My lady, don't be angry. I'm letting you touch my big tail.

Qiao Dawang just couldn't understand how there could be love between a man and a woman.

Why does he like Lu Qianye?

After posing this question, Qiao Dawang's mind started working.

The answer will come to you.

Sister Lu is an upright person with a natural sense of justice, which makes him unable to resist reciting the law whenever he hears her words.

After listening to it a few times, you'll want to do it.

As a ferocious beast, he should theoretically be fierce even if no one provokes him.

As a result, he has now become Lu Qianye's legal education spokesperson.

Whenever an old lady was carrying something heavy, he would go and help her.

Qiao Dawang has come to realize that the woman he has followed since childhood and wanted to eat has now become his goddess.

"Big bowl, big bowl!"

"Ah, I'm here."

Lu Qianye chuckled. "I knew you were there. I was just wondering if you were daydreaming? Don't worry, we don't need to travel too far. We'll be there once we cross this mountain."

"what……"

Lu Qianye placed a bag of meat buns she had bought into his arms.

Suddenly, Qiao Dawang asked, "Sister Lu, I'll give you money. How much?"

"Huh? Do you have money?"

“Yes! Joey gives me pocket money, and when I do chores for her, she gives me a share of the money…”

As Qiao Dawang was about to take out a copper coin from his pocket, Lu Qianye quickly waved his hand.

"Oh, no need, no need!"

Hearing this, Qiao Dawang felt a surge of joy in his heart.

Sister Lu didn't want my money, which must be because we're very close, right?

But just as Qiao Dawang was about to follow, Lu Qianye, who was in front of him, touched his sword and said, "How can I take a child's money!"

Qiao Dawang almost tripped and fell flat on his face.

I'll pour it!

How... how come after all this talk, you're still a child?!

Qiao Dawang was so angry that he crushed the buns in his hand, turning them into a paste.

He was really angry!

As a result, Lu Qianye got into the car and said, "Leave one meat bun for me, the rest are yours. I've been waiting in line for so long, and I haven't eaten yet."

"what?"

Qiao Dawang quickly looked inside the paper package and found that there was indeed only one left that hadn't been crushed.

He ate the rest of the paste without a second thought and handed the clean, delicious bun to Lu Qianye.

Then he burped.

After crossing the mountain, the two indeed saw a small village, separated by a mountain, which was basically permanently isolated from the outside world.

Because it's easy to go down the mountain, but difficult to go up.

The mountain is particularly steep. On ordinary mountain roads, the further down you go, the more footholds you have. But on this mountain, the further down you go, the fewer footholds you have.

Only young and strong people can come up.

Therefore, the elderly, the weak, the sick, and the disabled will never be able to leave this place in their lifetime.

Lu Qianye couldn't help but sigh, "Then my mother must be a strong person, which is why she was able to come out at such a young age."

Qiao Dawang scoffed.

"No one should live in a place like this. The terrain... if a natural disaster or torrential rain hits, it will flood the place and people will be stuffed up."

But Qiao Dawang did not let his guard down.

Before he even entered the village, he had already experienced being tricked by ghosts, and he remained wary of everything in the village.

Qiao Dawang had even walked ahead of Lu Qianye, intending to scout ahead first.

Lu Qianye tilted his head, suddenly feeling a little uncomfortable.

Because she could actually see the top of Qiao Dawang's head, looking straight at him.

It seems that in her heart, she always looked down at Qiao Dawang, and regarded Qiao Dawang as a four or five-year-old child.

She even imagined that one day Qiao Dawan could turn back into her four or five-year-old self.

But four or five years have passed in the blink of an eye, and Qiao Dawang has not turned back into a boy.

"Big Bowl, you've grown so big."

"You just realized? But I'll definitely grow taller in the future."

Qiao Dawang looked at the dilapidated little village, scratching his head with one hand behind him.

"Sister Lu, hold my hand."

"what?"

"Oh dear, now that we're here, Sister Lu, please stop being so macho. You can't let go of my hand, and you can't leave my side."

Upon hearing this, Lu Qianye became alert.

"No... what did you see?"

Lu Qianye had even gotten into position, ready to unleash a flurry of chops.

Qiao Dawang replied, "I didn't see anything."

"That was quite a fright."

Qiao Dawang didn't turn around either, because his cheeks were flushed and his beautiful eyes were filled with shy tears.

Sister Lu's hands are so hot... as if they're burning him.

In Qiao Dawang's memory, when he was still a boy, Lu Qianye was afraid that he was a kidnapped child, so she would take his hand and take him here and there.

They brought him to their residence and carried the short, stocky man to a chair.

He ordered the servants to feed him.

He even fed her himself.

At that time, why didn't he feel that Sister Lu's hands were warm at all?

Even before he realized he liked Lu Qianye, he didn't feel anything when their arms would brush against each other.

Qiao Dawang took a deep breath to suppress the heat in his heart.

He said, "Sister Lu, please come with me. Here, only I can protect you, and only I can be trusted by you."

He asked Lu Qianye to recall what he had said before.

A child was watching the fields at night when he collapsed and never woke up. His pulse was weak, but he was still breathing.

It's strange that the village has nothing in this situation.

"Sister Lu, do you know? The death of a child is different from that of an adult. The underworld officials are afraid that the child is too young and will get lost and not be able to find his way home, so they will send officials to pick him up."

Lu Qianye understood immediately upon hearing this.

"That means our trip wasn't in vain. Just like when I take on cases at the yamen, once a case is filed, it has to be completed. We need to find the person alive or dead."

"Yes, Sister Lu, you're absolutely right, so we definitely need to investigate."

As soon as Qiao Dawang finished speaking, a person walked out from the far end of the village, peeking out half of his face from behind a small tree.

"Who...who is it?"

Lu Qianye said, "Oh, my mother used to be from this village. Her name was Lu Shuichun."

"Oh my, you're Da Chunzi's daughter!"

"Uh... um."

The middle-aged woman ran out from behind the tree, grabbed Lu Qianye's hand, and said, "Da Chun's daughter, it's so good that you could come! The certificate has been delivered, it has been delivered!"

"Um... my name is Lu Qianye."

"Da Yezi..."

My goodness!

Lu Qianye swore she did not look down on the people in this village.

But why call her that?

At this time, Qiao Dawang was very popular.

Because his real name is Qiao Dawang (meaning "Big Bowl Qiao").

Qiao Dawang listened from the side, somewhat lost in thought.

If Sister Lu is called Lu Daye and I am called Qiao Dawan, wouldn't we be a perfect match?

The middle-aged woman hurriedly said, "I never imagined that Da Chun's daughter had studied medicine! Quick, quick, come and see my little granddaughter."

"I...I didn't study medicine, oh well, let's go take a look first!"
