Beast Tamer: Start from SSS Talent

Chapter 312 Return to the Village

Lin Fan saw this and didn't say much, and drove the car straight out of the town.

"Brother Fan, if we go back like this, the villagers will definitely scold me. Can you drop me off on the side of the road and let me get off and walk back by myself?" Liu Wanqi looked at Lin Fan and asked.

"Are you sure you want to get off here? There's no one around here." Lin Fan said.

"Uh..." Liu Wanqi was speechless.

Lin Fan shrugged his shoulders and said, "Since you don't want to, let's just go. I don't have anything urgent anyway."

"Brother Fan, thank you." Liu Wanqi said with her head down, her beautiful eyes flickering constantly, and it was unclear what she was thinking.

"Hehe, it's just a piece of cake." Lin Fan grinned and said.

Liu Wanqi opened her cherry lips and said, "By the way, Brother Fan, it's fate that we met. Why don't you leave me your contact information? If you encounter difficulties and need help in the future, I can help you."

"Uh... no need." Lin Fan waved his hand and said, "I don't need to trouble others for anything."

"But... I'm still worried about you." Liu Wanqi said.

Lin Fan curled his lips and said, "It's okay, I'm lucky."

"..." Liu Wanqi was speechless.

Lin Fan looked at Liu Wanqi's silence, so he took the initiative to say, "Sister, you see, we both know each other, you have saved my life, and we can be regarded as sharing weal and woe. You have to tell me your name, so that if you encounter danger in the future, we can take care of each other!"

Liu Wanqi hesitated for a while and said, "Okay, then I'll tell you, but you must not leak it out, understand?"

"Don't worry, I promise to keep it to myself." Lin Fan said solemnly.

"My name is Liu Wanqi, and I'm from Qingyun County." Liu Wanqi introduced.

"So you're from Qingyun County. I heard that Qingyun County is very chaotic." Lin Fan said with a smile.

"Yeah." Liu Wanqi nodded: "It's quite chaotic, but it's chaotic, but the overall order is still pretty good."

"Hehe..." Lin Fan touched his nose awkwardly, muttering in his heart, my brother was a very successful person in Qingyun County back then. If it was really a place with good order, how could I be so miserable?

"Huh?" At this moment, Lin Fan shouted in surprise.

"Brother Fan, what's wrong?" Liu Wanqi looked at Lin Fan in confusion and asked.

"What is this?"

At this moment, a jade pendant fell from Liu Wanqi's body.

The jade pendant was crystal clear, exuding a faint sense of warmth, shining under the sunlight, and looked quite mysterious.

"Ah? Isn't this what you dropped on the road?" Liu Wanqi looked at Lin Fan and asked.

"I dropped it on the road?" After thinking carefully for a while, Lin Fan suddenly had an idea and said, "Sister, you didn't pick up something I lost, so you fainted in the woods?"

Liu Wanqi was stunned for a moment, then gently pursed her lips, neither admitting nor denying.

Lin Fan immediately picked up the jade pendant and said, "I like this jade pendant very much. You keep it first. I will give it to you another day when I find a suitable gift. What do you think?"

Lin Fan stuffed the jade pendant into Liu Wanqi's arms and said, "I will take you home first. I have to do something after that. I will find a chance to give you the jade pendant after I finish it."

As he spoke, Lin Fan stepped on the accelerator and sped up.

Liu Wanqi smelled the faint fragrance left in the air, glanced at the jade pendant, and looked up at Lin Fan who was concentrating on driving, and a ripple appeared in her heart.

Although she had never been in love, she had lived in the mountain village for a long time. She had been influenced by the environment and had vaguely understood some things, but she had never dared to explore them in depth.

Now, Lin Fan took the initiative to bring it up, and Liu Wanqi suddenly felt her heartbeat speed up and was a little flustered.

But she soon calmed down.

Lin Fan was a stranger, and she had never met him before. She should draw a clear line between them.

Thinking of this, Liu Wanqi shook her head secretly.

Then, she turned around, leaned back in the chair, and closed her eyes.

…

Five or six minutes later.

"Crack--"

The car stopped steadily in front of a deserted and dilapidated house.

Most of the houses were brick and tile structures, but a few were wooden structures, which looked extremely simple and old.

This was Liu Wanqi's home.

"Sister, we're here." Lin Fan turned his head and shouted at Liu Wanqi.

Liu Wanqi opened her beautiful eyes, looked at the row of simple adobe houses outside the window, and said softly: "Brother Fan, thank you so much, you send me home, just leave quickly."

Liu Wanqi didn't want to delay Lin Fan's work because of herself.

Lin Fan smiled slightly, pointed to a tricycle next to him, and said: "You're welcome, I can ride this, you can ride mine."

"Well, okay then." Liu Wanqi didn't pretend, nodded gently, and then prepared to reach out to hold the footrest of the car, but she forgot that she was sore and weak now, and she couldn't use any strength at all. Her whole body suddenly leaned forward and was about to fall to the ground.

"Ouch..." Liu Wanqi couldn't help but cry out softly.

"Be careful, don't be stubborn." Seeing this, Lin Fan quickly stretched out his right hand and grabbed Liu Wanqi's left arm.

"Swish!"

Liu Wanqi's pretty face turned red and her body trembled violently when Lin Fan grabbed her arm so suddenly.

Lin Fan was bewildered.

"Ahem!"

"I'm sorry."

The two of them almost let go of their arms at the same time.

"I, I'll go by myself." Liu Wanqi said while biting her teeth.

"Okay." Lin Fan did not insist.

Liu Wanqi pushed open the door and got out of the car. After stumbling for a while, she barely stood up.

She bent down and supported her knees for a few seconds before slowly walking towards the yard.

The yard was overgrown with weeds and weeds growing everywhere.

The walls and roofs were mottled.

A gust of wind blew, and weeds flew.

"Alas..." Lin Fan sighed.

Qingyun County used to be so prosperous, but now it has fallen to this point. The changes are too great.

Just as Lin Fan was about to leave, he caught a glimpse of a crooked poplar tree nearby. His eyes suddenly lit up, and his mind raced. A plan came to his mind.

Without saying anything, Lin Fan ran directly under the tree, then squatted down and pulled apart the surrounding grass.

"Shua!"

A black plaque was revealed.

On it were written the three characters "Lijia Village".

"Hehe..." Lin Fan rubbed his hands with a smile, then took off the plaque, carried it on his shoulder and walked away.

"Hey! Brother Fan, what are you doing?" Liu Wanqi hurriedly caught up with him and asked in surprise.

Lin Fan said, "Don't you have a plaque at home? I'll help you fix it."

Liu Wanqi said quickly, "Brother Fan, you don't understand. My parents are dead. This plaque was passed down to me by my grandfather. When he was dying, he said that it can't be sold unless I can get into college or I get married."

"Uh..." Lin Fan scratched his head and said, "Okay then."

Liu Wanqi continued, "Brother Fan, you gave me such a valuable gift today. I don't know how to repay you. It's useless for me to keep this plaque. Why don't you take it with you? If you need it one day, you can come to me with it."

"Uh...Okay." Lin Fan finally agreed.

When Liu Wanqi saw that Lin Fan agreed, she felt an inexplicable excitement and excitement in her heart.

Liu Wanqi handed the plaque to Lin Fan and said softly, "Brother Fan, we'll leave first. See you again in the future."

"Okay, then we'll say goodbye here and see you later." Lin Fan waved his hand and said.

"Yeah." Liu Wanqi nodded heavily.

Then the two waved to each other and went their separate ways.

After Liu Wanqi walked into her room, she gently closed the door, then sat on the bed, lowered her head, looked at her slender calves and fair skin, and felt warm in her heart.

"Brother Fan, thank you, I owe you one." Liu Wanqi murmured.

Then she looked at the calendar again, and her eyes were a little wet.

"Xiaoling, are you still alive now? I..." Liu Wanqi glanced at her watch. It was more than half an hour before ten o'clock in the morning. According to the regulations, Xiaoling should have called to urge herself.

Is there any trouble?

"Ring ring ring..."

Suddenly, the mobile phone on the table rang.

"Ring ring ring!"

The ringing of the mobile phone vibrated again and again, making Liu Wanqi a little irritated.

Liu Wanqi hesitated for a long time before picking up the phone and putting it to her ear and answering it.

"Qiqi, why haven't you come back yet? My mom and I have been waiting for you for so long that all the flowers have withered." A girl's soft and slightly hoarse voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Sorry, there is a traffic jam on the road. I will be back soon." Liu Wanqi said softly.

"Yeah, hurry up, we will wait for you for dinner." After the girl finished speaking, she hung up the phone.

Liu Wanqi was stunned holding the phone.

"Xiaoling... Who are you?"

Liu Wanqi fell into silence.

"Beep beep beep..."

"Hello? Hello?"

"Why did you hang up?"

Liu Wanqi dialed the number seven or eight times in a row, but there was still no response. She could only smile bitterly helplessly.

Forget it.

Liu Wanqi didn't want to pester her anymore.

Since she didn't want to reveal her identity, she pretended not to know her, so that's it.

Such a day is good.

Liu Wanqi sorted out her emotions, put on her shoes, and walked towards the village entrance with a basket on her shoulder.

...

On the other side

Lin Fan carried the plaque back to his rented house.

"Huff! Huff!"

Lin Fan panted, exhausted.

The plaque weighed about 100 jin, and although it was easy for Lin Fan to carry it, it actually consumed a lot of physical strength, so his arms were a little sore and his chest was rising and falling violently.

After putting the plaque on the floor, Lin Fan wiped it and felt a little better.

Then he took out a pen and paper, wrote two lines of big characters on the paper, and glued it together.

"Lijia Village Li Family Mansion".

"Well, that's it. I'll find someone to renovate it tomorrow. It will definitely be different from the original."

Lin Fan patted his butt and lay down on the bed.

Soon, Lin Fan fell asleep.

In his dream, Lin Fan returned to the dilapidated thatched house.

"Master, I have something to ask you."

Lin Fan knelt on the ground and pleaded with an old man.

This old man was Lin Fan’s master, the head of the Wudang Sect—Lin Haiyang.

But now Lin Haiyang is so old that his hair and beard are all white. He is hunched over, and his thin and withered body seems like he could collapse at any time. His face is even more shriveled, skinny, and his eyes are filled with turbid tears, as if he will cry at any time.

And Lin Haiyang's attitude towards Lin Fan is even colder, as if he will never be enthusiastic.

"Master... please."

Lin Fan begged.

But Lin Haiyang was indifferent.

Finally, Lin Fan could only get up dejectedly.

"Pah~Pah~"

The footsteps gradually faded away.

Lin Haiyang raised his head and looked at the direction where Lin Fan left, with a complicated look.

After a long time, Lin Haiyang closed his eyes.

Turbid tears flowed from the corners of his mouth, and he was extremely sad.

"Why?"

...

The next morning, Lin Fan opened his eyes and woke up.

"Huh~ So comfortable!" Lin Fan stretched his arms, twisted his waist, burped and said.

Lin Fan's stomach kept calling, and he felt hungry.

He simply washed up, then went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.

Lin Fan's cooking skills are actually very good.

But because he had no money to buy ingredients these days, Lin Fan could only drink porridge every day. The steamed bun he ate last night was really not very good, which made Lin Fan have no appetite at all.

Lin Fan stood in the kitchen, and the scene of learning to cook emerged in his mind, and he couldn't help but sigh.

Once, he was a man called the God of Cooking.

But Lin Fan quickly shook his head and shook off his thoughts.

"Don't think about it." Lin Fan said.

"Ding Dong Ding Dong!"

At this time, there was a knock on the door outside.

Lin Fan frowned and walked out.

I saw a young man in his twenties standing at the door.

The young man looked quite handsome, wearing black trousers and a white shirt, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on his nose, and he looked very gentle.

"Do you have anything to do?" Lin Fan asked.

"Oh, you are Lin Fan, right?" The young man looked at Lin Fan and said.

After hearing what the young man said, Lin Fan instantly became alert. He stared at the young man and said quickly: "I am Lin Fan, may I ask who you are?"

"I am Liu Zhipeng, my father's friend introduced me to give you something, here, this is the key." Liu Zhipeng said.

He had a faint smile on his face, and his manners were very gentlemanly, giving people a very elegant feeling.

"Oh, hello, please come in." Lin Fan welcomed Liu Zhipeng in.

On the coffee table in the living room, there was a thick stack of red bills.

A total of 4,988 yuan, not a lot, but definitely not a lot.

"Uncle and aunt knew I was coming, so they asked me to give you 10,000 yuan." Liu Zhipeng pointed to the red bills and said.

"Uh... I can't take this money." Lin Fan hurriedly refused.

Although Lin Fan is rich now, he also knows that this money is not so easy to come by. After all, this money was raised by Lin Haoran with great effort.

"Hehe, Brother Lin, this is the kindness of uncle and aunt, just accept it." Liu Zhipeng said: "I will leave first today."

"Okay." Lin Fan did not stay for long.
