Of course, Cheng Pingxi had considered going to some places with mountains and rivers during the National Day holiday, but he really didn't expect his sister to bring him to such a wild place.
Uncle Min considered himself to have been through thick and thin, but he had never been to a small village in the mountains like this before. Not only was the road difficult to travel, but even the GPS couldn't guide him there. To be honest, he was quite nervous when he was in the driver's seat.
Fortunately, the hand-drawn map provided by Yao Ruxing put my mind at ease a little.
Cheng Pingxi, sitting in the passenger seat, wished he could snap his seatbelt. He kept glancing at the two people in the back seat, saying, "Yan Chiyu, I want to switch seats with you."
"Why?"
"I want to talk to my sister."
"You can chat even if you're in the passenger seat."
"It's different, the passenger seat is a bit far away, it's inconvenient." Don't think I didn't see you holding my sister's hand the whole time! You pervert!
Hearing two handsome young men talking childishly to each other, Wu Yue lightly snapped her fingers, and then... Cheng Pingxi found himself sitting in the back seat as he had wished.
But, little sister, why did you run ahead?!
Wu Yue gestured to Uncle Min to raise the partition, and Uncle Min did so, instantly dividing the carriage into two parts, blocking even the sound from the back.
"Uncle Min, let me take a look at the map."
"Yes, Miss Wuyue, please feel free to do as you please."
Yao Ruxing gave her this hand-drawn map that morning, but Wu Yue didn't look at it carefully, only glancing at it quickly. Just now, she sat in the back seat, staring at the map that was there for a long time, and felt that there were some things that were not right.
Wu Yue compared the map to several key locations, then traced horizontal lines in the air with her index finger. Wherever her fingertip touched, it created tiny, golden, star-like streaks of light, and soon a complete pattern formed in the air. Calling it a pattern might not be accurate; it was more like the array formations the Second Young Master usually drew.
Uncle Min glanced at it a few times and quickly looked away. In a daze, he felt a troublesome gaze about to burst out from the formation and drag him into the abyss.
Noticing Uncle Min's reaction, Wu Yue pointed to the thing floating in front of them and asked, "Uncle Min, have you seen this before?"
“I think I’ve seen the Second Young Master draw this before, but it’s a bit different. Is it a formation?” Uncle Min replied. He glanced at the map that Wu Yue had put back, and a look of surprise quickly appeared on his face: “Was this formation extracted from the map?”
“That’s right. I suspect this formation is closely related to the fact that the villagers of Lingyan Village cannot leave the village. There are tens of millions of known formations in the world, and countless more unknown ones. I can’t determine what kind of formation this is for the time being.”
"Should we ask the Second Young Master?"
"good."
Uncle Min pressed the button on the partition.
Wu Yue turned around and froze for a moment.
Seeing the two people twisted together like a pretzel, she gave an awkward but polite smile: "There's an elderly person and a young person on the bus, please be mindful of yourselves. I didn't expect you to get along so well in just a few minutes. Hmm?"
Listening to Wu Yue's explanation, Uncle Min also turned his head curiously to look, and almost burst out laughing. Why were they wrestling like two children, their faces all red? Were they slapping each other?
"Ahem." Uncle Min cleared his throat, breaking the awkward silence: "Young masters, we are about five minutes away from our destination. You can start preparing now."
"Uncle Min, this road is so bumpy! My butt is sore from all the jolting," Cheng Pingxi said, rubbing his head in a distressed manner.
Yan Chiyu pursed his lips and glanced at him, his tone icy: "Why are you acting all coquettish with my butler?"
Cheng Pingxi glared fiercely at Yan Chiyu, "Mind your own business?"
[Witch God, I need to climb over the wall first]
[My husband and his brother are such a sweet couple!]
[Raise the banner of unpopular pairings for three seconds~]
Wu Yue sighed softly, "OK, let's deal with the important matters first."
"Little sister, once things are settled in Lingyan Village, you absolutely have to treat me to a good time. Hot springs, a fancy meal, Disneyland, and..."
Yan Chiyu made a sealing gesture towards Cheng Pingxi.
Before Wu Yue could finish speaking, she heard Uncle Min's deep and calm voice beside her, "We've arrived at Lingyan Village."
Everyone craned their necks to look.
Ahead, a stone tablet stood leaning against the twilight, the bright sunset glow fading to purple. Specks of light and shadow fell on the tablet, and the passage of time, amidst the rolling clouds, had eroded its original appearance. The tablet was covered in dust and its edges were worn, yet the words on it could still be faintly discerned.
—Lingyan Village.
