#25Chapter 25: New Leader of Hongshan Village
Uncle Shen Er's adobe house has a hidden door.
A faint light floated out from the crack in the door, dyeing the white snow with a faint orange brilliance.
Shanwa walked over one step ahead of Shen Qing, opened the door and shouted, "Master, Brother Qingzi is here."
Suddenly, the sound of a chair scraping against the ground and getting up was heard in the room.
Shen Qing followed Shanwa closely and stepped in with one foot.
When he walked into the house, he found that his uncle Shen Er was not the only one in the house.
Several elders of the Shen family in Hongshan Village, Tian Xiaohu from the Tian family, Zhang Baoqing from the Zhang family and other well-known hunters from the village were all there.
When they saw Shen Qing walking in, they all looked at the door, focused their eyes on Shen Qing, and stood up one after another.
Facing these people, Shen Qing did not show any pressure. He walked in without changing their expression despite their gazes.
Shen Er's eyes were complicated at this time and he said: "Qingzi, are you here?"
"Well." Shen Qing stepped forward and asked curiously: "Today's affairs are almost over. I wonder what uncle wanted to do when he called me here?"
"We all feel that we need to discuss some things further, so please sit down first."
Tian Xiaohu was very discerning and pulled out a chair and placed it in the chief position.
This detail fell into Shen Er's eyes, making his heart even more mixed for a while.
Shen Qing didn't feel any embarrassment and sat in the chief position openly.
Seeing him take a seat, the others sat down individually, and there was a vague sense that he was the leader.
But no one thought it was inappropriate.
They could clearly see everything Shen Qing did today.
That ferocious look still makes them frightened.
It is precisely because of this fierceness that yesterday Shen Qing was just a submissive little hunter in the village. Today, he has become a prominent figure in the village, dominating everyone.
The light beans on the oil lamp were disturbed by the air flow and became trance-like.
The shadows of the people around them cast by the oil lamps also swayed, floating left and right.
After everyone's shadows in the room stabilized, Shen Er said: "Now that Qingzi is here, let's start talking directly."
After scanning everyone one by one, his eyes finally landed on Shen Qing's face and said: "Today, the main thing is about the new situation in Hongshan Village. Everyone wants to ask Qingzi for your opinion."
"The new trick in Hongshan Village?" Shen Qing frowned.
The so-called hunter is the leader of the hunters in a village.
This position may not be important, but it is indispensable even if it is not important.
The mountains in this world are not safe, and the mountaineers who rely on the mountains to make a living are in various dangers from time to time.
In every village that relies on hunting for a living, a leader will be selected to lead them hunting to increase the survival rate.
Although Chen Youguang was just a fisherman in Hongshan Village, he was actually a well-known hunter when he was young.
He created many safe hunting areas for the villagers and helped the villagers avoid many risks.
A middle-aged man with thick eyebrows and big eyes looked at Shen Qing and said seriously: "Chen Youguang used to be the leader of Hongshan Village. Now that he is dead, this position will naturally be vacant. There are many conflicts, large and small, in this village. We have to have someone take over to avoid big mistakes in the future."
Shen Qing looked over after hearing this.
He has an impression of this person.
It's Zhang Baoqing from the Zhang family.
He has good hunting skills and often stands up for the Zhang family. He is also a prestigious hunter in Hongshan Village.
The Zhang family has never been targeted by Chen Youguang and others, and this person's contribution is indispensable.
Shen Qing pondered for a while and asked, "Do you have any suitable candidates?"
After a few words and seeing everyone's behavior, he probably figured out what the people present were thinking.
Today, everyone in the Chen family was killed, and it was all because of him.
The strength revealed during the process really shocked them and made them a little afraid.
Otherwise, given his qualifications and prestige in the village, the matter of chasing the villain would not be discussed with him.
In addition, after killing the Chen family, these people's families have more or less benefited from it.
Therefore, their view of themselves is not only fearful, but also a little "respect" in it.
Only when everyone is sitting at the same table can we be so harmonious.
Zhang Baoqing showed a friendly smile and said in a sincere tone: "I think, Qingzi, you are strong enough to take on the position of being the king of the mountain."
"What do you think?" Shen Qing's gaze shifted from Zhang Baoqing to the others.
"Bao Qing is right, Qing Zi, I am convinced, and I support you being the kingpin."
"I support it too."
"..."
Several others, including Tian Xiaohu, also spoke out in support.
Shen Qing smiled and refused: "I am still young and do not have much prestige in the village. I am afraid it will be difficult to convince the public."
Uncle Shen Er was very surprised by Shen Qing's decision and advised: "Age is not a problem. As long as you think about it, I think everyone will support you."
"To tell you the truth, I think I have some strength, and killing people is not an issue, but I have no experience in dealing with things in the village. I can't do this job."
Shen Qing sat on the chair and shook his head gently, his mind wandering.
On the one hand, he now wants to practice archery, hunting, and read and write. On the other hand, he also plans to go to the city to practice martial arts.
These are enough for him to toss.
He no longer has much energy to distract himself from this "catch the mountain".
And in his opinion, this "mountain-driving boss" has a low cost-effectiveness.
In addition to the gains from hunting goods and the prestige in the village, there are not many other tangible benefits.
Instead of tossing around in the village, it is better to find a way to make money, go to the county town to practice martial arts as soon as possible, and become a superior person.
Why be so short-sighted, stay in this mountain valley, and be tied down by this little profit?
Shen Qing smiled, observed for a while and said: "I wonder if you have no other suitable candidates?"
As he said, his eyes slowly fell on Zhang Baoqing.
He has lived two lives, and he is still sensitive in dealing with people.
He vaguely realized that Zhang Baoqing was very interested in this mountain-driving boss.
Since he didn't want it, he might as well do a favor and exchange it for something he needed at the moment.
Everyone at the table looked at each other, and they were all very surprised.
Shen Qing's refusal disrupted their original plan, and they didn't know how to reply for a while.
Seeing that no one spoke, Shen Qing looked at Zhang Baoqing meaningfully and said, "I think Uncle Zhang is very suitable. What do you think?"
Sure enough, when Shen Qing said this, Zhang Baoqing's calm face showed a burst of joy.
Even though he thought he had concealed it well, Shen Qing still saw it.
Shen Qing knew that what happened next was almost certain.
