Siheyuan: Tathagata's Palm suppresses the entire courtyard!

After listening to Jia Xiaoying's words, the old man was silent for a while, as if he was thinking about something. Finally, he sighed softly, put down the pipe in his hand, and looked at her seriously: "Young man, this matter is not simple. I know you are anxious, but this involves a memory from a long time ago, and it involves the lives and privacy of some people."

Jia Xiaoying stared at the old man closely, her eyes revealing determination and expectation: "I understand that this may not be easy, but if you can help me, you will change the fate of a family."

The old man pondered for a moment and finally nodded: "Okay, I'll think about it. Leave your contact information and I'll contact you when I have news."

After hearing this, Jia Xiaoying felt relieved and thanked him gratefully: "Thank you, you don't know how important your decision is to us."

She left her phone number and said goodbye to the old man, feeling relieved. She knew that even if things were progressing slowly, every step forward was an important step towards her goal.

After returning home, Jia Xiaoying told her family about her experience in detail. After listening to her, although they were still full of expectations, they also understood that all this was just the beginning and more efforts and waiting were needed.

A few days later, Jia Xiaoying's phone rang. She answered the phone and heard the strange old man's voice: "Little girl, I have thought about it. I am willing to testify in court and help your father."

Jia Xiaoying's eyes were filled with tears as she thanked him gratefully: "Thank you very much, your help means a lot to us."

After dinner, Xu Mingjie and Lou Xiaoe walked out of the courtyard together. They decided to go for a walk in the nearby park. In the evening, the sky was a touch of orange, and the breeze blew, carrying the remaining warmth of summer.

The park is shaded by green trees and has small bridges and flowing water, exuding a peaceful and comfortable atmosphere. Xu Mingjie and Lou Xiaoe walked slowly, stopping from time to time to admire the scenery and exchange their feelings.

"The meal today was really delicious." Xu Mingjie said to Lou Xiaoe with a smile, "The braised pork you made was really amazing. I ate so much."

Lou Xiao'e said: "That's the secret recipe my mother passed down to me. The meat is soft and tasty. In fact, there are more recipes that I haven't used."

Xu Mingjie asked curiously: "Your family's secret recipe passed down from generation to generation? Why are you telling it now?"

Lou Xiao'e smiled, with tenderness and memories in her eyes: "Because it is not only the secrets of ingredients and cooking techniques, but also some family stories that I want to share with you. It requires a special moment."

Xu Mingjie sensed the deep meaning in Lou Xiaoe's words and could not help but become more expectant and curious. They continued to stroll in the park, occasionally stopping to admire a blooming flower or listen to the sound of the wind blowing through the treetops.

"In fact, my great-grandmother was a very famous chef." Lou Xiao'e continued, "She learned cooking from my grandfather since she was a child and mastered many unique cooking techniques. It is said that the recipe of our braised pork in brown sauce was carefully created by her."

Xu Mingjie listened attentively, completely attracted by Lou Xiaoe's story. They found an empty bench and sat down to continue chatting.

"So, this secret recipe has been passed down to your generation?" Xu Mingjie asked curiously.

Lou Xiao'e nodded with a hint of pride in her expression: "Yes, although my generation doesn't rely on family traditions to cook like in the past, my mother still taught me these skills. Every time I make braised pork, I follow her method."

Xu Mingjie smiled and said, "What you cook is really delicious, and the taste of home makes me feel warm."

Lou Xiao'e's smile became even brighter. She patted Xu Mingjie's shoulder gently and said, "I will teach you some cooking skills if I have a chance. You can also try to make it once."

The two spent a pleasant evening chatting and laughing in the park. The sun gradually set, the sky gradually darkened, and the lights in the park gradually lit up. They walked all the way to a small lake in the park. The lake was sparkling, reflecting the stars and lights in the night sky.

"You know what?" Xu Mingjie leaned on the railing by the lake and looked at the water. "This park was one of my favorite places to come when I was a child. Whenever I felt stressed or in a bad mood, I would come here for a walk and look at the lake and the starry sky."

Lou Xiao'e leaned beside him and asked softly, "Did you ever think about what you wanted to do when you grew up when you were a child?"

Xu Mingjie pondered for a moment, then smiled and replied: "When I was a child, I wanted to be a scientist because I was very interested in science and inventions. Later, when I went to university, I chose urban planning as my major, hoping to contribute to the development of the city."

Lou Xiao'e looked at him tenderly and said softly: "You are really amazing. You can contribute to the cultural and historical preservation of this city."

Xu Mingjie smiled and looked up at the starry sky: "Perhaps everyone has his or her own mission and responsibility. I just do what I can."

They chatted quietly for a long time by the lake, talking about life, ideals and the future. Time passed quietly, the night deepened, and the park gradually became quiet, with only one or two couples or elderly people walking leisurely.

Finally, Xu Mingjie and Lou Xiaoe decided to go home. They strolled back to the courtyard, their hearts full of hope for the future and trust in each other. Under the locust tree, they waved goodbye and returned to their own homes.

Back in his own small courtyard, Xu Mingjie sighed softly. His heart was filled with gratitude to Lou Xiaoe and expectations for future life. He knew how precious and lucky it was to have such a person who understood and supported him. Yang Shumao looked at Ye Fei's tears, his heart full of contradictions and helplessness. He knew that he could no longer linger in the past and had to look forward. He decided to live a good life with Zhao Yajing and not let the shadow of the past affect his future.

"Ye Fei, I understand how you feel, but we no longer have a future." Yang Shumao's voice was full of helplessness and determination.

After hearing what Yang Shumao said, Ye Fei felt an indescribable pain in her heart. She knew that she had lost everything and could never get it back.

"Yang Shumao, I really don't want to lose you." Ye Fei's voice was tearful, and she felt that she had fallen into despair.

Yang Shumao looked at Ye Fei's tears, his heart full of contradictions and helplessness. He knew that he could no longer linger in the past and had to look forward. He decided to live a good life with Zhao Yajing and not let the shadow of the past affect his future.
