"Haha, village chief, I was just talking casually. Just go home and eat. It's no big deal."

The villagers who were a little dissatisfied just now quickly expressed their opinions when they heard what the village chief said, fearing that the village chief would not choose them.

"Okay, now that we've finished talking, let's go if there's nothing else! I'll let you know once the spots are confirmed..."

As soon as the village chief finished speaking, he started to drive people away. He didn't want to see their flattering faces again!

After hearing this, no one dared to stay any longer and went home in groups of three or four.

“Xiaoxi, how can you be so bold! You dare to go to the mountains alone, and you almost got into trouble last time…” Mother Gu was still a little scared, wondering why this girl didn’t remember something!

"What happened last time when something almost happened?" Lin Jue grasped the key point!

"Yes! Are you hurt?" Gu Tingxiao asked with concern.

“Haha… I’ll tell you later…” Lin Xi secretly said, “Oh no! How could I have forgotten about these two people?”

"Xiao Jue, don't blame Xiao Xi too much, and don't do anything. As long as she is safe, let's talk it out nicely!"

When Mother Gu saw Lin Jue’s ugly expression, she realized that she had said something wrong and quickly spoke up for Lin Xi.

"Auntie, I know my limits..."

Lin Jue's heart tightened and he glanced at Chu Ran. Does he look like the kind of person who would attack someone casually?

Fortunately, Chu Ran didn't seem to be abnormal, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's good. As long as you don't do anything, it doesn't matter if you curse or something."

Although she knew very well that Lin Jue would not do anything, Gu's mother still wanted to speak for her.

"Old Five, when can you go home?" Mother Gu asked deliberately when she saw Lin Jue here.

Before Gu Tingxiao could say anything, Lin Jue decided for him, "There's nothing else to do right now, you can go home with your aunt first."

"No, I'd better stay with everyone and go back later."

Gu Tingxiao didn't want to be treated specially, and he didn't want to make things difficult for Lin Jue in the army.

"It's up to you..." Lin Jue didn't expect him to refuse, so he let him go.

Mother Gu, who was originally very happy, became unhappy when she heard Gu Tingxiao's answer. However, she came to terms with it when she thought that her son was now a soldier and it was impossible for him to be as free as before.

"Laowu, then come home for dinner after you're done with your work..." Mother Gu left reluctantly. There were a few more people having dinner tonight, so she had to go back and prepare more food.

The other members of the Gu family followed Gu's mother and left. Apart from the soldier, only the village chief and Lin Xi and a few others were left in the threshing ground.

"Village chief, please take us to the open space at the foot of the mountain so we can set up the tent!" Lin Jue turned his head and said to the village chief.

"Okay, okay, I'll take you there right away..." the village chief said and walked ahead.

"Take your luggage and tents and follow..." Lin Jue shouted at the soldier behind him.

So on the way to the foot of the mountain, the villagers who had not yet returned home could see a team marching in neat steps in an orderly manner. The scene was quite spectacular!

"Oh! I really envy their military uniforms. I want to be a soldier too. Those uniforms look so handsome and can attract the attention of many girls!"

"You are just bragging! You want to join the army with your chicken physique. Only someone would be blind to be interested in you."

Another person attacked him mercilessly, wondering if he was mentally ill and that his imagination was simply out of control!

"Can't I even talk about it? It doesn't cost anything to think about it."

The villager who was being talked about was unhappy, and the two of them started arguing with each other.

Lin Jue brought Gu Tingxiao and the others to the open space at the foot of the mountain. Just as the village chief said, the place was large enough to accommodate the fifty of them.

"Village chief, if you are busy, please go back first! Thank you very much for bringing us here." Lin Jue said his words of thanks sincerely.

"You're welcome, I'll be leaving now. Come find me if you need anything."

The village chief was also in a hurry to leave, as he had to go back to select the right person! If he didn't go back, he was afraid that his wife might accidentally accept the "gift" sent by others, which would be difficult to deal with.

What the village chief didn’t know was that what he was worried about was happening in his own home!

"Everyone listen, hurry up and try to set up the tent before dark, otherwise it will be troublesome if it rains. Do you hear me?" Lin Jue glanced at the dark clouds in the sky, his face full of worry.

"heard it…"

Fifty people answered in unison, and the sound was so loud that it startled the birds in the forest.

Lin Jue nodded in satisfaction, then walked to Lin Xi with his hands behind his back, "Come with me, I have something to ask you!"

Lin Xi followed with her head down, she knew this day would eventually come and it was pointless for her to hide, she might as well ask someone to intercede!

Yes! Why didn't I think of that! Or maybe Chu Ran could help her block it...

So Lin Xi looked at Chu Ran pitifully, "Ran Ran, you must help me this time..."

"How can I help you? I can't help you..." Chu Ran didn't know why Lin Xi said that. Was it her place to get involved in the affairs between them? Or not!

"As long as you come along, you are helping me. If you don't come, no one can help me."

Lin Xi didn't want to miss this opportunity and continued to pretend to be pitiful.

Chu Ran really didn't want to see her pitiful look, and for some reason he nodded and agreed.

Oh my god! She nodded!

Forget it, for the sake of her sister, even if Lin Jue wanted to attack, she could block it for Lin Xi. She would sacrifice herself. It would only be painful. She could bear it. She would definitely be able to do it. Chu Ran kept encouraging herself in her heart.

"Why did you come here with me?" Lin Jue stopped in a hidden corner, turned around and saw Chu Ran standing with Lin Xi.

"Who said I followed you? This place is not yours. I come here whenever I want." Chu Ran said stiffly, trying to make himself look more justified.

"Then I won't argue with you. You stay here. I can go to another place!" Lin Jue signaled Lin Xi to follow him with his eyes.

But what he didn't expect was that Chu Ran followed him wherever he went, which made it obvious that she was following him.

"Why do you always follow me?"

"I didn't follow you!"

How could Chu Ran admit it? He just pretended to be stupid!

Lin Jue saw Lin Xi trying to hold back her laughter and seemed to understand something. He didn't move and just stood there watching the two of them.

The three of them were in a stalemate for two or three minutes, and no one spoke first. In the end, Lin Jue gave in and asked first.

"Tell me! What is the matter that Aunt Gu mentioned?"

"Brother, it's nothing. You must have heard it wrong!" Lin Xi wanted to cheat.

"Hmm?" Lin Jue made Lin Xi surrender with just one look.

"I said okay!"

"This is what happened..." Lin Xi said a lot of true and false things. Of course, he didn't mention anything about those islanders. He just gave a general idea.
