Protagonist:

Yan Qianqian

The medicine field was planted with all kinds of herbs, swaying gently in the breeze and releasing waves of fresh fragrance. Qianqian curiously glanced at the medicine field, then turned to ask Yan Jie, "How are the herbs in this medicine field?"

Yan Jie observed carefully, a look of pleasant surprise appearing on his face, and said, "They're all over a hundred years old; one could say they're absolutely priceless!" His voice revealed excitement and agitation.

Qianqian's heart was full of doubt, and she couldn't help muttering to herself, "But on this journey, we haven't encountered any danger at all, so how could such a large medicine field appear so easily?"

Just then, Yan Jie couldn't wait to step forward and carefully began digging up the herbs. His movements were extremely cautious, fearing that one careless moment would destroy these precious herbs.

Qianqian, meanwhile, focused all her attention on observing the surroundings, alert to any possible danger. Her nerves were taut, and she dared not relax in the slightest.

Suddenly, Qianqian thought of a question and wanted to ask the Anqi if they had discovered anything strange nearby. So she softly called out to the Anqi, but received no response at all.

Qianqian felt increasingly strange—how could the Anqi suddenly disappear? She couldn't help but feel a little worried.

At the same time, Yan Jie also noticed something was off.

A herb he had just dug up was originally placed in his small back basket, but when he finished digging up the second herb and prepared to put it into the basket, he was surprised to find the basket completely empty!

Yan Jie's heart suddenly tightened; he hurriedly checked the basket again carefully, and after confirming there really were no herbs inside, his face became extremely terrified. He looked terrifiedly at Qianqian, as if wanting to get some explanation from her.

Qianqian's face also turned grim. She said softly to Yan Jie, "Younger brother, don't dig anymore; this medicine field is probably strange. I suspect it's an illusion array."

Qianqian tightly pulled Yan Jie, afraid he would get lost. She had Yan Jie closely follow behind her so she could better protect him. The two walked forward carefully step by step, every step filled with the unknown and fear.

Suddenly, Qianqian seemed to bump into an invisible wall, hitting her head so it hurt a little.

She rubbed her forehead and reached out to touch it. Although she couldn't see anything, she could clearly feel something blocking the way ahead.

Seeing this, Yan Jie also curiously reached out to touch it. To everyone's surprise, his hand actually went in without any obstruction, his entire hand disappearing into that barrier.

Yan Jie was frightened and quickly pulled his hand back. After checking, he found his hand was completely unharmed.

Seeing this, Qianqian's heart was full of doubt. She reached out to touch again, but her hand was blocked, and no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't reach in.

This time, Yan Jie decided to try once more. He carefully extended one arm inside, then turned to look at Qianqian, as if confirming whether she was safe.

Next, he without hesitation reached out and grabbed Qianqian's hand, and the two of them passed through that mysterious barrier together.

After they passed through the barrier, a peaceful small village appeared before their eyes. At the village entrance stood two people, one fat and one thin, looking like guards.

The two looked at the two young boys who had suddenly intruded before them, couldn't help but widen their eyes, and asked with faces full of astonishment, "Who are you? How did you get in?"

Seeing this, Qianqian quickly protected Yan Jie behind her, looked at the two people before her with a vigilant expression, and explained, "Sirs, we two were just passing by here, accidentally lost our way, and stumbled in here by mistake. My surname is Wang and my given name is Qianwan; this is my younger brother Wang Baiwan."

The fat guard heard this, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a smile, and said, "That name is quite interesting; do your parents hope you two will become rich and powerful in the future?"

Qianqian quickly nodded and replied with a laugh, "Haha, sir, you're really smart!" Then she curiously asked, "I still don't know sir's name?"

The fat guard rubbed his belly and answered with a silly laugh, "I'm called A Long; this little skinny one is my cousin, called A Qiu."

Qianqian couldn't help but silently complain in her heart: "When your cousin was born, did his mother catch a cold and keep sneezing?"

However, she dared not say this out loud, but just kept a smile on her face and praised, "Your names really are quite good! I wonder if Long Ge can tell me, little brother, where this place is?"

A Long scratched his head, thought for a moment, and then said, "This place is..."

Before he finished speaking, A Qiu, like lightning, quickly reached out and covered the other's mouth. His movement was so fast that the other completely failed to react.

A Qiu's voice was low and serious as he said, "Since you two little brothers came in by mistake, then just return the way you came. The people in our village don't like outsiders, so we won't invite you two in."

Hearing A Qiu's words, Qianqian immediately understood. She realized these two people bore her no ill will.

Moreover, for a village to exist in such a place, presumably not just anyone could easily intrude. Perhaps there were some people with extremely high martial arts hiding in the dark, guarding this village.

Thinking of this, Qianqian decided not to force her way in anymore. After all, her purpose in coming here was only to find some herbs; if she couldn't find them, returning the way they came was also acceptable.

So she smiled and said, "Then we two brothers won't disturb you; we'll leave now." After speaking, she took Yan Wang's hand and turned to prepare to leave.

However, at the moment they turned around, A Long suddenly blocked their path. Seeing this, Qianqian felt a little doubtful in her heart, but she did not panic.

She knew these two people bore her no ill will, so she did not act, but calmly asked, "What's wrong?"

A Long said apologetically to this little brother, "I'm really sorry; you two may need to come with us to see our village chief."

He was worried Qianqian would resist, so he hurriedly added, "Don't overthink it; we absolutely will not harm you."

And A Qiu obviously still hadn't understood; all three looked at A Long with puzzled faces.

Seeing this, A Long hurriedly explained: "It's like this; our village has a barrier set up here, and ordinary people simply cannot get in. But you two were able to enter smoothly, which shows you are definitely not ordinary people, so our village chief very much wants to meet you."
