When Xie Jingran heard that this was the legendary Er Gouzi, he couldn't help but be surprised.

It turns out this is my lifesaver!

The last time they met during the tiger hunting, Xie Jingran did not see Lu Yao's appearance clearly because the situation was critical.

I just felt that she descended from the sky, shining, like a god general wearing colorful armor, and subdued the tiger in one fell swoop.

Later I heard from Songyan that Ergouzi was a well-known scoundrel in the local area and was very domineering.

Xie Jingran once secretly wondered: Would she look like the one described in the storybook?

His face was full of flesh, his expression was vulgar, his mouth was crooked and his eyes were slanted. It was obvious that he was not a good person.

But now seeing it, Xie Jingran felt that he was extremely wrong and was completely tricked by the script.

The scoundrel and bully Er Gouzi on the opposite side actually has a very good-looking appearance.

She has regular features, a pretty face, a leisurely demeanor, and clear eyes. She doesn't look like a bad person at all.

Especially when she looked over and met his gaze, Xie Jingran's heartbeat suddenly quickened.

He almost blushed.

"So you are my benefactor!" Xie Jingran quickly stepped forward and bowed deeply to Lu Yao:

"Thank you for saving me last time, Jing Ran is very grateful. Please accept my greeting."

With Song Yan's introduction, Lu Yao finally understood that this was the young master of the Xie family whom she had accidentally saved.

To be honest, although she took a look at Mr. Xie that day, because the situation was urgent, she didn't see what Xie Jingran looked like.

I only remember that he was a handsome young man, but I forgot even more about him later.

I didn't expect that we would meet here by chance today.

Lu Yao quickly put down the wild boar and clasped her fists towards Xie Jingran:

"Thank you, sir, for being so polite. It is my duty to help if I have the ability. You sent so many thank-you gifts a few days ago that I feel a little embarrassed."

When Xie Jingran heard this, he realized that Ergouzi was actually quite humble and polite, just as Songyan had said when he came back that day.

"That's what my benefactor deserves." Xie Jingran pursed his lips, "What is this, my benefactor?"

Everyone's eyes turned to the big wild boar on the ground.

It's scary to see such a big wild boar with its head lost, but even more shocking.

"Oh, I just called you." Lu Yao quickly explained.

"I went up the mountain today, hoping to get some mountain produce or firewood, but I ran into a big wild boar.

This wild boar is so ferocious. If I hadn’t brought an axe with me, I’d probably never be able to return home again!”

Lu Yao briefly told everyone the story of her battle with the wild boar, which amazed the three people.

"Ergouzi, you are still really awesome!" Songyan exclaimed.

"You are worthy of being called a tiger-fighting hero! Such a big wild boar cannot be subdued so easily even if someone who knows Kung Fu encounters it." Zhan Ying couldn't help but praise.

Xie Jingran smiled with his lips pursed, and his eyes accidentally met Lu Yao's again.

"Meeting is fate. How about I give you a piece of wild boar meat to try?" Lu Yao said as she wanted to take a knife to cut a piece of pork.

“Don’t!” Xie Jingran quickly stopped Lu Yao and said embarrassedly: “I can’t eat this…”

Lu Yao was stunned: "I understand. Wild boar meat smells too strong, isn't it?"

Xie Jingran nodded.

Although in novels, there are often time travelers who go up the mountain to hunt wild boars and come back to improve the lives of their entire family.

But Lu Yao had watched some science videos and learned that wild boars are not delicious.

Because they are wild and have not been castrated, wild boars have a strong fishy smell and their meat is tougher and harder to chew.

It is not as delicious as the domestic pigs that our ancestors have selected and raised for thousands of years.

Unless you put in the effort to cook it and you just like it.

Xie Jingran was a young man from a wealthy family. He had been living a life of luxury since childhood and was very particular about his meals.

It seems inappropriate to let him eat wild boar meat.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Xie. I was inconsiderate just now." Lu Yao said awkwardly.

"It's okay, that's what you meant." Xie Jingran looked at Lu Yao and suddenly had a strange feeling in his heart.

From all the conversations just now, Xie Jingran keenly realized that this Er Gouzi did not regard him as a legitimate son from a powerful family in the capital.

When facing herself, she neither fawned nor flattered, nor was she afraid.

They were totally unlike the people he had met before.

She was very natural and generous, and spoke to him openly, just like a friend.

Yes, that's the "friend" feeling.

She even treated her servant Song Yan and bodyguard Zhan Ying equally.

You can call her "disrespectful of superiors and inferiors" or you can call her "a believer in equality at heart."

What a strange dog!

It is already very strange that a legendary evil female village bully's appearance and temperament do not match the legend.

Why does it feel so unexpected?

Xie Jingran didn't realize that he had developed a strong interest in Er Gouzi.

After he rejected Lu Yao's gift in person, he felt that his behavior was somewhat inappropriate, so he said:

"There is a cook in my family who has cooked wild boar meat before and has some skills.

How about I ask her to come to your house and help deal with it after I get back?"

"No, no, no!"

This time it was Lu Yao who quickly waved her hand and refused.

In her previous life, she had seen a short video about cooking wild boar meat. The main point of the video was: if you want to remove the fishy smell, use more ingredients.

The Lu family has always lived a frugal life, and there are probably not many ingredients in the kitchen.

If there is nothing at home, what’s the point of sending the best chef?

Besides, "Actually, I'm planning to sell this big wild boar!" Lu Yao smiled.

"I don't know what the market is like for wild boars. I hope I can sell them for a good price and earn more silver!"

It is common for villagers living in this area to hunt wild game and sell it in the city.

Songyan rolled his eyes a few times, remembering some things he had recently heard about Ergouzi, and immediately understood the meaning of it.

"Hey, Ergou is saving money for his husband!" Songyan joked.

"Hehe~~How did you know?" Lu Yao also laughed.

After she left with the wild boar on her back, Song Yan started gossiping with her son:

"Sir, this Er Gouzi wants to exchange the wild boar for money and save up to marry a husband!

She is almost twenty years old, and because of her bad reputation, she can never find a husband.

Luckily, I won a lot of money for hunting tigers a while ago, so I can afford to go on blind dates everywhere."

Songyan told Xie Jingran in detail what she had heard from others about Ergouzi's blind date.

Of course, this includes the wonderful story of Lu Yao going to the village chief’s house to give a betrothal gift and propose marriage, but being rejected.

"Ergouzi's blind date" has been regarded as a joke by many people.

After hearing this, Xie Jingran did not find it funny, but rather felt a little disappointed.

He frowned and said, “Songyan, don’t learn from those villagers to make fun of our benefactor.

You can also see that the benefactor is very different from what is described in the legend.

Rumors are sometimes not credible, and we cannot just follow what others say.”

"You are right, sir. I know I was wrong." Songyan quickly bowed his head and admitted his mistake.

Xie Jingran's gaze was cast into the distance.

There, Lu Yao was carrying the big wild boar and had already walked a long way.

But her jumping figure still shows her happy mood.

"She is really old. If she can't find a husband, her situation will be really bad." Xie Jingran murmured to himself.

As a Fengchao person, who doesn't know the iron rule about marriage?

If a woman has not married by the age of twenty, she shall be fined sixty taels of silver or exiled.

Given the Lu family's financial situation, they cannot afford the sixty taels fine.

Then the only option is exile.

This idiot has obviously reached the edge of a cliff.

"Sir, you sympathize with her, but who will sympathize with you?" Song Yan said aggrievedly after hearing what her master said.
