Xu Changqing moved into the hut by the grass.
Every day, he would go up to the mountains to chop wood, make charcoal, and provide the old Taoist with what he needed to refine pills. Gradually, he became acquainted with the young Taoist apprentices, Qingfeng and Mingyue.
Both of them were orphans, taken in by the old Taoist from a young age. The boy was called Qingfeng and the girl was Mingyue.
After eating the pastries he prepared, they would sweetly call him 'brother', reminding Xu Changqing of the innocent faces of the children in Xiaozhai Village.
Strange enough, after the Grandpa arrived here, he basically remained silent, only allowing Xu Changqing to eat the food provided by the two Taoist apprentices.
Thus, half a month passed in a flash.
During this period, he gained several more 'companions'!
A scholarly man in a green robe, a young Taoist with strange eyes, and a young girl in red.
