Chapter 166 Affectionate and Ruthless
Chapter 166 Affectionate and Ruthless
Jinniu Town Linfu, Manina sat alone in the hall, sipping tea, the first appearance of the morning light, with the early morning mist, but also with a portion of coolness, the tree in front of the hall has fallen all the leaves, only the smooth branches, still in the autumn Chenguang, the small stream flows with fallen leaves, can no longer see the clarity of the past, the mountain courtyard, is not what it used to be.
These days, Manina has changed from a girl who does not understand the world to the acting city lord of Taurus Town, who has real power, in charge of the survival of hundreds of thousands of living beings, although it is only a little more than a month, but these days really break her heart, whether it is the big or small matters in the town, or the contradictions and disputes in various villages, she has to ask, even the daughter-in-law of the owner of the west said a few words, she has to ask clearly.
But the things inside and outside the home of this townsman are things that she has never been involved in and have never understood, and even some things between men and women, she has never even heard of them, let alone any opinions, what ideas will there be, fortunately there is Lin Suiyun by her side, all these affairs are taken care of, and she also listens to the experience of those older people in the town, but she also learns and does it, and even the matter of defense and soul master she has already understood, counting the rest of the month, Manina's maturity is not ordinary, at this time sitting in the hall has loomed the steady and mature atmosphere of the head of the family, and it also reveals the infinite charm that a woman should haveγ
Lin Suiyun, Lin Suishuang and the Five Beards Master only hurried at this time, I don't know what this generation of city lord will do when he gathers everyone today, but Mrs. He, who was arranged to be in charge of the He Mansion, did not come, I don't know if Manina did not pass the word, or Mrs. He has passed away like water, and is no longer willing to look at this decaying Linfu.
Lin Suiyun did not sit opposite Manina, but sat on the left side of the hall, and Lin Suishuang sat on the right side with the Five Beards, so as to show the majesty of the city lord, the whole hall seemed very deserted, and it seemed relatively empty, it was not as lively as before, after the three of them sat down, they didn't speak, only a few girls poured tea for the three of them, and they all tasted tea, each with their own thoughts, although so, it did not affect Manina's mood at all.
Manina looked around at the three of them and said, "You are all here, drink some tea and eat some snacks first, but today I have something to explain." β
After Manina finished speaking, she ignored the three of them, picked up a piece of ice cream by herself, and put it in her mouth to savor it.
Seeing this, the three of them also ate breakfast, and the light slowly shone in, and the room was much warmer.
"Suiyun, how are the precautions you are dealing with now?"
Lin Suiyun just picked up the teacup, listened to Manina's question, but put down the cup again, smiled slightly, looked at Manina and said: "The number of people in defense has doubled, and there are also patrol guards in the city, and there are no major thefts in the whole town, and there are no fights and provocations, and the townspeople live and work in peace and contentment, and they are peaceful." β
Lin Suiyun's face is very good, and he seems to be in a very energetic state, although he is still running errands for the acting city lord, he is more free than before under the parting, and he has more initiative, and the entire Taurus Town is now like his home, and he is extremely responsible for Manina's saddle in front and back of the horse in every detail.
Manina's face showed a look of satisfaction, he trusted Lin Suiyun very much, this is her most trustworthy person in Jinniu Town, and it is also the main support of Jinniu Town since Ao Xuanyun and his party left, she also had to trust, let Lin Suiyun report first, it is also a good start, and she naturally knows what Lin Suiyun means to her in her heart, so she is not afraid of what someone will say.
Manina looked at Lin Suiyun and said with a smile: "With Brother Lin taking care of it personally, the security in this city is better every day, and I think the people in this town can also see it, and I thank Brother Lin on behalf of these townspeople." β
"Yes, this is everyone's Taurus Town, the acting city lord doesn't have to be so polite!"
Lin Suiyun is not arrogant, but very modest.
Lin Suishuang didn't wait for Manina to ask, so he replied directly: "Back to the city lord, the Hu Mansion has a big event, the livelihood of the entire city and other villages is normal, it is rare that this year is smooth, but the villages of Jinniu Town are also full of harvest, the town transactions are very prosperous, the townspeople are all praised, and they are full of praise for the acting city lord, and there is nothing special to report!"
When the Venerable Master Wusu looked at it, he also wanted to say a few words, but Manina waved his hand and said, "The Venerable Master Wuxu doesn't need to talk about it anymore, since everything is peaceful in Taurus Town, I am also relieved, but I have something to tell you about when I summoned a few people to come here today." β
After Manina finished speaking, she looked at the three of them, but she had a mature and steady attitude, took a sip of tea and said: "I have been busy with the affairs of the town these days, I am a little tired, I want to leave for a few days, and the affairs of the city will be handed over to the three.
Lin Suiyun was a little puzzled, Manina's family in Mugui Village was very good, and the affairs in the town were handled properly, but he didn't know why Manina wanted to stay away from Jinniu Town at this time, and Ao Xuanyun and his party had no news, so there was no need to worry, although her face was a little gloomy, she should have nothing to do after a few days, and she would not travel far because of this, and she did not explain where she wanted to go.
Lin Suiyun looked at Manina and said: "Acting City Lord, this Golden Bull Town has achieved initial results under the rule of the Acting City Lord, and it is more prosperous and peaceful than before, why does the Acting City Lord have to travel far away at this time, for some reason, if you are sick, you can ask the city doctor to treat the Acting City Lord, or the three of us are still inexhaustible, please inform the City Lord!"
Manina said softly: "It's nothing, the three of you have done a good job, and you have also done a lot of practical things for the townspeople of Jinniu Town, I think the city lord of Ao will also be very happy to see it, but I am still a little unaccustomed to living here, these days I feel that the star soul in my body is moving very much, but the soul cultivation technique is also not a way, so the body is a little tired, I want to find a place to recuperate for a few days, you don't have to think about it, but I have nothing else!"
"On behalf of the city lord, there are still some soul cultivation spirit herbs in Linfu, which can nourish the loss of the spirit body, if the city lord needs to just arrange for someone to get it, there is no need to scruple. β
Lin Suishuang saw that Manina's face was different, not as ruddy as usual, and there were obvious dark circles under the face, it seemed that it was due to lack of sleep, or the loss of qi and blood, but Lin Suishuang was just a girl's body, and did not understand the reason for this woman's body.
Manina smiled and said: "Thank you Sister Suishuang for your concern, but it's not that the spirit body is sick, naturally you don't need those tonic spirit herbs, and you don't have to worry about me, you just need to do your part." β
The Venerable Master felt that there must be something different, but he didn't say anything, just smiled, as if he had expected this.
Manina only drank tea, and said to the three of them again: "Suiyun, the matter of gathering soul beads, we should hurry up and find it, at least we can't let people who have the opportunity to take advantage of it get it, and hurt the soul of the undead in my Taurus Town, if there is any accident in other towns in the future, you can't move lightly, whether it involves me or the city lord of Ao Xuanyun, you just need to take care of this Taurus Town, if he has something in the future, I will definitely come to Taurus Town to arrange it." β
Manina thought about these words, but she still said them, but when the three of them heard it, they didn't understand what they meant, they wanted to ask but they didn't want to, they all looked at Manina and seemed to be a little tired.
"Work behalf of the city lord, please go back to the house to rest, I don't know when the city lord will travel far away, the three of us will send the city lord together!"
Lin Suiyun's eyes are very concerned, although Manina is often with him these days, but it is not as intimate as Ao Xuanyun in the past few days, since Manina became the position of the city lord of this generation, but more estranged, even the five beards rarely meet alone, but the change in just over a month is very obvious, although Lin Suiyun has always liked Manina in his heart, but Manina avoids everywhere, which makes him very embarrassed, but he does not want to hurt Manina's heart, so he can only remember it silently in his heart.
Manina looked up at the three of them and said softly: "You all go and get busy, I'll rest for a while and leave, no need to send each other, if this is the case, it will become a parting, but it will be clichΓ©!"
Seeing this, the three of them didn't say much, but walked out of the hall separately.
Lin Suishuang is a little confused, since he and the Five Beards Master went back to his own hospital, this Linfu is very large, they are separated, this month is less to come and go, the Five Beards Master followed Lin Suishuang but also to get along, and the Linfu changed, so that Lin Suishuang's psychology has changed a lot, those young ladies in the past have a lot of temper, and also re-examine their own lives, for the Five Beards to do things with themselves, to be grateful, if it is changed before, I am afraid that even talking to her is not qualified.
And Lin Suiyun is back to the practice ground, want to take advantage of this morning time, practice soul arts, enhance the skills of the spirit body, the two Ao Xuanyun and the Golden Bull guardian gold on the practice field left by the pit has been flattened, restored to the original state, that battle to Lin Suiyun extremely shocked, the first time I saw the soul skills of the two, and ordinary soul masters are very different, if you can reach the spirit of the star soul, you can really be regarded as a walking situation, and I secretly made up my mind to practice, one day, I will be able to become a person like Ao Xuanyun.
But sometimes no matter how hard you try, but you are just an ordinary mortal spirit, in addition to the innate spirit body, there are still opportunities on the way to cultivate the soul, only with personal efforts, sometimes you can achieve a certain goal, but sometimes how hard you work is just a vain effort, this truth is actually understood by many people, but Lin Suiyun still believes in himself, because he actually still has something to rely on.
Just as Lin Suiyun was looking at the clouds, he heard a cow roar in front of the hall, a green cow rose into the air, heading towards the Hengnan Mountain Range, Lin Suiyun could only shake his head and sneer, but he didn't know whether it was for himself or something else, he seemed to know the purpose of Manina's trip, but there was more sadness in his heart.
