Seeing that Li Yanqi was really about to lower his head and kiss her, Lin Yanyu was immediately frightened and wanted to pull his hair to stop him, but the hair in her hands was as smooth and flowing as silk, and she couldn't bear to pull it hard.

In a hurry, Lin Yanyu had to turn her head to the side to avoid it.

Suddenly, she had an idea, turned around and questioned him loudly with a serious face.

"How dare you take advantage of me? What's going on between you and Hunjianglong, the leader of Wulong Village? I was implicated by you for no reason today, you have to give me a reasonable explanation!"

Li Yanqi really stopped what he was doing. Seeing her pink face and her panting resistance, he felt so greedy that he just wished he could take her home right away and sleep in the same bed with her from then on.

He used to hang out with all kinds of people and had heard others talk about this kind of thing, saying it was so intoxicating that one could not stop. He had never experienced it before, but just after a kiss, the endurance he had always been proud of was completely gone.

Lin Yanyu saw that Li Yanqi was looking at her as if he was possessed, his pair of dark eyes were filled with dangerous storms. She felt an inexplicable danger in her heart and asked him loudly in fear.

"Li Yanqi, you haven't answered me yet!?"

Li Yanqi came back to his senses. He knew that now was not the right time. He must not be impatient with this precious child in his heart, lest he really annoyed her and cause bad consequences.

"Don't worry, listen to me and I'll tell you slowly. I'll apply the ointment on you first. Remember to tell me if it hurts."

Li Yanqi pulled the ponytail that fell to her chest back, picked up the porcelain bottle that had rolled to the ground, and gently pulled Lin Yanyu's arm with one hand.

"Before I went to suppress the bandits last time, I carefully investigated Wang Zhenlong. I want to know why he developed Wulong Village so rapidly in just a few years?"

Lin Yanyu thought of the man who had just knelt down and begged for his life despite his lame legs, and she felt a little curious and expressed her guess hesitantly.

"Because he is loyal?"

Li Yanqi rolled up his wide apricot sleeves, and his eyes hurt from the sting of the white arm. He swallowed his saliva, calmed himself, and then continued:

"That's right. Wang Zhenlong is a strict ruler who doesn't allow bandits to harm poor people. Not only that, he also helps the poor. This has led to more and more oppressed people joining Wulongzhai."

Lin Yanyu frowned slightly, enduring the stinging pain in her arm. She knew that Li Yanqi's movements had been very gentle, and she was afraid that if she showed it, Li Yanqi would laugh at her, so she endured it and pretended to be calm and said:

"I never thought that the bandit leader who was rumored to be vicious and cruel actually had a chivalrous heart. On the contrary, that rich man Wang and County Magistrate Dong..."

"Tell me if it hurts, don't endure it."

Li Yanqi's movements became more and more gentle, as if he was wiping the most precious porcelain, his fingertips gently rotating and smearing.

"Wang Zhenlong is still too soft-hearted."

Li Yanqi raised his eyes and looked at Lin Yanyu.

"If it were me..."

Li Yanqi was talking, but suddenly stopped talking, showing a meaningful smile, and then continued: "When I fought with him during the bandit suppression, Wang Zhenlong's skills were not as good as mine, but compared with most people, he was good enough. I am in urgent need of manpower now, and Wulongzhai is a very good choice. If Chongzhou really gets into chaos in the future, I believe Wulongzhai will not only be the current size."

Given the current situation, I believe that within three months, more and more people who can no longer survive will seek refuge in Wulongzhai with their families.

"So that's why you saved Wang Zhenlong right under Magistrate Dong's nose?"

Lin Yanyu looked at Li Yanqi with bright eyes.

After Li Yanqi carefully applied the ointment, he took out a white cloth from his arms and slowly wrapped it around Lin Yanyu's arm, nodding as he wrapped the cloth around her.

"Well, Wulongzhai is in a steep terrain, easy to defend but difficult to attack. When I went to capture Wang Zhenlong, I almost got into trouble. It's hard for me to say what will happen in the future, but I will definitely keep you and your parents safe. If it really doesn't work, and Chongzhou City gets into chaos, I will take you all to Wulong Mountain, okay?"

Lin Yanyu felt that today's experience was really bizarre. The weak woman was the second in command of the bandit camp, the rumored brutal bandit leader was actually a chivalrous hero, the official who was supposed to be the father of the people colluded with the wealthy businessman, and the rumored ruffian leader who only spoke with his fists and was unreliable turned out to be thoughtful, resourceful and reliable.

Lin Yanyu couldn't help but her eyes turned into crescents, and she responded happily with a coquettish tone that she didn't even notice: "Okay."

Li Yanqi pulled down Lin Yanyu's sleeve, staring at her with his dark eyes, and smiled as he touched her head, saying, "It was my fault that I failed to protect you today. I didn't expect the people from Wulong Village would actually tie you up. I don't even have time to learn the Thousand Character Classic from you."

It would be fine if it didn't fall, but when this matter was mentioned, the corners of Lin Yanyu's lips immediately drooped, and she said angrily: "How dare you mention the Thousand Character Classic! In order to teach you, I spent two cents of silver and hurriedly went to Caomu Hall to buy you paper and pen, but now they are all lost!"

Li Yanqi hurriedly acted like a bootlicker and helped Lin Yanyu massage her shoulders.

"It's all my fault. Good Zhizhi, don't be angry. I'll buy the paper and pen myself. It's not that I didn't gain anything today..."

Li Yanqi looked around and continued, "This coffin shop has been renovated very well. The loud noise just now didn't alarm anyone outside. It's close to the town and very secluded. We don't have to go to the Cliff to drink the wind anymore. Come to the coffin shop and meet me next time."

"What are you talking about? If you don't want to learn, I won't teach you." Lin Yanyu's face suddenly turned red.

"Learn, learn, learn! I will learn from my ancestors."

Li Yanqi remembered the conditions for marrying Lin Yanyu more firmly than his own life, and he reminded Lin Yanyu even though he was worried.

"Don't forget what you promised me. When I learn it, I will go to your house to propose marriage!"

Lin Yanyu felt embarrassed and didn't want to talk about such a shameful thing with Li Yanqi, so she stood up and opened the window, allowing the sunlight to pour into the room unhindered.

Lin Yanyu's black eyes were stained with gold, and the golden light shone on her snow-white face. The gentle breeze blew her soft and shiny hair, and in the shining golden light, she looked like a fairy concubine.

Li Yanqi's delicate lips parted slightly, and he looked at the woman in front of the window with fascination. Before he could swallow his saliva, he heard her say heartlessly, "Get out. I need to change my clothes."

Seeing Li Yanqi staring at her in a daze, Lin Yanyu couldn't help but frowned and walked forward and said, "It's getting late. I should go home. You go out. I need to change my clothes."

Li Yanqi came back to his senses and swallowed his saliva. He didn't want to go out from the bottom of his heart. He pretended to be aggrieved and drooped his eyebrows: "I really won't peek. I'll turn my back and stay in, okay?"

"What did you tell me when you were rubbing the blood clots away for me just now? Could it be that you have amnesia and have forgotten everything in such a short time?" Lin Yanyu said sarcastically.

Lin Yanyu walked to the door and opened it, then looked at Li Yanqi and made a gesture of invitation.

Li Yanqi reluctantly got up and walked slowly to the door. He held on to the door frame with both hands and asked, "I won't peek. Is that really not possible?"

"No! Get out of here!"

Lin Yan spoke in an anxious voice. She closed the door with force and fastened the wooden bolt tightly. However, she was still not at ease, so she propped the wooden table in the room against the door.

Li Yanqi cried out outside the door: "You can't be that serious, you old-fashioned guy, are you defending yourself from me or from the wolf?"

Lin Yanyu's hands were already on the ties of her coat. When she heard his sudden voice, her cheeks became hot and she angrily said, "Shut up! You are not allowed to talk now!"

Li Yanqi fell silent instantly.
