"Yeah!" Huaqi responded excitedly.

……

At this moment, the thatched hut, which had long been surrounded by crowds of people, was dimly lit. A few faint rays of light came through the gaps in the thatched roof, barely illuminating a corner of the house.

"Hey, why is this thing broken?" At this moment, a guard in a black robe was seen leaning against a fence made of branches, but he suddenly broke the fence and then said in shock.

"What a crappy road! I've only taken a few steps and my feet are already hurting!" At this moment, a middle-aged man in a black robe was standing outside the thatched hut carrying a huge sedan chair and said.

In fact, what they said was not without reason. The walls were made of rough wooden boards, covered with traces and cracks of time. The house was filled with an old smell, a mixture of damp earth and rotten wood.

The ground was compacted dirt with bumps and you could feel slight ups and downs when you walked on it. In the corner stood a tattered wooden bed with a patched quilt on top of patches, which looked very thin. Beside the bed stood a simple wooden table with an oil lamp on it. The light flickered in the dim environment, as if it would go out at any time.

"what!"

"What's going on here?"

"Why are you all gathering at my door?" At this moment, I saw a white-haired old woman. Her face was full of wrinkles like the ravines of time, deeply engraved on her face, but her face was still kind, like the warm sunshine in spring.

The old woman was wearing a coarse earth-colored dress, the color seemed like the sedimentation of the earth, simple and natural. The linen material was a little rough, but it revealed a simple texture. Her cuffs were rolled up and not put down, as if she had just finished some work.

The basin of freshly washed clothes carried on her waist also added a breath of life to her image.

At this moment, there was a stove on the other side of the yard outside the thatched house. On the stove was a worn-out iron pot, the bottom of which had been burned black. There was some firewood piled next to the stove, which seemed to be very little left. There were some farm tools and fishing gear hanging on the wall...

"Are you sure you want to get up?" Suddenly, a weathered voice came from inside the thatched hut.

"Dong wins!"

"You're injured so badly, is it necessary to do it yourself?" At this moment, Yue Zi said worriedly.

"Don't worry?"

"This kind of thing!"

"How can I not get up?" Dongying suddenly stood up slowly from the wheelchair, but before he took a few steps, he suddenly fell to the ground.

"what!"

"It seems that I still have to rely on you, Senior Gu!"

"Are you okay?" In the blink of an eye, Yue Zi and Bai Lian came over, helped Dong Ying up, and said with a worried and anxious look on their faces.

"Ugh!"

"How about we go instead of you, Dongying." Song Ming on the side was scratching his head anxiously.

"I've told you that you have to rely on yourself for this kind of thing. Even if I can't stand on my legs now, I'm still a master!" Dongying said with certainty.

At this time, a man in a black robe came in from outside the door, pushed the door open and shouted: "Okay, I cured his grandson's drug addiction!"

"Thank you, Brother Gu Mu!" Dong Ying suddenly smiled, as if he was smiling at the air, like a moody person.

"You, mortals don't use our black stones, but you have exchanged a lot of money for them. Just this gold is a full plate!" Gu Mu said jokingly with a puzzled look on his face.

"Let's go!" Dongying suddenly spoke.

No sooner said than done, there was a "crash" sound coming from where Dongying was. It turned out that the tightly closed door was suddenly opened.

In an instant, many mortals rushed out of the door, holding bright red flags in their hands. The flags fluttered in the wind. These people were all dressed in gorgeous black official uniforms with fluttering sleeves. They looked extraordinary and marched in unison, quickly gathering towards Dongying who had just walked out of the thatched hut.

At the same time, two large sedans slowly appeared in people's sight, followed by two, three... Soon, there were as many as five large sedans parked steadily outside the thatched house yard.

This spectacular scene attracted many neighbors from Taohuayuan to gather around, and they all watched everything happening before their eyes with great interest.

At this time, Dongying, holding a heavy plate of gold in his arms, walked to the door of the thatched hut with steady steps. With a smile on his face and a firm gaze, he walked towards the center of the crowd.

Suddenly, he stopped and stood quietly in front of an old woman with gray hair and wrinkled face. The old woman looked very old but in good spirits.

Dongying first bowed slightly and saluted the old woman, then bent down with great respect, took a deep breath, and shouted at the top of his voice: "Auntie, we are back!" His voice was as loud as a bell, echoing throughout the yard, and everyone present could hear it clearly.

At this moment, among the bustling crowd, the old lady with silver hair was standing quietly.

Suddenly, she heard a noise coming from the crowd, so she curiously stuck her head out to look. When she saw the lively, prosperous and festive scene in front of her, she couldn't help but widen her eyes. She noticed that the men in gorgeous clothes were very dignified and looked like important people with considerable status, but their actions were a little puzzling, as if it was not just a simple wedding.

The old lady who heard Dong Ying's loud voice was full of doubts. She hurried forward with a suspicious look on her face and asked, "Young man, I don't know you?"

At this moment, people from Dongying were heard shouting excitedly: "Brother Gu, bring the people up quickly!" Not long after the words fell, a man in a black robe - Gu Mu appeared in front of everyone with a young man.

When the young man walked forward, an unexpected scene happened. The old lady who was standing aside suddenly had tears in her eyes, and the tears rolled rapidly in her eyes like a dam bursting.

Then, she ran towards the young man without hesitation, hugged him tightly, and shouted excitedly: "My grandson! You can actually stand up?"

At this moment, Dongying came up to the old lady with a beaming face and high spirits, and said to her excitedly: "Auntie, you can just put your mind at ease. After our efforts, this little brother's drug addiction has been completely cured!"

When the old lady heard this, she was stunned and her jaw dropped down as if it was about to fall off her face. Her weather-beaten face was full of disbelief, and her eyes were full of suspicion. She stared at Dongying intently, as if she wanted to see a clue from his face. Then, the old lady was extremely excited. Her hands were like iron clamps, tightly grasping Dongying's shoulders, shaking him back and forth, and repeatedly asking: "Really...really? This...is this serious?"
