8 Doing good

"Hahahaha" crackling laughter's caused due to happiness could be heard‚ coming from a middle-aged woman sitting on a chair‚ near a dining table‚ inside a wooden house. The house was huge having multiple courtyards and looked ancient‚ build in a square shape with a thatch roof ‚ supported by wooden poles covered in beautiful petals and flower designing.

The table was covered with small to big size plates and bowls‚ upon which laid delicious food made of multiple types of beast meat and vegetables.

"Little Feng mei‚ here have some more of these dumplings," said the middle-aged women while looking at a handsome young man with a muscled yet slim build and enchanting features‚ she moved her chopstick to pick a piece of dumpling and placed it in a small plate In front of the young man.

"Thanks‚ aunty Liu," said the young man as he extended his right hand that held the chopstick forward‚ picked up the steamed dumpling took a bite of it, and started chewing.

In the center of the table‚ a big plate was placed upon which laid a big slab of roasted beast meat surrounded by multiple dishes like egg fried rice‚ chowmein‚ manchurian‚ stir-fried veggies‚ meat dumpling‚ mushroom soup and other small dishes.

Multiple people's used their chopstick to pick up the food and place it in their mouth as they munched on it fastly and repeated the action while talking and chatting‚

"Little Feng Mei and little ya is really a blessing send from heavens‚ without them how hard it would be to survive this calamity for us!" said Aunty Liu. Aunty Liu was more than 30 years old but still retained a lot of her youth and looked like a woman in her twenties.

"Little ya and little Feng Mei surely are a blessing send from heaven to help in our misery‚ without them a lot of families wouldn't have been able to survive the upcoming winter," said a middle-aged face man with some wrinkles around his eyes‚ he sat upon a luxurious seat at the head of the table‚ the man face looked relieved and free of worries. The middle-aged man looked to be around 40 to 50 years old.

"Uncle zhang‚ Helping a person is a good deed‚ and we love to perform them! right Feng brothers?" said Feng MEI and the three Feng guards nodded their head while saying " it is our duty"

"Since we are living in the village and the villager faced a problem we are bound to help them," said Feng ya in a righteous tone as Feng cai nodded his heads and said while looking at uncle zhang " our young miss is generous‚ it is a blessing for your village that she decided to reside here"

Six days ago!

Feng MEI and others stood in Infront of a huge village entrance gate" Let's go in" said Feng MEI. He started passing through the gate and headed inside the village‚ as Feng ya and her guards followed behind him. They wandered around the village full of people for some hours to look for some clues about the treasure.

Soon the sun started setting and the moon was fairly visible to the naked eyes.

Feng Mei and the others decided to find an inn and stay there‚ as they were around for an inn‚ a young boy around 8 to 10 years old came toward them and said while looking at them with his big and round eyes" guests do you need a place to rest‚ we have an excellent inn with cheap prices room!"

" Yes" replied Feng MEI to the boy‚ the boy told them to follow him as he started to lead them toward the inn.

"How did the boy know we are guest?" muttered Feng two‚ but the voice still reached the boy ears‚ as he looked at Feng two with his big round eyes‚ as if looking at a retard and replied, "Because no one in this village can afford to wear luxurious robes and purchase silver armors except the village head".As the boy finished his sentence he stopped in his track and said " we are here". In front of the boy was a simple and clean old wooden house with multiple courtyards.

The boy entered the entrance of the inn‚ the ground of the inn entrance was covered in artistical painting with cherry flowers on the garden at the side‚ and said happily while looking at a lady around 30 years old "Mom‚ I brought some guest with me" "little treasure‚ don't tire yourself out" said the lady as she picked the boy up into her hand and embraced him.

"Welcome guests‚ there is a courtyard free in the West wings‚ do you want to rent a room or the entire courtyard," said the women while looking at Feng mei and others.

"Mam‚ we want to rent the entire courtyard" said Feng ya to the lady. "You can call me older sister Yu Yan," said the lady with a beautiful smile while looking at Feng ya. "Ok" cheerily replied Feng ya.

The lady lead them to the courtyard and said" You guys can live here for as long as you want and pay whatever you can afford" Feng Mei and others were stunned by her words for a while but Feng ya replied to her "Thank you older sister Yu Yan".

Night had fallen by the time they entered into the courtyard. Feng ya and others moved inside the courtyard‚ each of them took a room for themselves and decided to rest.

They decided to search for clues regarding the treasure tomorrow. Feng Mei and others went off to sleep.

The stars above the skies shifted their position and soon the sun could be seen high up in the skies‚ with the chirping of bird and the caws of chickens‚ Feng ya and others woke up.

All of them gathered together and went out of the courtyard in search of clues‚ They passed by multiple villagers and their household looking here and there.

Time passed by without may clues so they decided to split up and search for clues individually and return to the courtyard after some hours Feng cai remained with Feng ya as he was adamant on staying by her side. Soon there were 4 parties wandering inside the North‚ West‚ East and South parts of the village.

Feng mei accompanied by his system went north‚ Feng ya and Feng cai in the west with Feng two and Feng three wandering in the Eastern path of the village as Feng one being the older one among the other two‚ decided to go solo in the southern area of the village.

Feng Mei walked around the northern area of the village and reached a lake surrounded by chrysanthemum flowers near bloom. Feng Mei didn't go further as only trees and a huge forest lied beyond. He decided to return back to the courtyard. He sat on the table inside a pavilion near the courtyard as he awaited the returns of others. After some minutes Feng ya returned with Feng cai. Feng cai hands were filled with different types of goods.

"Did you find any clues?" asked Feng Cai while looking at Feng Mei

"Nope‚ there were only some Villagers living in the northern part of the village‚ in front lied a lake and a forest" replied Feng Cai. "How about you guys," said Feng Mei while looking at Feng Cai. Feng Cai just moved up his hand covered in different types of goods while looking at Feng Cai. Feng ya went inside the pavilion and sat opposite to Feng Mei as they waited for the guards. Feng Cai placed the good inside Feng ya room‚ came to the pavilion and sat beside Feng ya.

Feng two and Feng three came back to the courtyard. Feng Cai asked them if they found anything they simply moved they're ahead In a refusal manner and sat inside the pavilion with Feng Mei as they started chatting while awaiting Feng one return. After a while Feng one returned‚ seeing Feng Mei‚ Feng ya‚ Feng cai and the other two guards sitting in the pavilion he went to them.

Feng Mei looked at Feng one and started to ask him about his findings‚ Feng one replied "There were no clues‚ hmmm‚ Except that the woodcutter of this village has his hand bitten by a beast and it will need him somedays to recover". Suddenly

\u003cDing!\u003e

"The path ahead is long‚ acquiring my treasures is destined by karma‚ Doing good brings luck and doing bad causes misfortune".

The system mechanical voice rang in Feng Mei heads‚ Feng Mei's eyes brightened up as he looked at Feng two and three and asked them if any families on the Eastern side were facing any problems. Feng two and Feng three started using their mind thinking about the villagers they went by and the houses they wandered about but none of them seemed to be in trouble.

" Oh! I remembered while roaming around in the market place I heard aunty Li gossiping about "little big" falling sick‚ he used to carry water from the well in a bucket and give them to multiple families in the village". said Feng ya

" Feng two and three you guys go and find about which family "little big" provided water with and help them out by carrying water from the well for them" said Feng Mei while looking at Feng two and Feng three.

" Feng one go and help out the woodcutter and cut the woods for the villager in his place" Feng Mei told Feng one.

.

" What about me" asked Feng ya

" you can just go around the village and gossip with the aunties" replied Feng Mei

" uhmm‚ why are we doing this" Feng cai asked Feng Mei.

" Do you remember what was written on the stone? asked Feng Mei to Feng cai.

"Nope‚ since we suddenly got teleported In front of the village" said Feng Cai.

Feng Mei repeated the words written on the stone "The path ahead is long‚ acquiring my treasures is destined by karma‚ Doing good brings luck and doing bad causes misfortune"

"This village is like a riddle‚ to solve it we need to do good until a clue appears In front of us. I only ask you guys to believe in me for a week or two if we find no clues by than you all can do as you wish". said Feng Mei to the surrounding 5 peoples in the pavilion.
