The Country Beauty, 799; Main Text, 799; The Consequences of Remaining Silent, Chapter 799: The Consequences of Remaining Silent. Lu Yun's great eagle spread its wings transformed into a sparrow flapping its wings with growing frustration, yet upon hearing the footsteps approaching steadily from outside, he gradually lowered his still-unsatisfied flapping hands. "Well," Iron Xinlan couldn't help but smile, "we have plenty of time tonight. What's the hurry now?" “Lu Yun thought it over, and indeed, his little sparrow flapping its wings was merely consoling himself—there was no real intention to actually eat Fei Xinlan. Though a bit reluctant, he quickly made his way toward the door, opening it to find Hua Zi standing outside. “Xiu Ping…” Hua Zi called out to the one standing at the center of the courtyard. “I’ll just stay outside. It seems your girls don’t particularly like me. Don’t let me spoil your enjoyment.” Hua Zi’s sharp-tongued demeanor had already made Fei Xinlan feel somewhat distant, so she now stood hesitating in the courtyard. Just as Lu Yun opened the door, he saw this scene and immediately smiled, saying, “Come in, all of you. There’s plenty to eat. With the heat, if we don’t finish it, we’ll waste it.” “I told you, Xiao Yun wouldn’t care about such things. Come in now!” Hua Zi, having finished her preparations, showed no sign of fatigue. She quickly walked over to Fei Xinlan and, with firm determination, pulled her inside. This is what they call being nervous when you're stealing—now, with his knife-like demeanor, Li Yun feels a bit uneasy in his own skin. He glances at Tie Xinlan, trying to smile, but his face ends up looking more embarrassed than if he were crying—so awkward and unnatural, completely losing the bold, carefree spirit he had when he first met her. The knife-like tone surprised him—finally, his concerns had come true. Blushing slightly, he looked at Lu Yun and said, "Lu Yun, can you keep our matter between us and my brother-in-law confidential?" "Lu Yun smiled and said, "Don't worry. In our village, this isn't anything unusual—every woman has her sweetheart. As long as you don't disrupt Huazǐ's household, I'll simply treat this as if it never happened." Upon hearing this, Dāozi, who had been tense, immediately relaxed and said, "That's truly generous of you. If you have time in the evening, I'll take good care of you until you're comfortable." Lu Yun, now slightly tipsy, chuckled and replied, "How could I compete with Huazǐ for a woman? You go on first. If I feel restless, I'll naturally go find someone else to relieve myself." Dāozi's face fell slightly with disappointment. Though she liked Huazǐ, Lu Yun was simply unmatched in his charm and activities. From Lu Yun's tone, it seemed clear that he wouldn't be pursuing her any further—there was a quiet sense of regret. Yet Dāozi was quick-witted. The fact that Lu Yun had agreed not to mention their affair was already a blessing; what more could she ask for? She blushed and said, "Xiao Yun, if you can't find someone "Well, if it weren't for you thinking about going up to her, how could I possibly know your intentions?" the younger brother quickly defended himself. "Hmm... Did I really have a sudden urge to go up to her when I saw that little round backside of hers, all perked up like that just now?" It seemed as though he had successfully defended himself, and with a proud air, he continued, "Honestly, as long as you don't want to do anything, I simply wouldn't know what you're thinking. I'd rather not bother figuring it out. Fine, you go back and enjoy your dinner and drinks. I'll keep resting and building up my strength, waiting for you to send me out to fight. Honestly, this dry, hollow feeling in my body is unbearable. Brother, you really need to find me a way to get some relief—maybe a few openings—so that I don't lose interest in this altogether." "Get out of the way and just lie there sleeping. I'm going to take care of the water first. Otherwise, I'll give you a good wash too!" Lu Yun stepped into the courtyard and suddenly felt an urgent need to urinate. In a flash, he turned and rushed toward the restroom. "Wait, please, absolutely don't worry—You're the head of the household. Whenever you have a chance, I'll make my move. I'll never let you down. I'll start by opening my mouth to help regulate the water flow—just remember not to splash it on me. This water is completely different from what that woman produces." The young man kept talking nonstop, and Lu Yun began to doubt whether he might actually be spitting out droplets of saliva. "Shut up!" Lu Yun didn't bother arguing with him. He simply barked the order, entered the restroom, unbuttoned his waist belt, and pulled out the tube, ready to start releasing water. After waiting for a long time, not a single drop came out. Lu Yun's face turned crimson with frustration. "Good heavens! What's going on? Did I drink a little beer, and now I can't even urinate?" Lu Yun was so tense he could hardly breathe, wishing he could grab a knife and劈 open the bird tube when suddenly he sensed his younger brother's timid voice: "Brother, what if I open my mouth first, let you release the water, and then close it again? Would that work?" Lu Yun was instantly stunned. For goodness' sake—after all this time, it was actually him playing the prank! He burst out shouting, "Good heavens! I've been urinating, and you've been closing your mouth the whole time—did you really intend to choke me to death?" "Bro, I'm full of委屈:" You're the one who made me shut my mouth..." Land Yun's forehead immediately flashed with a thousand black lines. Man, since I've been able to hear your voice, you've never been this obedient before. Now, right when I'm about to turn on my back, you pull this stunt—clearly, you're taking revenge. Though Land Yun was furious, he kept his wits about him. After all, you've even managed to control when I urinate. Better keep quiet—otherwise, with you always holding your mouth shut, I might actually end up being choked to death by my own urine. "Open your mouth, brother—I'm going to let you have it," Land Yun settled into position, his tone softened. "Got it!" As soon as he said it, a steady stream of water erupted from Land Yun's pipe...
