After traveling through the book, I conquered the male protagonist Long Aotian!

At this moment, the slightly tired figure of Liu Erniu's son slowly appeared in everyone's sight.

Behind him, he was carrying a tall bundle of firewood, which was piled like a mountain.

His body was slightly hunched under the heavy burden, sweat soaked his tattered clothes like crystal pearls, and his hair was scattered in a mess, looking a little disheveled.

However, his eyes revealed a kind of steel-like firmness. That determined look was like the weeds that grew tenaciously in adversity and could not be destroyed no matter how violent the wind was.

When Liu Erniu's daughter saw her brother coming back, a gentle smile like the warm spring sun immediately appeared on her face: "Brother, you're back."

Her voice was soft and gentle, full of concern, like a breeze, gently blowing through people's hearts.

Liu Erniu's son slowly put down the heavy firewood, his eyes inadvertently fell on Gu Qingze and Chu Lingxiao, with a hint of doubt in his eyes, as if he was wondering about the origins of these two strangers.

Liu Erniu hurriedly introduced: "These two are immortals who heard about this matter and came here specially. They are willing to protect your sister when she gets married."

Liu Erniu's words were full of gratitude and expectation.

A hint of surprise flashed across Liu Erniu's son's eyes, but that surprise was like a meteor that flashed across the night sky, bright and short-lived.

Then he hurriedly bowed, his movements respectful and sincere.

"Thank you, Immortal." His voice was low and deep.

Gu Qingze nodded slightly and said, "No need to be polite."

Chu Lingxiao also looked at Liu Erniu's son and nodded.

Liu Erniu looked at his two children, and his heart was filled with emotion: "If these things hadn't happened, it would have been great for our family to live a good life."

The girl walked up to her brother and whispered, "Brother, when I get married, you must take good care of Dad."

Liu Erniu's son clenched his fists and said firmly, "Don't worry, sister. I will work hard to make this family better."

"Two immortals, we are going to make wild vegetable soup. If you don't mind, you might as well stay and try it." Liu Erniu's daughter invited cautiously.

Gu Qingze and Chu Lingxiao looked at each other, and Gu Qingze smiled and said, "Thank you very much."

The family immediately got busy. The girl skillfully washed the wild vegetables, while Liu Erniu's son started a fire.

The aroma of the wild vegetable soup gradually spread, and everyone sat together, tasting this simple soup.

Although the soup tastes light, it makes people feel the reality and beauty of life.

Liu Erniu said with emotion: "It is our honor that the immortal can condescend to eat with us."

Gu Qingze shook his head: "All beings are equal, so why should we condescend to others? Besides, the wild vegetable soup is delicious too."

Chu Lingxiao also nodded in agreement.

After dinner, Liu Erniu's son started to get busy again, repairing some dilapidated places in the house.

Liu Erniu continued to sharpen his knife in the courtyard.

Liu Erniu's daughter was weaving some bamboo baskets, preparing to sell them at the market. Her fingers moved nimbly between the bamboo strips. While weaving, she lowered her eyes, not knowing what she was thinking. The sadness in her eyes was about to overflow.

"You..." After Gu Qingze noticed it, he couldn't help but stepped forward and said softly, "If you really don't want to get married, I can help you and give you some money."

Liu Erniu's daughter shook her head and looked at him with sincere eyes.

"No need to do that. The immortal has been able to lend a hand and protect me, which is already very good. I don't want to take advantage of others' kindness and ask for more."

"Besides, one more person means one more pair of bowls and chopsticks. If I get married, not only can I solve the family debt and my brother's marriage, but there will also be one less person to eat, so my father and brother can also have more food."

She forced a smile and continued to weave the bamboo basket with her head down. That smile was as fragile as a flower in the wind.

Gu Qingze looked at her quietly, feeling a surge of pity in his heart.

At this time, Chu Lingxiao came over and patted Gu Qingze on the shoulder, "Let's go out for a walk."

The two left and went to an alley not far away. Chu Lingxiao looked into the distance: "Qingze, you... seem to care about that woman a lot."

Gu Qingze shook his head: "I just felt that she was very pitiful and couldn't help but want to help her, but... maybe I didn't think it through."

Chu Lingxiao heard this, as if he had thought of something, and put his arm around his shoulders: "Although we can't help her with this matter, we can help her with another matter."

"What's the matter?" Gu Qingze moved closer to him, his eyes full of anticipation.

Chu Lingxiao whispered in his ear: "I've thought about it carefully. It's not safe to sneak into the wedding procession and secretly protect the bride."

"Liu Erniu's daughter has no cultivation at all. If we make a mistake and she is abducted, she will be unable to escape or resist. She will most likely die... So it's best not to use such a reckless approach."
