Two weeks later.

Hua Li and Shi Mo got on the off-road vehicle as they wished, and together with Li Rang, they drove towards the primeval forest.

At the beginning, Li Rang was very excited because his master finally took him to gain experience. However, as he looked at the increasingly familiar scenery outside, he became restless.

When the car turned into a fork in the road, Li Rang was sure that this was the road to his home. He glanced at the master driving in front of him and finally asked uncertainly: "Master, where are we going?"

Without waiting for Shi Zhixing to answer, Shi Mo, who was sitting in front of Li Rang, kindly said, "Primitive forest, didn't I tell you?"

"No." At this moment, Li Rang felt lonely for three seconds, and then he was pulled back to his senses. He guessed wildly in his heart, could it be that his master found out that his home was in a remote mountain area and wanted to take this opportunity to return the goods?

Or maybe his grandfather contacted the master, and the master actually escorted him back to his hometown!

While Li Rang was daydreaming, Shi Zhixing had already parked the car steadily in the parking lot outside the Forest Ancient Town.

Shi Mo jumped out of the car and looked at the tall, moss-covered stone tablet standing at the entrance of the ancient town. There were three traditional Chinese characters carved on the tablet. Shi Mo could barely make out: "Pear Blossom Falling?"

Li Rang, who followed, explained instinctively:

"Lihualuo is the name of the ancient town. Every household in the ancient town has two or three pear trees. In spring, when the pear blossoms bloom, the petals fly into the air and fall like snowflakes when the wind blows. The falling petals are colorful and very pleasing to the eye. That's how the name 'Lihualuo' came about."

"Wow~!"

"Wow~!"

Shi Mo and Hua Li exclaimed at the same time.

At the end of the day, I was amazed by the poetic and picturesque name of the ancient town.

Hua Li was so beautiful in her imagination that she looked at Shi Zhixing with great interest and said, "Shishi, let's come here again in the spring!"

Shi Zhixing knew that Xiaohua liked beautiful things, so he would not disturb her interest and promised, "Okay."

The ancient town is built on the mountain. The houses are basically two-story ancient buildings with mortise and tenon joints. The tiled houses are lined up along the main street that winds towards the top of the mountain. There are basically one or two pear trees planted between the houses.

Now the pear trees are bare, and various ethnic shops, outdoor goods stores, restaurants and supermarkets are hidden among them and line the streets.

Lihualuo Ancient Town is also a tourist attraction. Even if it is not spring, there are still many tourists coming to the ancient town and hiking in the primeval forest, and the whole street is very lively.

Li Rang pulled his baseball cap down and followed Shi Mo and the others up to the ancient town, hoping that maybe his master and the others really came to the primeval forest.

Hua Li jumped into Shi Mo's arms and walked in front. They went into almost every ethnic shop. Hua Li really liked these special things, while Shi Mo had never experienced them before and they were very curious.

When they see Hua Li and Shi Mo who they like, they will buy things for them. In the end, Shi Zhixing follows behind to pay, and Li Rang hunches his neck and acts as a porter.

Don’t miss out on the delicious special snacks, as with Hua Li, the greedy cat, there is no need to worry about not having enough to eat.

Hua Li and her friends did not go to the outdoor goods store, as they had already prepared everything when they were in Yunhua City.

Eating and playing at the same time, it took Hua Li and her friends two hours to reach the top of the mountain, where they stopped 30 meters in front of an ancient gate.

Staring at his own door, Li Rang had completely given up hope. His master really sent him home!

"Hey! Xiao Rang is really back!"

Li Rang, who was in a daze, turned around when he heard a familiar voice and saw Aunt Yan trotting over with a basket of vegetables. She pulled him up and looked him up and down and said with a smile:

"You've grown taller and stronger. This morning, the old man asked me to prepare some of your favorite dishes, saying that you would be back at noon. The old man's words really came true. Haha~, let's go and let the old man take a good look."

As she spoke, Aunt Yan dragged Li Rang towards the gate.

Li Rang followed Aunt Yan for a few steps, then turned around and saw that Master and the others had not caught up with him, and asked in confusion: "Master, aren't you going to my house?"

Shi Zhixing calmly took out the key and opened the small door next to him, saying, "I bought a yard here, and I'll visit Mr. Li in the evening."

Li Rang's eyes widened in shock. Didn't his grandfather never sell this yard even if he died?

Before he could react, Li Rang was dragged into the Li residence by Aunt Yan.

Shi Mo was confused, and turned to look at his uncle, puzzled, "Is this Li Rangge's house? Didn't he say that he has a family business to inherit?"

Shi Zhixing bent down and picked up the shopping bag on the ground, raised his chin and looked at the intriguing road that meandered down the long street:

"See? All the old buildings on this whole street belong to him."

It was when he bought the yard that he found out that the owner was Li Rang's family. He used Li Rang's master's identity to buy the yard on the top of the mountain and a shop on the long street from the unyielding old man Li.

Hua Li raised an eyebrow and moved his gaze towards the ancient heavy door of Li Rang's house. It should be made of Dalbergia odorifera that has grown for thousands of years. The weight of a door starts from a thousand pounds and is famous for its long humming sound.

Nowadays, this kind of heavy door made of precious rosewood should be unique in the flower-growing country.

I didn't expect this kid's family background was so deep.

"Double doors" have special cultural significance in the Flower Country. Families that can have double doors have them passed down from generation to generation and are basically protected by the Cultural Relics Bureau.

Shi Mo withdrew his gaze from the long street, feeling even more puzzled. If her family was so rich, she would definitely not become a mercenary.

Entering the small gate and walking around the screen wall, you will see a flower garden with only three or two trees in bloom. There is a bamboo pavilion against the wall. Across the bluestone path is a two-story wooden mortise and tenon building.

The living room and kitchen are on the first floor, and there are three rooms on the second floor. Two of the bedrooms are separated by a study in the middle. Both bedrooms have large glass bay windows, through which you can have a panoramic view of the entire ancient town and a bird's eye view of the primeval forest in the distance.

There is a row of back rooms in the backyard, and the open space in the middle is paved with bluestone, which is very spacious.

Hua Li liked this place very much. It was warm and cozy. She looked around the yard with joy.

After a three-hour rest in the afternoon, Li Rang came to the courtyard at dinner time.

Hua Li's eyes lit up when she saw Li Rang wearing ethnic minority costumes. He usually has a sunny and cheerful personality, and it is easy for people to ignore his handsome appearance.

His outfit today makes him look like a mixed-race person from a minority ethnic group, a completely different style.

Li Rang rubbed Erxue who was waiting for him, looked at his master who was sitting on the sofa and said with an apologetic smile: "Master, Grandpa asked me to invite you over."

Shi Zhixing just wanted to visit, so he put down the tablet, stood up, called Shi Mo, and carried the wooden box out of the yard first.

Li Rang lowered his eyes, a hint of guilt flashed across his eyes, and he ran forward quickly to lead the way.

Arriving at the gate of Li's residence, Li Rang ignored the old butler who was waiting at the side door. He walked directly to the main gate and stretched out his hand to push the heavy and simple door hard.

The Li family is a family that values ​​inheritance. The rules passed down by their ancestors are: unless there is an important event, the Li family’s door will not be opened.

It has been passed down to this day.

The old housekeeper frowned and reminded: "Master, the master didn't..."

Li Rang cast a cold look at the old butler, who instantly blocked his gaze. The old butler smiled bitterly and said that with the young master's serious attitude, the master's calculations might be wrong.

As the door was pushed open, the doorposts made a low and long humming sound, as if welcoming the distinguished guests.

Opening the heavy doors to welcome distinguished guests is the highest standard of hospitality in the Li residence.

The old butler went forward to greet the guest according to the rules, feeling proud. Normally, it would take four strong men to push open this heavy door, but today the young master opened the door by himself, the master of the house would probably be happy if he knew.

Shi Zhixing, who was standing behind him, had a look of surprise in his eyes. He didn't expect that this boy would have such feelings.

Hua Li was also surprised at the importance of Master Shi Zhixing in Li Rang's heart, and she looked at Li Rang with a lot more favor.

Shi Mo didn’t understand all this, he just felt that the door was very heavy, and then he followed obediently with the gift in his arms.

When Mr. Li, who was sitting in the hall, heard the bang of the heavy door, he put down the teacup in his hand with obvious displeasure in his eyes.

He sneered, "Ha! So what if you can get in? We also need to see if we can get here."
