Chapter 2: New Home After Traveling Through the Book

When Lu Ling'er regained consciousness, she felt a sense of daze. The fear and pain she had experienced seemed to fade away. She was no longer in the underworld, but instead, a feeling both strange and familiar enveloped her. Despite the throbbing pain in her head, the agitation within her and the chaotic memory left her somewhat bewildered. After a period of adjustment, Lu Ling'er finally comprehended her situation.

After waking up, she didn't rush out of the room. Instead, she sat on the bed and slowly sorted out the current situation. She realized that her current identity was the daughter of the Lu family, named Lu Xinling, who had just turned 15 this year and was at the age of marriage.

Lu Xinling has a twin brother, Lu Jingheng, the same age as her, and two younger brothers, Lu Jingming, 14, and Lu Jingwen, 12. The four siblings have been close since childhood, especially Lu Jingheng, who has always been incredibly caring. Lu Xinling, known for her cheerful personality and active nature, often received gentle reprimands from her brothers and sisters for her mischief. However, precisely because of this pampering, she felt a sense of warmth and security at home.

Recalling the past, Lu Xinling couldn't help but marvel at the marvels of fate. When she and her brother, Lu Jingheng, were found by Lu Zhenfeng, the only clues they possessed were their respective longevity locks, each engraved with their birth date and the character "Ling." Her brother's lock had the character "Heng." It was through these two characters that Lu Zhenfeng learned they were twins, a boy and a girl. He named them "Jingheng" and "Xinling," hoping they would grow up safely and healthily.

Although she and Lu Jingheng are siblings, their personalities are very different. Lu Jingheng has been calm and reserved since childhood, and seems to have matured much earlier than his peers, while Lu Xinling is lively and active, often being gently scolded by her brothers and sisters for her mischief.

Lu Xinling was currently in Taohua Village, Leyang County, Nanyang Prefecture, Nanyue Province, during the Tianqi Dynasty. It was a picturesque place, far from the hustle and bustle of society. Peach trees grew thickly around it, and every spring, peach blossoms bloomed across the hills, enveloping the village in a sea of pink blossoms. The air was filled with the delicate fragrance of peach blossoms, bringing a sense of peace and joy.

Although Taohua Village has only about 400 households, it is renowned for its beautiful natural environment and fresh air. Lu Ling'er and her family live at the foot of the village. Their home is built on a stretch of wasteland near a river, covering approximately 50 mu (approximately acres). The wasteland is flat and open, with rolling hills behind and a clear stream flowing in front.

The Lu family lived in a 14-room, blue-brick and tiled house. An ancient well sat in the spacious front yard, surrounded by a solid, heavy stone wall about two people tall. The courtyard, paved with neatly arranged slate tiles, presented a tidy and beautiful appearance, a stark contrast to the other mud-floored courtyards in the village. The house was designed according to the layout of a quadrangle courtyard, with the main hall serving as the core area for the family's daily life and dining.

Lu Zhenfeng and Guli live in the main house, with four side rooms on each side. Each of the four children has a separate room, each with a small bathroom for convenience and privacy. The backyard is more practical, with four rooms for storage and a kitchen in each of the front and back yards to accommodate seasonal needs.

Four independent toilets are built on a small slope east of the backyard. Each toilet is equipped with a wooden water tank. The smooth stone pavement and the water tanks ensure smooth drainage, allowing waste to be flushed directly into the septic tank located further down the hillside, a hygienic and convenient solution. The toilets are also located at a distance from the main courtyard to prevent odors in the summer.

A tile-covered corridor connects the front and back yards, providing protection from wind and rain. Smooth stone paving ensures easy access even on rainy days. A cellar and icehouse are located beneath the ground floor for storing food and supplies. The entire design ensures comfortable living while fully considering the unique environment and the convenience of family members.

Although there was no well in the backyard, Lu Zhenfeng cleverly brought water from the mountain to a reservoir in the backyard, which he used to flush the toilet and irrigate the vegetable patch. Since the backyard was spacious, Lu Zhenfeng specially opened a vegetable patch near the courtyard wall and planted some vegetables and herbs for the family's daily use.

To ensure his family's privacy and safety, Lu Zhenfeng even purchased the entire wasteland. Due to its remote location, some distance from the village, the Lu family was the only household in the area. The Lu family's courtyard covered approximately 10 mu (approximately acres), with a corner gate in the backyard leading to a bamboo forest. Because of its location at the foot of a mountain and by the river, the nearest neighbor, Wang Cuihua, lived a mile away.

Lu Zhenfeng was a village native, while Guli was rescued by him in town. That day, as Lu Zhenfeng was about to deliver his prey to a merchant in town, he saw Guli being harassed by some thugs outside the Fulin Restaurant. The moment Lu Zhenfeng first met Guli, he was captivated by her fresh and refined demeanor. She was completely different from the other girls in the village, radiating an inner elegance that seemed straight out of the city.

Despite this, when he saw Guli in distress, he rushed forward without hesitation to engage the thugs. Lu Zhenfeng's courage was admirable, but he was outnumbered and alone, and he was ultimately beaten, his face covered with wounds and in a state of disarray. Guli, standing nearby, couldn't help but chuckle at the sight of him. Though Lu Zhenfeng grimaced in pain, seeing Guli's smile brought him immense relief.

When Lu Zhenfeng walked up to Guli, breathless, he asked with concern, "Where do you live? I can take you back."

Guli smiled slightly and shook her head. "Actually, I don't even know where I'm from. I fell down a hillside while fleeing and hit my head. I can't remember anything." She added shyly, "Guli is my own name. It sounds like 'encouragement,' and I hope for a good future."

Lu Zhenfeng felt an inexplicable pity in his heart. He was silent for a moment, then his expression turned serious. He looked at Guli and asked, "I don't have a wife or am not married yet. If you don't mind, I'd like to start a family with you."

When Guli heard this, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, and then she smiled and nodded: "Then I do." There was a hint of warmth and expectation in her smile, as if this sudden encounter was destined to bring changes to her life.

In this way, Lu Zhenfeng and Guli began their new life in this peaceful peach blossom village. The tranquility and harmony of the courtyard, like the gradually budding feelings between them, are warm and full of hope.
