Just pass through this hidden path and you will immediately see a vast valley, with a stream flowing through it that is neither deep nor shallow. At the far end of the stream is a waterfall. The waterfall is very cool near it, and water mist splashes from time to time.

Dong Yizai carefully checked the valley. There was a circle of peaks around the valley. This valley was considered a relatively complete flat land. The valley was narrow and long. It was estimated that there was about 500 acres. There was only one entrance in the entire valley, so there was almost no trace of people coming here. I think if I wanted to build a village here, that entrance must be handled. Here we imitate the Qin family and Zuo family, and all the flat land was surrounded by high walls. Otherwise, who would know if there would be any beasts rushing down from the mountain?

Fortunately, this place was only built as a retreat. If you want to live here for a long time, you will be afraid that more precautions will be taken.

After staying in the valley for a day, Dong Yi left. This time he targeted Linchuan County. From here to Linchuan County, I don’t know how many more mountains he had to cross, especially the mountain situation here. He had to take a detour. There was no problem with the same way as Yongjia County, and there would be no problem to force it over directly.

It was already three days later when Dong Yi left this mountain range. Looking at his embarrassment, Dong Yi smiled bitterly. How long has it been since he lived such a life!

After he finally entered a small town, he found out that it was ten days away from the county town. Dong Yi frowned and had no choice but to buy a horse and leave with a quick horse.

According to the principle of proximity, you should just go to the county town to buy that valley.

Unfortunately, after Dong Yi had a hard time, he entered the county government office in the name of buying mountains. He did not see the valley in the county government's geographical map record. Even if he went to the surrounding county government office, he did not find it. In desperation, Dong Yi had to buy the mountain closest. Because it was remote, rarely visited, the mountains were steep, and the mountains could not be built or cultivated, so the price was not expensive. Dong Yi only paid eight or nine hundred taels to buy a mountain peak, and went to three county government offices in a row and bought all the nearby mountains. Dong Yi then realized that the valley seemed to be an area that no one knew, or the entrance there was too hidden, so it did not appear on the geographical map record.

This perception made him excited for a long time. You should know that there should be many such places in Daliang, but very few of them were revealed. Even if they were revealed, there were already people there. I didn’t expect that he would have such luck and could still see such a valley.

Because of this understanding, Dong Yi couldn't sit still. He was worried that someone would find it there, so he took those idle mountain contracts and was about to return. He had to prepare the materials for building the house this year. After the New Year, he would transport these things and start building the village. At that time, he would probably have to bring a few people there. Otherwise, he would not know that it would be built until the year of the Monkey and Horse Month to build the village. However... Dong Chenghu said before that this place will be the last way for the Dong family to retreat in the future. I was afraid that I would choose a reliable person and I didn't know how to choose it.

Dong Yi sighed and went straight through Qingping Mountain from this valley to Cuizhu Mountain. In this way, you can definitely reach Cuizhu Mountain in just one month. It is hard to say what else will you gain on the road. As for such dangers, Dong Yi, who has been walking outside for many years, has long since been seriously involved.

It was already the end of November when he returned to Cuizhu Mountain. It was already snowing in the mountains at this time, but the snow was not thick, so it would not be difficult for people to pass through.

Thick door curtains were hung on the doors of all the houses of Dong's house, keeping the wind and snow outside the house. In the main room, Gu Shuixiu and Dong Yunlan were doing embroidery work in the main room. There were two little babies playing around, one was Dong Qinyan, who was just one year old, and the other was Dong Yunlan's eight-month-old son Yang Zixuan. This child was taken care of by Mi Shi when she was born, and Dong Yunlan didn't have to worry about it. Because Mi Shi didn't come to Dong's house often, Gu Shuixiu rarely saw this child. Now winter is here. Mi Shi was feeling uncomfortable during this period, so the child was taken care of by Dong Yunlan.

Gu Shuixiu was worried that she would be busy teaching embroidery work alone, serving her mother-in-law, and taking care of her son. She couldn't do it, so she asked Dong Yunlan to bring the child over to raise Dong Qinyan, and the two children were more lively together.

However, after the two children were put together, Gu Shuixiu finally realized something was wrong. Compared with Yang Zixuan, Dong Qinyan seemed to be like an adult. It was not that she did something extraordinary, but that she had been quiet. Gu Shuixiu put a small thing in front of them, and Yang Zixuan would immediately reach out to grab it and play with her face full of interest.

Dong Qinyan was expressionless and was not interested in these things at all. Sometimes she took something lazily and looked through it, and Yang Zixuan saw it. This kid would definitely snatch it. At this time, Dong Qinyan would definitely give him the toys obediently. You must know that Dong Qinyan is four months older than Yang Zixuan, and Yang Zixuan is still unable to crawl smoothly. Dong Qinyan can already walk by herself tremblingly.

Under such a big gap, if Dong Qinyan is afraid of Yang Zixuan, Gu Shuixiu will not believe it. It is precisely because of this that Gu Shuixiu is more interested in Dong Qinyan, and she doesn’t know who this child is following?

Dong Yunlan has gone from being surprised at the beginning to being used to it now, and I don’t know what she thinks. Sometimes Dong Qinyan walks around them with a small toy, and Dong Yunlan will tease the little guy and ask her to help get something. Every time Dong Qinyan can put the right thing in front of Dong Qinyan, which makes everyone amazed.

Gu Shuixiu made some snacks for everyone in the kitchen, grinding glutinous rice and sesame powder, mixed with frosting, made glutinous rice balls for everyone, and made some sweet porridge with pickled osmanthus candy water for everyone to have afternoon tea. This is the time when Dong Yunlan and others enjoy it the most.

Before food, even the hardworking Dong Yunlan has to put down her work and invite Dong Qingqing and Dong Youyou to come and eat together.

Gu Shuixiu brought sweet porridge to feed Dong Qinyan and Yang Zixuan bit by bit.

Dong Yunlan said with a happy look on her face: "Sister-in-law, you can eat it yourself. Isn't there Cuixi and the others? Every time you do it yourself, look how embarrassed Cuixi and the others are standing there!"

Dong Yulan signaled Gu Shuixiu to look at Cuixiu and Meijing. Sure enough, they looked like they were reluctant to say something. Gu Shuixiu said with a funny look: "There are still a lot left in the kitchen. You can go and eat it first. After you finish eating, come and help me see the child. In addition, Cuifu also gave some to Yang Yi, Yu Qi and Dong Shan. Everyone had a few bites and tasted it."
