The new mission of the CEO of the Miraculous Doctor after traveling through time
Chapter 44: Paradise
In the deep mountains, as the last masked robber fell to the ground under the fierce attack of Mo Tong and Yu'er, this thrilling battle finally came to an end. Ye Chen raised his chin slightly, his eyes flashing with majesty, and ordered calmly in a general's tone: "Return to the camp." Mo Tong and Yu'er nodded in tacit understanding, and then led the way. I saw that the combined jade pendant exuded a mysterious halo. Under the reflection of this light, the stone door covered by ancient vines and vegetation slowly opened, as if opening a door to another world.
When they stepped into it, they saw an amazing picture. The blue sky and white clouds spread out overhead like a huge scroll, and a few thatched cottages were scattered in an orderly manner. The farming scene was full of the breath of life. There were no modern high-rise buildings here, but instead there were courtyard houses with gray tiles and white walls. The antique buildings looked particularly peaceful under the sunshine. Compared with the paradise described by Tao Yuanming, this place seemed to have added a bit of mystery. The mist gradually dissipated, and a shepherd boy rode slowly on a cow. The shepherd boy was dressed in blue and white, with a simple smile on his face. The purity and simplicity between people permeated the air.
In this dreamlike paradise, people's clothing is unique. Most men wear blue shirts, which seem to be made of natural linen with a simple texture. Some of them have simple cloud patterns embroidered on their cuffs, while others have a circle of exquisite piping on their necklines. A dark cloth belt is tied around the waist, which is used to hang a small saber or a pouch embroidered with exquisite patterns. Women prefer light colors, such as light pink, goose yellow, and light blue. Their dresses are simple but elegant, either with a short top and a long skirt, and the hem flutters with their light steps; or a long robe, which hangs from the neck to the ankles, and is graceful when walking. Their hair is either tied into a simple bun, fixed with a wooden hairpin, or braided into exquisite braids, and decorated with a few small flowers picked from the mountains.
The people here have unique living habits. In the early morning, when the first ray of sunlight shines on the gray tiles and white walls, curls of smoke rise from the chimneys of every household. Housewives are busy in the kitchen, cooking with earthen stoves, and simple pottery tableware is placed on the stove. Breakfast is usually some bread made of coarse grains, paired with homemade pickles. After breakfast, the men carry hoes and drive cattle to work in the fields. They follow the ancient farming methods, turning the soil, sowing, and weeding. Every action is full of awe for the land. Women weave cloth, embroider in the yard, or draw water from the well to wash clothes. While working, they chat with their neighbors, and laughter echoes in the yard.
At noon, people would take a short break in the fields or under the shade of trees in their yards. They would take out dry food from the cloth bags they carried with them and have a simple lunch with mountain spring water. In the afternoon, children would play on the paths in the village, some would fight each other with homemade wooden swords, and some would play games like skipping rubber bands. The elderly would sit on the stone benches at the door, basking in the sun, gently shaking the palm-leaf fans in their hands, and telling those ancient stories.
In the evening, people who have worked all day return home, and the family sits around the table to enjoy a sumptuous dinner. The dinner includes freshly picked vegetables from the fields and eggs from home-raised chickens. After dinner, people light oil lamps. Under the soft light, women do needlework by moonlight and lamplight, while men share their experiences of the day with their families. There is no noisy nightlife, no feasting and revelry. People here go to bed early and get up early, following the rhythm of nature. Every day is simple and fulfilling, and every detail of life reflects the purest love for life.
In this paradise, the villagers lead a peaceful life every day. However, the arrival of Ye Chen and Meizi is like throwing two stones into the calm lake.
The moment they stepped into the village, the villagers' eyes were focused on them. Their eyes were full of curiosity and surprise, as if they had suddenly discovered two bright stars in the darkness. The children stared at them with their eyes wide open, holding the corners of the adults' clothes with their little hands, looking up at them intently. The adults opened their mouths slightly, and the doubts in their eyes were like clouds and mist.
"Look, they are so beautiful, just like the characters in the paintings." A white-haired old lady was the first to exclaim.
An old man next to them squinted his eyes, looked at them carefully, nodded slightly, and agreed: "That's right, they really look a bit like General Lei Wei and Princess Qiu Chan in the painting."
"Really, really, that man has an upright posture and an imposing manner, and his aura is exactly the same as the legendary General Lei Wei." A young man said excitedly, his eyes sparkling. As he spoke, he imitated Ye Chen's walking posture and tried to straighten his back, but it looked a little funny.
"That girl is even more beautiful. Look at her eyebrows and eyes, and her temperament. She is exactly the same as Princess Qiu Chan." A woman covered her mouth lightly with her hand and whispered to the person next to her.
In the crowd, a few children were chattering and arguing.
"I think they must have run out of the painting." A little girl with two pigtails said innocently.
"No, no, maybe they are gods." A little boy retorted, shaking his head like a rattle.
Meizi blushed slightly when she heard these comments. She lowered her head shyly, and one hand fiddled with the corner of her clothes unconsciously. Ye Chen raised his chin slightly, with a hint of smile in his eyes. His back straightened even more, as if he really regarded himself as General Lei Wei. He gently took Meizi's hand, and walked calmly in the eyes of everyone, leaving the exclamations and discussions along the way echoing in the sky above the village.
Yu'er came to the melon field, picked a few fruits skillfully, and was about to share them with everyone. Meizi saw this and quickly stretched out her hand to stop her, saying with the professional sensitivity of a doctor: "Wait, Yu'er, you have to wash them before eating, there may be pesticide residues on them." Yu'er blinked in confusion and said in confusion: "Miss, we have always eaten them directly like this before." The villagers next to her also echoed: "Where did the pesticides come from? We have never seen them before." This little episode made Meizi laugh and cry, and such jokes continued to be staged.
When Meizi was in a hurry to go to the toilet, she searched for a long time in the yard but couldn't find the toilet. Looking at the simple toilet, she frowned and didn't know what to do. Ye Chen habitually wanted to take out his mobile phone to check the Internet in his spare time, but found that his pocket was empty. There was no mobile phone signal here, let alone the Internet. At night, Meizi habitually wanted to turn on the TV to watch the news or TV series to relax, but there was no TV here, only the dim oil lamps flickering slightly. When they wanted to go out to a farther place, there were no cars, only quaint carriages parked outside the yard.
Meizi and Ye Chen began to slowly adapt to life here. They learned to work in the fields with the villagers, feeling the smell of the soil and the sweat. They sat in the carriage, listening to the crisp sound of horse hooves on the stone road, and looking at the beautiful natural scenery along the way. Although there is no modern convenience, they found inner peace here. Ye Chen began to discuss the art of war with Mo Tong, as if returning to the era of war, while Meizi, accompanied by Yu'er, learned ancient medical skills, combining modern medical concepts with ancient treatment methods. They started a different journey of life in this paradise. Every day is full of novelty and challenges, and every landscape contains the precipitation of years and the charm of history.
