Xu Chongshan was in the courtyard, sharpening a sickle.
He had gone up the mountain with Leng Yuan the day before, and when he saw a wild pheasant, he'd thrown his sickle at it.
The pheasant must have been scared stiff, as it froze on the spot. His sickle ended up smashing against a nearby rock.
It had left a nasty chip in the blade, and now he was trying to grind it out.
When Yun Hao reached the entrance to Village Chief Xu's home and saw the main gate standing open, a mocking glint appeared in his eyes.
He paused for a moment before stepping into the courtyard.
Hearing the sound, Xu Chongshan turned his head and saw Yun Hao enter.
His dad had told him that morning that Yun Hao would be coming over today.
Xu Chongshan didn't know why, but upon seeing Yun Hao, he quickly called out, "Dad, Yun Hao's here!"
Then, he turned to Yun Hao.
"Just wait a minute. My dad will be right out. You can tell him whatever it is you've come for."
