"Qiao Sheng… will be punished as he deserves. You don't have to be afraid anymore."
Yan Su's tone was cold.
Lin Luo looked at the sky. It was before dawn, so the moonlight could still be vaguely seen.
"When did I say I was afraid?" Lin Luo tilted her head. "Did you guard outside all night because of what I said yesterday? Did you stand in the cold all night?"
Yan Su was speechless.
He frowned slightly as he stared at Lin Luo with mixed emotions for a few seconds.
Then…
He snatched the handkerchief back.
With that, he turned around and left.
"Hey, I haven't finished using it yet." Lin Luo jumped off the wall and followed behind Yan Su.
Perhaps because two negatives made a positive, although Lin Luo wasn't a talkative person, in front of Yan Su, who was as quiet as her, she became more talkative.
"Yan Su, no one in the village will believe a mental retard."
"But you believed me. Why?"
Was there such unconditional kindness in this world?
Lin Luo didn't think so.
However, in the three years since Yan Su came to Little Bay Village, he had taken care of Lin Luo for three years. Because Lin Luo was afraid, Yan Su punished Qiao Sheng and stayed up all night in the cold wind.
This contradicted Lin Luo's beliefs regarding human nature.
Her principle was an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.
If not for the fact that Yan Su had taken care of the original host in the past few years and was her benefactor, even if Lin Luo knew that this person was going to die in Black Wind Mountain tomorrow, she would have remained indifferent.
Nor would she have gone through so much trouble to make her stay.
The girl was like a firefly in the summer night. The latter constantly surrounded him with light while the former pestered him.
Yan Su suddenly stopped in his tracks.
Lin Luo's nose bumped into his sturdy back.
"Stop following me."
When Yan Su turned around, he saw Lin Luo's clear eyes. These eyes coincided with the eyes of a certain girl in his memory, making Yan Su's heart skip a beat and his tone couldn't help but soften.
Lin Luo rubbed the tip of her nose and asked seriously,
"Are you still going to Black Wind Mountain today?"
Yan Su retracted his gaze and walked away.
Lin Luo followed behind him closely.
After Yan Su looked over again, Lin Luo took the initiative to speak.
"If you don't want me to follow you, answer me. I'll leave after you answer me."
Yan Su was extremely persistent.
Yan Su rubbed the space between his eyebrows to relieve the fatigue from staying up all night. "Yes."
Lin Luo frowned. He still planned to go even after staying up all night?
Was he trying to kill himself?
At this moment, the cocky-looking man walked over from along the mud road and saw Lin Luo. His expression turned colder. "Why are you here again?"
The arrogant man snorted.
"That guy has already been locked up in jail. The remaining members of the Qiao family are all paper tigers. There's nothing to be afraid of."
"We've already helped you resolve the matter. Can you stop pestering the Lord… Yan Su?"
Lin Luo retracted her leg that was about to walk forward. Then, she raised her head and said confidently, "I still have unfinished business."
The arrogant man was speechless.
Lin Luo was really pushing her luck!
After the arrogant man glared at Lin Luo in disgust, he turned to Yan Su and said, "Yan Su, let's ignore this fool."
"The situation over there is not optimistic."
When he said the latter sentence, the arrogant man's voice became much softer.
It happened to be at a volume that Yan Su could hear, but Lin Luo couldn't hear clearly.
Lin Luo revealed the wound on the back of her head for Yan Su to see. "My head hurts. If I don't apply medicine soon, I'm going to die."
"Just be kind and help me get some medicine from town."
"Have you had enough?!" The arrogant man couldn't stand Lin Luo anymore. He dragged her away and shoved her back into her house. Then, he grabbed a piece of wood to block the door and stop Lin Luo from coming out. "You're so troublesome."
The arrogant man's name was Qi Zhou.
Qi Zhou returned to Yan Su's courtyard impatiently and closed the door.
He knelt on one knee in front of Yan Su and said, "Master, please forgive me for my actions just now."
"Master, the pirates have already landed in the south. They clashed with our people guarding the foot of the Black Wind Mountain. From the looks of it, they're also aiming for the iron mine."
"The leader of the pirates said that he wants to negotiate with you. If you don't appear, they'll seize the iron mine mountain."
"We don't have time to waste."
Yan Su lowered his eyes and thought for a moment before saying, "Let's go."
The two of them went to town to meet another buddy who was already waiting there.
"Master, this trip will be long, so let's eat something to fill our stomachs first."
After they found a small shop, they ordered clam noodles.
Qi Zhou and the other person ate it, but after Yan Su took a sip of clam soup, he put down the spoon with a frown.
"Master, are you still not used to the stench of seafood?"
Qi Zhou looked around. It was still too early, so other than this stall, there were no other shops that were open.
Yan Su thought of the sumptuous dinner he had last night.
The ingredients were clearly the same, so why was the clam soup cooked by Lin Luo so delicious that one couldn't stop eating? However, the clam soup made by others was mixed with sand and had a fishy smell?
"Master, just eat a little."
Another person persuaded.
After Yan Su glanced at the person coldly, he leaned back to close his eyes and said, "Qi Zhou, go do something for me first."
Qi Zhou felt his scalp tingle. He was trembling with fear for the other person. Ever since the incident, although Yan Su maintained his gentlemanly demeanor, his way of doing things had become much more ruthless.
However, his buddy made a faux pass regarding food, which Yan Su was the pickiest about!
However, before Yan Su could punish Qi Zhou's buddy, Qi Zhou was called first. Qi Zhou scratched his head as he said, "Master, please go ahead."
An hour later, Qi Zhou removed the wooden block from Lin Luo's door with a dark expression.
After he pushed the door open and entered, he said in an irritated voice, "Idiot, I bought you your medicine!"
When Yan Su said he wanted him to do something, he thought it was something important.
In the end!
In the end, Yan Su said he wanted him to send medicine to this fool!
When the news came yesterday evening, Yan Su had already decided to set off for Black Wind Mountain in advance. However, the fool said that she wanted to treat Yan Su to a meal and Yan Su actually agreed!
It wasn't easy for them to wait for the meal to end, but then this fool came up with something about the Qiao family taking revenge and being too afraid to sleep, so Yan Su delayed the departure time again.
This morning, they finally set off.
However, Yan Su sent him back to deliver medicine to the fool!
"Fool? Where is she? Where did she go?"
Before Qi Zhou could finish speaking, he heard Lin Luo's voice behind him. "Why is it you? Where's Yan Su?"
"Yan Su is having breakfast in town… No, what has this got to do with you?"
After Qi Zhou threw the medicine into Lin Luo's hand, he turned to leave.
"Wait."
