In the seventh year of the Kangping reign, Emperor Kangping died, and Crown Prince Liu Chengyu ascended the throne, adopting the reign title 'Taikang'.
Not long after, news spread throughout the capital that Duke Zhong Qingyi had died suddenly in his mansion, and his wife and children had disappeared without a trace. Ye Moxun and Song Tantan had always lived a low-key life, and many people did not even know of their existence.
They never returned to Xifeng. Of course, they might have gone back, but no one knows, since their disguise skills are too advanced for ordinary people to recognize them.
The villagers from Songlin Village are also elusive, rarely seen, and few people know where they actually live. Legend has it that they are all doing business, and their businesses are very large, even overseas, and they have made a lot of money.
Ten years later, on an island, Zhu Xiu stood on a rock by the sea with her child, gazing into the distance, when she saw a large ship sailing towards the island.
She laughed and waved vigorously, "You're back! I wonder how many strange and wonderful things you brought back this time. Now that you're back from this ocean voyage, everyone can go back to the inland for a trip, right?"
Eight years ago, Ye Moxun and Song Tantan and their group found this island and discovered that it was rich in resources, with all kinds of fruits and flowers, and enough fresh water on the mountain to support farming.
So they settled here. Accompanying them were Ah Zhu's family, Chun Sheng, Ah Si, Shui Sheng, and others, totaling seven or eight families and sixty or seventy people including servants.
Then Tian Qi and his guards, along with other young men, began firing bricks and tiles, digging foundations, and building houses here. Once the houses were built, they started clearing land and tending to fruit trees and the like. This place served as their secret base.
No one lives in Songlin Village anymore. For some reason, outsiders can't find Songlin Village. Even the three secret guards that Liu Chengyu sent to search for it couldn't find the village again.
It's as if Songlin Village has vanished into thin air.
Two years later, the island had a bumper harvest of grain and a large production of fruit. So Ye Moxun drew up blueprints, took them with him, and sailed to the mainland to have large ships built.
The food and fruit produced on the island cannot be stored indefinitely; they must be transported out and sold. Currently, they are all stored in the space, and if they continue to be stored, the space will be full.
Because the island is by the sea, it doesn't snow in winter. When there's nothing to do in winter, Ye Moxun would take the islanders to the mainland for a few months, and then return to the island after the New Year.
Of course, each time everyone leaves, the number of guards on the island increases to prevent outsiders from intruding, mainly to guard against pirates.
Over the years, Emperor Taikang and Ye Moxun often corresponded. Every time Ye Moxun returned to the mainland, he would send a letter to Emperor Taikang by carrier pigeon. In fact, he didn't really want to talk to the other party, but the other party was always very wary. In order not to make the other party worry and not be able to sleep well at night, he would do a good deed and occasionally reply to the emperor with a letter.
Emperor Taikang told him that Bai Zhiyan had become his imperial concubine, and one of Ye Haohai's legitimate daughters had also become his concubine, making Ye Moxun essentially his brother-in-law.
Ye Moxun: "..." He wasn't interested; there was no need to tell him these things.
Five years ago, Zhong Qingyi, who was in a vegetative state, suddenly woke up, which startled Song Zhuiyan so much that she almost fed him another pill. Fortunately, Zhong Qingyi hugged her tightly and choked with emotion, saying, "My wife, is it really you? I've actually come back, I'm really back. Where are my Heng'er and Shuang'er?"
Song Zhuiyan: "No matter how well you pretend, I won't let you wake up."
"...What are you saying, my lady? What do you mean, wake up?" Zhong Qingyi looked at her with teary eyes.
Song Zhuiyan looked at him, a little hesitant. "Don't try anything funny. Do you think I'll soften up if you pretend to be my husband?"
Song Zhuiyan pressed him down, ready to fight. Although she had taken good care of her husband all these years, she didn't want to see him wake up. After he woke up, that outsider would go to great lengths to harm her and her child.
Zhong Qingyi had been in a coma for five years, only kept alive by the Palace Nourishing Liquid. When she first woke up, she was extremely weak and was pinned down and beaten by Song Zhuiyan, without any power to resist.
He was bewildered and heartbroken.
He finally got back, but his wife not only didn't welcome him, she beat him to death. What did he do wrong? His life is so miserable.
Ye Moxun and Song Tantan didn't dare to be careless either. They tested him for several days until Zhong Qingyi told them everything he had experienced before they believed him.
It turns out that he had been traveling to the modern era all these years. In short, he and the villain swapped places. When he woke up, he was lying on the beach. Later, he climbed to a fishing village and was rescued by the fishermen.
"Are you doing well over there?" Song Zhuiyan asked.
Oh dear, he's having a terrible time. His injuries haven't even healed yet, and the villain's enemies are already chasing after him. If it weren't for his superb martial arts skills, he would have died countless times already.
"Those guns in their hands, I didn't even know what they were when I first passed through. I almost got shot, but luckily I dodged quickly and wasn't hit." Zhong Qingyi said with lingering fear.
Later, he gradually figured out the world he was in and realized that he had traveled to the future. He worked as a fisherman, a porter, and a bodyguard. In short, he did all kinds of jobs to make a living. Although life was tough, it was still relatively leisurely.
"Later, I saved enough money to buy a house in the fishing village. I thought life would continue peacefully like this. I miss you all very much, especially my wife and two children, but I can't find my way back."
One night, a group of people suddenly appeared, surrounded his house, and opened fire on him. He fled to the seaside in a sorry state, and finally fell into the sea after being shot more than a dozen times at the edge of a cliff.
He died, he died in the sea. He saw himself floating out of his body. Suddenly another ghost appeared. Zhong Qingyi recognized that this ghost was the soul of that body.
The man actually tried to stuff him back into his dead body. Zhong Qingyi was not about to sit idly by and fought with him. In the end, Zhong Qingyi's skills were superior, and he kicked the man's soul back into his own body.
