Seeing that Qi Fei insisted, the youth team leader didn't try to persuade her anymore. After confirming several times that her hand injury was nothing serious, he went to eat, looking back every few steps.

After closing the door again, Qifei resumed chatting with the system.

[You said the Shura I've seen these past two days has been normal, so why are some people calling him a village bully?]

This is something that Kirihi really can't understand.

She had subtly inquired beforehand and found that everyone lowered their voices considerably when the name Shura was mentioned.

Moreover, everyone looks terrified when Shura is mentioned, as if Shura might appear and harm them at any moment.

This struck Qifei as odd.

Based on her interactions with him over the past two days, he's just a bit cold-hearted and intimidating when he's not talking, but otherwise, he's nothing special.

The system doesn't seem to care much about Qifei, which is a bit speechless.

She didn't think anything of it, but others might not.

No one dared to speak after seeing Shura's gaze sweep over them; many people unconsciously shrank back, as if afraid that Shura would target them.

This is enough to show that Shura is definitely not as harmless as Qifei appears on the surface, just a cold-hearted person.

However, it didn't say this in front of Qifei, suspecting that Qifei wouldn't care even if it did.

Since the goal is to conquer the main god anyway, and all kinds of hosts need to be conquered, why bother with anything else?

After eating, the educated youth quickly rested for a while before returning to work.

They are not as good at working as the villagers to begin with. If they don't finish their work and drag the whole team down, they will definitely be even less popular.

Qifei arrived at the field on time in the afternoon. There were already people working in the field. The sooner the work in the field was finished, the sooner it would be over.

Qifei had originally thought she would see Shura again in the afternoon, but everyone had arrived and there was no sign of him.

Fortunately, Shura had already helped Qifei turn over most of the land she needed to turn over in the morning, leaving only a little bit.

Although Qifei didn't plan to have Shura continue to help in the afternoon, she still felt strange not seeing him.

By the time she had finished turning over all the soil, some people had already finished their work.

She quickened her pace, caught up with an older woman, chatted with her for a few words, and casually mentioned something.

"Aunt Niu, why didn't I see Xiu Luo this afternoon? I was going to thank him properly for helping me this morning."

Aunt Niu looked around and said to Qi Fei in a low voice, "He doesn't come every day. He often doesn't show up for ten days or half a month at a time. It's all normal."

"Huh? Why?" Qifei blinked her big eyes, her eyes full of confusion.

"Who knows? He's a ruthless man. Who cares about that?" Aunt Niu curled her lip dismissively.

Qifei asked a few more questions, but seeing that she couldn't get any information out of her, she stopped talking about Shura and turned to chat with Aunt Niu about other things.

Along the way, she was bombarded with gossip from the villagers by Aunt Niu, but she couldn't recognize many of them, since she had only been there for two days and hadn't figured out who was who yet.

However, Aunt Niu said that conflicts often arose in their educated youth settlement, sometimes even escalating to the village committee, which frequently needed to mediate.

Qifei had been there for two days and hadn't noticed any conflicts at the educated youth settlement.

Everyone gets up and works, then goes back and rests. How can there be time to have conflicts?

She was a little worried because she hadn't been able to find any information about Shura.

After returning the farm tools, Qifei first went to borrow some food rations, but not much, just a little.

It wasn't that she thought she wouldn't be able to pay it back when the time came, but rather that she ate very little to begin with, and she also thought that if she could successfully win over Shura, maybe she could marry him.

Once you get married, you won't have to eat at the educated youth settlement anymore.

Qifei felt that she had made a brilliant plan; she should really think things through carefully.

The rations were sent back to the educated youth settlement first. The other educated youths looked rather displeased when they saw the rations that Qifei had brought.

This is all there is, not even enough for a few meals, but it's still grain, so we reluctantly accepted it and put it together with the other grains.

Qi Fei left with the words, "I'm not eating here tonight," and ran out, which eased the tension among the other educated youth at the settlement.

They were naturally very welcoming since the food rations were handed over and the food wasn't eaten here.

Who wouldn't be happy to eat one more bite of rice?

Qifei headed towards Xiuluo's house after leaving the educated youth settlement. She wanted to know why Xiuluo hadn't come to work that afternoon. Could he have encountered some danger?

The more she imagined it, the more serious the situation seemed, and the more serious the expression on Qifei's face became.

The system couldn't help but say, "[Host, perhaps the Asura God simply had other matters to attend to this afternoon? You don't need to scare yourself unnecessarily.]"

Qifei's expression was as if the Asura God had already died, making it unable to resist offering a word of advice.

"I'm worried because I haven't seen him." Qi Fei frowned. He was fine in the morning, so there's no reason for him to disappear in the afternoon.

Something must have happened, Qifei firmly believed in her own thoughts.

Moreover, she felt that Shura was not the kind of person who would give up halfway through something.

He said he would help her with the work, but he didn't come back until the work in the fields was finished. Qifei felt that this was unreasonable.

Although she had only known him for two short days, she had a gut feeling that Shura wasn't that kind of person.

The Shura family lived in a relatively remote part of the village. It was already sunset, and the sun was still casting its last rays.

From the outside, the Shura family's conditions didn't look very good. Although they had a yard, the fence was made of wood, which made it seem unsafe.

"Comrade Shura, are you home?" Qifei knocked on the door, but no one answered after a long time.

Qifei looked around, then reached into the courtyard gate and opened it from the outside.

They must have locked the door from the inside when they left.

Qifei walked into the courtyard, but the door to the house was locked.

The wind rustled through the leaves, and occasionally a dog barked.

Shura pushed open the courtyard gate and strode in. Suddenly, he paused, his aura changed, and he gripped the dagger at his waist.

When he saw the person sleeping by the door, he paused, slowly released his grip, and stood there somewhat at a loss.

He never expected that Qifei would fall asleep sitting at his doorstep.

When Qifei was woken up, she was still a little dazed. When she saw Xiu Luo's face, she instinctively threw herself into his arms, muttering, "I'm so sleepy."

Shura, who had originally planned to wake her up and send her back, suddenly froze.

His whole body stiffened, and he didn't know where to put his hands.

Seeing Qifei asleep in his arms, he couldn't help but frown and help her up. "Comrade Qifei, wake up."

Qifei, who was woken up again, pouted in dissatisfaction and rubbed her eyes. "What's wrong? I want to sleep."

"I'll take you back to the educated youth settlement to sleep." Xiu Luo pursed her lips; if she slept here tonight, her reputation would be ruined.
