After two days of rest, everyone's injuries have recovered. In addition to the medicine brought by Wufu playing a key role, Zhou Sifu also made two trips a day to the back mountain and always managed to catch two wild rabbits or two pheasants, which provided everyone with ample nutrition.
On the morning of the day they were leaving, they caught a small wild boar, weighing about 70 or 80 pounds. The wild boar was knocked unconscious by Zhou Sifu's fist.
As soon as the wild boar was brought back, Sifu asked Xingxing to bring a basin to collect the blood, and they immediately slaughtered and cleaned the wild boar.
Zhao Guihua was both amused and annoyed. "Your second brother can't jump around anymore, but you're the one causing all the trouble. You're really a handful. Luckily nothing bad happened, otherwise what would your mother do?"
Zhou Sifu knew she was worried, so she didn't dare to argue with him. She just chuckled and skillfully chopped the pork into small strips.
The weather is hot, and meat doesn't keep well; it might start to smell bad by the afternoon. Any leftovers need to be marinated immediately and then smoked.
Because they were making dried meat, the Zhou family didn't set off again that day. Zhao Guihua thought that it might not be safe to enter Quanshui Mansion, so they might as well stay here for a few more days until everyone's injuries had healed before leaving.
“I think that’s a good idea. This place is secluded and shouldn’t be easy to find. I feel much better after resting for two days, and I should be almost fully recovered after a few more days,” Boss Zhou said with a smile.
"You won't recover as quickly as you say. You should rest well. Who knows what dangers we'll face once we enter the Spring Water Mansion? You're the pillar of our family. We only feel at ease when you're here. You can't get hurt." Zhao Guihua gently patted his shoulder.
"Wife, I feel so good to hear you say that. I'll protect you and the rest of you even if it costs me my life." Old Zhou grinned foolishly.
"I'm not talking to you anymore, you just keep babbling away." Zhao Guihua turned and went to the yard, where there was a bonfire with a simple rack on top for smoking meat.
Xianwu Island is a remote island across the sea from a fishing village in Quanshui Prefecture.
On a misty, fairyland-like island, several young men and women dressed in white, exuding an air of otherworldly elegance, stood before a cave at the highest point of the island.
"Young Master has been in seclusion for half a year. Why hasn't he come out yet?" The man who spoke had slightly furrowed brows and a hint of worry in his dark eyes. He was tall and slender, and his white robes made him look even more ethereal.
This person was Zhu Qiuyu, the senior disciple of the Immortal Mist Sect. At this moment, three junior brothers and two junior sisters were standing beside him.
Ever since the young master went into seclusion in the cave, these senior brothers and sisters have been coming to guard the cave entrance every few days, fearing that something might happen to the young master.
Unexpectedly, half a year passed in this vigil. The six senior brothers and sisters were very worried about their junior brother, who was not only their junior brother but also the young master of Immortal Mist Island.
Fairy Mist Island is isolated from the world. It is like a fairyland, but it is not a real fairyland. The people on the island are ordinary people, but they generally live long lives. The oldest person on the island lived to be 150 years old, and the youngest person lived to be 90 years old.
So the island has a serious aging population, but the elderly are all very healthy. There are more men than women on the island, and fewer people get married, so the birth rate is low and there are few children.
Since the birth of the young master eleven years ago, no newborns have been added to the island. The young master is the youngest child on the island, but his abilities may be the strongest.
Everyone on Fairy Mist Island knows martial arts, and each one is highly skilled; they are all reclusive masters.
"Boom." The stone door suddenly opened, and a white blur streaked out of the cave.
"Greetings, Young Master." Several senior brothers and sisters bowed respectfully.
"Senior brothers and sisters, there's no need for such formalities. How did you know I was leaving seclusion today?" The young man's voice was clear and cool, like spring water dripping into a mountain stream, quite pleasant to the ear.
"We just happened to be passing by and didn't know you were coming out of seclusion today," Zhu Qiuyu replied with a light laugh.
oh?
Zhu Lin raised his delicate eyebrows slightly. Since that was the case, there was nothing more to say. The immortal-like young man flicked his sleeves and left. With a turn, he became a blur and disappeared in a few breaths.
"Senior Brother, what did you do to upset Junior Brother? He finally came out of seclusion, and I didn't even have a chance to say a word to him." Zhu Changge glared at him and then left with another woman in white.
Only four senior brothers remained, looking at each other in bewilderment.
"I'll go check on my junior brother." Zhu Xichen was the first to chase after him.
The remaining three had no choice but to follow.
Before long, the two senior sisters and four senior brothers arrived at the young master's residence. Before they could speak, the young man announced a decision that shocked everyone present.
"I'm leaving Fairy Mist Island tomorrow, and I don't know when I'll be able to return." This was an announcement, not a request for their opinion.
The sect leader has passed away, and the sect leader's wife has also gone with him. There is no one on the island who can take care of this child. However, he has always been sensible and does not need anyone to worry about him. At such a young age, he was able to manage Immortal Mist Island very well.
He is very disciplined and only eats, sleeps, and is obsessed with practicing martial arts, which makes him very easy to manage.
But what did Junior Brother just say? He wants to leave Immortal Mist Island. He wants to leave as soon as he comes out of seclusion. What is he thinking?
After the initial shock, the senior brothers and sisters exchanged glances, and finally, the second senior sister, Zhu Changge, stepped forward to cautiously probe.
"Junior brother, do you want to go out and have some fun for a few days, and see the world?"
Zhu Lin glanced at her second senior sister and replied in a low voice, "Yeah, just going to have fun." She wanted to hang out with some acquaintances.
"But Immortal Mist Island is far from the outside world, and it hasn't had any contact with the outside world for a hundred years. You know how complicated and cunning the people outside are, and how difficult they are to deal with. Cough, your fourth senior brother has recently been observing the celestial phenomena..."
