Can't a girl be a traitor like Cao Cao?

As the mountain breeze blew, Chi Junlin slightly opened his eyes, then looked down ahead.

Then he saw Xiaolan walking briskly towards him through the fields.

However, she seemed slightly unhappy.

Behind her, a young man wearing a headscarf and with expectant eyes was speaking to her.

Chi Junlin knew that these men meant her no harm.

He pursued Xiaolan, who was in the prime of her youth, simply because of romantic feelings between a man and a woman.

In this simple and honest Tu ethnic village, both men and women are very bold.

If you like someone, you'll pursue them. Singing folk songs loudly, you want to win the heart of a young girl with your sincerity.

Xiao Lan, on the other hand, has fair skin, jet-black hair, and always exudes a charming, faint fragrance.

She possesses all the wonderful qualities a young girl should have.

And this beauty always attracted the heart of the young man who longed for her.

The boys didn't know what the girl wanted; they only hoped that their burning love would one day move her.

Even if they are met with rejection after rejection.

It's the same this time.

Even as the girl shook her head repeatedly and turned away with a disappointed expression, he did not stop.

However, when she turned her head and saw Chi Jun sitting upright on the stone platform, gazing into the distance against the wind, a joyful smile appeared on her face.

The girl quickly climbed up the earthen path and sat down next to Chi Junlin.

Chi Junlin stood facing the mountain wind, without turning around.

But I still casually asked, "Those young men, do they want to sing folk songs with you again?"

"Um……"

Xiaolan nodded somewhat dejectedly, then continued, "Grandma says I'm not young anymore and should find someone from the village to marry and settle down... but I don't like that."

"what do you like?"

"I like the wind, I like the water... I like the outside world... I want to... go out and see it..."

Chi Junlin remained silent.

Xiao Lan looked at her profile, her expression inexplicably filled with longing and anticipation.

She added, "There will be a festival tonight, with a bonfire by the pool. Would you like to go?"

"That sounds interesting. What holiday is it?"

"I don't know what festival it is, but it seems to be a celebration of the day when our ancestors moved to Taoyuan Mountain."

"Yes, I'll go."

"That's great! Now I have company!"

As she spoke, she affectionately hugged one of Chi Junlin's arms.

Seeing that Chi Junlin did not show any aversion, she gave a sweet smile and leaned her head to the side.

Later, after sunset.

Led by Xiao Lan, Chi Junlin came from the mountain path and headed towards the pool.

Along the way, the two met many villagers, who were in twos and threes and seemed to be there to participate in the bonfire festival.

Before long, the villagers of Taoyuan Village arrived at the pool, and someone lit a huge bonfire.

Illuminated by the firelight, it shot into the sky.

Suddenly someone shouted something, and a series of loud drumbeats rang out all around.

The villagers, their faces beaming with joy, held hands and formed a large circle around the bonfire, dancing a foot-kicking dance and singing cheerful, ancient songs.

Such an important and distinguished guest as Chi Junlin could not be left out. Before long, several village girls came over and invited Chi Junlin to join them in dancing a fun bonfire dance.

After Chi Junlin joined, he quickly integrated into the group.

Everyone clapped along, and their laughter echoed in the air, carrying far and wide.

After that, many people came and went in the industry, but the singing and drumming never stopped, and the dancing continued until late at night.

Many elderly people and children were tired, so after a few rounds of jumping, they came down and sat around the campfire chatting happily.

Seeing this, Chi Junlin also withdrew.

Then a child brought her rice wine.

She smiled and said thank you.

At this point, only young men and women remained in the campfire circle, all of them unmarried young people.

At this point, the young people's dance moves become particularly enthusiastic and unrestrained.

Chi Junlin saw this and roughly understood.

The bonfire dance has now evolved into a segment where young men and women express their love for each other.

At this time, young men would show off their dance skills and boldly confess their feelings to the girl they admired.

If the girl being confessed to agrees to the boy's love, she will step forward and respond with a song.

At this point, amidst the cheers of their peers, the boy and girl would hold hands and leave the campfire.

Go to the grassy area by the pond and whisper your love.

Chi Junlin also noticed that Xiao Lan, who came with him, was the most beautiful among all the girls.

Therefore, there are especially many girls who are jealous of her.

Their dance moves were particularly enthusiastic and unrestrained, but Xiaolan found them extremely annoying.

Unable to resist, he also left the campfire and sat down next to Chi Junlin.

And she became sullen.

The young man was unwilling to give up, but out of respect for Chi Junlin, this distinguished guest, he only stopped a few steps in front of her.

However, in the darkness, several bright eyes were staring intently at the girl.

It seems they won't stop until she chooses one of them.

Xiaolan naturally didn't want to choose.

But if they don't choose it, they won't simply give up.

So at that moment, she turned her helpless gaze to Chi Junlin.

He seemed to be hoping she could help him out of this predicament.

Chi Junlin found it somewhat amusing, but still wore a helpless expression and said, "How do you want me to help you?"

Xiaolan hesitated for a moment, then whispered, "You... just say that I still need to drink with you and can't go with them..."

Chi Junlin smiled, looked up at the boys, and said decisively, "You don't need to bother her anymore, she's already taken."

Upon hearing Chi Junlin's words, the teenagers all looked bewildered.

Because they simply couldn't understand what Red King was saying.

He could only look longingly at Xiaolan.

At this moment, Xiaolan's cheeks flushed red.

Because she not only understood Chi Junlin's literal meaning, but also the deeper meaning implied in his words.

She was a little shy, but she still mustered up her courage and told the boy what Chi Junlin meant.

The group of teenagers were slightly surprised to hear this.

He looked at the two of them with an expression of disbelief on his face.

Immediately afterwards, the boy in the lead frowned and whispered something to Xiaolan.

Xiao Lan was a little unhappy, but she held up her name tag and gave them a proud look.

After a brief exchange of words, Chi Junlin simply smiled and watched.

Then, Xiao Lan said to Chi Junlin, "They are not convinced and say they want to have a showdown with you."

"Did they say that?"

Chi Junlin smiled enigmatically.

"Ok!"

Xiao Lan gave a barely perceptible look of embarrassment, but still nodded.

"it is good."

Chi Junlin then smiled and said, "How shall we settle this?"

Arm wrestling!

Xiao Lan clenched her fist and said.

A little while later, near a large rock by the campfire, Chi Junlin and several other teenagers stood there with great interest.

Meanwhile, a group of villagers watched from the sidelines.

They seemed to have heard about what was happening here, and cast curious glances at Chi Junlin and Xiao Lan.

He seemed to be thinking about something.

Chi Junlin was not surprised by this result.

Arm wrestling is a local way for men to resolve disputes.

The population of the mountain village is precious, and the villagers are all related by marriage. If conflicts arise, this is the only way to demonstrate strength without harming each other.

Chi Junlin felt that this method of resolving the conflict was decisive and had no future troubles.

So at this moment, she rolled up her sleeves, revealing her slightly slender arms.

The surrounding villagers all thought that Chi Junlin would lose.

Because they simply couldn't imagine how a slender woman like Chi Junlin could possibly be a match for a group of strong and robust young men.

At this moment, an elderly man with white hair stepped forward and reprimanded the teenagers.

It seems they are being reprimanded for their foolishness.

The white-haired old man was very respectful to Chi Junlin. She remembered that this old man was the great-grandfather of the child she had set the bones of when he fell from the tree.

But the boys still looked somewhat unconvinced.

The old man bowed apologetically to Chi Junlin.

Chi Junlin quickly stepped forward to help him up.

It's nothing to suggest that the children are playing around.

He then walked to the stone platform and gestured to the young man.

Seeing this, the young man showed off his strong arms to Chi Junlin, as if trying to make Chi Junlin back down.

Chi Junlin, however, only found it amusing.

Then he placed one arm on the stone platform.

The young man looked somewhat helpless, seemingly not fond of bullying women.

But he still became serious when facing Chi Junlin.

With all my might, I placed one of my arms on the stone platform and gripped it tightly.

At that moment, Xiaolan placed her hand on their clenched fists and said with a smile, "Begin."
