The female cannon fodder in the book, the villain instantly turned into a pitiful and coquettish gir

In the evening, under the Tree of Wisdom, the setting sun was as red as blood, stretching the shadow of Shadow Knife out long.

He held the carrying pole in his left hand and supported his chin with his right hand, sitting under the tree with a serious look on his face.

But his eyes would glance towards the village entrance from time to time, like a lovesick young man waiting for his sweetheart to return.

It’s just that his attire and posture make people feel a little... well, a little weird.

"Hey, brother, are you here to listen to the old man's stories? Your posture is quite unique!"

Just as Yingdao was immersed in his own world, an untimely voice broke the silence.

He looked up and saw a young man who looked like a scholar looking at him with a smile. The words "fellow traveler" were clearly written in his eyes.

Yingdao coughed twice, pretending to be profound.

"Oh, no, no, I am here to practice the 'Jing Xin Deng Yao Dafa'. You mortals don't understand."

When the scholar heard this, he almost couldn't help laughing out loud, thinking that this brother was really interesting.

After a few interactions, the two became teammates and taught each other the secret of how to wait more "elegantly".

The two gradually became familiar with each other after a few interactions, and Yingdao seized the opportunity to ask what he wanted to ask.

"Hey, brother, I heard that the stories here are very novel. Do you know where they come from?"

The scholar was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized.

"Brother, you want to... Hey~"

When Yingdao heard this, he thought there was hope and maybe he could get some information from the scholar.

He followed nervously.

The other party uttered three words in a serious tone: "I don't know".

"Cut~"

Yingdao was a little disappointed, and suddenly realized that he was focusing on the wrong thing.

"All the major cities are very interested in the plum wine from our village. Even the prince in the capital likes it very much. Brother, do you know who brews this plum wine?"

"Of course it's Uncle Li at the back of the village."

The scholar agreed as a matter of course.

Yingdao was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood. The next day after he entered the village, he found out that the person who brewed plum wine was Uncle Li who lived at the back of the village.

But he stayed at Uncle Li's house for several days.

Not to mention Liu Yaoyao, even Uncle Li has never seen her.

"I know, but I can't find Uncle Li at all."

"Oh? Brother, you are so concerned about Uncle Li's whereabouts. Are you trying to learn from him and open a tavern of your own?"

The scholar lowered his voice in a mysterious manner, with a hint of teasing in his tone.

When Yingdao heard this, his eyes widened immediately, as if something had hit the nail on the head, and he quickly waved his hand to deny it.

"No, no, no, brother, you misunderstood. I just... uh, I just want to do business and want to learn more."

The scholar held back his laughter and nodded seriously.

"I see, you are really a man of refined taste. But, speaking of Uncle Li's winemaking skills, that is a unique skill of our village and is not easily passed on to others. But..."

Having said that, the scholar deliberately kept the other person in suspense and paused for a moment, his eyes darting back and forth between Shadow Blade, as if assessing whether his "curiosity for knowledge" was strong enough.

Upon seeing this, Yingdao quickly moved closer and said in a flattering manner.

"But what? Please feel free to speak up, brother. I am all ears."

"However, I heard that Uncle Li has a precious daughter named Yaoyao. Not only is she beautiful, but she has also inherited Uncle Li's true teachings and has first-class winemaking skills. If you want to get closer to Uncle Li's winemaking secrets, maybe you can start from her."

The scholar had an expression that said "I understand you" on his face and spoke very seriously.

When Yingdao heard this, his eyes lit up instantly, as if he had discovered a new world.

"Yaoyao? Is this true? Where is she?"

The scholar chuckled and shook his head.

"Don't worry, brother. Didn't I just tell you? Miss Yaoyao is going to Lincheng with Uncle Li to look for new fruits. I'm afraid she won't be back for a while. But I can show you a way."

"What clear way out? Tell me quickly!" Ying Dao urged impatiently.

"Go to the plum forest behind the village. There is an old tea stand there. Every afternoon, a group of elderly people from the village gather there to bask in the sun and chat about family matters.

If you can please them, you might be able to get some interesting stories about Miss Yaoyao and Uncle Li from them, or even their return date."

The scholar said leisurely, with a smug expression on his face that said "let's see how you thank me".

When Yingdao heard this, he was overjoyed and thanked him repeatedly.

"Thank you for your guidance, I will go and check it out right away!"

After saying this, he ran out at a speed so fast as if he was afraid that the scholar would change his mind.

Looking at Yingdao's receding figure, the scholar couldn't help but shake his head and laugh.

"This brother is really interesting. I hope he can get what he wants."

As expected, Yingdao saw a tea stall by the Lizilin River behind the village.

Yingdao skillfully ordered a bowl of tea and listened attentively to everything around him.

Sure enough, after a while, I heard the news I wanted to know.

"Have you heard that Uncle Li and Yaoyao found a new kind of fruit in Lincheng and brewed beauty wine from it. It's selling like hot cakes."

"Ah, they are not going to develop in Lincheng, are they?"

When Yingdao heard this, he almost spit out a mouthful of tea and quickly covered his mouth.

"Father and son? Isn't Yaoyao a girl?"

He secretly wondered, could it be that this Yaoyao was not the same Yaoyao?

But, we cannot give up any clues.

Yingdao pretended to be surprised and moved closer, as if he was really attracted by the news.

"Oh? There is such a miraculous thing? Does the beauty wine really have such a miraculous effect?"

Yingdao deliberately pretended to be a curious baby, his eyes wide open, as if he could see some secret from it.

A white-haired old man next to him squinted his eyes, shook his head slowly and said.

"That's right. I heard that drinking that wine can make people's skin smoother and wrinkles less. The noble ladies in Lincheng fought for this sip of wine and even got hurt."

"Yes, yes, yes. I also heard that a wealthy businessman offered a huge sum of money for just one bottle, but Uncle Li declined the offer, saying that the wine had to be brewed slowly and couldn't be rushed."

Another lady also joined the discussion, her face full of admiration for Uncle Li.

Yingdao listened with great interest, but was thinking in his mind.

"It sounds like Liu Yaoyao's brain could come up with this idea. No matter what, we have to find a way to get more information out of them."

He deliberately pretended to look regretful and sighed.

"Alas, it's a pity that a coarse person like me has no chance to see the true appearance of the Beauty Wine, let alone taste it."

When the old man heard this, he immediately patted his chest and said with great pride.

"Young man, don't be discouraged. If you really want to try it, I, an old man, can show you a way.

Although Uncle Li and his men are in Lincheng, all the young people in the village will go to his place when they go to Lincheng. You can go with them then."

When Yingdao heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, as if he saw the dawn of hope.
