The group rested for two days. Lin the Blind made a few phone calls to get Liu Fang's household registration sorted out before returning to J City.
Liu Fang looked around curiously, but her eyes followed Lin the Blind and Su Tiantian closely.
Back in J City, the Shu sisters parted ways with Blind Lin.
When Shu Wan and Shu Xin came to deliver the reward, they gave them a lot more than they should have—a thick red envelope.
"Master Lin, thank you for saving my sister."
Shu Wan and Shu Xin put all their money into this red envelope.
Lin the Blind took the envelope, weighed it in his hand for a moment, then snorted coldly, took out the amount that belonged to him, and returned the red envelope to Shu Wan.
"Every profession has its rules, and what you say is what you mean. If you have the ability, do more good deeds and help those in need."
After Lin the Blind Man finished speaking, he waved his hand, indicating that Shu Wan didn't need to remember it anymore and could just go back and live her own life.
Shu Wan and Shu Xin nodded solemnly, knelt down and kowtowed three times to Blind Lin before going down the mountain to return.
Liu Fang settled down at Qingfeng Temple. Lin the Blind discovered that she was illiterate, so he asked the village chief to teach her to read.
We'll let Liu Fang go to school after the New Year.
Liu Fang would spend half a day going down the mountain to the village to learn to read, and then half a day returning to the Taoist temple to study magic with Blind Lin.
Lin the Blind was so angry he was practically fuming.
"How could I forget again? Didn't I just say that yesterday???"
Having already had a disciple who was an exceptionally intelligent and perfect evil cultivator, if another normal person came along, Lin the Blind Man's head would explode.
With tears welling in her eyes, Liu Fang choked back sobs as she apologized, "Master, I'm so sorry, hit me if you want, it's all my fault for being so stupid..."
Blind Lin looked up and sighed, "Never mind, you're not stupid, I was just too impatient."
It is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. The ancients were right.
Despite his scolding and words, after venting his anger, Blind Lin would calmly continue teaching, and earnestly say to Liu Fang, "Xiao Fang, the stricter I am with you today, the more ways you will protect yourself in the future, understand?"
"I understand. It's all my fault for being too stupid. I will study hard. One year is not enough, ten years is not enough, twenty years is not enough. I will not leave the mountain until I have mastered it. I will never let the Taoist priest down."
Liu Fang nodded with tears in her eyes; she understood everything she could feel.
Lin the Blind Man reached out and touched Liu Fang's hair: "She's a good girl. Remember this saying: 'There is no end to learning, and diligence is the only way to reach the mountain of knowledge.'"
As long as she has the will to learn, he would have no complaints even if he taught her for a lifetime.
Even the dumbest bird can learn to fly if it studies hard.
With Liu Fang as a comparison, Su Tiantian also learned in a down-to-earth manner. She may take shortcuts ten thousand times, but only by taking the right path and remembering these things can she benefit from them forever.
After the issue with the Shu sisters was resolved, the film crew returned to normal.
Liu Xiaohua is filming non-stop.
As the year draws to a close, heavy snow is falling.
Su Luo is on vacation.
Qiao Lei's treatment has been completed; he only needs to continue taking medication and recuperating.
Su Luo came to live in the Taoist temple.
Hu Fei calls occasionally.
Bai Meng always transformed into a tiger-striped cat at the Taoist temple, sleeping lying down every day.
At night, Su Tiantian's room is occupied by one person, one cat, and one dog cultivating.
On December 29th, Liu Xiaohua finished filming and came over from the set to help Su Luo prepare for the New Year.
Liu Fang quietly helped.
When someone in the village passed away, Blind Lin took Su Tiantian down the mountain to look after the gravesite and chant sutras along the way.
New Year's Eve.
Su Dahai called, and it was lively on both ends of the line.
As the food was served, Liu Xiaohua said with emotion, "This is the first time I've spent the New Year apart from your father since I married him."
Deep down, I still have these strange thoughts.
Liu Xiaohua secretly decided that she must finish filming before the end of the year. She couldn't keep filming forever; one film a year would be enough.
This way I can spend more time with my family.
She pursued her hobbies while also taking care of her family.
"Mom, there's still a long road ahead. This year was just an accident."
Su Luo smiled and comforted Liu Xiaohua.
It was because the filming schedule coincided with that heavy snow that Lu Chen made the actors stay over the New Year.
The filming wrapped up on the 29th, and there was no way to get back in time.
But there's a month-long holiday after the New Year, so you can go back after the holiday.
"You're right. It will be so much more lively when our whole family celebrates the New Year together."
Liu Xiaohua nodded with a smile; she was just expressing her feelings.
Lin the Blind prepared red envelopes and gave them to Su Tiantian and Liu Fang.
Su Luo also prepared red envelopes and gave them to Su Tiantian and Liu Fang.
Liu Xiaohua prepared red envelopes and gave them to Su Luo, Su Tiantian, and Liu Fang.
After dinner, Su Luo gave Lin the blind acupuncture, while Liu Xiaohua and Liu Fang tidied up.
Su Tiantian set off fireworks with Heimi and Baimeng in the yard.
Bai Meng and Hei Mi both dislike loud firecrackers, but Su Tiantian happens to love them.
Bai Meng's ears were all flattened.
"Sweetie, fireworks are so pretty! That doesn't suit your cute personality. Be good, don't play with that!"
Bai Meng offered kind words of advice.
Black Rice made a whimpering sound and covered its ears with its paws.
He was of low intelligence and still retained an instinctive fear of loud noises.
That loud 'bang' really scared the dog.
Su Tiantian shook her head firmly: "No, I want to play this. You guys go back to your room."
She enjoys having fun, but she doesn't force her friends to enjoy playing with her.
Bai Meng and Hei Mi both ran into the house.
Bai Meng kept hitting the tail of Hei Mi.
"You brat, you never listen to reason!"
Black Rice tucked its tail between its legs and whimpered pitifully.
Bai Meng snorted coldly: "Stupid dog, why aren't you cultivating? If you can't beat others, you can only be beaten by them, understand?"
Su Luo came out quickly and joined Su Tiantian in setting off firecrackers.
The mother and daughter were all smiles.
Liu Xiaohua shooed Liu Fang out, saying sternly, "This is the last time to wipe the table. I can do it. You go out and play for a while. If you're afraid of firecrackers, set off fireworks. They're fun."
"Grandma Liu, I don't like playing..."
Liu Fang instinctively shook her head to refuse.
But the next second, Liu Xiaohua warmly hugged him: "Silly child, who doesn't love to play? No matter how your family treated you before, in our family, children should play. When you grow up, you won't have time to play anymore. Look at Tian Tian's mother, she has so much to do in school."
Liu Fang's nose tingled, and tears streamed down her face.
"Go on, and remember to keep the money safe. You'll need it when school starts next year. You're older than those kids. If they laugh at you, just buy them some candy, and they'll all recognize you as their leader."
Liu Xiaohua gently patted Liu Fang on the back.
Liu Fang nodded with tears in her eyes. Ever since she came to Qingfeng Temple, she had been warmed. Her world had finally ushered in a warm spring.
She loves this place so much, and she loves Master Lin, Su Tiantian, Grandma Liu, and Aunt A Luo.
When Liu Fang arrived in the courtyard, Su Luo immediately saw her. She smiled and went to Liu Fang's side, slipping a handful of sparklers into her hand.
"Your aunt will light it for you."
Su Luo gently lit Liu Fang's sparkler with a match.
Su Tiantian was having a great time lighting firecrackers with matches.
The year has passed just like that.
