After they sat in the courtyard for a while, Ji Xun brought out a table from the house and the middle aged man brought out a few plates of food from the kitchen.

It seemed that it was quite good. It was also a happy thing to be able to eat a hot meal while travelling.

"All of you should eat more. It's just plain rice and coarse tea. I hope you don't mind." The middle-aged man spoke politely as well.

It seemed like the people Ji Xun knew were all pretty good, with good character.

Uncle, you should sit down and eat as well. Ji Xun ran into the house and brought out a stool for the middle aged man.

"You guys eat first, I'm not hungry yet." The middle-aged man felt that he should just wait until they had all eaten before eating.

"Big Bro, come and eat while it's hot. You'll have to trouble to warm up when the food gets cold." Mo Dalin moved to sit a little to make space for his.

"That's fine too." The middle-aged man also sat down to eat.

He ate until he was full, and after eating, Ji Xun burped in satisfaction.

Some of the rooms had not been cleaned up. It was already dark by the time they finished their meal. It would take some time to clean up, so they would squeeze in for the night.

Mo Xiaoyan slept in the large room with Lady Li and Liu Yuemei, while Mo Linyu slept in the small room beside theirs.

He originally thought that he would hurry on his way since he had woken up early in the morning. However, he didn't expect that the middle-aged man would wake up early to prepare breakfast.

After dinner, he bid farewell and continued on his way.

Fortunately, the journey was smooth. They had already traveled for more than ten days and had soon arrived at the valley.

Since it was impossible to enter the valley through the carriage, he took down his luggage and Ji Xun brought the carriage over to the house of the man. The only thing he could do now was to walk.

"Where are we going down from?" Mo Linyu stood at the side of the road and looked around, but didn't find any road that led downwards.

"I don't know either, I forgot. Brother Ji Xun knows, we will wait for him." Mo Xiaoyan was still a little embarrassed. After all, she had walked through it once before, and this time she had actually forgotten where the road was. It was too covert, and even if she walked once, ordinary people might not be able to remember the road.

"Is the way down the mountain steep?" Lady Li felt that the road ahead would definitely be difficult.

"Yeah, it was a bit steep, but that was up there, so it was a bit easier than down there." Mo Xiaoyan also knew that going up the mountain was easy but hard.

"Oh, I'm more afraid of going downhill." Lady Li felt her legs go weak just thinking about it.

"Don't worry, I'll just pull you along later. Take your time." After all, understood Lady Li after being husband and wife for so many years.

Actually, such a steep road was really hard to walk on. If one's feet accidentally slipped, then one would definitely fall down.

After Ji Xun came over, he led Mo Xiaoyan and her family down the mountain.

At the start, when they walked down the steep slope, they felt that their legs were too weak to go, since they were older than Mo Linyu and the rest. Hence, they were afraid of going down this path.

"Mom, give me the package." Mo Linyu could tell that it was difficult for the Lady Li to walk.

After all, when they lived in the village, they didn't have such steep slopes. Even the downhill road wasn't that steep, so Lady Li didn't walk on such steep roads.

"Alright." Lady Li took off his bag and gave it to Mo Linyu.

When he was descending, Mo Dalin had always been pulling on Lady Li's hand, slowly moving one step at a time, afraid that he would fall down.

Ji Xun was right behind him, keeping a close eye on him. If anything happened to Ji Xun, he would immediately grab hold of him.

Mo Xiaoyan took a lot of things, so it was even more inconvenient to go down.

"Xiaoyan, let me help you carry your luggage." Ji Xun said with good intentions.

"Brother Ji Xun, there's no need. I will take it myself." Mo Xiaoyan rejected Ji Xun's good intentions.

"If you take too many things, I'll just take a small bag, so I'll help you carry it. Otherwise, it'll take a long time to do this. You'll be too exhausted after walking for a while." Ji Xun insisted.

"Big Brother Ji Xun, there's really no need for it, I can take it." It was not that Mo Xiaoyan was not tired, but she took this opportunity to train herself.

"Okay then. If you're tired, you can tell me. I'll help you get it. It's too dangerous here, so you have to be careful." Ji Xun reminded his out of good intentions.

"Alright, I understand." Mo Xiaoyan said crisply.

Mo Xiaoyan and Liu Yuemei were both walking very slowly, so they were delayed for a long time and couldn't rest on their feet midway. They had no choice but to bite the bullet and walk forward.

Mo Xiaoyan rather admired Ji Xun. It seemed that he had gotten used to coming out often, even on this road.

After walking for about an hour, they were tired to the point that their heads were covered in sweat and their legs were trembling.

Ji Xun was afraid that he would tire Mo Xiaoyan out, so he asked to help her carry the burden again, but was rejected in the end.

This time, Mo Xiaoyan didn't want to rely on anyone else and wanted to carry her own burden down.

There was a small path down there that was even steeper than before. Lady Li slipped and directly dragged Mo Dalin down, but luckily Ji Xun's eyes were sharp and he quickly ran in front of him and grabbed onto Mo Dalin's hand, preventing them from falling.

Lady Li was so scared that her heart almost jumped out of her throat.

Mo Dalin's body was also scratched, but fortunately it was not serious.

Mo Xiaoyan was already sweating profusely in her heart. Fortunately, Ji Xun was here just now, otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

"Uncle, Aunt, it won't be too steep after walking for a short distance. When the time comes, you can sit and rest for a while, drink some water and eat something before continuing your journey." Ji Xun wiped the sweat off his forehead and said.

Ji Xun, we have truly dragged you down. Mo Dalin felt very embarrassed.

"What are you talking about? The road here is very steep, you have never walked such a steep road before. It must be very difficult to do so, I understand that." Ji Xun said with a simple and honest face.

"Xiaoyan, Yuemei is too dangerous here, you must be careful when you leave." Mo Dalin loudly warned.

"Alright, I understand dad." Mo Xiaoyan replied.

When they finally reached the end of the short stretch of road, the road at the bottom wasn't that steep anymore. They found a slightly less steep place to stop and rest.

Mo Xiaoyan was already very hungry, she took the water bag and started to gulp down the water.

"Brother Ji Xun, is this not far from the valley?" Mo Xiaoyan asked after she finished drinking the water.

"Yeah, it's not too far. We'll arrive soon." Ji Xun replied with a smile.
