This remark from the old tailor effectively left the yellow weasel without the "seal of approval" it sought! In mere moments, disaster befell it, deflating its once vigorous form like a punctured balloon.The yellow weasel had chosen the old tailor as its target for one reason: the tailor carried a special kind of "cultivation."This "cultivation" was not the kind tied to martial strength in the world of immortals. Instead, it referred to intangible blessings: virtue, incense offerings, and fortuitous…

Jin Wan, standing on the side, felt as if struck by a thunderbolt!His body trembled uncontrollably, and he forced a smile that looked worse than crying. "Mother, what are you saying? You've been making this mutton soup for a lifetime. Everyone still loves it so much. How can you just say you're done, and that's it?"Since even Grandma Sun's own son had spoken up, the young villagers below also began to plead with her to stay, while those of a…

After Grandma Sun was laid to rest, Jin Wan and his family of four locked the door of their old courtyard with a heavy iron lock, packed their belongings, and prepared to leave Lexiang County.Jin Hong sat at the front of a donkey cart, driving it forward. Lian Shuang sat at the back with their son, Jin Xingwang. Only Jin Wan pushed the cart holding the tools for making mutton soup, slowly following behind.“Father, why don’t you ride on the cart? I’ll push it…

“Sir, would you like to try it?”Seeing that Gu Ning’an remained silent, Jin Xingwang cautiously asked.Gu Ning’an smiled and shook his head. “No, I’m not used to this wine. When you leave, take it back home.”Hearing this, Jin Xingwang immediately looked as though he had done something wrong. “Sir, did I say something inappropriate? Please, you must accept this wine! Otherwise, my grandfather and great-grandmother will think I’ve offended you, and they’ll blame me!”Gu Ning’an shook…

The crescent moon shone brightly, reflected on the clear river, its shimmering surface disturbed by the gentle flow of the water.Atop a massive rock in the middle of the river, Hu Shi sat cross-legged, holding a sheet of rice paper and slowly reciting from it.Before him, a large red-tailed fish floated on the water's surface, occasionally releasing bubbles as if in response to Hu Shi’s chanting of the text.When Hu Shi reached the eighteenth recitation, the red-tailed fish suddenly felt an itch in its…

The next morning, the sky was overcast, with scattered raindrops falling to the ground.In front of the Ansi Courtyard, two figures, one tall and one small, stood under a shared oil-paper umbrella.“Grandpa, are we just going to wait again today?” Jin Xingwang yawned, his tone full of sleepiness.Beside him, Jin Wan handed his grandson a wine jar and chuckled. “I’ve already looked into it. Mr. Gu returned yesterday and hasn’t left since.”“With the rain today, if we knock on the door ourselves,…
