C1956 Salary
Not long after, an old man walked over with a walking stick.
"Young Master, this old man has never heard of the Baichang Duchy that you spoke of."
Seeing the old man holding the walking stick say that he had never heard of the Baichang Duchy, Lee Jun was puzzled for a while before he continued.
"Uh, Demon Martial Academy, Azure Could Sect, has this old man heard of them before?"
"This old man has only a superficial knowledge, I have never even heard of the place that Young Master talked about."
Seeing the old man say that he had never heard of him before, Lee Jun cupped his hands and said.
"Since that's the case, I'll have to trouble you then."
Just as Lee Jun was about to turn around and leave, the old man with the cane couldn't help but ask.
"Young master, wait a moment."
"Elder, is there anything else?"
"It's getting late, even if young master wants to go to Shaoqi City, you have to travel a hundred miles."
"It's not safe to walk in the forest at night. Powerful beasts will frequently appear."
"Why don't we stay in the village for the night and continue our journey at daybreak?"
When the other middle-aged hunters heard the Village Head's words, they wanted to say something but ended up sighing helplessly.
"Elder, even if we travel in the middle of the night, it would still be fine …"
Without waiting for Lee Jun to finish speaking, Old Village Head's eyes were a little lonely as he looked into the distance.
"Ten years ago, my son, who was on his way at night, was attacked by ferocious beasts. His whereabouts are still unknown …"
"Young master, please take the old man's advice to stay in the village for the night and travel during the day."
Lee Jun looked at the old man in front of him. His eyes were a bit red, as if he was in love with the scenery.
After hesitating for a while, Lee Jun couldn't bear to refuse him, so he cupped his hands and said.
"Since elder insists, Lee Jun will do as senior says."
The old man was kind, Lee Jun didn't know the direction, so he didn't rush and stayed the night.
Old Village Head was very happy to see Lee Jun agree to stay. He hurried to lead the way and said.
"Young master, let's go. Come and sit inside the house."
"Old family, I'm not some young master. Just call me Lee Jun."
As he spoke, Lee Jun followed Old Village Head into the village.
Soon, Old Village Head brought Lee Jun into a room. When they entered, Old Village Head shouted happily.
"Old granny, hurry up and pack up Tiger Boy's room. We have a guest here."
Just as Old Village Head finished talking, an old lady walked out from the inner room.
When she saw Lee Jun, the grandma was slightly surprised and asked in doubt.
"Old man, who is this young master?"
"Hello, old man. Just call me Lee Jun."
"I got lost in the forest. It was the old grandpa's kind intention to take me in for the night."
When Lee Jun said this, the old granny suddenly recovered and hastily called Lee Jun into the room.
"Lee Jun, hurry up and go inside. Our village is quite remote, and we don't have many customers. Let me clean up the room first."
"Old woman, I'll go clean up the room. Hurry up and get some food, I think Lee Jun is hungry."
"Good, good, good. Old man, go and pack up. I will go and get some food. Lee Jun, take a seat anywhere you want. Don't be too formal."
Lee Jun originally wanted to refuse, but when he saw the warm gazes of the two elders, he found it hard to refuse.
Not long later, the grandma brought some food out and said enthusiastically.
"Lee Jun, it's just plain rice. I wonder if you can get used to it."
"Old man, I'm used to eating, you don't need to greet me."
While eating, Lee Jun did not mind the two old men who were sitting on the side with a look of joy on their faces.
"Lee Jun, leave the dishes there. I'll clean them up."
"Hurry up and rest, don't you have to hurry tomorrow?"
Seeing the two elders' passionate look, Lee Jun slightly bowed and walked into the guest room.
While he was lying on the bed, Lee Jun heard the two elders whispering to each other outside.
"Old man, if Hu Zi isn't missing, he should be around Lee Jun's age, right?"
"Old woman, it's already been ten years, how can you still not remember?"
"Old man, you can't forget it."
Hearing the conversation between the two elders, Lee Jun didn't feel anything, as he had unknowingly fallen into a deep sleep …
The next morning, before Lee Jun woke up, five robust man walked into the village.
When the hunters saw robust man, their eyes were filled with disgust.
However, none of the hunters dared to say anything. After all, the robust man in front of them was not someone to be trifled with.
After all, the robust man Clan was made up of Shaoqi City. Members of large clans would come to the nearby villages every year.
Every village would receive a salary, also known as a protection fee.
Although they were charged protection fees, if the village encountered any danger, the hunters would have to deal with it themselves.
These people had never cared about the lives of the villagers, they only wanted to fish for oil from the village.
However, they had no choice but to give it to the other villages. After all, the other party was a member of a large clan. How could they dare to offend them?
All the hunters in the village gathered their gold coins together. All the hard work of the past year had fallen into the hands of these people.
When Old Village Head heard that robust man had arrived, he hurriedly followed the villagers to the entrance to welcome them.
robust man, who was in the lead, said in a disapproving manner.1
"Old man, what about this year's salary?"
When Old Village Head heard this, he did not dare to be slow. He hurriedly handed over a small cloth bag with both hands.
"Milords, this year's salary."
The robust middle-aged man in the lead received the small pouch and counted it.
In next to no time, the robust middle-aged man in the lead frowned slightly.
