Chapter 887
It was already ten o’clock at night when he returned home.
Originally, Lin Ran thought that the four women would be sitting in the living room waiting for him to come back with great worry, but when he opened the door, it was only Su and Song Nuan, who were putting on their face masks without the slightest hint of nervousness.
“Back?”
When they saw Lin Ran come back, Song Nuan and Su Rou only greeted him very blandly, without any intention of asking him what he had gone to do at all.
“No, didn’t you guys notice that my phone was switched off today?”
Lin Ran asked, in fact after he turned it on, he only saw one missed call from Song Nuan.
“I know! Didn’t I call you?”
Song Nuan asked.
“No, so you guys aren’t worried about me?”
Lin Ran looked puzzled, why did he feel that this was a bit odd today.
“Worried about what, aren’t you usually like this? We got used to it a long time ago!”
Su Rou said blandly.
“Me!”
Lin Ran was speechless for a while and had to differ from Hua Tian Dao.
“Where are they both?”
“You mean Qiqi and Qin Bing, they went back!”
Su Rou said seriously.
“Didn’t you see the news today? All the people who went missing in the Wan Ren Mountain before were found, but some of them were badly injured, Dean Yang asked Qin Bing to help out tomorrow, so she went back to rest!”
“Help?”
Lin Ran was stunned, only then did he remember that there were indeed many injured people inside the Ten Thousand Rengshan Mountain, and it seemed that they were all being treated in Temperance City this time.
“What about Qiqi?”
Lin Ran asked.
“Kiki said she wanted to learn how to do business, so she went home to get lessons from her old man, right! I’m going to start practicing my dance tomorrow, it’s about my promotion to professor after school starts!”
Su Rou said seriously.
“Why are you all working so hard all of a sudden!”
Lin Ran was stunned, they were definitely not like this before, he didn’t expect that even Su Rou was working so hard now.
“It can’t be helped, no one wants to be left behind by the stage!”
Su Rou stretched out her hand, but Lin Ran understood what she meant by this.
“What about you?”
Lin Ran turned his head to look at Song Nuan.
“Me? I don’t know yet, can’t you give a freshly graduated college student a little cushion of time?”
Song Nuan said helplessly.
“Of course you can, but I’m going to say one thing!”
Lin Ran laughed.
“What is it?”
The two women were stunned and were busy looking at Lin Ran.
“I’ve decided to go back to my hometown for a while, so do you guys want to join me?”
“Good thinking!”
The two women both gave Lin Ran a blank look at his words.
“You still want to take two back, beautiful you!”
Song Nuan even glared at Lin Ran.
“I’m also doing it for your own good!”
Lin Ran said with a straight face.
“Think about it, you just graduated and haven’t found a goal in life, just so you can go to the village to take a break, as for Su Rou in the village thinking about dancing isn’t it more ethereal?”
“You come less, anyway, I would not dare to dance in your village!”
Su Rou was busy refusing, mentioning this she couldn’t help but remember the last time she followed the guy back to the village and was almost molested by hooligans.
“Er ….. Our village is actually quite nice!”
Lin Ran was helpless.
“Then I won’t go either, when I’ve choreographed and directed my own dance, I can go and see you guys, but right now I’m definitely not going!”
Su Rou refused outright.
“I’m fine with that, the point is if I go to your village and still don’t think of a life path in the end? Wouldn’t that be a waste of time?”
Song Nuan asked.
“How could it be!”
Lin Ran suddenly had a bright flash in his eyes and laughed.
“At least you’ve gained the heart of a young man, no good life path, just stay home and be a full-time wife!”
“Bah! Who wants to be a full time daily for you!”
Song Nuan gave Lin Ran a disdainful white glance, then asked.
“When are you going back?”
“First thing tomorrow morning!”
Lin Ran said.
“Ah? Such a rush?”
Song Nuan was stunned to hear this.
“That’s right, it’s so urgent that we haven’t even prepared a gift yet!”
Su Rou also said from the side.
“What gifts to prepare? Don’t you know what my grandmother likes?”
Lin Ran had a helpless look on his face.
“Of course I know, that’s why I need time to prepare, let’s do it tomorrow afternoon!”
Song Nuan said busily.
Lin Ran smiled and shook his head, sighing.
“Ai! It seems you still don’t understand what my grandmother likes!”
“I know, I wrote it all down last time!”
Song Nuan raised the small book in her hand, it was exactly what she had written down as her grandmother’s favourite things when she went to Lin Ran’s house last time.
“That’s not what I’m talking about!”
Lin Ran was helpless.
“Then what is it?”
Song Nuan looked bewildered.
“My grandmother’s favourite thing is of course hugging her grandchildren, you just don’t bring anything with you and hug a grandson back, she’ll be so happy!”
Lin Ran said in a serious manner.
“A grandson?”
Su Rou was stunned.
Song Nuan’s pretty face even turned red.
“Lin Ran! You stinking rascal, who wants to hold a grandson back, if you want to hold one, you can have one yourself!”
“How can I have a baby by myself!”
Lin Ran said helplessly.
“You still say that!”
Song Nuan’s pretty face turned even redder as she copied a chicken feather duster and chased after him.
The night went by with a lot of fighting, and in the end Lin Ran compromised and went back in the afternoon instead.
Early in the morning, Song Nuan and Su Rou went to choose a gift, while Lin Ran went to the shop.
The Feng Shui business is like this, much like antiques, three years without opening and eating three years, just the last Meng family’s list, if you were an ordinary person you could eat for a long time.
It was a rare day for this guy, Wang Yifeng, to be in the sun in his shop, a lazy look on his face made Lin Ran want to laugh.
“How come Comrade Wang has the leisure to sunbathe here today too! Is he not feeling well, or is he overly tired?”
Lin Ran laughed.
“Don’t you dare damage Fat Master, I’ve been seriously overstretched in the last two days, so I’m just about to buy some medicine to make up for it!”
Wang Yifeng didn’t even open his eyes.
“I went to see Xiao Cui again last night! I came back in the early hours of the morning with two dark circles under my eyes!”
To the side, Master Yu closed his feng shui booklet and walked over with a smile.
“Hey! Eating, drinking, whoring and gambling, this dead fatty has taken up three adoptions, if there was one more, I’d have to contact the slaughterhouse to sell him!”
Lin Ran shook his head helplessly.
“You can’t spit ivory out of your dog’s mouth! Xiao Cui and I are in true love!”
Wang Yifeng was furious.
“True love, you get married!”
Lin Ran laughed.
“I’m still young, so I’ll have to be chic for two more years. If I get married and have a child and wash nappies every day, I’ll go crazy!”
Wang Yifeng laughed.
Lin Ran smiled and shook his head helplessly, then looked at Master Yu.
“You said there were a few things you didn’t understand last time,? Tell me about it, I have to leave at noon!”
“Good!”
Master Yu hurriedly greeted Lin Ran and sat down, and then the two of them discussed it.
For Feng Shui, Master Yu had a foundation after all, so he learned quickly. According to Lin Ran’s observation, nowadays, Master Yu was at least close to feeling through the barrier of the Qi Watching Realm, and could cross over to the Qi Watching Realm at any time.
As for the Heaven Seizing Realm, I’m afraid it would be a bit difficult, but it would depend on his own destiny to achieve it in the end.
It was already noon when he finished explaining a few questions, so Lin Ran got up and told the two of them that he had to go back to the village for a while.
Rarely, Wang Yifeng actually did not want to go along, but said.
“That’s fine, you go back to your holiday, leave the shop to me and Old Yu Tau, Fat Master I’ve been hitting it off with Xiao Cui lately, I can’t give up on my previous work at this time!”
“When I come back, I’ll be lucky if you don’t turn from fat to skinny!”
Lin Ran laughed helplessly, then said goodbye to the two and left the shop.
Chapter 888
At noon, Lin Ran received Song Nuan at the entrance of the shopping mall, and after saying goodbye to Su Rou, the two of them set off on their journey back to the village.
And this time, the two also chose to drive back.
Because the last time they went back they knew that the village had been planned as a village for poverty alleviation, so the road had already been repaired, they just didn’t know whether the village had changed much after they went back this time.
“I really hope that the villagers can also live a well-off life!”
Lin Ran’s heart was filled with anticipation, that was after all the place where he was born and raised.
In his quest for truth and to become stronger, it would be nice to go back once in a while to take a look.
After an hour of driving down the road, the two of them had arrived in the town.
The town has developed much better than the last time they came back, and in just half a year’s time, there are more tall buildings in the town.
And when that time comes, the traffic to the town in Temagami City is bound to be even more developed and convenient.
“Let’s go, it’s time to go home!”
Lin Ran smiled and drove on, from the town to Linjiawan, there was no access road before, it would take at least a day to walk, but now that the road was repaired, it took only twenty minutes to drive.
“What a big change!”
Looking at the new houses modified in some of the villages along the way, Song Nuan couldn’t help but exclaim.
“Yes, I hope our Linjiawan will also get better and better!”
Lin Ran’s heart was filled with anticipation.
The car drove for ten minutes, seeing that it had already reached the foot of the mountain where Linjiawan was located, but suddenly there was a group of people blocking the way ahead, looking as if there was some kind of conflict.
“What’s going on?”
Song Nuan asked, puzzled.
“Nothing, I’ll go down and take a look!”
Lin Ran greeted, and whirled himself out of the car.
……
“Brother Bai, we were all brothers before, and I’ve already paid the protection fee this month, what do you mean by that?”
In the crowd, a cloth-clad youth looked at the group of people in front of him with anger on his face.
“Protection fee? Big Dragon, didn’t you know Brother Bai when you first started hanging out with me? I can charge you whatever the F**k I want, you paid it a few days ago, but I’m in a bad mood today, so I’m going to charge you, will you pay it?”
A young man in a leather jacket said with a face full of disdain.
“Brother Bai, you know what kind of situation my brother is in now, let’s be merciful, I don’t earn much money in a month!”
Big Dragon frowned, while beside him, two youths even younger than him couldn’t help but tug at his clothes, looking scared.
“Don’t be afraid! Don’t forget that our village is also covered by someone!”
Dalong advised.
In front of him, Bai smiled at his words.
“Someone is covering? How? People in Tanjiang City to get a verbal cover for your village, huh? It’s simply laughable!”
“Haha!”
A group of people around them all laughed.
“Brother Bai, if you want face, I’ll give you face too, just go away after you’ve had your fill of words, it’s not easy for anyone to live, why do you have to be like this!”
Big Dragon patiently persuaded.
However, Bai did not listen to him at all and said disdainfully.
“You’re wrong, it’s your life that’s not easy, but my life is very good, don’t forget that my father is the village chief, what the F**k are you!”
“Brother Bai, you’re not making sense, your village of Bai Gou and our Lin Jia Wan are right next to each other, you’re blocking every day so that the other villagers know how to talk about you and your father behind your back?”
Dalong blandly said.
“Saying my father? Just F**king your village people also dare, let me know who it is, in this life he will never want to get out of Lin Jia Wan!”
Brother Bai said disdainfully.
“Brother Long! Why don’t we call!”
Suddenly, a youth standing behind Big Dragon spoke up, he was really scared.
“Can’t call! We can handle such trivial matters ourselves!”
Big Dragon refused.
“But it’s been several times this month, we’re fine, if this continues, you won’t even be able to afford to eat!”
Another youth next to him spoke up.
“It’s alright! I’m not so disgusting as Big Dragon!”
Big Dragon said through clenched teeth.
“What’s the matter? Bitter drama, huh? Are you done? Pay up when you’re done!”
Brother Bai looked at Big Dragon with a cold smile on his face, he just wanted to purposely fix the latter, not for any other reason, just because this kid followed him in the first place, and now he actually wants to quit, is that possible? Is it that easy to back out?
“Brother Bai, we’re not going out today!”
Big Dragon said, picking up the basket and preparing to go back, but at that moment, Brother Bai took a step forward and pulled the basket directly, immediately pulling Big Dragon and the basket to the ground.
The herbs in the basket were scattered all over the ground.
“Brother Bai! What do you mean by that!”
Big Dragon’s eyes turned red and he got up to look at the other man with anger in his eyes.
However, Brother Bai did not care at all and sneered.
“Nothing means anything, either take the money or leave something behind!”
“Brother Bai, don’t go too far, you ask for a thousand dollars a month for protection, I only earn sixteen dollars a month, cutting people off will get you struck by lightning!”
Big Dragon said angrily.
“O? Is that so? Am I being struck by lightning?
Bai laughed, then he looked at Big Dragon disdainfully and said.
“You, on the other hand, listened to that kid and you want to quit, and you want to F**king live your life, you live it! You get a F**king life for me! ”
“What does he care about you now? You’re here getting beaten up and you’re afraid to give a Sh*t, where is he? That’s F**king stupid!”
“You!”
Big Dragon gritted his teeth in anger, but was speechless.
“He’ll be back for sure!”
Big Dragon gritted his teeth and said this, followed by turning around to leave, it looked like the herbs would not be taken away today.
“Ha ha! That’s right! Remember, next time you come out without money, leave the goods behind, it’s F**king bad luck!”
Looking at Big Dragon, Bai then laughed in satisfaction.
“Hey! Don’t you want the herbs?”
Suddenly, just as Brother Bai’s voice fell, a young man’s voice rang out.
Hearing this voice, the others did not feel anything, but Big Dragon and Brother Bai suddenly stiffened, especially the latter felt a chill quickly permeate their bodies.
“Lin …..”
Big Dragon hurriedly turned around, and when he saw the figure in the crowd who was bending down to pick up herbs, his eyes instantly turned red.
“Lin Ran!”
“Big Dragon! It’s been a long time!”
Lin Ran smiled at him while putting the herbs he had picked up into his back basket and asked with a smile.
“He’s here to collect your protection money?”
Big Dragon’s eyes were red and he didn’t say anything for half a day, this was simply too stifling.
It took a few moments before he nodded with red eyes.
“Good, I know!”
Lin Ran patted Big Dragon’s shoulder and turned around towards Brother Bai.
“Lin ….. Lin Ran …… You ….. What do you want!”
Seeing Lin Ran, Bai Cai immediately panicked, he could still remember the way Lin Ran dealt with him last time, it almost didn’t scare him to death!
“What? You’ve brought so many people and you’re still afraid of me?”
Seeing Bai Cai’s reaction, Lin Ran couldn’t help but laugh.
This guy had brought almost a dozen people with him this time, and they all looked like they should be villagers from Bai Gou Village, there was no way Bai Gou Village was several times bigger than Lin Jiawan, so he didn’t have an advantage in numbers originally, so it was no wonder that they were so aggressive.
