The typhoon warning was upgraded from yellow to red.
A red alert indicates that there are at least level 12 gales on the ground in Z city.
Zhao Changqing held his daughter in one arm and He Youyou in the other, staring intently at the television with a serious expression.
The typhoon is about to make direct landfall in Z city.
He Youyou looked around.
The doors and windows have been reinforced.
When she was renovating this villa, she had a windproof steel door made.
Z City is a coastal city in southeastern China, and it experiences countless typhoons and rainstorms every year.
Necessary defensive measures must be taken.
"Hanzhang, don't worry. The doors and windows of my house can't be destroyed by a category 12 typhoon, unless it can be uprooted and blow the whole house away."
As soon as he finished speaking, the television suddenly made two crackling sounds.
Then, the picture disappeared and the TV screen went black.
He Youyou was dumbfounded.
Ah, this...
Was the fiber optic cable blown off?
She and Zhao Changqing exchanged a glance.
"Youyou, don't you think the wind outside seems to have stopped..."
He Youyou agreed: "Yes, it stopped very suddenly."
Something unusual must be going on.
The two of them walked to the front gate at the same time, wanting to go out and check the situation outside.
Unexpectedly, as soon as they reached the entrance, they felt as if there was an invisible barrier in front of them, preventing them from going out.
He Youyou gasped.
She was familiar with this situation.
She silently turned to Zhao Changqing: "Hanzhang, we may no longer be in the original world."
Zhao Changqing's pupils dilated: "You mean...we're going back to Dagan?"
He Youyou shook her head: "Not necessarily, it's also possible to travel to other worlds."
"Then hurry up and take me out to see the world!"
He Youyou was worried about him going out alone: "I'll go too. If we encounter any danger, I can bring you back immediately."
"Then... what about Laifu?"
Zhao Changqing glanced at his daughter on the sofa, expressing his concern.
He Youyou gritted her teeth: "Take it with you."
Zhao Changqing picked up his daughter and left the space hand in hand with He Youyou.
Suddenly, a huge statue of Guanyin appeared before my eyes.
His appearance was dignified and solemn, and his face was compassionate.
The place where the three of them were located resembled a Buddhist temple.
"Where is this?" He Youyou looked around the interior of the Buddhist hall.
Zhao Changqing breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Guanyin's empty hands.
A surge of joy welled up in his heart: "Youyou, let's go back to work!"
He Youyou asked blankly, "How did you know?"
Zhao Changqing pointed to Guanyin's hand: "I broke the vase in Guanyin's hand, and it hasn't been restored yet."
He Youyou suddenly remembered the sign that read "Zhao Changqing is not allowed to enter".
"Master Mingzhen's temple?"
Zhao Changqing nodded.
As the two were talking, they suddenly heard footsteps outside.
A refined-looking middle-aged monk walked in.
Having not seen each other for two years, Zhao Changqing was somewhat emotional and quickly went to greet him.
"Royal Uncle!"
Master Mingzhen was slightly taken aback when he saw them, but he did not show much emotion.
He said calmly, "You're back?"
Zhao Changqing was stunned: "Uncle, did you know I would come back?"
Master Mingzhen invited them to sit down to the side.
"After you disappeared, His Majesty came to me to draw lots. The lot read: 'Water flows a thousand miles but always has a source; things lost from their homeland will eventually return.' This lot signifies that what is lost will be returned, but I never expected..." A hint of tenderness rose in his eyes as he looked at Laifu, "You even have a child now, which is double happiness."
Laifu sat on the futon, grinning and laughing as he looked at Master Mingzhen.
Mingzhen's heart softened, and she turned to ask Zhao Changqing, "Has the child been named yet?"
Zhao Changqing respectfully said, "Take it, name him Zhao Wenzhi."
Splash—clack-clack—clang-clang—
A loud noise suddenly came from the side.
Everyone present was astonished.
They all looked toward the source of the sound—
Laifu was holding a corner of the tablecloth in his hand; the other end of the tablecloth was a mess.
Various offerings, incense burners, incense ash, candles, ever-burning lamps, lamp oil, fragrant flowers and fruits... were scattered all over the ground.
An apple rolled all the way to Master Mingzhen's feet.
The child actually tore the tablecloth off the altar...
Feeling guilty, He Youyou put her hands together and said, "Master, the child was ignorant, I'm sorry, I will make it up to him."
Master Mingzhen looked at Laifu quietly, his face revealing neither joy nor anger.
Which character is 祉?
Zhao Changqing quickly replied, "The 'zhi' in 'blessing' or 'well-being'."
"good."
After uttering that word, Master Mingzhen turned and ran away.
When Zhao Changqing and his family left, they saw that there was another line of text on the sign at the front gate of the main hall.
Zhao Changqing is not allowed to enter.
Zhao Wenqi was also not allowed to enter.
Zhao Wenzhi was also not allowed to enter.
He Youyou couldn't stand it anymore.
She tugged at Zhao Changqing's sleeve: "You should repair this Guanyin Hall as soon as possible. Also, recast the Guanyin statue and gild it. Don't worry about the cost, put it on my tab."
The family of three slowly descended the mountain.
Upon reaching the foot of the mountain, they hired a carriage and headed straight for the official residence of the Grand Secretary of the Wenyuan Pavilion.
The first person they met was Cheng Tingrui.
When Cheng Tingrui saw He Youyou, his eyes were fixed on her, and for the first time in his life, his handsome face showed a silly expression.
Zhao Changqing stepped forward and blocked his way.
He reached out and shoved the child into his face: "Master Cheng, look at your sister."
Cheng Tingrui was startled by the child in front of him.
