Chapter 10: The Dense Forest The mountain at night was very quiet, with few bird or insect calls. Occasionally, the howling of wolves pierced the darkness, emphasizing the danger of the wilderness. It was overcast that night, and the moon had long since hidden behind the clouds to sleep. Looking at the dark clouds in the sky, it was uncertain when the crescent moon would peek out.

Chapter 11: Past Events "What strange occurrence?" Xue Qing and Situ Ping asked simultaneously. Hermit Yanming continued: "When the four of us reached the mountaintop with our food and wine in the early morning, just as the sun was rising. When we walked to the only pine tree on the top of the mountain we found that someone had already occupied the place." "It was an old beggar with white hair, a ruddy complexion, and a demeanor like that of an immortal. He was reclining on a stone slab under the…

Chapter 6: Rescue As tears of helplessness fell from Zhang Xiaohua's eyes onto the dusty ground, the heart of the thirteen-year-old boy was stirred with tumultuous waves. He had no time to consider the wickedness of human nature, the ugliness of the world's myriad facets, or to blame others for their weakness and indifference. All he had was a hope for strength, a desire to protect his family with his own power, to shield them from being bullied by these dog-like villains. The punches and kicks falling…

Chapter 7: Returning Home After Wen Wenhai checked everyone's pulse and condition, he smiled and said: "Everyone's health is fine. There is a bit of bruising in your body, and some of you have more severe external injuries. I have some commonly used wound medicine here, especially for treating falls and injuries.

Chapter 3: The Bracelet It was already past noon, and the sun was high in the sky, but because the well had been dug deep, nothing could be seen from the bottom of the well. It was only illuminated by an oil lamp brought down the well. In the flickering light, it was hard to discern the resolve on Zhang Xiaohua's face. After pondering for a moment, he raised his shovel and began digging in a particular direction. ‘Clang, clang…’, the sound echoed continuously. He tried several directions, but the…

Suddenly, from the sky, there flashed something resembling a ring, appearing out of nowhere, so abrupt in its appearance as if it had just torn through the fabric of space and time.
