The group walked along the path and soon came to a green hillside.

There were tea trees growing together on the hillside, with rows of them undulating like green waves.

This is not the picking season, and the tea trees quietly stretch out their branches and leaves, enjoying the tranquility of the valley and the caress of the sun.

Funina excitedly walked among the tea trees, curiously looking at these plants that seemed exotic to her.

Ying was concentrating on observing the growth environment of the tea trees. She squatted down, looked at the soil at the roots of the tea trees and the weeds around them, and said thoughtfully: "The soil here is fertile, and the humidity and light seem to be just right. No wonder it can produce high-quality tea."

Yae Shinko gently broke off a piece of tea leaf, put it to his nose and sniffed it, narrowing his eyes slightly, enjoying the refreshing aroma.

As the group continued to move forward, the scenery gradually changed after passing the ancient tea tree slope.

In the distance, the outline of Qiaoying Manor began to appear, and the quaint buildings and tranquil atmosphere filled the air.

The architectural style here is slightly different from that of other areas in Liyue, but it is somewhat similar to the Hui-style architecture in Su Xun's previous country, and it pays more attention to harmony and unity with nature.

The white walls and black tiles complement the surrounding mountains and rivers, appearing particularly fresh and refined; the bluestone road extends under your feet, as if telling an ancient story.

There are few pedestrians on the street. Occasionally, you can see a few old people sitting at their doorsteps basking in the sun, or children playing in the alley.

The entire Qiaoying Manor is filled with a leisurely and contented atmosphere, and time seems to have slowed down here.

"Life here is so comfortable, completely different from the bustling Liyue Harbor." Funina exclaimed.

Paimon nodded in agreement: "Yes, it feels like time goes slower here, which makes people feel relaxed."

Ying smiled and said, "Every place has its own unique pace of life. The tranquility of Qiaoying Village is a rare enjoyment for people who are used to being busy."

Just as everyone was about to enter Qiaoying Manor, a clear little girl's voice came from behind them: "Big brother, big sister, are you from outside?"

Everyone turned around and saw a little girl with two ponytails and simple clothes, looking at them with sparkling eyes.

Su Xun smiled and squatted down, looking at the little girl at eye level, and said gently: "Yes, we are from Liyue Harbor. Little friend, what is your name?"

The little girl was not shy, but smiled and replied: "Big brother, my name is Yueyue!"

"You are coming from the city? Have you ever seen a very big ship?" Yueyue asked expectantly.

Su Xun smiled and said, "There are indeed many large ships in Liyue Harbor. Some of the ships are bigger than houses."

Yueyue's eyes lit up all of a sudden: "Wow, that's amazing! I've only seen it in picture books, never in real life. So, big brother, what are you doing in Qiaoying Village?"

"We are here to see the scenery and learn about the local culture. Little sister Yueyue, can you tell us what fun places there are in Qiaoying Manor?" Paimeng came over and asked with a smile.

Hearing this, Yueyue tilted her head and asked in surprise, "Brother and sister, aren't you from the city? There are so many fun places in the city, why do you come to our Qiaoying Village to find fun things? We are just a small village here, and everyone just drinks tea and chats every day. There is nothing particularly fun."

Everyone looked at each other, and then Yae Shenzi smiled and said, "Little girl, what you take for granted may be rare novelties to us. Every blade of grass, every brick and every tile in Qiaoying Manor exudes a unique charm, which is much more interesting than the monotonous and lively things in the city."

Yueyue's eyes seemed to understand, she shook her head and said seriously: "Oh, I see! It's just like Uncle Ye always blames Brother Jiaming, saying that he gave up his good tea business and insisted on doing some kind of animal dance performance, but Brother Jiaming thinks that the animal dance performance is a treasure and must be passed on. Maybe in Brother Jiaming's eyes, the animal dance performance is just like you watching our Qiaoying Manor, it has a different charm."

"Oh? Yueyue, do you know Jiaming? And who is the Uncle Ye you mentioned?" Funina asked curiously.

Yueyue blinked and said, "Uncle Ye is Jiaming's father. He is engaged in tea business in Yilongbu. Jiaming used to go there to help out, but he liked animal dances so much that he formed the 'Mighty Animal Dance Team'. Uncle Ye was very angry, but Jiaming would not listen and insisted on doing what he wanted to do."

Su Xun smiled and said, "Jia Ming's dedication to the animal dance is rare."

Yueyue nodded vigorously: "Yes! Brother Jiaming is amazing. Every time he comes back, he tells us stories about the beast and performs animal dances for us. Although Uncle Ye doesn't like it, we all think it's very interesting."

"Brother and sister, do you also know Brother Jiaming?" Yueyue asked curiously.

Su Xun smiled and replied, "We just watched Jiaming's animal dance performance in Liyue Harbor today. We thought it was very exciting, so we wanted to come to his hometown to take a look."

Yueyue clapped her hands excitedly: "You've come to the right place! Brother Jiaming's Beast Dance Team is very famous here, and he even taught us some simple moves."

As she spoke, Yueyue imitated a few animal dance moves in a very realistic manner. Although her movements were childish, they were somewhat similar to the original.

Everyone couldn't help but laugh at her cute appearance.

Fu Nina squatted down, gently touched Yueyue's head, and said with a smile: "Yueyue is really smart, she learned it so well. When you grow up, do you want to be like brother Jiaming and pass on the beast dance performance?"

Yueyue put her index finger on her lips and thought for a while, then shook her head: "No!"

"Uh..." Furninna was a little surprised: "Why not?"

Yueyue wrinkled her nose and said, "It's too tiring to perform the animal dance. I prefer to learn rattan weaving from Sister Xiaolan!"

Paimon asked curiously, "Who is Sister Xiaolan?"

Yueyue's eyes lit up and she said, "Sister Xiaolan is the best rattan weaving artist in Qiaoying Village! The things she weaves are so beautiful, like little finches, little swallows, little squirrels, and everything else. I often watch her weave rattan, and she also teaches me some simple weaving techniques."

Ying showed an interested expression: "Really? Then Yueyue, can you show us the rattan weaving you learned?"

Yueyue lowered her head a little embarrassedly: "I'm not very good at weaving yet. I only made a few small bracelets. But I can take you to see Sister Xiaolan. She will definitely be able to show you more amazing rattan weaving works."
