Siheyuan: A journey of mountains and rivers

Ran Qiuye's hometown is located in a remote valley, surrounded by dense forests. The village was originally peaceful and tranquil, but now it is shrouded in fear and depression. When the villagers saw He Yuzhu and Lin Xiaomu coming, they showed long-lost hope on their faces.

"Master He, Brother He Yuzhu, you are finally here!" The village chief came forward excitedly with tears in his eyes.

Lin Xiaomu nodded and said comfortingly: "Village Chief, don't worry, we will do our best to protect everyone."

He Yuzhu clenched his fists and looked firmly into the darkness in the distance. He knew that this would be a difficult battle, but he was also determined to protect these innocent villagers and prevent them from being hurt again.

As night fell, the lights in the village gradually lit up. With the help of the villagers, He Yuzhu and Lin Xiaomu began to arrange fortifications in preparation for the upcoming battle. Ran Qiuye was also busy at the side, her eyes full of determination and hope.

"Brother He Yuzhu, I believe you can definitely repel those villains and rescue our villagers." Ran Qiuye said softly, with gratitude in his eyes.

He Yuzhu smiled slightly and comforted softly: "Qiuye, don't worry, we will do our best. You must protect yourself too."

It was late at night, and the air was filled with tension and uneasiness. He Yuzhu stood at the entrance of the village, looking at the darkness in the distance, his heart filled with mixed emotions. He knew that this would be a battle of life and death, but he was also determined to fight for justice and protect those innocent people.

Suddenly, there was a burst of hurried footsteps and noise in the distance, and the villains attacked again. He Yuzhu clenched the sword in his hand, took a deep breath, and prepared for this difficult battle.

The battle broke out instantly, the villains rushed to the village like a tide, and the air was filled with tension and crisis. He Yuzhu waved the sword in his hand and rushed towards the enemy quickly. His movements were swift and sharp, and each sword was full of power and determination.

"He Yuzhu, be careful!" Lin Xiaomu's voice came in the chaos. He was fighting fiercely with several villains.

He Yuzhu turned around quickly and saw several villains rushing towards him. He responded calmly and quickly swung his sword to fight back. The two of them clashed in an instant, and the sword light flashed dazzling sparks in the air.

The battle lasted a whole night, and the village was filled with fighting and roaring. He Yuzhu felt his physical strength gradually depleted, but he gritted his teeth and insisted on fighting, knowing that he could not retreat.

"He Yuzhu, we can't let these evil guys succeed!" Lin Xiaomu shouted loudly, his voice full of firmness and determination.

He Yuzhu took a deep breath, concentrated his energy, and continued to fight the villains. Each of his swords was extremely accurate, and he quickly repelled several enemies, but he also felt that his physical strength had reached its limit.

At this moment, He Yuzhu caught a glimpse of a villain rushing towards Ran Qiuye, waving a sharp long knife in his hand. He Yuzhu's heart tightened, and he immediately rushed over and blocked Ran Qiuye.

"You villains, don't even think about hurting innocent people!" He Yuzhu roared, and the sword flashed towards the villains like lightning.

The villain sneered and slashed at him with a knife. He Yuzhu was not afraid at all and quickly swung his sword to meet the attack. The two of them clashed in an instant, and the sword and knife lights collided in the air, creating dazzling sparks.

Ran Qiuye watched all this in horror, her heart filled with gratitude and worry. She knew that He Yuzhu was facing great danger in order to protect her.

"He Yuzhu, be careful!" Lin Xiaomu's voice came again. He Yuzhu turned around quickly and saw Lin Xiaomu fighting fiercely with a tall villain. The villain was holding a huge battle axe, and every blow was full of fierce power.

"Master, let me help you!" He Yuzhu shouted loudly, rushed over quickly, and fought side by side with Lin Xiaomu.

The battle became more and more intense, and He Yuzhu felt that his physical strength was gradually exhausted, but he gritted his teeth and insisted on fighting. He knew that this battle was not only about his own honor, but also about the safety of those innocent villagers.

Finally, with the joint efforts of He Yuzhu and Lin Xiaomu, the villain with the battle axe was repelled, and the other villains also fled. The village returned to peace, and the air was filled with the smell of victory.

The villagers gathered around, tears of gratitude in their eyes. "Master He, Brother He Yuzhu, thank you, thank you so much!"

He Yuzhu let out a long sigh, a tired but satisfied smile on his face. He looked at Ran Qiuye, and saw hope and gratitude flashing in her eyes, and felt extremely warm in his heart.

"Qiu Ye, you are safe now. Those villains will not come again." He Yuzhu said softly, his eyes full of tenderness.

Ran Qiuye nodded, tears in her eyes. "Brother He Yuzhu, Master He, you are really the saviors of our village."

Lin Xiaomu smiled and patted He Yuzhu on the shoulder. "He Yuzhu, you completed this mission very well. You not only showed courage and wisdom, but also proved your growth."

He Yuzhu nodded, his heart filled with gratitude and satisfaction. He knew that this experience made him more mature and more determined in his beliefs. No matter how difficult the future might be, he would face it bravely and protect those in need.

As night fell, the courtyard returned to its former tranquility. He Yuzhu and Lin Xiaomu sat in the courtyard, looking at the twinkling stars in the sky, their hearts full of thoughts and precipitation. After this battle, they both felt invisible growth and inner sublimation.

Lin Xiaomu sighed softly and turned to look at He Yuzhu. "He Yuzhu, we have been through so much, and tonight I want to teach you something very important."

He Yuzhu was slightly stunned and looked at his master in confusion. "Master, what's the matter?"

Lin Xiaomu smiled slightly, with a hint of warmth in his eyes. "Make steamed buns."

He Yuzhu was a little surprised, but he knew that his master's words must have a deeper meaning. "Master, is there anything special about making steamed buns?"

Lin Xiaomu stood up and took He Yuzhu to the kitchen. "Making steamed buns is not just about making food, it is also a form of practice, a way to hone your mind. By making steamed buns, you can learn patience, meticulousness and concentration, which are also important in the martial arts world."

He Yuzhu nodded, and he admired his master's wisdom. He knew that this study was not just a simple skill, but also a kind of inner cultivation.

Lin Xiaomu took out flour, yeast, water and salt, and placed the ingredients on the chopping board one by one. "He Yuzhu, the first step in making steamed buns is to knead the dough. This may seem simple, but it requires great patience and meticulousness. Come on, try it."
