"Thank you, Miss." Grandma Zhenzhu said to Xie Yunjiao.
Xie Yunjiao responded, and Granny Pearl continued, "I should thank you. I didn't expect you to come back and bring the real owner back with you.
"In fact, at first I thought you were the owner and that you didn't want to stay and help us," Granny Pearl smiled at Xie Yunjiao and said, "Don't get me wrong, I don't mean to blame you. We've been trapped here for so long because of our own fault. We can't blame anyone else."
So when Jun Yan said those words just now, she didn't dare to say anything more.
She was already very satisfied that Jun Yan was willing to come.
"Don't say that. Even if you did something wrong, all these years are enough."
Xie Yunjiao thought that she was not the only one who felt this way, Jun Yan should have thought so too, otherwise she would not have insisted on coming here even though she knew her body was no longer able to do so.
"This time, you will definitely be free." Xie Yunjiao said.
Grandma Pearl smiled, and the light in her cloudy eyes suddenly brightened, as if a breeze blew across the calm lake, dispersing the mist on the lake.
But soon she seemed to have thought of something, and smiled bitterly. The light in her eyes dimmed a lot, and she said, "I have lived for so long, and I have become one with this place. I don't want to leave here.
I just hope that the younger generation can go out and find their own happiness, and no longer be trapped here."
"If you want to go out for a walk, that's not impossible." Xie Yunjiao said.
"No, we're weird people..." Granny Pearl smiled and said, "Never mind, I came here to tell you that the food is ready, let's all come out and eat."
"Thanks."
Xie Yunjiao called everyone in the house out and saw that Grandma Zhenzhu had prepared rice porridge, fish and other dishes for them. She knew that she had put a lot of thought into preparing these.
"I don't know whether the owner likes to eat these, but the conditions here are limited, so this is all he can eat," said Grandma Pearl.
Seeing the cooked fish, Xie Yunjiao felt mixed emotions.
Fish are delicious, but when I think about the fact that they are protected animals and are becoming increasingly scarce in later generations, I feel a little hesitant to eat them.
"Why, you don't like eating fish anymore?" asked Grandma Pearl.
Xie Yunjiao smiled, picked up a piece of fish, and thought to herself, I'll just eat it if I can, otherwise I'll starve.
"Wow, what kind of fish is this? It's so delicious." Bei Ming took a bite and was amazed.
The others started eating as well, and no one said it was not delicious.
Xie Yunjiao's mouth twitched, thinking to herself, isn't it because this fish is so delicious? If it is eaten in the future, the poor fish will be eaten to the point where the family lineage will be wiped out!
After dinner, Jun Yan was bored and said he wanted to see what they were going to bring up the mountain.
Seeing that the tribe leader and his men had prepared weapons, various foods, and various medicines, she asked, "Will it be dangerous to go up the mountain?"
The clan leader was a little flattered when he thought Jun Yan would take the initiative to talk to him. He said, "Yes, every time I go up the mountain, I am in danger of death. It is very dangerous."
That was also what the previous owner meant, because he didn't want them to be able to go up the mountain so easily, and he didn't want them to be able to crack the secret of the ancient temple and gain freedom.
"You have to be careful tomorrow," the patriarch said after a pause, "but with so many people protecting you, you'll be fine."
Jun Yan responded indifferently and turned to wander around the village.
It looks no different from the villages outside, except that the conditions are a little worse.
Jun Yan walked around and returned to the house. Ye Fuming was already asleep.
She glanced at Ye Fuming's peaceful sleeping face, and couldn't help but raise the corner of her mouth. As long as she was fine.
Ye Fuming heard some strange noises in the room. She opened her eyes and looked around sleepily. She saw Jun Yan squatting on the ground with his back to her, not knowing what he was busy with.
She called out, "Grandma, what are you doing?"
"Did I wake you up?" Jun Yan turned her head and looked at Ye Fuming.
Ye Fuming rubbed his eyes, got out of bed and walked to Jun Yan's side, only to find that Jun Yan was sharpening the sword.
"Grandma, why are you up in the middle of the night sharpening your sword?"
The sword blade was sharpened by her until it gleamed and emitted a cold glow.
Also, my grandmother’s sword is so beautiful. The hilt is made of jade and is completely transparent.
And the blade looks shorter than usual.
"Do you like it? Do you want to try it?"
Ye Fuming had never seen Jun Yan use this sword, and she didn't know when Jun Yan started carrying it with him.
"For me?"
Jun Yan had already handed it to her, so she took it.
"It's so light, lighter than ordinary swords." Ye Fuming said as he waved the sword in the air a few times.
The sharp sword cut through the air, making a pleasant sound.
Ye Fuming said in surprise: "This sword feels great to use."
"This sword is a family heirloom, passed down only to girls and not boys. Your mother used it before." Jun Yan said, with a soft light in his eyes.
Ye Fuming looked at the sword in her hand with surprise. When she thought that her mother had also used this sword, she liked it even more.
"Since I gave it to you, you must take good care of it." Jun Yan said.
Ye Fuming nodded happily and replied, "Of course."
While Jun Yan wasn't paying attention, she couldn't help but whisper, "Giving a sword is much better than that space gate."
She thought Jun Yan couldn't hear her, but Jun Yan heard everything.
She looked at Ye Fuming with a happy face, and couldn't help but smile and shook her head, thinking that this kid really didn't know what was good.
The next morning, they had a simple breakfast in the village and then went up the mountain.
This time, except for the elderly who were not in good physical condition, almost everyone in the village went up the mountain together.
The route up the mountain was the same as before, but this time those things were unexpectedly obedient. They hid in their nests and dared not move.
Xie Yunjiao thought that if things had gone so smoothly last time, they wouldn't have to suffer so much.
However, when they were halfway there and arrived at the place where they had met Alan before, the route became different.
Grandma Zhenzhu smiled awkwardly at Xie Yunjiao. What else did Xie Yunjiao not understand?
In order to avoid the chief and his entourage, they deliberately took a long detour, and that's how they encountered the giant python in the mountains.
But this can be considered a blessing in disguise. After all, they all know what changes have occurred in their bodies after drinking snake bile.
Although there were no monster attacks along the way, the mountain road was still difficult to walk on. In addition, there were so many of them that it took them half a day to reach the top of the mountain.
Arriving in front of the ancient temple, Jun Yan felt a stronger sense of belonging.
"Grandma, come and see, there are many murals in the house." Ye Fuming ran in, took a look around and ran out again with brisk steps and an excited look on his face.
