Hui Mo's driving skill was very good. After more than two hours, they arrived at the eastern suburbs. At this time, it was almost midnight. The surrounding area of Teng Tou Village was desolate. There was not even a single light. Everywhere was covered by lush weeds. Many houses had long decayed and collapsed. It really didn't look like a place where people lived. Even ghosts didn't want to stay here.
"Is it really here?" Hui Mo stood at the entrance of the village and looked here suspiciously, "There are no footprints or wheel prints on this road. It doesn't look like someone has passed by."
Ning Shu felt it was a hindrance. She tied up the oversized sleeves of her official uniform and jumped out of the carriage, "If I remember correctly, this Teng Tou Village has been deserted for seven or eight years. It stands to reason that this path should have been covered by weeds. But you see, there is no problem with this path. As for the fact that there are no footprints or wheel prints, it shows that these people were extremely vigilant. Before entering the village, they used a thick and soft cotton cloth to wrap the wheels and soles of their feet. Naturally, there won't be too deep marks left. Let's go inside. The fragrance of the night flower is very special. It is our best guide. "
When she was about to enter the village, she suddenly remembered that Xiahou Qing had bad eyes. She hurriedly turned back and said, "Your Highness, this way please. This slave … bah, this little girl will help you."
Xiahou Qing refused, "No need."
Ning Shu looked over in puzzlement. She saw him raise his hand and strike out a gust of wind from his palm. A small pebble shot out with the gust of wind, bouncing left and right when it hit an obstacle. As for Xiahou Qing, based on the feedback of the sound he heard, he walked forward naturally without any obstruction.
"…" Ning Shu was flabbergasted. She recalled how she had groveled to support and serve him, and felt like an idiot.
Hui Mo smiled and said, "I told you earlier that my master is omnipotent."
Ning Shu was a little numb, "Then why did he —" She could understand that he was hiding his strength in front of others. But what about behind the scenes?
Xiahou Qing, who was in front of them, said lightly, "Because he was tired."
Ning Shu looked up at the moon in the sky and was speechless.
After about 15 minutes, Xiahou Qing and Ning Shu stopped almost at the same time and said.
"There is the fragrance of flowers."
"There are human voices."
Hui Mo was pleasantly surprised, "Then it should be not far ahead!"
The three of them followed the scent of flowers and the sounds of people. After walking for a short distance, they saw a lit house. There were two people digging for something in the courtyard. In the courtyard was an extremely grand flowerbed. The flowerbed was filled with all kinds of strange flowers and trees. Some were pure and white, some were peach red and flirtatious, some had just sprouted, and some were close to blooming. The gentle and beautiful flowers were mixed together, and the fragrance assailed the nostrils. At first glance, it was as if one had seen a heavenly garden.
"When the last batch of fertilizer is ready, we can rest for a few days. His Highness said that this batch of flowers will be sent to the palace on the day of His Majesty's birthday. We must not neglect it. "One of the people who was working said.
"This batch of fertilizers is the freshest. I thought that we would have to wait for a few more days, but I didn't expect His Highness to send us a letter via messenger pigeon asking us to finish everything today. Hehe, this saves us a lot of trouble." The other person worked for a long time and finally finished. He straightened up and wiped his sweat, "Why hasn't the fertilizer arrived yet? Mammy Liu is too slow. I'll go and urge her. "
"I'll go and have a look too."
The two people put down the tools and turned to walk into the house.
After the two people left, Hui Mo jumped down from the dense shadow of the trees. He stood in the flowerbed and picked a flower. He was confused. What fertilizer? He didn't understand at all. But this flower was very beautiful. It was not worse than the flowers in Yunyan Province.
Ning Shu next to him looked at the flower in his hand. She moved her lips and wanted to say something. But in the end, she stopped. She motioned Hui Mo to go closer to the house and continue to listen.
Inside the house, a mammy in her forties or fifties was holding a few bowls of freshly made soup. She smiled and walked to the people inside. She said softly, "Girls, the soup is ready. Come and drink it."
