She looked at everyone with sincere eyes, "Many people in town know what kind of person I, Lin Xiuer, used to be."

"But I am truly grateful for everyone's strong support in helping me through this difficult time."

She took a slight breath. "Everyone was there because of one sentence I said, an idea that might have sounded quite unrealistic, or even a bit ridiculous at the time."

"They were willing to risk their lives with me to deal with those bastards from the Black Fish Gang. I, Lin Xiuer, will remember this kindness and trust today."

She met their gazes one by one without flinching: "There's still a long road ahead. If there's anything you can do to help me..."

"Whether it's physical labor or anything else, as long as it's within my power, just ask. I, Lin Xiuer, will do my utmost."

She spoke with utmost sincerity, without flowery language, but from the bottom of her heart, carrying a heavy weight of sincerity and meaning.

The flickering oil lamp on the table reflected on her face, and in her eyes was genuine gratitude.

After drinking half a bowl of ginger soup, the group not only dispelled the chill but also gradually calmed and warmed up after being soaked in the rain.

Hearing Lin Xiuer's heartfelt words of gratitude, and recalling the meticulous arrangements and terrifying moments in the deserted garden last night,

A white shadow flickers, ghostly fires blaze, chains rattle, a beauty transforms into a vengeful ghost, and Yama, the King of Hell, judges the guilty souls.

Although he had created the horror himself, seeing the usually domineering Black Fish Gang members terrified, crying and screaming, making a complete fool of themselves...

The thrill and exhilaration of being there, manipulating villains, still makes your heart race.

Except for the sudden downpour at the end, which made things a bit chaotic and rushed, and the rescue of Liu Er in the rain.

Overall, last night's operation was incredibly exciting! So much fun! And so satisfying!

Hu Yidao put down his bowl, wiped his mouth, and chuckled, "No need for thanks, little sister. You're being too polite. Those bastards should have been dealt with long ago. We're doing this on behalf of Heaven!"

"They take advantage of their numbers to bully and harass people in the market. They extort money from me. I've wanted to teach them a lesson for a long time, but I've never been able to."

"Today, being able to team up with you and scare them so badly they wet their pants, I feel incredibly happy!"

Liu Sanzhen nodded in agreement: "Exactly! Besides, what a brilliant idea you have! It'll scare them out without bloodshed! Much better than a real fight!"

"Seeing them so scared they ran away like their tails between their legs, I feel so relieved, haha!"

Wu Liangcai couldn't help but chuckle as he recalled how he had impersonated a headless ghost, and how Monkey Three and the others had fainted again after just one glance at him. He felt he hadn't had enough fun yet.

"Sister Lin! I only learned today that you don't necessarily have to use knives, guns, or fists to scare people."

"The most important thing is this." He pointed to his head, then chuckled twice. "Of course, I don't have it, but Sister Lin you do, so we're willing to follow your arrangements."

"If there are any more fun... uh, chivalrous deeds like this in the future, remember to call me!"

Chen Mingxuan quickly nodded, "Yes, yes, Xiuer! And me too... I'll be there whenever you call!"

For him, last night's events were more like a novel and exciting adventure game.

Although he was a little reluctant when he first started playing the female ghost, the effect was remarkable. The only drawback was that those people were too easily frightened, leaving him feeling like he hadn't had enough.

Liu Ruyan also raised her eyes and smiled slightly at Lin Xiuer and the others, "Sister Lin, you flatter me. You are clever and courageous."

"It may seem like a game, but in reality, every step is aimed at people's weaknesses. Without firing a single shot, it makes a few people who are used to running rampant taste the retribution for their evil deeds in this world."

"Moreover, everyone here is a person who values ​​loyalty and righteousness. I feel very honored to be able to get to know you all, become friends with you, and participate in such an action together."

Although Ping An didn't say anything, the look in his eyes as he looked at Lin Xiuer said it all.

They are husband and wife, so naturally he puts her first in everything.

Lin Xiuer looked at the group of people in front of her.

Hu Yidao's straightforwardness, Liu Sanzhen's excitement, Chen Mingxuan and Wu Liangcai's lingering eagerness, Liu Ruyan's quiet smile, and the silent support and companionship of Ping An by her side.

The bittersweet warmth in my heart grew even stronger.

She knew that saying those polite words of thanks would only make things seem distant and would betray the friendship forged in the rainy night.

He took a deep breath, his tone becoming even more solemn.

"Alright, in that case, it would be pretentious of me to say thank you again. It rained heavily today, and everyone was exhausted after a long night. It's dawn now."

"I think we should all go back first, get a good night's sleep, and rest. Tomorrow, I'll cook a nice meal and treat everyone to a meal."

"It's kind of... well, a celebration for our success!"

She paused deliberately, and sure enough, she saw Hu Yidao and Wu Liangcai's eyes light up immediately, and even Chen Mingxuan raised his head.

"Today's rain was quite heavy; tomorrow the mushrooms on the mountain will definitely be plump and fresh, sprouting up in clusters."

As Lin Xiuer described it, it was as if the fresh fragrance of the mountains and fields had already reached her nose.

"Freshly picked mushrooms are stir-fried with pork belly. The mushrooms soak up the meat juices, making them incredibly fresh and fragrant. Mixed with rice, you could easily eat three big bowls!"

"Stir-fried mushrooms with pork!"

Hu Yidao answered almost immediately, his Adam's apple bobbing as if he had already tasted the flavor.

The fatigue on her face vanished, replaced by a longing for delicious food. "This is good! This is good! Sister, you've got to keep your word!"

Wu Liangcai instantly perked up. Although he was tired last night, he was more excited and thrilled.

Hearing about delicious food immediately whetted my appetite.

"Sister Lin! I want to eat mushroom stir-fry with meat! And I want your jianbing guozi!"

Chen Mingxuan's peach blossom eyes sparkled, clearly showing that he was more interested in the mushroom picking activity itself.

"Mushroom picking? Xiuer, you're going mushroom picking in the mountains tomorrow?" His tone was full of curiosity. "Take me with you!"

"I've never picked mushrooms by hand before! It sounds so interesting! Also, this time I'm going to catch lots of little river crabs."

He still remembered the time he caught small river crabs and felt that going up the mountain to pick and catch fresh ingredients was the most fun and interesting thing in the wild.

Upon hearing this, Wu Liangcai's eyes immediately lit up: "Yes, yes, yes! Sister Lin, take us with you! We'll pick together! We'll definitely pick a lot and a good amount!"

He imagined himself carrying a bamboo basket, searching for plump mushrooms in the mountains and forests, and then turning them into delicious dishes...

Hiking can help you lose weight and exercise, which is a win-win situation. It's much more interesting than staying at home.

Liu Sanzhen chuckled and said, "Sure, it's been a long time since I've been to the mountains. I'll go with you tomorrow to join the fun and pick up some mountain produce."

Liu Ruyan smiled gently, but there was a hint of expectation in her eyes. She said softly, "If it's convenient, I'd like to go and take a look. The mountain forest must be serene and beautiful after the rain."

She spends most of her time in teahouses and has little exposure to the natural beauty of mountains and forests.
