Clouds in the west were tinged with dusk, casting a dim light over Fushui County. As the town grew darker amidst the lively bustle, the various "eccentrics and extraordinary individuals" who had come in response to the notice gradually made their way into the Chen family’s estate. They were soon warmly invited inside by an elderly steward. Walking along a gravel path through the flower garden, they arrived at a two-story wooden building at the end. Large lanterns were being lit and raised to the eaves.…

Fule District is the residential area where the wealthy gentry of Fushui County congregate. The most famous among them is Landlord Chen. The gate of his courtyard is painted red with copper fittings, and outside, two stone lions squat. Above the gate, a plaque bears the two characters 'Chen Residence’, which are written in radiant gold. Across the street was an archway for the district, with local residents gathered beneath it in small groups. They huddled together in circles, secretly glancing in that…

The sound of copper bells jingled… His body felt light and airy, going up and down. Hearing voices, Lu Liangsheng groggily woke up. Soft sunlight entered his view, and the blurry figures moving around gradually became clear. He could also hear words being spoken. "Liangsheng is awake." "Thankfully, he’s okay." "...Liangsheng, what happened last night? We saw that..." Among the fragmented conversations, the old donkey's "heehaw" could be heard. The young man on its back shook his head, feeling…

[TL_Note: This is from a famous poem: Huanxisha: Compassion for the Deep and Secluded Flowers Compassion for the deep and secluded flowers, Whose home is the melody that never returns? The fragrance enters the curtain, the water reflects the cold mountains. Lonely in the deep boudoir, the fragrant blossoms urge the days, The two swallows still fly, how many times the spring chill.] The clear moon hung high in the sky. As the night wind blew through the long street, the mist rising from the ground…

In the desolate mountains, far from human habitation, the distant darkness was occasionally pierced by the mournful cries of nocturnal foxes. The dilapidated, partially collapsed thatched hut had a flickering fire burning inside. Occasionally, sparks would leap up into the air. Within the hut, the snoring of the eight men was loud, and a few steps away from them, illuminated by the firelight, the youth quietly turned the pages of the book <Emerald Heart Dream Nourishment> in his hands. There was a…

Lan…lanterns? In the desolate mountain wilderness, where would two lanterns descend from the sky? Lu Liangsheng's face turned pale as he took a step back, clutching his <Emerald Heart Dream Nourishment>. Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed that his master, who had hidden in the bag, didn’t seem to have any intention of coming out to help. His retreating footsteps crunched on a dry twig, making a sharp snapping sound. In the next moment, the two lanterns outside drew closer, and with a loud…

For more than ten generations the people in this village have relied on the mountains to feed themselves. Farming and raising livestock are their main duties, so it’s rare to find someone who can read or write. The news that Lu Liangsheng could read and write spread, and after Lu Laoshi’s anger subsided, he felt a bit regretful. After all, his son was his own, and he hadn’t checked thoroughly. What if they went to Yamen and couldn’t argue their case properly? It would not only be embarrassing but…

Gray clouds drifted softly, revealing a half-moon amidst the starry sky. The dense stars twinkled, scattered across the night sky. The mountainside at night had grown quiet, with only the occasional lone wolf’s distant howl breaking the silence. In the still mountain village, the people in this courtyard had already gone to sleep. The small figure with webbed feet stood on the window sill, gazing at the silver-gray starry sky, a beauty that was difficult to describe. It had no name and had never had…

In the early morning, the rooster's crow broke the tranquility of the night. As the sky brightened, Lu Liangsheng got up early, ate his breakfast, and followed Lu Laoshi to the fields. After washing in the peculiar pot of soup from his master, he carried a faint, delicate fragrance on him, not the cloying kind, but a light, fresh aroma. When he swung his hoe, it didn’t seem as laborious as before. Working alone along the edge of the field, the ditches he dug nearly matched the progress of Lu…

Boom! Boom! ….. Kneeling, Lu Erlai lifted his head and then slammed it down again, turning his forehead bright red in a matter of moments. “I beg the Mountain God for forgiveness... I beg the Mountain God for forgiveness... I won't do it again, I truly won’t dare.” Compared to the dizziness and headache, the intense itching all over his body and the excruciating pain from the chicken's feathers being pulled out were the most terrifying. The torment he was experiencing made him feel as if life…
