Chapter 2577

The bronze statue was truly massive, standing three meters tall—more than a meter taller than a real person.

"We thought it wasn't big enough either. But the Zhu family said the Divine Doctor dislikes a high-profile life, so this height is sufficient," the old man explained.

"Don't you have the surname Zhu?" Zhu Yanyi caught the nuance in her words.

"No, I don't. But I share the same surname as the Divine Doctor's maternal family. My name is Xie. If we count back five hundred years, we are family. I am a descendant of Censor Xie," the old man said with an open-minded demeanor.

Zhu Yanyi nodded. "I see the development here is very natural."

"The environment here must not be destroyed," the old man said seriously. "Let me tell you, young ones, you don't know the Divine Doctor's abilities. The Divine Doctor blessed us, giving us good health. And the Divine Doctor's father was the first founder of the Azure Sovereign Group here. He led everyone through hard times. So, my grandfather's generation left a family rule: no developing this place into a tech industrial park. We must protect the environment. Unexpectedly, because of this, it became a tourist spot."

The old man’s face lit up with excitement. "Now, every household runs a farmstay. We make money from these fields and wild game. Do you two want to stay at my place?"

"Sure." Zhu Yanyi and Yan Aohan exchanged a glance and smiled. "We would be honored."

"You are not disturbing us at all." The old man looked delighted. "Tourists love our farmstays. If you like, you can go see over there. That is the old residence of Zhu Yanyi's family. People still live there. Zhu Yanyi's younger brother, our nation's God of Mathematics, Zhu Zhibin, is still alive. I heard she retired and lives there now."

"Zhu Zhibin lives there?" Zhu Yanyi was slightly stunned. She hadn't expected to see her here. She had assumed she would be in the capital. She glanced at Yan Aohan.

Yan Aohan mouthed a word. Zhu Yanyi nodded slightly, then followed the old man to her home. It was a small villa with several rooms partitioned off. Zhu Yanyi and Yan Aohan took a room on the second floor, paid the fee, and said they would go for a walk.

"If you want to eat farm-style dishes tonight, come back. We start serving at five-thirty. Two large tables, all farm dishes. If you don't eat out, you can come back to eat," the old man reminded them.

"Okay, thank you, sir. We will go for a walk first." Zhu Yanyi and Yan Aohan waved to the old man and left.

Unknowingly, Zhu Yanyi and Yan Aohan arrived at the Zhu family courtyard.

The gate of the Zhu family courtyard was closed. Zhu Yanyi and Yan Aohan wanted to enter. The gate was no obstacle to them, so they walked into the yard.

There were many flowers in the yard: roses, honeysuckle, rosemary, and so on. Persimmon trees were hung with persimmons as big as goose eggs, and pomelo trees were full of pomelos. The yard was truly filled with the fragrance of fruit and flowers.

"Coming here reminds me of my youth. Husband, what about you?" Zhu Yanyi looked at Yan Aohan beside her.

Yan Aohan smiled slightly. "Where you are, there is my home."

Home is defined by the heart. Yan Aohan's home had always been with Zhu Yanyi.

Hearing this, a touch of emotion flashed in Zhu Yanyi's eyes. She smiled. "We are both old now, saying such things. People will laugh at you if they hear it."

"Old?" Yan Aohan raised an eyebrow. "Wife, considering our endless lives, 'old' cannot be applied to us."

Zhu Yanyi made a funny face. "Here, we are old."

After speaking, Zhu Yanyi looked at the rosemary nearby and smiled. "These rosemary plants are grown quite well."

"If you like them, you can plant some in the Underworld. You have the seeds anyway," Yan Aohan said, knowing Zhu Yanyi loved herbs.

Zhu Yanyi hummed in agreement.

At that moment, a voice was heard. Zhu Yanyi looked up and saw a young man pushing a wheelchair out. The person in the wheelchair was Zhu Zhibin.

Although Zhu Zhibin was over a hundred years old, her face looked no older than forty or fifty. She resembled Zhu Shunyo, and Zhu Yanyi recognized her at a glance.

"Doumiao." Zhu Yanyi looked at Zhu Zhibin, her gaze shifting to her legs. Her expression changed slightly. "What happened to your legs?"

Zhu Yanyi had nurtured Zhu Zhibin's body since she was a child, so she knew her health had always been good. She never expected her to be in a wheelchair now.

Zhu Zhibin was stunned to see Zhu Yanyi and Yan Aohan. "Sister, Brother-in-law." Her voice trembled. She seemed unable to believe she would see them in her lifetime.

Zhu Yanyi looked at Zhu Zhibin. "What is there to be surprised about? Don't you recognize us?"

"No~ no." Zhu Zhibin's eyes were full of joy. "You, how did you come here? I thought I would never see you again in this life."

Tears fell from his eyes. At this moment, Zhu Zhibin looked like a wronged child, very sad.

Zhu Yanyi walked over and rubbed Zhu Zhibin's head. "Crying at your age? If you have grievances, just say them. With your sister and brother-in-law here, what are you afraid of?"

She then took her pulse. "Your legs are blocked, and your meridians are hardened. This was caused by external injury. It was done by humans. What happened?"

Zhu Zhibin looked at Zhu Yanyi. "It's nothing, just an accident. Without you here, although medical skills have improved, they are still insufficient. So I decided to retire."

Zhu Zhibin looked indifferent.

"Doumiao, are you lying to me? Do you think your sister is faking it?" Zhu Yanyi glared at Zhu Zhibin, then said, "Come on, let's go back and treat your legs first."

Zhu Zhibin nodded, then seemed to remember the person behind him. "Sister, this is my grandson, Zhu Renjie. His generation uses the character 'Ren'. He also studies medicine and has been taking care of me recently."

Zhu Zhibin said to Zhu Renjie, "Hurry up and greet them."

"Auntie, Great-Uncle." Zhu Renjie never expected to see the legendary figures. Most importantly, they looked so young, almost the same age as him.

"Good boy." Zhu Yanyi smiled gently and took out a small pendant, handing it to Zhu Renjie. "Wear this on your body. It can nourish your health."

"Thank you, Auntie." Zhu Renjie knew that what Zhu Yanyi gave would certainly not be bad. She excitedly put it away.
