After watching them walk away, Dong Niang looked towards the village with concern, "I wonder what's going on at home?"

Jiang Yue asked: "Do you miss your little sister?"

Mrs. Dong nodded. She had watched the Third Miss grow up. This was the first time she left, and she had been away for such a long time. "Don't forget me, Third Miss."

Boss Cheng and his family walked from their wealthy home in Beijing to this remote countryside, and in just a few days they saw what they had never seen in their lifetime.

However, this family was completely conquered by Jiang Yue. Coupled with Boss Cheng's praise of Jiang Yue along the way and the sufficient safety equipment in Wangshan Village, Boss Cheng drove quickly to Wangshan Village without Jiang Yue's urging.

Passing through Xiaochenzhuang, the main road leading to the village was piled with stones and fences, blocking the way in and out of the village. Not only that, there were also villagers patrolling.

Finally returned to the village.

Jiang Youshan counted the days and felt that Jiang Yue should be back soon, so he would stroll around the village entrance every morning and evening.

There were refugees everywhere outside, and Jiang Youshan was a little worried about Jiang Yue's safety. Jiang Yue had been away for more than a month.

When they returned to the village, it had changed drastically. If it weren’t for the reminder of “Wangshan Village” on the big rock at the entrance of the village, they would hardly have recognized it.

At this time, Wangshan Village has a large gate on the east side and a sentry tower on each side. Except for the west side which is directly against the mountain, the other three sides are surrounded by thick stone walls, giving people a full sense of security!

Zhang Cai on the sentry tower saw Jiang Yue from afar and greeted her cheerfully, then asked a boy to go to Jiang Yue's house to report the news.

When Jiang Yue and his group arrived at the village entrance, Jiang Youshan also came out to greet them.

"Yue'er—you're finally back."

"Yeah, Dad, I'm back."

Jiang Yue got off the horse and looked around at the people who came to pick her up.

Jiang Youshan, Wu Da, and Grandpa Cai.

The three men had mud on their feet and hoes in their hands, as if they had run directly from the fields.

"You must be exhausted. Come, let dad lead the horse."

Jiang Youshan took Heifeng and shouted. Heifeng saw the familiar scenery and knew it was time to go home, so he ran towards home happily.

After entering the house, Jiang Xi got out from A Cui's arms and shouted loudly: "Sister, Aunt Dong."

Dong Niang happily hugged her and kissed her again and again.

When Mrs. Cai heard Jiang Xi's cry, she excitedly came out of the kitchen.

He quickly waved to Jiang Yue and ran towards her.

When he came to her, he took a look at her first. He felt relieved when he saw that she was not missing any arms or legs. At this moment, he just wanted to know whether she was safe along the way. He saw that she had become thinner.

Jiang Ming rushed back from outside, saw Jiang Yue raised a silent smile on his face, and walked towards her.

"Big sister, you are finally back. If you hadn't come, I would have been busy to death."

When Jiang Ming met Jiang Yue for the first time, he immediately started talking about the hardships he had experienced in recent days.

He captured bandits, resisted refugees, and developed Jizui Mountain. Jiang Xue was injured and recovered, and he supported her in two battles...

Jiang Yue quickly asked: "What's going on?"

Jiang Ming smiled and said, "Don't worry about this. Wait until you have rested. I have many things I want to discuss with you later."

Jiang Lei ran down the mountain and excitedly showed Jiang Yue his achievements when he saw her. "Sister, is this the 'telescope' or 'clairvoyance' you mentioned?"

"Almost..." Jiang Yue took the tube he handed over and put it to her eyes. "She made glass in one month. That's amazing."

In fact, Jiang Lei's "telescope" is still far behind, not even as good as the children's toy telescopes of later generations. However, that doesn't stop her from praising it first, and she will explain it in detail later.

"Look, brother, you're the only one with high standards. My sister says they're about the same."

Jiang Ming laughed: "Didn't you see that the elder sister took a look at your tube? You should understand 'almost' as 'very different' and continue to study it."

What else could Jiang Lei do? He could only pout and study hard.

Cai said, "Stop bothering your sister, come and wash your hands and eat!"

Cai knew that she was coming back today, so she hurriedly prepared a sumptuous meal. "I'm a little busy today. Tomorrow, I'll prepare another meal for you and welcome you back."

Jiang Yue rubbed her hands, looking delighted, "This is already very good! Hmm, there is mutton?"

At this time, Jiang Lei couldn't wait to open the conversation, "These are all taken from the Western Regions by my elder brother and second sister..."

Jiang Ming helplessly spread his hands and explained: "How can you say it's robbery? This is our spoils of war."

As soon as the topic was opened, Jiang Ming talked about his experience of joining forces with Princess Lingshu's troops to attack the Western Regions twice.

"Those barbarians always bully us and steal so much food. There are still so many people outside who don't have enough food. This time we will give them a taste of their own medicine."

Jiang Yue shrugged to show her understanding, and then asked, "So Jiang Xue was injured?"

Jiang Ming lowered his voice and said, "Yes, she was shot in the leg by an arrow, but Princess Lingshu has already invited the best doctor to treat her. This matter has not been told to my parents, so you must not let it slip."

Wu Da came over to report to Jiang Yue, "Everything that Boss Cheng needs to buy is ready. Does Miss have any other instructions?"

Jiang Yue shook her head, "Eat first. If you can't finish your work, I'll ask you to do it later."

Cai fried a large portion of lamb leg, paired it with wild onions, garlic, and chili peppers. It was neither too tough nor too dry, and tasted fresh and delicious.

"Mom, this fried mutton is delicious."

Cai had suffered all her life. Although Ah Cui took care of the kitchen at home, she couldn't sit idle. Since Jiang Xier grew up, she would cook for the whole family when she had time, which gave Ah Cui some time to relax.

This dish of mutton was cooked by Cai herself for Jiang Yue and was placed in front of her. Others just tasted it symbolically, and most of the rest went into Jiang Yue's stomach.

After eating, Jiang Yue went into the house and turned on the lights. The small house, which had been quiet for a long time, immediately came back to life.

Although I haven't lived here for more than a month, the floor and bed are not dusty at all. The desk and chairs in the room are also clean. Even the bedding on the bed has been dried in the sun.

Cai was still the same as before. Whenever she was not at home, she would quietly help her clean up the hut, and she would rest as soon as she came back.

Jiang Yue opened the window to ventilate.
