Chapter 551: Chapter 550: You Have a Scent on You

It turned out she had known all along that she was following behind him.

Feng Jinrui wanted to explain, but he couldn’t utter half a word of explanation.

He simply wanted to follow her, as for what to do after following her, he himself hadn’t decided.

A little girl whom he didn’t recognize at all.

She was petite, looking to be only about thirteen or fourteen years old.

Although her silhouette puzzled him, resembling... resembling the back of an enchantress, she was clearly not one.

A stranger.

Seeing that he was silent, Xiaoyao didn’t want to bother with him anymore and, carrying her small basket, continued walking.

Soon, she arrived at the fields.

"What are you doing?" She actually used something to pick up the worms and threw them into her basket!

"What’s it to you?" Xiaoyao kept walking forward.

The issue with the Lijia Worms was really not a small one.

They could be seen everywhere in the puddles of the fields.

Bloated and large, no wonder they had devoured so many crops.

But what they didn’t know was that these so-called Lijia Worms, now bloated and large, were actually top-quality delicacies!

Feng Jinrui continued to follow behind her.

Seeing her continue to use the pliers to catch the Lijia Worms, he thought he had understood.

"These Lijia Worms, in just one spot, can number in the thousands, you can’t catch them all by yourself."

The Imperial Court had previously dispatched officials to eradicate them, he had also heard about it, but hadn’t expected the imperial envoy to be deceitful.

The plague of the Lijia Worms had not ended at all, but he had deceived everyone from top to bottom, telling the superiors he had completed his mission while to those below, he had only distributed a meager amount of grain, proclaiming that the Imperial Court had shown grace to the people.

In reality, that meager amount of grain, how could it possibly be enough for everyone to eat?

To deceive both the Imperial Court and the people like this, truly, it was a sin not easily forgiven!

But the task of exterminating the Lijia Worms was an affair of the Imperial Court, what could this little girl do by herself?

"Aren’t you the General from the army today?"

After catching a basket full of Lijia Worms, Xiaoyao turned around and, by the light of the moon, finally saw Feng Jinrui’s appearance clearly.

He was very handsome, but she was not infatuated, and she had not much interest in handsome men.

Especially since he looked, at most, to be around seventeen or eighteen years old.

Even though she was not much older herself, subconsciously, she felt that boys around seventeen or eighteen were still just boys.

"Why aren’t you going back to the army, what are you doing here?"

"To find you," Feng Jinrui didn’t lie, so he totally didn’t conceal his purpose.

"You... you have a certain smell about you."

Xiaoyao was stunned for a moment, then lowered her head to smell herself: "I’ve taken a bath!"

To actually say she had a smell!

Feng Jinrui was also taken aback, and immediately his handsome face coloured, "That’s not what I meant, it’s just... it’s just that you really resemble someone I know."

"You’re resorting to this kind of tactic to hit on me even when I look like this? Are you sure?"

Xiaoyao nearly laughed! This guy, so silly!

Feng Jinrui felt quite embarrassed: "I didn’t mean that either!"

He truly felt that her scent was constantly drawing him in, it wasn’t about hitting on her or trying to take advantage of her.

Why was it so hard to explain?

Xiaoyao, however, ignored him, picked up her little basket, and quickly left the field that was already devoid of crops.

"Where are you going?" Feng Jinrui followed behind her.

"I’m going to the Magistrate’s residence, are you also going?"

After thinking for a moment, Xiaoyao suddenly had a thought, and her eyes brightened immediately.

"You’re a General, it must be easy for you to meet the Magistrate, isn’t it?"

Feng Jinrui was still not used to lying and hiding things, so he nodded honestly, "Easy... but what do you want to do?"

"Take me with you!"

Xiaoyao’s eyes curved into a smile, looking very charming: "I want to see the highest official here!"

The highest official here?

Feng Jinrui blinked.

Right now, the highest official in this town was his Loyal Brother!
