Upon reaching the village entrance, the camera crew was immediately captivated by an ancient stone archway.

The archway, blanketed in moss and weathered by the elements, showed significant signs of corrosion.

Once inside the village, the cameraman's hands visibly shook.

"This place is full of ancient architecture."

"These appear to be Ming Dynasty styles."

"The preservation of these buildings is remarkable!"

"How have I never heard of such an intact ancient village?"

The entire crew was astounded.

They felt as though they had stumbled upon a hidden treasure!

"Walking here is like stepping back in time. It's incredible!"

Lin Luqin hopped around excitedly.

Zhao Yuegu nodded in agreement.

He had felt the same upon his arrival, almost believing he had been transported to ancient times.

But over time, he had grown accustomed to the surroundings.

The villagers, struggling even to afford meals, paid little mind to the ancient structures.

Besides, their living conditions paled in comparison to modern standards.

Entering the village, they saw numerous elders seeking shade under the trees.

"Zhao's back."

"We're so secluded here; no one would bother stealing watermelons."

A quick look revealed the state of the village.

Most residents were either ill or disabled.

Those who were able-bodied had long since departed.

Thus, the community of over fifty households relied heavily on one another.

Zhao Yuegu warmly greeted each person.

Lin Luqin followed, her surprise evident.

"I didn't realize you were so well-liked here."

"Well, I am one of the few young people around."

Orphaned, Zhao Yuegu and his sister had been raised by the villagers.

Nearly everyone was ill, yet the elders still shared their best food with Zhao Yuegu.

They hoped that when their time came, he would lay them to rest.

Lin Luqin drew the curious gazes of these elders.

"I've never seen this young lady before!"

An elderly woman approached for a closer look.

"She's quite beautiful. Zhao Yuegu, is she your bride?"

"She's a bit on the slender side; she should have more nourishing food."

"Zhao Yuegu is a good boy. Marrying him would surely bring you happiness."

When Lin Luqin heard the remark, her cheeks instantly flushed with embarrassment.

"You've got it all wrong."

"What's that? I didn't catch it."

The elders, who were out enjoying the cool air, gathered around curiously.

It was only then they noticed that Zhao Yuegu was followed by a group of strangers.

"Are these folks related to the young lady?"
