Rain Village Qilin Tales: The Mute and the Blind Man’s Everyday Life Raising Kids

That year, within the Bronze Gate, what he brought out was not the Ultimate, but the last warmth left in the world. When the young Zhang Qiling first walked out of the Bronze Gate, he carried away not the secrets of immortality, but a mysterious egg that could survive only through his qilin blood. From then on, through the long years of wandering, he carried a new and precious burden on his silent shoulders. On a snowy night in a ruined temple, the little one was born, helpless and instinctively seeking comfort. He was its only warmth, and it was the only living thing in his boundless solitude. He was its silent, mountain-like father, loving it without reservation and teaching it how to survive and stay alert.
