Chapter 26 Are You the Martial Arts Master?
Lin Xiaoyue was a little puzzled. She only took one bag, so what was the county magistrate doing? So she turned around and shook the things in her hand and said, "I didn't take more!"
Wu Zhongkui felt that his idea was a bit absurd, but he couldn't bear not to ask him, so he asked directly: "How did you know Chen Maowu? I guess he has never left Dongyuan Town in his life. How did he have a goddaughter like you?"
Lin Xiaoyue thought that the county magistrate would not suspect her until she left, but she didn't expect that what was coming would still come. But she was not afraid!
"My Lord, yesterday I passed by the foot of Bandit Mountain and saw Yunyun fainted, so I woke her up! To thank me, Yunyun invited me to her home. Since her family and I get along really well, I decided to become sworn sisters with Yunyun and call her parents godfather and godmother. What's wrong? Does Lord, do you think there's something wrong?"
Wu Zhongkui listened to Lin Xiaoyue's words which were very smooth and there was nothing wrong with them, but it was too smooth. Instead, he felt something was wrong.
"So… have you ever been to Bandit Mountain?"
Lin Xiaoyue shook her head and said, "No, how could a girl like me choose to cross mountains and ridges instead of taking the main road? That's too weird!"
Wu Zhongkui nodded and said jokingly, "Indeed. But why do I feel like you're that martial arts master who became a marquis with just one sword?"
Lin Xiaoyue's eyes widened, she threw the thing to Chen Yunyun, walked up to Wu Zhongkui and spread out her palms, "County Magistrate, you are too kind to me. Look at my hands, do they look like those of a martial artist?"
Wu Zhongkui didn't expect Lin Xiaoyue to be so direct. Looking at her fair and delicate palm, his doubts were instantly dispelled!
"Hahaha, I was just joking with you. The bandits on Bandit Mountain are all cannibals. If you tell me that you killed them, I won't believe you!"
Lin Xiaoyue smiled in agreement, "What the County Magistrate said is true! Can we leave now?"
Wu Zhongkui saw more people coming in from a distance and waved his hand, saying, "Let's go."
Walking on the road, Chen Yunyun was still brooding over what Lin Xiaoyue and the county magistrate had just said. She didn't expect that the person who set fire to the bandit's nest was not the flying knife master she had been thinking about!
For a moment, she thought that the Flying Knife Man might be just as powerful as others boasted. Otherwise, why wouldn't he come to help the people of Dongyuan Town when the people were in such a difficult situation?
"Sister Lin, do you think there really are flying knife masters in this world? Why is it the one who became a marquis with one sword? Doesn't the flying knife master have time?"
Lin Xiaoyue keenly sensed Chen Yunyun's deep sense of loss, as if her idol's reputation had collapsed, and it was all because of the county magistrate's meddling!
She quickly comforted him, "Yunyun, I think the Flying Knife Master might not have time, so he sent Yijian Fenghou here. After all, it's all good deeds, so it doesn't matter who does it."
Chen Yunyun lowered her head and nodded, responding listlessly, "Sister Lin is right."
Lin Xiaoyue clearly felt that Yunyun was not comforted by her, but she really didn't know how to comfort people! After racking her brains, she finally decided to let nature take its course. Little girls always have to learn to grow up on their own. When they grow up, they will realize that fairy tales are all lies!
They returned to the Chen family in silence. Lin Xiaoyue handed the bundle in her hand to Chen Maowu, "Godfather, this is issued by the government."
Chen Maowu looked at his daughter in disbelief and asked, "Where does the government get the money to distribute these things? Yunyun, could Yueyue have bought these on the road? Didn't Dad tell you that Yueyue is our benefactor? Don't let her spend any money!"
Chen Yunyun came back to her senses and explained anxiously, "Dad, it really wasn't Sister Lin who bought it! If you don't believe me, you can go outside the government office and see how many people are lining up to get their things! It's said that a martial arts master set fire to the bandits' lair on Bandit Mountain and then brought all the loot to the government office. The county magistrate then decided to distribute it to the people."
Seeing his daughter say this, Chen Maowu no longer doubted it and asked with a smile, "So that's how it is. Yueyue won't be angry with her godfather, right?"
Because of their interactions yesterday, Lin Xiaoyue understood Chen Maowu's character. He was honest and kind to others, but he didn't like to take advantage of others. Moreover, people who didn't know the truth would not believe it. How could a government office with no money give so many things to the people?
She waved her hands and said, "Godfather, what are you talking about? We are all family! You'd better open it quickly. We all want to see how much is packed inside. On the way, I heard a sound inside that seemed to be a chicken."
Chen Maowu untied the bundle and found a chicken inside. The chicken stayed inside obediently because its legs and wings were tied. In addition, there were two pieces of silver, a bag of cloth, a bag of salt and a piece of meat.
"So many things! How could the county magistrate be willing to give them away? You didn't rob them, did you?" How long has it been since the family had so much food? Chen Wumao thought he was seeing things, but after rubbing his eyes, he realized that these were all real!
Lin Xiaoyue smiled and shook her head, then told Chen Maowu what Wu Zhongkui had just said, "Godfather, the county magistrate said that we should go in and take a pack and leave without being picky, because everything in here was packed by that martial arts master. If there's anything left over or missing, don't blame him, the county magistrate, but blame that martial arts master!"
Chen Maowu laughed. He probably didn't know what was in the bundle. If Wu Zhongkui knew how much he had given away, would he be heartbroken?
"Haha, a martial arts master who can get the county magistrate to cooperate like this is truly extraordinary. No wonder he can kill all the bandits on his own. He's an incredible hero!"
Lin Xiaoyue covered her burning cheeks with her hands, but her heart was filled with joy. Her godfather actually praised her as a hero! It was a pity that she could only be a hero behind the scenes, but a legendary hero is still a hero!
Just like that flying knife man, didn’t he make Yunyun his little fan girl?
"Godfather, I think if that martial arts master knew you praised her, she would definitely be very happy! She might even give us a few more chickens."
Chen Maowu thought Lin Xiaoyue was joking and said nonchalantly, "I don't know whether she's happy or not. I just know that if you don't drink my chicken soup, it's going to get cold! Sit down quickly, I'll bring it to you."
Lin Xiaoyue couldn't help swallowing when she heard about the chicken soup. She had eaten very delicious chicken legs when she was in Furong Town before. The chicken soup cooked by her godfather must be better than those chicken legs!
"Thank you, godfather, but you and godmother have to eat too!"
Chen Maowu brought the chicken soup to the table and said with a smile, "We know you are filial. We have already eaten. You and Yunyun should eat quickly."
Lin Xiaoyue almost burst out laughing. Her godfather couldn't even lie!
