After breakfast, Aunt Zhang came in a short while later and took away the dishes. The look in her eyes when she looked at Ji Xingzhi and Xiao Moyan was as if she was looking at some rare and endangered animals, which made Ji Xingzhi confused.
“Emperor…” Just as the word “Emperor” was spoken, Ji Xingzhi changed the subject and said, “Tianshu.”
Xiao Moyan glanced at Ji Xingzhi: "Hmm?"
Ji Xingzhi touched his chin and said, "Didn't you notice that Aunt Zhang is not very good today? Did she discover something?"
People from the Five States were looking for them everywhere. They were only wearing masks, which seemed a little too obvious and casual. Fortunately, they were in a remote village. If they were in a town, they would have been discovered long ago.
Hearing this, Xiao Moyan nodded slightly: "I noticed."
After a pause, Xiao Moyan continued, "I'm going out for a while and will be back soon."
Ji Xingzhi was slightly stunned and asked doubtfully, "Where are we going? Can't you take me with you?"
Xiao Moyan hesitated for a moment, looked at Ji Xingzhi, and then decisively refused: "No, wait until I come back."
Ji Xingzhi's face fell, and he lowered his head slightly and muttered reluctantly: "Okay..."
After getting Ji Xingzhi's answer, Xiao Moyan walked out of the house without looking back and soon disappeared from Ji Xingzhi's sight.
Xiao Moyan left for about half a minute. Ji Xingzhi was so bored staying in the room alone that she walked out and walked around.
The small mountain village where they lived was called Ya Village. It was not far from the imperial capital of Shuizhou, but not close either. At first, when Ji Xingzhi knew the name of this village, he was puzzled. There was no water or big mountains or rivers around Ya Village, but why was it called Ya Village?
According to Aunt Zhang, Ya Village was indeed located on a cliff a long time ago. The people in Ya Village hardly interacted with the outside world and lived freely. But since some time, the cliff suddenly became shorter. As time passed, the cliff has now become flat ground.
Ji Xingzhi couldn't help but sigh, it's true that the world has changed so much.
Ji Xingzhi walked out of Aunt Zhang's yard. There was a big tree in front of him. It was understood that the big tree was the largest tree in Ya Village. It had a long history and had witnessed the birth and death of many people in Ya Village.
Ji Xingzhi had seen that tree in a medical book. The tree was called the iron tree, and its flowers were a very rare medicinal material that could prolong life, nourish yin and strengthen yang, and even had the effect of clearing away heat and detoxifying. It took a thousand years for the iron tree to grow, and then it would bloom every hundred years. People in the past didn't know that the iron tree could bloom, so they named it the iron tree.
Later, the iron tree blossomed. The flowers were light yellow in color and had a strong fragrance that reached the sky. Therefore, the word "flower" was added between "iron" and "tree".
There are several stone tables under the towering iron trees, and next to each table are several bamboo chairs, crisscrossed and woven very delicately.
There was a teapot and several water cups on the stone table. Some of the water cups were even bigger than the teapot. Under the green shade of the iron tree, several peasant women sat together, talking and laughing, looking very comfortable.
Ji Xingzhi took a closer look and found that Aunt Zhang was also among them.
Ji Xingzhi thought about it and decided to walk over. The closer he got, the clearer the words from the peasant women became.
A peasant woman in green said, "Lianzhi, do you know who those two people living in your house are? They looked mysterious from a distance, and they looked like nobles from Shuizhou City. Could they be here to visit your Tiantian?"
