Chapter 471: Finally Seeing Yano
Yafei is regretting this to death right now.
Originally, she didn't want the gifts because she didn't want to have any more entanglements with Shi Youxuan.
Who knew she could actually use such a reason to find her way to the Fishing Village? Right, how did she find it?
Before she could ask, Shi Youxuan had already had people start bringing the gifts down from the ship one after another.
A blood coral ornament over a foot tall.
Beautiful and elegant Jiangzhou silk satin.
Gold bracelets, necklaces, rings, and a bridal crown made of diamonds.
Crisp, tailored suits.
Genuine leather shoes.
A handcrafted jewelry box...
There were dozens of items, large and small, all of which could be used at a wedding.
It wasn't that Yafei didn't like them, but she really didn't want them!
If you accept someone's gifts, you have to invite them to the wedding.
If they stayed, they would definitely see Yano.
She was afraid of Shi Youxuan seeing Yano, but it was useless to be afraid now; there was simply no reason to refuse.
The people of the Fishing Village heard that the people they saved yesterday had come to repay their kindness today, and had brought many gifts, so they all rushed over to watch the excitement.
The men surrounded the cruise ship, sighing that it was a pity such a beautiful boat wasn't used for fishing.
However, they only marveled at how beautiful the cruise ship was, lamenting that it didn't fish and didn't transport mountain goods.
Yet, one by one, they turned a blind eye to the huge photograph on the ship's side, as if they hadn't seen it at all!
When things are abnormal, there must be something strange going on.
They weren't blind, yet they turned a blind eye to the photo and refused to mention that the person in the photo looked exactly like the Village Chief; this was not normal.
The women surrounded Shi Youxuan, marveling at her beauty.
They were even more curious that she was pregnant and could still run around with such a big belly; wouldn't her mother-in-law and husband blame her?
Shi Youxuan took the opportunity to say, "My husband is lost, and I came out just to find my husband."
She pointed to the photo on the ship's side for everyone to see: "That person is my husband. He has been away from me for more than five months, and I miss him very much."
The women who had just been surrounding her now had looks of terror on their faces, and then they all walked away one by one.
It was as if Shi Youxuan were a ferocious beast.
She felt even more certain in her heart.
Shi Youxuan came before Yafei, smiling with confidence, and said straightforwardly: "I want to see Yano. If I see him today, maybe I will leave today; if I don't see him today, I will definitely see him tomorrow."
Yafei: "Yano is not the person you are looking for; don't waste your effort."
Shi Youxuan did not give an inch: "Since he is not the person I am looking for, what are you afraid to let me see him for? Trying every possible way to stop me from seeing him, doesn't that show you have a guilty conscience?"
"Who has a guilty conscience? Don't talk nonsense." Yafei didn't admit it, but her eyes had already betrayed her.
She was very flustered and spoke incoherently: "Yano is not here. He went to Lashang City to buy things for our wedding. He doesn't want to see you. You should go, leave immediately, take your things with you; we don't covet them."
Shi Youxuan quickly found the loophole in Yafei's words: "Since he isn't at home, how do you know he doesn't want to see me? Also, aren't you and Yano siblings? Why would your groom be him?"
Shi Youxuan was aggressive, and Yafei could not answer.
She just kept insisting that they leave quickly, and if they didn't, she would have people drive them away.
She even claimed that they shouldn't have saved them yesterday, and as a result, they had saved a pack of wolves!
Shi Youxuan had no malicious intent; anyone with eyes could see that.
But it was useless; Yafei just insisted on driving Shi Youxuan and her group away.
The villagers all stood on Yafei's side. Just a moment ago they were welcoming them warmly, but in an instant, their attitudes changed completely, and they started grabbing guns and sticks to drive them away!
Wang Yong had a fiery temper and never accepted threats.
He wasn't even afraid of Pirates, let alone villagers who had just become rich.
The weapons in these people's hands were not bad, quite good in fact, but they didn't know how to use them at all. Some held the brand-new weapons backwards, and some hadn't even opened the safety catches.
Some were even so close that one could smell the fresh machine oil on their gun barrels.
Wang Yong waved his hand.
His movements were as fast as lightning; the villagers hadn't even reacted to what had happened before the guns in their hands were gone.
With basically no effort, the weapons in the villagers' hands had all changed owners!
"What are you doing? What are you all doing?" A group of old men ran over from afar, holding old-fashioned gunpowder guns, looking aggressive.
The brand-new, latest weapons in the young people's hands were useless, but Wang Yong did not dare to underestimate the old-fashioned hunting rifles with gleaming barrels in the hands of these old men.
"We have no malicious intent. We came to thank the villagers for saving our lives yesterday," Shi Youxuan said.
To show her sincerity, she had Wang Yong and the others return all the guns.
She also made it clear that it was the villagers who had pointed the guns at them, and that was why they had taken them away!
The old men looked at the young men in the village, and the young men all lowered their heads one by one.
Not denying it was the same as admitting it.
The person standing at the very front was Lao Ya Tou. After clarifying the ins and outs of the matter, he glared at his daughter with dissatisfaction and then said to Shi Youxuan: "Let's go, I will take you to see Yano."
"Dad, you can't let them meet..." Yafei wanted to object, but was stopped by a glare from her father.
She shut her mouth sheepishly.
She watched helplessly as Shi Youxuan followed her father toward the Village Office.
Wang Yong and Lao Qi also wanted to follow, but were stopped: "You stay here and wait; you weren't asked to go."
The two of them were worried about Shi Youxuan, so they started arguing with the villagers.
Wang Yong: "On what grounds are you not letting us follow? My sister-in-law is pregnant; if she gets bumped or bruised, I won't be done with you."
Lao Qi: "I am the Madam's bodyguard; wherever the Madam is, I am there."
Lao Ya Tou sank his face and said to Shi Youxuan: "If the people you brought don't follow our rules, then you should go back; don't meet him."
Shi Youxuan turned around and scolded the two, telling them to settle down and wait for her to return.
Wang Yong and Lao Qi finally quieted down.
Village Office.
Before Shi Youxuan even entered the door, she saw a familiar figure; the man had his back to her, and he had lost quite a bit of weight.
But she could still recognize at a glance that this back was the person she thought of day and night; it couldn't be wrong!
"Hanyu, Sheng Hanyu!" Shi Youxuan's voice trembled; she was excited.
Her voice was not quiet, and everyone inside heard it; they all looked toward her, but the "back" did not turn around, still focused intently on tinkering with the things in front of him.
Shi Youxuan quickened her pace, walking over in two or three steps, and grabbed the man's arm: "Hanyu, I've finally found you." As she spoke, tears fell.
The man turned around and looked up.
Their gazes met, but the man's gaze was unfamiliar and devoid of any warmth.
But he was very polite: "This lady, you must be Shi Youxuan, right? I think you have mistaken me for someone else; I am not the person you are looking for. My name is Yano, not some Sheng Hanyu."
Yano?
Heh, Shi Youxuan did not believe it.
He had a face exactly the same as Sheng Hanyu's, yet he claimed he was not Sheng Hanyu; who was he trying to fool?
"Do you dare to look into my eyes and repeat what you just said?" Shi Youxuan stared at him, enunciating every word.
So Yano repeated it without hesitation: "This lady, you have mistaken me for someone else. My name is Yano, I grew up in this Fishing Village since I was a child, I am a genuine fisherman, not your husband."
When he spoke, he was indeed looking into Shi Youxuan's eyes, but his gaze was cold and lacked even a hint of warmth.
This kind of gaze was unfamiliar to Shi Youxuan; it did not belong to the look Sheng Hanyu gave her!
