Chapter 237: Waiting for Two Guides at the Village Entrance
The old lady, the first lady and the second lady helped them check several times again. After thinking of everything they could think of, they checked and saw that their disguises were no different from yesterday before they took them out of the house.
Before leaving the house, Leng Rongyue whispered a few words into the eldest lady's ear.
The eldest lady smiled and nodded, indicating that she understood.
The carriage outside the manor has also been prepared.
The old lady led her two daughters-in-law and escorted Leng Rongyue and others directly to the gate.
After watching them get on the carriage, he gave them several instructions.
The man in blue is still driving the carriage.
The old lady, the first lady and the second lady watched the carriage leave the manor halfway up the mountain and drive off into the distance.
It was not until Leng Rongyue and her companions' carriage entered the official road and went far away out of sight that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law turned around and entered the manor gate.
The door closed again.
The Second Madam was curious about what Leng Rongyue had whispered to the First Madam just now?
So, he looked at the eldest lady and asked, "Sister-in-law, what did Yue'er whisper in your ear just now?"
Hearing the second lady's question, even the old lady turned her head to look at the eldest daughter-in-law beside her.
The eldest lady smiled slightly, "Yue'er said that she would be away for a few days, and she has left us some food and fairy fruit in her room to entertain us!"
The second lady smiled happily when she heard it, "That's great!
I was thinking last night that if Yue'er is gone for a few days, we won't have any fairy fruit to eat!
Yue'er is really thinking about us and is thoughtful!"
The old lady also smiled and said, “Of course it’s my Yue’er who thought of it so carefully!
She must have thought of leaving it for us before she left, so it would be fresher this way!"
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were walking and talking happily.
The air in the early morning is fresh, and the wind from the mountains and forests blows over the water. Take a deep breath, and it feels as if all your internal organs are cleansed!
The mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law walked back to the courtyard where Leng Rongyue lived, chatting and laughing all the way with only the nanny and maidservants close to them.
When I walked into the house and came to the inner room, I saw two large boxes placed side by side on the table in the inner room.
When I opened it, I saw a box with several kinds of fairy fruits placed layer by layer.
The other box contained several kinds of dried fruits and snacks.
The mother-in-law, daughter-in-law and the two girls looked at the things in the two boxes and all laughed!
"Very good!
These few days, we can enjoy ourselves comfortably in this manor and rest at ease!"
As the second lady spoke, she waved to her maids Caixia and Hongxia and asked them to carry a food box each. They then went back to the courtyard where the old lady lived.
Leng Rongyue and her companions rode in a horse-drawn carriage at full speed, entering through the north gate and exiting through the south gate, passing straight through the county town halfway up the mountain.
We left the city gate, got on the official road, and headed towards Dashi Village.
Sun Lizheng of Dashi Village has already made the decision with Shuanzi's father and Luo Yun.
As Sun Lizheng's wife, Mrs. Wu, had said, Shuanzi's father agreed without hesitation.
And Luo Yun really took a lot of effort from Sun Lizheng!
He first said that he had just come out of the mountains, and had not had time to dry the herbs he had collected, nor had he had time to prepare the herbs he had collected, so he had no time to go back into the mountains;
Later he said that he had just come out of the mountains and was a little tired and didn't want to move.
In short, there are various reasons why I don’t want to be this guide.
It was Sun Lizheng who repeatedly said that the people who were going into the mountains were a few teenage girls;
Also, the girl's family runs a big herbal medicine store, so she needs a large amount of medicine.
If people are satisfied with the quality of the herbs they see during this trip into the mountains, in the future the people in Dashi Village can go into the mountains together and work together to collect more and better herbs.
What’s more, you don’t even have to leave the village, people can buy it at a higher price than the drug stores and herbal medicine shops outside!
This way, you can save trouble and make money at the same time, isn't that a great thing?
In addition, Sun Lizheng also told Luo Yun that he would be paid for being a guide in the mountains.
After repeated persuasion, Luo Yun finally nodded.
When Leng Rongyue and his group arrived, Sun Lizheng and the elderly people they saw at the village entrance yesterday were all there. They were either squatting or sitting, their eyes looking towards the road.
There were two thin men beside Sun Lizheng.
Both men were in their fifties or older.
Each of them carried a large backpack.
Leng Rongyue and the others saw them and thought that these two should be the guides arranged for them by Sun Lizheng.
The man in blue controlled the speed of the carriage and slowly stopped it at the entrance of the village.
When Sun Lizheng and others saw the carriage coming, they all smiled with relief and stood up.
Sun Lizheng was tapping his pipe and walking towards the carriage.
The carriage stopped, Qingyi jumped off first, put the footstool in place, and then helped Leng Rongyue get off the carriage.
Sun Lizheng stepped forward and greeted, "Miss Rong is here!"
"Yeah, here we come!
Sorry to have kept you waiting!" Leng Rongyue smiled and nodded.
"No, no!" Sun Lizheng pointed at the two people behind him and said, "Miss Rong, these two are the two guides I arranged for you.
They are as familiar with this mountain as they are with their own ten fingers.
Be a guide for the girls and ensure safety!"
"Of course I believe in Sun Lizheng, thank you for your trouble!" Leng Rongyue said, turning to look at the two thin men standing behind Sun Lizheng.
Both of them had their heads wrapped with cloth towels, covering them above their eyebrows, with no hair sticking out from the towels. This is also the most common attire for people who often run in the mountains.
Looking at the appearance of these two men, one has an honest face and his short beard is a little gray;
The other one had a shrewd look in his eyes.
Although he was thin, he did not look sickly at all.
Leng Rongyue thought of the doctor named Lu who had a big black mole on the right forehead with a tuft of hair growing on it. This was his most obvious mark.
But looking at the two men in front of me, although their eyebrows and above were wrapped tightly with cloth, it was obvious that their foreheads were flat without any bulges.
Leng Rongyue felt a little disappointed.
However, the disappointment soon dissipated.
Leng Rongyue said to herself, well, it’s not likely that we can find the doctor named Lu as soon as we arrive.
Let’s come here today... just to go into the mountains to look for medicinal herbs!
