932 Astonishing (1)

Tie Yi and the others did not expect Shen Miao to come up with such a plan at this juncture. Although Phoenix Head Village was not far from Long Ye, it would still take two days for them to get there and back. Apart from Ben Yue, no one else had seen that legendary expert. They did not know if it was true or not. Shen Miao was too irrational and naive to go find someone as elusive as that.

However, Shen Miao seemed to have made up her mind. She instructed Uncle Tang something before getting ready to go out.

After disguising herself, she brought Ba Jiao, Hui Xiang, Mo Qing, Cong Yang, and Luo Tan along.

Because she was wearing a bamboo hat and ordinary clothes, no one recognized her. Although Tie Yi was a little worried, when Shen Miao was strict, even Shen Qiu did not dare to stop her, let alone these servants.

Looking at Shen Miao’s departing figure, Uncle Tang asked, “Can… Madam really find that expert?”

Tie Yi shook his head. “It’s better to try than not anyway. At least it shows she’s really concerned about Master.” He turned around and instructed the others, “Keep it a secret. If word gets out, you’ll have to bear the consequences!”

In the carriage, Luo Tan looked at Shen Miao and said, “Little Cousin, why don’t you sleep for a while? You haven’t rested well for the past few days.”

At this moment, the carriage was wobbling along the road. Although she was not in the mood to rest, what Luo Tan said made sense. If she did not rest well, she might mess it up. She closed her eyes in a daze and fell asleep.

She slept especially soundly. Shen Miao set off at noon. After being shaken awake, she opened her eyes in a daze and saw Luo Tan looking at her and saying, “Cousin, wake up. We’re here.”

Shen Miao got out of the carriage with Luo Tan. The carriage stopped in a remote forest. The branches grew wildly, almost covering the sky. In June, even in the evening, there was still sunlight, but here, it was gloomy and dark.

Mo Qing and Cong Yang frowned. Cong Yang said, “What kind of place is this? There’s no one here.”

“I heard that this used to be an embroidery village. The embroiderers here were best at embroidering phoenix. However, later on, the business gradually declined, and this village was abandoned,” Ba Jiao immediately explained.

Luo Tan looked up and down and opened the handkerchief embroidered with a map in her hand. She said, “According to the map, there should be a small path here, but there is nothing.”

Everyone leaned over to take a look at the map and saw that there was indeed a path leading to a field where the house was located.

However, there was not even a trace of a path here, let alone the field and house.

“Why isn’t there anyone around? It’s as if no one has been here for a long time.” Luo Tan said, “Could it be that the overgrown weeds have covered the path, so we can’t see it?”

Mo Qing and Cong Yang looked around and shook their heads. “I don’t think so.”

Ba Jiao and Hui Xiang also looked around. Hui Xiang said, “This forest is too big. After the sun sets, it’s easy to get lost in the forest. There might be wild beasts lurking around. We’re not familiar with the forest. Madam, do you think we should…”
