"What should we do now?" Erwa's face lit up upon seeing them, a glimmer of hope for revenge shining through. "Are we just going to let it go?" The scene of his sister and mother dying before his eyes replayed in his mind every day, solidifying his resolve to avenge them no matter what.
"No, we must take revenge, but..." Qing Luan paused for a moment before continuing, "We need to gather our strength and deal with those enemies ourselves." From that moment on, she carried all the hatred on her shoulders.
After coming to this realization, Qing Luan quickly took some silver and bid farewell to Hu Linglong. She entrusted the house given to her by Hu Lingyun to Hu Linglong, assuring her that she would definitely return, which allowed Hu Linglong to let go.
She believed that with Hu Lingyun's abilities, Qian Ming's situation was already resolved, so there was nothing left for her to cling to.
Qing Luan left with Qin'er and the two children, not heading toward the big city but rather toward a village by the sea.
Standing by the shore, the four of them gazed at the calm sea, each with different expressions—some puzzled, some confused, and others curious—only Qing Luan remained serene.
"Sister, why are we here?" Tide asked first, clearly perplexed.
"You'll understand later, but trust me!" Some things lose their original meaning when explained too clearly.
Although Erwa had his doubts, he had received Qing Luan's promise that she would take revenge for the villagers when they grew up in ten years.
A gentleman takes revenge; ten years is not too late!
They settled in a place called Lianhai Village. Qing Luan and Qin'er disguised themselves as boys and instructed Qin'er not to treat her like a lady; from now on, they were siblings. The atmosphere here was peaceful, and the villagers were warm and simple. They did not bully them because they were young; in fact, they took extra care of them, which made Qing Luan feel very touched and nostalgic for the thatched cottage they once lived in.
While the seaside was tranquil, Qing Luan's antics made life anything but peaceful for Qin'er and the others. Every morning before dawn, Qing Luan urged them to get up and run along the beach. Initially resistant, Qin'er eventually joined in due to Qing Luan's relentless threats.
After a few days, everyone not only got sunburned but also felt sore in their arms and thighs, trembling as they walked. Complaints filled the air, but Qing Luan silenced them with a single statement: "If you want to take revenge, you must first strengthen your body." This was also her reason for choosing to come to the countryside.
Having no martial arts skills is not terrifying; what is truly frightening is having a weak body. How can one compete with others if they can't even rely on themselves? Therefore, she needed to enhance their training and ensure they became strong.
On this day, as usual, they ran towards the seaside, only to find the calm surface of the sea suddenly disturbed. Small boats with raised sails were returning, creating a magnificent scene that left those who had never seen it before in awe, including Qing Luan. Although she had seen machinery before, she had never witnessed anything like this and curiously observed.
"Ah, the wind is picking up again. If the fish can't be sold, won't they just have to be thrown away?" Two women carrying buckets and baskets walked past Qing Luan and her companions. One of them spoke with a hint of frustration.
"There's nothing we can do about it. In this weather, even if we salt the fish, they won't last a day," the other woman replied in agreement, sounding equally disheartened. "We should take some to town early and sell them before they spoil."
"That's true," the first woman concurred.
