Chapter 87: Chapter 89: Discussing Road Construction
"Brother Xiaoshan, what\'s wrong with you?" Wang Yan asked, sensing Long Xiaoshan\'s excitement.
"Nothing, nothing at all," Long Xiaoshan hastily suppressed his excitement with True Qi.
After a while, he stood up and said,
"Immeasurable Life Buddha, my goodness, to think I would be moved by a little girl."
Seeing that Wang Yan didn\'t suspect anything, Long Xiaoshan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, for it would have been embarrassing if she had found out.
"If you\'re not feeling well, you don\'t need to go," said Wang Yan.
"I\'m fine, I\'ll go too."
Seeing that the sky had already darkened, Long Xiaoshan feared that something might happen to Wang Yan in the water, so he followed her out.
Right beside the farm was a small river, which was the most beautiful place in the village with large stretches of rocky beach and Shieyan Rock, and beyond it, a bamboo forest.
Wang Yan ran across the stone beach and jumped into the water with a jubilant splash.
Watching her swim in the water like a spirited fish, darting back and forth quickly, occasionally surfacing, then diving, Long Xiaoshan realized his concerns were somewhat superfluous, as Wang Yan\'s swimming ability was nearly professional.
"Brother Xiaoshan, come down and swim too."
When Wang Yan saw Long Xiaoshan standing still on the shore, she playfully splashed water on him.
Splashed several times by Wang Yan, Long Xiaoshan, despite initially not wanting to enter the water, ended up getting wet.
Provoked by Wang Yan, the pride of a young man surged within him, and he pulled off his T-shirt, jumped into the water, and started a water fight with her.
He didn\'t exert himself deliberately, just played casually, and the two of them frolicked for quite a while.
Wang Yan was exhausted and was panting as they climbed out of the water. It was then that the two lay down on the back of Shieyan Rock, enjoying the night breeze, feeling there couldn\'t be anything more comfortable than this.
"Brother Xiaoshan, thank you," Wang Yan said.
"Thank me for what?"
"Thank you for playing with me, for making me happy," Wang Yan said with sincere emotion in her voice.
Long Xiaoshan just smiled and patted Wang Yan\'s head.
Wang Yan leaned against Long Xiaoshan, resting her head on his chest. She hadn\'t noticed it while playing in the water, as it was dark at night, but now close by, with the moonlight shining, Wang Yan realized just how strong Long Xiaoshan was, with a fragrance emanating from his body that was as fresh as a newborn baby.
The body of a cultivator, because of increased practice, expels more impurities from the body, gradually approaching the innate state.
"Brother, you\'ve got a really nice build. If Yunyun and the others saw you, they would definitely be all over you," Wang Yan boldly commented, reaching out to pinch Long Xiaoshan\'s well-defined abs, a hint of redness appearing on her cheeks.
"Yikes!"
Long Xiaoshan nearly rolled off the stone as he said, "Can you not startle me like that?"
"Hehe," Wang Yan giggled, "Brother, you\'re so old-fashioned, and so cute."
Long Xiaoshan was indeed helpless. How many times had Wang Yan called him cute now?
Where was he cute at all?
Long Xiaoshan hurriedly grabbed his T-shirt to put it on when suddenly Wang Yan grabbed his hand, her expression changing as she said, "Brother, why do you have so many scars on your body?"
"What about them? They\'re just scars," Long Xiaoshan replied.
"They must have hurt a lot," Wang Yan said as she looked at those crisscrossed scars, her eyes betraying intense concern.
Long Xiaoshan just smiled and slipped his T-shirt back on, saying, "All right, it\'s getting late, time to rest."
Long Xiaoshan jumped off the giant Shieyan Rock.
Biting her lip, Wang Yan watched Long Xiaoshan for a while before climbing down too. She had always thought of Long Xiaoshan as being like a celestial, bringing her father\'s soul back, helping her mother to walk again and even taming Black Wolf, the formidable character from Xinyuan County.
It felt as if he was capable of anything.
But now, she realized that even the formidable Brother Xiaoshan could get hurt.
So many injuries, just thinking about it probably hurt a lot.
But Xiaoshan said nothing about it.
Unlike herself, who harbored resentment towards Xiaoshan in her heart because her father had left.
Compared to Xiaoshan, she was really too childish.
She hugged Long Xiaoshan\'s arm tightly, resting her head on his shoulder, as the moonlight stretched their shadows longer and longer...
The next day, early in the morning, Long Xiaoshan was up.
He ran to the doghouse, and as soon as he opened the door, a black shadow pounced on him so fast he couldn\'t react. A pair of black paws landed on Long Xiaoshan\'s shoulders.
A long tongue licked over.
Long Xiaoshan was startled, "What a big dog."
A black wolf, a meter and a half long, was there licking him, and yes, it was indeed a wolf.
Looking at the calf-sized black wolf, Long Xiaoshan was at a loss for words.
This Spiritual Liquid was too abnormal; it had turned a normal dog into a wolf.
And the speed with which the wolf had pounced just now was too fast, even he hadn\'t blocked it.
"Alright, alright," Long Xiaoshan patted the black wolf\'s head, urging it to get down, looking it over with satisfaction, "You run so fast, from now on your name is Black Whirlwind."
Black Whirlwind howled softly, its eyes full of spiritual nature, nodding at Long Xiaoshan.
Long Xiaoshan\'s eyes brightened.
The other dogs were smart as well, but none had the spiritual nature of Black Whirlwind; it was almost as if it possessed a certain wisdom.
"Black Whirlwind, you help me watch over the farm, understand?" Long Xiaoshan said.
Black Whirlwind nodded again.
Long Xiaoshan clapped his hands, feeling great. He patted Black Whirlwind\'s head and took out another drop of Spiritual Liquid. Seeing the immense longing in Black Whirlwind\'s eyes, Long Xiaoshan said, "Good job, I\'ll reward you. Remember, don\'t let anyone steal things from the farm."
Black Whirlwind nodded vigorously.
Long Xiaoshan let all the dogs out, and it was clear that Black Whirlwind was now the leader; the other dogs followed its command.
After a while, Long Xiaoshan\'s parents also came over, bringing breakfast.
They were shocked at the sight of the calf-sized black wolf, but after Long Xiaoshan explained and personally directed Black Whirlwind to perform a variety of incredible actions, they were reassured.
Seeing that Wang Yan was still in bed,
Long Xiaoshan said goodbye to his parents and drove the pickup to the township.
Yesterday, he had talked to Shen Yuerong on the phone and found out that she was making a lot of effort to help fix up the village road, which was exactly what Long Xiaoshan wanted.
So he rushed over immediately.
Upon arriving at the township government, Long Xiaoshan made straight for the mayor\'s office.
After knocking on the door and hearing a voice from inside, Long Xiaoshan pushed the door open. Discover exclusive content at m,v l\'-NovelBin.net
He saw Shen Yuerong seated behind a large desk, wearing a silk blouse, looking elegant and beautiful as she read through documents.
"Sister Shen."
"Xiaoshan, you\'re here, please have a seat," Shen Yuerong quickly stood up and said.
Since there was no one else around, Long Xiaoshan didn\'t stand on ceremony with Shen Yuerong. He walked over and, looking at her complexion, said, "Sister Shen, you look well."
Shen Yuerong, now, had fair and rosy skin, completely different from when she was plagued by spirits.
"I have to thank you for those fruits and vegetables you brought; I eat them every day and feel even better than before," Shen Yuerong said.
Her eyes shining, she said, "Xiaoshan, your farm is very promising. Such fruits and vegetables, not just in this county but even in the Capital City, would have a market. My grandfather... well, an elder of mine also had nothing but praise after trying them."
