104 Four-tailed

He then added, "It's so much better than before. The big bosses have sent people to hunt down the wild beasts. The rent is distributed according to the harvest, and if there's a natural disaster and the crops don't turn out well, there's no rent to pay."

Moreover, at dawn, an adult arranges a carriage to take us there. We return in the evening. There's a simple pavilion there where we can rest and boil some hot water.

As they were talking, a middle-aged man dressed in the same earth-colored clothes, looking quite energetic, hurriedly picked up a wooden bucket from his hands and rushed over from the carriage.

The woman selling sesame cakes quickly called out, "Wait!" and then rushed over, stuffing the wrapped cake into the man's arms.

The older sister said softly, "Rest when you're tired. You don't need to plant so many." The man nodded and quickly left.

The older woman returned to her stall. A child, about four or five years old, wearing a gray jacket over a dark children's shirt and a plain dark robe, with clean cloth shoes, was about to come over to help knead the dough.

"No need for help, your father has already prepared it. Hurry up and eat the flatbread and porridge on the table, then go to school with your friends. Be quick on the way there and back, and don't run around, understand?"

The child's innocent yet sensible voice quickly replied, "Okay, I understand. I'll fetch some water first. There's food at the school, Mother, you eat first." Then he ran inside.

The eldest sister, regaining her composure, said to Wei Qinghui, "Please excuse my rudeness, young lady. Here, have a sesame seed cake!"

Wei Qinghui accepted the sesame seed cake, then took out a tael of silver. The elder sister declined, saying politely, "No need, consider it my treat, young lady."

When Sister Hong saw this, she stepped forward and bought two more, paying twelve copper coins. One qian of silver was probably worth about 100 wen, so it was difficult to get change!

Upon seeing this, the elder sister firmly accepted only eight coins. She said, "It's on me, young lady." It was rare to see such a bright and beautiful young lady with such an extraordinary temperament, who was willing to talk to someone as rough as herself!

Then, while selling sesame cakes, he said, "My sesame cakes taste pretty good, don't they? This market is bustling with people now. It's all thanks to the officials. Now I only have to pay taxes monthly. If I pay taxes for a year, there's even a discount. It's only 30%, and without other miscellaneous taxes, this small business is much more stable."

Seeing that Wei Qinghui wasn't impatient, he continued, "We all secretly hope, 'Heaven, bless you with a long and healthy life! You've even opened a free school; my two little rascals go to learn some characters whenever they have free time, so their future will be a little easier!'"

"Five sesame seed cakes, please!" a rough voice called out. A middle-aged man with his jacket open approached, his face beaming with joy. He had thick arms and legs, a dark complexion, and looked incredibly strong.

As the eldest sister finished wrapping the sesame cakes, she said with a smile, "Third brother, you've struck it rich! Buying so many. Or are some family members visiting?"

At this moment, the third brother blushed, and then quickly became very proud, stretching out his strong and powerful arms!

He whispered, "Hehe, I passed the police station's recruitment exam a few days ago, and unexpectedly, a matchmaker came knocking on my door in less than two days—a beautiful young woman with a child! What a match made in heaven! Hehe! From today onwards, I'm a married man."

After saying that, he paid the money and left with light steps and a smug look on his face.

'These three guys are something else, but they're strong and decent people, so it's possible they'll end up in the police station.'

Wei Qinghui saw that the burly man from before was indeed very strong, but he hadn't reached the higher levels. Hearing her elder sister's words, she asked, "Elder sister, is it difficult to enter this security post?"

As she kneaded the dough, she added the chopped vegetable filling, skillfully wrapped it up, and placed it on a flatbread. She said, "This police station, first and foremost, needs people with clean records, clear and honest backgrounds. Those who have already passed the initial screening are even better, but we don't have that many. So we need people who are strong, have good stamina, can endure hardship, and aren't afraid of getting tired."

Many people are scrambling to get in; the benefits are great. These three guys are incredibly strong, and I've never heard of anyone trying to set them up with a partner before. They just joined the police station, and someone has already beaten them to it. 'He said this with obvious envy.'

They chatted for a long time. Then, Wei Qinghui said goodbye and left. The three of them continued to stroll around.

The sky was bright. Gradually, I saw children ranging from four or five years old to six or seven. The older children were leading the younger ones, boys and girls, all carrying the same style of shoulder bag, mostly in dark colors: blue, black, and cyan!

They walked happily toward the school. Behind them, adults watched from afar until the children stepped into the school.

Not far from the school gate, two strong, muscular men dressed in police patrol uniforms, with ordinary iron knives at their waists, were patrolling the area.

Wei Qinghui, in this small town, in this world, thought to herself, 'The children in Weijia Village should also be able to live like this.'

He Chen slept soundly, exhausted from fighting last night. Mentally tired, but physically not at all. You have to experience it all; you only know what life is like after you've been there.

Suddenly, something tickled my nose. The instant I opened my eyes, it was like a large tail flashing by.

When he woke up, he saw Rou Rou and Wan Qing secretly laughing! They noticed He Chen had looked over. He turned his eyes away, pretending not to know. A slight smile played on his lips, clearly indicating he couldn't resist.

Both of them had already changed their clothes. However, they were only wearing a rather ill-fitting gray linen outfit. It was too big, and the way it clung to their bodies only accentuated their curves!

"What did I just see? A big tail?" He Chen asked uncertainly.

"Sir, are you seeing things?" Wanqing blushed and said immediately.

Rou Rou also said, "The adults are just too tired, that's why their eyes are blurry."

He reached out and pulled them both into his arms! They nestled together on either side. He wrapped his arms around their waists and carefully searched them. He asked in surprise, "Where is it? I clearly saw it."

The two women blushed instantly. They said in sweet voices, "My lord, we really don't."

'Let me see, just let me see!'

Then, four large, fluffy tails appeared. A gentle stroke, and the beauty instantly collapsed into his arms. She whispered, "My lord!"

The Sky-Covering Array activated again. Outside, all was silent; inside, sounds arose. Long tails fluttered! An hour later! The sounds subsided!

Half an hour later, the three arrived at the cave entrance. By this time, the two had changed their clothes—clothes they found in their spatial rings.

Wanqing was dressed in an exquisitely tailored pink shirt, black high-waisted trousers, and black furry boots!

Rou Rou was dressed in a black and white casual outfit with a low-cut collar!

They were both languidly leaning against each other, looking content and not wanting to move!

He gently lifted the two of them to prevent them from falling, holding them tighter and tighter! They stood close together, suspended in mid-air, their footwork flowing, traversing the air!

Rou Rou and Wan Qing were exhausted, but seeing the cliff below them as they crossed the river, they were still a little scared, screaming loudly and clinging tightly to each other around the waist.

He Chen covered a thousand feet in one step, quickly flying towards Wanjiazhuang to check on the aftermath!
