Because they stayed by the water, Wen Ran and Shen Wu were taught a good lesson by the old lady. Although they were strangers, in front of this tough old lady, Wen Ran and Shen Wu were as well-behaved as grandsons .

The old lady said she was tired. Seeing that the two young people had a good attitude, she was not so angry, but finally said: "You can also see how deep the water in this river is. If you fall into it , not kidding."

Wen Ran quickly replied: "We know."

Shen Wu also replied: "Understood."

The old lady's complexion calmed down.

Wen Ran asked politely: "Grandma, do you know which direction the village chief's house is?"

The old lady paused, "Are you looking for the village chief?"

"Yes, we want to ask the village chief something."

The old lady glanced at Wen Ran and Shen Wu, "You and the two gentlemen who came before, do you know each other?"

Wen Ran said: "Exactly."

The old lady didn't ask any more questions, but just pointed in one direction and said, "Go straight in that direction, and after turning over a slope, you will see a locust tree. Not far away is the village chief's house."

Wen Ran thanked the old lady, and when she was about to pull Shen Wu to go in that direction, the old lady stopped them again.

"You guys wait."

Wen Ran smiled and said, "Grandma, is there anything else?"

The old lady took out a pack of medicine from the medicine basket, "The village head is also old and his health is not good. This is the medicine I gave the village head. Since you are going to go there, please take the medicine with you. It also saves me another trip."

Wen Ran didn't refuse this little matter, she thanked the old lady again for showing the way, and she and Shen Wu walked in the direction the old lady pointed before.

After Wen Ran and Shen Wu left, a few elderly people scattered out of the houses on the side of the street. Without exception, they were all elderly women.

They stared at the direction in which the two young men left, and some emotion appeared on their wrinkled faces.

This village is not rich, and many houses seen along the road are in disrepair.

When he reached the hillside, Wen Ran even saw a ruined temple.

Shen Wu took Wen Ran's hand and tugged, "Ran Ran, do you want to rest for a while before leaving?"

Wen Ran thought for a while, then nodded, "Let's go in and have a look."

They walked into this small ruined temple. Since it was a ruined temple, there was no one to worship it, and it was very dilapidated.

Standing in front of the broken stone statue, Wen Ran couldn't see the original shape anymore, but she didn't know if the statue enshrined here was artificially destroyed, or it collapsed and shattered naturally because no one maintained it.

"Shen Jiaojiao." Wen Ran tugged at his hand, "Can you tell which god is enshrined here?"

Shen Wu tilted his head and stared at the slanted and incomplete stone sculpture for a while, then he blinked, "Ran Ran, I can't see it either."

The statue is broken into such pieces, it's strange to see it.

However, Wen Ran saw a few words on the fallen plaque - "Water Temple".

Water God?

Wen Ran glanced at the broken and shapeless stone statue again, wondering if it was because the water in this village was not blessed by the water god that someone smashed it.

However, she expressed her appreciation for the inscription on the plaque, "This word is vigorous and powerful, and I don't know if there are any literati in this village, or maybe it was written by someone they found from outside."

Because she was required to write well when she was a child, Wen Ran knew how difficult it was to write well. When she saw someone else's handwriting so well, she would inevitably admire it.

The person who would always go along with her words kept silent at this time.

Wen Ran looked up, "Shen Jiaojiao?"

He pursed his lips, "Ran Ran, I will practice calligraphy well, and one day, I will be able to write such beautiful calligraphy."

Wen Ran smiled, "Words must be practiced, but it's enough if you can handle the exam. You don't like writing, so why force yourself to compare with others?"

He looked at her seriously, his dark eyes full of persistence, "I want to be a better person."

"Who told you that a good handwriting is a better person?"

He was a little dazed, and blinked dully, "Aren't you all people who can praise good handwriting?"

"I don't deny that a good handwriting is a strength, but you also have your own strengths. For example, your swordsmanship is excellent, your swordsmanship is great, you eat a lot, you don't waste food, you are easy to coax, cling to people, and pester people... …”

The more she talked, the more the content seemed to be wrong.

It's just that when she said it, she looked so serious, as if those things that were not worth mentioning were really his strengths.

Shen Wu asked in a low voice, "Is it a good thing to eat a lot?"

"That's natural, don't you grow taller if you eat more?"

"Ran Ran also said that I was easy to coax..."

"Yes, you are easy to coax, it means that you are open-minded and don't care too much. It's too easy to get along with people like you!"

Shen Wu pursed his lips and restrained the upward curvature of the corners of his lips. He hooked her little finger, lowered his head and said vaguely, "Ran Ran also said that I was clingy, that I was clinging to people..."

"This means that you are lovable and hurt." Wen Ran raised her face and said seriously, "I won't lie, you say you have so many advantages, why do you want to compare yourself with others? You have to learn everything, so what do you ask others to do? Shen Jiaojiao, give others a way to live!"

Shen Wu intertwined his fingers with her, he nodded heavily, "Ran Ran is right, if I learn everything, then others won't have the strengths they can use, and they won't be able to get a wife."

Where did he learn this from?

Seeing that Wen Ran was happy, she was relieved, and with a smile, she stretched out her other hand and poked his chest, "So you have to give me more confidence in the future, you know a lot, no Speaking of other people, in my eyes, no one in this world can compare to you."

There was joy in his brows and eyes, and he gave a soft "um", then grabbed her hand and poked him, and put it on his face.

"Then let's move on."

"it is good."

Shen Wu, who had been praised a lot, seemed particularly well-behaved at this time. When Wen Ran asked him to go east, he would never go west, and even after walking out of the ruined temple, he could excitedly introduce himself to Wen Ran that she did not Speaking of advantages.

"Ran Ran, I will pick fruit. Even if we live in the wild, I will never make you hungry."

"I also catch pheasants, catch fish... I can catch anything you want."

"Also, I fight very hard. I will try my best not to let others beat me. Ran Ran's mating rights are mine... uh!"

She covered his mouth, "Enough! I know you're amazing! You can shut up!"
