The game's heroine has come true? The aloof school beauty is in tears.

[You Lian finally saved enough money.]

She finally gained a place in Daliushu Village.

She's had a very tough time lately, but it's all been worth it.

[When you've signed the contract and are standing together, embracing tightly.]

You turned and looked back at your grandfather, who was watching you from a short distance away.

At that moment, a strange feeling suddenly welled up inside you.

You don't know how to describe this feeling, because doing so would make you seem very unfilial.

The gist of it is: The old man has been hiding his true intentions quite well.

Because the old man clearly knew a lot of things.

Lu Yuan squatted by the river.

He's been coming here often lately, watching the clear river flow into the distance.

During this period, everything was completely following the predetermined plot.

He simply wanted to see what happened next.

Because he had already mastered the most basic path to victory: run to a corner where You Lian couldn't find him, and then lose his memory.

In this way, the illness will be cured, and there will be no sense of death leading to regression.

As he pondered this, Lu Yuan got up and began his journey back to the village. From that moment on, he would cease thinking.

Because he discovered that even with a higher level of game perspective, in this game world filled with memories, reminiscences, and fantasies...

He was starting to lose his sense of direction.

So he chose the deserted riverbank as his point of reflection.

Here, he is Lu Yuan playing a game.

His perspective should be that of a player.

His only goal was to pass the level.

The road back to the village was long, and the thought in my mind turned to "What dishes should I eat for lunch today?"

I must say, You Lian's cooking skills are quite good.

She even invited her neighbors to come over for a meal on the day of the move.

But no one came.

Because You Lian is the village beauty, this title is not based on her looks.

Despite being far more beautiful than the previous village beauty, she still managed to outshine her by a wide margin.

But she earned this title because she became the focus of discussion and attention in the village.

Because she was arrested here many years ago, and everyone saw it.

Although everyone had already learned from Grandpa Lu that the case had been overturned and the truth of the matter.

But the impact of this incident was still too great. It was so great that if Grandpa Lu hadn't risked his reputation, and if the owner of the house hadn't been in a hurry to move to Shanghai to take care of his grandson, the situation would have been much worse.

She might not even be able to buy a house here.

However, the villagers still had some complaints about You Lian, unable to pinpoint exactly what was wrong with her, but they just said she was bad.

These are all normal and unavoidable situations.

Most villagers' concerns are understandable, but ultimately some people's attention and discussion are not out of justice or concern.

"You Lian, come out here! Did you seduce our man?!"

A plump middle-aged woman crowded in front of You Lian's house, followed by a large group of villagers who came to watch the spectacle.

She cursed at You Lian while turning to explain to the villagers.

She said her husband didn't come home last night, insisting he drank too much and slept outside all night. When he came home this morning, she checked and found 500 yuan in cash missing from his pocket, but he said he didn't know where he spent it.

The middle-aged woman's unspoken meaning was quite clear.

She felt that her husband had stayed overnight at You Lian's house, and that the 500 yuan was payment for prostitution.

Such a vague and incomplete message left her unable to even articulate its actual connection to You Lian.

She immediately demanded that You Lian pay back the money, or else get out of the village.

Thus, an ambush surrounding You Lian was easily formed.

The fat woman is the spearhead, those who didn't support You Lian living in the village are the core, and those who just watch the spectacle are the periphery.

The fat woman said she had to get her five hundred yuan back, or she should get out of the village.

The core members shouted in agreement.

The onlookers remained silent.

You Lian stood awkwardly at the door. She was a person with experience in the martial arts world and knew how to handle this kind of situation.

She should have been more aggressive in her confrontation.

But you have to make choices in these kinds of things.

If she wants to stay in the village for a long time, she can't act too fiercely.

Because in such a small settlement, survival depends not on justice, but on the consensus of the villagers.

She has to act like a lamb, easy to bully, in order to actually stay.

However, this period of patience will be very long...

However, she can be like a little lamb, and even spend five hundred yuan to buy some peace and quiet.

But she couldn't accept it.

She was unjustly labeled a promiscuous woman.

She needs to clarify this matter.

But she couldn't speak.

Faced with such a noisy scene, no one would read what she wrote.

She could only stand there, leaning against the wall.

When they've had their fill of cursing themselves and are tired of it all.

Only then can they offer explanations that others might not believe.

This is the limit of what she can do.

"Tell me, where is the five hundred yuan?"

Suddenly a sentence came out, and at first glance, it sounded like the fat woman was speaking, but upon closer listening, it wasn't.

Because it's a man's voice.

At the far back of the crowd, Lu Yuan dragged a man in.

He is the husband of the fat woman.

He dragged the man in, and the fact that he could use dragging as a means of doing so proves that the two had already had some physical altercation.

"Tell me, where did you spend the five hundred yuan?"

"I..."

This man looks honest and unassuming; you wouldn't get a word out of him even if you hit him three times.

But Lu Yuan knew him too well.

This honest person is colorless and odorless, but highly poisonous.

"Disgusting people have some skills."

This couple is complete scoundrels. The man must have been sleeping peacefully at home last night and didn't spend a single penny.

That five hundred yuan, at most...

"Tell me, if my sister accepted this five hundred yuan, I'll give it to you; if not..."

"What can you do about it? At most, we'll just say we misremembered. Are you going to call the police?"

The fat woman stepped forward; she had quite a temper.

"I can't call the police, but I can burn your house down."

"You dare?"

"Do you remember how I ended up in the hospital?" Lu Yuan said with a chuckle, "I was too lenient back then. You were acting like a child pretending to be a ghost. I should have just burned your house down."

"you...."

"If you don't give me five hundred yuan now, I'll burn your house down tonight. This is protection money for your house." Lu Yuan shook his head and said, "You'd better not close your eyes tonight."

"Aren't you afraid I'll call the police?"

"Calling the police will only get me into a mental hospital. I'll come out the same way I went in. By the time your new house is built, I'll set it on fire."

Lu Yuan turned and shouted into the crowd:

"I am Lu Yuan, born and raised in this village. This is my home. If you tell us to get out, you are telling me to get out of my home. In that case, I will burn down your house and let you taste what it's like to lose your home."

He turned his head away.

Lu Yuan took the five hundred yuan the fat woman handed him, twirled it in his hand a couple of times, and then stuffed it into the man's hand.

"Go ahead, take this five hundred and find a woman to spend the night with and enjoy yourself."

The man, unaware of the situation, instinctively returned the money to his wife.

Lu Yuan laughed, clapping his hands and saying:

"What do you mean? Is your wife a prostitute?"
