The stone is right in front of me.

This is the place that Lin Yifeng has dreamed about many times.

Countless nights, Lin Yifeng dreamed that he had returned to Paishitou Village, the village where he was born and raised.

In the dream, his parents and younger siblings were all alive, but they treated Lin Yifeng very badly. They questioned him about why he had disappeared without a trace after graduation and why he didn't come home.

Lin Yifeng couldn't answer.

Sometimes, Lin Yifeng would wonder if he had been brainwashed.

Why would he abandon his country at all costs, desperately flee it, to pursue that elusive dream?

Is it really the influence of his first love, Tang Yuxia?

Perhaps, but not entirely!

If Lin Yifeng himself had no intention of going abroad, he would never have gone abroad with Tang Yuxia.

Moreover, they left the country illegally.

In his past life, Lin Yifeng was obsessed with going abroad after graduation. He abandoned the village where he was born and raised, his parents and younger siblings, and he and Tang Yuxia tried every means to go abroad.

And now.

On the second night after graduation, Lin Yifeng stood outside Paishi Village.

Home is right in front of me.

The parents rested at home.

But Lin Yifeng dared not step forward; he was afraid it was all a dream.

Including his previous life, Lin Yifeng hadn't seen his parents for over thirty years. His emotions were fluctuating wildly, and he was even a little out of control.

Take a deep breath, then take another deep breath.

Take another deep breath.

Lin Yifeng stood at the entrance of Paishitou Village, constantly trying to mentally prepare himself and adjust his emotions.

Fortunately, it was late at night, so Bai Yejin and Zhou Xuelan couldn't see the changes in Lin Yifeng's expression. They could only see that Lin Yifeng suddenly stopped and did not continue forward.

Let's go!

The two words "Let's go" contained a multitude of emotions in Lin Yifeng's mind, representing the past thirty years and his desire to make amends in this life.

Around midnight, the village of Paishi was very quiet, so quiet that there were no dogs barking and only the chirping of cicadas.

The flashlight had long since run out of power and automatically shut off, but fortunately the moon was still quite bright tonight. With the help of the moonlight, Lin Yifeng stepped into Paishi Village.

Lin Yifeng's memories of Paishitou Village are from thirty years ago. After returning to China in his previous life, he learned of his parents' passing and dared not return to Paishitou Village, not even to pay respects to his ancestors.

The only thing he could do in his previous life was to send some money to his younger siblings who were still alive.

Now, he has returned to Paishi Village, as if the past thirty years have been a dream, and he is in a daze.

I know the way, of course.

Lin Yifeng led Bai Yejin and Zhou Xuelan toward his home. Not long after he entered Paishitou Village, the barking of dogs startled Bai Yejin and Zhou Xuelan.

Woof woof woof woof!

In the dead of night, the barking of the dogs was incredibly loud!

"ah!"

"Whose dog is that? It's barking so loudly, it's terrifying!"

The fiery and impulsive Zhou Xuelan was startled, but Bai Yejin, with a glare, put her luggage on the ground, rolled up her sleeves, and was about to give this clueless dog a good talking to.

“It’s my fourth uncle’s dog. His dog is very wild and likes to bark randomly.”

"I've suggested to Uncle Si many times that he kill the dog and stew it, but he just won't!"

After calming down, Lin Yifeng chuckled and said, "Uncle Si's dog is very smart. It definitely won't bark at familiar people. The reason it's barking so loudly now is that it's not familiar with the scents of Bai Yejin and Zhou Xuelan."

"Teacher Lin, you are so cruel!"

"You actually want to kill a dog and eat its meat!"

Zhou Xuelan, who had been so frightened by the dog, actually felt sorry for the puppy. Lin Yifeng scoffed and walked straight towards Xiao Hei.

The dog belonging to the Fourth Uncle is named Xiao Hei.

Although its name is Xiao Hei (Little Black), it is actually neither black nor small.

Xiao Hei was a typical mongrel with yellow fur and a fairly large size. It barked loudly until Lin Yifeng walked over, at which point it tilted its head and looked at Lin Yifeng curiously before stopping barking.

"who!"

"That scoundrel is outside!"

"How dare you steal from your Uncle Lin's house!"

Xiao Hei has stopped calling.

But the Fourth Uncle started yelling!

Uncle Si, wearing only a pair of shorts and carrying a gleaming machete, charged out of the stone house. His eyes darted around as if searching for a thief.

"Fourth Uncle, you should wash up and go to bed!"

Lin Yifeng chuckled and teased Fourth Uncle, "Is this all the stuff you have at home?"

Even dung beetles leave hungry when they come!

"Oh!"

"I thought it was that scoundrel Sun, but it turns out it's the second son's scoundrel Sun!"

Hearing Lin Yifeng's teasing, the Fourth Uncle lowered his guard. He picked up his machete and walked towards Lin Yifeng: "You little bastard, aren't you studying in the city? Why are you back today?"

To others, calling Sun Ze is an insult.

But according to Fourth Uncle, that...

Fine, he's the Fourth Master anyway, so let him call me Sun the thief if he wants. I'm just a grandson in front of him!

"Hey kid, you have two guys following you?"

The moonlight was bright in the middle of the night, but Bai Yejin and Zhou Xuelan were a bit far from the Fourth Master's house, and they were standing in the shadow of a big tree. The Fourth Master didn't realize at first glance that the two people were girls.

But at first glance, he recognized it.

"Two girls?"

The old man was stunned for a moment, then he immediately reacted and excitedly waved his machete: "You little bastard, you're something else!"
