When they returned to the foot of the mountain, everyone had dealt with everything that needed to be dealt with.

Han Qingyun told everyone about the situation in the mountains and mentioned that all the food and money were left to those poor women.

But he said there were only a few dozen taels of silver and some not-so-much food on the mountain.

Everyone was very sad and regretted that they had killed the bandits too easily.

It was already past six in the afternoon, and everyone was tired and hungry after a busy day.

But they really didn't want to stay here, as there were sixty-seven bodies buried nearby.

Just now, when Han Qingyun and the others were not there, a group of people passed by on the road.

Seeing that they were covered in blood, the group of people nervously threw a few bags down and drove away in their cars.

Before they could react, the group ran away.

Angered, Han Hongzhi shouted from behind: "We are not bandits, no!"

Fortunately, the bag contained some food and nothing valuable, so Han Hongzhi gave up.

Everyone just ate the food in their bags.

They wanted to leave here as soon as possible, so they urged Han Qingyun and the others to eat something quickly.

Stay here, they fear.

After walking for another hour, everyone could no longer walk.

Today I have been traveling, fighting, and setting traps to kill people, and I have managed to get here in one breath.

Now that they were far enough away from the buried bodies, they stopped to rest.

No one wanted to cook, and they had to eat some dry food because they were too hungry.

When they stopped at this moment, they just wanted to get some water to wash themselves. Their bodies were covered in blood, which was very creepy.

It was around ten o'clock in the evening when everyone finished washing up and prepared to rest.

The moonlight is exceptionally bright today.

Thinking back on this terrifying day and what Lu Liang and his companions had seen and heard in the mountains, the people from Fengye Village felt that things were not so difficult after all.

Although they had to travel eight or nine hours every day, were tanned by the sun, ate coarse food, drank muddy river water, and had to fight with others from time to time, life seemed to be extremely hard.

But they are still alive.

Compared to the piles of bones on Mount Pulu, compared to the women who were locked up, and compared to the refugees who were pale and emaciated and looked like they were about to die at any time they met along the way, they were already very lucky.

Brother Qingyun said that being alive is the greatest hope.

Soon, the sound of snoring could be heard from the crowd...

The cold stars are moving over the water, and the moon is hanging low over the sand.

In an open space two miles away from where everyone was resting, except Han Huaian, twelve people from the Han and Lu families, young and old, gathered together.

Dalin and Erlin were letting off steam from a big tree not far away.

Qin Gang and his wife vaguely guessed that there was something wrong with Han Huaixi.

But they have long been one with the Lu family, and the four children of the Han family, like Lu Changping and his brothers, are their closest relatives.

They didn't intend to know too much about Han Huaixi's affairs, they just followed the Lu family to protect the child.

So the couple did not go there together, but stayed in the campsite to watch the sleeping Han Huaian.

Lu Youtian originally planned to wait until things settled down before asking about his granddaughter.

But he was also worried that they didn't know anything, and if a similar thing happened again next time, Xiaoxi might be in danger.

Han Qingyun also knew that he couldn't hide it from the Lu family, so it would be better to resolve this matter quickly.

On the way back from the mountain, he made an appointment with Lu Fugui to explain Han Huaixi's matter clearly in the evening.

This is how the two families got together late at night.

"Tell me, what's going on with Xiaoxi?" Lu Youtian spoke first.

"Dad, Mom, do you still remember the monk Xiaoxi met shortly after she was born?"

Lu Yanyan hugged Han Huaixi tightly. Han Huaixi put on a mosquito repellent patch today. The closer he was to her, the fewer mosquitoes there would be.

Of course, Mr. and Mrs. Lu Youtian remembered the enlightened monk.

Not only did they remember it, but Lu Fugui and his wife, as well as Lu Changping and Lu Changan, who were young at the time, all remembered that strange monk.

Lu Yanyan was pregnant with twins that year, and Han Qingyun went to the provincial capital to take an exam before giving birth.

Yu was afraid that her childbirth would be dangerous, so she went to live with Han's family a few days in advance.

The moon was exceptionally bright during the Mid-Autumn Festival that year.

Han Huaian and Han Huaixi were born on the night of August 15th.

The baby started to move at around five in the afternoon, and Han Huaian was born around nine in the evening. Han Huaixi was born two quarters of an hour later than Han Huaian.

Twins are rare, and boy-girl twins are even rarer.

Since ancient times, twins, a boy and a girl, have been considered a good omen.

Not caring that it was a family reunion holiday, Han Hongyuan and Chen excitedly each picked up a child and teased them.

Yu stayed by Lu Yanyan's side, who was exhausted from giving birth.

At that time, Han Mingzhu, the eldest daughter of the wife, was only half a month old.

Han Mingzhu’s birthday is also very good, July 30th is Ksitigarbha Festival.

Han Qingshan naturally cared deeply about his daughter, whom he had been waiting for for many years.

Seeing that Han Hongyuan was happy, he boldly told Han Hongyuan that Han Mingzhu was born on the birthday of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva in Buddhism.

He wanted to invite a monk from Yunkong Temple to pray for Han Mingzhu on her full moon day.

In Fengxi Town, there is indeed a tradition of holding a baby's full-month banquet and inviting Buddhist monks to pray for the baby.

But whether you can get the invitation depends on fate.

Han Hongyuan was really happy that day.

His most beloved grandson Han Huaijin and eldest granddaughter Han Huaiyu both have birthdays in August.

Unexpectedly, on the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Han family welcomed another pair of twins, a boy and a girl.

August is a good month, maybe his youngest son will be able to pass the imperial examination this time.

Han Hongyuan was so happy that he agreed.

On August 30th, Han Mingzhu held her full-moon banquet. Han Hongyuan asked the dean of the academy to invite Monk Liaowu from Yunkong Temple.

As the in-laws of the Han family, the Lu family went to Han Mingzhu's full moon banquet.

Monk Liaowu looked at Han Mingzhu in the cradle and praised the child for his good looks, saying that he would be rich and powerful, but that he would have a disaster when he was four or five years old.

Han Qingshan asked Liaowu for help to resolve the situation, but Liaowu muttered mysteriously, "Those who survive a great disaster will surely have good fortune in the future. Don't worry, benefactor."

After Liaowu performed the customary ritual for Han Mingzhu, he was about to leave.

But just after taking two steps, he saw Han Huaiyu in Chen's arms and Han Huaijin sitting next to Chen.

At that time, Han Huaijin had just turned four years old and Han Huaiyu was just two years old.

The two children were as beautiful as the boys and girls under the seat of Guanyin.

Monk Liaowu stared at the two children for a long time, muttering "Strange, strange."

Han Hongyuan asked anxiously what was so strange.

Liao Wu said, "These two children both have excellent facial features, but they also have the appearance of being burdened by their closest relatives. I'm afraid it will be difficult to raise them."

Chen was furious when she heard this.

Han Mingzhu, the eldest wife, is very rich and powerful, but her grandchildren are said to be difficult to raise.

Even the Lu family members were extremely displeased when they heard this and advised Monk Lewu to be careful with his words.

Liaowu suddenly spoke up and said he wanted to see the newborn twins.

Ever since Monk Liaowu came to the Han family, no one has mentioned the matter of twins, a boy and a girl.

This realization is like foresight.

Han Hongyuan was a little worried, so he asked Chen to take the twins out.

Although Chen was unhappy, she still took the twins out because it involved her own grandchildren.

Liaowu first looked at Han Huaian, who was held by Mrs. Liu, and then at Han Huaixi, who was held by Mrs. Chen. He looked a little frightened, but he quickly hid it and sighed, "This family has four wonderful children. What a pity."

Lü Youtian was worried and couldn't help asking, "What's so sad about these children?"

"Such a beautiful face is hard to come by, and all four children in this family have extremely precious features. Unfortunately, they all died young."

When Yu heard this, she almost fainted.

The Lu family was indignant when they heard this, but they did not dare to scold the man. They just asked if there was any way to resolve the situation.

Chen couldn't help but curse.

"What kind of wizard is this? He's just a charlatan hired by that heartless Han Qingshan. His children are destined to be rich and powerful, while his brother's children are destined to die young. You have ill intentions in cursing your brother's family like this."

The honest Han Qingshan kept waving his hands and said, "No, I didn't. It wasn't me who invited you."

However, Liaowu stared at Chen, first whispered "strange", and then pointed at Chen.

"The disaster is yours! You appear kind but are cruel. If you don't correct yourself quickly, you will bring disaster to your descendants. Your son is a very talented person. If you don't accumulate good fortune, I'm afraid he will only be able to achieve this in his life."
