Little Twelve touched his head and continued to follow Lin Yuelan.
At the village entrance, Lin Dawei was coming back from his latest hunting trip with his 14-year-old son, Lin Jiawei.
“Lan ‘Er, are you going to town today?” As soon as Lin Dawei saw Lin Yuelan, he shouted loudly.
Lin Yuelan’s cold expression softened when she saw Lin Dawei. She nodded and said, “yes, uncle Wei.” Then, she greeted Lin Jiawei, “brother Jiawei!”
Lin Jiawei was also a simple and honest young man. Although he wasn’t as strong as little twelve, he looked like Lin Dawei. His face was dark, and he was also rough around the edges.
He smiled and greeted Lin Yuelan, “Sister Lan, we’re going to town too. We can keep each other company.”
Then, he looked at the man behind Lin Yuelan with curiosity. ‘Why is there a strange man following Lin Yuelan? She’s known as the village jinx. No one in the village is willing to approach her.’
Of course, Lin Dawei also noticed little twelve.
He smiled and asked, “Lan ‘Er, who is this young man?”
Since they didn’t know him, he definitely wasn’t from the village. However, he also heard that the girl had brought five tall and strange men into the village yesterday evening. The village chief announced to everyone that the few men were allowed to stay temporarily in the Lin Family Village. However, he didn’t provide a reason. All he said was that these five people would never do anything to harm the Lin family Village or the villagers.
Lin Dawei trusted the village chief.
Lin Yuelan replied, “Uncle Dawei, he’s one of the children I saved from the mountain. He’s homeless now, so I took him in!”
Lin Dawei chuckled, “You’re not much more than a kid yourself. How can you call him a child?”
After that, Lin Dawei no longer commented about the five men. He believed that Lin Yuelan knew what she was doing.
The small group chatted happily as they moved to town.
In particular, because little twelve and Lin Jiawei were similar in age and personality, the two soon became friends.
Lin Yuelan and Lin Dawei went their separate ways when they arrived at the town.
Lin Dawei went to the food shops, while Lin Yuelan went to purchase cloth.
Even though this was only Lin Yuelan’s third time in town, she had left a deep impression when she came the first time with the tiger. Many people were both curious and puzzled about her.
Therefore, when Lin Yuelan came to town for the second time, regardless of whether she knew them or not, some people went up to her and greeted her warmly, “Miss tiger fighter, you’re back! Why did you come empty-handed this time?” Lin Yuelan only nodded with a cold face. She knew that the friendliness wouldn’t last.
Now, for this third time…
Little twelve looked at the crowd pointing at them. They were acting like the villagers. This made him even more confused.
He touched the back of his head again, his eyes full of doubt. “Miss Lin, do I really look that scary? Why are they looking at me with such strange eyes?”
‘They aren’t looking at you. They are looking at me.’ Lin Yuelan chuckled mirthlessly and said, “little twelve, listen carefully. What are they saying?”
In any case, the fact that she was his nemesis could not be hidden, and there was no need to hide it.
Her philosophy was the same. As long as these people didn’t provoke, she didn’t care about the gossip.
Since Little Twelve was Jiang Zhennan’s subordinate at his young age, he must be quite skilled. Otherwise, how could he protect Jiang Zhennan when the enemy came over? They were Jiang Zhennan’s personal guards.
Little twelve used some internal energy and perked up his ears.
In a moment, the gossip reached his ears.
Two chubby middle-aged women standing by a vegetable stall pointed in Lin Yuelan’s direction and said, “I heard that the girl who came to sell the tiger last time is actually Lin Family Village’s famous jinx. Whoever that gets close to her will be in trouble.”
