Acai's Sky

Chapter 639: The Glory of the Village Chief

The golden raccoon dog silently used the invisibility technique and tiptoed to Acai's side.

At this time, its owner was sitting on a mat, enjoying the delicious roujiamo with relish.

The rich aroma filled the air, making people salivate.

Seeing his master eating with gusto and oil dripping from his mouth, the golden raccoon dog couldn't help but drool like beads that had broken off the string, dripping straight down.

It blinked its round eyes and thought to itself, "Wow, this looks delicious! I want to have a big bite of it!"

Ah Cai accidentally caught a glimpse of the Golden Raccoon's useless and greedy look and shook her head helplessly.

Then she turned around and told Xiao Yidu to make dozens of roujiamo and put them into a large and exquisite bamboo basket. Then she handed it to the golden raccoon dog who was looking at it eagerly with a smile.

In fact, the golden raccoon dog came here originally to ask its owner if there was anything he needed help with recently.

After all, it has been doing nothing all day long during this period of time and is too lazy to even practice.

The other little friends could no longer contain their excitement and flew out of Taibai Village to other places in China to play and have fun, but it was the only one that stayed in the village.

However, Ah Cai did not understand the Golden Raccoon's intention.

She chewed on a delicious roujiamo (a steamed bun) and waved nonchalantly at the golden raccoon dog, saying, "Go do whatever you want!"

After saying that, he continued to eat and drink with the children beside him, chatting and laughing, and didn't take the matter to heart at all.

The golden raccoon was secretly delighted to see that his master didn't care about him at all.

Since no one was taking care of it, it decided to let itself go! So, it happily dove into the underground of Taibai Village, ready to build a comfortable and warm nest for itself.

On the other side, Ah Cai led a group of naughty and cute children to gather under the eaves of Hua Lao's house. Everyone had a delicious meal in their hands and they were laughing and making a lot of noise. It was very lively.

...

Mr. Xiao happened to be here with Hua Lao.

He looked at Ah Cai outside, gave Boss Qiu a look, and whispered, "The City Lord is looking really worrying. We need to protect her information. Let our people over at Ouyang lead the investigation into the City Lord and obscure the information."

Boss Qiu sat leisurely on the chair, holding the old pipe in his hand. He slowly brought it to his mouth, took a deep breath, and then gently exhaled a round smoke ring.

His gaze shone through the smoke, a serious expression on his face. "We can't keep this secret for long. People are everywhere trying to track down the Lord of Wangyou City's resting place. Tell me, can we keep this under wraps?"

Xiao Lao, standing by, frowned tightly, his face filled with worry. "Let's keep it a secret for as long as possible. Do those guys really think they're so great just because they're officials? They simply don't understand the current status and situation of our country."

Boss Qiu wiped the tobacco oil from his cigarette holder and said thoughtfully, "Since the New Year, the City Lord generously gifted all of us Chinese players precious elixirs. Now, good thing, it has once again aroused the covetousness of some people."

After hearing this, Old Xiao gave Old Qiu a disdainful look and said in a stern tone, "What are you afraid of? Now is the age when everyone participates in dungeons. Who doesn't have some abilities? The city lord is just more powerful than others."

Then, he changed the subject and continued, "Besides, as the saying goes, 'One who has eaten the food should be grateful, and one who has received the gift should be soft-handed.' As long as we provide a little correct guidance from the perspective of ideology, and let the people clearly understand who has given them everything they enjoy, then the problem will naturally be solved!"

Boss Qiu nodded slightly in agreement. "Yes, Political Commissar Liao will be delivering an important speech on television today. Our country has decided to implement further management measures for all players. After all, the previous measures were too lax."

As he spoke, he frowned slightly, seeming to be quite dissatisfied with the previous situation.

At this moment, Guan Lao happened to come over and heard what Qiu Lao Da said. He interrupted without hesitation:

"Don't worry! I heard the system has already dealt with several people directly and decisively. And they were killed in front of everyone on the street. I guess this explosive news will spread everywhere soon!"

Meanwhile, Old Xiao, who was sitting nearby, took a leisurely sip of his teacup and said, "Once our independently developed and built space station is successfully launched, those foreigners who want to yell and accuse us will have to shut up!"

He put down the teacup in his hand, his eyes revealing full of confidence and pride.

While everyone was talking, they heard a burst of hurried footsteps coming from afar.

It turned out to be the cute little Pomelo running into the house, shouting, "Grandpa Hua, there's a car outside to pick us up. Let's go to the restaurant and enjoy a delicious lunch!"

Seeing this, Hua Lao couldn't help but smile and reached out to touch Xiao Youzi's round belly and joked, "Oh my, look at how bloated your belly is. Can you still eat lunch?"

After hearing this, Xiao Youzi quickly tightened her belly and replied coquettishly, "Of course, I can even drink some delicious soup!"

At this time, the well-behaved Xiaoyi also slowly slid into the house behind Xiaoyouzi.

Her clear and sweet voice, like a silver bell, rang out: "Lunch time is here, grandpas, let's hurry up and head to the restaurant!"

As soon as he finished speaking, several elderly people stood up with smiles on their faces, walked out of the house together and walked towards the car parked outside the door, ready to go to the restaurant to enjoy a sumptuous lunch.

...

Large restaurant

When Ah Cai saw Village Chief Rong in the distance, a bright smile immediately broke out on her face and she couldn't help but quicken her pace.

Her heart was filled with deep respect and affection for this venerable old man. After all, they had not seen each other for a full hundred years, and the feeling of longing surged into her heart like a tide.

When she reached the village chief, Ah Cai enthusiastically called out, "Hello, village chief!"

The sound was clear and loud, as if to convey the joy to the entire village.

Village Chief Rong, upon hearing Ah Cai's greeting, also smiled widely and responded repeatedly, "Hello, it's been a few days since we last met. Ah Cai, did you just get back from your mission? You look so energetic, I bet you did an excellent job on this mission!"

As he spoke, he looked Acai up and down, his eyes revealing concern and admiration.

Ah Cai smiled and nodded, then walked closer to Village Chief Rong and asked curiously, "Grandpa Village Chief, why do I feel like you're particularly excited today? Is there something big and happy happening in the village?"

After hearing this, Village Chief Rong burst into laughter. His already rosy face glowed even redder, and he looked very happy.

He said excitedly, "That's right! Over a thousand veterans have come to our village. They've all brought their families and children with them. And, the elementary school we built earlier can finally be put into use!"

Uncle Dajiang, who was standing nearby, couldn't help but smile as well, saying with emotion, "Alas, those young people moved their household registrations away one after another. I was really worried that only old people like us and children would be left in the village.

Who would have thought that someone would actually look up to our place? Now that this sanatorium has opened, so many veterans have come all of a sudden, and our village is finally bustling again!"

After saying this, he clapped his hands gently, as if trying to express his inner joy.

Old Mrs. Wang held her adorable granddaughter's hand tightly, a kind smile on her face. She echoed the others, "That's right! This child doesn't even want to stray a few steps from home. She's just looking forward to school starting soon so she can come back to our place."

Ah Cai stood aside, quietly watching the old lady smiling and talking to others, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart, is such a warm and happy scene just because she is holding the hand of this well-behaved little granddaughter beside her?

Ah Cai took out a colorful and beautifully wrapped lollipop from her pocket and shook it gently, trying to attract the little girl's attention.

She teased Old Lady Wang's granddaughter with a smile on her face and asked softly, "Little darling, tell me, what's your name?"

The little girl blinked her big, watery eyes, raised her chubby face, and answered in a baby voice, "Wu Zhaoyi."

Upon hearing this answer, Ah Cai was stunned for a moment, muttering to herself: What? Wu Zhaoyi?

No way... Could it be that the parents of this little girl are so bold as to give their child a name that is the same as the famous Wu Zetian in history?

Just as Ah Cai was about to open her mouth in surprise, Old Lady Wang hurried forward and explained apologetically, "Oh, Ah Cai, don't get me wrong. It's 'Wu Chaoyi'. This child is still young and speaks a little unclearly. She's definitely not the majestic empress!"

After hearing this, Ah Cai breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from her forehead. She muttered to herself with lingering fear, "Oh my god, I was really scared! I thought this little girl's parents were so brave, but it turns out they just have a similar pronunciation."

After saying that, she quickly handed the tempting lollipop in her hand to the little girl's chubby little hand, then turned around and hurriedly ran to help Tong Jiajiu carry the food tray.

The restaurant gradually became lively and people came in one after another.

They either travel in groups of three or five, or walk alone and leisurely.

As soon as you enter the door, you can hear bursts of laughter and pleasant conversations intertwined together, as if forming a cheerful symphony.

Uncle Dajiang walked to the TV very consciously and pressed the power button of the remote control skillfully.

As the screen lit up, he began to adjust the channel, ready to watch the news program that he must watch every noon.
