Encounter Taotie by chance at the beginning and practice longevity skills

Long Yingnan looked at the general and said respectfully: "Now we live by the lake. Mr. Lei Ze told me a month ago that he would not do experiments for the time being. He seems to have finished all the experiments."

Long Yingnan continued: "Master Lei Ze said that he will prepare to practice in seclusion recently, so there will be no Tianyuan Pill for us to eat for a long time."

"So he built a lake for us here and cultivated several acres of fields around the lake. He also helped us build a house on the edge of the field and built us a boat."

"They gave us a lot of seeds and made us self-sufficient. If we want to eat meat, we can go out to sea and fish."

After hearing this, the general said: "Not bad, not bad, you have started farming."

After hearing this, Long Yingnan said: "Not yet. Qianyu said that it is winter recently and it is relatively cold. Although the winter here is much warmer than that in the city, it is still not suitable for sowing. We have to wait until spring next year."

Zhao Qianyu also said: "General, you may not think that he is good at studying and becoming an official, but when it comes to growing crops, I, a child who grew up in the village, know better."

Long Yingnan said with shame: "Qianyu, actually my official performance was not very good. Hey, I didn't know how to accumulate strength and be so sophisticated. That's why I was defeated."

Zhao Qianyu said: "Oh, Yingnan, that must be the problem of that dynasty. An official who only serves the people is being beheaded. It only means that it is not your problem."

Long Yingnan laughed: "Who knows."

The general asked: "What have you eaten recently?"

Zhao Qianyu replied: "Master Lei Ze gave us some Tianyuan Pills, which is enough for us to eat for a year. One pill can last us three days."

The general nodded and said with a smile: "Master is so attentive."

Long Yingnan also said: "Master Lei Ze is indeed very kind. He always says that there is no freedom here, but these days are the most comfortable days I have ever lived in my life."

"When I was a child, my parents urged me to study. At that time, I thought that studying and becoming a high official would bring glory to the family and make my father's business better."

Long Yingnan continued, with a nostalgic wry smile on his face: "I studied for ten years, then took the exam, and became an official after the exam. It seems that there is always a hand pushing me forward."

"When I became an official, that hand pushed me to realize the ideals in the book, until I was dragged into prison." Long Yingnan took a deep breath, as if recalling that unpleasant past.

Zhao Qianyu gently held Long Yingnan's hand and said cautiously: "Yingnan...it's all me..."

Long Yingnan smiled slightly: "Qianyu, it's okay, I won't mention it anymore."

Long Yingnan continued: "Actually, after I came to this island, I had more time to think, and then I knew what I wanted."

"The world is unified and everyone is equal. These are actually the world described in the book. They are the dream of the author of that book, not mine."

"When I was a child, I envied those children who could play every day, but I was strictly restricted from going out since I was a child. I could only study in the study room at a time."

"At that time, I thought, it would be great if I could be like them."

"One day, I sneaked out and played with them all afternoon. The joy was something I will never forget. But I never did it again, because it really hurt when my father hit me."

Long Yingnan's eyes became brighter: "It wasn't until a few days ago, when I took the first Tianyuan Pill, that I experienced this kind of happiness again. It seemed to take me back to my childhood."

"The days on the island became more and more leisurely, and I also had time to sort out the past, which awakened my thinking about life. I began to think about what I am living for."

"When I was studying, it was for my parents. Later, when I became an official, it was for the unity of the world. But I never seemed to think about living for myself."

"I actually don't have any lofty ideals. I just want to find someone I love, stay away from disputes, and live a happy life together."

"That's it now. I'm really grateful to Mr. Lei Ze."

Zhao Qianyu looked at Long Yingnan tenderly, her eyes full of love and gratitude: "Yes, we can now live the life we ​​want together, just like Yingnan said, simple and happy."

The general smiled when he looked at the young couple. It turns out that there is still beauty in the world. Looking at the two of them, the general couldn't help but think of his master and Xianmeng.

The three of them are so happy together.

Long Yingnan said: "To make the general laugh, today is the last day of the year. Do you want to try Qianyu's craftsmanship? Although it is not as good as the taste of Tianyuan Dan, I think it is the best I have ever tasted. Food is ready.”

The general smiled and said: "You haven't eaten any good food at first glance, but time flies so fast. If you didn't tell me, I wouldn't know that today is the last day of the year. The longer you live, the more time you spend. I don’t feel anything anymore.”

"But looking at your warm invitation, I'll try Qianyu's craftsmanship."

The general followed Long Yingnan and Zhao Qianyu to their small home by the lake.

Although the furnishings in the house are simple, every place seems warm and loving. There are some simple decorations hanging on the walls, and a small fireplace exudes warmth in the corner.

Zhao Qianyu was busy in the kitchen, and the aroma was fragrant, obviously preparing a sumptuous dinner. Long Yingnan was helping from the side, and the tacit cooperation between the two made the general feel the deep feelings between them.

Soon, the table was filled with all kinds of delicious dishes.

Zhao Qianyu said: "General, because we haven't planted any plants yet, these are all things from the sea."

The general said: "Then I will try your seafood."

The general took a bite of the fish, tasted it, broke open a crab, ate it, and shook his head: "Well, it's really average. I'll tell you, Long Yingnan, you haven't eaten anything good."

Long Yingnan laughed loudly and said to Zhao Qianyu: "Look, I just said you did a very good job. Even the general praised you."

A big question mark appeared on the general's head: "Am I praising her?"

Long Yingnan said: "Of course, Mr. General, you must have eaten a lot of good things with Mr. Lei Ze. If compared with elixirs such as Tianyuan Dan, they are all average, which means Qianyu's cooking is really good. Eat.”

The general was amused by Long Yingnan's logic and responded with a smile: "I didn't say it, you are such a genius, no wonder you became an official."

Zhao Qianyu looked at Long Yingnan with a shy look: "Oh, Yingnan, you praise me so much, I feel embarrassed."

Zhao Qianyu's cheeks were slightly red and she lowered her head with a shy smile.

The evening breeze blew gently, and the lake water rippled, making this happy scene even more warm.

After the meal, the general said: "By the way, I think fireworks are set off on all festivals in the world. Do you have any fireworks?"

Long Yingnan shook his head: "No, but when you say so, it does lose some of the festive atmosphere."

The general smiled mysteriously: "Hey, let me show you one. I heard the master say before that some people set off fireworks like this."

Long Yingnan and Zhao Qianyu's eyes lit up, and they both looked at the general expectantly.
