203: Chapter 202: Seeking Help at the Door 203: Chapter 202: Seeking Help at the Door Look at them, giggling as they co back, Qin Jian casually asked, “What were you doing out so late?”
“We went to buy so stuff in the village,” Tian Niu lied off the cuff.
“Accompany for a night run!”
“No, no, no, I’m really tired today, want to sleep early.” Just finished so tiring work, can’t be with Qin at this ti.
His eyes are like Sun Wukong’s fiery gaze, a few blinks and he knows what you’re thinking.
“You, sleeping early?
That’s rare!” Qin Jian remarked, his gaze sweeping over the warriors following Tian Niu, “And you?”
“Qin, we’re tired too.”
“Rest up early then,” Qin Jian left that remark and walked out with a towel slung around his neck.
Lin Chen watched Qin Jian’s retreating figure and couldn’t help but sigh, “Qin’s energy is really sothing!
Working during the day, and night running in the evening!”
……………
Early next morning, Qin Jian and the others had just gathered, ready to assemble the equipnt on the school’s playground, after roughly installing it, they planned to transport it up the mountain.
No sooner had he given a few instructions, the village chief ca running over.
“Qin, I need to talk to you about sothing.”
Qin Jian signaled to Jian Ying to continue speaking for him, then stepped out to talk to the village chief, “Uncle Wang, you wanted to see for sothing?”
After stuffing so tobacco into his dry pipe and lighting it, the village chief spoke, “There were ghost disturbances in the village last night.”
“Ghost disturbances?” Qin Jian paused, then replied with a faint smile, “Where do ghosts exist in this world?
I’m an atheist!”
“Don’t be a disbeliever,” the chief took a deep drag and slowly exhaled two smoke rings, “Yesterday, Old Song’s wife and daughter saw it.
Oh, I an Song Jincai’s wife and daughter.”
Qin Jian shook his head with a smile, “Uncle Wang, I don’t believe it.
Just tell what you want from .”
“Well, yes!
It’s like this, I want all of you to move back to the village.
After all, you all are mature n with strong yang energy, you could suppress the village’s malicious yin energy!” explained the village chief.
Qin Jian laughed heartily, “Uncle Wang, we’re here to work, not to exorcise spirits.
Besides, there are no ghosts in this world, we don’t believe in ghosts and gods.
Moreover, it’s been quite an effort to settle everyone down; if we were to move again, it might delay the progress of our work.”
Seeing Qin Jian reluctant to agree, the village chief tried to persuade him, “Qin Jian, look, you are all college-educated intellectuals, isn’t that right?
Why don’t you stay in the village to see for yourselves?
There are fewer people who have gone to school in the village, less knowledgeable, and everyone is talking about ghost spirits!
Stay for a few days, see if they really exist, and explain it to them!”
“Uncle Wang, that’s not the issue,” Qin Jian thought about how to explain it to him.
“Why not?
Jianzi, just tell if you’ll go or not?” the village chief pressed, waiting for Qin Jian’s response.
“Village Chief Wang, if you want to catch ghosts, don’t you need an exorcist?” Jian Ying, after having assigned the work, letting them start assembling the equipnt, overheard Village Chief Wang and Qin Jian’s conversation and chid in to help defuse the situation.
With that suggestion, the village chief imdiately felt he was barking up the wrong tree, “That’s right.
What you said makes sense, I should go find Half Immortal.”
So, he bade farewell to Qin Jian and shuffled off, muttering to himself.
“True to your nickna, Jian Fox,” Qin Jian raised an eyebrow at Jian Ying, “but you’re an intellectual and a Party mber, aren’t you promoting feudal superstitious beliefs here?”
“Haha,” Jian Ying laughed, “This is called teaching according to their aptitude!
Clearly, my words are more effective.
Otherwise, were you really going to drag the team to the village?”
Qin Jian nodded, “Indeed.
Such beliefs aren’t ford in a day, nor can they be dispelled in a day.
But…
what’s this about a ghost disturbance?”
