As Xie Chennan and Qin Shu stared at each other, the car slowly stopped.
"We're here."
The mother and son came back to their senses instantly and looked at the familiar environment outside the car window.
Yushan Village, they are back.
Qin Hairui opened the car door and said to the mother and child in the car with a smile: "Welcome home."
He faced the back mountain, opened his arms, and said happily: "See, this is all ours. The whole village, the whole mountain, every inch of land under our feet belongs to our Qin family."
Ever since Xie Chennan was bullied in the village, all the villagers of Yushan Village moved away within a year.
In such a big village, only the Qin family is left.
Qin Shu looked at her elder brother who was full of vigor and vitality, then turned back to look at the small Western-style building rising from the ground behind her.
Without other villagers around, the Qin family no longer wanted to integrate into the village and avoid attracting jealousy, so they lived a simple life.
After the villagers moved away, all the houses in the village were demolished and rebuilt.
Small Western-style buildings stand in the mountain village.
Qin's mother, wearing a light green cheongsam, appeared at the door. When she saw Qin Shu, her face was full of joy.
"Ashu is back!"
Qin Shu looked at her young and elegant mother and smiled.
"Mom, I'm back."
She threw herself into Qin's mother's arms and acted coquettishly.
Xie Chennan walked forward and said in a friendly voice: "Grandma——"
"Hey! My eldest grandson is here too!" Mother Qin let go of Qin Shu and took Xie Chennan's hand: "Have you eaten? Are you hungry? Grandma made delicious food for you. I heard that you like Yunzhen's roast goose, so I specially asked someone to buy it back. It's still hot."
"I want to eat, thank you grandma!"
"You're still being polite to grandma. Let's go inside and eat!"
Mother Qin took Xie Chennan's hand and walked into the house, leaving her two children behind.
"Tsk..." Qin Hairui sighed softly: "Mom, now that you have a little one, you've forgotten about us. The power of grandparents is really great. The ancients were honest and I'm not lying!"
Qin Shu raised her eyebrows slightly and jokingly asked, "Why, is Big Brother jealous?"
"How is that possible? I just wanted to say that mom likes Chenchen very much."
"If you and your sister-in-law have a baby, mom will like it too."
"Don't worry. Your sister-in-law and I haven't had enough of our own world. It's not too late to have children when we are in our sixties or seventies."
Qin Shu thought about it and felt that there was indeed no problem in her sixties or seventies.
You have to know that my grandfather didn’t get married and have children until he was in his eighties or nineties.
Qin Shu kicked Qin Hairui's calf and said, "Stop talking nonsense. Hurry up and change your clothes. Come with me to the back mountain."
Qin Hairui took two steps back and patted the footprints on his trouser legs: "Why do you still like to kick people so much?"
Qin Shu had left, but when she heard what he said, she came back and kicked him.
"Ashu!" Qin Hairui got furious.
Qin Shu smiled and said, "Please be considerate. I don't dare to kick Xie Lanzhi."
Qin Hairui was at a loss, his face full of resentment: "Actually, it's okay if you kick him twice, he'll probably be so happy!"
"..." Qin Shu's lips twitched: "I'm afraid I won't live to see the next day!"
If she really kicked Xie Lanzhi, she would be tortured to death!
Qin Hairui raised his eyebrows slightly and urged, "Xie Lanzhi looks like he can settle the matter for you even if you kill someone. It's just a matter of kicking him a few times. Come back and try it."
Qin Shu rolled her eyes: "Forget it, I still want to live a few more days!"
An hour later.
The brother and sister changed their clothes and headed to the back mountain with ease.
On the way up the mountain, they met someone they knew.
You Longlong sat on a rock, holding her knees with both hands: "Sister! I can't climb anymore! I'm too tired!"
You Afeng and his companions turned around and looked at their useless brother, saying unhappily, "I told you not to come but you insisted on coming. You don't have the stamina to keep up and you're holding us back!"
You Longlong's expression darkened as he complained, "Six hours! I climbed for a full six hours. Even a god would be exhausted!"
In order to find out the conditions of the mountain road in advance, he came here first to explore the way and walked the mountain road for three hours longer than others.
You Afeng looked at his brother's pale face, sighed softly, and said to Lingxi beside him: "Master, you go first, Longlong and I will catch up with you."
A fine layer of sweat also appeared on Lingxi's forehead.
He said to the disciples of Mount Longhu, "Why don't we all take a rest here?"
"Okay, eat something to replenish your energy."
When the group was resting, Qin Shu and Qin Hairui, brother and sister, arrived.
"Master Lingxi!"
Qin Shu saw Lingxi, who had a transcendent temperament and a kind of immortal aura, and she was impressed by his outstanding performance.
Lingxi turned around and saw Qin Shu, with surprise flashing in her eyes: "Mrs. Xie is back!"
Before he came to Yushan Village, he knew that this was Qin Shu's hometown.
Qin Shu smiled and walked forward to greet: "I just came back today, what are you doing?"
She looked at the group of people standing or sitting, and found that they were all filled with spiritual fluctuations.
Lingxi pulled a disciple of Mount Longhu and said, "Madam Xie, this is the first disciple of Mount Longhu, Xu Yangxia. We are looking for the entrance to the secret realm, and the treasure he carries guides us here."
Xu Yangxia knew Qin Shu's identity and said respectfully, "Hello, Madam Xie..."
"Hello——" Qin Shu nodded slightly.
She stared at the palm-sized compass hanging around Xu Yangxia's waist.
Qin Shu asked calmly: "What are you going to do now that you have found the entrance to the secret realm?"
She had a vague guess in her heart, which needed to be confirmed by the two people in front of her.
Xu Yangxia and Lingxi exchanged a glance, and the latter said, "Wait until the secret realm is opened, and then go in and find out what's going on."
Qin Shu smiled and asked casually, "Before you went up the mountain, did you check whose land you were standing on?"
Lingxi looked at the smile on Qin Shu's face and had a bad feeling in her heart. She asked tentatively: "No, could this be Mrs. Xie's?"
"That's right." Qin Shu nodded: "Five years ago, the entire Yushan Village, including this mountain that stretches for hundreds of miles, belonged to my Qin family."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present looked embarrassed, and a few even frowned, looking unconvinced.
"Then we can't explore anymore?"
You Longlong, who was exhausted as a dog, spoke up to break the silence.
Qin Shu didn't say anything. She looked You Longlong up and down with smiling eyes and found that the child seemed... changed.
He changed from a wolf cub to a little puppy, and the arrogance and pride in his eyes were gone.
You Longlong felt his scalp tingling when Qin Shu stared at him. He smiled awkwardly and said, "I... I'm just asking. I don't mean anything else."
Xu Yangxia walked up to Qin Shu and clasped his hands together: "Madam Xie, the treasure at the mountain gate led us here. The entrance to the secret realm must be on this mountain. I beg Madam Xie to let us continue to investigate."
Qin Shu was embarrassed and sighed softly: "I'm afraid you want to explore the forbidden area of my Qin family."
This road leads directly to the waterfall on the back mountain, and the secret place is most likely there.
If she allowed these people to go to the Qin family's forbidden area, she didn't know whether the Qin family's ancestors would be so angry that they would pretend to be dead like her grandfather and scold her, the heir.
