More than half a year passed in a flash. Zhang Hanyan and Zhang Qiling took Zhang Qishan's personal guards to travel around the mountains and rivers. They deliberately chose places with beautiful scenery to go back and see the beautiful mountains and rivers.

"Saint, when can we go back? We have been out for more than a year. If we don't go back, I am afraid that Master Buddha..."

After more than a year of exploration, the guards have fully understood the difference between Zhang Hanyan and Zhang Qiling.

Although Zhang Hanyan's words are a bit venomous and her methods are a bit cruel, she will speak! If you ask her, she will answer you if she is in a good mood.

As for Zhang Qiling, no matter what they said or did, he looked completely indifferent and unconcerned. No matter how they asked, he would not pay any attention to them.

Only when Zhang Hanyan talked to him would he respond to every word and explain everything.

"Why are you in such a hurry? It's so hot right now. Isn't it just right to escape the heat in the beautiful Hangzhou? Why are you in such a hurry to go back? Even the Buddha is not in a hurry, but you are."

The personal guard looked at Zhang Hanyan who was bending over to pick lotus flowers and laughed awkwardly. Haha, the reason why our Lord Buddha is not in a hurry is because he can't find any trace of us.

Whenever the people sent by the Buddha to look for us were about to arrive, you would take us to run. Not only would you run, but you would also wait until the people were about to catch up with us before you run away, as if you were walking them like a dog.

I guess when those people pass the news back, the Buddha will be so angry that he will die! We will also be skinned when we go back!

"Then... Saint, can you give us a specific time? If we don't go back, the Buddha will really kill us."

Zhang Hanyan looked at the pitiful guards and chuckled, "What? You followed Zhang Qishan through fire and water for so many years, and now we finally have peace and prosperity. But you just came out to play for a year or two, and he wants to kill you?

Heh...it seems that your master doesn't treat you very well...”

After she finished speaking, she saw Zhang Qiling walking back towards her. She left her guards who were about to continue advising her, walked quickly towards him, and took him to the pavilion on the lake.

"How about it, little brother? How about that place? Did you like it after seeing it?"

"Well, do you like it? If you like it, we'll buy it."

Zhang Hanyan recalled the layout of the house inside and out. Every detail of it was to her liking. She simply couldn't find a second house that she liked better.

"Yes, since we both like it, let's go buy it now, okay?"

As she spoke, she was about to leave. After taking a few steps, she realized that Zhang Qiling had no intention of following her, so she walked back without knowing why.

"Brother, why don't you leave? Don't you like that house?"

Zhang Qiling shook his head silently. Just when Zhang Hanyan couldn't figure out what he meant, he took out a bunch of keys from his pocket and handed them to her.

"I bought it because I knew you liked it."

Zhang Hanyan looked at the key in her hand in disbelief. The key was of an antique style and it was obvious that the matching padlock was quite old.

"Buy it now?" She looked through the keys happily. After a moment, as if she suddenly thought of something, she raised her head and looked at Zhang Qiling fixedly.

"Where did you get the money?"

Zhang Qiling was stunned by her question and said hesitantly, "I gave him a bronze utensil."

"..."

Zhang Hanyan opened her lips slightly in surprise, not knowing for a moment whether to praise him or not...

Zhang Qiling looked at her unspeakable expression, thinking that he had done something wrong. He lowered his head in silence, thinking about how to make up for it.

"Brother... I like this house very much. I'll be happy if you buy it. Thank you... Then... shall we go and take a look together before we leave?"

She tightly grasped the key in her hand, as if she could feel the residual warmth of Zhang Qiling left on the key.

He raised his eyes and looked at her steadily. After making sure that she was not comforting him but really liked him, a faint smile appeared on his face.

"Okay, let's go and see it together."

They bought this house when Zhang Hanyan accidentally saw the house sale information while she was out one day. She thought that since she had nothing to do anyway, she might as well go and take a look.

But after seeing this, I couldn't move my legs anymore.

After returning, she told Zhang Qiling about her idea of ​​buying a house and asked him to go and take a look. If both of them liked it, they could buy the house.

She thought that she and Zhang Qiling were destined to have interactions with people living in Hangzhou, so it would be better for them to buy a house here and have their own home.

Zhang Hanyan and Zhang Qiling turned a deaf ear to the urging of the guards and stayed in Hangzhou until the cool autumn day before planning to set off to meet up with Zhang Qishan.

Before leaving, the two of them shook off the people who had been following them and went to see the house they had bought a few months ago.

The house is right on the edge of the West Lake. In front of the house are weeping willows and the rippling water of the West Lake. As far as the eye can see, there are also withered lotus leaves.

Zhang Hanyan took out the key, opened the door, pushed it open, and walked in with Zhang Qiling into a home that truly belonged to them.

Crossing the high threshold, I stepped into the flat courtyard paved with bluestone. Moss grew in the cracks of the bluestone slabs, and a few wild grasses grew along the wall. Crystal dewdrops hung on the tips of the grass, sparkling in the sun.

Looking around, I saw that the courtyard was lush and green. I walked along the bluestone path, through a garden full of flowers, and looked up to see a three-story building.

Pavilions, towers, ponds and waterside pavilions are reflected among the green pines and cypresses, with rockery, strange rocks, flower beds, bonsai, vines and bamboos dotted in between.

"Brother, from now on, this will be our home!" Zhang Hanyan sighed softly as she gazed at the small carved window on the second floor.

Zhang Qiling turned his head to look at her. The woman had skin as white as cream, and beneath her curved eyebrows were a pair of clear and bright eyes that were as bright as stars.

Her lips are rosy, and the teardrop mole under her right eye makes her look even more charming. Her peach blossom eyes are slightly drooped, with a hint of world-weariness, charming yet not vulgar.

Zhang Qiling stared at her steadily, without blinking, as if he wanted to engrave her appearance firmly in his mind and heart.

"Well...our own home."

The two men walked around the huge house at will, checking every place carefully inside and out, up and down.

Zhang Qiling looked at Zhang Hanyan, who obviously didn't want to leave, and reminded her, "Hanyan, it's time for us to leave."

Zhang Hanyan turned back to look at the pavilions and towers behind the garden and said, "Well, let's go. Sooner or later, we will come back to live here anyway."
