My sister is Luna

This place is Shushan, a continuous and majestic mountain range that forms a natural barrier. The mountain roads are rugged and unpredictable, but the green mountains remain forever, separating the great river basin behind it from Zhuolu Xuanyong, allowing it to have no worries about its rear.

The famous poet Li Bai once wrote a poem called "The Road to Shu is Hard," which describes the legends of Shu, the difficult journey, and the magnificent beauty of the mountains.

However, once you trek deeper into the mountains, you'll see a completely different landscape.

The mountain scenery is beautiful, with evergreen grass and trees, often shrouded in mist and rain, making it refreshing and pleasant. It also has abundant and rare mineral and timber resources.

Looking out from the mountaintop, one can see a rushing river nourishing this land and eventually flowing into the sea. Especially after the construction of famous natural water conservancy projects, it has earned the reputation of "water disasters are controlled by man, and famine is unknown".

Hidden among towering mountains, the secluded paradise has long been a legend of earthly bliss, making it the ideal retreat for hermits.

Yicheng, a mountain city where mechanical arts blend seamlessly with nature, is a neighbor of Taoyuan not far away. This magnificent building was constructed by the Zhuhou tribe of mechanical artisans, and it has attracted many people to live here. They communicate with each other about mechanical arts without any barriers.

After traversing the Qingtian Road, which was constructed of mechanical devices, Agudo led Cain through a side path into Yicheng with practiced ease.

Having "shown her face" six times, she was considered a familiar face in Taoyuan Yicheng's eyes. If she swaggered in, she would definitely be recognized. This time, she changed her starting point, intending to take them by surprise.

Qiuqiu, his body covered by a black cloth, followed closely behind her.

Cain wanted to see more of this exotic scenery. Moss climbed the eaves, vines hung from them, and morning glories clung to them, creating a pleasant atmosphere like walking along a country lane.

He walked slowly; the beautiful surroundings made him feel very comfortable.

"Cain, hurry up!" Agudo urged.

"I'm coming."

After passing through Yicheng without incident, they arrived at the Heavenly Ladder. Once they passed through here, they could reach Peach Blossom Spring and then get close to the Shu army's granary.

There is a cliff and ravine between Yicheng and Taoyuan, and you have to slide across it using a chain-like ladder to reach the ground.

“There’s a huge statue over there,” Cain exclaimed.

There stood a magnificent statue beside the Peach Blossom Spring across the way, its rough and deep lines outlining its grand and imposing appearance.

Cain vaguely saw a figure above: "There seems to be someone up there, is it okay to go up?"

"They say it's called a cicada. Let's hurry up, we can go there to see the scenery next time."

As she spoke, Agudo jumped up, grabbed a hook, tied a rope around her waist, swung her body forcefully, and slid out.

call out--

"Yahoo!" Agudo exclaimed excitedly, the wind blowing across her face, and Peach Blossom Spring getting closer and closer to her.

"Goo." Qiuqiu slid out just like Agudo.

"This design looks like a trapeze artist," Cain remarked as he followed.

despair!

All three landed safely.

Before us lies Taoyuan Village, the heart of Yicheng.

The house is situated amidst peach trees, their pink and green hues creating a harmonious scene.

The waterfall roars and plunges down, a never-ending melody in the mountains.

Sneaking into Peach Blossom Village, I was not as amazed as I had imagined. Men and women dressed in simple clothes went about their work, with peaceful smiles on their lips, living a leisurely life, not driven by the need to make a living.

"Wang Wang."

"Giggle."

The sounds of chickens and dogs could be heard from one another.

"Haha, come and chase me."

"Selling straw sandals! Good quality straw sandals at low prices."

"This tea is really good."

The old and the young are all contented and happy.

It's lively but not noisy, full of life.

This is almost exactly the same as the description in "The Peach Blossom Spring". There really is such a place, not just a legend. The ancients were right!

Cain, who had witnessed everything, sighed inwardly.

"Kain, can you walk faster!" Agudo urged the leisurely strolling Kain.

"Why do I get the feeling you're not here to rob, but rather for tourism?"

"Alright, alright, I'm here." Cain followed slowly.

After walking a short distance, you will see a huge peach tree standing tall. This old peach tree has lived for an unknown amount of time, and its peach blossoms are beautiful and delicate, with a fragrance that is refreshing and delightful.

Walking under the tree, you can see the Shu army escorting grain. The wooden oxen and flowing horses invented by a famous strategist are carrying bags of grain to the military camp. They are ingenious, hardworking and durable.

"go!"

Agudo's eyes lit up.

They darted left and right with Cain and Ball Ball, eventually making their way to the military camp, where they hid in a warehouse full of grain.

"Ah-gu," Qiuqiu called out, as if asking if it was time to act.

“No, they’re still transporting grain. If we make a move now, we’ll definitely find something amiss.” Agudo waved her hand.

"So what do we do now?" Cain asked.

"Wait."

"You really want to steal grain? If you get caught, the consequences will be severe," Cain warned, seeing that Agudo was serious.

He just wanted to play around with Agudo, he didn't expect her to be serious.

"Don't worry, I've stolen it six times before, this is the seventh time. I'm experienced, and when the time comes, I'll give the signal, and my partners will help us empty this place out," Agudo said, patting her chest.

"If you take all the food, what will they eat?" Cain asked. And the conflict between the two sides would be even more difficult to resolve.

"Huh?" Agudo was taken aback.

Without this food, they wouldn't survive the winter march and would starve to death before returning home... just like us...

"I don't care! Who told them to destroy our village!" Agudo couldn't bear it, but shook her head in annoyance.

“Perhaps there are other ways. Have you tried asking them for help?” Cain asked seriously.

In Peach Blossom Spring, he felt that the people there were quite kind and there seemed to be no shortage of food, so they should be willing to lend a helping hand to Agudo.

Moreover, the Shu army leader was known for his benevolence, so a peaceful resolution would be the best outcome.

This also made Cain realize that much of what Agudo said was only one side of the story.

“They’re all bad people, why should they help us?” Agudo puffed out her cheeks.

She never really thought of asking them for help, after all, her act of destroying the forest had long made her believe that they were bad people, even though the Shu army had captured her six times and released her six times.

"How do you know they're bad people? If they're just destroying the forest, maybe they have a reason. Have you talked to them about it?"

“…I just know!” Agudo turned her head away. Even though they had indeed told her, she still thought they were lying.

Okay, it seems you really didn't talk to the Shu army. You assumed they were doing bad things without any communication. You're such a child.

"Why don't we try negotiating? Maybe we'll get a good result." Cain looked at her hopefully.

"No!" Agudo resolutely refused to listen.

"Ah Gu!" Qiuqiu firmly supports Agudo.

“Alright…” Cain sighed and stood up.

"Why are you standing up? Crouch down quickly, or you'll be discovered!" Agudo tugged at his sleeve and whispered.

Cain picked up Agudo in one swift motion.

"Ah-gu!" Qiuqiu tried to stop him, but was also grabbed by the waist by a reverse hand. The tall and sturdy Qiuqiu struggled to break free under Cain's great strength, like a large plush toy.

"Kain, what are you doing, you traitor!" Agudo was furious.

Cain ignored them and led the two toward the military camp. He couldn't let the little girl who was guiding him cause trouble; problems could be solved through communication.
