Everyone Wants to Pamper the Lucky Daughter-Chapter 1139 - 1131: The Heartbroken Young Girls Who Admire Him_1
"Now thatβs awesome, from now on, wonβt the young general be a royal relative?"
"Isnβt that true? Our village girls canβt reach that high status anymore; theyβll all be crying."
"Hahahaha...."
* ππ£πππ°πππ§πΌπππ.π°π¨π¦
The sound of gongs and drums filled the air, men chatted and laughed, and the girls eagerly anticipated the arrival of the admired general, hoping to ease their lovesickness.
"Whatβs so good about that guy? Heβs narrow-minded, bullies others with his power, takes personal revenge, and incites trouble. A bunch of head-over-heels fools, theyβre all hopeless."
Liu Qingqing also mingled among them, vigorously rubbing a washed white silk handkerchief, grumbling angrily.
Up ahead came the rapid sound of horse hooves. A few fast horses galloped along the river channel, getting closer and closer.
"General Lin is here!"
"Itβs the young general!"
A sharp-eyed villager saw a young general in black armor at the head of the group. He couldnβt help but cheer loudly.
Liu Qingqingβs breath paused for a moment. She looked ahead with furrowed brows and involuntarily walked forward.
"Itβs the young general!"
"It really is the young general."
Longing for his arrival, the infatuated girls surged forward.
Liu Qingqing was ruthlessly pushed aside.
"Oops."
The crowd surged, scaring the horses. Lin Jinxu had to tighten the reins.
The horses neighed and raised their front hooves, lunging forward a short distance before finally stopping.
"General Lin, this is Jishui Village."
A staff officer approached him on horseback and whispered, "Six months ago, a fight broke out among nearby villages over water sources."
Lin Jinxu dismounted and pointed to the rushing river. He sincerely praised, "Mr. Xu is truly talented! I admire your work."
"I was just following orders."
The staff officer also dismounted, stroked his short beard, and sincerely admired him.
"If it werenβt for your strong support, digging a canal a hundred miles away and connecting the river channels to divert water from the Black Sand River would be nothing but a foolβs dream."
Lin Jinxu gracefully and modestly smiled, "Beidi is arid and land is barren. In the future, Iβll need Mr. Xuβs help to solve the water supply problem for more people."
The staff officer showed his reverence, bending his waist and cupping his hands in salute, "Your humble servant is willing to serve you at any cost."
"No need for such formality, Mr. Xu."
Lin Jinxu stepped forward and helped the staff officer up.
"With General Linβs presence, Jishui Village is honored."
Old Village Chief of Jishui Village, with help from his two sons, pushed through the infatuated girls and came to the front.
"My humble home is by the river channel. Please donβt despise our simple fare, General. Please have a meal at our house and allow me to represent the entire village in expressing our gratitude for your kindness."
"Old Village Chief, thereβs no need to be so polite."
Lin Jinxu smiled as he declined, "I just happened to be passing by. I have urgent matters to attend to and must leave immediately."
"Are you really leaving, General?"
Old Village Chiefβs eyes dimmed with disappointment, "Are you returning to Fengqi and not coming back?"
Lin Jinxu didnβt deny it, "I wonβt be back for a while."
"Ah!"
A gasp came from all around, and the admiring girlsβ hearts shattered.
Liu Qingqing felt a strange discomfort well up inside her, and she shook her head vigorously, trying to shake off the feeling.
"So what if heβs leaving? Whatβs the big deal?"
As she thought, she unintentionally said it out loud.
Her voice was a bit loud, and everyone within a ten-meter radius heard her.
The girls glared at her with fury, as if they wanted to tear her heart into pieces.
Lin Jinxuβs eyebrows slightly furrowed. He subconsciously felt that the voice was familiar. He looked over the girlsβ heads and saw Liu Qingqing. His eyes flashed briefly.
