"Everyone lend a hand and help Xiao Feng put the tiles back on!"
At this moment, the village chief Li Qiang, after complimenting Ye Feng a few words, waved to the villagers watching around and said loudly.
Li Qiang has considerable prestige in Yuanhu Village. In addition, the lecherous old man and Ye Feng have helped villagers cure headaches and fevers in the past, so he has earned a lot of popularity.
After hearing Li Qiang's words, the villagers rushed forward, some picking up bricks, some picking up tiles, and they were busy.
There is strength in numbers, and there were already quite a few bricklayers in Yuanhu Village. In a short while, the tiles that were lifted off by those hooligans were restored to their original state.
However, those hooligans were too ruthless in their attack and many tiles were thrown directly from the roof, turning into pieces. Although the bricklayer was skillful, he was unable to completely repair the roof.
"Xiao Feng, just make do with it for the next two days. I'll start the kiln and help you burn some tiles to fix the roof..."
The bricklayer was very dissatisfied with the result of his work. He looked at the roof which was missing pieces and looked like it had been gnawed by a dog, shook his head, and continued:
"But this house is too old, with mud walls. It won't last for a few years even if it's repaired. I think you might as well just tear it down and build a new one, Xiao Feng. Just say the word and I'll help you without asking for any money."
"Thank you for your kindness, uncle. As long as the house can shelter me from the wind and rain, I don't ask for too much..."
Ye Feng shook his head and politely declined the bricklayer's offer to help demolish the old house and rebuild a new one.
"Changxian, you are worrying too much..."
Li Qiang laughed when he heard that. He looked at Ye Feng with envy on his face and said, "Do you think Xiao Feng is you? He is really capable and will make a name for himself sooner or later. By then, he will have all the houses he wants. What else can he need from this small old house in the mountains? I think you want Xiao Feng to do you a favor."
"That's true. I've known for a long time that Xiaofeng is an amazing kid. He will definitely become a big shot in the future. I was overthinking it." The bricklayer smiled foolishly and scratched his head, with some envy in his eyes.
Seeing this, Ye Feng smiled bitterly and shook his head, but did not explain anything further.
In fact, it was not that Ye Feng was afraid of the favor from the bricklayer. When this guy was firing the kiln, he opened the kiln too early and was smoked by the heat. He was sent to the hospital but there was nothing he could do. It was the lecherous old man who pulled him back from the brink of death.
The bricklayer often said that his life was given by Mr. Ye, and as long as Mr. Ye said a word, he would go through mountains of swords and seas of fire.
The men in the mountains are willing to sacrifice their lives for a spit and a nail, let alone build a small house.
Moreover, Ye Feng didn’t think he would have a bright future. He thought the old house was useless and was too lazy to rebuild it.
The reason why he refused was because he had built this old house with the lecherous old man with his bare ass.
This dilapidated old house carried his childhood and many of his memories of the old pervert. Now that the old pervert is gone, this old house is his only thought left in the world, and Ye Feng is really reluctant to tear it down.
"Village chief, did that group of people just now do anything to the old man's grave?" Thinking of this, Ye Feng's eyes suddenly showed some anxiety.
"What can those fucking bastards do..."
Upon hearing this, Li Qiang waved his hand decisively and said in a deep voice: "I have already told everyone that if those people dare to touch a blade of grass on Mr. Ye's grave, I will be the first to fight them to the death."
Ye Feng didn’t bother to think about whether what Li Qiang said was true or not, but he was indeed relieved.
There is a Chinese saying that when a person dies, it is like a light going out, rest in peace on the ground.
If because of him, the grave of the lecherous old man was dug up and he could not rest in peace in his grave, then Ye Feng would probably never be able to forgive himself in his lifetime.
"Everyone has worked hard. Stay for dinner before leaving. I will make snake soup for you tonight!" After heaving a sigh of relief, Ye Feng smiled, bowed to all the villagers, and said loudly.
"Snake soup, tsk tsk..."
Li Qiang smacked his lips, as if he could smell the fragrance of the snake soup, but after drooling for a while, he waved his hand and said, "We are from the same village, so we should take care of each other. Xiao Feng, don't bother me."
After saying this, Li Qiang took the lead and walked out of the yard.
With him taking the lead, the people in the village immediately followed suit and left.
This is how it is in the mountain villages. There is a human touch that is not found in the city. Supporting each other is commonplace and there is no need to ask for any reward.
Even if they just drank a bowl of snake soup from Ye Feng, they would feel like they were taking advantage of Ye Feng.
"Xiaoqin..."
Among the people who left was Su Xiaoqin's mother, Wang Xiulian. After reaching the door, she lowered her voice and called out to Su Xiaoqin, hoping that her daughter could leave with her.
But at this moment, Su Xiaoqin was staring at Ye Feng in a daze and didn't hear what she said at all.
Looking at her daughter's infatuated look, Wang Xiu Lian shook her head helplessly, sighed, and left.
However, neither Ye Feng nor anyone else noticed that at the outermost edge of the crowd, Han Xiaoyun, who had not been seen in the village for a day, was standing there, looking at Ye Feng with a complicated expression, but deep in her eyes there was a look of relief.
"Ye Feng, what did the deputy director say to you when he left?" After the crowd left, Jiang Yixue asked Ye Feng with a curious expression on her face.
She could sense that Jiang Cheng's dispatch this time was unusual, as if he was supporting Ye Feng. But as far as she knew, although Ye Feng had amazing medical skills, he actually had no background.
"Is such that… "
Ye Feng was also curious, so he told Jiang Cheng everything he had said.
"So, someone in the provincial capital is speaking up for you, and he must be a big shot!"
Jiang Yixue's eyes lit up when she heard Ye Feng's words, but she soon showed a disappointed expression and said to Ye Feng: "If that's the case, you shouldn't have let Chen Haobei go so easily just now. If you do it well, Chen Haobei will be skinned alive."
Ye Feng knew that Jiang Yixue would not lie to him, and he felt a little annoyed after hearing that.
But soon, he returned to normal. If something is missed, it is missed. There is no regret medicine in this world. And although he felt sorry for missing this opportunity, it did not mean that Ye Feng was afraid of Chen Haobei.
After a brief moment of distraction, Ye Feng looked at Jiang Yixue and told her his guess, hoping that she could help verify it.
"It must be her!" Jiang Yixue's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she said with hope in her eyes: "I was right. There is a small green lotus sewn on the cuff of her clothes. She must be from the Nie family! Only they have such great power."
Nie family?!
Ye Feng looked at Jiang Yixue in confusion. Seeing Jiang Yixue's expression, it seemed that the Nie family where Qingwu was was very powerful.
