“Zheng Yuan, you are growing up. Even though you are not yet ofage, but you are pretty mature. Some things we need to keep from Zheng Bin andLan Lan, but we should loop you in. You are a boy, and will be the backbone ofthe family, we can’t keep hiding things from you.”
Cheng Xiao Xiao brought her brother out so she could talk to himin private. Pointing at the villagers in front of them, she said, “Zheng Yuan,you should know that our well had only been there for a couple of months.”
“I know!” Cheng Zheng Yuan hadn’t quite figure out what she wastrying to tell him yet, but he listened carefully.
Cheng Xiao Xiao smiled nonchalantly, “Zheng Yuan, all ourpossession has a hint of mythical air, and these were all due to the mythicalspring. Otherwise, these won’t be happening to us.”
“Mythical spring!” Cheng Zheng Yuan muttered to himself. He wasaware of this, but he never asked how the well just appeared over night.
Nor did he know why his father hired the villagers to water thebamboos with water from the well. His parents never clarified it. Now he couldn’t help but to ask, “Big sister,why did we ask the villagers to water the bamboo forest?”
“Simple, because you guys like to cultivate in the bamboo forest.Our well water is from mythical spring. I want to turn the bamboo forest intomythical bamboos, that will enhance your cultivation.” Cheng Xiao Xiao smiled.
Suddenly, Cheng Zheng Yuan’s eyes brightened and he shouted,“Awesome, big sister! Converting the bamboo forest into mythical forest! That’samazing! No wonder I felt that this bamboo forest is looking more and moredifferent!”
“Exactly, we want to slowly enhance this place, enhance ourfamily. I want to turn this into the best sacred land there are!”
“This….” Cheng Zheng Yuan was surprised, but also excited. Withwidened eyes, he asked, “Big sister, is that really possible?”\n“Why not? We are already in the process of doing so.”
Cheng Xiao Xiao casually picked a locket of waterfall-like longhair and twirled it around with her fingers. Smiling, she said, “Others havemythical veins, we have mythical spring. It’s not unfathomable to create asacred land, a paradise. Zheng Yuan, don’t worry. Our home will definitely bean unique existence!”
“Big sister!” Cheng Zheng Yuan was moved. He looked steadfastly atthe fair woman in front of him. She’s his sister. He knew she had chanced a lotsince she was injured, and had lost all her memories before the event. But noneof these were important, as long as she was still his sister.
Now the older sister had changed. She was still the same person asbefore, her personality was the same. The only difference was that she wassecretive now. Like she has many, many secrets, and at the same time, she wasbecoming more and more resourceful.
He didn’t ask what brought about the change. Subtly he had noticedthat the parents were relying more and more on his sister. At the same time,the change inside the family had allowed him to see another kind of hope.
Powerful, powerful hope.
He hadn’t forgot what the days were like before – being bullied bythose in the same family and even banished from the family. His parents enduredthe humility and fled to this place, yet the family still followed, trying tokill them. They injured his father and his sister and almost destroyed hisentire family.
That was the moment when he swore that if he could survive that,he would kill them all!
That was his duty. So he had to become strong. Strong enough toprotect his family, and seek revenge!
“Zheng Yuan, something you want to share?” Picking up the lookingon her brother’s face, Cheng Xiao Xiao couldn’t help but to ask.\n___
