"These mountains are truly massive."
Standing on high ground with her grandpa and uncle, Gu Nuan Nuan gazed at the rolling mountain range before her. An endless sea of green filled her vision. She took a deep breath, feeling a sense of comfort wash over her from the inside out.
"You can say that again. Don't let their appearance fool you; they may not have the scenic views of more famous mountains, but the local environment shapes its people, and this place is a treasure trove for us. Back when the Alliance was invaded by foreign enemies, many people from the village relied on these mountains to escape the chaos of war. Because they're so vast, the Zhang family's Clan Leader at the time had the foresight to lead most of our clan deep into the mountains to take refuge. Life was a bit harder, of course, but at least we didn't suffer great losses. Most importantly, the elderly, the women, and the children managed to survive."
