Courtyard House: Starting by inheriting the tradition and suppressing the barbarians.

Time flies like an arrow.

In the blink of an eye, the calendar turned to the winter of 1968.

The outside world remains noisy and restless.

A sea of ​​red flooded the streets and alleys, and rousing slogans were broadcast daily from loudspeakers.

The wind in Beijing was blowing faster and faster.

Many once prominent figures are now teetering on the brink of collapse in this storm.

Even their forces were utterly defeated and sunk to their deaths.

In the Hongxing Courtyard, people were also filled with anxiety.

Ever since Liu Haizhong was sent to clean toilets, Yan Bugui was driven to a latrine, and Bang Geng was exiled to the Northwest.

The beasts in the yard were like tigers whose teeth had been pulled out, each one keeping their tail between their legs.

They were terrified that misfortune might befall them one day.

However, in this turbulent and chaotic world...

The Li family's backyard, however, seemed like a tranquil haven in the eye of the typhoon, utterly peaceful.

......

Late at night, in the main house of the backyard.

Li Xuan locked the doors and windows and drew the thick curtains.

With a thought, he vanished from his spot in an instant.

The next second, he appeared in the Purple Cloud Space.

Here, there is no harsh cold or noise outside, only the warmth of spring all year round and a rich spiritual atmosphere.

"call!--"

Li Xuan took a deep breath, the air filled with the fragrance of herbs.

The black soil in front of us is planted with all kinds of rare medicinal herbs.

The century-old wild ginseng is topped with red seeds, like a string of rubies.

The Ganoderma lucidum, about the size of a washbasin, emitted a faint glow.

And that He Shou Wu (Polygonum multiflorum) has grown into the shape of a human.

This is no ordinary medicinal herb field; it's a living gold mine, a treasure trove of life!

"receive."

With a thought, several mature herbs flew out automatically and landed in the jade box.

[Ding! A 300-year-old wild ginseng has been harvested, gaining 800 merit points.]

[Ding! Host's current physical abilities have reached the human limit. Do you wish to begin the next stage of cultivation?]

"Not open for now".

Li Xuan shook his head.

Now he is sharp-eared and sharp-eyed, incredibly strong, and immune to all diseases.

They are now invincible in this world.

If I keep practicing like this, I'm afraid I'll ascend to heaven in broad daylight, which would be too astonishing.

There's no need to rush.

After processing the medicinal herbs, Li Xuan walked to the Spirit Spring.

There were several fruit trees there, laden with juicy peaches and apples.

This is no ordinary product; it is a spiritual fruit nourished by the water of a spiritual spring.

Regular consumption can not only prolong life but also beautify the skin.

Li Xuan picked a peach, took a bite, and found it juicy, sweet, and delicious.

"Leave a few for Youlin."

Li Xuan revealed a gentle smile.

......

The next day was the weekend, at Beihai Park.

Although the weather was cold, the lake was covered with a thick layer of ice.

But there were still many young people in the park wearing green military uniforms and red armbands.

In a quiet pavilion deep within the park, Li Xuan and Hua Youlin stood side by side.

Hua Youlin was wearing a beige cashmere coat and a red scarf.

Even in this plain winter, it is breathtakingly beautiful.

Despite constant external turmoil.

However, thanks to Li Xuan's protection and the provision of supplies, they were able to escape.

The Hua family was not having a hard time, and they had all returned from out of town.

Hua Youlin looks better than before.

"Brother Xuan, here you go."

Hua Youlin took out a lunchbox that was still warm from her body from her bosom.

When I opened it, I found that it contained dumplings she had made herself.

"This is something my mom specially asked me to bring to you; she said it's pork and scallion filling."

Li Xuan felt a warmth in his heart, took the lunchbox, and casually took out a cloth bag from his shoulder bag and handed it to her.

"What is this?" Hua Youlin asked curiously as she opened it.

Immediately, a sweet fruity aroma wafted over.

Inside the cloth bag were several large, bright red, and juicy peaches.

In this season of heavy snowfall, it's nothing short of a miracle.

"Where...where did these peaches come from?" Hua Youlin was stunned.

"Don't ask, just eat."

Li Xuan affectionately pinched her nose, "These peaches are good for you. When we get back, give your uncle and aunt a couple too."

"Remember, don't let outsiders see this."

Hua Youlin nodded obediently.

She knew Li Xuan had many secrets, but she never asked.

This is the tacit understanding between them.

The two nestled together in the pavilion, gazing at the white pagoda in the distance, enjoying this rare moment of tranquility.

In this chaotic world, to have such peace and sweetness is the greatest luxury.

......

Of course, Li Xuan's carefree life wasn't solely due to the system.

More importantly, because he held a series of protective charms in his hands!

That evening, a Hongqi sedan with a special license plate stopped at the entrance of the alley outside the courtyard house.

The car window rolled down, revealing a dignified yet slightly haggard face.

"Dr. Li, the commander's migraine has flared up again, and he can't sleep because of the pain."

"I specifically requested that you come and see him," the secretary in the car said respectfully.

Li Xuan nodded.

Without asking a single question, he picked up his iconic medicine box and got into the car.

That night, he once again entered that heavily guarded compound.

After a few needles were inserted, the old commander, who had once been a formidable figure on the battlefield, was now tormented by illness.

Finally, his brow relaxed, and he fell into a deep sleep.

As she was leaving, the old commander's wife held Li Xuan's hand, her eyes red with tears, and said, "Little Li, thank you so much."

"The old man said that things are chaotic outside now, and some people have bad intentions."

"But as long as he's alive, anyone who dares to lay a finger on you will be killed!"

This statement is more effective than any imperial edict.

Li Xuan walked out of the courtyard, looked at the starry sky, and remained calm.

That's the source of their confidence.

It was already past midnight when we got back to the courtyard house.

Xu Damao was using the toilet in the yard, wearing his clothes on.

He saw Li Xuan get out of a car, but the car drove away before he could even see the license plate.

"Which deity has Li Xuan connected with this time?"

Xu Damao was so frightened that he almost peed himself.

Although he is now the deputy director.

But he knew in his heart that there were some cars he would never be able to ride in in his lifetime.

There are some people he can never afford to offend in his lifetime.

Li Xuan walked into the backyard and passed by the middle courtyard.

From inside the Jia family's house, one could hear Qin Huairu's suppressed sobs and Sha Zhu's rough, comforting voice.

He shook his head, a hint of disdain playing at the corners of his lips.

This is the spectrum of human existence.

Some people struggle in the quagmire, while others sink into lies.

Li Xuan, however, had already transcended the Three Realms and was no longer bound by the Five Elements.

These days can truly be described as—

Living a carefree life, like an immortal!
