As the saying goes, everything has its cause and effect; nothing happens without reason.
However, seeing how protective the village head was of the county magistrate, Xuexue didn't feel it was appropriate to say much. She just nodded and prepared to walk with Big Bull towards the entrance of County Town—their ox cart was still waiting there.
They had just taken a few steps when two Yamen Runners, panting, caught up from behind: "Wait, wait."
The three of them paused, somewhat surprised. The village head turned and asked, "Brother Yamen Runner, may I ask if there's anything else?"
The two Yamen Runners caught up and said, "The county magistrate would like you all to go to a restaurant for a meal."
"Huh? This..."
The village head looked at the two Yamen Runners with difficulty and then turned to look at Xuexue and Big Bull, muttering to himself, "What should we do? We're pressed for time, and we need to rush back to Mo Family Village."
