The sun is rising, and the sun is shining brightly...

On the low mountain, Ye Lian looked at her father in surprise.

"My Uncle Feng, he... He's been to the outside world!" Ye Lian's tone revealed incredulity, obviously a little surprised. Because in Ye Lian's impression, Ye Feng is a very low-key person, and this low-key person is the only person in Yejia Village who has been out of the mountains for decades, which is inevitably a little unbelievable in Ye Lian's opinion.

"That's right, your Uncle Feng went out twenty-four years ago and came back four years later. And with one person, that is your Uncle Feng's wife, your current Aunt Tong... Hey, your Uncle Feng wasn't like this before, and no one knows what happened to your Uncle Feng in the outside world for four years? No one asked. When you go out of the mountains this time, you can ask your Uncle Feng about the outside world. Ye Lian's father was still looking at the morning glow in the sky, but his expression was a little melancholy.

"Aunt Tong..."Speaking of Aunt Tong, Ye Lian fell into deep thought, what is Ye Lian's Aunt Tong's real name Yejia Village is afraid that few people know about Yejia Village, but in Ye Lian's opinion, Aunt Tong is a rare beauty in Yejia Village, although she is old, she still has charm, and her gestures are not like ordinary village women, she has the momentum of a rich lady. Now when I hear my father say that Aunt Tong is from the world outside the mountains, everything is easy to explain, that is, Aunt Tong was born in a big family. Ye Lian couldn't help but feel that Uncle Feng's four years outside must not be ordinary.

"It's not early, let's go home, your mother should also cook." Ye Lian's father turned to Ye Lian and said, and after speaking, he slowly walked down the mountain, Ye Lian followed, without saying a word all the way, and soon returned to the village.

Ye Lian's father and son greeted the villagers they met along the way, and when they arrived at home, Ye Lian's mother had already cooked a meal early, and the meal was very rich, filling a square wooden table. In the past, such a banquet could only be eaten during the New Year's holidays.

At the dinner table, Ye Lian's mother vigorously added vegetables for Ye Lian and persuaded him to eat more. Ye Lian's parents didn't mention Ye Lian's departure again, as if they deliberately avoided this topic, Ye Lian also enjoyed this rare opportunity to eat together, and they had a good meal.

......

After eating, Ye Lian took some gifts prepared by his mother and went to find Uncle Feng. And the so-called gifts are just some mountain specialties.

Ye Feng's home is located at the end of Yejia Village, and due to its remote location, there are very few villagers who come here without incident. Ye Feng planted a large bamboo forest outside his courtyard, which was very quiet. Because of his knowledge and the compulsion of his livelihood, Ye Feng opened a private school in the village and taught four or five-year-old children to read and write at home. Most of the villagers in the village are also willing to send their children to read and write to help Ye Feng.

The villagers of Yejia Village are like this, simple and kind, willing to help others.

......

When Ye Lian arrived in front of the courtyard of Ye Feng's house, before she entered the door, she heard a loud sound of reading. It turned out that Ye Feng was teaching the children. Ye Lian walked into the courtyard and saw a woman sitting on a wooden chair washing clothes. I saw that this woman had long fingers, but the slight wrinkles on her face could not stop her delicate facial features, and her skin looked slightly yellow due to long-term farm work. The actions are different from ordinary peasant women, with a special charm. This woman was Ye Feng's wife.

"Aunt Tong" Ye Lian shouted softly at the door.

The woman looked up when she heard the sound and saw Ye Lian, and a hint of surprise appeared in her eyes. "Hey, it's Xiaolian, come to your Uncle Feng? You said you, come here, and take something." The woman got up quickly and met her. I saw that the woman stood up and was about 1.7 meters tall.

"Is there anything wrong with coming to your Uncle Feng?" the woman asked, standing up. With a smile on his face. Ye Lian once learned to read and write with Ye Feng, and Ye Lian's family also took good care of Ye Feng's family. So the two families often have contacts and have a good relationship.

"I... I'm leaving Yejia Village tomorrow to go outside, and I'm going to see Uncle Feng today. Hearing from my father that Uncle Feng had gone out, I wanted to come and ask about the outside world. Ye Lian looked at Aunt Tong and replied.

Hearing Ye Lian talk about the outside world, the woman who was called Aunt Tong by Ye Lian put away her smile, and her face slowly became serious.

"You, have you really decided to go to the outside world?" Aunt Tong asked seriously.

"I've decided, Aunt Tong!" Ye Lian also replied seriously.

Aunt Tong heard Ye Lian's affirmative answer, nodded, and led Ye Lian into the house.

Inside, a middle-aged man is teaching a dozen children of four or five years old how to read. I saw that the middle-aged man was dressed in a washed white robe. He is seven or eight meters tall, with black hair tied behind him, upright facial features, yellow skin, and a ring ruler in his hand. It was Ye Feng.

Ye Feng couldn't help but be slightly surprised when he saw his wife enter with Ye Lian.

Ye Feng's wife, Aunt Tong, who was in Ye Lian's mouth, slowly stepped forward and whispered in Ye Feng's ear. I saw that Ye Feng's expression also became serious.

"Children, that's all for this morning's study, come back in the afternoon!" Ye Feng turned his head to the curious children and said. The children have long been impatient with learning, and when they hear that they don't need to learn, everyone will run away in a while. Ye Feng couldn't help but laugh dumbly when he saw this scene.

......

In front of a desk, Ye Feng was making tea, and his wife and Ye Lian were standing behind him.

"Wow" Ye Feng poured the brewed tea into a cup, turned around and handed it to Ye Lian, and gave himself another cup.

"Sit down, Lian. Ye Feng pointed to the stool behind Ye Lian, while he sat at the desk, and his wife sat beside him.

"Xiaolian, the mountain road is rugged, the outside world is no better than the village, and there are dangers everywhere, have you really decided?" Ye Feng took a sip of tea.

"Uncle Feng, I have a reason why I have to go out, so you don't have to persuade me. Ye Lian sat down and said.

"Okay, then I won't advise you, I also went out in my early years, the outside world is full of opportunities, just be careful. I'll tell you about the situation outside!" Ye Feng drank all the tea in the cup, and said with reminiscence in his eyes.

"The country we are in is called the Tianyu Empire, which covers an extremely large area and is divided into four counties, namely Changping County, Xingyang County, Ruyin County and Huai'an County. Each county has a radius of hundreds of thousands of miles, and our location belongs to Changping County. The Tianyu Empire and the Wenfeng Empire are adjacent to each other, but the two countries are constantly in dispute and the relationship is not friendly. The largest power in the empire is the royal family, and the other forces are also intricate. But there is also a much larger force outside the empire, and that is the Xiuzhen sect. They're real behemoths!"

"Xiuzhen Sect?!What is that?" Ye Lian asked.

"The Xiuzhen sect is a gathering place for monks, and in legends, some monks can reach out and pluck the stars in the sky! That is simply the ability of the gods! But fortunately, the Xiuzhen sect does not ask about secular matters, and perhaps the change of dynasty is just a joke in their eyes......" Speaking of the Xiuzhen sect, Ye Feng's eyes showed a trace of yearning.

Ye Lian was immersed in the vastness of the Xiuzhen Sect, and even Ye Feng stopped speaking before noticing it for a while.

"Xiaolian, when you go outside, you must be careful. You Uncle Feng and I have a reluctant request, I don't know whether to talk about it or not. Ye Feng spoke with some hesitation.

"Uncle Feng, you can open your mouth for anything, as long as I can do it, I will definitely do it for you. Ye Lian said decisively.

"This matter is about your Aunt Tong......" The woman beside Ye Feng heard that it was about her, and her face showed obvious surprise.

"Hey, that's a long story, your Aunt Tong wasn't originally from this mountain! When I went out of this mountain, I traveled around, and then I met your current Aunt Tong who was a female companion and a man in men's clothes, and we went together, and then we fell in love for a long time. But I didn't expect that your Aunt Tong's father was the general Hou Yuntian, and he didn't agree to my marriage with your Aunt Tong, so we eloped and fled back to the mountains. You'll find out later. Ye Feng said slowly in a calm tone, such a dusty past has come to a long time.

Ye Lian heard that his Aunt Tong was actually the daughter of Hou Yuntian, the general of the current dynasty, and not only showed a look of surprise on her face. And Hou Tong listened to all this with a calm expression, as if all this had nothing to do with it.

"I have asked your Aunt Tong to suffer here with me all these years, I feel very sorry for her, although your Aunt Tong does not say it, but I can see that your Aunt Tong has been thinking about her father in her heart, therefore, I want to ask you to bring a letter to your Aunt Tong, which can be regarded as a little compensation for your Aunt Tong. It also makes my heart feel better. Ye Feng looked at Hou Tong gently.

"I have been here with you all these years of my own free will, and life with you all these years is not bitter at all. Hou Tong looked at Ye Feng's eyes, and from his slightly moist eyes, he could see that Ye Feng's words deeply moved her.

"Don't worry, Uncle Feng, Aunt Tong, I will definitely bring it. Ye Lian promised.

"Dad, mother, I'm back" A cry came from outside the house, the voice was crisp and pleasant, like the song of a lark.

Ye Lianying looked at the door, only to see a little girl running in from outside the house, the girl was about ten years old, and she looked like her mother Hou Tong, and she was very beautiful. Dressed in coarse cloth clothes, he held a cluster of flowers in his hand, apparently freshly picked.

The little girl ran into the house, and when she saw Ye Lian, she slowed down and stood there timidly, looking a little restrained.

"Ruyu is back, she has grown so big. It's getting more and more beautiful!" Ye Lian said.

"This kid, I don't know you Brother Xiaolian, so I haven't come to say hello. Hou Tong said with a smile, his eyes were full of love.

"Brother Xiaolian is good" The little girl said timidly, and ran out quickly.

"This kid" Ye Feng shook his head with a smile.

......

When Ye Lian came back from Ye Feng's house, it was already noon.

On this day, Ye Lian's father did not enter the mountain, but just chatted with Ye Lian, talking about his childhood, and chatting very happily. Time flies when it's happy.

......

The next morning, before dawn, on the low hill at the entrance of the village.

Ye Lian was carrying a bag, and behind him were his parents, Ye Lian chose to leave quietly this time, so she didn't tell anyone.

"Child, pay attention to your body outside, don't wronged yourself, huh?" Ye Lian's mother said in a hoarse voice, arranging Ye Lian's wrinkled clothes. His eyes were red and swollen, and he had apparently cried.

"Well, mother, Dad, you should also pay attention to your body at home. Ye Lian also choked up.

"Alright, it's not too early, let's go!!" Ye Lian's father spoke.

"Hmm" Ye Lian looked at the small mountain village that raised him again, and Yejia Village seemed so quiet and peaceful.

Ye Lian knelt on the ground, kowtowed three times to her parents, stood up, and turned to leave.

Ye Lian's parents stood there until Ye Lian's figure was faintly recognizable......
