After returning from my cultivation journey, I built a farm through fortune telling.

Chapter 166

Looking at the people rushing around him, Old Master Xu couldn't help but feel a pang of emotion—these young people are really working hard, not even letting the night pass by in order to make a living.

But it's different from what they were like back then. The nights here are brightly lit, but there's one thing: the moon here isn't as round or as bright as it was back home.

He continued walking forward, his feet feeling light as if he were walking on cotton. He stopped by the river, squinted slightly, leaned on the railing, and admired the night view across the river.

"Old sir..."

Suddenly, a clear voice rang in his ears. Before Grandpa Xu could react, he felt someone gently supporting his arm.

He turned his head and saw a young girl wearing a simple white dress. Her hair was tied in a ponytail, which looked neat and tidy. Her eyes showed worry. She looked a bit like Bai Lu.

"Is something...is something on your mind?" she asked cautiously.

Grandpa Xu chuckled: "Thank you, young lady. This old man isn't upset at all; I'm just enjoying the night view here."

"Oh, I see!" The girl seemed relieved. "The night view is beautiful, it's really nice to see the night view! You can take your time looking around, I'll be going now!"

The young girl waved her phone, and he saw the two cups she was holding. Based on his knowledge, they must contain coffee!
It's already 9 PM, and you're still working overtime?!

Grandpa Xu watched the girl leave, shook his head, and continued walking forward, his pace gradually slowing down.

He saw a small square ahead, with some fitness equipment and some people exercising there.

He paused slightly. To be honest, he hadn't understood for a long time why some people were still awake so late. He walked over. "Sir, you're exercising too? Wow, you're still going strong!"

A middle-aged man, dressed in sportswear, finished speaking and then grabbed the horizontal bar and started "spinning around"—yes, the kind of spinning where his feet were sometimes in the air and sometimes on the ground!

He swung around like a ball, and Grandpa Xu was afraid that he would lose his grip and be thrown into the air. Hearing this, he quickly waved his hands and said, "No, no, I just came to take a look."

He couldn't possibly complete this kind of training, even if he were a ghost!
“Taking a walk is good too!” The middle-aged man replied to Grandpa Xu as he strolled around.

"I'm afraid my old bones aren't up to it anymore." Old Master Xu smiled and thought to himself, "These young people are really full of energy!"
Oh no, this middle-aged man isn't exactly young anymore. In their area, someone in their thirties or forties might already have children, while he, on the other hand, doesn't have many years left to live.

People like Grandpa Xu who live past fifty are very rare.

"Take a stroll and have a look around, or we'll be closing up shop!"

There was a small stall nearby, and the owner was about to pack up. Grandpa Xu was attracted by the various trinkets displayed on it.

"Sir, what would you like to buy?" The stall owner greeted Mr. Xu with a warm smile as soon as he saw him looking over.

"Just browsing." Old Master Xu nodded and began to browse the stalls. He saw a small wooden carving with a lifelike little bird on it, and a feeling of fondness welled up in his heart. Childlike innocence—it was truly a distant and unfamiliar word.
