Since Liu Junlan has already made the decision, there's a fear that things might change if things drag on.

The world is in a terrible state these days. If something really goes wrong with the talismans in the village, it's quite possible that something could take advantage of the situation.

So that afternoon, Zhou Jiren took Lin Wanyue back to the village.

He had walked to the county town on foot when he came here, but now that he was taking Lin Wanyue back, he found an oxcart on the street and spent fifteen copper coins to ride back to the village.

Before the oxcart even entered the village, it was spotted by sharp-eyed people working in the fields, who quickly went to the village to call for help.

"It's Wanwan, you're back, girl! Where are your grandma and parents? Why didn't they come back with you? It's almost the festival, you should come back and visit them." Old Lady Du ran very fast, getting ahead of everyone else, and helped Lin Wanyue down from the oxcart.

Since the unlucky guy in her house was driven away, she has been eating and sleeping well, and her health has improved a lot. She feels like she has lost 10 or 20 pounds, and she is also much more efficient at doing chores.

Following behind her were familiar faces from the village, each with a caring and warm smile. "Wanwan, you're back? You look like you've grown quite a bit taller."

Lin Wanyue liked hearing this.

"Wanwan, how about we have dinner at my place tonight? We caught some fish, I'll make you some fish soup, how about that?"

Lin Wanyue greeted them with a smile.

"Oh, everyone's all ready now." Since Zhou Jiren had received Liu Junlan's instructions, he felt a sense of responsibility and helped her explain to the villagers: "It's so hot in this weather. If you all come over here, don't let Wanwan get too hot. Auntie and Brother Lin are busy doing business in the city and don't have time to come over, but they specially asked me to bring some things to share with everyone."

"Oh my, I knew that kid Weiming was going to be successful. They've only been in the city for a short time, and they've already started doing business? What are they selling?" Old Lady Du said loudly, her eyes fixed on the cart.

Zhou Jiren took a heavy bamboo basket off the oxcart. Inside were dozens of portions of roasted sweet potato noodles. As soon as the dried lotus leaf packaging was opened, the aroma wafted out.

"This is called roasted sweet potato skin. Brother Lin and his wife run a shop selling this in the city, and I heard their business is booming! My aunt asked me to bring some back for you all, so please try some." Zhou Jiren gave each family a portion of roasted sweet potato skin. Although the amount was small, it was a token of his appreciation.

Of course, more importantly, he simply couldn't carry any more than that.

The villagers were all surprised that Liu Junlan would be so kind as to bring them gifts after they had troubled Lin Wanyue to come back and help the village.

"Oh, Sister Liu is too kind. It's not easy for them to earn money in the city. These things must be quite expensive, right? They smell so good." Many people said somewhat embarrassedly, "Since Wanwan is back today, why don't you stay at my house? My daughter is about the same age as her. They used to play together a lot. It would be perfect for the two girls to stay together."

Immediately, some people in the crowd began to try to win over Lin Wanyue. They had finally managed to invite this little fairy back to the village, so they had to treat her well, right?

Zhao Chunniang, who was also mingling in the crowd, was about to take the food back to heat it up for her son when she heard this. She immediately jumped up and down and said loudly, "Jiren! My house has many rooms. Why don't you let Wanwan stay with me? I will definitely take good care of her, so you don't have to worry!"

Everyone: "..."

Zhao Chunniang's intentions are as clear as day; everyone knows.

Everyone knows she wants to marry into the Lin family. She previously tried to send her son, Wang Hu, to the Lin family as a child groom, but was rejected. Now she's still not giving up.

“Aunties and madams, don’t bother with all this. Since I’m the one who brought Wanwan here, she can stay at my house tonight. It’s getting late, so take your things and head back first. As for the talismans, we’ll wait for Wanwan to come and see us tomorrow,” Zhou Jiren said.

"Why should this good thing only fall on your family, Zhou family?" Zhao Chunniang still didn't want to give up.

Fortunately, Wang Dazhu had already heard the news and rushed over. He was more perceptive than his wife and quickly pulled the person aside.

"Tsk!" Wang Dazhu said unhappily, "What nonsense are you spouting now, woman? What good or bad things do you dare to say in front of outsiders? Wanwan is back, what does that mean!"

Zhao Chunniang looked completely bewildered: "What does that mean?"

"It just means that Tiger and this girl are destined for each other! Why are you in such a hurry? Let Tiger go and show her around tomorrow. They used to play together, so how could things be any different now?" Wang Dazhu didn't want to offend the Zhou family because of this.

The Zhou family, the village head, were quite well-known in their Ning'an Village.

"Oh, oh." After being scolded by her husband, Zhao Chunniang finally became more obedient, took the food and went back to heat it up for her son.

The other villagers didn't seem to have any objections to Lin Wanyue eating at the village head's house.

"Uncle Zhou, it's still early. Why don't you take me to see where the talisman was damaged first?" Lin Wanyue said to Zhou Jiren.

The talismans in Ning'an Village are different from those elsewhere. They are modeled after the Bagua Village, which combines talismans with the terrain. This way, they have the right timing, the right place, and the right people, which can be described as complementing each other.

A talisman drawn simply on paper may be destroyed by wind and rain, but a talisman made with the terrain and using ditches as lines and ink will not be easily destroyed.

It's already afternoon, and the sun is setting in the west, but there are still some lingering rays of sunlight.

“Alright then.” Zhou Jiren thought about it and listened to Lin Wanyue’s words. He took her to see the large ditch near the village entrance that had been damaged. At the same time, he did not forget to ask someone to tell his father.

When the village head heard that Lin Wanyue had arrived, he leaned on his cane and hurried over.

When Lin Wanyue arrived at the large ditch at the village entrance, she realized that what Zhou Jiren had said was true.

There isn't actually much garbage in the village. It's not that they don't produce garbage, but rather that everything is useful to them.

Even wastewater from washing things can be used to irrigate the land.

Ning'an Village, which has experienced drought, places even greater emphasis on water resources.

Therefore, after the village's ditches were dug according to the shape Lin Wanyue described, they eventually flowed to this large area of ​​farmland at the village entrance.

However, in this very area, there are now many potholes and several areas are blocked by mud.

"..." Lin Wanyue couldn't help but frown.

"Wanwan." The village head also rushed over, slightly out of breath, and explained, "A few days ago, there was a heavy rain, and the soil on that hillside was washed away, covering this whole area... Now that the weather has cleared up, everyone came to work and found out that it seems fine, but we're worried that something might go wrong and damage the talisman, so we had to trouble you to come and take a look."
