Lao Jun Cliff is the most magnificent and dangerous mountain in Tianwu.
The mountain is hundreds of feet high; even standing at its foot and looking up, you might not be able to see the summit.
Moreover, one side is densely forested and teeming with wild beasts, while the other side is as steep as a mirror, making it difficult for birds to cross.
It is said that someone once climbed up and spread the word that there was a flat area about an acre in size at the top of the cliff.
It's as if the gods in heaven wanted to settle here, so they deliberately leveled it with swords.
But whether gods really exist, nobody knows.
However, people actually live on the mountaintop now!
A small, exquisite two-story wooden house was casually placed in the middle of the mountaintop.
Two rocking chairs were placed in front of the door, and between them was a small wooden table with an antique teapot on it, from which steam rose.
The marquis, dressed in a long blue cloth robe, came out of the house, sat in a rocking chair, and smiled as he picked up the teapot and poured two cups of tea.
Time flies, and the simple, happy days are the best medicine, easily healing all wounds.
The Marquis's eyes no longer held the coldness and seriousness he had when leading troops; instead, his every move exuded magnanimity and peace.
He inhaled the aroma of tea, gazed at the sea of clouds in the distance, and smiled as if recalling something.
Jiayin came downstairs and sat down upon seeing them, asking, "Does Godfather miss home and Godmother?"
The Marquis shook his head and replied, "No, I didn't. I sent word earlier that your adoptive mother is doing well, so I don't worry about her. It's just that sitting here, looking down at all the mountains, two phrases suddenly came to mind: 'the world changes like the sea turning into mulberry fields' and 'time flies like an arrow!'"
Jiayin couldn't help but laugh, picked up another cup of tea and drank it, replying, "Time flies the fastest. Take me for example. When I first met my godfather, I was not even two years old. Now, in the blink of an eye, I'm already over twenty."
"Twenty years may be a time of great joy and sorrow for us, but in the grand scheme of things, it may be just a fleeting moment."
The Marquis nodded and sighed softly.
"Perhaps I'm getting old, I'm becoming more and more superstitious about fate. I was almost dying from a serious illness when I unintentionally came to your house. Who would have thought that you, a mere young girl, could save my life with just a silver ingot and a dose of medicine!"
"Even now, thinking about it, it still feels amazing. Others say you are a lucky star, but in my godfather's eyes, you are a savior and a lucky star."
Jiayin shook her head with a grin, just as mischievous as she was when she was a child.
"My godfather was so open-minded. He didn't even think I was a monster back then, and he took making a deal with a two-year-old child so seriously!"
"Silly girl, I'm about to lose my life, what do I have to be afraid of!" The Marquis smiled and poured his daughter another cup of tea, then said, "Now, my biggest regret is that I can't go and see your magical little world."
Jia Yin shrugged, a gesture of helplessness on her part.
After the space advanced once again, it truly allowed anyone other than her to enter.
However, there are still restrictions: first, the number of people cannot exceed five, and second, they must be her blood relatives.
In other words, grandma, parents, brothers, and even uncles are all acceptable, but godfather and Mu Xu are not.
Jiayin speculates that this is a protective mechanism, and also implies the continuation of bloodlines...
Looking up at her slightly "sorrowful" godfather, she quickly "invited" her grandmother and parents out of the space.
Grandma Li was holding half a shoe sole in her hand, clearly doing needlework.
Tao Hongying was holding a shovel, with a vegetable leaf still hanging on it...
Li Laosi was in an even worse state, his head covered in foam, but thankfully he was still wearing clothes!
The three of them stared at Jiayin and the Marquis for a long time before Tao Hongying finally snapped.
"You brat, how old are you? Still so clumsy! If you wanted us to come out, couldn't you have gone in to meet us? Your dad was taking a shower just now and almost came out naked and embarrassed himself!"
She brandished the shovel in her hand, as if about to hit her daughter.
Jiayin chuckled foolishly, then covered her head and crawled behind her godfather!
Grandma Li quickly stopped her, saying, "Forget it, forget it. This child is used to taking things, maybe he didn't think too much about it. He'll be more careful next time!"
Li Laosi wiped the foam off his forehead, and the mountain wind made him sneeze loudly.
"Daughter, quickly take your father back!"
Jiayin quickly waved her hand, and Li Laosi disappeared.
Tao Hongying gritted her teeth in anger, but still helped the old lady up and said, "Hurry up and take us inside too. I still have some vegetables cooking in the pot, they'll burn if I don't!"
Grandma Li chimed in, "Yes, my dear girl, Grandma hasn't finished sewing the soles of her shoes yet!"
Jiayin had no choice. She sent her grandmother and parents into her space so that she could take them out for a walk, see the scenery, and save them the hardship of the journey.
As a result, the three of them settled down completely in the space and refused to come out.
My father spends all his time wandering around the fields, orchards, and forests, planting one crop and immediately starting the next.
Grandma completely took over the vegetable garden and the chickens, ducks, pigs and sheep. Just for safety, even the little green snake, which was kept in a cage, was given the good treatment of an egg a day!
Needless to say, nothing edible in the space can escape her big iron pot!
Whether fried, stir-fried, or boiled, everything is incredibly fragrant!
As for making too much, will we be able to eat it all?
This was not even on her radar; if she couldn't finish it, she'd just store it!
My daughter's world is so magical; she can store things there for ten thousand years without them decaying!
It must be said that these three, young and old, were far more adept at exploring the courtyard space than Jiayin was...
Jiayin, having no other choice, quickly said, "I'll be taking the house in a bit. We need to continue our journey, do you have any..."
"No! Go wherever you want! We have no objection!" Tao Hongying waved the shovel with great bravado, but she quickly changed her mind.
"Your grandma is reluctant to use all the good materials you've saved to make shoes. Remember to stop in the town we pass by, and we'll go to the fabric shops!"
"Okay!" Jiayin obediently replied, then quickly put her grandmother and mother into her spatial storage.
Turning back to look at the Marquis, he was laughing so hard he was about to spill his tea.
Everyone in the world is saying that Princess Kang Le is a blessed woman descended from heaven, protected by thunder, and that any idea she comes up with can make people rich.
But who knew that the blessed girl they admired would be so obedient to her mother when she was wielding a rice shovel, and dare not resist in the slightest!
Jiayin tugged at the necklace on her chest and couldn't help but laugh.
At this moment, Mu Xu, dressed in light blue clothes, returned from outside.
Perhaps it was the sudden change in his family that year that had a great impact on him.
After the Li family moved to Quanzhou, he actually experienced a second growth spurt, and now his height is almost matching Jia Yi's, and he has become even more robust.
Five years ago, after finally marrying Jiayin, he was taken by the Marquis's side every day.
The Marquis did not require him to practice martial arts from dawn till dusk, but instead taught him the principles of a gentleman little by little.
Over time, through constant exposure and influence, Mu Xu's roguishness and recklessness have subsided considerably, and he has become more and more like a proper gentleman.
This made the Li family even more satisfied and felt even more sorry for him.
Only Jiayin knew that her bedmate had simply learned how to become someone everyone liked.
But in private, when I'm with her, I'm still unrestrained and carefree.
Fortunately, this is also what she likes.
In this world, there are many people who love her the most, but the person who understands her best and supports her unconventional ideas the most is her husband.
For example, even though she's been married for so long and is over twenty, she still doesn't want to have children, and her family has even secretly tried to persuade her otherwise.
Her husband never said a word about how he was happy as long as she was happy!
Everything else is unimportant...
But she secretly touched her belly and slightly curled the corners of her mouth.
Some surprises are probably already on their way!
"What are you thinking about?" Mu Xu stepped forward and took his wife's hand, then turned to the Marquis and said, "Father, I've tied the rope to the edge of the cliff; it's long enough to reach the bottom. Let's go down the mountain; we won't have to suffer anymore!"
Recalling the process of climbing Lao Jun Cliff, Mu Xu still felt a little apprehensive.
It wasn't that I was too tired, it was just that I had my wife on my back.
One moment she was worried the tree branch would scratch her, the next she was worried that insects or snakes would scare her...
The Marquis smiled and stood up, taking one last look at the mountains and forests shrouded in a sea of clouds, and replied, "Then let's go, the scenery at the next stop is even better."
Mu Xu and Jia Yin laughed. Jia Yin waved her hand to put away the two-story building, and then lightly jumped onto Mu Xu's back.
The three walked to the edge of the cliff and slid down using a rope as thick as an arm...
Life is like this journey; no one knows where the end is.
But every step must leave a solid footprint, and then we will move towards a better future...
(Hooray! It's finished! Thank you so much for supporting me all the way!)
