The Rural Beauty 254, Main Text 254 254 The mid-aged driver spoke while shaking his head, his face filled with indignation. This content is the textual material of Chapter 254 of "The Rural Beauty 254." QRGE - The Lovers' Pavilion – For what he said, Lu Yun had only seen it on television. In reality, very few villagers went out to work, and it was hardly imaginable that such things were actually happening to a mid-aged driver right beside him. It's no wonder that the beautiful young woman secretly stole her man while secretly carrying on with her boyfriend—how could the mid-aged driver possibly react the way he did? Though the boyfriend wasn't particularly upright, he managed to pull through at the crucial moment. "Why didn't the girl from the second family come back with you?" asked the mid-aged driver. "She needed to use the restroom. Originally, she wanted me to stay with her so that no one would get a chance to peek. She found a hidden, abandoned latrine shed at the construction site—so private that no one would be able to see her. That's why I came back first." Lu Yun’s face warmed slightly. Previously, he had never known what it was like to feel flushed when lying—yet this time, facing the honest, down-to-earth middle-aged driver, he found himself unusually red-faced. The driver nodded, showing no skepticism about Lu Yun’s words. “Uncle, you sit here a moment—I’ll go see my sister.” Lu Yun made an excuse and slipped away. “Xiao Yun, what’s she wanted?” Ling Xiaoman sat cross-legged under the tree, watching Lu Yun approach. Lu Yun smiled and sat beside her, saying, “Nothing much. This woman’s afraid to go to the restroom and wants me to stay with her. Honestly, she’s even afraid someone will peek at her—what a laugh! This is from Chapter 254 of ‘Rural Beauty.’” Ling Xiaoman blushed, changing the subject: “I feel a bit tired. Could I lean on your shoulder? I don’t know what’s wrong—since I drank the tea served by the owner of the lingerie shop, I’ve felt mentally foggy and listless, always wanting to sleep.” "Go to sleep, you must be tired from walking," Lu Yun said, leaning his shoulder against her. Ling Xiaoman glanced at him, then tilted her head slightly and settled her face against Lu Yun's shoulder, closing her eyes to drift off into a light sleep. Lu Yun turned his head slightly, gazing at Ling Xiaoman's refined features, and found himself puzzled. Last night, after the rather clumsy incident with Zhang, she had surely not slept well—she seemed listless this morning, and had nearly dozed off all the way to the city. Yet, since arriving in the city, a series of events had unfolded, and now she seemed remarkably refreshed. By her nature, she wouldn't have fallen asleep so deeply during the visit to the lingerie store. Could it be that the store owner had subtly influenced her tea, just as Yang Yanping had used the Huhuan Powder in her eyes? As he recalled the words the store owner had said to him, the possibility grew stronger. Otherwise, how could she have been so bold in arranging for him and the young married woman to engage in that intimate activity in the bathroom? And how could she have so confidently assured him that Ling Xiaoman would remain unconscious for a while? If we come back next week, I'll definitely find out the truth from the store owner lady—should she really have dosed the tea, I'll make sure to give her a good scolding. Just a few minutes later, the lovely young woman strolled out slowly from the construction site, her long hair slightly disheveled, glancing toward Lu Yun as she walked. A rosy glow still lingered on her cheeks, as if she'd been quite comfortable with the middle-aged man. A clever move, a clever move! Yet in the end, it only managed to give Er-Dan one more green hat! When the beautiful young woman reached the side of the tricycle, the bearded man who had delivered the medicine to Lu Yun returned as well, holding a bag in his hands—though it wasn't clear what was inside, only that it carried a strong aroma of traditional Chinese herbs. "Uncle Bearded, you're back!" Lu Yun waved a greeting. The man with a full beard walked over to Lu Yun and chuckled, saying, "Yes, exactly. I've been making several trips into town to purchase medicines, stock up a bit more, and soon we'll be moving to another place." "Oh, Uncle Bearded, you're using traditional Chinese medicine, right? It's quite strong in flavor. Are all the medicines you're giving me store-bought finished products? I never heard of such remarkable remedies before—this is quite new to me," Lu Yun said, slightly puzzled. The man with the full beard tossed his bag far away and knelt down beside Lu Yun, saying, "These are just raw materials. The medicines I'm giving you are all made by me using my family's secret recipe—medicinal stores simply can't offer anything like this." Family-secret recipe! Lu Yun immediately became interested. Glancing at Ling Xiaoman, who still hadn't awakened, he lowered his voice and asked, "Uncle, if this family-secret recipe is so effective and remarkable, why haven't you scaled up production and sold it to pharmacies? Once your medicines reach the pharmacies, they'll surely be in high demand." The man with the beard only smiled, saying nothing in response to Lu Yun's words. Lu Yun was puzzled—earlier he had been asked to promote himself vigorously, yet now his proposal seemed to be completely ignored. Suddenly, the soft, entrancing voice of the beautiful young woman rang out: "Come on, get on the trike. Those two aren't coming after all. Let's go home now." She stepped forward and took the lead, lifting her skirt as she climbed onto the trike. But as she bent down to enter the车厢, she fully exposed her skirt hem. A patch of her underpants was already damp—was she still subtly swaying now? Lu Yun's eyes were sharp, and though his heart was fluttering with excitement, he knew that at this moment there simply wasn't a chance to have a serious conversation with her. He could only seize opportunities to enjoy her in private. He gently shook her shoulder and said softly, "Sister, wake up. The car is about to leave." Ling Xiaoman opened her blurry eyes, nodded in response, and followed Lu Yun as he rose to walk toward the tricycle. After helping Ling Xiaoman onto the vehicle, the man with a thick beard called Lu Yun aside and whispered, "Little Yun, has anything gone wrong for you in the city? I'm concerned—your sister's condition hasn't improved much. It seems she's been given a sedative." Lu Yun was instantly startled, yet his face remained composed. He smiled warmly, saying, "Not at all. She's been doing well. We've been out shopping, but I didn't manage to buy her any new clothes. Nothing out of the ordinary happened." The man with the thick beard glanced at Lu Yun with a look of doubt, then smiled and said, "Perhaps I misjudged it. Let's go." Lu Yun followed behind him, thinking to himself—what kind of background does this man have? He immediately noticed that Ling Xiaoman had been given a sedative! Though startled, Lu Yun felt more furious now. How dare you, Madame Manager of the lingerie store! You actually gave your sister a sedative in her tea! My good friend, I'll definitely come by next week and tear your "Oh my, Lu's son, you've bought so many护舒宝 sanitary pads just by entering the city—myself, I've always been reluctant to use something so expensive. Can you at least give me two packs?" Surprised by Lu Yun's gesture, the beautiful young woman lost her initial boldness. Though she still harbored some resentment toward Ling Xiaoman, it was simply the natural jealousy of a woman toward someone more beautiful. Seizing the moment when Lu Yun wasn't paying attention, she gently stepped over and reached for the plastic bag of sanitary pads that Lu Yun had placed beneath the iron plate.
