Phoenix Dance: The Eldest Daughter's Physician Consort Shocks the World

Chapter 85 The Love Grows Stronger in the Peach Blossom Spring

In this tranquil little village, time seemed to slow down, and Xiao Yichen and Su Yao fully enjoyed this hard-won peace and happiness.

One morning, sunlight filtered through the thin mist and spilled into the courtyard. Su Yao got up early to prepare breakfast for her family. Xiao Yichen also got up, walked to Su Yao's side, and said softly, "Yao'er, you've worked hard these past few days. Let me help you start the fire."

Su Yao smiled and shook her head: "It's no trouble at all. I'm happy to cook for you and the child. Go and see if the child is awake yet."

Xiao Yichen went to the child's room and saw that the child was still fast asleep. He gently tucked the blanket around him and then returned to the kitchen. He sat down and watched Su Yao's busy figure, feeling warm inside.

After breakfast, Xiao Yichen prepared to work in the fields. Su Yao tidied his clothes and instructed him, "Yichen, don't overwork yourself in the fields. If you get hot, take a break."

Xiao Yichen smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, Yao'er. I know what I'm doing. You should also take good care of yourself and the child at home."

Just as Xiao Yichen reached the door, a villager rushed over, looking anxious, and said, "Brother Xiao, something bad has happened! A group of people have suddenly come to the village, saying they are looking for you, and they don't seem to have good intentions!"

Xiao Yichen's heart tightened; he knew trouble had come knocking again. He turned to Su Yao and said, "Yao'er, take the child back inside, close the door, and don't come out. I'll go check on things."

Su Yao looked at Xiao Yichen with concern: "Yichen, you have to be careful."

When Xiao Yichen arrived at the village entrance, he saw a group of people dressed in black standing there. The leader of them was the head of a Jianghu evil force that had once colluded with the corrupt officials in the imperial court.

"Xiao Yichen, I didn't expect you to hide here. It's time to settle our scores!" the leader said viciously.

Xiao Yichen looked at him coldly: "I have no connection with you anymore, why do you still insist on bothering me?"

"Hmph! You've caused us to lose so much, today is your death day!" With that, the leader waved his hand, and the men in black behind him pounced on Xiao Yichen.

Xiao Yichen swiftly drew his sword and engaged the men in black in combat. Although he was highly skilled in martial arts, he was outnumbered and gradually found himself outmatched.

Just then, some able-bodied young men in the village heard the commotion and rushed over with their farm tools to help: "Brother Xiao, we're here to help you!"

With the help of the villagers, Xiao Yichen finally defeated the men in black. However, he also sustained some injuries, and the villagers helped him home.

When Su Yao saw the injured Xiao Yichen, tears welled up in her eyes: "Yichen, how are you? It's all my fault, I didn't protect you well."

Xiao Yichen comforted her, "Yao'er, it's not your fault. I've dragged everyone into this. These people won't let this go, we have to think of a way."

Su Yao carefully bandaged Xiao Yichen's wounds, and after thinking for a moment, she said, "Yichen, I think we can't just sit here and wait to die. We can unite with the villagers to strengthen the village's defenses. At the same time, I can also use my medical skills to concoct some poisons, just in case."

Xiao Yichen nodded: "Yao'er, your idea is good. It's just that it will put everyone in danger, and I can't bear to do that."

Su Yao grasped Xiao Yichen's hand: "Yichen, now is not the time to talk about these things. Everyone treats us as family, and we cannot let them get hurt. Moreover, only by uniting can we protect our homeland."

In the days that followed, Xiao Yichen and Su Yao led the villagers in reinforcing the village walls and setting traps in preparation for another attack by the men in black. Su Yao was busy preparing poisons and medicines to treat injuries, and the villagers all cooperated actively with their work.

Finally, the men in black attacked again. But this time, they fell into a trap set by the villagers as soon as they entered the village, suffering heavy casualties. Xiao Yichen and the villagers seized the opportunity to launch an attack and completely repelled the men in black.

After this incident, the village returned to its former peace. Xiao Yichen and Su Yao cherished this hard-won tranquility even more.

One evening, the moonlight, like water, spilled into the courtyard. Xiao Yichen and Su Yao sat in the courtyard, looking at the moon in the sky.

"Yao'er, after everything that has happened, I've come to realize how precious a happy life is. With you by my side, I feel so content," Xiao Yichen said affectionately.

Su Yao leaned against Xiao Yichen's chest: "Yichen, me too. As long as our family is together, we can overcome any difficulty. From now on, let's live here happily and watch our child grow up, okay?"

Xiao Yichen hugged Su Yao tightly: "Okay, we'll never be apart."

From then on, Xiao Yichen and Su Yao continued their simple and happy life in this small village. Their love story grew richer and richer with the passage of time, becoming an eternal legend in this land, witnessing the power of love and courage forever.
