...
Without his junior sister's help, Ye Liang would have had a tough time completing the next three tasks.
Fetching water doesn't mean going to the nearby lotus pond to get water for drinking.
We need to fetch water from a cleaner mountain spring.
However, our young master, who is pampered and spoiled, has never carried water before.
This is not just a matter of lack of physical strength; rather, using a carrying pole is a skill-intensive activity.
Only farmers who are used to carrying water can handle this carrying pole. With two buckets of water, they will only sway from side to side and cannot walk at all.
It was his junior sister who helped him carry it over on a shoulder pole.
Just like the song goes, two monks carried water to drink.
The task of cleaning the courtyard is not simply a matter of sweeping the floor; it begins with cutting green bamboo and making brooms.
Without his junior sister's help, Ye Liang wouldn't have been able to complete it.
The same applies to watering the vegetable garden. Without his junior sister helping him fetch water and introducing him to the vegetables, he wouldn't have water to water or vegetables to water.
After doing all this, the young master was very tired and weak. He was so tired that he could hardly straighten his back, but he felt very satisfied.
Especially when I come back, the aroma of braised meat filling the air makes me feel even more satisfied.
Ye Liang's wild boar meat was braised by his second senior sister, Su Qing, in the afternoon.
We'll have meat for dinner tonight.
Ye Liang, who had been working hard all day, was really hungry.
In the evening, everyone gathered at the dining pavilion, facing a table full of delicious dishes.
Stir-fried shredded pork with bean sprouts, stir-fried greens with wood ear mushrooms, and braised tofu with minced pork.
Such a dish is something that most people on Earth have never even seen, let alone eaten.
His life was far too luxurious; such home-cooked meals were a rare treat for him.
He ate quite a lot today.
Not to mention, he also ate a pig's trotter, which his second senior sister Su Qing had just braised that afternoon.
Yang Ting also took a bite.
The two, one big and one small, ate with great relish and joy.
This made the eldest and second eldest sisters feel extremely satisfied.
"Eldest sister, try this pig's ear. It's not greasy and tastes delicious." The second sister also served food to the eldest sister, urging her to eat more of the delicious braised pig's ear.
"Junior sister, you should eat too." The eldest sister also put a piece on her second junior sister's plate, urging her not to forget to eat as well.
The two exchanged a smile, and then each began to eat in a relaxed manner, chatting and laughing at the dinner table.
Ye Liang also experienced the happiest night since he came into this world.
Even though the night was dark and windy with no moon, Ye Liang didn't mind.
Once you've eaten and drunk your fill, in this world, without television or entertainment, all you can do is go to bed early.
Ye Liang was tired from working and was exhausted early on, so his junior sister Yang Ting took him back to his room to sleep.
We also need to fetch water for him to wash his feet, undress him, and cover him with a blanket before we can consider Ye Liang settled.
Otherwise, Ye Liang wouldn't even know how to get onto the wooden bed to sleep.
What a pampered young master who needs to be waited on in everything!
However, the junior sister didn't have many complaints.
After settling Ye Liang down to sleep, the guy fell asleep in no time.
Then, at that moment, the second senior sister also came to see them.
The junior sister gently shushed him, afraid that her second senior sister would wake Ye Liang, and whispered, "This guy, he chopped firewood in the morning, and in the afternoon he carried water, watered the vegetables, and swept the courtyard. He's really tired. Second senior sister, look at him, he fell asleep as soon as he touched the bed."
"You've worked hard too. Now that you've taken good care of your junior brother, you should go back to sleep." The second senior sister was relieved to see that Ye Liang had been settled, and she also told her junior sister to go back and rest.
Afterwards, the two went out together, helped Ye Liang close the door, and then went back to their respective homes to rest.
At midnight.
Ye Liang was sleeping soundly when he was suddenly pulled out of bed and dragged outside.
Ye Liang was still dazed when he vaguely heard his junior sister's anxious voice say, "Ye Liang, run! There's a fire!"
"Fire? Fire?" Ye Liang was still half asleep when he suddenly woke up and staggered after his junior sister as they ran outside.
As soon as he ran into the courtyard, he saw that the woodshed, which he knew best and was near the mountain gate, was already ablaze with flames.
"This isn't an accidental fire! Someone set it on fire!"
Because Ye Liang also saw that the roof of the house where he slept was also on fire.
The fire there was clearly made from arrows wrapped in oilcloth, lit and then shot at, trying to set the houses on fire.
"Yes. Ye Liang, it was the bandits! It must have been them! There's no one else but them! Last time they attacked our sect, we were driven back thanks to the divine weapons you strengthened for us. This time, they must be afraid of our divine weapons, so they deliberately set fire to retaliate." Senior Sister Yang Ting cried anxiously.
Although she possessed some cultivation, she was still just a young girl. When faced with such a major event, she naturally became anxious and lost her composure, and couldn't help but cry.
When a girl sheds tears, she looks so helpless that it breaks your heart.
As a man, Ye Liang immediately couldn't help but comfort her, saying, "Don't cry, don't cry, I'm here. I'm here. They won't get away with this."
Hearing this, Yang Ting really wanted to say, "What's the use of you? You're so useless. You can't even dress yourself or wash your feet. You need someone to take care of you. You haven't even opened your meridians yet. Do you think you can go fight bandits?"
However, at this moment, facing Ye Liang who was so worried about her and so concerned about the sect's needs, she couldn't bring herself to make such a joke.
She simply hummed in agreement, then obediently followed Ye Liang, standing beside him, both to follow him and to protect him.
Because she was holding a sword in her hand, the Qingfeng sword was already drawn, clearly because she was worried that bandits would break in and kill her.
When that time comes, she will fight to protect Ye Liang.
He might even kill someone to protect Ye Liang, or worse, he might be unable to defeat his opponent and be killed by them, sacrificing himself.
For the first time, the young master suddenly realized that a world without laws and with bandits is truly cruel, and that a person's life has absolutely no guarantee.
In the world on Earth, while there are always ruthless criminals who want to kidnap him, and he does worry, he still knows that walking down the street occasionally won't be too dangerous. Ordinary people who see him won't immediately think of robbing him; they'll only think of taking a picture of him and posting it on social media.
Although the Earth is dangerous, at least it doesn't make people feel like their lives are hanging by a thread.
But it will happen here.
At this moment, Ye Liang felt exactly that way.
He disliked this world where he could only watch his lovely and respected junior sister shed tears, and live in constant fear.
At that moment, a determination to change everything arose in his heart!
