Yunxi Village is surrounded by mountains on three sides and water on one,

ever since ancient times, the village had more females than males, leading to its nicknames: Village of Beauties and Village of Widows.

Chu Yang stood at the entrance of the village, where a few kids were bullying an old woman who was both insane and foolish.

Now that he had honorably discharged, returning to his hometown, his heart was overwhelmed with emotions.

"This time returning to the village, I have to show filial piety to my parents, take a beautiful wife, bear a child…" Chu Yang hadn't been home for six years and was eager to see his parents again.

"You fool, kneel down quickly so we can ride the big horse," a kid shouted at the old woman who was insane, foolish, her clothes tattered, and her body filthy.

"Right, right, right, kneel down quickly. We want to ride the big horse, ride the big horse."

Smack! Smack! Smack!!!

The other kids, holding whips in their hands, lashed the foolish woman fiercely, "Kneel down. We want to ride the big horse, we want to ride the big horse."

The fool, giggling and clapping, was about to lie down, "Okay, okay, ride the big horse, ride the big horse."

Chu Yang glanced at the children and the old, foolhardy woman, about to avert his gaze.

Suddenly.

He felt a sense of familiarity with the fool, took a closer look, and his mind exploded with a bang.

This fool was his mother, Zhang Yuman.

Chu Yang roared, "Mother!"

"Mother... how did you come to be like this…" Chu Yang's eyes seemed ready to burst from their sockets, his hands clenched tight, his body shaking uncontrollably.

His mother… had actually become a fool…

Chu Yang's mother was about to kneel on the ground to be a horse for those kids to ride.

Chu Yang rushed over, his face twisted with fury, "Get lost, all of you, get lost."

At that moment, Chu Yang's murderous intent was fully exposed, the temperature around plummeted, and what was a sweltering summer seemed to suddenly enter a harsh winter.

The kids, scared by Chu Yang's ferocious demeanor, cried loudly.

Chu Yang grabbed his mother's dirty, cracked, and rough hands, "Mother, I am Chu Yang. How did you end up like this?"

"Do you recognize me? I am Chu Yang, do you?"

"Ouch, ouch, ouch…" Chu Yang's mother cried out in pain.

"Ahhh…" Chu Yang let out an anguished roar.

After six years, his mother had become insane, a simpleton, treated like an animal, ridden like a horse. Chu Yang's heart bled, he was filled with guilt and self-blame.

"Ouch, ouch… it hurts so much…" Chu Yang's mother cried out in pain again.

Chu Yang suppressed the anger in his heart and took his mother's hand, "Mother… let's go home… I'll take you home…"

Chu Yang led Zhang Yuman to their family home.

The door to his house was tightly closed.

Bang! Bang! Bang!!!

Chu Yang knocked on the door.

"Who is it?" Chu Aimin's voice came from inside the courtyard.

"Father, it's me, Chu Yang. I've come back," Chu Yang said.

Clang.

Thump.

Inside the courtyard, something seemed to have been knocked over and fallen to the ground.

"Chu Yang... you... have come back… Dad will open the door for you…" Chu Aimin's voice was excited, his hands groping as he made his way to the door, and he pulled back the door bolt.

His hands felt Chu Yang's body, touched his shoulders, then his face, "It's my son... it's Chu Yang... you've grown taller... much sturdier than before..."

"Good, good, good!!! It's good that you're back... it's good that you're back..."

Chu Aimin's words were incoherent as his hands continuously touched Chu Yang's face.

Chu Yang, looking at Chu Aimin's vacant eyes, trembled in his voice, "Dad... you... your eyes... what happened?"

"My eyesight is gone," Chu Aimin said, touching Chu Yang's face.

Chu Yang's eyes widened with anger, "Dad... how did you lose your sight? How did Mom become insane? How did she become silly? When I left the village, both of you were fine, how did you end up like this? Who did it? I will avenge you."

Chu Aimin let out a sigh, "You know about our family's trouble with Wang Dehong from the Wang Family, don't you?"

Wang Dehong bullied men and women alike, committing all manner of evil deeds.

When Chu Yang was still in the village, Wang Dehong had troubled their family many times, and Wang Dehong's son, Wang Chengcai, often gathered a group of lackeys to bully and beat up Chu Yang.

"Three years ago, Wang Chengcai built a factory in the village and forcefully took over our four acres of farmland. I went to argue with them."

"Who knew that bastard Wang Chengcai, acting inhumanely, not only refused to return our farmland but also beat me up."

"I went to the county to file a complaint, but their people were there too. They beat me up, threatened me not to sue, and I couldn't swallow that insult."

"They didn't let me file a complaint, but I insisted on doing it."

Chu Aimin became emotionally agitated as he spoke, "That night, three years ago, Wang Chengcai brought people to our home and started beating us as soon as he saw me and your mom."

"They hit us very hard; I could tell they intended to beat your mom and me to death."

"Fortunately, your mom and I were lucky to survive."

"Your mom was traumatized and became insane and silly... and I lost my sight then."

Chu Yang clenched his fists tightly, his teeth gritted, "Wang Dehong, Wang Chengcai, blood-deep grudges, irreconcilable enmity, just wait for me. I, Chu Yang, will avenge this a hundredfold, a thousandfold."

He turned to Chu Aimin and said, "Dad, now that I am back, let me handle the family matters."

"I can cure your eyes and Mom's illness," Chu Yang said.

"Chu Yang, can you really cure them?" Chu Aimin was somewhat incredulous.

Chu Aimin's ancestors were practitioners of Chinese medicine, and he, too, was a country doctor in his generation. Chu Yang had learned some medical skills from him since childhood.

"Heh, Dad, don't worry," Chu Yang gave a faint smile. Six years ago, he had obtained a cultivation method, "Mortal Cultivating Immortal Technique."

Chu Yang gained tremendous benefits; his medical skills and martial arts grew rapidly, and his sensory perception, physical strength, and spiritual soul were greatly enhanced.

If he could cultivate this technique to its peak, he would be able to shatter the void, ascend to immortality in daylight, and gain amazing abilities like flying through the sky and moving mountains to fill seas.

Moreover, the cultivation method Chu Yang obtained wasn't just about cultivation. It also included many wondrous and infinitely powerful spells and magic powers. Yet Chu Yang's cultivation level was not high enough to use them for the time being.

Now, his medical skills were perfected, reaching their pinnacle, and he had achieved the realm of Unity of Heaven and Man.

His parents' illnesses were not a difficult matter for him.

Chu Aimin showed a relieved smile, then suddenly remembered something else, "Half a year ago, your mom and I got seriously ill. If Tiezhu's wife, Xu Qianqian, hadn't dragged us to the hospital in the dead of night, we would have died."

Chu Yang felt grateful for this woman named Xu Qianqian, "Dad, who is this Xu Qianqian?"

Chu Aimin sighed, "Xu Qianqian is Zhao Tiezhu's wife, also a tragic and pitiable woman."

"Two years ago, she married Zhao Tiezhu. A month after their marriage, Zhao Tiezhu and his parents suddenly died in a car accident, leaving only her behind."

"Later, it was discovered that she was pregnant with Zhao Tiezhu's child. She gave birth to a daughter who recently contracted a strange illness that can only be treated with Mountain King Ginseng as the medicine catalyst. These past few days, she's been frantically searching for Mountain King Ginseng in the mountains like a madwoman."

At that moment, a knock on the door was heard.

Bang, bang, bang!!!

"Who is it?" Chu Aimin asked.

"It's me, Xu Qianqian." Xu Qianqian's voice rose from outside the door.
