Lu Fengnian frowned, paused slightly, thought for a moment, and continued walking forward without responding.

Li Xiaorou got excited and raised her voice, "Lu Fengnian, don't think I don't know what you're thinking."

You're getting involved with a slut, isn't that just self-destructive and an attempt to disgust me?

They spoke so resolutely before, saying they wanted to sever all ties with me and have nothing to do with me anymore.

What he did was all sorts of things aimed at getting my attention: going on a hunger strike for me, going hunting in the mountains, getting entangled with prostitutes...

Lu Fengnian, I can tell you very clearly, don't waste your energy anymore. No matter what you do, I will never look at you again!

In my eyes, you're not even as good as one of Gang Ge's toes.

Zhao Gang was overjoyed to hear these words.

Lu Fengnian stopped again, slowly turned around, and looked at Li Xiaorou with indifferent eyes.

"When people become shameless, it's truly terrifying."

Li Xiaorou, do you think you are superior to others?

I'm trying to get your attention? Pshaw!

In my eyes, you're not even as good as a prostitute.

Don't keep hanging around in front of me like that, it's disgusting!

Upon hearing these words, Li Xiaorou's expression immediately changed, turning both ashamed and angry.

Zhao Gang immediately shouted and rushed to Lu Fengnian, raising his fist and smashing it hard into Lu Fengnian's face.

Lu Fengnian sneered, quickly reached out, and grabbed Zhao Gang's fist, twisting it with force.

Zhao Gang immediately screamed in pain, his entire arm nearly dislocated.

Lu Fengnian stopped there, releasing his grip and looking at Zhao Gang with disdain. "Things shouldn't happen more than three times. If you dare to lay a hand on me again..."

Reach out and I'll chop off your hand; reach out and I'll chop off your foot!

Zhao Gang had just truly felt Lu Fengnian's speed and strength, and he now clearly knew that Lu Fengnian's physique was far superior to his own.

To attack him would be to invite humiliation upon oneself.

Seeing Zhao Gang's incompetence, Li Xiaorou became even angrier and shouted, "Lu Fengnian..."

Lu Fengnian quickly turned his head and stared straight at Li Xiaorou, "Shut the hell up!"

I've been putting up with you for far too long!

Hitting a woman isn't exactly something to be proud of, but if you insist on coming closer, I'll beat you so badly your own mother won't recognize you!

As he said this, Lu Fengnian narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze like two sharp knives piercing directly into Li Xiaorou's heart.

At the same time, his voice was cold and ruthless, showing no trace of a scholar.

Li Xiaorou wanted to say something tougher, but the words were already on the tip of her tongue, and she just couldn't bring herself to say them.

Lu Fengnian's gaze slowly swept over Zhao Gang and Li Xiaorou, and he saw that the two of them were stunned on the spot, neither daring to utter a sound.

With a disdainful smirk, he sneered and strode away.

…………

Two more days passed, and Lu Fengnian was still engrossed in practicing archery and boxing behind the house.

After finishing her work, Lu Xiaoyu came over again. "Big brother, you were right."

I ignored them, and sure enough, their gossip about you decreased significantly.

Moreover, Li Xiaorou has become much more restrained and almost never mentions you anymore.

Not stupid, actually.

Lu Fengnian's lips curled up slightly.

He was truly enraged under the old willow tree that day. Perhaps Li Xiaorou sensed it, which is why she restrained herself.

"This is a good thing."

Lu Fengnian spoke softly, "Tomorrow, your older brother will go into the mountains and then to the county. Think in advance about what you need, and your older brother will buy it for you."

There are only two days left until the seven days that I agreed to meet Fang Tong.

He planned to hunt some wild animals in the mountains tomorrow, then take them to the county town to sell, and also go to find Fang Tong.

Lu Xiaoyu's eyes lit up. "Okay, I'll think about it tonight and tell you tomorrow, brother."

Just then, Liu Yunjuan arrived at the back of the house, her steps hurried.

"Mom, what's wrong?" Lu Xiaoyu asked in confusion.

Liu Yunjuan quickly said, "The village head is here; he's in the main room."

Lu Fengnian looked puzzled. "What's he doing here?"

In his memory, the Lu family and the village head of Mao'er Village had almost no interaction.

His arrival at this time is somewhat suspicious.

Liu Yunjuan said in a deep voice, "Isn't it all because of the competition with Shangjie Village for water resources?"

Lu Fengnian frowned. "It's been so many days, and this matter is still not over?"

Liu Yunjuan shook her head. "This year is drier than in previous years, and the little water in the river is even more precious. Neither village is willing to give way."

Lu Fengnian added, "With the Zhao family of four around, how can Shangjie Village possibly compete?"

Liu Yunjuan responded quickly, "The village head just told me that there is a young man in Shangjie Village who is extremely skilled in archery. The Zhao family father and son did not gain any advantage against him."

This is why the two villages have been fighting for so long without a resolution.

Lu Fengnian looked puzzled. "Zhao Tianming has been playing with bows for over forty years, yet he can't defeat a young man?"

Lu Fengnian's archery skills were superior to Zhao Tianming's because of the system, not because Zhao Tianming's archery skills were inferior.

It is extremely unlikely that an ordinary young hunter could surpass Lu Tianming in archery skills, unless he has exceptional talent.

Liu Yunjuan added, "I heard from the village head that this young man from Shangjie Village trained with an archery master for a period of time and his archery skills are extremely remarkable."

Lu Fengnian slightly raised his eyelids. "Is the village head coming here at this time to get me involved in the dispute with Shangjie Village over water resources?"

Liu Yunjuan nodded. "Although he hasn't stated his intentions yet, I guess that's what he means."

I made an excuse to come out here, just to ask for your opinion.

After a moment's thought, Lu Fengnian said, "Let's forget about it. No matter how skilled that young man from Shangjie Village is at archery, he can't possibly defeat the four members of the Zhao family."

If the village chief explains his purpose, you should say, "I went hunting in the mountains."

The village head came in person to explain that the current dispute with Shangjie Village was somewhat tricky.

If you get involved, it might be something that can't be resolved in just a day or two.

Lu Manyue's matter was the most important, and a result was imminent, so he naturally didn't want to be involved in other matters.

Liu Yunjuan nodded and quickly left.

Lu Xiaoyu asked softly, "Big brother, this is the first time Muramasa has come to our house in person. Are you really going to refuse him?"

Lu Feng chuckled softly, "He's just a village head. If you don't want to go, even if you beg me, I won't agree."

Moreover, you've hit the nail on the head. Precisely because this is his first time visiting our home, I'm even less likely to go.

Normally, he always puts on airs like a village head, his official demeanor even greater than that of the magistrate of Qinghe County, but he never gives our Lu family a kind look.

Now that trouble has arisen, they think of the Lu family. How can that be reasonable?
