In the blink of an eye, December is here.
Zhoujiawu has officially entered winter.
Lin Luo stayed in bed for a while today. Even after opening his eyes, he did not get up immediately. Instead, he stared at the light hidden in the darkness above his head and fell into a daze.
At this moment, the whole room was dark, and only the sound of rain outside seemed to tell Lin Luo that time did not stand still.
She thought of what Yun Shu said yesterday about taking the wolf cub up the mountain today. He didn't say what they were going to do specifically, but it should be difficult to walk up the mountain in this weather.
A chaotic stream of thoughts raced through her mind until her phone vibrated briefly twice, pulling her out of her trance-like state.
She had another express delivery arriving at the courier store and asked Lin Luo to pick it up in time.
But she still didn't get up.
The sound of the rain seems to be getting louder. Maybe there will be mushrooms on the mountain tomorrow. I wonder what delicious food Yunshu will make for lunch...
Crunch——
Until the sound of the yard gate opening was heard, accompanied by the excited roar of the wolf cub and a faint smell of blood.
Hmm? Smell of blood?
When Lin Luo finally came downstairs, he saw Yun Shu preparing food in the kitchen. It seemed to be... a snake?
"You took the wolf cubs hunting?"
The sudden noise didn't scare Yun Shu. He calmly used his body to block Lin Luo's view. "It's time for it to learn something. We can't let Luo Luo be raised in vain."
In Yunshu's mind, it was fine that he was raised by Luoluo, but why was the wolf cub raised that way?
Is it cute?
Haha, Lolo doesn’t care about people like this!
Lin Luo glanced at the wolf cub lying under the eaves with a "melancholy" look on its face because it could not continue playing due to the rain. It was indeed a little bigger now than when it first came, but it was still a proper cub.
Noticing Lin Luo's gaze, the little wolf turned around, his eyes clearly lit up, and he rushed towards Lin Luo quickly, rubbing his head against her exposed ankles, looking... more like a dog.
Before Lin Luo could say anything, Yun Shu was already unhappy.
He stretched out his foot and subdued the wolf cub, ignoring the wolf's howling, "Lolo, it's very dirty, don't let it touch you."
That’s right. After going to the mountain in the rain, both of them looked a little disheveled when they came back. Yunshu was fine. She just needed to take a shower and change clothes.
His originally semi-long hair has been cut into a flat top, which is neat and clean, highlighting his facial features and is also easier to rinse.
But the wolf cub's fur was a bit troublesome, so Yun Shu only wiped its limbs clean and left the rest for later.
Now seeing that the wolf cub dared to touch the clean Lin Luo with such a dirty body, Yun Shu was the first to disagree.
Lin Luo laughed and was about to speak when an old man's voice came from outside the house, "Luo girl, Luo girl, are you home? It's me..."
Lin Luo recognized the voice of the person coming. It was the village chief of Zhoujiawu, Zhou Asheng. She usually called him Grandpa.
When Lin Luo built a house in Zhoujiawu before, some procedures and matters went through this person's hands, so the two were not strangers.
But Lin Luo really had no feelings towards this village chief... and even felt a little disgusted with him.
But the man had already come over, so Lin Luo still picked up the umbrella at the door and went to open the door for him, "Grandpa, what's going on?"
Seeing Lin Luo at home, Village Chief Zhou's wrinkled face showed an even wider smile, "I knew you would be at home in this weather. Let's go in and talk, let's go in and talk."
In the living room, Lin Luo handed the water to the village chief and sat opposite him.
"Hey, girl Luo, this house is pretty nice. You spent a lot of money on it, right? Aren't you planning on having a wedding?"
This was also the first time that the village chief had entered this house. In fact, many people in the village were curious about Lin Luo and her house.
But this little girl rarely appears in the village, and she drives when she goes out. She can't always stop other people's cars unless there is something important.
As for this house, it is not special in Zhoujiawu. There are houses that are more luxurious than it, but this is the only "big event" that happened in the village this year, so it is not surprising.
Unfortunately, Lin Luo’s house has a high wall, and they don’t know what’s going on inside.
"fine."
Lin Luo said two perfunctorily, as for holding a wedding banquet?
Logically, it is necessary to invite guests to dinner to congratulate the new house after it is built, but Lin Luo has no relatives and doesn't want to waste his time on it.
Seeing Lin Luo's somewhat cold attitude, the village chief muttered in his heart that she was a bad person and had no manners, but he quickly turned to the main topic.
"Girl Luo, it's almost the middle of November. They say this festival is going to be a big one this year. It's going to be really lively!"
The village chief was talking about the Winter Storage Festival according to the lunar calendar.
It is also a special festival in this area. In the past, after this festival, it meant that it was time to take a break after a busy year.
Basically, several villages will come together to invite opera troupes to perform, as well as lion dances, markets, etc.
Lin Luo had participated in it a few times when he was a child, and it was indeed very lively.
However, in recent years, more and more people have gone out to work. Not only in Zhoujiawu, but also in the surrounding villages, the situation is similar, with basically only the elderly left.
The Lin family has not returned to participate in this festival for many years since Grandpa Luo and Grandma Luo passed away.
"That's great. I will definitely go and have a look if I have time." Lin Luo smiled and "showed his support". He had already vaguely guessed the purpose of the village chief's visit.
"Girl Luo, hahahaha."
Village Chief Zhou laughed awkwardly. Seeing that Lin Luo was really not understanding, he had to express his thoughts in a tactful way.
It’s very simple, two words: money.
This kind of festival is jointly funded by the village. Where does the money come from?
In addition to renting and selling land and hilltops, etc., sometimes they also rely on "donations" from successful villagers, but Zhoujiawu is a poor and remote area, so naturally it lacks a lot in this regard.
Lin Luo's smile remained unchanged. "Grandpa, you know I just built a house, and I don't have a job yet and I need to go to school. I really can't help you with this."
Her words made the village chief anxious, and he blurted out, "Luo girl, you are being unkind. Didn't your parents pay over a million yuan in compensation for that incident?"
--Um?
Although he didn't know where the village chief got the information, after all, even the Lin family didn't know about it, but Lin Luo really wanted to ask the old man how he could say such a thing?
"You remembered it wrong."
Lin Luo's words startled the village chief, a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes, "I remembered it wrong, huh? Yes! Oh, I remembered it wrong, I remembered it wrong."
But he didn't give up. "Girl Luo, think about it, if we hadn't taken in your grandpa and grandma, this..."
"Lolo, come and have breakfast."
Yun Shu came out of the kitchen with a frown on his face, interrupting the village chief, and exuded an aura of someone who was not to be trifled with.
The key point is that this guy is holding a kitchen knife in his hand, with a few traces of blood on it left from killing a snake. I don’t know whether it was intentional or unintentional.
The village chief was a little frightened for a moment. Why did Lin Luo's cousin look like a gangster?
Just as he was thinking this, Yun Shu glanced at the village chief again, his eyes cold and fierce, "Lolo is not in good health, don't bother her with such trivial matters. I'll come to your house later to find you, okay, okay, let's talk."
When he uttered the last four words, Yun Shu swung the kitchen knife in his hand twice in coordination.
It sounds like we're going to the village chief's house to chop down two people.
The village chief: "...Hehe, no, it's okay, it's okay, Luo girl, you eat first, eat first, my old lady is waiting for me too."
The village chief didn't dare to stay any longer and hurriedly retreated to the door, but at this time he did not forget to take away an apple that Lin Luo had placed on the table.
The door closed again, Lin Luo: "..."
But the next second, "Poof..."
Her originally somewhat unhappy mood has now completely disappeared, and she gave Yunshu a thumbs up.
The arrogance in Yun Shu's body soon disappeared, "Lolo, is it okay what I did just now?" There was a hint of uneasiness in his words.
Lin Luo shook his head and said, "It's okay. People like this are afraid of people like you." It can be said that Yun Shu came out at the right time, otherwise Lin Luo would have come to invite people in person in the next second.
It was a not-so-worthwhile creature, so Lin Luo didn't take it seriously and told Yun Shu not to worry. He then walked towards the kitchen and saw the little wolf cub eating raw snake meat. The scene was a bit bloody.
However, Lin Luo thought of the way Yun Shu held the kitchen knife just now, and couldn't help laughing for a moment, which made Yun Shu, who was following closely, a little confused, and then he looked at the wolf cub with a bad look.
——Can this make Lolo happy?
On the other side, the village chief on his way home had bad luck.
It was clearly a flat road, but I don't know if it was because I was dizzy or what, but I fell flat on my face.
The people were fine, but because of the rain, their clothes and everything were damaged.
After the village chief got home, he became angrier and angrier. The fear that Yun Shu brought to him gradually faded away, and instead aroused the violence in his heart.
"Damn it, you stinky cousin, you've got a strange man hiding at home. What cousin? He's just a mistress!"
The curse words followed, and the unhappy village chief kicked his wife who was sweeping the floor beside him, "You are so slow, haven't you eaten yet?"
Grandma Zhou remained silent, but just moved a little further away from the village chief. She watched him muttering to himself, wondering what he was thinking about.
