Quick Wear: Saving the Sickly and Paranoid Villain

"Well, the village chief is very nice and welcoming to us."

The man blew out a puff of smoke and said, "I agree to this. Come find me here tomorrow. By the way, you need to pay a deposit first."

"Sure." The young man was very quick and efficient. He took out the wallet from his pocket and counted the bills one by one. The gaze on the other side was burning. He paused and finally gave all the money to the man.

There is not much money in the wallet. Most of the boy's money is in the card, and some of it is in the hands of the housekeeper. The housekeeper pays for everything he buys when traveling.

The man threw the unfinished cigarette on the ground, spat and began to count the money. There was a total of 1,200 yuan, which was what he could earn in two or three months.

He grinned and forced a smile: "Tomorrow I will take you to have a good look around our village. There are still many good places in our village."

His attitude now is totally different from before.

Lu Qingheng calmed down: "Uncle, may I ask if the little girl I saw yesterday is here?"

The smile on the man's face disappeared in an instant: "Why are you asking her? Do you know her?"

"I can't say I know her. I've just seen her and I'm a little curious."

"Oh," the man's hostility disappeared after hearing this answer, "She, she is my daughter."

Lu Qingheng tightened his grip instantly, his face still calm: "Is that so? Is she home now? Ask her to play with us."

"She's not here. She's gone to work."

"I think she's quite young. Does such a young child have to work?"

The man looked at Lu Qingheng silently and said, "We country kids are no different from you city people."

"Oh, that's not easy."

The man hummed, and put his hand on the door as if to close it: "That's it for today, you and your family come here to find me tomorrow."

"Wait," Lu Qingheng asked with curiosity in his eyes, "Where is she working? I've never seen her doing farm work. Can I go and see?"

The man didn't say anything, but looked at him with narrowed eyes.

Lu Qingheng hurriedly said: "I can add money!"

The man closed the door and walked out: "Okay, I'll take you to find her."

"That's great." Lu Qingheng looked grateful.

The man in long boots walked in front and sneered, "You rich people are so bored that you actually spend money to watch us do farm work. You really have too much money to spend."

Lu Qingheng didn't react, but looked around anxiously. He was really worried about her.

After circling around in the mountains for a while, the man finally slowed down.

Lu Qingheng saw a girl not far away carrying a backpack that was bigger than her. The basket was full of firewood. The girl gritted her teeth and tried to stand up straight, with such force that her expression looked a little hideous.

The thin little girl forms a sharp contrast with the big backpack.

Lu Qingheng's heart seemed to be hit hard, and the dull pain was severe. He ignored the gaze of the man next to him and ran quickly to the girl.

"Don't carry it anymore," Lu Qingheng felt particularly sad when he said this, "Put it down, I'll help you carry it." After saying this, he was about to reach out to take the backpack.

The little girl glanced at him, then looked at the man standing not far away, and dodged to the side.

Lu Qingheng was shocked: "Why? Wouldn't it be better if I helped you? You are working too hard."

A little girl of this age should be pampered, but she is doing things that are far beyond her body's ability to endure.

"Can I help you?" Lu Qingheng lowered his voice. "I have never done farm work before. Can you give me a chance to experience it?"

The little girl didn't look at him, but walked forward with the firewood on her back, her eyes fixed straight ahead.

As they got closer, Lu Qingheng could even clearly see the bulging veins on the little girl's neck and her trembling legs...

How much pain must such a small body have endured? Lu Qingheng's eyes suddenly turned red, and he lowered his head slightly to hide his expression. Ever since he could remember, he had been living a life of luxury and had never experienced hardship, let alone such hardship.

He chased after her, followed behind the little girl and lifted up the backpack, hoping to reduce the weight she was bearing.

"Get out!" The little girl dodged sideways, her voice low and hoarse, her face fierce.

Lu Qingheng felt distressed and anxious: "I have no ill intentions, I..."

The little girl turned her head away, looking as if she didn't want to pay attention to him.

Lu Qingheng stood there blankly. He was really sad and didn't know what to do.

The man who was watching from afar sneered and walked over. He looked at the little girl and said, "Girl, what did I teach you? How can you be so rude?"

The little girl turned her head expressionlessly and said to Lu Qingheng, "I'm sorry."

"You...you don't have to apologize, you didn't do anything wrong, it's my fault." Lu Qingheng saw her shaking hands and the sweat on her temples.

The little girl turned to look at the man, the man nodded at her, and the little girl continued to walk forward step by step.

"Aren't you her father? How could you let her carry such a heavy thing by herself? You didn't even help her! How could there be a person like you?!" Seeing the little girl struggling more and more, Lu Qingheng became anxious.

The man looked at him with a very strange look, and finally he said to the little girl: "Girl, put down the backpack, I will carry it."

The little girl had a questioning look in her eyes and the man nodded.

The little girl then half-sat on a big rock and slowly put down the backpack on her back. Seeing this, Lu Qingheng hurried over to help, and this time the little girl did not avoid him.

The man narrowed his eyes slightly, staring calmly and deeply at the scene happening in front of him, as if he wanted to take in all the details.
