Your bone is poking me.
Zheng Nanle approached with her hands tucked inside her pockets.
Zheng Erya dutifully introduced, "Sister, that pretty sister is an educated youth from the city named Zhang Yu. She and another educated youth, Zhao Shu, are dating."
"Zhao Shu has recently been getting close to Xie Qingmiao, the village chief's granddaughter, and wants to date her."
Zheng Nanle exclaimed, "Er Ya, you're amazing! You know everything!"
Zheng Erya pursed her lips and smiled somewhat shyly, "The old ladies and women in the village like to chat, and I just listen to them. They don't hide it from me."
Upon hearing this, Zheng Nanle patted Er Ya's head.
It's not that we don't avoid her, it's just that Er Ya is too quiet, so no one notices her.
The pretty girl was so angry with Xie Xiaowu that her face turned pale and she trembled all over. Her beautiful almond-shaped eyes were filled with rage. "You big slut, you're the slut!"
Upon hearing this, Zheng Nanle thought to himself, "Oh no, this girl isn't good at arguing. Her insults are completely harmless. If Xie Xiaowu hears this, won't he take advantage of her?"
Sure enough, Xie Xiaowu grinned, not taking it as an insult at all. "Everyone in the village knows you and Zhao Shu went into the woods. Decades ago, a woman like you wouldn't have been able to get married; she would have been thrown into the pond."
"Now that I'm willing to marry you, you can be secretly happy. You should tell the village chief that you want to marry me, or I'll report you for having an affair with Zhao Shu."
“Then go ahead and report it. I’m going to report it to the educated youth office too. Your village is bullying the educated youth.” The pretty girl was beautiful and looked delicate, but she was not weak-willed.
Xie Xiaowu was startled.
She usually doesn't dare to speak loudly, and talks to people in a soft voice, like a little rabbit, seemingly easy to manipulate. Who knew she was such a tough nut to crack?
We can't let her report this. If the village chief finds out he did this, his dad will beat him to death.
But Xie Xiaowu was unwilling to let her go.
Zhang Yu was born with fair skin. Even after living in the village for several years and sunbathing every day, her skin was still fairer than that of the villagers. In addition, she had delicate features and a pair of almond-shaped eyes that looked like they were looking into people's hearts. Xie Xiaowu had been thinking about her since the first day he saw her.
If it weren't for Zhao Shu protecting her before, and the fact that she wasn't usually alone, he would have used his methods to get her long ago.
Matters between men and women are nothing more than that; as you sleep together, feelings naturally develop.
Zhao Shu and she had finally broken up, and she came to the back mountain alone because she was heartbroken. If she missed this opportunity today, she might never have another chance.
After two years of obsession, coupled with the example of a villager in the next village who publicly embraced an educated youth and forced her to marry him, Xie Xiaowu became emboldened and pounced on Zhang Yu, saying, "You're so stubborn. Let's see if you dare to be so stubborn now that you're mine."
"ah--"
Zhang Yu screamed in fright and backed away, feeling a pang of regret for having been too relaxed.
The village chief of Liushan Village was fair and just, and there were few instances of villagers bullying educated youth from other places. On the surface, the village chief treated villagers and educated youth equally, and repeatedly emphasized that villagers were not allowed to coerce educated youth into marriage by any means.
He doesn't care if two people are in love, but if it's just one-sided love, he'll send the manipulative person to a farm.
Because of the village chief's firm stance, the educated youth were very relaxed in the village, unlike the educated youth in other villages who had to stick together when going out, for fear of being taken advantage of if they were left out.
But even the strictest laws can't stop some people from being so audacious and reckless.
Zhang Yu turned and ran. She vowed that Zhao Shu and Li Shu were no big deal, and she would never be alone again.
She had only turned halfway when she saw a dark shadow, like a tiger descending a mountain, ghostly emerge from the side.
puff--
Sounds of limbs colliding.
Aww—
Screams.
Bang--
The sound of flesh...striking heavily against the ground.
The three voices were uttered almost simultaneously and disappeared almost simultaneously.
The scene that unfolded before her was Xie Xiaowu, who was all bared his teeth and claws, being kicked in the abdomen, flying dozens of meters backward, falling to the ground, rolling several times, and falling unconscious.
Looking to her side, there was a small, thin figure standing on one leg, leaning slightly back, with the other leg stretched straight forward.
She slowly retracted her leg, stood up, and casually put her two small hands back in her pockets.
So handsome!
Zhang Yu covered her face and screamed silently.
Being handsome is a feeling, not a physical appearance.
At least for now, this thin, small person in front of her, who looked malnourished, had an aura of 2.8 meters in her mind.
She touched it, then took out a few White Rabbit candies from her bosom and stuffed them into the little girl's arm. "Er Ya, thank you."
Zhang Yu was genuinely surprised to recognize the famous "Little Cabbage" from the Zheng family; she was truly a hidden talent.
Zheng Nanle put a few candies into his pocket, took one out and put it in his mouth, waved his hand, and mumbled, "The village has produced a scoundrel, the village has let you down."
Mmm, White Rabbit is really delicious, so milky and fragrant, I'll save up some.
"What do you want to do with him?"
Zheng Nanle nodded his chin at Xie Xiaowu.
Zhang Yu stared at Xie Xiaowu with a fierce look in her eyes. After a moment, she said, "I want to tell the village chief and see how he handles it."
The village chief treated these educated youths well, so she had to give him face.
Moreover, these educated youth will be living in the village for who knows how many more years. If they bypass the village and deal with the villagers, their lives will not be easy in the future.
No matter how close they were to each other, the educated youth were always outsiders.
“Okay, then go and call the village chief.” Zheng Nanle understood Zhang Yu’s concerns and gestured for her to go first.
Zhang Yu nodded, took a couple of steps, then turned back, hugged Zheng Nanle, and ran away like a startled rabbit.
Zheng Nanle: "..."
She wasn't even startled by the sudden hug.
After watching Zhang Yu walk away, she waved to the small bamboo grove next to her.
Slowly, Lu Guangbai shuffled out, one step at a time.
He didn't even ask how Zheng Nanle had found him when he clearly saw her from afar and deliberately hid in the bamboo forest. Instead, he asked softly, "Is there something you need from me?"
"Can't I contact you if there's nothing wrong?" Zheng Nanle said, tilting his chin up.
Zheng Nanle's height only reached Lu Guangbai's chest, not even reaching his shoulders. From her angle, she could only see Lu Guangbai's chin.
She felt jealous. They were both as thin as bamboo poles, so why was Lu Guangbai's height unaffected?
"Of course." Lu Guangbai smiled insincerely.
Zheng Nanle chuckled, deciding not to argue with him since he had also tried to rush out to save Zhang Yu.
She walked up to Xie Xiaowu, kicked him, and her gaze dangerously fell on his genitals. This was the root of all trouble. Should she just end it all?
Lu Guangbai misunderstood and took two steps back in fright. "You want to destroy the evidence? Don't even think about it. I don't have the ability to prepare corpse-dissolving potion."
After taking two steps back, he gritted his teeth and went forward to examine Xie Xiaowu's 'corpse' again. "But I have animal-attracting powder. I can throw his body into the mountains to create the illusion that he was torn apart by wild animals."
Zheng Nanle stared at Lu Guangbai with a strange look in his eyes.
I never would have guessed you, kid. With your thick eyebrows and big eyes, you're even more formidable than she is, a transmigrator from the apocalypse.
"I didn't kill him," Zheng Nanle explained.
Lu Guangbai placed his hand on Xie Xiaowu's neck, feeling the still-beating pulse, his face turning bright red.
What did he just say?
How come he was so relaxed in front of Zheng Nanle, without hiding his true nature at all?
Perhaps it was because Zheng Nanle's aura as an outlaw was too strong that he felt his dark thoughts were nothing in front of her.
He gritted his teeth, looked up and stared directly into Zheng Nanle's eyes.
Zheng Nanle looked at him calmly, with a half-smile, as if to say, "So this is the kind of person you are."
There was no fear, apprehension, or alienation in his eyes, just as his words, like the casual question, "Have you eaten?", seemed unaffected.
Lu Guangbai's tense body suddenly relaxed, he chuckled softly, and explained good-naturedly, "Actually, I still have a lot of medical ethics."
"Yes, yes, a very ethical ancient doctor." Zheng Nanle peeled a White Rabbit candy and stuffed it into Lu Guangbai's mouth. "This is a reward for you."
Lu Guangbai, who was forced to eat by Zheng Nanle again: "..."
Can you please not force it on me?
He has hands; he can eat by himself.
Furthermore, he has a psychological aversion to being force-fed food.
Ignoring Lu Guangbai's dilemma, Zheng Nanle happily hummed a wordless tune, grabbed Xie Xiaowu by the back of the collar with her left hand and jumped up, using her right hand to climb the tree trunk for leverage.
Lu Guangbai watched from below with trepidation.
Er Ya's other soul is too fierce! With those thin, delicate arms, she's carrying such a big lump. I'm afraid she'll break her arm.
Zheng Nanle first placed Xie Xiaowu in the tree branch, broke off a branch as thick as an arm, hung Xie Xiaowu on the branch, and then jumped down from the tree.
Lu Guangbai opened his arms below and caught Zheng Nanle in his embrace.
If this scene were changed to a handsome man and a beautiful woman, the picture would be very beautiful. A tall and handsome man opens his arms, and a cute girl jumps into his arms. The two embrace and look into each other's eyes.
The man was incomparably handsome, gazing at her with tender affection; the girl's cheeks were slightly flushed, her eyes sparkling; the wind swirled fallen leaves around them, like fluttering butterflies, filling the air with ambiguity.
But when it came to Zheng Nanle and Lu Guangbai, all that remained was the tall bamboo pole catching the little girl, the older brother carrying the younger sister, without a trace of romantic affection.
Not only that, it also spoils the romance.
“Your bones hurt me,” Zheng Nanle said.
Lu Guangbai thought to himself, "Your bones hurt me too."
“I can jump down myself, and it won’t hurt,” Zheng Nanle continued.
Lu Guangbai thought to himself, "Your slender leg bones can't withstand the counterforce when you land. You've probably overestimated yourself."
"Fine, I'll let it go since you meant well." Zheng Nanle patted his shoulder. "How much longer are you going to hug me? Your bones are really hurting me. You should gain some weight."
Lu Guangbai finally couldn't help but retort, "Likewise."
He put Zheng Nanle down and asked, "You didn't eat any meat, did you? Eat less meat, your stomach can't handle it."
Zheng Nanle felt guilty.
Having finally escaped the apocalypse and arrived here, I couldn't help but indulge a little.
Lu Guangbai glanced at her and knew exactly what she was talking about. He hated people who didn't follow doctors' orders and wanted to grab her by the ear and tell her how weak her stomach was. Before he could even speak, Zheng Nanle pulled him towards the bamboo grove.
Lu Guangbai followed along, confused. Just as he crouched down behind a large pine tree in the bamboo forest, a man and a woman sneaked out from the end of the path, constantly looking left and right to see if anyone was there.
Although the two were standing two meters apart, seemingly adhering to the safe distance between men and women, anyone with a discerning eye could tell that something was going on between them.
After all, what man and woman would secretly go to a secluded place together?
Zheng Nanle chuckled silently.
She knew these two people.
Xie Xiaoer's wife and Xie Xiaoyi.
She saw him on the day the engagement was called off.
