Immersive Fast Wear: The Anti-Strike Manual of the Heartthrob

Zhu Lerong was walking on the road, and at some point she grabbed a piece of horsetail grass in her hand, rolled it between her fingers, and twirled it back and forth, muttering to herself non-stop.

"It's not that I can't leave Lin Chao, but I may never be able to return to Tonglin Village, and then I won't be able to repay the favor of saving my life. I'm not an ungrateful person."

"Besides, if Lin Chao doesn't come with us, she will definitely starve to death with her cooking skills."

"She also likes to be kind. If I don't take care of her, she will definitely become penniless again. She can't take care of herself."

'Yes, that's right, she can't leave me.'

Zhu Lerong became more and more confident as she spoke, and she secretly concealed the guilt she had felt before.

At this moment, he completely forgot that he had only been with Lin Chao for two years.

In the ten or twenty years without his presence, Lin Chao had been living well.

Zhu Lerong didn't care about this, or rather, he didn't want to think about it.

All in all, Zhu Lerong straightened her back and determined what she wanted to do.

He threw the dogtail grass that was twisted into a knot in his hand away and walked happily towards the village chief's house.

"Village Chief! Village Chief! Is anyone home?"

"Yes. What's the matter?" A middle-aged woman with a rosy face walked out of the house.

Perhaps it is because people are in high spirits when something good happens, the woman in her fifties is very energetic at the moment, and the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes cannot hide the joy on her face.

"Oh, it's Xiaolin's family. What do you want to talk to me about?"

Village Chief Meng still had some impression of Zhu Lerong, after all, she was someone brought back by Lin Chao.

In particular, he knew at first glance that he was not one of the men in the countryside, with fair skin and a delicate body.

Village chief Meng guessed at the time that this man might be the young master of a wealthy family, or that his family had fallen into poverty, or that he had encountered bandits and ended up here.

Zhu Lerong walked up to Village Chief Meng and bowed to greet him first.

"Good afternoon, village chief."

Then I started my plan step by step.

"I heard that Miss Meng passed the imperial examination. Congratulations."

Village Chief Meng laughed and waved his hand modestly: "No, no."

Zhu Lerong first praised the village chief's daughter, and then naturally led to the next topic:

"Ms. Meng is well-known for her talent, so it is not surprising that she passed the imperial examination. However, the sage has also moved up the other examinations this year. Will Ms. Meng go to the capital soon?"

Village Chief Meng nodded.

Zhu Lerong continued, "It's not a short journey from Tonglin Village to the capital. The mountains are high and the roads are long. It will take at least ten days to get there. That's not a big deal. I'm just afraid of encountering some bandits and robbers along the way."

"It would be bad if the exam was delayed because of this."

After being reminded by him, Village Chief Meng immediately became alert.

He is right!

"Then what should we do?" Village Chief Meng frowned anxiously.

Zhu Lerong: "To be honest, my mother and father had an accident in the capital, so I left there in a hurry. Now two years have passed, and His Majesty has issued a general amnesty, so I want to go to the capital to pay homage to those deceased elders."

"I originally thought that the girl was also going to the capital, so I thought that we could go together and take care of each other, so that we could be safer."

Village Chief Meng's eyes lit up: "That's great."

Zhu Lerong hung his head in disappointment.

"What a pity. I am a weak man. I am afraid I cannot protect the two of them even if I go with them. It would be better if a strong woman came with us."

This immediately gave Village Chief Meng a good idea.
