Country Beauty No. 789, Main Text No. 789 – Chapter 789: She Hit the Power Pole
After hearing Lu Yun explain this, Hua Zi’s face instantly changed, though fortunately Lu Yun had clarified things so thoroughly. The delicate, charming young woman practiced the Iron Palm technique, not some magical spell conjured by a mythical creature—this gave him some peace of mind.
"Little Yun, I saw your uncle and aunt pushing the cart out of the village earlier. What exactly happened at home?"
Hua Zi glanced at Tie Xinlan, then looked at Lu Yun’s soil gun in his hands, and somehow felt as though something significant was about to happen at the Lu family. Lu Yun smiled and said, “Not really anything special—just a few cats and dogs got a bit restless.” Hua Zi nodded, though silently murmured to himself: with the soil cannon usually used for hunting rabbits now in use, there seemed to be no real issue. Though he had a good relationship with Zhao La San, since Lu Yun wasn’t willing to elaborate, he didn’t press further. He simply chuckled and said, “Then, if there’s nothing urgent, I’ll head back. Just let me know if anything comes up—don’t be shy to reach out. I’ve got nothing to do in the fields these days.” Lu Yun’s eyes twinkled, and with a bashful smile, he said to Hua Zi, “Actually, I do have something I’d like to ask you for.” “This young man,” Hua Zi replied, “I don’t know what our relationship is, so just speak up whenever you need.” Seeing that Lu Yun still hesitated and couldn’t clearly explain, Hua Zi thought for a moment and added, “
"Lu Yun nodded eagerly, saying, "Uncle Hua, my son simply can't handle that job. If things go wrong, when my third uncle returns and asks about it, there'll surely be more conflicts with the Wang family. Most importantly, Iron Teacher will be staying at my place for a few days. Without a bathroom, we men can manage, but she's a woman—she'll find it quite difficult..." Lu Yun paused here, then smiled at Uncle Hua, who chuckled softly and said, "That's exactly the situation. This won't be hard at all—let me rebuild the wall."
Hua Zi followed Lu Yun into the restroom. When he saw the two large holes in the wall, he silently exclaimed, "My goodness!"—two solid brick walls, and yet he'd managed to create such big holes with just two palm strikes. If he'd hit someone's head with that force, it would surely be like smashing a watermelon. "Uncle Hua?" Lu Yun noticed Hua Zi's surprise and called out gently, "Ah?"
"Hua Zi came back to himself and looked at Lu Yun, saying, 'Oh, I can manage, I can manage.' Lu Yun beamed and replied, 'Then great! I'll go buy some wine for you. All the supplies are in the courtyard—just take what you need. I'll be right back.' Hua Zi stared at the two holes in the wall and nodded instinctively, 'Alright, go ahead. I know where your things are kept.'
'If you need any help, just let Xin Lan help you,' Lu Yun said as he was about to leave the pavilion.
'No, no, this job isn't something a woman can handle,' Hua Zi quickly replied, laughing. With that beautiful girl right beside him offering assistance, he'd hardly need to do anything himself anymore. Besides, her firm hands—how could anyone else endure that? If he even missed a moment and offended her, she'd surely give him a solid slap on the head. Then, his own wives would surely have to be left to fend for themselves in the bed while he was busy.
Lu Yun knew Hua Zi wouldn't let Xin Lan assist him. As he stepped out of the pavilion, he saw Xin Lan standing alone
"Tiexin Lan thought for a moment and smiled softly, saying, 'Won't you be afraid that after I leave, I might bring you some trouble?' Lu Yun replied in a joking tone, 'Then how can I possibly be sure to leave you safely at home?'"
"Well, to make this rather straight-laced young man feel at ease, I'm coming with you," Iron Xinlan tapped Landun's forehead with her finger, chuckling. "Come on, let's get going—let's leave early and return early. Wang Hehui and his people might show up at any moment." Landun called out and stepped out first. Iron Xinlan followed closely behind, heading straight for the only convenience store in the village. As they walked, every villager who wasn't working in the fields stared in awe at Iron Xinlan's beauty. "Xinlan sister, I think you should stay in our village instead of going back to the school to teach. You'll be treated like a goddess every day—much more enjoyable than being a mere teacher," Landun joked, enjoying the villagers' amazement and admiration. Iron Xinlan smiled and covered her mouth. "Then shall I move in with you?"
"Of course, not only will you be living with us, but you'll be sharing a bed with me," Lu Yun said softly.
"Get out of the way! Who in the world would share a bed with you? Watch out for yourself—don't even think about bumping into a power pole!"
"How could I possibly do that? I was closing my eyes..."
With a loud "thud," Lu Yun stopped mid-sentence as his forehead slammed hard against a power pole by the roadside.
"I told you! Be careful not to hit the poles—now I'm in for it. Let me check if I've got a bump on my head."
Iron Xinlan, laughing so hard she could barely contain herself, watched Lu Yun wince in pain.
The "meat bun" must have definitely been knocked out—Lu Yun rubbed his forehead, drawing in cool breaths, and said, "Miss Xinlan, you saw there was a power pole ahead of me, yet you didn't even give me a word of warning. Now I'm seeing stars all over my vision!"
Iron Xinlan chuckled, "Now you're blaming me? I've told you time and again—your mind just wasn't paying attention.
