Chapter 1

The best may not necessarily be the most suitable for you, the most suitable may not belong to you, but what you create yourself absolutely belongs to you!

"Wow, it's really beautiful, Teacher Huang, Teacher He, look over there, a rainbow, it's really a rainbow!"

"What are you shouting about? I can see it, Teacher Huang and I aren't blind!"

With a roll of his eyes, He Jiong slightly raised his head to face the sunlight, "It is quite beautiful, and isn't this a good start? Teacher Huang~"

"Haha, who could disagree? A rainbow signifies that today will definitely be a beautiful day, a day that will be worth remembering in the future!"

Winding through the small rural paths, the rising and dispersing smoke from the chimneys filled the air with a rich aroma, instantly warming the hearts of everyone.

"I think I didn't have breakfast, right?"

Scratching his head, Peng Yuchang stared at the smoke, which gradually transformed in his eyes into a steamed bun, a fried dough stick, and a bowl of soy milk!

He Jiong, walking in front, turned back and looked at him with a hint of disdain, "Peng Peng, didn't I just give you a tea egg when we got out of the car? How could you have already finished it? If you keep eating, you'll have to consider becoming a character actor!"

"That's fine, being a character actor can be profitable too, at least you won't worry about food and drink!"

Huang Lei, leading the way, turned around and mocked him. He had noticed from last night's meal that this time, Chef Huang was in for a tough time.

"Hehe, I'm still growing, so I'll just exercise more later."

"You better remember that, or your agent will want to kill you if you really become a character actor!"

After a few teasing remarks, their attention turned to the village environment and the passing villagers.

"Hehaha~"

"Remember, when you punch, it must be intentional, with form and spirit. When practicing boxing, you must also practice your skills, and the foundation relies on stance!"

"Raise your fists higher, kick straight, if you can't even perform the basic boxing techniques well, how can you learn more advanced ones?"

As they passed by the village's threshing ground, He Jiong and the others heard a deep, resonant male voice from a distance.

Seeing dozens of children, ranging from seven to fourteen years old, practicing on the threshing ground, He Jiong frowned slightly at the time on his watch.

"The martial arts tradition in this village is very strong, isn't it?"

Curious, they stopped at a distance to watch, with the camera focusing on the surroundings and the young people practicing boxing on the threshing ground.

Perhaps the unexpected visitors disrupted the quiet practice, causing a sudden commotion.

No matter what, both He Jiong and Huang Lei were well-known celebrities in the country, household names.

"Gui Zi, let the children go home for lunch and then to school!"

Waving away the children on the threshing ground, Li Hu strode over to Huang Lei and He Jiong.

The morning sun shining on the massive man gave He Jiong a strange feeling, as if a fierce tiger was approaching.

He involuntarily took a step back, and even Huang Lei and the other crew members felt a chill.

Peng Yuchang, who had been watching silently behind, quickly hid behind He Jiong, too afraid to come out.

"Are you the TV crew the old village chief mentioned, who are coming to film in the village?"

The deep voice instantly snapped He Jiong and Huang Lei out of their daze, and they felt a bit awkward as they looked at each other, seeing the embarrassment in their old friend's eyes.

"Yes, yes, I'm He Jiong, this is my partner Huang Lei, and this is Peng Yuchang. We might be a bit of a bother to you in the village!"

"Oh, right, what should we call you, brother?"

Huang Lei also chimed in at the right moment, sizing up the muscular man with a hint of admiration and respect in his eyes.

As soon as he finished speaking, He Jiong and Huang Lei noticed a change in the man's demeanor, from fierce and imposing to simple and honest.

"Um, I know you. Everyone in the village watches your shows, Teacher He, and the TV series Teacher Huang acts in are very popular too!"

"Oh, right, I'm Li Hu. You can just call me Hu Zi, everyone in the village does. The village chief has already told me, I'll take you to your house!"

Scratching his head and smiling, Li Hu no longer gave off the fierce tiger vibe, more like a cat, which made He Jiong feel a bit disoriented.

"No problem, we'll trouble you, Brother Hu Zi! By the way, we really couldn't find our way here on this road."

"Let's go, it's very close, just up this slope!"

"Alright, everyone, follow us!"

Gently tugging at He Jiong's clothes, Huang Lei was concerned about his dazed state, which wasn't appropriate for a host. He was sweating bullets.

Fortunately, this wasn't a big event, or it would have been a huge embarrassment.

Li Hu led the way, followed by Huang Lei, He Jiong, and the crew, with two crew members filming ahead.

As they walked and chatted, Huang Lei gained a general understanding of the village.

Li Family Village, a very ordinary name!

But this place has extraordinary people, things, and events. The Li Family Village has a history of martial arts that spans several hundred years, and almost everyone, regardless of gender, knows some martial arts.

Moreover, the entire village once participated in the war of resistance, with some veterans who had walked the Long March and others who fought bravely against the Japanese invaders.

After the war, the elders of the previous generations returned to the village, gradually restoring peace and living through more than seventy years.

"I hope we can have the opportunity to pay our respects to these heroes in the future."

Huang Lei's eyes were filled with nostalgia, as if he could see the brutal era again, the entire village joining the resistance without hesitation, and the heroes still shouting in his mind!

"Of course, that's one of the major events in our village." Sensing the sincerity in Huang Lei's words, Li Hu's tone became even more gentle and honest.

Following the small road up the slope, the houses gradually became sparse, surrounded by farmland and vegetable gardens.

"Here we are, this slope is your home from now on!"

Following Li Hu's finger, a beautiful two-story traditional building appeared before them.

"Confucius said: 'Is it not a pleasure to learn and practice what you have learned? Is it not delightful to have friends come from afar? Is it not a gentleman who remains unperturbed even when others do not understand him?'..."

The gentle reading voice drifted into their ears, soothing their hearts.
