Chapter 445: Chapter 443: Are You a Girl?_1
“Anything else you want?”
Lin Jinxu looked at his little sister, his tone suddenly changing, his face beaming with a smile, showing immense doting.
“All the fishing boats have been burnt down by pirates, leaving only wreckage.”
Lin Qingluo sighed in sadness, “If possible, we can invite some carpenters from the town to come and repair what can be repaired. As for those that can’t be repaired, we will have to discard them.”
“Alright, we’ll do our best.”
The Lin brothers nodded solemnly.

After breakfast, the brothers left on horseback. Lin Qingluo and the Little Prince wandered around the village, visiting each household to see the condition of the injured.
The Little Prince was well-behaved and sensible, carrying a small backpack on his back. When his sister was changing the dressings for the wounded, he skillfully took out bandages and ointments from the backpack to assist her.
The siblings went around the village, unsurprisingly receiving endless praises and gratitude.
The villagers of Jishui Village, looking at the siblings as if they were golden boys and jade girls, could not help but show gratitude.
They were grateful to the heavens for not abandoning them.
They met the descendant of the national hero in their most painful moments.
They were grateful to the Duke of Zhen’s Mansion for raising such excellent children.

“You’re a girl?!”
As the siblings passed by the archery boy’s house, they saw him coming out from the low courtyard wall and met face to face.
Upon close inspection of Lin Qingluo’s delicate appearance, the boy was stunned for a moment, and then retreated three steps, maintaining a distance of two meters.
“That’s right, what’s wrong with being a girl?”
Lin Qingluo stopped and smiled playfully, finding his reaction quite amusing.
“Girls are troublesome.”
The boy muttered, rubbing the back of his head, recalling his sister’s fierce image, and the corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily.
“Sister is the best, don’t you dare say anything bad about her!”
The Little Prince was not pleased, pouting his cheeks in protest.
“Little ones are even more troublesome.”
The boy sneered secretly, looking away, not wanting to meet the Little Prince’s eyes.
“Sister, let’s ignore him.”
The Little Prince was very clever, quickly discerning his disdain from his facial expression, and very unhappily, puffed his cheeks, pulling his sister away.
“Alright, we won’t talk to those who look down on girls.”
Lin Qingluo followed his intentions, provokingly glaring at the boy.
“Hey, hey, wait a minute, I have a question for you?”
The boy quickly moved aside as he saw the siblings were about to leave and stopped them.
“Oh, now you don’t find girls troublesome?”
Lin Qingluo glanced at him, mocking him.
“Ahem.”
The boy choked, his ears turning red.
“Ask whatever you want to ask.”
Lin Qingluo pretended not to notice his embarrassment, raising her delicate eyebrows, “I’m a busy person; I don’t have time to waste here.”
“You can treat illnesses?”
The boy’s eyes flashed, as he seemed to be slightly intimidated by her invisible aura, and his thoughts drifted back to his sister, causing the corners of his mouth to twitch involuntarily again.
“You didn’t know?”
Lin Qingluo chuckled, winking her eyes mischievously, implying something.
“Could it be that the person peeking from behind the wall at Grandma Li’s house yesterday wasn’t you?”
She had seen everything clearly from inside the house!
“Ahem.”
The boy choked again, his cheeks flushing red.
“I-I-I…”
The repetition of “I” highlighted his embarrassment.
“Yi’er, who are you talking to? If there are guests, why haven’t you invited them in?”
The boy’s mother, hearing the noise outside while inside the house, forced herself to get up despite her frail health, lifted the curtain and walked out.
