Stealing the Pen: Kirin's Primordial Lotus

After leaving Tubo, Zhang Qiling and Hua Yu did not return directly to Peking, but went to travel in the south.

"Brother, I heard there is an ancient Zhang family building in Guangxi. We can go there and take a look."

Hua Yu jumped in front of Zhang Qiling, holding a string of candied haws in her hand, and talked to Zhang Qiling, one by one.

Zhang Qiling was holding some cakes that Hua Yu had bought, and was carefully protecting Hua Yu to prevent him from being hit by pedestrians on the street.

"After we get out of there, we can go to Changsha to visit Uncle Qin and Uncle Di and the others." Hua Yu talked about the next plan. Zhang Qiling stood aside and did not express any opinions.

The two of them traveled along the way to Guangxi. When they met some begging children on the road, they would buy them some hot buns or give them a few dollars so that they could spend the rest of their days in peace.

Although Hua Yu wanted to help them, they did not have much time to spend on these children. They could only help those in need as much as possible so that they could live the life they wanted with their own abilities.

The two spent some time and finally arrived at the small mountain village where the Zhang family's ancient building was located.

The small mountain village doesn't have much contact with the outside world, so they don't know what's happening outside, but they also know that it's not safe outside, so they all hide in the mountains and dare not come out.

Suddenly, they found two young men coming outside and were a little surprised for a moment.

The villagers heard from the village chief that the brothers were hiding from the war outside and would leave when things were peaceful outside.

Zhang Qiling and Hua Yu settled down in the small mountain village, but the place where they lived was still some distance away from where the villagers lived. Hua Yu also sent a message back, telling them not to panic, they were just playing outside for a while and would go back when the time came.

After Uncle Tai received the letters in Peking, he also prepared large and small packages and asked the eagle mail deliveryman to take them back to them. Uncle Tai was worried that his pampered little master would not be able to adapt to the simple life outside.

Hua Yu and Zhang Qiling built a house with the help of the villagers. It was a two-story building on stilts. The second floor was used for living, while the first floor was filled with farm tools and poultry.

There are also some flowers and herbs planted by Hua Yu in the yard. Originally, when villagers got sick, there were traveling doctors to see the doctor. Later, after the war, the traveling doctors disappeared. When they got sick, those with better conditions would take a ox cart to the outside town to see a doctor, while those with poorer conditions could only rely on themselves to get through it. If they couldn't, it meant that their fate had come to an end.

Now, after Hua Yu and his companions came, they symbolically collected some things from the villagers. The villagers no longer had to travel far to see a doctor who might not be cured. The villagers called the two brothers gods who had come to save them.

Zhang Qiling gets up before dawn to patrol the mountains. At the appointed time, he carries farm tools and follows the villagers to learn to go to the fields. He goes back to eat at noon, continues to do farm work in the afternoon or goes fishing. In the evening, he goes home to eat and wash up, then sits in the yard with Hua Yu, drinking a pot of tea and a plate of cakes, enjoying the cool summer breeze and looking at the night.

Gradually, Hua Yu discovered that Zhang Qiling seemed to have a smile on his face. Although it still looked cold and indifferent to outsiders, Hua Yu could clearly feel that his brother was really alive, and his whole body was now radiating light.

The connection that had always seemed vague before had become more solid, and Hua Yu was no longer worried that he would disappear if she turned around.

Hua Yu was sitting in the yard, with a pair of black and white rabbits at his feet that Zhang Qiling had picked up from the back mountain. Behind him was a sea of ​​flowers that he had planted, in front of him were medicinal herbs, and on the stone table were eggs given by the villagers, thanking him for saving the pillar of their family.

That day, Hua Yu was sitting in the yard when she heard a commotion outside. She pushed open the door and saw her brother with his upper body naked and some blood on his body. He was surrounded by a group of villagers who were talking about something excitedly.

Hua Yu went forward to check and found a big wild boar at Zhang Qiling's feet. She pieced together the truth from the words of the surrounding villagers.

It turned out that the villagers' farmland was always destroyed by wild beasts coming down from the mountain in recent days. After hearing about it, Zhang Qiling went up the mountain alone and did not come back until the afternoon.

When Zhang Qiling appeared in front of everyone, he was carrying the wild boar.

When the villagers saw the culprit who always rushed into their farmland and destroyed their crops, they excitedly gathered around Zhang Qiling.

Hua Yu looked at Zhang Qiling who was surrounded, and his whole body was filled with an indescribable pride.

Hua Yu and Zhang Qiling discussed it and decided that the village chief would distribute the wild boar meat. They took the lion's share, and the rest was divided equally among the villagers.

Hua Yu put her clothes on Zhang Qiling and walked back home with Zhang Qiling in the sunset.
