Chapter 205: Night and Dawn
Chapter 205: Night and Dawn
Speechless all the way.
Before I knew it, I was back in the courtyard.
Watching the father and son chatting and laughing happily under the setting sun, Su Wu couldn't help but smile.
Su Wu: "Xiao Zhen, put the basket in the kitchen and come inside with me."
"Hua'er, come here too."
Upon hearing this, Li Hua stood up and replied loudly, "Yes, Mother."
Li Zhen strode into the kitchen and placed the bamboo basket filled with sweet potatoes on the stove.
When he turned around and came out, he was taken aback to see Su Wu and Li Hua waiting in the courtyard.
Su Wu smiled and waved: "Xiao Zhen, come here."
Li Zhen nodded and followed.
After entering the house, Su Wu took out a black jade slip from her storage ring.
Su Wu: "This is the Su family's inherited cultivation technique."
"Today, I'm entrusting him to the two of you."
Li Zhen opened his mouth, instinctively about to refuse, "Aunt Su, I..."
Su Wu interrupted him, saying, "Alright, just take it if it's yours."
Whether you can learn it or not depends on your own talent and comprehension.
Li Zhen felt a slight pang of sadness, but nodded. "Thank you, Aunt Wu."
Su Wu turned to look at Li Hua, "Hua'er, Xiao Zhen is your aunt's child."
"Let's have a good get-together tonight. Tomorrow, you can take your cousin back to the Cloud Sky Continent."
"Your father and I will stay here for a while and live a simple life, working at sunrise and resting at sunset."
Li Hua: "Okay."
Li Family Courtyard
As the sun sets, its afterglow lingers on earth.
Before long, the aroma of roasted sweet potatoes wafted from the earthen stove, carrying the unique sweet scent of sweet potatoes.
The courtyard floor was made of bluestone and was spotless.
A beam made of spring wood, a roof covered with thatch, and a small courtyard enclosed by bamboo railings.
Unidentified, bluish-green weeds grew around the bamboo fence, some reaching half a meter in height.
Among the weeds, tiny vines intertwine, climbing along the bamboo fence and blooming with morning glories that are either pink or purple.
The big tree in the center of the yard is as thick as two people can hug, with lush branches and leaves, and clusters of small white flowers.
A gentle breeze carries the delicate fragrance of flowers, bringing a sense of relaxation.
There is a small pond in the courtyard, only about ten square meters in size. The water is clear and sparkling, and red koi carp swim around, splashing water everywhere.
In one corner of the pond, green lotus leaves sway in the wind, revealing pink lotus flowers and fist-sized, emerald-green lotus pods among the leaves.
Under the big tree in the courtyard is a round mahogany table, with round mahogany stools placed around it.
By the time Su Wu, Li Hua, and the other three were seated, the silver moon was already high in the sky.
Tiny fireflies shimmered with a faint, warm yellow light under the night sky.
It was a sight that none of them had ever seen before on the Cloud Sky Continent.
There is also an ancient well in the courtyard, with the wellhead made of bluestone, and the well water is warm in winter and cool in summer.
Su Wu skillfully retrieved the red bean soup that had been frozen in the well.
The red bean soup in the earthenware pot filled four bowls, one for each person.
At this moment, Su Wu was neither the dashing senior sister of the Puppet Sect nor the dignified and courteous general's wife.
At this moment, she seemed as if she had truly grown up in the mortal world, carrying the straightforwardness and enthusiasm of a farmer.
General Li watched with a smile, but as he watched, his vision became somewhat blurred.
Because the children were present, Li Han did not say anything.
Su Wu handed a bowl of red bean soup chilled with well water to General Li, saying, "Brother Han, have a taste. Does it taste a bit like it did when you were a child?"
Li Han picked up the plain ceramic bowl, took a sip, and smiled, "Hmm, that's the taste, no doubt about it."
Li Hua and Li Zhen exchanged a glance and, without prior arrangement, both felt somewhat superfluous.
Sweet and soft sweet potatoes paired with refreshing red bean soup, accompanied by the rustling of leaves in the wind and the croaking of frogs in the distant farmland, create a scene that is both tranquil and lively.
That night, none of them slept or meditated, but listened to General Li recount the interesting stories that had happened in Li Family Village.
Until dawn.
