Lin Wanyue was relieved.
Now that the armored demon had been driven away, Lin Wanyue felt relieved and, while Zhou's wife wasn't paying attention, took Laifu and Little Pink Butterfly back into the villa.
The man and two ghosts had a nice meal at the villa.
She felt at ease until the next day, and slept until the sun was high in the sky, shining through the window onto her legs.
Lin Wanyue, her face flushed, rubbed her eyes and got out of bed.
Zhou Jiren had already prepared an oxcart, with soft, clean straw spread on its planks.
Apart from the small space reserved for Lin Wanyue, most of the other space was occupied by various fruits and snacks, millet leaves for making zongzi (sticky rice dumplings), and many wrapped zongzi prepared by the villagers.
"Huh?" Lin Wanyue asked in surprise, "Uncle Zhou, are these all for my family?"
"Yes." Zhou Jiren cracked his whip, urging the oxen pulling the cart forward slowly, and said with a smile, "Although we country folk don't say nice things, we are all grateful to you in our hearts! If it weren't for you, if it weren't for Brother Lin, how could our village be living such a peaceful and good life now?"
"Hehe~" Lin Wanyue covered her mouth and smiled with her eyes narrowed. "Thank you, Uncle Zhou."
She was very happy to be praised like that by the villagers.
I'm even happier than when I made a lot of money telling fortunes before!
...
This time, Zhou Jiren already knew the exact location of the Lin family's house in the county town, and quickly drove the oxcart to the Lin family's door.
His oxcart had just stopped at the door when it was spotted by the sharp-eyed Lin Zheyun.
"Mother! Third and Fourth Brothers!" Lin Zheyun shouted into the house, "My sister is back!"
Suddenly, everyone still inside rushed out of the house.
Lin Ziqiu, who was learning medicine from his master, immediately abandoned his master and ran outside.
He hadn't seen his sister for several days.
But I miss my sister so much.
Xuefu wiped the water off her hands and came over with a smile to help Lin Wanyue down from the oxcart.
"Wanwan is back! Did you miss your mother?" Xuefu hugged her and sniffed her clothes.
"I miss you~" Lin Wanyue said sweetly, "I miss my mother, I miss my grandmother, I miss my eldest brother, second brother, third brother, fourth brother, and I miss my father."
Xuefu couldn't help but laugh when she heard this.
The way this little girl speaks always warms your heart.
"Hehe, sister-in-law, I brought the safety back with me, Wanwan." Zhou Jiren knew that Xuefu was worried about her child, so he took the initiative to say so.
“Our village really has to thank Wanwan this time. You don’t know, the old man Zhao Hong from the next village, his son just wanted to go up the mountain to hunt a rabbit, but he was captured by bandits. He had no choice but to ask my dad for help… Tell me, what could my dad do? They were lucky that Wanwan came back to the village this time and managed to rescue him.”
"Huh? There are bandits on the mountain again?" Xuefu knew immediately that the mountain they were talking about was West Mountain!
Dongshan is too small; you can see the end of it at a glance. Although you might be able to catch two or three rabbits, it certainly can't hide bandits.
But she immediately asked anxiously, "Why did Wanwan go to save people? Wanwan is such a young child."
In Xuefu's heart, the thought was still quite awkward. On the one hand, she felt that her own Wanwan was very capable and that dealing with a few bandits was not a difficult task.
But then I felt that Lin Wanyue was too young, how could I let a child deal with bandits?
They still have so many men, after all!
How could we only send Lin Wanyue?
This person became worried as soon as they heard Zhou Jiren's words.
"Mother, it's alright." Lin Wanyue waved her little hand to indicate that she was not injured.
"You silly child, what are we supposed to do if something really happens?" Xuefu poked Lin Wanyue's cheek and said, not quite agreeing.
The plan was to go back to the village to repair the formation, so why did we go up the mountain to catch bandits instead?
"That's right, we were worried about Wanwan too, so we sent Niu Da and Niu Er with her. It's all thanks to Wanwan that we were able to take care of those dozen or so bandits! Otherwise, if they had expanded their influence again, our village might not have been able to escape."
Seeing that he had indeed diverted Xuefu's attention, Zhou Jiren quickly cut to the chase: "But now our village doesn't need to worry anymore. With Wanwan reinforcing the talisman and distributing talisman paper to everyone in the village, if those bandits are really so audacious as to dare to plot against our village, they'll be asking for death!"
“That’s only right.” Xuefu touched Lin Wanyue’s hair and nodded reluctantly when she saw that she was being taken good care of. “After all, we are all from the same village. Since our Wanwan has some ability to help the village, she should do her best.”
Zhou Jiren then joined Lin Zheyun in helping to unload the goods from the oxcart.
Xuefu exchanged a few more polite words, but she couldn't win against Zhou Jiren.
These homemade items aren't worth much in the village, but they can be exchanged for money in the city.
However, talking about money would hurt feelings, so Xuefu didn't want to directly calculate the amount for him. Instead, she brought a bucket of fruit salad, some sweet potato starch, and some fabric for making clothes for the villagers.
Other things were fine, but Zhou Jiren absolutely refused to accept the fabric for making clothes.
"Alright, why be so polite?" Xuefu said forcefully, "Consider it a gift from me to the village. Can you refuse it on their behalf? Besides, the Dragon Boat Festival is coming soon. Even though this amount of material isn't enough to make a full set of clothes for everyone in the village, it would be good to make a few handkerchiefs. It's a token of my appreciation, so you absolutely have to take these things back with you."
"This..." Zhou Jiren said with difficulty, "Sister-in-law, I don't care about the other things, I'm not a polite person. But these fabrics are too valuable. If I go back, my father will kick me to death. You should keep them for yourself!"
“I’ll talk to your father during the New Year, so don’t worry. If it really doesn’t work, don’t tell your father. Just consider it as something I prepared for the women in the village. You men should mind your own business.” Xuefu then forcefully pressed the fabric onto Zhou Jiren’s oxcart.
"Okay, alright... Thank you, sister-in-law." Zhou Jiren had no choice but to take the things back.
As soon as the others left, Lin Zheyun immediately went with the twins to check on the food that had been delivered.
"Wanwan." Xuefu was worried that Lin Wanyue might be tired after riding in the oxcart for so long, so she took her over and said with a smile, "How many days has it been since you took a bath? I can't help but smell that you stink."
Lin Wanyue: "!!!"
He immediately bent down and smelled himself.
