A mysterious space in a remote mountain village. The small farmer who returned from the bustling city began his legendary life. Wild temples and martial arts sects gradually transform the peaceful mountains and forests into a noisy place. Li Qingyun said, "Actually, I'm just a second-generation farmer..." In my spare time, I would go hunting in the mountains for three to five days, leading a yellow dog on the left and holding a falcon on the right, enjoying a carefree life. During busy seasons, they fish, pick melons, and plant fruit trees, working hard and sweating profusely, which brings them a house full of gold and silver. Here lies a celestial field, where you may do as you please. Sow melons and you will reap melons, sow beans and you will reap beans; sow in the corners of the heavens and you will reap boundless harvests. —My new book, "Shennong, Don't Make Trouble," has been uploaded.
