Chapter 516: The Big Shot of the Hidden Mist Village

Wang Lina frowned slightly, a hint of worry flashing in her star-like eyes. She shook her head gently and said softly, "They know the approximate location, so it should be fine. We don't need to go, right?"

After hearing this, Tang Yin couldn't help but smile bitterly. He scratched his messy black hair, a hint of anxiety in his eyes. "The main thing is, if I don't put the motorcycle in neutral, I won't be able to push it. I don't know if they can do it." He paused, a hint of determination in his voice. "Besides, this is my own business. I can't stay out of it. Besides, if I can't push the motorcycle, it will be troublesome."

Wang Lina's delicate face flickered with a complex expression as she heard this. She bit her tender lower lip, seemingly weighing her options. Finally, she whispered, "I think it's best if you don't get involved, Mr. Tang Yin. You're an outsider, so it's best not to work with them for long."

Tang Yin was stunned when he heard this. A hint of doubt flashed across his inky black eyes. "I shouldn't have a conflict with them, right?"

Wang Lina couldn't help but sigh softly when she heard this question. A hint of helplessness flashed across her bright eyes. "Although they are adults, not everyone here is as open-minded as I am."

At this moment, Wang Lina's expression suddenly grew serious. Her bright eyes stared directly at Tang Yin, and her tone became particularly serious: "Tang Yin, regardless of whether you have any ill intentions or not, as long as you're around, they'll feel pressured. They were already very abnormal just now."

Chen Xiang, who was standing by, nodded as well. A hint of approval flashed across her weather-beaten face. "...Well, let's leave this matter to them. It's best not to interfere."

Hearing this, Tang Yin couldn't help but scratch his head. A hint of confusion flashed in his bright eyes. "Is that so?"

Seeing this, Chen Xiang nodded gently. A hint of helplessness appeared on her face, which was full of wisdom. "Well, the Hidden Mist Village has its own way of doing things. The men here are just like that..."

After hearing these words, Tang Yin seemed to understand something. A flash of realization flashed across his obsidian eyes, and he thought: Guests must abide by the rules of being guests and must not overstep the boundaries. This must be the etiquette of long ago.

After figuring this out, Tang Yin asked softly, "Then, where should I wait for them?"

Hearing this, Wang Lina showed a gentle smile on her delicate little face, "Let's go to my house first."

Hearing this answer, Tang Yin couldn't help but secretly complain in his heart: "Exactly as I guessed." He was very curious, why not "wait here while drinking tea"? What was going on?

Over the next period of time, Wang Lina discussed several things with Tang Yin. Although she was the one who initiated the conversation, Tang Yin could sense a hint of displeasure in her slightly trembling voice.

Wang Lina whispered that the villagers of Wuyin Village had been a bit nervous recently. Besides Tang Yin, there were three other outsiders in the village. Through the conversation, Tang Yin deduced that Wang Lina had seen a lost child in the Shenge River yesterday morning.

"That child doesn't even know his own name," Wang Lina said helplessly. "We don't know what to do now. We have no choice but to arrange for someone to take care of the child..."

At this point, Wang Lina's tone suddenly became a little low. "According to the superstition in this village, that child is very unlucky. It's mainly because of Grandma Rong that she thinks so."

Tang Yin couldn't help but frown when he heard this. A hint of doubt flashed in his dark eyes, "But, in that case, why don't you hand the lost child over to the police?"

When Wang Lina heard this question, a complicated expression appeared on her delicate face. She sighed softly, as if she had something to hide.

Just then, a breeze blew by, bringing with it the fresh scent of the distant mountains and forests. Tang Yin stood there quietly, taking in the atmosphere of this mysterious village, his heart filled with anticipation for the unknown and a hint of inexplicable unease.

……

Tang Yin and Wang Lina walked side by side on a winding mountain path. A gentle breeze blew by, bringing with it the fresh aroma of grass and trees, a refreshing feeling. Tang Yin would occasionally steal glances at the beauty beside him, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: This village beauty is as beautiful as a fairy from heaven!

"Ms. Wang Lina," Tang Yin couldn't help but ask, "Why don't you hand the lost child over to the police? Wouldn't that make more sense?"

Wang Lina's clear eyes flickered with complexity when she heard this. She bit her lip and replied vaguely, "Well... the Hidden Mist Village has its own rules, and it's hard to explain them all right away."

Tang Yin scratched his head, thinking: This answer is too ambiguous, isn't it? However, for the sake of beauty, he decided to believe Wang Lina for the time being. After all, who could refuse a beautiful woman's request?
Wang Lina seemed to want to change the subject and began introducing the other outsiders in the village. "Besides the lost child, there are two other magazine reporters here for an interview," she blinked her bright eyes. "They came in the regular way, from Baifeng Village."

"Baifeng Manor?" Tang Yin looked puzzled. "What kind of place is that?"

Wang Lina smiled, a smile that seemed to melt ice and snow. "Baifeng Manor is our Wuyin Village's older brother village!" she explained enthusiastically. "It's higher up the mountain, and it's our subsidiary village. Our village has a relatively small population, so we rely on Baifeng Manor for many things."

Tang Yin suddenly realized something, remembering that this place was indeed on the map he bought at the convenience store. He couldn't help but sigh, "I see, no wonder I hadn't heard of it before."

Wang Lina continued her introduction, her voice as melodious as a lark. "It's an hour's journey between Baifengzhuang and Shengezhuang. The mountain road in between is very rugged, and it takes at least 20 minutes!" She winked playfully. "Our high school students go to Baifengzhuang. The two villages have a very close relationship."

Tang Yin was so fascinated by what he heard that he couldn't help but ask, "Are your customs and culture the same?"

"Basically, it's shared," Wang Lina nodded, "but the festivals throughout the year are somewhat different. For Baifeng Manor, our Wuyin Village is a special place!"

Just as Tang Yin was about to continue asking, Wang Lina suddenly stopped and changed the subject: "Ah, we're almost there, let's talk later!"

Tang Yin's heart was itching to get to the bottom of this. Didn't this pique his curiosity? He couldn't help but wonder: What secrets does this village hold? Why did it stop so abruptly at the crucial point?

Looking at Wang Lina's angelic face, Tang Yin had to suppress his inner doubts for the time being. He thought to himself: There must be a lot of things here that are kept secret from outsiders. But it doesn't matter. One day, I will uncover all the secrets of this mysterious village!
Filled with questions and anticipation for the unknown, Tang Yin followed Wang Lina onward. The mountain mist gradually thickened, adding a touch of hazy beauty to this mysterious village. Tang Yin took a deep breath and wondered: What kind of adventure awaits me next?

……

In the hallway of the student dormitory, Wang Lina gently pushed open the door, followed closely by Tang Yin. Sunlight streamed in through the windows, casting streaks of golden light on the floor. Wang Lina's mood didn't seem as cheerful as it had been the night before. She frowned slightly and remained silent.

Tang Yin secretly studied Wang Lina's profile, feeling secretly delighted. After all their conversation, he finally confirmed that this village beauty was single! This discovery made his heart beat faster.

"Ahem," Tang Yin cleared his throat, trying to break the silence, "Wang Lina, what do you like to do?"

Wang Lina turned around and smiled faintly, "Nothing special, just read a book and listen to music." Her answer was brief, but it made Tang Yin's heart jump with joy.

Time passed slowly, and the door of the room remained open. Tang Yin noticed that Wang Lina would occasionally look out the door, as if hinting at something. He suddenly realized that this was to show others that "we haven't done anything secretive." Thinking of this, Tang Yin couldn't help but smile.

At noon, familiar footsteps echoed from the corridor. Zhao Gang had finally returned, followed by a gray-haired old man.

"Ouch," Zhao Gang complained, rubbing his aching shoulder. "I didn't expect the motorcycle to be so heavy, Uncle Gao."

The old man, known as Uncle Gao, smiled disapprovingly and said, "Oh, it's no big deal. It's lighter than last year's prey."

Tang Yin's eyes widened, his jaw nearly dropping to the ground. He stammered, "You...you actually managed to carry the motorcycle back?" Zhao Gang raised an eyebrow in triumph. "How's that? Impressive, isn't it?"

Tang Yin was still immersed in shock: "Over 200 kilograms of iron block, and you just carried it back like that? Your strength is too terrifying!"

Seeing Tang Yin's stunned look, Wang Lina couldn't help but burst out laughing. This was the first time she had truly smiled today.

Tang Yin's curiosity was overflowing, and he quickly asked, "How did you get the motorcycle up the cliff?"

Zhao Gang was about to answer when Old Man Gao nudged him with his elbow. Suddenly realizing what was going on, he quickly changed his tone and said, "There's a pulley here. Sometimes we have to lift things up from below."

Old Man Gao frowned and whispered, "Hey, Gangzi, you talk too much!"

Zhao Gang smiled awkwardly and quickly changed the subject: "By the way, is your car okay? It looks like it's been soaked in water for a long time."

Tang Yin shook his head and said helplessly, "I don't know. Let me take a look."

Zhao Gang clapped his hands, as if he had accomplished some important task. "Now that the property has been returned to its original owner, the rest is up to you. Uncle Gao, it's getting late. How about grinding the millstone tomorrow?"

Old Man Gao nodded, and the two turned to leave. Tang Yin hurriedly thanked them loudly from behind: "Thank you! Thank you so much!"

After the two men left, Tang Yin squatted beside the motorcycle, muttering to himself worriedly: "Okay, what should I do now?"

At this moment, Wang Lina, who had been standing by, said softly: "...Do you want me to help you?"

Tang Yin looked up and saw a look of concern on Wang Lina's beautiful face, and his heart warmed. He stood up and smiled confidently, "Things will work out when the time comes. Let's give it a try."

……

In the sunny Wuyin Village, Tang Yin and Wang Lina stood beside the motorcycle, facing the muddy "injured" motorcycle, and they both sighed at the same time. The first step of repairing the motorcycle was like an insurmountable mountain, daunting.

Just as Tang Yin was about to roll up his sleeves and start cleaning the car, a sharp voice suddenly rang out from behind him: "Hey! What are you doing?"

The two turned around and saw a short, gray-haired old lady approaching them aggressively. She was the villager's respectful name, Granny Rong, and her face was filled with displeasure.

"Grandma Rong, we are just about to clean the motorcycle." Before Wang Lina could finish her words, she was interrupted by Grandma Rong.

"No, no!" Granny Rong was so angry that she jumped up and down. "The Divine River is a dirty place. The mud on this motorcycle cannot be left in our Mist Village!"

Tang Yin looked confused and asked Wang Lina in a low voice: "It's just mud, what's the problem?"

Wang Lina shook her head, signaling him not to ask. She turned to Grandma Rong and patiently explained, "Grandma, we just want to get the car fixed."

Granny Rong's eyes widened, as if she were thinking about something. After a moment, she sighed and softened her tone. "Alright, alright, since you're from the Wang family, I'll let you off the hook. After all, this is the only faucet in the village, but you're not allowed to waste water!"

After getting permission, Tang Yin and Wang Lina felt relieved and immediately began to clean the motorcycle. As the dirt was washed away, Tang Yin was pleasantly surprised to find that the quality of the motorcycle was much more reliable than he had imagined.

"Look," Tang Yin pointed at the tire and said, "After cleaning, the strange noise disappeared. It seems that only the tire burst, there should be no major problems elsewhere."

Wang Lina nodded, her brow still furrowed. "But we're still short of tools." Suddenly remembering something, she asked, "Didn't you bring a toolbox? Isn't that a must-have for a road trip?"

Tang Yin scratched his head awkwardly: "I thought all I had to do was contact a rescue company, but it seems I was overthinking it."

"This is too casual." Wang Lina couldn't help but complain.

Tang Yin smiled bitterly and said, "Oh, I'm speechless. To be honest, I set out in a rage. I was too impatient at the time."

Wang Lina's eyes lit up, and she revealed a gossipy expression: "Oh? What happened?"

"I broke up with my girlfriend." Tang Yin said lightly.

Wang Lina smiled and shook her head: "I don't believe it!"

Tang Yin sighed inwardly: This is absolutely true. However, looking at Wang Lina's bright smile, he suddenly felt that perhaps this unexpected journey would bring unexpected surprises.

Wang Lina suddenly remembered something and reminded him, "By the way, we need tire repair tools, right? They should be available in the Qian Group's factory."

"Qian Group? What is that?" Tang Yin asked curiously.

Wang Lina explained, "The Qian Group is a township enterprise established in our village. Its factory is the largest building in the entire Wuyin Village. If there were no tools even there, then the entire Wuyin Village would certainly be gone."

Tang Yin's eyes lit up: "Is that so? Then let's go and ask."

Wang Lina sighed: "Well, to be honest, I really don't want to go, but now I have no other choice."

"Is another big shot coming?" Tang Yin asked half-jokingly.

Wang Lina nodded with a complicated expression: "Well, and, how should I put it, his character..." She didn't finish, but Tang Yin had already guessed that this "big shot" might not be so easy to get along with.

The sun was still shining brightly, and the breeze gently brushed across their faces. Tang Yin looked at Wang Lina's slightly worried face, and a surge of courage suddenly surged in his heart. He gently patted Wang Lina's shoulder and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I'm here."

Wang Lina was stunned for a moment, then she smiled brightly: "Okay, then let's go meet this 'big shot' together!"
