Chapter 204: No...Angry?
Seeing the green grass on the ridge of the field getting closer and closer, and the dewdrops on it clearly visible, Wen Yu couldn't help but exclaim.
"ah--"
In front of her was Uncle Song, and behind her were Song Linsheng and the others. She was caught in the middle and was in a dilemma. Was her only option to fall flat on her face?
Wen Yu hardened her heart, closed her eyes, and prepared to face the moment that would destroy her reputation.
Perhaps she could reach a new high in her most shameful moment in the lower world, but since Chi Huang and her master were not here, she might as well die!
The wind is silent, but the birds are still singing.
The cries of Song Linsheng and Mu Tong were still ringing in her ears, but she did not fall face first as she expected. Instead, she felt her body lighten.
Wen Yu hesitated and opened one eye. From the little light coming through the gap, she saw Yu Chang's face, which was as calm and peaceful as a thousand-year-old cold pond.
He put one hand through Wen Yu's armpit and lifted her up easily without even frowning, as if it was effortless.
Wen Yu opened her eyes wide in astonishment, looked up at Yu Chang's eyes, then looked down at her toes—
It's definitely not on the ground.
It's really picked up...
Although Yu Chang is a woman now, she is still much taller than Wen Yu. Holding her like this makes her look like a little chicken.
Yu Chang's expression remained normal, and he only glanced at Wen Yu lightly without saying a word.
Wen Yu was filled with fear and confusion. Although she didn't actually fall, she was still very frightened.
"Ah, sister."
She gasped and spoke hesitantly, but suddenly seemed to remember something and hurriedly tried to make amends.
"No, I mean..."
Yu Chang didn't like her calling him cousin or elder sister, and she knew that.
But I was in a hurry just now and called the wrong name.
He...won't throw her down, right?
Wen Yu pursed her lips tightly, staring at Yu Chang with her moist almond-shaped eyes. She wanted to say something to explain, but was afraid of making mistakes if she said too much.
The moment he met Wen Yu's gaze, Yu Chang had to admit that resentment could really disappear in an instant.
After the resentment disappeared, his empty heart was immediately filled with strong beating.
"Be careful."
Yu Chang loosened his grip and carefully put Wen Yu down gently. He didn't withdraw his hand until her feet touched the ground and she stabilized her body.
Wen Yu's hair moved in the wind, brushing against Yu Chang's fingertips. He paused for a moment before putting his hand back into his sleeve and hiding it behind his back.
No blame, no ridicule?
Wen Yu's guilty gaze was mixed with curiosity, and she couldn't help glancing at Yu Chang's face.
I thought a great demon like him would laugh at her lack of cultivation.
"Well, thank you, thank you, sister." Wen Yu tentatively called Yu Chang again.
If what she did just now was unintentional, then what she did now was intentional.
Yu Chang glanced at Wen Yu, seeming a little helpless, but he said nothing, turned around and continued walking forward.
Not... angry?
Wen Yu's eyes lit up, she was surprised and happy, she folded her hands together and twisted her sleeves for fun.
Looking at Yu Chang's tall and straight back, Wen Yu couldn't help but feel a little relieved.
Just don't be angry.
It seems that although Yu Chang is sometimes moody, he is generally easy to get along with!
"Xiaoyu!"
"Mrs. Wen."
Song Linsheng and Mu Tong followed, and both of them hurriedly checked Wen Yu's injuries, their concern evident in their words.
"Are you okay?" Song Linsheng half-knelt down, raised his hand and used his sleeve to brush away the grass debris on Wen Yu's skirt, then looked up at Wen Yu, "Does it hurt anywhere?"
Mu Tong fanned Wen Yu to create some shade. "Could it be that the sun is too hot and you have heatstroke?"
Wen Yu watched Yu Chang walk away, then retracted her gaze and looked down at Song Linsheng, then glanced at Mu Tong, and finally shook her head.
"I'm fine. I didn't fall at all."
"That was truly a close call. Lord Song and I both saw it happen." Mu Tong flipped his wrist and fanned Wen Yu. "Fortunately, Sister Wen Xing was quick-witted."
Wen Yu dealt with it casually and didn't pay attention.
She bent down and pulled up the half-squatting Song Linsheng, and patted his sleeves.
"I'm really fine." Wen Yu looked at Song Linsheng, then raised her hands left and right, "Look—"
Song Linsheng's brows were filled with worry, and he was slightly relieved to see that Wen Yu was really not hurt, but he still felt a little scared.
"Do you want to go back home and rest?" Song Linsheng advised softly, "We'll come out and look at the fields another day."
"No, we've come this far, there's no point in going home." Wen Yu shook her head and stretched her arms. "I'm fine, right?"
Song Linsheng sighed. He knew that he couldn't persuade Wen Yu, so he could only support her carefully to prevent her from making any more mistakes.
"But then again, my sister's strength is really... not small." Mu Tong muttered in a low voice, with emotion in his words.
Sister...
Song Linsheng turned his gaze and then looked at Yu Chang who had walked some distance away.
Yes, thanks to my sister, Xiaoyu is safe.
Wen Yu brushed away Mu Tong's jade fan with one hand, and took Song Linsheng's hand and walked forward, "Let's go! Let's go plant the rice seedlings too."
Mu Tong, fanning himself, froze in his spot until Xi Yan, who was standing behind him, caught up with him and asked, "Master Mu, what's wrong? Do you still want to go with us?"
"Let's go together, of course we can go together." Mu Tong pulled the corners of his lips into a helpless smile, put away the fan and hurriedly raised his feet to catch up.
The paths are crisscrossed, the rice fields are neatly arranged, and the fresh green rice seedlings decorate the land like pieces of dazzling emerald.
Yu Chang was still leading the way, following Uncle Song. Wen Yu and Song Linsheng walked side by side, while Mu Tong and Xi Yan lagged behind half a step. They walked one after the other on the ridge of the field and soon arrived at the territory of Song's residence.
Song Bo had been looking after the rice seedlings here recently, and it happened that he was washing his inkstone and counting his land, so it was a good opportunity for him to come together.
Most of the land originally under the name of the second young master had been rented out, and only a small portion was still managed by people hired by Song Bo, including the rice fields on the banks of the Yuanshui River in front of him.
After giving a brief introduction and explaining things to the people working in the fields, Uncle Song went back to busy himself with the accounts, leaving only Song Linsheng and Wen Yu to walk around and look around.
"Second Young Master."
"Meet the Second Young Master."
Everyone greeted Song Linsheng one after another. They were originally from the Song family, but they had been managing the manor outside the city.
Now that he had met Song Linsheng, he naturally felt very cordial.
Song Linsheng nodded in response, and then told everyone to do as they pleased.
The people in the fields were divided into several groups, some were arranging the seedlings, some were transplanting the seedlings. Everyone was busy but orderly, each in their own position and doing their own job.
Wen Yu couldn't sit still at all. He put on the protective gear prepared by Song Bo and went down to the field. Holding the seedlings pulled from the ridge, he tried to arrange the seedlings like others.
There is a lot of silt and many fish and insects in this paddy field. If Xiaoyu continues like this, something might happen to her.
"Xiaoyu." Song Linsheng raised his sleeve to stop her, but in the end he only said, "Be careful."
After saying that, Song Linsheng glanced around, immediately took out another pair of protective gear, and hurriedly put it on himself.
Xiyan came over to help when he saw this, and whispered to him, "Sir, do you want to go down to the fields too?"
"Yeah." Song Linsheng answered without hesitation while fastening the straps on his protective gear, "What?"
Xiyan knew that it was useless for him to say anything, but he was not going to try to persuade her anymore.
Jiangyang Prefecture is not the capital city. There are no dogma constraints and no elders to control you. Just do whatever you want!
Let everything go as you wish, freedom is the most important thing.
"Nothing." Xi Yan's hands kept moving, and in a few seconds he helped the young master put on the protective gear. Then he whispered mysteriously in his ear, "I mean, young master, you must protect Madam Wen!"
Seeing Song Linsheng's face freeze and then turn red, Xiyan stepped back and smiled heartily with his face tilted back.
He is not stupid. Since meeting Lord Mu today, the young master seems unhappy.
Now is the time to cheer for the young master and boost his morale!
"You..." Song Linsheng frowned and glanced at Xi Yan with forced composure, "Well, I know."
Xiyan tightened his lips and raised his eyebrows mischievously, but he didn't expect that the young master's words would take several turns.
This is good, it's the first time that the taciturn person finally comes to his senses.
Xiyan suppressed his laughter and said no more, quietly stepping aside.
Song Linsheng, wearing a bamboo hat on his head, felt his way down the ridge to the paddy field. The mud was so thick under his feet that it was not easy to move forward. Moreover, there were so many insects and fish underwater that he could even feel the sticky and slippery feeling of the fish swimming across his trouser legs.
It's really... uncomfortable.
He's fine.
Looking at Xiaoyu who was walking in front of him with the seedlings in her arms as if she was in an empty space, Song Linsheng was extremely worried.
"Xiaoyu, slow down." Song Linsheng called out softly, then followed with one foot deep and one foot shallow, "Wait for me."
"Hurry up!"
Wen Yu turned around and looked at Song Linsheng's slightly clumsy movements. His tall stature was of no help in the rice field, and instead made his steps unsteady.
"Forget it, forget it. Just take your time. I'll wait for you!" Wen Yu waved and greeted, but after the words fell, he turned back a few steps.
This scene naturally fell into the eyes of everyone standing on the ridge of the field.
Needless to say, washing the inkstone made me feel very happy.
Yu Chang also said nothing, looking at Wen Yu calmly as she held the seedlings in her left hand and the backpack in her right hand.
He clearly has magical powers, but he has to suffer in the underworld.
He...didn't know what to say.
She used to...
Yu Chang turned his face away and stopped looking, and didn't want to talk about the past anymore.
Every scene before him reminded him that things were no longer the same as before.
But the fingertips hidden in his sleeves were still curled up, and under the invisible water of the rice field, the fish swimming back and forth and the pests mixed in it scattered, not daring to get close to Wen Yu at all.
He knew that these things couldn't kill Wen Yu, but... he didn't want to hurt her.
In the underwater world, no one can surpass him.
Mu Tong, on the other hand, was fanning himself back and forth, his hair flying and an expression of admiration on his face.
"It's rare to find a woman like Madam Wen who's so hands-on and practical these days."
Xiyan, who was standing by, nodded when he heard this. Although what Lord Mu said was a joke, it was indeed the truth.
Among all the ladies he had met before, none was like Madam Wen.
Vivid and fresh, with extremely strong vitality all over the body, it makes people feel brightened when they walk to that station.
Otherwise, why do people say that his young master has good taste?
Xiyan suddenly remembered something and asked Mu Tong and Yu Chang, "Master Mu, Miss Yingying, would you two like to go down together and give it a try?"
"Ah, that's not necessary." Mu Tong smiled, waving his fan left and right, "I'm worried about no one taking care of my family's fields."
How could he have the energy to work for Lord Song here for free?
