His appearance looked even more malevolent.

Wu Lili was also getting anxious. She had taken a liking to him, but Feng Chao really didn't like her.

"Xiaoyu, you can't say things like that. My relationship with Teacher Feng is completely innocent!"

"What, you can make fun of me all you want, but I can't even crack a joke?"

She said with a smile, and at this moment the surrounding crowd began to talk.

"I knew it! This educated youth Wu always seemed so gentle and weak, and she always sidled up with Teacher Feng when we were working. Now I know why!"

"That's right, that's right. Teacher Feng always helps my little girl with her homework. Does that mean she likes my little girl?"

The person speaking was younger; her daughter was only eight years old.

"That's right! My dog, Sheng, almost fell into the river last time, and it was Teacher Feng who happened to be passing by and saved him!"

Everyone was talking at once, praising Feng Chao's frequent help to the villagers, making it seem as if Wu Lili was deliberately picking a fight.

"I didn't! I didn't!"

This time, Wu Lili didn't need to force tears; she was already on the verge of crying herself.

In this day and age, a girl's reputation is more important than anything else.

Wu Lili glanced at everyone, covered her face in shame and indignation, and ran straight to her residence.

Of course, her residence was Lin Qingyu's house.

Everyone was just watching the show; no one had the time to meddle in other people's business, and they all dispersed laughing and joking.

Suddenly, a child appeared out of nowhere and called out, "Brother Gu Shi! Are you still taking us to the mountain to collect bird eggs today?"

Upon hearing this, the departing crowd quickened their pace, none of them wanting to get too close to the village's elusive ghost, and they also took their children home with them.

"You still dare to run up the mountain? Aren't you afraid of being carried off by wolves? Hurry home!"

Gu Shi, who had just finished his work and returned home, hadn't even said a word when he quickly disappeared from sight, leaving only a disheveled Lin Qingyu behind.

There were still some congealed bloodstains on her forehead, which looked quite terrifying.

But Gu Shi showed no sign of distress. He walked straight over, frowned, and asked, "Do you need any help?"

Gu Shi was a veteran who had returned home. He was used to shaving his head, leaving only short stubble, which made his face look even fiercer.

He recognized Lin Qingyu; he had seen her lively and energetic that morning, discussing matters with Wu Zhiqing, but she had changed so much in just half a day.

Lin Qingyu originally wanted to refuse him, but if she went to the village clinic by herself, she would probably be dying soon, so she spoke with some distance.

"Then I'll have to trouble you!"
