Xie Jingzhi said nothing, sat on the shore and took off his shirt, then clasped his hands together and the water on his clothes dripped down.
"No way, are you serious?" Seeing that he was silent, Lin Ye's smile immediately faded and he squatted beside him, "Jing Zhi, with our status, you should understand..."
Xie Jingzhi interrupted him, "I know."
"I understand." He spoke again.
Lin Ye watched him leave, sighed and shook his head, closed his folding fan, and tapped his palm up and down, "...I hope you really understand."
His voice was so soft that it was blown away by the wind.
Xie Jingzhi has a high prestige in the mountain stronghold. He is a martial arts expert and always rushes to the front when "working". He is very kind to his brothers and is serious but not harsh.
In addition to young men, there were also many young women fleeing the village. Some of the young men could not control their lower bodies and were almost succeeded a few months ago, but were discovered and stopped by Xie Jingzhi.
He simply crippled the young man and drove him down the mountain, then gathered all the men together.
"You are human beings, not animals. If I find out about this again..."
"I will show no mercy to the beasts, hold on tight!"
When Xie Jingzhi said this, his expression was extremely fierce and gloomy, with blood on his face. No one dared to look him in the eye a second time.
He left immediately after he finished speaking. Lin Ye stepped forward to comfort him, "We are all men. I understand you. If anyone can't help it and comes to me for money, you can go down the mountain to have fun and don't go to harm decent girls."
"We all live on the same mountain and are a family. How dare you attack your family? The boss is mad at you for being useless! You can't even control yourselves!"
Xie Jingzhi and Lin Ye played the good cop and the bad cop respectively, and successfully resolved the matter. All the young girls on the mountain moved together, and most of them changed to jobs that would allow them to have less contact with men.
The specific information of the girl who was forced was also concealed by Xie Jingzhi and Lin Ye. No one on the mountain knew who she was except the two of them.
After the matter was resolved, Lin Ye would take the men down the mountain to solve the problem every once in a while, but Xie Jingzhi never went there once.
Lin Ye brought up this matter and joked about it several times, almost thinking that he was incapable.
But now, Lin Ye just returned to the village and heard that the "No" leader wanted to get married, and the wife was snatched back from the foot of the mountain.
He walked on the road in a graceful manner, fanning himself while thinking, greeting the people in the village from time to time, and walking towards the boss's house with a clear purpose.
There was a knock on the door.
Wen Liyu, who was playing a single-player game in the house, immediately put the game console back into the space.
She got out of bed, put on her shoes, and opened the door. "You are...?"
"Hello, my name is Lin Ye, and I'm the second in command of the village." Lin Ye raised the corners of his mouth, fanning himself with a fan, his long hair bangs fluttering, looking like a dashing young man.
Wen Liyu nodded thoughtfully, stepped back a few steps, and made room. "Second Master, please."
The two of them sat down on the chairs in the outer room. Wen Liyu poured him a glass of water. Her natural and generous host attitude really made Lin Ye stunned for a few seconds.
Wen Liyu also poured herself some water and asked, holding the teacup, "Second Master, what do you want to talk to me about?"
"I wonder who you are, young lady? I can take you down the mountain to find your relatives." Lin Ye didn't drink the water and went straight to the point. "Young lady, you don't want to stay in the bandit's lair forever, right?"
"You want to send me away?" Wen Liyu pursed her lips, her brows furrowed. "Is this the Second in Command's idea or the First in Command's?"
Lin Ye smiled without saying anything, and asked, "Who meant it? What difference does it make?"
"There's a huge difference." Wen Liyu raised her eyes and looked straight at Lin Ye, her beautiful face fully revealed in front of him. "I was rescued by the boss. If it weren't for the boss, I would have been buried alive by now."
"He saved me, and my life belongs to him. I'm willing to do anything he asks me to do. Unless he personally asks me to leave, I won't leave."
Lin Ye choked: "Girl, you..."
"Second in command." Wen Liyu lowered her head before he spoke, her eyes drooping, looking fragile and pitiful. "Even if I go back, my family will sell me out again."
"You are such a noble and upright person, you wouldn't push a weak woman who has finally escaped back into the fire pit, right?"
Lin Ye laughed and shook his head, "Well, I can't argue with you."
"Since the young lady has made up her mind, I won't say anything more. I just hope that the young lady won't regret it in the future." His words were suggestive.
After saying that, he finished drinking the water, got up and left.
"Did you hear everything?" He closed the door and looked to the left. Xie Jingzhi had come over at some point and was standing outside the door eavesdropping.
Xie Jingzhi pretended to be stupid, raised an eyebrow and looked at his friend, "What did you say?"
"Tsk, pretending!" Lin Ye hit him on the shoulder with a folding fan, "I don't know where you got the bad luck to find such a beauty when you go down the mountain."
Xie Jingzhi couldn't hide the pride in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth curled up.
"I think even the most beautiful woman in the capital would pale in comparison to her. You'll be busy in the future." Lin Ye shook his head and teased with a smile, "It's not easy to be a flower protector."
Xie Jingzhi followed him out without returning to the room.
"I will protect the person I picked up."
His words were light but firm, causing Lin Ye to shake his head and sigh.
It turns out that the iron tree is blooming.
-
After finishing his work in the evening, Xie Jingzhi walked to the door of the room and stopped abruptly when he saw the candlelight in the room.
His house is now occupied by Jiaojiao.
Xie Jingzhi walked around the room, frowning and thinking.
Number One Xie Xiaozhi: It's against the rules to live in the same room before getting married.
Number Two Xie Xiaozhi: You, a bandit, still care about these secular rules?
Number One Xie Xiaozhi: She is so delicate, she cries when she is touched. If she sees my 'big brother' staring at her, she will cry again!
Number Two Xie Xiaozhi: Oh, who doesn't know you! Seeing her crying and excited like she's crazy, if you're a man, go in!
Neither of the two villains could convince the other, and they were still arguing in their minds. As they argued, they even started fighting.
Xie Jingzhi squatted in the corner outside the house with a headache, gasping for breath in embarrassment.
He couldn't sleep in his younger brothers' room either. If they knew how cowardly he was, where would the boss's authority be?
Wen Liyu had been reminded by the system when he came back. After waiting for more than ten minutes without hearing anyone come in, she was afraid that something had happened to him, so she came out to look for him.
Finally, she saw a large dark shadow in the corner and called out softly, "Xie Jingzhi?"
The soft and sweet voice entered Xie Jingzhi's ears, making the villain in his head disappear instantly.
"You're back, why don't you come in?" Wen Liyu looked at him puzzledly, her almond-shaped eyes clear and shining like stars.
"You let me in?" Xie Jingzhi asked in surprise.
