After dinner, Li Yun opened the gate and saw the village chief and the villagers standing on both sides of the gate.
"Uncle Village Chief, why didn't you call me when you came? You were just standing here waiting." Li Yun said to the village chief embarrassedly.
"We just arrived, and since we thought you were having breakfast, we won't disturb you," explained the village chief.
"I'll call my father out and take us to reclaim the wasteland. Let's start with the wasteland west of the village today. Sorry to bother you all, but it shouldn't be difficult to reclaim that wasteland." Li Yun said to the villagers.
"It's not a bother, Chen Ye's family. We would like to thank you for allowing us to earn wages." The villagers said to Li Yun in unison.
Soon, Chen Mo also came out and took the village chief and villagers to reclaim the wasteland west of the village.
Li Yun watched them leave, carried the backpack, said goodbye to Qin Lanlan, Dabao, Erbao and Sanbao, and walked towards the village entrance.
When I reached the village entrance, the oxcart had already left, so I had no choice but to walk to Southeast Town. The thought of having to walk such a long distance made my legs weak.
It seems I need to buy an oxcart. I'll be going to Southeast Town and the county seat frequently, and I can't always rely on an oxcart. What if, like today, I don't have an oxcart and need an emergency? Having an oxcart is more convenient, so I can go anytime.
In this way, Li Yun put the ox cart in the first place.
I walked along resignedly, thinking about buying an ox cart, but I didn't expect to see a horse carriage following behind.
Shangguan Feiyun looked at the woman in front of him with his head lowered, not knowing what he was thinking. He was so engrossed in his thoughts that he didn't even realize he had been following her for a long time.
"Madam Li, you are so engrossed in your thoughts that you didn't even notice I was following you. Don't you know it's dangerous to walk on the road with your head down? If it were someone else today, Madam Li would probably have been hurt." Shangguan Feiyun said to Li Yun angrily. He himself didn't understand why he felt that way. It seemed like he didn't know her very well.
Ever since he followed Li Yun to her home in Qingshan Village last time, he knew she wasn't someone arranged by his opponent, and his mood had inexplicably improved. Her presence would appear from time to time, making him very uneasy. He had been staying at home all this time, not going out, just because he was afraid of running into her.
Today, I planned to go out and do something. Unexpectedly, as soon as I got out of the main road, I saw her walking alone on the road, hurriedly driving a carriage towards me. I thought I would be discovered by her soon, and even made an excuse, she didn't notice that there was a carriage following behind.
Suddenly, a nameless anger surged up and was directed at her.
Li Yun heard the sound and looked back.
"Shit!"
The carriage had come up behind him, almost hitting him. Li Yun was so frightened that his heartbeat accelerated. If it had been a bad guy, he would probably have been lying on the ground.
My safety knowledge is still very weak. I should take this as a lesson in the future. I should not think about things while on the road. Safety comes first.
"Mr. Shangguan, are you going to the town? Thank you for showing mercy and not letting the horse rush over. I will make way for you immediately." After saying this, Li Yun walked away to the left, making way for the carriage to pass.
"Madam Li, do you want to go to the town too? Otherwise, I'll give you a ride. If you walk like this, I don't know how long it will take to reach Southeast Town." Shangguan Feiyun felt sorry for Li Yun when he saw her walking. If she walked like this, it would take her a long time. So he invited Li Yun to get on the carriage and he would give her a ride.
"No need, Mr. Shangguan, I can walk. No need to trouble you." Li Yun didn't want to ride in Shangguan Feiyun's carriage. She knew that this person was very dangerous and his identity was unknown.
From what she saw today, it seemed he was intentionally approaching her, otherwise the carriage wouldn't have gotten so close. She didn't hear the sudden brakes, indicating the horses were slowly approaching her. This puzzled her. She was just an ordinary village woman. What was there in her that warranted such a rich and handsome man to approach her? She didn't think it was because of lust, that a man with a face that even ghosts would fear would covet her.
There must be some purpose or conspiracy, but Li Yun couldn't figure out what it was.
Just when Li Yun was confused, Shangguan Feiyun's voice rang out.
"Madam Li, when did you become so timid that you dare not even go to my house and get in the carriage? Or are you afraid of what others will say about you, so you get in a strange man's carriage?
I thought Madam Li was special, not as shy as those other women. It seems I'm not overthinking it anymore. Madam Li is just like them." Seeing Li Yun refuse, Shangguan Feiyun immediately resorted to provoking him, wanting to see what he would do.
"Mr. Shangguan, there is no need to use provocation. It has no effect on me. I am a person who does not respond to any persuasion. I just do what I like to do. No matter what others say or do, it is useless. I am really sorry to disappoint you this time." Li Yun looked at Shangguan Feiyun with interest, wondering what he would do next.
"I didn't expect Madam Li to be so sharp-tongued. I really admire her. Madam Li, you don't have to be on guard against me like this. I have no ill intentions. I just want to make friends with Madam Li." Shangguan Feiyun was cursing Li Yun in his heart, "You damn woman! I was so kind as to let her ride in the carriage so that she wouldn't have to walk so hard, but she treated him as a bad person. It's really true that my kindness goes unrewarded."
"I admire your mother!" Li Yun cursed Shangguan Feiyun in his heart, but rolled his eyes.
Li Yun didn't know Shangguan Feiyun's thoughts, otherwise he would have given him a slap on the head. "Are you being kind? Kindness is what allows the carriage to pass so close to her. Aren't you afraid the horses will get spooked and run over her, trampling her to the ground? He's not being kind, he's trying to murder her, okay?"
Li Yun ignored Shangguan Feiyun and continued walking towards Dongnan Town. She hoped that Shangguan Feiyun, the plague god, would leave quickly. She didn't want to see this annoying person again.
Unfortunately, the wish was not fulfilled, and Shangguan Feiyun kept following behind.
Shangguan Feiyun seemed not to notice Li Yun's impatience and kept following closely behind.
This made Li Yun furious, but there was nothing she could do. The road was not hers alone, and others could walk freely on it. As long as it did not harm her, she could not say anything. She could only endure it silently and treat him as air.
Shanggong Feiyun drove the carriage slowly and leisurely behind Li Yun. In the eyes of others, they would mistakenly think that the couple was having a conflict and her husband was protecting them.
Li Yun walked for a while, but Shangguan Feiyun showed no intention of leaving. He was so angry that he gritted his teeth and quickened his pace.
No matter how fast Li Yun walked, Shangguan Feiyun could always follow closely behind him.
Just as the two of them were playing chase, they soon arrived at Southeast Town.
This time, Li Yun was so happy that he danced with joy and stuck out his tongue to tease Gong Feiyun.
Shangguan Feiyun looked at the cute appearance of the woman and couldn't help but reveal a doting smile. He was afraid that even he himself didn't know what he was like at the moment.
There is no need to pay population fee to enter Southeast Town, so Li Yun entered the town directly.
