The little boy, named Yun Xiang, was from this village. His home was not far from the village entrance.

It was a three-room brick and mud house. A middle-aged man was standing outside. When he saw Yun Rui bringing two strangers home, he first gave them a strange look. Fortunately, although the man's attitude was a bit cold, he didn't seem to be hostile.

"Dad, they saved Yun Xiang just now!" Yun Xiang quietly came to the man's side and said timidly.

Hearing Yun Xiang's words, the man's gaze towards Zhang Yuze and the two softened, and he nodded to them, saying, "Come inside!"

Zhang Yuze and Zheng Jie were overjoyed when they saw this.

The two followed the man into the house. The man asked Zhang Yuze and Zheng Jie to sit down, poured them a glass of water, and then looked at them with a hint of gratitude, saying, "Thank you for saving my son!"

Zhang Yuze and Zheng Jie exchanged a glance and smiled, "It's nothing, anyone would have done the same. I wanted to ask if there is a 'Jue Long Cliff' (Dragon Slaughter Cliff) around here?"

The man looked at the two deeply before nodding and saying in a deep voice, "That's right, there is a Jue Long Cliff here! Tell me your purpose! Although you saved my son, I still hope you can leave as soon as possible. This is for your own good!"

Zhang Yuze and Zheng Jie had strange expressions on their faces when they heard the man's words, because his words were very difficult to understand. Zheng Jie stared at the man and said, "I'm here to find the Qi Ling Grass (Mystic Spirit Grass)."

Hearing Zheng Jie's words, the middle-aged man's gaze towards Zheng Jie flashed with a sharp light, which then disappeared.

"You can stay here tonight! If there's nothing else, it's best not to wander around!" With that, the middle-aged man took Yun Xiang and turned to leave.

"I…", "This person is too impolite, right? We saved his child, and the grace of saving a life is greater than anything!" Zheng Jie said angrily after the middle-aged man left.

Zhang Yuze frowned, not speaking, seemingly thinking about something.

"Hey! Are you talking?" Zheng Jie was very dissatisfied when she saw Zhang Yuze being dazed, and couldn't help but nudge his hand with her elbow.

Zhang Yuze shook his head and smiled at Zheng Jie thoughtfully, "Maybe, this person has no ill intentions, just a naturally strange temper!"

Just as Zheng Jie was about to reply, Yun Xiang suddenly came in from outside, carrying a cotton quilt with a smile.

"Brother and sister, come with me! I'll take you to your room." Yun Xiang looked at them and smiled.

Zhang Yuze and Zheng Jie looked at each other before nodding and following behind Yun Xiang.

They followed Yun Xiang to a room. The room was very dusty, and there were many杂物 (sundries) inside. It was obvious that no one had lived there for a long time.

Yun Xiang looked at the two with a smile and said, "Brother and sister, this is your room. Have a good stay tonight. If there's nothing else, I'll leave first."

With that, Yun Xiang turned and left without waiting for the two to speak.

"This little ghost is so clever, so naughty." Zhang Yuze and Zheng Jie shook their heads, looking very helpless.

Suddenly, Zheng Jie seemed to remember something, her face changed, and she said to Zhang Yuze, "There is only one room, how are we two going to stay?"
