After respectfully placing the cremation urns of the martyrs amidst the bustling crowd, Chu Feng and his family left the Martyrs' Cemetery in a modest sedan.
These heroes, who had sacrificed themselves for their country, now rested peacefully, witnessing the passage of good times as they had wished before going to war.
The car soon arrived at Lord Chu's Castle.
Chu Feng presented thoughtful gifts from Chen FengXing, Luo Gang, and Ye Mei'er to Duo Duo. As she looked at the exquisite toys and delicious snacks, her eyes lit up with excitement and curiosity.
Yun Muqing, quietly observing the scene, felt a deep sense of contentment and joy in her heart.
"I have something for you too," he said, carefully adorning his graceful neck with a special necklace crafted from bullet shells. Its simplicity carried a subtle elegance. "I've been working on it whenever I missed you over the past few months. It's a necklace I unintentionally created," he explained.
She delicately traced her fingers over the bullet shells, her beautiful eyes reflecting genuine emotion. "I truly love it," she sincerely expressed. For her, the value lay not in material possessions but in the sincerity behind them.
After returning home, Chu Feng spent half a day cherishing every moment with Duo Duo and Yun Muqing.
In the evening, he had a meeting with Mr. Zhong. After a brief contemplation, he presented a selection of precious medicinal herbs, carefully sourced from Xi Ye, including stag antler and yak horn. "Mr. Zhong, these medicinal herbs were a gift from friends in Xi Ye. They possess body-nourishing, energy-regulating, and life-extending properties. I would like you to accept them," Chu Feng offered.
With a knowing smile, Mr. Zhong replied, "Master Feng, are these precious medicines intended for me, or are you using me as an intermediary to deliver them to Lord Chu?" As an elderly man, he had long seen through the pretense of indifference between father and son.
