Once the village chief confirmed multiple times, it finally became clear that Lin Fan was really not an official, just passing through.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, putting down their weapons and dispersing.
Except Erniu.
He was still full of hostility toward Lin Fan.
However, Lin Fan knew that this hostility was more about jealousy.
Although Erniu put down his weapon, his gaze remained fixed on Lin Fan.
As if he needed to watch the other's every move or he wouldn't feel at ease.
Lin Fan smiled, not bothering with it.
"I'm sorry, it was a misunderstanding, almost cost you your life."
"It's okay, no problem."
"Well then, why don't you stay at my place tonight? It might be a bit shabby."
"I'm not picky, as long as it's a place sheltered from the wind and rain."
Li Hua supported the village chief as they walked ahead, leading Lin Fan toward home.
Erniu followed closely behind, staying close.
"Please enter."
