Traveling through the barren years, I have a system and am not afraid of anything

"Where are you from, old man? Are you passing through our village or are you here specifically to visit your fourth uncle?"

The village chief was carrying a jar of wine in his left hand and an earthenware pot in his right hand. The stew in the earthen pot should be pheasant.

"We were passing by, and my brother kindly took us in for a night when it was snowing heavily!"

The national preceptor looked at the village chief, and the village chief also looked at the national preceptor.

"This snow has no intention of showing off to others. I'm afraid God wants to keep me here for two more days!"

The village chief is very talkative and appears to be both warm and polite.

Although it was a farm meal, the old lady's meal was quite sumptuous. They would definitely be reluctant to eat like this on weekdays.

"The village chief is young and his future achievements are immeasurable!"

Although the village chief is a low-ranking official, he is still very important. Only when the quality of the village chief improves can the quality of the whole people improve.

"With the little girl's words, now the policies are good and there are many opportunities. I will take the imperial examination next year and try to get good results!"

The village chief glanced at Tian Tian a few more times. Everyone has a love for beauty. In addition to admiration, there was also a bit of suspicion in his eyes. The old man's granddaughter was too beautiful. If he was brought out to walk with such beauty, wouldn't he be afraid of danger?

Although Daqi is different from the past, there are still many rogues and bad guys. It would be a pity if such a beautiful little person was robbed.

"Do you think the village chief is a literate man?"

The Imperial Master's eyes lit up. It was not easy to produce a literate person in a small village, and even more difficult to produce a scholar.

"Brother, I don't know. Our village chief is the only scholar in our village. All the children in the village are taught by the village chief. He is a capable person!"

The old couple extended their thumbs to praise, which made the village chief blush.

"Actually, you don't have to take any imperial examinations. Now you are the village chief. After three years of assessment, you can be promoted to the district chief, and then to the county magistrate. As long as you have real ability, you can be promoted step by step!"

The latest laws of Daqi state that the top three positions in the imperial examination must start from the grassroots level, and the value of promotion from the village chief is much higher than that of the top three imperial examinations.

"Here~ I heard some news. Is it possible that there is such a good thing?"

The village chief shook his head. Although the court was different now, he still didn't believe those rumors. It seemed a bit too childish.

"What I said is true. In fact, I have thought about promoting officials from the grassroots for a long time. I think what is really needed to be an official is not how knowledgeable you are, but management experience and a sense of responsibility to the people!"

"Start as the village chief, accumulate management experience bit by bit, and enrich your knowledge bit by bit. The officials promoted in this way will be more experienced and useful than those selected through the imperial examination!"

After Tian Tian finished speaking, the village chief was stunned, and his eyes changed again and again when he looked at Tian Tian and the Imperial Master.

"Ahem, I don't know if what I said is right. My grandpa usually tells me about current affairs, so I have these ideas!"

Tian Tian lowered her head shyly. She was so proud that she almost exposed her identity. She was careless~

"Even though she is young, my little granddaughter has been raised as a boy since she was a child. Her character and strategy are no worse than those of boys!"

The Imperial Master smiled a little happily, and it was rare for Tian Tian to relax his vigilance.

"Why do you have to compete with boys? Look how extraordinary this little girl is. She is much prettier than my granddaughter!"

The old lady is really curious about Tian Tian, ​​who is beautiful and sensible. No matter how you look at such a child, you will find her very rare.

The national master and the village chief exchanged cups and drank until midnight. The village chief was obviously tipsy when he left. He took the national master and had a sip. It was rare to find a close friend, and the national master was a little moved by the words.

The next day, before the snow stopped, the Imperial Master and Tian Tian said goodbye to the old couple.

"It's impossible to travel in this weather. You can stay here for two more days. How can we, an old couple, rest assured if we leave like this?"

The old lady couldn't bear it, holding Tian Tian's hand and refusing to let go no matter what.

"Brother, we have to get to the capital before the end of the year. I'm afraid we won't be able to get there if we delay any longer. There is no such thing as a feast that lasts forever. Let's get together again someday if we have a chance!"

The national master and Tian Tian walked away in the wind and snow, and their figures gradually disappeared until no one could be seen. The old couple were still waving at the entrance of the village.

"Fourth uncle and fourth aunt, what are you doing here?"

I drank too much last night and the village chief got up late.

"Send it to the grandparents!"

"Why did you leave when the snow was so heavy?"

"I can't keep you here. People say I will rush to the capital before the end of the year!"

The old man was still looking at the intersection. He was really worried. Don't let anything happen in such heavy snow.

"Rush to the capital? Does Fourth Uncle know their identities?"

The village chief couldn't sleep after returning home. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was not an easy matter for the grandparents.

"Identity? Isn't it the same as the rest of us?"

Although the old man's clothes were not patched, they were ordinary clothes, but the little girl's clothes were a little thin, and she might not be having a good time.

"Those two people talk well, how can they be ordinary people?"

The village chief still had some knowledge, but he didn't speculate too much. The three of them entered the house while talking.

"Old man, look what that is?"

The old lady rubbed her eyes. There was a bunch of extra things on their broken earthen kang.

"This? This is~"

The old man's hands were shaking a little, and there was a pile of rice flour cloth, with twenty taels of silver placed on top of the cloth.

"This may be a way of thanking you for taking me in. I have long said that as long as you are kind-hearted, you will be rewarded!"

The village chief was very happy for the old couple. Life was difficult for them, but with the food and money, they could live a better life for the rest of their lives.

"That brother really surprised me!"

The old couple looked at each other and smiled. No one said that the two came empty-handed.

"How can we leave today? Please think of a way quickly, I can't stand it anymore!"

The wind and snow hit his face like a knife, and the Imperial Master couldn't stand it any longer.

"Let's go back to space first. If we go any further, we'll probably get lost!"

Tian Tian quickly brought the national master into the space.

"Oh, my mother, where did such a heavy snowstorm come from? How can it continue to rain like this?"

The Imperial Master sat on the ground panting. He had never seen such heavy snow since he could remember.

"They say auspicious snow heralds a good harvest, but I think heavy snow may not be a good thing!"

Tian Tian is also worried. She doesn't know how many places will be affected by this snow.

"Okay, now that the two of us are stuck in the wilderness, don't think too much. Let's do our best and obey fate!"

Now even if you have great strength, you can't do it. After all, people can't fight with the sky.

"Let's stay in the space for the time being. There's a lot of space in the small villa. Let's live there for a while and then talk about it!"

As long as the snow stops, we can continue our journey, but we don't know when it will stop.

Tian Tian always felt that something was not right about the snow, but he couldn't tell what was wrong, so he could only wait slowly. If there was a problem, sooner or later there would be a flaw.
