Wanshan is located in the southeast of Huaxia, with high mountains and dense forests, deep ravines, and strange rocks. The elders say that there are spirits and strange creatures in the mountains that can summon wind and rain, move mountains, and fill seas.
However, no one has ever witnessed such things, and gradually everyone has come to regard these tales as legends, becoming stories told to children at bedtime or under the big tree at the village entrance by the elders.
Wuan County is a small county under Wanshan, with nine towns and dozens of villages. Transportation is inconvenient, and bicycles and motorcycles are still the daily means of transport for people.
Luo Family Village is a village under Ban Stone Town in Wuan County, consisting of only three hundred households, all with the surname Luo. The village is located deep within Wuan County, with the only way out being a winding mountain road. Such roads are generally not suitable for cars, but today the tranquility of the mountain road was shattered by the roar of an engine as a car sped by as if ignoring the abyss at the roadside.
The driver is none other than the Ancient Sorcerer. After receiving a call from Luo Tieniu, he rushed home from Guanghai City. Despite having driven for a day and night, there was not a hint of fatigue on his face.
“Whoosh~~~~”
Thick smoke was exhaled from his mouth, quickly carried away by the mountain breeze, disappearing in an instant.
The Ancient Sorcerer had a tense expression; although he wasn't clear on the situation, it was certainly serious. Otherwise, Jiu Ye wouldn't have summoned him back.
“Hmph! No matter who it is, anyone who dares to reach out recklessly must pay the price!”
A cold smile appeared at the corner of Ancient Sorcerer's mouth. He believed in not provoking others unless provoked himself, but if someone stepped on his toes, he would not hesitate to let them know what true ruthlessness meant!
As soon as Ancient Sorcerer entered the village, a group of children quickly followed behind his car— even if someone bought a new motorcycle in this village, it would attract attention, let alone a luxury vehicle like a Land Rover.
“Brother Tian, it's Brother Tian who has returned.”
“Wow, this car is so cool!”
From the open car window, they saw the Ancient Sorcerer, and the children excitedly got up, blocking the front of the car and refusing to move.
"Get out of the way, you little brats."
The children clearly feared the owner of the voice and quickly scattered.
"Jiu Ye."
As soon as the Ancient Sorcerer saw an old man walking over, he immediately pushed open the car door and jumped down.
"Alright, let's go home first. After dinner, we will head to the ancestral hall."
The nearly hundred-year-old Jiu Ye had a youthful face with white hair and a kind expression, but his words were filled with a murderous aura.
"Okay, I understand."
The Ancient Sorcerer's home was at the far end of the village. As soon as the car stopped in front of the Yard, a nearly two-meter-tall man rushed out from inside. He had a dark complexion and eyes like copper bells, thick lips, and his bare upper body was muscular like bricks. He wore only a pair of shorts, and his legs looked like they were made of iron; it was Luo Tieniu.
"Brother Tian! Tsk tsk, this car is really nice."
As soon as he saw the Land Rover, Luo Tieniu immediately kicked the tires hard a few times, making a "bang bang" sound.
"Go play by yourself."
Ancient Sorcerer flicked his hand and threw the keys to Luo Tieniu, then turned to walk into the Yard.
"Where's the fun in fighting? Brother Tian, you have to take me along this time."
With the keys in hand, Luo Tieniu quickly followed Ancient Sorcerer inside. There was a big incident in the village, and he thought it was likely that a fight would break out. Such "good things" were not something Luo Tieniu wanted to miss. However, he needed to stay close and act quickly, rushing to the front; otherwise, if Ancient Sorcerer took down everyone, there would be nothing left for him.
Thus, despite the strong allure of Lu Hu, Luo Tieniu simply gave it up.
Upon entering the Yard, Ancient Sorcerer immediately saw his father, Luo Zhu, sitting on a chair.
"Dad."
"Ancient Sorcerer, why are you back? Aren't you in the army?"
Hearing voices from outside, Su Cui walked out of the kitchen and was both surprised and delighted to see her son had returned.
"I heard something happened in the village, so I came back to check it out."
"Hehehe, it was me who called Brother Tian."
Luo Tieniu scratched his head and smiled foolishly.
"Tie Niu, who told you to call Ancient Sorcerer!"
After being glared at by Su Cui, Luo Tieniu shrank his head and dared not speak.
"You two listen to me, you are not allowed to go looking for a fight."
How could Su Cui not know about the happenings in the village? She immediately became alert.
Luo Zhu shot a glare at Su Cui and said, "Why do you care so much about the affairs of the master? Just kill that chicken at home, and we can have a few drinks tonight."
"Anyway, no fighting! Otherwise, I won't spare you."
Su Cui glared at the three of them and turned to catch the chicken.
"I ran into Jiu Ye at the village entrance when I came back. He asked me to go to the ancestral hall tonight."
"Alright, I won't go tonight; you all can go."
...
As night slowly fell, the lights hanging on the pillars lit up, illuminating the entire Yard. The air was filled with the aroma of food, making one salivate.
"Delicious."
Luo Tieniu stuffed a chicken butt into her mouth, biting down hard and making a sizzling sound.
"Eat more."
Su Cui picked up a chicken leg and placed it on Luo Tieniu's bowl. In her eyes, both Luo Tieniu and the Ancient Sorcerer were like her sons.
The Ancient Sorcerer was shoveling rice into his mouth while saying, "How is my sister doing now?"
The Ancient Sorcerer had an older sister named Roland Zhi, who got married to Yan Da a year ago. Yan Da was a teacher at the local elementary school.
"I visited her last week; she's five months pregnant now. Yan Da is honest and treats her well. Since you're back, you should find some time to visit her."
A smile bloomed on Su Cui's face. Isn't it what one hopes for in life, to see their children happy? Naturally, she was pleased that her daughter had married well.
"Yeah, okay."
"Ancient Sorcerer, you're not young anymore; you need to think about marriage. I'm looking forward to having grandchildren. Look at the grandchild next door from the Luo Jian family; he can already run errands."
Luo Tieniu chuckled and said, "Aunt, you're right. Brother Tian needs to be more proactive."
Giving Luo Tieniu a glare, the Ancient Sorcerer said, "You're the same age as me; if I need to be proactive, so do you."
"Yes, Tie Niu, you're not a kid anymore. I was chatting with your mom yesterday, and she mentioned wanting to ask Aunt Wu to introduce you to someone."
Luo Tieniu's face turned red; he never expected to be caught in this situation.
"Well... maybe... in a few more years..."
Aunt Wu is a matchmaker named Luo Xiangqin. In the past decade, she has successfully matched at least eighty couples, and her reputation is well-known in dozens of nearby towns.
Ancient Sorcerer and Luo Tieniu devoured their meals quickly and soon finished eating.
After finishing the soup in his bowl, Ancient Sorcerer wiped his mouth and said, "Mom, I'm full. I'm going out for a walk with Tie Niu. I'll be back later."
"Okay, be careful."
Watching Ancient Sorcerer and Luo Tieniu get into the car and slowly disappear into the night, Su Cui said worriedly, "Luo Zhu, what do you think about this situation..."
"This isn't just our family's matter; it's the whole village's concern. Ancient Sorcerer and Tie Niu are part of the village too."
Luo Zhu waved his hand to interrupt Su Cui. He understood his wife's concerns, but since they were from Luo Family Village, it was ultimately Ancient Sorcerer's responsibility.
