Chapter 101: Chapter 101 Disappear into the Night_1

"I was dealing with a few wolves for a while, which is why I got back late," Yege said.

"Are you alright?"

"I’m fine."

"Did you fight the wolves?"

"It was a she-wolf and her cubs, I did not fight them."

This is the hunters’ code - don’t attack wolf cubs that are still nursing, don’t attack the she-wolves that are feeding them.

Nan Feng was about to ask Yege what he had been busy with lately, but Yege spoke again, "I heard you were looking for me?"

"Yes," Nan Feng felt as cold as the moonlight tonight next to Yege.

However, she still conveyed the village chief’s message to Yege, "The village chief hopes that both of us can help him turn the sunset mountain into a reservoir."

Yege’s expression seemed to hesitate for a moment, "Build a reservoir?"

"Yes, I don’t know what got into the village chief. Yesterday, when I came back from town, I happened to meet his mule cart, so I hitched a ride with him. He told me about it on the cart. He said the town is pushing hard, he probably feels cornered. I originally planned to ignore it, thinking he was joking yesterday, but who knew that he came to find me in the vegetable field this morning."

"So he sent you to find me?"

"Right, me, you, and his son Mo Wenxuan, us as his assistants."

Yege thought of meeting Nan Feng at the village entrance last night, and saw her chatting happily with the village chief. So, they were talking about this.

Seeing Yege suddenly fall silent again, Nan Feng said, "I know you don’t want to take this job, and I don’t want to either. How about this, I’ll turn it down for you at the village chief’s place tomorrow."

She did not want to drag Yege into this.

Unexpectedly, Yege spoke again, "Building a reservoir is beneficial for the people. Once completed, it can raise our village’s rice yield. Why not do it?"

Besides, if he doesn’t take it, wouldn’t Nan Feng be stuck with Mo Wenxuan every day?

Nan Feng added, "But I feel like the village chief has a lot of schemes, I’m afraid that if we can’t complete the task on time, he’ll blame us."

"Don’t worry, we can’t take on much responsibility, at most we’ll be scapegoats, we won’t be jailed or beheaded," Yege still spoke in a calm tone.

"Well, then...it can’t be helped. If you get involved, I’ll feel a little better. Anyway, whatever happens, you’ll be there to take the fall, " Nan Feng lightened the mood with a joke.

But it was also the truth.

Yege looked at Nan Feng, "First agree to it, we’ll tackle as we go."

"Okay."

"It’s late, you should rest. We will go to the village chief’s house together tomorrow."

"Okay, then... see you!"

Yege didn’t move, only quietly instructing her, "Go back to your room."

He wanted to see her back inside.

Nan Feng went back to her room, and not until she had closed the door did Yege turn to leave.

Nan Feng peered through the crack in the door, watching Yege’s retreating figure.

Until the tall figure gradually disappeared into the night.

...

...

The next day, Yege was the first to seek out Nan Feng.

They had agreed to go together to the village chief’s house to discuss the reservoir matter.

Seeing Nan Feng and Yege arrive together, the village chief was overjoyed, immediately invited them into his home, and even brought out candies and Dim Sum for them to eat.

Because the village chief’s house was busy, he even shooed away all the gossipy women and children to ensure tranquility.

Then the village chief shouted upstairs, "Xuan, hurry down."

Soon after, Mo Wenxuan also came down.

The exams were over, so he didn’t need to attend the private school anymore and was waiting for the exam results.

Mo Wenxuan seemed to have tenaciously made an effort with his appearance today. He was wearing a robe, with blue threads in his hair, looking more and more like a scholar in his attire and demeanor.

However, seeing Nan Feng and Yege, there was still a trace of contempt in Mo Wenxuan’s gaze.
