I don’t know how to answer them. If you know, help us tell them the truth.”

Without waiting for Tao Jinyan to speak, he quickly whispered again. “There seems to be something wrong with those two people’s brains. They are people from here, but they keep asking simple questions. It’s as if they’re not from here.”

“I think you’re the one with a problem!” Tao Jinyan sat up and gave Zhang Dazhu a knock on the head before asking, “Where are they?”

“Aren’t they right there?” Zhang Dazhu pointed out.

Only then did Tao Jinyan see Jiang Yue and Xue Yan — who were not ordinary-looking people — at the entrance of the courtyard. Then, he quickly stood up and invited them in.

No matter what, he couldn’t let anyone stand at the entrance of the courtyard like that. This was too rude.

“Greetings, Village Chief Tao.” Jiang Yue and Xue Yan walked in and bowed.
