Back in the village, only Second Aunt was home at Second Uncle's house. It was still early to cook, so Zhou Yaya and Tu Jinsha went to do other things.

Zhou Yongcheng carried several large bags of peaches into the house, took out a few, washed them, and then went out to hand the peaches to his busy second aunt.

"Second Aunt, try this peach. I got it from someone else."

Auntie wiped her hands with her apron, took the peach Zhou Yongcheng handed her, and started eating.

"Is this a peach? It tastes so different from a peach, but this peach is really delicious, better than any fruit I've ever eaten."

"I brought a few bags back and put them inside the house."

"These peaches are so delicious, they must be very expensive."

"It's not expensive, it's just a little more expensive than regular peaches."

After chatting with his second aunt for a few minutes, Zhou Yongcheng arrived at the newly built house.

The construction team not only repaired the house, but also poured concrete on the courtyard as Zhou Yongcheng requested, and built a retaining wall behind the house so there was no need to worry about a collapse.

I went inside the house and saw that everything was done according to Zhou Yongcheng's requirements.

The interior decoration wasn't very fancy; it was just a very ordinary renovation. Zhou Yongcheng felt that there was no need to be so particular about rural houses.

After leaving the house, Zhou Yongcheng contacted the foreman and settled the remaining payment.

Walking down from the village, Zhou Yongcheng arrived at the small river ditch. All the people who were building the dike had come up there; the dike below was already completed.

The embankment below is not very wide, and although it is high, it is not very tall, at most ten meters or so. With a large number of people, it can be built quickly.

The height of the upper dam is at most one-third that of the lower dam, but the width of the upper dam is wider than that of the lower dam, so the amount of work involved in its construction is not much different.

The dam above is about one-fifth complete, and everyone is still working hard to build it.

However, there are many more people working on site than last time, and the progress is much faster. It may only take a few days to complete the construction.

"Yongcheng, the house is all done, shouldn't we have a celebration?" Zhou Guoyao said.

Zhou Guoyao is Zhou Yongkang's father and Zhou Yongcheng's cousin.

"If we don't do it, we won't get much money, and it'll just be a hassle."

In Jiaxing Village, it's common to hold a banquet when building or buying a new house.

Besides the lively atmosphere, the main purpose of hosting a banquet is to collect money as a gift.

The more money you give as a gift, the more you receive in return. Zhou Yongcheng hasn't been home for years, and his relatives have long since become estranged and haven't contacted him.

When the village holds a banquet, he always asks his second uncle to send a gift if he is notified. He doesn't send gifts to other places unless he is not very familiar with them. So if he holds a banquet, he is afraid that only villagers will attend, and he will only receive a few thousand yuan at most. Although he doesn't care about the money, he doesn't want to worry about it.

"Yongcheng, is it true that you can buy back the cattle and sheep at a premium after they are sold?" Zhou Guohong asked.

He was somewhat surprised to see Zhou Guohong also helping to build the dike.

When did Uncle Guohong get back?

Zhou Guohong and his family of three all work away from home, while his daughter-in-law Wang Hui stays at home to take care of the children. Unexpectedly, he actually came back.

"I just got back a few days ago. I came back as soon as Xiaohui told me about you."

"What I said is true, of course. I helped Yongqiang sell the cattle he raised."

"That's good. It's really too difficult to work outside. At our age, basically no one will want us. If we can find a job to support our families back home, we don't want to go out anymore."

“It’s alright. As long as you’re diligent at home, raising ten or so cows should be a little better than working outside, after deducting costs. If you’re not afraid of hard work, raising a dozen or twenty cows will definitely be better than working outside,” Zhou Yongcheng said with a smile.

The people building the dam included both men and women; they were all good at accounting and knew the costs and profits of raising cattle.

Zhou Yongcheng stayed at the construction site until noon, then went back to his second uncle's house with everyone for lunch.

After lunch, Auntie shared the peaches that Zhou Yongcheng had brought back with everyone. Everyone said the peaches tasted like fairy peaches.

Zhou Yongcheng was also eating peaches and chatting with everyone.

From everyone's conversation, I learned that those who wanted to start a breeding business were hiring people to build breeding farms. Since more than half of the year has passed, it's too late to plant grass, so each family is only raising a few to a dozen head of livestock.

You can't raise livestock without grass, and feeding them all feed is unrealistic and requires too much investment.

In the afternoon, everyone went down to work, while Zhou Yongcheng drove back to the city.

Nothing much has been happening lately. Should I hire someone to renovate the area around the house? Since buying the house, I've bought the land on both sides and the bamboo forest behind it, but I haven't hired anyone to start construction according to my ideas.

However, Zhou Yongcheng was worried that since he often traveled to other worlds from here and was often elusive, he might attract the attention of those with ulterior motives. So he decided to leave it at that for now and deal with it later.

Zhou Yongcheng entered the room and arrived in the world of Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber.

He went out of the room to check on Zhang Wuji. Zhang Wuji was cultivating. Fortunately, he hadn't gone astray, otherwise it wouldn't have been interesting.

Zhou Yongcheng cultivated in the world of Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber for a period of time, and his Nine Yang Manual was steadily improving. With the support of the super-powered crystal, his motivation to study was also steadily increasing.

On this day, Zhang Wuji finally mastered the Nine Yang Manual to the fourth volume, and Zhou Yongcheng kept his promise to send Zhang Wuji out.

They packed their things, but Zhou Yongcheng didn't move from their lodgings. He thought it was a nice place, and there was such a large peach orchard there. He would come back to pick peaches when they ripened.

"Senior, aren't you taking these things with you?" Zhang Wuji asked, pointing to the house.

"Let's leave it here for now. If you ever get tired of life outside, you can come here to live in seclusion," Zhou Yongcheng said with a smile.

"I will never come here again, and living in seclusion is even more out of the question." Zhang Wuji seemed to dislike this place.

Zhou Yongcheng smiled but didn't say anything. In the TV series "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber", Zhang Wuji eventually lived a shameless life with Zhao Min, which seemed to be a period of seclusion.

It's unknown what Zhang Wuji's ultimate fate would be after his appearance.

Zhou Yongcheng grabbed Zhang Wuji with one hand, soared into the sky, and quickly left Kunlun Mountain.

Zhou Yongcheng found a random spot and put Zhang Wuji down.

"Senior, what are we doing here?" Zhang Wuji asked, puzzled.

"It's nothing. You should experience the world of martial arts. A life without the harsh realities of life is incomplete. So you need to have a complete life. Let's part ways here. When you're in the martial arts world, you should collect martial arts manuals. You owe me quite a few."

After Zhou Yongcheng finished speaking, he soared into the sky and disappeared from Zhang Wuji's sight.

Looking in the direction where Zhou Yongcheng disappeared, Zhang Wuji was speechless. What was this all about? He might as well have stayed in that valley in Kunlun Mountain.

Zhou Yongcheng flew for a while and landed in a town. When the townspeople saw Zhou Yongcheng descending from the sky, they were so frightened that they knelt down on the ground.

"I have met a deity."

Zhou Yongcheng never expected his sudden rise to power to have such consequences. It seems he can't operate like this in the future and needs to keep a low profile.

"Which direction is Bright Summit in?" Zhou Yongcheng asked.

The person kneeling on the ground dared not raise their head or speak.

Seeing this, Zhou Yongcheng had no choice but to ask around elsewhere. He couldn't be so high-profile, or he would scare everyone away.

If this were a modern person, they would definitely crowd around to see what kind of creature had fallen from the sky. If they could communicate with it, they would definitely kowtow and become its disciple.
