Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Shen Yaowei held her chin with her fair palm. She was already fantasizing about Huo
Junhan’s reaction when he ate the food she had made herself.
“Then i’ll go up the mountain with my Third Brother. Big Brother, stay and help Father and Ninth Imperial Uncle,” Shen Yaowei said with a smile.
Since she could tell that there was something wrong with the tidying up of Oriole Village…
She believed that her Ninth Imperial Uncle would definitely be able to tell.
Therefore, this was also the reason why her father rushed over when her Ninth Imperial Uncle stayed here.
Shen Yifeng could only agree helplessly, looking at Shen Yaowei’s bright smile. “Although it’s daytime, there are wild beasts in the mountains. Yuyan, you should bring a few guards with you. You have to come back early.”
“Don’t worry, Brother. I’ll protect Yaoyao,” Shen Yuyan said as he looked at Shen Yaowei deeply.
The village chief’s house was the closest to Oriole Mountain. There was a small path from the village chief’s house to Oriole Mountain.
Before Shen Yuyan left the village chief’s house with Shen Yaowei, he specially asked Village Chief Huang about the path.
“Are you going to Oriole Mountain?” The village chief looked conflicted. “It hasn’t been peaceful recently. Only hunters in the village dare to go up the mountain. Are you sure you want to go?”
“It’s fine. I’m going up the mountain to see if there’s anything unusual,” Shen Yuyan said with a faint smile.
Shen Yaowei stood beside Shen Yuyan and stared at Village Chief Huang with her big, clear eyes.
Village Chief Huang was about 50 to 60 years old. His skin was a little sallow, and he looked like an honest person. However, from the looks of his features, he was destined to be a lonely person.
A lonely life was like jinxing one’s wife and children. He was destined to only grow old alone.
Village Chief Huang sensed Shen Yaowei’s gaze on him, and his eyebrows twitched. He raised his hand and touched his face. “Miss Shen, why are you staring at me? Is there something on my face?”
Shen Yaowei sensitively caught a trace of nervousness in Village Chief Huang’s eyes.
Before Shen Yaowei could say anything to brush Village Chief Huang off, Shen Yuyan smiled and said, “Village Chief Huang, my sister probably thinks you look more friendly. My sister and I have already decided to go up the mountain. You should tell us the route quickly.”
“There are fierce beasts on the mountain. You need to be careful,” said Village Chief Huang, then took out a map from his pocket and handed it to Shen Yuyan. “Not many people in the village know how to walk on this small road. The route is a little complicated, and I usually just look at the map. Keep it well and return it to me when you come back.”
Shen Yuyan took the map and thanked Village Chief Huang. Then, he and Shen Yaowei turned around and walked towards the gate of the fenced courtyard.
After taking the two of them, they had just taken two steps when they heard Village Chief Huang’s slightly serious voice slowly sound behind them.
“By the way, I forgot to tell you. If you take a small path up the mountain, you will encounter a temple on the way. The temple is dedicated to the mountain god. You must remember to enter the temple and offer incense to the mountain god. If you don’t offer incense, you’ll definitely encounter something bad.”
Shen Yaowei turned around and happened to see Village Chief Huang’s turbid eyes staring at her and Shen Yuyan.
There was actually a hint of threat in his gaze.
Shen Yaowei blinked and asked softly, “What’s wrong?”
Village Chief Huang slowly raised the corners of his lips and revealed a very benevolent smile. “Miss Shen, the Mountain God likes young girls like you very much. If you can enter the temple to offer incense, the Mountain God will definitely bless you to get what you want, and everything will go your way.”
Looking at the smile on Village Chief Huang’s face, Shen Yaowei inexplicably felt that it was fake.
It was as if he had to smile in such an environment, so he used all the facial features on his face to reveal the most perfect smile. It wasn’t from the bottom of his heart, so there was no smile in his turbid eyes..
