“It’s possible.” Mu Run leaned on his shoulder, closing her eyes to enjoy the tranquility of the moment. “I really want to take you to see the world I came from. It’s a completely different civilization from here.”
What kind of is it?
"Take this road, for example. The world I come from is straight, flat, and accessible, with roads ranging from tens to hundreds of meters wide, featuring multiple lanes in both directions. Bridges span the sea, bridging natural barriers. There are airplanes that can soar into the sky like a gray eagle, traveling thousands of miles a day, as well as submarines that can traverse vast oceans, and even those that can reach the moon. We live in high-rise buildings, row upon row, equipped with all sorts of electrical appliances, providing warmth in winter and coolness in summer, ensuring comfort and ease. There are also communication tools, allowing us to talk and meet even when separated by thousands of miles. The scenery among the mountains and rivers may lack some natural embellishment, but it is still magnificent and beautiful..."
As Mu Run spoke, she recalled her memories of the modern era, memories she had been suppressing and dared not revisit.
Fu Yunchen found it hard to imagine the civilization she was talking about.
But he knew she was telling the truth.
"Do you want to go back?" Fu Yunchen asked Mu Run.
Mu Run was stunned.
"Perhaps you can return to the world you came from, just as you did when you came here," Fu Yunchen continued. "What will you choose then?"
Should we return to that wondrous civilized world, or stay...?
Mu Run laughed and looked up at his face. "Just like Mother An said, 'If you marry a chicken, you should follow the chicken; if you marry a dog, you should follow the dog!'"
Fu Yunchen was stunned for a moment. He thought she would choose to go back. "You mean?"
Mu Run replied, "You are here, and the children are here too. Unless I can take you all with me, I will absolutely not go back alone."
Fu Yunchen smiled and pulled her into his arms.
His treasure is unique!
...
Another person jumped out of the bushes, holding a wood-chopping knife, and said fiercely to Fu Yunchen and Mu Run, "This mountain is mine!"
"I planted this tree. If you want to pass, leave some money behind." Mu Run finished the rest of his sentence for him. "We are Tiger's friends."
"Oh, then you can go." The robber who was holding the machete put it away and let them pass.
The carriage moved forward, and Mu Run looked back in surprise, only to see that the robber had hidden himself again.
"I thought he was going to try to rob us again."
"These are the rules. Without rules, nothing can be accomplished. If you break the rules, your peers will point fingers at you. A beating is the least of your worries; your life is a common occurrence. For example, in Bianyun Village, there are nine things you can't steal, seven things you can't take, and five things you can't do. Anyone who violates these rules can be executed by anyone."
"I heard from Redmi that one of the rules is not to steal cars from weddings or funerals. Did you follow that rule?" Mu Run pointed to himself, indicating that he was the one who got his car stolen, and it was even a wedding car that was stolen!
Fu Yunchen raised his hand and patted her head, "Good girl~"
"Go away, go away, what rules? They're just high-sounding words. In reality, all crows are black, and each one is blacker than the last."
"...Hahahaha." Fu Yunchen burst into laughter, "My wife is wise!"
Mu Run scoffed, "See you tomorrow, my foot!"
A snake flicked its tongue from the roadside and silently slithered into the grass.
A gopher was munching on wild berries in the grass, unaware of the snake behind it. Suddenly, the snake opened its massive jaws and swallowed the gopher whole!
Mu Run watched this scene and gasped softly.
Just as I was about to say something, a hawk swooped down from the sky and snatched the snake away...
With a sigh, one can't help but think, "This really proves the saying, 'A snake swallows a rat, an eagle snatches a snake—one thing subdues another.'"
