The next day, Chen Ruxue began to pack her luggage for the trip to Yun Province. Apart from some spare clothes and food for the journey, there was nothing else.
It was also at this time that Ye's mother learned that her son and daughter-in-law were going out again.
But she didn't say much. They were young and energetic, so just let them be!
Besides, these two people are successful and will not suffer any loss, and she only needs to take good care of the children!
After being busy for most of the day, Chen Ruxue finally prepared everything. Just as she was about to take a break, there was a knock on the door.
Ye Haonan opened the door and saw a middle-aged man he didn't recognize. He asked, "Who are you looking for?"
"My name is Zeng Musheng. I'm Brother Yang's junior fellow apprentice. He introduced me here."
"It's Master Zeng, please come in."
"Let's not go in. Let's go directly to see the house. Once things are settled, I can start making preparations. After all, renovating a house requires a lot of things."
"Okay, then wait a moment. Go get my wife and we'll go look at the house together."
Ye Haonan and Chen Ruxue came out quickly. After a brief greeting to Zeng Musheng, they went straight to several courtyards.
She first looked at the largest and most dilapidated set, expressed her own ideas and requirements, and then listened to Zeng Musheng's ideas. Only then did Chen Ruxue feel relieved.
It doesn't sound like he's just showing off, he must have real skills.
"Master Zeng, I'll give you the key to this house. You can do whatever you want with it. As for the money, you can decide how much deposit is appropriate."
"Just pay one thousand for now. I'll talk to you if I need you later." Zeng Musheng looked like a man who was only focused on his work. He didn't know how to please his master, nor did he know how to speak in a roundabout way. He just acted in a businesslike manner.
However, Chen Ruxue was not unhappy. Instead, she felt that such a person was good at doing things, was down-to-earth, and had little work to do, which would save her a lot of worry.
Now that the thing she had been worrying about was solved, Chen Ruxue could finally go out with peace of mind.
The next morning, I boarded the train to Yunnan Province.
Before leaving, he did not forget to prepare a lot of food and other provisions, and left some money for Ye's father and mother for emergency use, and only then did he leave with peace of mind!
It takes three bus changes to get from Beijing to Yunnan Province, but this only takes you to the city. You need to change buses again from the city to the county, and then change buses again in the county to go to the mountains.
It was spinning around and around, making Chen Ruxue dizzy.
Fortunately, she didn't encounter any weird people or things along the way, otherwise, Chen Ruxue would definitely explode on the spot.
Finally, after seven days and seven nights, they arrived at their final destination, Hulu Mountain, on the morning of the eighth day.
Chen Ruxue had seen the introduction to Hulu Mountain in the internal information given to her by Feng Mingzhu. After comparing it with the treasure map in her hand, she found that they were somewhat similar, so she decided to come and see for herself.
It was also at this time that Chen Ruxue finally realized that treasure hunting was really a difficult task. Fortunately, she did not agree to Mr. Yang's request before, otherwise she would be vomiting to death now!
Hulu Mountain lives up to its name and indeed looks like an upside-down gourd.
In order to travel around Hulu Mountain faster, Chen Ruxue discussed with Ye Haonan and decided to find local villagers at the foot of the mountain to lead the way.
So, the two of them got off the car and went straight into the village at the foot of the mountain.
Although most of the people in the village they came to were ethnic minorities, they had difficulty communicating in language.
After asking several locals, Chen Ruxue finally found out the address of the village chief by gestures and guessing.
According to Chen Ruxue's many years of travel experience, village cadres should at least be able to communicate with her.
Soon, the two men arrived in front of a bamboo building. Before they could call for help, they saw a man who looked like a cadre walking out from inside.
Chen Ruxue quickly greeted him with a smile, "Hello, uncle. Is this the village chief's house?"
"Yes, where are you from? What do you want from me? My name is Abu, and I'm the village chief of Hulu Village."
"Hello, uncle. My husband and I are from Jing City. We heard that there are many rare medicinal herbs on Hulu Mountain, so we want to get some."
Chen Ruxue was not just talking nonsense. She had done her homework before coming here to avoid being questioned.
When Village Chief Abu heard what Chen Ruxue said, he did not doubt her. In recent years, many people had come to their village to collect medicinal herbs.
The arrival of these people brought a lot of income to their village. For example, when they came to the village, they had to eat and stay overnight, right?
Therefore, Chen Ruxue and Ye Haonan were also mistaken for those people by the village chief.
“You can go into the mountains, but you need to pay some money to the village.
If you need to stay overnight and eat in the village, you will have to pay extra money. Of course, if you need someone to guide you, you will have to pay more.
Do you understand this?"
"I understand, I understand. However, Village Chief, we want to find someone like you who can communicate with us normally to lead the way. What do you think..."
Abu waved his hand and said, "This is easy, just follow me."
Seeing Village Chief Abu walking quickly forward, Chen Ruxue and Ye Haonan hurried to follow.
Soon, under the leadership of Village Chief Abu, Chen Ruxue and Ye Haonan arrived at a bamboo house close to the foot of the mountain.
"Ameng, are you home?"
"Hey! I'm here!"
As soon as the words fell, a teenage girl quickly opened the door and came into the yard.
Seeing that it was the village chief with two strangers, he immediately stopped.
"Ameng, don't be afraid. They all want to go into the mountains to dig for medicinal herbs."
"Yes, we are indeed here to dig medicinal herbs. We would like you to lead us for the next few days."
"I... the village chief, my father..." A Meng was a little hesitant.
"Don't worry, Meng. The village chief is here. Your father won't dare to hit you."
"Okay, then I'm willing to lead the way for you!" This time, the little girl A Meng readily agreed to Chen Ruxue's request.
"Okay, A Meng has agreed. You can come directly to her house tomorrow morning. I will take you to her residence now."
Chen Ruxue and Ye Haonan followed the village chief Abu, turning left and right, and finally arrived at a courtyard.
"Originally, this was where the educated youth lived. Later, some got married, went to school, and some died, and the yard became empty. For the past year or so, it's been used specifically for people like you to live in. As for food, everyone will deliver every meal, so you don't have to worry."
After hearing what Village Chief Abu said, Chen Ruxue was a little confused. She certainly understood what those who were married and went to school meant, but what did those who were dead mean?
Thinking this way, she also asked, "Village Chief, what does it mean to die?"
