Like a Paradise
Su Binglan was happy and revealed a satisfied smile when she saw the chestnuts. Although she was picking chestnuts, she felt like she picked up gold coins instead.
Luo Jin’an looked at Su Binglan seriously and thought she always exuded a touching aura. Su Binglan looked like she possessed a unique power.
Many villagers had gone to the back of the mountain, but they thought chilies were poisonous and that they shouldn’t eat them. Instead, they knew chestnuts were edible, and the villagers recognized them as a food source.
Whenever the villagers went to the back of the mountain, they would usually look for wood and hunt, but they never found chestnuts.
Only Su Binglan could find them even though she had just entered the woods. It was a little strange to Luo Jin’an.
Su Binglan did not know she possessed a koi constitution and could find treasures wherever she went.
Su Binglan quickly picked up a lot of chestnuts.
“There are still a lot of chestnuts here, but we only brought one basket. We should come back tomorrow with more baskets.”
If Luo Jin’an weren’t here, Su Binglan could have filled her pocket dimension with all these things.
Luo Jin’an said briefly, “Okay.”
Su Binglan was in a good mood and said, “We can cook some fried chestnuts and French fries for Xuexuan and Xuexhai tonight. My nephews will love them!”
Luo Jin’an continued, “Yes.”
Su Binglan was just talking to herself. Whenever she traveled to the countryside, she would always feel like herself and was lively by nature. She sounded cheerful whenever she spoke, like a silver bell.
Su Binglan spoke to herself when she suddenly realized that Luo Jin’an had answered her. Although it was only one word, it was still a response.
According to her predecessor’s memories, Luo Jin’an had never answered her predecessor’s words before. He never seemed to hear what her predecessor said.
Su Binglan turned to look at Luo Jin’an, blinked her eyes, and didn’t see anything unusual.
Meanwhile, the sun had set in the west, and the two hurriedly walked home in the afterglow. At that time, the villagers had almost returned home as well.
As the two walked down the mountain, they saw white smoke from the chimneys in the village. The smoke signaled that every family in the village was preparing dinner.
Su Binglan felt calm at the sight of the white smoke. Everyone thought she was omnipotent in her past life. She had too many things to do and had several responsibilities on her shoulders. Su Binglan rarely had time for herself.
She felt that she needed to stop and smell the roses from time to time. When she looked at the village’s scenery and the sunset, Su Binglan felt relaxed and comfortable.
Su Binglan found that she liked everything in that era. It was like a paradise in children’s fairy tales.
She felt the need to protect that beautiful village and its people.
Su Binglan didn’t want anyone to destroy this place while bringing her family and the villagers to riches in the future.
The villagers of Su Teng village were all kind-hearted and simple-minded.
Luo Jin’an watched Su Binglan stop in her tracks. Then he looked at her from the sidelines as he noticed a warm glow in Su Binglan’s eyes.
The setting sun’s afterglow shone onto Su Binglan’s body, making her look like a Goddess with a halo around her head.
Luo Jin’an’s expression changed as he asked, “Do you like how beautiful this place is?”
Su Binglan nodded thoughtfully and said, “I do. Don’t you think this place is wonderful?”
Luo Jin’an said leisurely, “It is indeed stunning.”
Living here for a long time would heal one’s heart, and it would gradually make one forget the painful memories of their past.
But could Luo Jin’an truly forget? No, there was still a heavy burden on his shoulders, and his heart was heavy.
