"Okay, brother Siwen, let's go back first. I will come to town again tomorrow."
"Okay, let's go slowly, brother Chenyao!"
It wasn't until Chen Yao disappeared from sight that Siwen put down his waving arms, with a long-lasting joy on his face.
To be honest, he still can't believe that the tax dispute that almost completely devastated Shenmu Town was solved so easily, but when he thought that it was Chen Yao's doing, he didn't feel strange. After all, this This is not the first time Chen Yao has helped the town resolve a crisis...
On the other side, on the way back to the Shenmu Forest.
"Rarity."
"Huh? What's wrong, Brother Chenyao?"
"I see that you have been absent-minded from the beginning. Why, are you worried?"
"No...no." This question immediately made Ruirui look nervous, and she kept waving her hands in denial...
"No?? Hey, you think you can fool me?"
"This...Oh! Well, as expected, nothing can be hidden from Brother Chenyao..." The boy sighed and lowered his head, looking a little frustrated.
"If you have any questions, just tell me. As long as you don't want the stars and the moon in the sky, you, Brother Chenyao, can do it!"
Chen Yao patted the boy's shoulder with a confident expression.
"Brother Chenyao, I...I fell in love with...a girl..."
"Oh??? It seems that our Ruirui has indeed grown up! Tell me, which girl do you like? Is it from the village? Or is it the elf family from the Rainbow Bird???"
"No, it's a sister from the town who also works in the Guards Department. Her surname is Lu..."
Ruirui shook her head and said awkwardly.
"Road? Lu Xiaoyi???"
"Yes! That's her! Brother Chenyao, do you know her???"
"Let's get to know..."
To be honest, if Ruirui hadn't mentioned it, Chen Yao would have almost forgotten about this little girl. Thinking of this, Chen Yao sighed a little. They are obviously from similar family backgrounds and have the same ideals, but in the end, One person went to the Royal Academy in the City of Gods, but the other stayed in the town and did ordinary security work...
However, the current environment is considered good. Many merchants cannot even continue to operate their stores. In comparison, working in the Guards Department is much better. After all... this is barely an iron rice bowl, and the family depends on it. It's not a problem to have enough food and clothing.
"Then, Brother Chenyao, can you help me...it's just...I...I want to marry her as my wife..."
Ruirui's coy look immediately made Chen Yao furious. Finally, he couldn't bear it anymore and reached out to slap the boy hard on the back!
"Aren't you a man anymore?! How can you ask me to handle something as important as marriage for you?? Besides, if you really like her, go after her yourself! The most I can do is let you get to know her. , you can handle the rest by yourself!!!”
"Oh...Okay..." Hearing Chen Yao say this, the boy couldn't help but feel a little disappointed...
"Also, if this thing comes to pass, if you let me know that you are not good to others, you will see how I will deal with you! Let me tell you, the most important thing for a man is to be responsible and responsible!"
"Then...what if Lu Xiaoyi doesn't like me?"
"Well...then let's find a more beautiful one!!!"
"..."
"Okay! Look, our Ruirui is almost as tall as me, although not as handsome as your brother Chenyao, hehehe..."
"Brother Yao is so beautiful! Shameless!"
The two sisters on the side immediately cast disdainful glances.
"Ahem... Ruirui, listen carefully, the most important temperament of a man is confidence! There is an inexhaustible supply of weak water, and there will always be a scoop suitable for you."
Chen Yao stopped laughing, held the boy's shoulders and said seriously.
"I understand, Brother Chenyao..."
"It's good to know. Then I will go to Shenmu Town again tomorrow, and then I will help you get to know Lu Xiaoyi."
"good."
"Okay, it's getting late, let's go quickly."
Ten minutes later, the group finally arrived at the outskirts of the Shenmu Forest. Just when Chen Yao was thinking about how to enter...
"Brothers and sisters, please come with me!"
"Um?"
The three of them followed Ruirui to the foot of a giant tree outside...
"Dong dong dong..."
Rarity tapped the tree trunk three times.
"Rust..." The whole big tree suddenly began to tremble slightly, and dots of green light separated from the trunk and quickly condensed into a ball, turning into a translucent elf sleeping with its eyes closed...
"Oh~ It's so late, who is it? Huh? It's Brother Chenyao!!!"
As soon as the translucent elf opened his eyes, his gaze was locked on Chen Yao behind him...
Without any hesitation, the little guy pounced directly! But... the elf passed directly through Chen Yao's body...
"Huh? Well... people forgot that this is not an entity..."
"Uh... little Jasmine???" After a while, Chen Yao barely recognized the little guy...
"It's me, it's me! Woohoo! I miss you so much! My sisters and babies miss you too!!!"
"Baby???"
"Is the advancement stupid? You have forgotten what you planted???"
Qiu Yunxi looked like he hated iron, and clamped Chen Yao's ears directly with his two fingers!
"Hiss...hehehe! My aunt, have mercy on me! I remembered it! I remembered it!"
"You didn't tell me such an important thing. Isn't this my first time as a father? I have no experience..."
"I was in a hurry and forgot."
"..."
"Jasmine, open the portal."
"oh oh!"
With a pop, the translucent elf turned into dots of green light. The green light moved on its own and formed a portal. After the three people entered it, the portal turned into dots of green light and merged into the tree trunks nearby...
"Eight-star hour and seventeen minutes..."
Chen Yao took out his copper watch and looked at the time. Everyone probably hadn't rested yet at this point.
"A-mei's waist is delicate, but A-guo can't help but reach out, humming, humming, humming~~~"
There were several people of similar age sitting around a small round wooden table not far away. The happiest among them was Jiang Qingshan. The old man drank so much that his face turned red. He was smiling and singing. He was very excited about the arrival of Chen Yao and the others. , the people at the table seemed to have no idea...
"Mr. Jiang, you are truly blessed now! Hahahahaha!!!"
"Humph, that's right! Don't look at how capable my good grandson is! Come on, come on, keep drinking!"
"Yo! Are you all drinking?"
"What, you want to drink too? Come on, come and drink! I'm cumming today...huh? Chen Yao???"
"Ping!!!" The wine bottle in Jiang Qingshan's hand fell to the ground and broke, and several people sitting around also woke up instantly!
"Yes, I'm back, long time no see..."
"grandfather."
"I'm infected with influenza A and I feel very bad..."
