[Rural Areas] The Countryside is So Beautiful (Complete) - 11

Chapter Sixty-Six: The Rain, The Person
"Are you alright?" This was the first time I'd encountered something like this, and I was just as flustered as Li Jing.

"I'm fine," she said through gritted teeth, the recent pain leaving her temporarily powerless.

"I'll carry you to the hospital." Seeing that her condition wasn't as easy as she made it out to be, I immediately became flustered.

"No, I know my situation, it happens every month," Li Jing stopped me.

"Oh, really alright?" Knowing my own situation, I pulled her into my arms and reached out

my hand, saying, "Let me rub it for you." "No!" Li Jing quickly grabbed my hand, playfully hitting me, saying, "What are you doing?"

"Um, I..." I realized I really couldn't help. Seeing a few spots of smelly blood on her leg, I wiped them away.

"Help me back, my sister knows what to do, hurry!" Li Jing frowned, squeezing her legs together.

"I'll carry you," before she could finish, I helped her up and quickly squatted down.

"..." Li Jing hesitated for a moment, then finally climbed onto my back.

"Where are you touching..." Before I could react, she slapped me hard.

"Oh..." I then realized that my hands had hurriedly slipped under her skirt, hugging her two smooth thighs. But at that moment, I didn't think about how erotic this action was, or the heat pressing against my back. I just moved my hands to the side, picked Li Jing up, and ran.

"Slow down," Li Jing's panting sounded behind me.

Li Mei's house wasn't far from the river. I kicked open the back door and rushed into the yard.

"What's wrong?" My sister-in-law heard the noise and ran out of the house. Seeing me carrying Li Jing, she asked anxiously.

"Sister-in-law, Li Jing has menstrual cramps," I said anxiously.

"Quickly, carry her to the bed," Li Mei said, stepping aside to make way.

I carried Li Jing into the bedroom and carefully put her down. At this point, Li Jing's complexion improved a little, but she was still trembling all over.

"Are you cold?" I asked hurriedly, grabbing a blanket from beside the pillow and draping it over her.

"Ah Hao, quickly pour her a cup of hot water, hurry!" Li Mei instructed.

"Okay," I replied and rushed out.

"Come back," my sister-in-law called again, "Get her a hot water bottle first, apply it to her lower abdomen to relieve the pain."

"Okay," I hurried out of the bedroom, but couldn't find anything to use as a hot water bottle. Those thin plastic sheets wouldn't work; they'd tear easily with boiling water and could burn Li Jing.

"Uncle Ah Hao, what happened to my aunt?" Xiao Mei finally interjected.

"Don't bother me," I said dismissively, holding a small basin of unknown contents, preparing to pour boiling water into it.

"What are you doing, making a hot water bottle?" she persisted.

"What am I doing? Are you Doraemon, asking so many questions? I'm definitely making a hot water bottle," I replied irritably, continuing to pour water. This girl had no tact whatsoever.

"How about using an empty Coke bottle? I have a big one."

"Thank you!" I excitedly hugged her, kissed her forehead, then took the bottle and slowly poured hot water into it.

"Of course," she said, rummaging around in a corner and pulling out a pale green Coke bottle.

"Thank you!" I excitedly hugged her, kissed her forehead, then took the bottle and slowly poured hot water into it.

"How is she?" Ignoring the bottle's heat, I put the cap back on and rushed into the bedroom. "She's

fine. I should have known better than to let her drink," Li Mei said remorsefully, taking the plastic bottle and frowning. "Why is it so hot?"

"Then add some cold water," I quickly said.

"No need, you can go out now," Li Jing said, her face flushed.

At that moment, I saw several wads of blood-red toilet paper on the ground, very conspicuous. Knowing it wasn't appropriate for a grown man to stay there, I quietly closed the door and went into the yard, only to find Xiao Mei staring blankly.

"What are you doing, Little Dingdang?" I asked curiously, seeing her thoughtful expression for the first time.

"You just kissed me," she said, covering her face with a slightly annoyed look.

"Pfft..." I almost laughed out loud; this little girl was too funny. I can guarantee I had pure intentions just now; at least I haven't fallen for her yet.

"What are you laughing at? You owe me! You owe me!" She hit my chest hard with her little hands, very annoyed.

"How will you owe me?!" I asked, suppressing a laugh.

"I don't care, you bad uncle." Xiao Mei was still rubbing her forehead.

"Then I'll take the loss; how about you kiss me again?" "

No way, I'm a princess; princesses don't kiss princes." She pouted, her little mouth almost big enough to hang an oil bottle.

"Princess, prince?" I looked at the little girl.

"Snow White? You don't even know that? She was awakened by a prince's kiss."

I almost fainted. This little girl has such a fairytale soul! I looked at her; she was wearing a cute white checkered jumpsuit, the fabric slightly sheer, pure white like a lotus flower. The lace trim extending from her waist to her thighs and calves completely concealed any imperfections in her youthful figure, revealing her long, slender, and smooth white calves. White sandals outlined her two perfect feet, captivatingly beautiful!

I quickly looked away. Without realizing it, this little girl had quietly grown up; she truly was a princess, a lovely angel princess!

Taking advantage of my distraction, Xiao Mei suddenly tilted her head back, stood on tiptoe, and kissed my neck and chin with her rosy cheeks. Her slightly messy hair brushed against my cheek, bringing a delicate fragrance.

"What are you doing?" I exclaimed in surprise, quickly pushing her away.

"Hehe, this time neither of us lost out, I even kissed you once." She had a sly smile on her face, as if she found it very amusing.

This little girl wasn't willing to suffer any loss, but if Li Mei had seen that, she would have fought me to the death. I was momentarily confused.

The past week had been both happy and busy. Of course, there were many happy things, such as life being wonderful, and I spent each day looking forward to it. The busy thing was that we finally started hauling fertilizer in the county, mainly for the supply and marketing cooperative.

"What? Are you kidding me? You want us to send two people to the city to pick them up?" When I saw this reply letter, I felt that Xie Yuling was putting on airs. Coming back to invest, she wanted us to go to the city to welcome them. Of course, I had already asked Jiang Ailian to check her name, but frustratingly, I couldn't find it.

"That's right, we've already given them enough face by holding a welcoming ceremony in the town. Why do you want us to go to the city?" Liu Qingqing also said with dissatisfaction.

"Alright, don't get angry. They're here to invest." Li Mei interrupted our conversation with a smile.

"So what if we invest? We don't care about that anyway," Liu Qingqing said indignantly.

“I think we should go, and while we’re at it, see if they’re really here to invest. Otherwise, it’ll be so embarrassing if we get to the town and find out they’re scammers.”

“Hmm, that makes sense. The question is, who’s going?” I pondered for a moment and said.

“I’m not going,” Liu Qingqing said bluntly.

“You’re not going even if the town reimburses your travel expenses?” I smiled mischievously.

“No, you go.”

“Yes, Assistant Wang, you should go.” Jiang Ailian looked at me seriously.

“That’s not a good idea. I’m a grown man, and there are many things a lady can’t say.” I said with a troubled expression.

“Anyway, there are two of us going. Why don’t we have Director Li go too?”

“I can’t. Someone needs to stay at home. Zhang Ke went to the county for training and hasn’t come back yet.” Li Mei shook her head.

“Then Sister Jiang should go,” Liu Qingqing suggested.

“That’s not a good idea. I’m the village head. Won’t people think we don’t value you?” Jiang Ailian asked, her eyes gleaming with a strange light.

“It’s alright, you’re going to be transferred to the town soon anyway, so just go. Besides, you’re much more capable than me, you can handle things on your own,” my sister-in-law replied.

After some polite refusals, Jiang Ailian agreed to go to the city with me.

We called the number provided and were told to pick us up at the airport on the 17th. Knowing the town’s conditions weren’t great, they didn’t ask us to prepare a car, which saved us a lot of trouble.

We arrived in the city a day early, as instructed, and booked two rooms at a hotel to avoid delays. Shortly after entering the hotel, Jiang Ailian called me out to buy some souvenirs to take home. I realized she was treating this trip as a paid vacation, but I didn’t say anything, since a trip to the city wasn’t easy. By

then, it was already dark. The pace of life in the city was different from that of the town; the city was still brightly lit and bustling with people and cars. Having not experienced the atmosphere of a big city for a long time, my interest was piqued, and I took Jiang Ailian to the night market.

Unfortunately

, the weather didn't cooperate. We had only walked halfway when it suddenly started pouring rain without any warning, forcing us to scramble for cover. Luckily, the hotel wasn't far, and we arrived in about ten minutes. "What happened? The weather forecast said there wouldn't be any rain!" Jiang Ailian was soaked to the bone, her clothes clinging to her body, revealing a glimpse of her skin, though she didn't seem to notice, just kept complaining.

"You believe the weather forecast?" I replied, amused.

Back in the room, I immediately took off my wet clothes and took a hot shower. I changed into the hotel pajamas and then turned on the TV. At this time, most hotel TVs were 14-inch black and white models with very blurry images, nothing like the ones at my house. I tried several channels, but they were all the same, so I sat on the bed in disappointment.

Just then, I heard a knock on the door. Thinking it was a hotel staff member, I called out, "Come in!"

"Assistant Wang! Why are you getting ready for bed so early?" It was Jiang Ailian, still looking disheveled from the rain, without having showered yet.

"What's the point of not sleeping? It's raining so hard, there's nowhere to play," I said, stretching.

"Yeah, really, this damn weather, it finally comes out, and it rains again," Jiang Ailian said, sitting down next to me. It seemed she didn't hold back her feelings for me.

At such close range, under the light, I noticed two round, damp welts on her pajamas. She probably hadn't expected it to rain, so she only brought one set of clothes, and had to put her wet underwear back on when changing. Looking at the glimpses of her ample bosom, my heart burned, and my eyes were glued to her chest.

"Ahem," Jiang Ailian coughed, already realizing she'd exposed herself, and hurriedly tugged at her chest, blushing as she sat down on the edge of the bed.

"Oh," I looked up, my face flushed.

"Um... Assistant Wang, the hot water tap in my room is broken, I've been trying to turn it on for ages but there's no water. I... could I take a shower in your room?" she said shyly.

"Oh, okay, okay," I nodded in agreement, unsure of her meaning.

"Thank you," Jiang Ailian practically rushed into the bathroom.

Looking at her voluptuous figure, a surge of heat rose within me. Wasn't this blatant seduction? Lately, she'd been constantly in front of me, whetting my appetite, but I hadn't gotten anything out of her, leaving me feeling restless and uneasy. It would be a shame not to take advantage of such a good opportunity.

My desire surged uncontrollably, and thinking of the vibrant figure inside, I couldn't resist walking to the bathroom door, ready to peek.

With a nervous and apprehensive heart, I quietly approached the door, crouched down, and peered through the ventilation gap, looking up and down, gradually shifting my gaze.

Finally, I saw it. The pajamas were peeled off Jiang Ailian's body, revealing her snow-white torso, long, slender legs, a delicate waist, and firm, rounded breasts that trembled with her breath…

I hadn't expected her figure to be so good; she didn't look like a woman in her thirties at all, especially her lower abdomen, which showed no signs of swelling.

Her long, white legs moved slowly in the bathroom, exuding an alluring charm that made my breath quicken. Unfortunately, I could only see a blurry glimpse.

Finally, the opportunity arrived: Jiang Ailian reached for the soap from the bathtub, and a snow-white jade body flashed by, her figure flowing like water, like a scene from a movie. She was covered in water droplets, a few wisps of steam rising from her skin, like a lotus flower with dew on a summer morning, or like white jade glistening with water. Under the soft light, her smooth skin was translucent and radiant, smooth and moist, as if it could be broken with a touch! It was a translucent jade color, white with a rosy tint, exuding an intoxicating charm.

I felt my nose was about to bleed, and my gaze couldn't help but drift upwards. I could barely breathe. Her smooth abdomen and slender waist were perfectly integrated, appearing and disappearing with the drifting steam...

Was I seeing things? She... Finally, my nose felt hot, and a drop of blood fell onto the floor.

Chapter Sixty-Seven:
A layer of soapy foam covered her body, further accentuating its beauty. Under Jiang Ailian's smooth hands, it gradually became more erect and alluring.

Unexpectedly, she did something that made my nose bleed. She quietly opened her legs, letting the faucet splash water all over her body. Her fingers twitched incessantly, carefully washing herself, like a child encountering a toy they had never seen before, cherishing it dearly.

Whether it was the steam or the teasing of her own fingers, her eyes shone with boundless allure, almost spitting fire. As if unconsciously, she put her fingers in her mouth, constantly sucking on her delicate fingers.

My inner desires, like the tide on the Fuchun River, surged towards the embankment even before the tide began to rise. Of course, there was also a bit of fear and nervousness in my heart, just like the first time I was with my sister-in-law in the office.

"Bang!" My body trembled slightly in excitement, and my head bumped against the door, making a soft sound.

Jiang Ailian's hands paused for a moment, but she continued washing.

Jiang Ailian was not Li Mei; this was the only rational thought in my mind. Seeing her giving her final wash, I knew it was almost time, so I quickly stood up, sat on the bed, and watched TV. The TV screen was still filled with static, but my mind wasn't on it; I just kept glancing towards the bathroom door.

Just then, Jiang Ailian finished showering and gracefully walked out of the bathroom. Perhaps feeling guilty, I kept feeling her gaze fixed on me, making me nervous.

"You can even watch TV with such a blurry screen? Really," she said, smoothing her hair as she stood not far from me.

"Just looking, I don't have anything else to do anyway," I said, blushing and giving an awkward smile, inwardly groaning. Being so close, I could clearly smell her fragrance, and my eyes kept drifting towards her chest. No way! That erotic image flashed through my mind again. Her nightgown seemed unable to conceal her prominent breasts, so conspicuous. Had she just taken off her bra…? Come to think of it, who would want to play with a wet bra?

"I'm going to bed." Meeting my gaze, her face turned cold. It seemed my repeated advances had angered Jiang Ailian.

"Oh," by the time I came to my senses, Jiang Ailian had already floated out the door.

I quickly entered the bathroom. I hadn't seen Jiang Ailian grab anything when she left. The bathroom wasn't large, and the walls were covered in gleaming white mosaic tiles. When I saw the clothes rack in the corner, my eyes lit up. Wasn't that Jiang Ailian's pink lingerie? Just as I suspected.

I reached out and picked it up, examining it closely. It was thin, soft, and slightly damp. I brought it to my nose and smelled a faint scent—the unique aroma of a woman's body in constant contact with clothing. Thinking about how I had spied on Jiang Ailian showering, my desire surged again.

With a hint of excitement, I wrapped it around myself, as if we were intimately touching. My mind raced with fantasies of nakedness, stimulating my senses.

Desire always reaches its peak before it begins to swell. Just as I was lost in this reverie, I suddenly heard the door open. Then, hurried footsteps approached.

"Oh no, Jiang Ailian is back." My mind raced in an instant. "The door's not closed, Jiang Ailian's underwear is in her hand, and she's naked. What should I do?" Looking at the remnants of our recent frenzy, I hurriedly soaked them in water, washed them, and tried to destroy the evidence.

"Assistant Wang, are you in the bathroom?" Jiang Ailian knocked on the door and asked.

"Yes, what's up? I'm washing my hands and getting ready for bed," I replied, quick-wittedly.

"Oh, are you done yet? I forgot something in there," she called from outside.

"Right away, right away," I replied helplessly.

My clothes were wet, and I hoped Jiang Ailian wouldn't mind and would let me get away with it.

But I was disappointed. When Jiang Ailian came out, her face was ashen, just like the overcast sky. She had already guessed what I had done.

This was the first time I had encountered such fierce opposition, and I was deeply hurt. This woman was truly impervious to any outsider's fuss. Sure enough, the reaction came the next day. She didn't wake me for breakfast, letting me sleep until after 10 a.m. before being woken up by the waiter.

"You're down. Let's go to the airport to pick someone up later," she replied coldly.

Seeing her expression, I couldn't help but apologize, "Village Chief Jiang, I'm sorry, last night I..."

"Don't say anymore, that's vulgar." Her eyes were filled with anger, and she interrupted me before I could finish.

You can mess with anything, but not a woman. I was a little confused as to why Jiang Ailian was so disgusted with me. Even if I did that kind of thing, it wouldn't matter, since I wasn't her person.

Seeing her attitude, I couldn't make things worse, so I kept my words to myself and waited for her to calm down before speaking.

These days, not many people can afford to fly, so the airport was sparsely populated. In the waiting room, there was a large sign that read: "Ms. Xie Yuling's Reception Desk."

Of course, I handled this all by myself; Jiang Ailian barely even glanced at me once.

This woman... I sighed again. Last time at the movie theater, she called her husband a good-for-nothing, how come she's suddenly a virtuous and chaste woman?

"Excuse me, are you from the Luzhen town government?" a woman's light, crisp voice rang out.

I was instantly jolted out of my daze: I've lived in Luzhen for so long, but I've never seen a woman like this. It wasn't just beauty; it was beyond description. Li Mei, Liu Qingqing, Sister Juxiang... even Jiang Ailian beside me was beautiful, but standing next to this woman, they all paled in comparison.

Because of her aura, they all lacked that aura. It was like a beauty pageant; every woman was beautiful, but in the end, it was the aura that mattered.

Of course, it wasn't that Li Mei and the others lacked aura, but this woman knew how to dress perfectly. She seemed to understand her figure and appearance perfectly, using her clothes to accentuate her beauty.

Her face was delicate and pretty, her long hair was pulled back, her nose was high and straight, and a pair of moist, fragrant lips revealed slightly white teeth. She wore a half-cheongsam style dress that just reached her knees, revealing a section of smooth calves below, paired with skin-colored stockings and milky-white high heels.

Standing before me was this woman; Jiangnan has always been known for its beauties, and she in the cheongsam possessed a classical beauty that almost stunned me.

"Excuse me, are you from the Luzhen Town government?" she asked again before opening her lips.

"Oh, yes, yes," I quickly replied, snapping out of my daze. Jiang Ailian also recovered from her daze; it seemed not only men were captivated by such women, but even women couldn't resist her charm. "

I am Wang Hao, assistant to the mayor of Luzhen Town, and this is Jiang Ailian, the village head. Are you Ms. Xie Yuling?" I finally regained my composure and introduced her with a smile.

"Assistant Wang?" She hesitated for a moment, shook hands with both of us, and said, "Hello, I am Xie Yuling." She seemed a little surprised that I had become an assistant at such a young age.

"Welcome, welcome, a warm welcome!" I said, still savoring the smoothness of her skin from just moments before; it was like cream.

"Let me introduce you all, this is my husband, Liao Guozhong."

"Hello, hello! Hello, Mr. Liao!" I quickly shook hands again.

I was surprised again, though I didn't show it on my face. I just turned my head slightly to look at Jiang Ailian, who frowned and was also looking at me.

We both had the same feeling: a beautiful flower stuck in a pile of dung, absolutely a pile of dung.

This Liao Guozhong looked like a rubber ball, his eyes squeezed into slits by the excess fat on his face. He wore a dark blue suit that looked like a layer of wrapping paper.

Of course, his eyes weren't shrewd, but rather... lecherous! You could tell from how he held Jiang Ailian's hand tightly.

"Guozhong," Xie Yuling said in a sweet voice, "Go and hire two cars, we'll go straight back to Luzhen."

"Got it," the lecherous man said sheepishly, letting go of Jiang Ailian's hand and scurrying off.

I saw Jiang Ailian pull her hand away and secretly wipe it on her back; she seemed quite disgusted, which made me feel much better.

A little while later, Liao Guozhong ran back and led us to the two cars. Looking at the two disproportionately large human figures, I couldn't help but think of two lines of poetry: "

Cow dung, so damn strong!

Flowers, so damn beautiful!"

“Mr. Liao and I will ride in one car, and Miss Xie and Village Chief Jiang in the other!” Although I was eager to sit with Xie Yuling, I still spoke rationally.

“Well… I’ll ride with Assistant Wang, and I can also hear about the development of Luzhen over the years. Hehe, I’m quite interested in you, my young assistant.” She smiled sweetly, her demeanor captivating.

“Damn, this woman is absolutely mesmerizing.” I took a breath and glanced at Liao Guozhong, noticing that he didn’t seem dissatisfied at all, but rather excited.

“Miss Xie, let me introduce you. Assistant Wang has only been in Luzhen for less than three months, and he’s not familiar with many things.” Jiang Ailian interjected at this moment.

“Damn, this woman!” I looked at her face, wanting nothing more than to slap her, but I managed to smile and say, “Yes, Village Chief Jiang is the only female scholar in our Luzhen, quite remarkable. If you want to know anything, just ask…”

I helped them put their suitcases in the trunk. I wondered what was inside; they were quite heavy. Of course, I didn’t ask.

Once in the car, Liao Guozhong lowered the door and, surprisingly, adopted a serious

demeanor, pulling a pair of glasses from his suit jacket and looking at the scenery with great interest. "You think you're a cultured man just because you have a dead rat in your pocket and you dare to pretend to be a hunter?" I thought to myself, feeling a bit contemptuous. Then I smiled and said, "Mr. Liao, are you also from Luzhen?"

"Oh," he turned around and replied, "Do I look like one? Yuling is from Luzhen."

"Excuse me, I'd like to ask, which part of Luzhen is Miss Xie from? We've been searching for ages but haven't been able to find her exact birthplace."

I voiced this question that had been nagging at me for a long time.

"Can't find it?!" He looked at me with a puzzled expression. "Is your town government really that incompetent?"

"Ahem," I coughed, feeling quite annoyed, but still smiled and said, "Perhaps Miss Xie changed her name after she left."

"I don't know about that. By the way, are there many mountains in Luzhen?" he changed the subject.

"What, Mr. Liao, are you interested in the mineral deposits in the mountains? Our Luzhen is surrounded by mountains on three sides, don't you think there are a lot of mountains?"

"It's nothing, just asking, haha." The fat on his face loosened.

"Don't worry, Mr. Liao, just ask whatever you want to know. Although I haven't been in Luzhen for long, I can say there are very few things I don't know."

"That's good, that's good," he said, taking out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from his forehead. "I heard from Yuling that Luzhen is a very ancient place, with a beautiful environment of clear water and green mountains. You don't know, living in the city, all day long, tall buildings and cars, the noise is so loud, I'm tired of living here. Well, Yuling said she wanted to visit her hometown, so I came along to relax."

"Haha, Mr. Liao, you look like a successful person. May I ask where you work?" I complimented him, finally asking this important question.

"What's so great about it? It's just that Yuling... and Yuling started a company together. It's

nothing, just making a living." He stammered, and I knew he wasn't telling the truth, but I didn't mind. I changed the subject, saying, "Making a living? I bet a single hair of yours, Mr. Liao, is thicker than the thighs of us farmers."

"Oh, no, no," he quickly shook his head, then excitedly pulled out a large, dark thing, like a brick, and proudly placed it in front of me, saying, "Do you know what this is?"

"What?" To be honest, it was the first time I'd ever seen something like this.

"A mobile phone!" he said proudly, holding it in his hand.

After his explanation, I understood; it was a mobile phone, a bit bulky, but definitely looked expensive.

"How much does this mobile phone cost?" Seeing him showing off, I naturally showed great interest, satisfying his vanity.

"Twenty-eight thousand yuan."

"So expensive?" I was truly stunned this time.

"Of course, it's made by a big foreign manufacturer like Ericsson. One yuan per minute for a call."

I realized my lack of knowledge for the first time, looking at this dark-skinned guy and asking, "Can this make calls now?"

"No, the local telecom office doesn't have it." He shook his head.

Chapter Sixty-Eight: An Awkward Moment
When the car arrived at the town government gate, we saw Li Mei leading a group of people standing on the street to welcome us, with a large banner in front: Welcome Ms. Xie Yuling back to invest! Of course, all of this was my suggestion; we wanted her to feel the sincerity of her hometown people.

As soon as we stopped, firecrackers went off incessantly, and a band of elementary school students began to play, though their playing was rather erratic.

The whole scene was very lively; people on the street gathered at the town government gate, watching us, some even clapping. They already knew about Xie Yuling's investment in her hometown.

After everyone got off the bus and finished their introductions, before we could even speak, Xie Yuling gave a wink, and Liao Guozhong immediately took out his purse and paid the fare. Seeing my sister-in-law looking at me, I quickly took out my money as well, but Liao Guozhong wouldn't let me pay; he was clearly a wealthy man. The fare from the city to Luzhen was over two hundred yuan for two buses, and he didn't even blink.

Originally, there was no guesthouse in the town, and given the limited resources, we planned to have Xie Yuling and her husband stay in the county. Unexpectedly, this suggestion was flatly rejected. According to Xie Yuling, she was also a native of Luzhen, and it wasn't easy for her to come back; this trip was to reconnect with her hometown.

After welcoming the two into the reception room, all other people were kept outside, leaving only the village officials. After expressing her gratitude again, Xie Yuling sat on the stage and began to speak: "First of all, my husband and I sincerely thank the leaders of the Luzhen government and the folks of our hometown for their care and help. Returning to my hometown from so far away, I deeply feel the care and greetings from my family and friends. In fact, all these years away from home, I've constantly thought of my parents' care and selfless concern..." She

was indeed a woman who had traveled extensively; her words flowed smoothly. I glanced at the people below; they were all listening intently, showing great interest.

"My main purpose in returning home this time is to investigate the development environment of Luzhen and determine investment projects. In this regard, I hope the Luzhen government and its leaders will provide strong support..."

I secretly glanced at Xie Yuling sitting next to me. The fragrance emanating from her body lingered in my nostrils. Unexpectedly, through the slit of her peony-patterned cheongsam-style dress, I glimpsed her fair thighs, her legs slightly parted and trembling slightly.

Although her thighs were covered by stockings of a similar skin tone, their smooth, jade-like skin made me feel hot all over.

With Xie Yuling's movements, I lowered my head, stealing glances with lingering affection, regretting that I couldn't pull this beautiful woman into my arms and kiss her!

Sitting on the stage, this voyeurism only heightened my excitement. I wasn't worried about the audience seeing me, because the angle meant they could only see me with my head down, not that they noticed my gaze.

Suddenly, I felt a small hand touch my leg, gently pinching my thigh.

"It's my sister-in-law!" She had been watching my gaze, and sitting to my side, she could easily see my change in expression. Then she nudged me with her leg, reminding me to be mindful of my image; it seemed she was jealous.

I shifted my gaze to her thigh, and sure enough, her face flushed, and she consciously rubbed against my thigh. Even through my pants, I felt a cool, stimulating sensation.

Her calves were very white, without a single scar. I couldn't resist reaching out and touching them.

Li Mei immediately straightened up, moving closer to the table to block everyone's view.

Remembering the time I spied on Mao Tou and Aunt Meiqin, that thrill surged back into my mind. I no longer cared about the occasion and boldly reached for her leg, pulling her skirt up slightly.

Sure enough, Li Mei, who was looking at her speech, paused. Although her expression didn't change, she sensed my next move.

The people on and off the stage continued smoking or listening to the report, occasionally pointing at Xie Yuling on the stage and whispering amongst themselves, completely unaware of our little exchange under the table.

Li Mei frowned, but naturally, she couldn't make a sound in this setting. Subtly, she pulled her leg back slightly, tightening her legs, hoping I would back down.

Since she had started it, how could I let her have her way? My hand continued its ravages, clinging tightly to her smooth skin.

Her hand slowly reached down, grabbed my hand, and flung it aside. But a moment later, my hand, like a stubborn plaster, stuck to her again.

After several rounds, Li Mei knew she couldn't shake me off, so she lowered her head, sullenly reading her manuscript, glaring at me resentfully from the corner of her eye, while the leg I was caressing trembled incessantly.

Li Mei's leg skin was so beautiful, so delicate and elastic to the touch; the feeling was like a sweet nectar.

Finally, the long meeting ended, and I announced its adjournment. The crowd immediately surged out.

"Sister-in-law, what's wrong?" Liu Qingqing came forward and asked with concern.

"It's...it's hot." Li Mei stammered, then looked at Xie Yuling and said, "Miss Xie, let me show you the place I've arranged for you. See if you're satisfied. If not, I'll find you another place."

Seeing that there were already three people accompanying me, I declared my mission complete. It was getting late, so I walked over to Li Mei's house, wanting to see if Li Jing was feeling better. I had been worried about her these past few days in the city.

"Sister, you're back?" Li Jing asked immediately upon hearing the door open.

"It's me!" I said, stepping into the bedroom.

"Ah Hao!" Li Jing had just gotten up from the toilet.

I stared at this person wearing only underwear and was immediately stunned.

"You...you quickly close your eyes." Li Jing hurriedly ran to the bedside and covered herself with the sheet.

"Oh," I realized then that Li Jing was only sleeping in her underwear and hadn't expected me to come in so suddenly.

She quickly put on a pink and white spaghetti strap low-cut sheer nightgown, adorned with two cartoon Mickey Mouse figures, subtly revealing her snow-white breasts. The nightgown billowed, revealing her slender, fair legs, and she wore brown slippers on her jade-like feet. She still looked as if she had just woken up, her long, glossy black hair cascading over her shoulders, creating a unique allure in the bedroom. Looking at Xiaoqing's charming face framed by her long hair, and the ample bosom faintly visible beneath the thin nightgown, I couldn't help but feel a burning desire within me.

Her slender figure was also quite voluptuous, exuding a womanly charm, especially with the two red-trimmed stripes on her chest accentuating the graceful curves of her breasts. All of this was enough to make my heart flutter, especially since I hadn't been with any woman for the past few days.

"Ah Hao, what are you doing here?" Seeing my gaze, she awkwardly covered her lower body, trying to hide anything inappropriate from me.

"Oh, I just got back. See if you're feeling better? Still in pain?" I said, plopping down on the bed. Li Jing stood beside me, and from this angle, I could see her beautiful breasts, their slightly trembling fullness practically bursting out.

I immediately felt a rush of heat to my nose, as if blood was flowing.

"I'm completely healed, it's just..." Li Jing's voice was like cotton candy, soft and sweet, sticking to my heart.

"What are you standing there for? Sit down." Looking at this full body so close to me, I couldn't control myself and reached out to pull Li Jing to sit beside me.

"Don't touch me...don't touch me with your feet," Li Jing knew me well, quickly stopping me when she saw my reaction.

"We haven't seen each other for so many days, let's kiss." Looking at Li Jing's high nose, her small, red lips, her large eyes closed, her flushed face full of shyness. I felt a sudden surge of energy, a dizzying sensation washing over me. Unable to resist any longer, I lowered my head and slowly approached her small mouth, gently touching her soft, moist lips, feeling their heat.

The instant I touched her, Li Jing instinctively tried to pull away, but I held her tightly in my arms, ravaging her red lips.

At first, Li Jing resisted somewhat, but in wave after wave of passion, her slightly restrained body gradually softened, her small hands scratching haphazardly at my back, letting out low moans.

Holding this beautiful woman in my arms, I was overcome with lust, my senses seemingly out of control. It was as if that desire, hidden in every cell of my body, was bursting forth like bamboo shoots after a spring rain, spreading wildly to every corner.

Almost instinctively, my large hands, through the gap between us, climbed up her soft, full breasts, ravaging them outside her nightgown. Although I didn't directly touch Li Jing's smooth skin, the warmth of her skin only fueled my fascination, making me want to explore more.

Gradually, Li Jing became unsteady on her feet and we slowly fell onto the soft bed together. Throughout the entire process, we were inseparable, greedily savoring each other's fragrance.

Li Jing's large eyes shone with boundless allure, her jade-like hands tightly wrapped around my neck, her smooth, delicate body writhing in my arms like an eel swimming in water.

We kissed passionately, our budding passion growing rapidly like wild grass on a wasteland. My large hands held Li Jing's long hair, her smooth, black hair streaked with sweat, clinging to her fair, beautiful cheeks, with a few strands cascading down her white shoulders.

With our movements, the buttons on her nightgown had somehow come undone, revealing her snow-white breasts.

We held each other tightly, panting and passionately kissing. I watched Li Jing's slightly closed almond-shaped eyes, her breath coming in short gasps, inhaling her faint fragrance, and feeling her soft, boneless body. My hand slowly touched her full breasts, feeling their tender softness, like plump balloons. I couldn't resist any longer, and I reached down to unbutton my pants, then pulled open her thin nightgown, seeking more heat.

"Ah Hao, don't do this!" Li Jing quickly stopped me.

Hearing her words, I stopped again. Feeling very frustrated, I lay flat on the bed, forgetting that she hadn't finished yet!

"Put your pants back on..." she said, playfully punching me.

Only then did I realize my desire was rising. Seeing Li Jing's wanting yet shy eyes, I became excited and suddenly stripped naked.

"Ah!" She immediately covered her eyes.

"What are you afraid of? You'll see me every day after we get married anyway." I laughed and pressed myself against her.

"You pervert! You scoundrel!" she angrily punched me, already feeling my burning body.

When I took her little hand to guide her, she recoiled almost as if stung by a scorpion. It was her first time facing something like this, and she felt both curiosity about the unknown and the shyness and fear typical of girls.

"Don't be afraid," I said, almost as gently as the Big Bad Wolf coaxing Little Red Riding Hood.

After some initial hesitation, Li Jing finally realized my stubbornness and simply rested her head on my chest, her small hands starting to move.

I felt a tightness in my chest, a surge of heat flowing through my veins; my emotions were like flames in a stove, burning ever brighter.

My restless hands began to explore Li Jing's body. "Mmm..." Suddenly, Li Jing lifted her head, looking at me shyly, "Don't do this..." Seeing that I didn't stop, she suddenly increased her pressure.

"Gently... what if you hurt me?" I said exaggeratedly.

"It would be better if you hurt me, then you wouldn't have to bother me." Saying this, Li Jing blushed and rested her head on my shoulder again, her long hair cascading down, covering her face and my chest, making it impossible for me to see her face, but this only added to the excitement.

I gently smoothed Li Jing's hair, and her body suddenly trembled, gripping my chest tightly, refusing to stop.

"Are you alright?" I looked at her teasingly.

Li Jing's pretty face suddenly flushed red, then she nodded, her small lips a vibrant red. Her alluring beauty was so captivating that no man could resist.

I suddenly remembered Li Mei; that time in the kitchen, she used her mouth…

“Okay… let’s get dressed!” Li Jing finally snapped out of her reverie and hurriedly pulled the blanket over herself.

“But I’m not done yet… this isn’t good for my health,” I lied to her with a worried expression.

“Then what should we do?” she asked anxiously.

“How about you…” I whispered in her ear.

“No…”

As we were struggling, clear voices came from outside the door, and then someone opened it. Instantly, my desire vanished, and my passion disappeared.

Damn it, I stopped in frustration.

"Hurry, it's my sister..." Li Jing was very flustered. "Oh, and Qingqing too..."

We both frantically cleaned up the mess. Just as I finished, Li Mei had already walked out of the bedroom and seemed to say to Liu Qingqing, "Xiao Jing is probably still sleeping. I'll go wake her up."

"No need, let's go together. I was just about to see her anyway." Hearing the voice, Liu Qingqing followed.

"Is that your sister-in-law?" I quickly asked, hoping to delay for a minute. Li Jing was still wearing her bra.

"Ah Hao is here too," Li Mei said, somewhat surprised. "Is Xiao Jing up?"

"Ah, yes, she's up!" I had barely answered when I realized something was wrong. My sister-in-law and Liu Qingqing had already come in.

"Xiao Jing, how are you feeling?" Because the room was relatively dark, she didn't notice anything wrong with Li Jing.

"I'm fine, much better. Qingqing's here too," Li Jing sat up in bed, wrapped in a sheet, and greeted them. She covered herself completely so that her sister-in-law and the others wouldn't notice anything unusual.

"I heard from my sister-in-law that you were sick, so I came to see you." Liu Qingqing said, sitting down on the edge of the bed and pulling up the sheet.

Suddenly, a small object fell to the floor. Before we could react, Liu Qingqing had already bent down to pick it up.

What was this? We were all stunned… Li Jing's pink panties that she had just taken off?! She hadn't put them on!!

Chapter Sixty-Nine: Village Chronicles .
The four of us were like puppets, especially Liu Qingqing, who had forgotten what to do with the pink object.

"This…it's not…I…" I quickly grabbed the delicate object and stuffed it into my pocket.

At this moment, my sister-in-law and Liu Qingqing also realized

what had happened and looked at Li Jing. "It's not what you think…we didn't do anything…" Li Jing knew that explaining would only make things worse, her face growing increasingly red, and finally, under their gazes, she simply stopped explaining.

"Sister-in-law, why did you come back so quickly? Did you find out which village Xie Yuling is from?" I quickly changed the subject.

“It’s nothing much. They’re not as picky as some city people. They looked at the room and nodded. I also found out about the other place. It belongs to Xie Yuling in Xiaohe. But Xie Yuling has had a tough life. She lost both her parents at a young age, and then a relative adopted her. She didn’t receive much help from the villagers when she was in Luzhen. It’s really not easy for her to be able to come back to her hometown and do something for Luzhen now. I really admire her!” Li Mei said sincerely.

“How do you know so much, sister-in-law?” I looked at her in surprise.

“Of course,” Li Mei said, seeing that the three of us were listening attentively. “That was when I was seven or eight years old. I remember it happened in the summer, during a long, rainy August. It rained for half a month straight. The little river behind our house overflowed the street. Our school was closed, and the crops were almost all flooded. People were desperately waiting for relief food from above, but back then it wasn’t like now. There wasn’t a main road out of town; even a small path was flooded. In the end, people from the county delivered food to us in small boats. Xie Yuling’s house was right by the river, and by the time the county rescue team arrived, she was the only one left.”

I was somewhat silent. This was the great flood of the 75th year of the Great Qin Dynasty. How many towns were affected? I had heard the older generation tell similar stories. My mother told me that everyone in the city was mobilized to make black glutinous rice cakes, steamed buns, and sorghum pancakes—basically, they brought out all the usable food to support the disaster area.

Hearing such stories again naturally filled me with even more emotion.

“Xie Yuling also said that her life was given to her by the villagers, so she wants to give back to her hometown now that she has money,” Liu Qingqing said with some emotion.

“It’s rare for her to think like that,” I also praised.

“But Xie Yuling is really beautiful, isn’t she, Ahao?” Liu Qingqing suddenly changed the subject.

“Yes…no,” I answered, only to realize that this girl had set a trap for me, and I was both amused and exasperated.

“Why are you afraid to answer? I saw you constantly glancing at her during the meeting.” Liu Qingqing probably remembered what Li Jing and I had just done, and she was a little jealous, not letting me off the hook.

“Of course Xie Yuling is beautiful,” I said confidently, “but…” I changed the subject.

“But what?”

“But…she’s incomparable to our Xiao Jing. In my heart, Li Jing is a thousand times more beautiful than her.” I said “righteously.”

“Sour, you’re already calling her ‘our Xiao Jing’ before you’re even married,” my sister-in-law said coquettishly.

Seeing Li Jing's rosy cheeks and the joy in her eyes, she was definitely satisfied with my performance.

"Xie Yuling is quite pretty, and her husband..." Liu Qingqing blurted out.

"Qingqing, don't talk nonsense. They're here to set up a factory..." Li Mei interrupted.

"What are you afraid of? Everyone here is family. Why are you worried about it getting out? Besides, I didn't say anything. I just don't like that Liao Guozhong. He was giving us lecherous looks just now. Miss Xie didn't say anything to him."

"Yeah, that Liao Guozhong is really annoying." My sister-in-law nodded.

I didn't think so. I rode in the same car as Liao Guozhong. Although I felt he had a bit of nouveau riche arrogance, I could tell from his eloquent speech that he was quite knowledgeable. He could talk about the history of Utopia over thousands of years with great fluency, and he had unique insights into the history of the Ming Dynasty in modern times. It's normal for such knowledge to come from a historian, but you can imagine how shocking it is when it comes from a nouveau riche. So I gradually changed my impression of Liao Guozhong; this man is not simple.

"What's annoying? Looking like a pig's head, yet always pretending to be rich with that dark brick in his hand."

I burst out laughing. Pig's head, that description is quite apt. "That's not a brick, it's a mobile phone?" I explained.

"Liao Guozhong told you too, he bragged about it to us for ages," my sister-in-law said with a laugh.

But the absurdity didn't end there. Liao Guozhong loved to show off, boasting about his mobile phone to everyone he met. A week later, almost every bedwetting child in Luzhen knew he had a talking "brick."

We had originally planned to invite Xie Yuling to dinner, but my sister-in-law said she declined, choosing to stay with the residents instead. We heard she even gave the residents a considerable amount of money, which made us feel even more guilty.

Liu Qingqing didn't go home for lunch either. We ate lunch together at my sister-in-law's house. Liu Qingqing always seemed to be at odds with me, which annoyed me for a long time. After lunch, I went to work at the town government early by myself.

"Ah Hao's here! Why are you at work so early this afternoon?" Old Sun poked his head out as soon as I reached the town government gate.

"Oh, nothing much to do at home, so I came early. Didn't we have two rare guests visiting our town? What if they need something and can't find anyone at the town government?"

"That's true, Ah Hao, come inside and sit down. We haven't chatted in a while."

"I wouldn't dare to trespass on your sanctuary. What if you kick me out?" I was still a bit upset about being indirectly kicked out by Old Sun last time. It was just a tattered local gazetteer; why was he so angry?

"Hehe," Old Sun scratched his head sheepishly, then said, "You're the leader, so please don't hold a grudge. I forgot..."

"Uncle Sun, stop..." I quickly stopped him. "Aren't you shortening my lifespan? How old am I?"

I said, walking into the yard, opening the door, and sitting down in a chair without any ceremony.

"Ah Hao, what... who came here?" Old Sun asked, looking at me.

"Xie Yuling, what, you wouldn't happen to be...?" I asked maliciously, noticing the lecherous glint in his eyes.

"What nonsense are you spouting? How old am I? I don't need to stoop to your level, you kids." Old Sun snapped angrily.

"But you read 'The Happy Couple' too, don't you?" I retorted irritably.

"What do you mean, 'read'... I read it occasionally, you know?... Oh, right, you should have finished reading that book by now

. When are you returning it to me?" Old Sun suddenly snapped out of his daze, staring at me intently. "Right away, right away," I said evasively, though I honestly had no idea where the book was.

"Remember to return it soon." Fortunately, Old Sun didn't pursue the matter this time, but continued, "I heard that Xie Yuling used to be from our Lu Town?"

"Yes, from Xiaohe Xie." I answered casually.

"Xiaohe Xie?" Old Sun frowned.

"What, do you know her?" I asked, puzzled by his strange expression.

“I don’t know her. Do you know who her parents are? If you tell me, I might recognize them,” he asked again.

“I don’t know, but her parents died a long time ago.” I repeated what my sister-in-law had told me.

“This Xie Yuling is a bit strange!” Old Sun muttered.

“You’re the strange one,”

“Really,” he said confidently, “Did you notice her intonation?”

“What intonation?”

“What sound does she make when she says ‘car’?”

“Damn, how would I know?”

“We all say ‘get off the car,’ but she says ‘get off the car’.”

“That’s because her Mandarin isn’t standard.”

“It’s a dialect from a place in the north,” Old Sun said confidently.

“What place?”

“Bianjing City.”

“Oh, what does that mean?” I asked, puzzled.

"That means Xie Yuling is from Bianjing City."

"Ugh, you think just one mispronunciation makes you think so much? By the way, how do you know that's the pronunciation of Bianjing City?"

"I...I heard someone from Bianjing say it before."

"Alright, enough of your nonsense. I have things to do, I'm leaving." Old Sun was spouting nonsense, judging people based on just one word's pronunciation.

I felt there was no point in chatting with him, although I was interested in his local history book, but unfortunately, the old guy treated it like a treasure, and I couldn't find it on his desk anymore.

"Don't go, let's chat a bit more," Old Sun urged. "What

's there to chat about? She's not staying in Luzhen for a day or two, there's nothing more for you to know." I said, walking out the door, going to my office, and turning on the fan. The cool air calmed me.

Not long after, my sister-in-law and Liu Qingqing came to work. The three of us chatted for a while before returning to our posts. We had to arrange for someone to accompany Xie Yuling and her husband to Xiaohe Xie's parents' graves that afternoon.

Around 3 PM, Xie Yuling and her husband finally entered our office, though both had changed their clothes. Xie Yuling was as beautiful and alluring as ever, bringing the latest trends from this southern coastal city. Her outfit alone drew envious glances from my sisters-in-law; after all, what woman doesn't love beauty?

Liao Guozhong, on the other hand, stood ramrod straight. Although it didn't match his large belly, the glasses made him look less unattractive and even gave him a scholarly air that made him approachable.

"Miss Xie, are you comfortable here?" I asked after everyone was seated.

"What's there to be uncomfortable about? Businessmen travel all over the country; as the saying goes, 'Be the boss by day, sleep on the floor at night.' We've been through the toughest conditions."

"That's right, three years ago in Northeast China..." Liao Guozhong suddenly interrupted.

"Ahem..." Xie Yuling coughed abruptly, and Liao Guozhong immediately stopped.

We all sensed something was amiss, and the atmosphere became somewhat tense.

"I'm sorry, I lost my composure just now. That fur business in Northeast China cost me over a hundred thousand yuan. I almost didn't even have enough money for the trip home. I never like people bringing that up in front of me," Xie Yuling explained apologetically.

"Over a hundred thousand?" All three of us gasped.

"Over a hundred thousand is nothing. We make more than that in profit from a single deal," Liao Guozhong boasted again, but this time Xie Yuling didn't stop him.

Gradually, we started talking about other topics, like the local customs and culture of Luzhen. Liao Guozhong, in particular, was very enthusiastic.

"Guozhong, don't you like studying history? Don't underestimate Luzhen just because it's small. It has a long history. This place is worth studying."

"Yes, yes, Assistant Wang, do you have the local history of Luzhen? Let me see it. Hehe, I want to do some research," Liao Guozhong said with a smile.

"Local history?" My hand suddenly stopped.

"What, is it inconvenient? Then I won't look at it," he said, somewhat disappointed.

"It's nothing, it's nothing. I just felt that we were on the same wavelength. I also like to read local chronicles to understand the customs and culture of a place," I quickly replied.

"He's always carrying around a tattered local history book, gesturing to the map of Luzhen. It's driving us both crazy," Liu Qingqing said.

"Assistant Wang has this kind of interest too? I thought only Guozhong liked these kinds of odd hobbies," Xie Yuling said, a strange light flashing on her face.

"I'm not really interested. We're here to help with poverty alleviation in Luzhen, so we have to do something practical. I thought it would be a waste not to utilize this mountain. Maybe we could open a quarry or plant some economic fruit trees or something."

"Assistant Wang is a good cadre. He cares about the people. There aren't many cadres like him," Xie Yuling praised.

"He's just messing around. Who would dare to do anything with this mountain? If they run into a monster, it's no joke," the sister-in-law said, realizing she had misspoke. She had made the place sound menacing. What if she scared Xie Yuling away

? "A monster?" Liao Guozhong looked up.

"No, I mean..." the sister-in-law stammered.

"Hehe, it's nothing. I knew that when I was in Luzhen, we just didn't go up the mountain." Xie Yuling didn't react much.

"Here, this is the local history book," I said, taking it out of the drawer and patting it. "There are only two in Luzhen. Return it quickly after you've finished reading."

"Definitely, definitely." Liao Guozhong was a little happy, and Xie Yuling smiled slightly at me and said, "Thank you for your trouble, Assistant Wang. Guozhong is just like that; he'll do anything for a book he likes."

"All scholars love books," I said with an understanding expression.

"Alright, it's getting late. How about we accompany Miss Xie to your parents' graves to offer incense to the two elders?"

"No need, no need," Xie Yuling said hurriedly. "I'm already very sorry to have troubled you these past few days. Offering incense to the elders is my duty as a daughter. Guozhong and I can go together."

"How can that be? We already agreed to go with Miss Xie."

"Isn't that inappropriate?" Xie Yuling looked at Liao Guozhong with some difficulty.

Chapter Seventy: The Secret of Deer Town, Du Chunling's Drunkenness.
In the end, Xie Yuling didn't let us accompany them; she only asked us to see them off from the town government and then refused to see them off any further.

Looking at Xie Yuling's retreating figure, I felt a pang of emotion. She wasn't strikingly beautiful, but she possessed a natural elegance, graceful in every step.

Especially her long, slender legs encased in crystal-clear flesh-colored stockings, their smooth, shapely lines complementing her clothes, making her fair skin appear even more translucent, like crystal. It was simply breathtaking; such a woman would be the center of attention wherever she went.

"Hey, hey, if you keep staring, your eyes are going to pop out! Pick them up!" Liu Qingqing suddenly patted my shoulder.

"What?" I finally snapped out of my daze.

"Pervert! Come on, sister-in-law, let's go back!" Liu Qingqing said, pulling Li Mei's shoulder, and led her back into the office.

"Ah Hao, wait." Sure enough, seeing them go upstairs, Old Sun immediately called out to me. I could see clearly that Old Sun's eyes hadn't left Xie Yuling's side since she came out, constantly peeking from the gatehouse.

"Come out, they're gone," I said irritably.

"Hehe," Old Sun scratched his head, then came out of the house, looking at me and asking, "What are they doing? Why didn't they send someone to go with them?"

"Going to Xiaohe Xie's grave. We wanted to go with them, but they wouldn't let us; they wanted to do their filial duty alone."

"Then no one would know if they didn't go to the grave," Old Sun said sarcastically.

"Damn, are you out of your mind? Who goes to a place and doesn't go to a grave?" I looked at Old Sun strangely, not understanding what he meant.

"No, what I mean is, if they weren't from Xiaohe Xie, no one would know if they went to the wrong grave?"

"You..." I was speechless. "Who would be so bored as to burn incense at someone else's ancestral grave? You still suspect them?"

"Actually, they chose Xiaohe Xie for a reason," Old Sun suddenly said mysteriously.

"What's their purpose?" I couldn't help but laugh at his expression.

"Xiaohe Xie's grave isn't far from the riverbank, just over a mile away. They must have gone to explore the ancient tombs there."

"Haha!" I laughed so hard I could barely close my mouth. This old man Sun was too good at joking. Did he think I was some child who hadn't grown up yet? Two city folks rashly going into Xiaohe Xie to rob a tomb, one with delicate skin and the other looking like a pig, and they thought they could do it?

"They can't fill it up, they can't fill it up. Gold and silver treasures on the riverbank, they must be going to the riverbank." Old man Sun said confidently.

I knew about this riverbank. It was said that someone had seen a dragon there before, and it was a golden dragon, but I thought it was pure nonsense.

Of course, we painters of exorcism emphasize using exorcism in our paintings, using the unreal to represent the real, and even using dragons to control water. But I can guarantee that even my master himself had never seen a dragon, and he didn't even believe that dragons existed in this world. Perhaps dragons should be seen more as a kind of spirit, or as having a mythical quality, like our ancestors, who were called descendants of the dragon.

"You don't believe me?" Old Sun could tell from my expression that I didn't believe it at all.

"Uncle Sun, please forgive me. I don't know why you're so suspicious of Xie Yuling. If you say Xie Yuling came to Luzhen for other purposes, I'll believe you, but I simply don't believe you found something on the riverbank."

"Why?!" Old Sun asked, looking at me. For a moment, I was a little dazed because I realized that his impression of me was completely different from usual.

"If there is anything, find some for me to see." I patted Old Sun's shoulder and walked out with a smile. Actually, the more important reason I didn't say was that they went empty-handed, which was the real reason I was relieved.

"Really nothing?" He suddenly stared at my back and called out, "What if I can prove it?"

"Prove it? Are you kidding me?" I turned around and looked at him in surprise. "Uncle Sun, are you having an old age problem? Why are you doing such unpredictable things these days?"

"Come with me!" He suddenly stomped his foot and waved for me to follow him into the small house.

"The Annals of Luzhen Township?" Sure enough, Old Sun pulled out that Annals of Luzhen Township again and showed it to me.

"Liu Feng, it's that Liu Feng again." I get a headache just seeing that name now. I don't know what's wrong with this prince of the Great Han Kingdom. He's silent in history, but his name is famous in Luzhen.

"Look here," he said, pointing to a line of text.

"The Mystery of Liu Feng's Murder and Hidden Gold"

It contained some scattered records:

"(Tang) In the winter of the 59th year of Emperor Shun, a shepherd found a scabbard at the mouth of a small river. He reported it to the Luzhou government, which sent people to search the river for several days and found 10,000 taels of silver, as well as jewels and jade." "

(Song) In the second year of Hongyou of Emperor Taizu, there was a mutiny in Luzhou and the commander was killed. The Song Dynasty sent General Yang Jing to attack Luzhou and sent 500 soldiers to dig for gold on the riverbank. They found nothing and were about to withdraw when, unexpectedly, a soldier accidentally dug in the silt and found a silver ingot with the inscription: 'August of the 16th year of Emperor Han, 50 taels of silver,' the characters clearly visible." He then ordered his soldiers to dig, but they found nothing after digging three feet into the ground.

At that time, a fisherman named Sun Xiaoyou was fishing in the river when he found a gold ingot on the riverbank, inscribed with "Fifty taels of gold from the Yukou kiln in Luzhou"

...

The list above included many examples, the last one being ten years after the founding of the Qin Dynasty. The time span wasn't very long, so it seemed the story of gold and silver on the riverbank was true. Before I could even speak, Old Sun flipped to another page.

He pointed to it and said, "Take another look.

In April of the eleventh year of Chunwu, two dragons, one black and one white, appeared on Dragon Mountain. Princess Liu Feng led the officials of the prefecture in a sacrificial ceremony about two hundred paces from the dragons...

" "Is this the Liu Feng who rebelled?" I asked, puzzled.

"Yes, Liu Feng rebelled because he saw the dragons."

"Nonsense," I laughed dismissively. In ancient times, which rebellion didn't involve some kind of miracle? For example, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang pretended to be foxes crying in the middle of the night and stuffed cinnabar books into the bellies of fish.

"Let's set aside the truth of this matter for now. What I want to say is that Liu Feng's rebellion was suppressed in less than a month. His military pay has never been found, but it's certain that it's hidden in Luzhen, most likely in Xiaohetan. And Xiaohetan is near where Xie Yuling's parents are buried. Don't you think that's too much of a coincidence?"

"Yes," after Old Sun's analysis, I did find this matter a bit strange: "How do you know about this?" A question immediately arose in my mind.

"I just like to study random things." Old Sun said.

Wait, Xie Yuling also mentioned this. Liao Guozhong also asked me for a local history, but that local history was empty.

"Why is so much content missing from the local history kept in the town archives?" I stared at Old Sun and asked.

"Oh, it's said that this matter was deleted during the campaign to destroy the Four Olds and eliminate feudal superstition. My copy is from shortly after the founding of the Great Qin Kingdom."

Old Sun said this with some unease.

"Oh," I hesitated for a moment, then said, "We can't conclude that they're here to dig up graves based on a local chronicle. Besides, they're our guests now. Let's just let this go and not mention it again."

"Ah Hao...!"

"Don't say anything more. Unless there's clear evidence, there's no point in talking. You can also report it to the local police station. They'll handle it. Okay, I'm warning you again, they're here to invest in Luzhen."

After saying that, I walked out without looking back, not even glancing at Old Sun again.

"Ah Hao, wait a minute..." he still called out unwillingly.

I only laughed heartily when no one was around. Finally, I was out of the loop. My investigation in Luzhen for so long had finally paid off. It seemed like today was a good omen. I suddenly felt like having a drink. I'll call my master tomorrow.

"Assistant Wang, you're off work so early?" I had just reached Du Chunling's door when she suddenly called out to me.

"Big sister, it's you!" I was startled. I'd been busy with Xie Yuling's affairs these past few days and hadn't bothered Zhao Ergou, so I'd been too embarrassed to show my face in front of her.

"Assistant Wang, I have something to tell you." Seeing no one on the street, she pulled me into the house and quickly closed the door.

"What is it?"

"Come with me." She said, dragging me to the backyard, which turned out to be the bedroom.

It seemed she'd come prepared; the table was full of food and a bottle of baijiu. So timely? Before I could even think about the trick, she'd already poured me a glass.

We drank back and forth, and soon the wine was gone. She was almost drunk in my arms.

I'd been pent up for days, and with this happy occasion, I was in high spirits. I naturally accepted it without hesitation. The next moment, Du Chunling was in my arms, and before she could react, I'd sealed her lips with mine. The strong smell of alcohol filled my nostrils, and her thin shirt, covering her full breasts, clung to my body, making me feel hot and restless.

"Are you drunk?" I asked, somewhat surprised. I kissed her cold, red lips, unbuttoning her shirt one button at a time. My cool palms touched her delicate skin, sending a surge of heat through me.

"...Ugh!" she responded softly, her arms tightly wrapped around my neck, a soft sob escaping her throat.

I lifted her up, carrying her into the room and gently placing her on the bed. I loosened her restraints with kisses. Throughout the entire process, Du Chunling stared at me with wide eyes, making me feel uneasy, as if I'd been taken advantage of…

The summer sunset streamed through the curtains, tickling my face. I opened my eyes and saw Du Chunling sitting upright, looking at me. Her naked body shone with a jade-like luster, incredibly alluring, stirring my heart. In just a few seconds, I sobered up, fully remembering what had just happened.

"You're awake?" She pulled the sheet up, covering herself. I'm always so frustrated. Women are all like that; they've already done it, yet they're afraid of being seen.

"Hmm," I nodded, reaching for the bedside table to grab a glass of water. It had been a long time since I'd been this wild, and I felt incredibly tired.

Before I could even reach the glass, Du Chunling slid into my arms like a slippery eel.

"You're really something. How about you stay at my place tonight?" she said shyly, which surprised me. In our earlier frenzy, she'd been even wilder and bolder than me.

"No," I shook my head apologetically. I knew this lonely woman needed company, but it wasn't possible now; I had more important things to do.

She was speechless for a moment, then looked at me and said, "You're such a bastard! You don't want to take any responsibility after you've taken me. I regret it now!"

"Regret what?"

"Regret sleeping with you, you bastard." She suddenly went berserk, biting my neck.

"Are you crazy?" I quickly pushed her away, noticing a red mark on my shoulder that stung.

"I'm fucking crazy, what do you want?" Du Chunling glared at me, like a fighting rooster about to bite me again.

Looking at her snow-white body, a surge of desire rose within me. Alcohol is when men are most excited, and I was no exception, especially with a naked woman in front of me. "Forget it, get up quickly, I have things to do tonight." I grabbed a blanket to cover myself.

"Want some?" She pressed her body against mine from behind, her full breasts pressing against my back.

"Damn, you think I'm a pushover?" I flipped her over again, pinning her beneath me, and a fierce battle ensued that night.

"Get out, don't touch me, you bastard!" She suddenly began to resist. I never expected her to act so innocent at this moment. I ignored her and roughly pressed her body down.

After our frenzy, she finally calmed down, panting in my arms, and said, "You raped me, you bastard."

"You're sick, you were screaming louder than a pig being slaughtered," I retorted.

"I'm fucking sick, I'm a slut, okay?" She suddenly burst into tears, turning over to put on her clothes.

"What's wrong?" I hadn't expected such a strong reaction from a single sentence.

"Nothing, get up right now, get up, get out of here." Her temper flared faster than turning the pages of a book.

She's really sick, we're both sick, I thought bitterly to myself, then put on my clothes as well. I'm sure what I said earlier must have offended her. Everyone has their own story, and I wouldn't be so curious as to pry into someone else's privacy.

A strange feeling lingered in my mind as I walked. Actually, being with Du Chunling wasn't bad; it gave me a long-suppressed thrill, allowing me to release everything, shed my pretense, and be completely uninhibited.

The aftereffects of drinking were now fully apparent; my brain felt like it was under a tight band, both dizzy and throbbing.

Of course, perhaps I had been too indulgent tonight and hadn't noticed anything different about Du Chunling. If I were sober, I definitely wouldn't have acted this way.

Being drunk is truly awful. By now it was completely dark. I rubbed my stomach and continued walking down the street.
