I'm Not a Real Master
Chapter 27: Gotong Royong

It had been several days since the exhausting journey from the bandit headquarters to the village. After welcoming Liu Huan a few days ago, they chose to take a short break before starting to repair the village.

When Liu Huan opened his eyes in the morning, he walked towards the window in his room. When he opened it, a crowd of villagers who worked together to rebuild their damaged village. Without hesitation, Liu Huan walked out of the room and rushed towards the workplace, the citizens.

Upon arrival, the villagers greeted him cordially. Due to his reliable strength, Liu Huan chose to collect wood along with the other citizens. They work together in several groups, namely gathering groups, makers, kitchen needs, and architecture.

Thanks to the reward given by the system yesterday, Liu Huan did not have to bother to collect wood. He has been given a set of building supplies to help the villagers. With his strength, Liu Huan walked into the forest and picked up all the wood to bring to the village.

When he reached the village gate, Liu Huan saw Ling Er together with Ling Xiu was watching the work of the citizens. Seeing Liu Huan approaching, Ling Er waved her hand with a sweet smile on her face.

"So, are you still capable, Liu Huan?" ask Ling Xiu.

"Just calm down, it's still not much."

"Don't push yourself too much."

"Ready."

Liu Huan went past them and placed the wood in the prearranged gathering place.

"With this, it's finally finished," Liu Huan said as he laid down the last piece of wood.

He went for a walk around the village while observing the work of everyone. In the construction section, Liu Huan saw Mr. Kades who was still forcing himself to help build a village hall with a body that was not young anymore.

"Sir Kades, do I need help?" tawang Liu Huan's.

"Son Liu Huan, don't kid. Let me, please" replied Mr. Kades kindly.

"Already sir, you just sit down let me continue."

Due to Liu Huan's insistence, Pak Kades finally gave up the rest of his work to Liu Huan.

"Alright, let's start," Liu Huan said.

The sound of a wooden bang and a nail rang. From the corner of the village, everything looks very busy. When the sun is above the head, the sounds disappear immediately signifying a time of rest. Liu Huan who was making the roof of the house came down from his place and walked towards the consumption section.

"Liu Huan, here!" ling Xiu cheered within the crowd.

Seeing that, Liu Huan walked up to him while taking the drink that was proffered to him.

"So where's the job?" Ling Xiu asked, curious.

"For the village hall, there was a roof and it looked like it could be used" Liu Huan replied. "Good."

Sipping a drink, the two of them saw the boisterous sight of the working villagers and joked with laughter.

"After helping this village, where are you going?" ask Ling Xiu.

"Hm... I honestly intend to go to the land of the rising sun," Liu Huan replied.

"Well, what if I go with you?" haggar Ling Xiu's.

Bruphs!

"Huk, uhuk, seriously?" tanyanya.

"Yes, seriously," Ling Xiu replied steadily.

"Then, what about Ling Er?" ask Liu Huan.

"You know, that kid is very dear to the villagers, after all he himself told me to go with you," Ling Xiu replied.

"Hm... Is that so. If you don't mind, go ahead" Liu Huan replied.

Hearing Liu Huan's words, Ling Xiu became spirited.

"Good, then please cooperate, buddy," Ling Xiu said as he thrust his head towards Liu Huan.

"Ready," Liu Huan replied as he returned Ling Xiu's head of hand.

At that moment, Liu Huan had never thought that he would see such a warm and comfortable atmosphere. In his previous life, he had never cared about the state of the world, he was among the people bullied at school and very rarely gained affection.

As they were engrossed in talking, Ling Er came along with the consumption section people who were carrying the main meal. The food was placed on banana leaves that were lined up to several meters.

"Come, let's eat together" they told the others.

While walking beside Ling Xiu, Liu Huan thought to himself, "It turns out that my efforts to save them all came to fruition. Unlike back then when I was left alone helpless"

Seeing his brother and Liu Huan approaching, Ling Er immediately rushed to provide a place while waving his small hand, "Sister! Over here."

"Yes, big brother came," Ling Xiu replied.

They all sat together like a family. With food made to be together, the atmosphere became so warm and cozy.

At that time it looks funny and fun at meal time. Liu Huan who was beside Ling Xiu did not seem to want to eat a little. The two of them were competing to finish the food that was in front of him. Sometimes Liu Huan stole from Ling Xiu and sometimes Ling Xiu also stole from Liu Huan. Seeing the behavior of the two of them made everyone laugh. With the music brought by one of the residents, they all enjoyed the food with pleasure.

"I can't anymore" lamented Liu Huan.

"Same, there's too much I've eaten already," Ling Xiu added as he held onto his bloated stomach.

"Because of you, why not eat slowly anyway?" canda Ling Er brought two drinks.

"It's drinking first, slowly," he said as he handed the drinks to Liu Huan and Ling Xiu.

To ease their full stomachs, the two of them sat in chairs that had been made to take shelter from the scorching sun.

After a moment of leisurely time with food and drink, Liu Huan and Ling Xiu's gaze turned towards the villagers who had returned to work building the village. They seemed busy with their respective tasks, some were repairing the road, some were cleaning the irrigation canal, and some other villagers were building new buildings.

The villagers were full of enthusiasm, although most of them worked in the traditional way and used simple equipment. They use hoes and shovels to repair roads, repair waterways, and clean up village neighborhoods. Some of them use wooden planks to support the walls of the new house they are building.

Despite looking tired due to the hot weather, the villagers still work hard and continue to be excited. They work together and help each other, regardless of social status or age difference. Some villagers were seen smiling happily, as if the smile was expressing gratitude as their village was being rebuilt and getting better than before.

After a few days of work, finally the damaged village slowly began to look better than before. Liu Huan and Ling Xiu got up from their seats and went back to work.

As a parting gift from Liu Huan, he took out a paint he obtained from the system for completing the previous mission. "See this, the early-stage sword technique: Variation Cloud,"
