Yin Yin and Ling Long walked along the stream but the road seemed endless. They had not seen a way up the mountain after walking for so long.

However, the scenery along the way was really good. If you want to sum it up in one sentence, it must be ‘hundreds of steps across the bank, full with the poignant beauty of green grasses, fallen petals lie in profusion’.

“Faintly, look at the trees on the side of the path.”

“Trees?” Yin Yin followed Ling Long’s gaze and looked over. “What’s the matter with the trees?”

“These trees were all planted according to the pattern of one peach tree and one apricot tree respectively.” Ling Long looked at the lush trees by the roadside with deep eyes.

“Ah, I know! When you look at this in the spring, the road will be full of peach blossoms; and when you look at this in the autumn, there will be rows of yellow ginkgoes!” She didn’t expect that people in the ancient times had so much experience in urban planning ah!

Ling Long turned his head and faintly glanced at Yin Yin. “What I meant is that these trees were planted deliberately.”

“……so?”

“There should be people living here.”

“……”

She shouldn’t expect Ling Long to think of anything romantic.

But then again, there are still people living under this cliff? Who will be okay to live under a cliff?

……

According to the third law fiction novels, there must be some expert living in seclusion under a cliff.

Yin Yin was suddenly embarrassed. Would they next find a secret martial arts technique that Ling Long will practice to have peerless kung fu?

After that, they, the couple of the Condor Heroes will began to enjoy the carefree and unrestrained life of a wanderer. (from the classic TV film ‘The return of the condor heroes’ based on a novel by Jin Yong)

……Stop.

She believes that Ji Ting was not a fan of Jin Yong, and she will not write such a novel.

After walking for about an hour, Yin Yin was already out of strength. Ling Long helped her sit down by the river and picked some wild fruits.

Yin Yin took a bite of the fruit in her hand. The taste was sour and sweet, which quenched her thirst.

“What kind of fruit is this?” Yin Yin bit the wild fruit in her mouth with a ‘crunch’.

“I don’t know. There are many on the roadside.” Ling Long also took a bite of the wild fruit. Mm, the taste is not bad.

Yin Yin’s heart sank as she watched the fine sweat oozing out of Ling Long’s forehead. They have been walking for an hour and haven’t seen the end of the road yet. It’s no way to go on like this.

In addition, they fell off the cliff. Although they were covered by the protagonist’s halo and will not die, but they were more or less injured. Especially Ling Long who was also poisoned, his body was still very weak, and his fighting strength had dropped a lot. As for herself, she was originally a scum with only a low level of strength.

If there is any danger, the situation will be very bad……

Ling Long obviously thought of this too, but he couldn’t show his worries on his face. Otherwise it will only make Faintly more worried.

“If we follow the river, we will definitely see the people who live here.” Ling Long said softly while looking at the slowly flowing river.

“En.” Yin Yin nodded. There is no other way now but…… “Ling Long, how did you fall down too?”

“……” Ling Long’s face changed subtly. “My feet slipped.”

Yin Yin raised her eyebrows. Ahrara, this Xiao Ling’er was really proud. Ho, ho, ho.

“But why did Du Qianqian pushed you off the cliff?” Ling Long frowned and looked at Yin Yin. Yin Yin’s heart trembled. “This…… I don’t know it either. Maybe her hand slipped ba.”

Ling Long: “……”

“Anyway, don’t have any contact with Du Qianqian in the future. Do you understand?” Ling Long handed another wild fruit to Yin Yin. She took the dark red fruit and nodded, thinking –is Du Qianqian on Ling Long’s blacklist now?

That’s great. Oh yeah.

Alright, she admitted that she was being a villain again.

Yin Yin was about to bury her head and wash her face with the river water when she saw a vague figure on the opposite bank.

“There’s someone!” She grabbed Ling Long’s sleeve excitedly.

Ling Long also looked up to the other side. There was indeed a man with a basket on his back. The man seemed to have seen them too and waved to them.

The man waded over directly from the other side of the river. The surface of the river was not wide and the water was not deep. After a while, the man stood opposite Ling Long and Yin Yin.

“Do the two of you need any help?” The man has a simple and honest face, his eyebrows are thick and dark, and he is the kind of person who can easily win the trust of others.

“We fell off the cliff and were looking for a way up the mountain.” Ling Long replied.

The man looked at Yin Yin and Ling Long for a few moments, then thought and said, “I think both of you are injured and have difficulty moving about. It is not safe to go up the mountain like this. Why don’t you go to our village to rest first? It’s not too late to go up the mountain when you have recovered.”

“Village? There’s a village here?!” Yin Yin was shocked. She had thought before that she would meet an expert living on the outside world, and as a result, a village expert living on the outside world really came!

The man smiled good-naturedly. “Looking at your clothes, the two of you must be from a big family in the capital ba. Our village is small and there are not many people. I hope the two of you won’t dislike it.”

“No dislike, no dislike!” Yin Yin shook her head excitedly. They were finally saved. But Ling Long frowned almost invisibly. He had never heard of a small village under the Yundai Valley.

“I don’t know what your village is called?” Ling Long brought Yin Yin to his side, and looked at the man tentatively.

“Our village is called Baishui (White Water) Village. It’s near here.” The man said and pointed behind him. “That’s right, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Wang Dachui.” (King Sledgehammer)

Yin Yin: “……” =口=

“Is there something wrong with my name?” The man looked at Yin Yin and asked with some doubt.

“Nothing……” Yin Yin straightened her face. “I just never expected that you would be called Wang Dachui.”

Wang Dachui: “……” So, what’s really the problem with his name?

Ling Long saw that Wang Dachui had no internal strength, and it was indeed a little hard to go up the mountain now, so he took Yin Yin and followed him.

“I came here to fish today. The fish in this Baishui River is the most delicious. If the two of you don’t dislike it, you can try the craftsmanship of my wife tonight.” While leading the way, Wang Dachui introduced enthusiastically.

“Sure, sure!” Yin Yin was really hungry. From morning to now, she only ate a few wild fruits. “Then thank you ah!”

“You’re welcome, you’re welcome.” Wang Dachui waved his big hand and smiled honestly.

Following Wang Dachui’s several turn, a small village suddenly appeared in front of Yin Yin and Ling Long.

“There’s really a village.” Yin Yin looked at the peaceful village in front of her in disbelief.

“The two of you, this way please. My home is here.” Wang Dachui led Yin Yin and Ling Long into the village. All the residents there looked kind-hearted. They gave a friendly smile whenever they saw Yin Yin and Ling Long.

“Oh, Dachui, where did you find two immortal-like people?” A middle-aged woman who was drying clothes in the yard saw Wang Dachui and asked with a smile.

“Wasn’t I fishing by the Baishui River? I happened to meet them there. They came from the capital. Look at how well they are raised ah.” Wang Dachui smiled and his two rows of neat teeth looked unusually white in the sun.

Yin Yin thought it sounded strange. Are they going to stew the two of them?

Wang Dachui’s home is just across from this family. It was a very ordinary household with some carrots and small fish being dried in the yard. There was smoke rising from the kitchen. It seemed that someone was cooking.

“Xinghua (apricot flower), I’m back.” Wang Dachui put down the basket on his back and carried it towards the kitchen. “Take a look. I caught a lot of fish.”

“Dachui, you came back so early today?” A woman poked her head out of the kitchen window. She was a very ordinary village woman with a somewhat yellow and rough skin, but she looks very kind and easy-going.

Xinghua saw Ling Long and Yin Yin standing in the yard, and she was taken aback for a moment. Then she wiped her hands on her clothes, and came out from the kitchen to welcome them. “Dachui, why didn’t you tell me that we will have guests? Look at me, I have not prepared anything.”

Yin Yin smiled embarrassedly. “You don’t have to be so formal. It is us who had disturbed you.”

“What are you saying, Girl.” Xinghua took the basket from Wang Dachui, put it aside and walked over. “There are very few outsiders in our village, and there are fewer distinguished guests like you. How can we neglect our guests?”

Xinghua led Yin Yin and Ling Long to sit down inside the house. The furnishings in the room were also very simple, just one bed, one table and a few stools. Xinghua let Yin Yin and Ling Long sit down at the table, and she busied herself with pouring them tea. “This tea is made with water from the Baishui River. It tastes very good.”

Yin Yin took a sip of the steaming tea and sighed from the bottom of her heart. “It’s delicious!” Ling Long also took a sip of the tea in the bowl and nodded in satisfaction.

The corners of Xinghua’s eyes bent and she sat down opposite them. “I can see that the both of you are hurt. What happened?”

“Actually, we fell off the cliff of Yundai Valley, and now we’re looking for a way back.” Yin Yin replied.

Xinghua nodded and said, “The two of you are really lucky. Falling from such a high place, you will have to worry about your life.”

“Haha.” Yin Yin pulled the corners of her mouth and smiled stiffly. It was all thanks to the glory of the protagonist’s halo.

“Why not the two of you stay at my house first? When your injury is healed, I will let our family’s Dachui take you up the mountain.”

“Will it bother you too much?”

“No, no, it is our honour if the two of you are willing to be a guests at our house!”

Yin Yin glanced at Ling Long who was sitting next to her. Ling Long pondered for a while and said, “Then forgive us for disturbing you for a few days.”

Xinghua grinned. “Where is the bother? In our village, none of our lads is as good-looking as this young man.”

Yin Yin: “……”

So, do you now see the importance of face, folks?

“Ah, I’m still cooking in the kitchen. The two of you sit down here first, I won’t disturb you.” Xinghua hurriedly stood up and went to the kitchen.

Wang Dachui was chopping firewood outside the courtyard, and there were only Ling Long and Yin Yin left in the room. Yin Yin’s eyes couldn’t help looking around.

“What do you think?” Ling Long sipped the tea in the bowl and asked Yin Yin.

“Um…… very enthusiastic.” Yin Yin swallowed. “Too enthusiastic.”

“I think so too.” Ling Long put down the bowl in his hand. “This village is not as simple as it seems. At least before today, I have never heard of a Baishui Village.”

There is a paradise like village under the cliff, which is indeed a bit unnatural.

“It is not advisable to stay here for a long time. We’ll leave as soon as we get well.”

“En.” Yin Yin nodded, and then saw a cloth curtain in the room being lifted up, revealing a little girl’s face.

Ling Long also followed Yin Yin’s gaze. The little girl looked dumbfounded, but her eyes brightened when she saw Ling Long. And afterwards, she spat out two words from her pink lips, “Quickly go.”
