Ye Tiancheng and the Nuwa Stone confirmed each other, and Ye Tiancheng set the route for the next destination.
He didn't plan to rush directly to the destination. The customized route was quite winding and circuitous, which was also a way to confuse their pursuers. After they set off, they actually discovered that someone was secretly following and investigating their purpose.
Ye Tiancheng used some methods, cooperating with Fatty and the little fox, and it took about half a month to finally confirm that they had shaken off those people completely. Since then, there was no major threat for the time being.
Ye Tiancheng then seized the time and rushed to the next destination.
The next place they were going to was in the mountains again, a relatively remote area, but not completely isolated. There was a farmhouse and a resort there, which could be considered a tourist attraction. It seemed to have been developed in recent years, still quite new, and not particularly famous.
Ye Tiancheng and the others pondered, thinking that this was also good. When they arrived there, they could also settle down properly, so that the accommodation conditions would not be too harsh.
With a resort, the living standards would not drop too drastically.
It should be known that Hou Mingzhu and Ye Qingcheng had been following them all along. Although they were quite tolerant in order to follow Ye Tiancheng, if they could avoid letting them suffer, Ye Tiancheng still hoped to provide them with better conditions.
Since Hou Mingzhu was willing to make sacrifices for him, Ye Tiancheng naturally hoped that Hou Mingzhu could live a better life.
If anyone was the happiest about this matter, it had to be the bodyguards, servants, and Ye Qingcheng's tutors brought by Hou Mingzhu. Their presence was not strong on the surface, but in reality, they had been running around with them and had seen all sorts of situations.
They even changed a teacher in the middle, as Ye Qingcheng's Chinese teacher retired to get married.
As for making money, Hou Mingzhu's remuneration was sufficient, so no one had any major objections. However, if they could have a better environment, they would still be happier.
At the very least, everyone knew that even if conditions were poor at ordinary times, in such conditions, if they wanted to apply to go out and play during their rest time, Hou Mingzhu would not refuse, and might even reimburse their expenses. She was quite a considerate boss.
After confirming the location, Hou Mingzhu waved her hand and booked several large villas in the villa area.
When discussing the new destination, Fatty shivered when he heard it was in the mountains again. "Wow, another place like this. Is something going to happen again?"
Ye Tiancheng immediately patted Fatty's back of the head with annoyance.
"Stop your jinxing. Can't you think of something good?"
Fatty scratched his head and smiled sheepishly, "Hey, I can't help but imagine. There are many rumors about places in the mountains, and it's related to the fragments of the Fuxi Qin. Who knows what will happen?"
The little fox, listening from the side, couldn't help but say, "It shouldn't be like this, right? This isn't a secluded mountain area, isn't it a tourist attraction? And people have come to build villas here. In such a place..."
Fatty said, "Haven't we seen people having accidents in big cities before?"
The little fox was speechless.
If he insisted on arguing like this, then he had nothing to say.
Hou Mingzhu then asked Ye Tiancheng, "Then, shall I have someone investigate if anything has happened there?"
Ye Tiancheng felt that such things could not be investigated in advance, because it was difficult to say what would happen. Perhaps nothing had happened before, but something would happen after they arrived.
However, after Fatty brought it up, Ye Tiancheng couldn't help but think about it.
So, in response to Hou Mingzhu's question, Ye Tiancheng immediately nodded, "Investigate. No matter what, it's good to be more prepared."
The overall feedback was relatively good, because nothing unusual was found. The resort was built by a promising young man from their village who had achieved success outside and returned to develop his hometown.
Then he had someone build a resort there. The place wasn't particularly special, but it had good natural environment and decent scenery, making it very suitable for recuperation and relaxation, so it actually did well.
Because of this, it didn't have much fame.
As for some metaphysical rumors, there were none. No strange incidents had ever happened there, nor had any accidents occurred. The local customs and folk traditions were quite good, and the public security was excellent.
When they received the information, they had already arrived in the mountains.
They studied the information, and it seemed very normal. There was nothing unclear. At least, there shouldn't have been anything significant before. At least, it could be basically confirmed that there would be no particularly powerful evil spirits.
Since it was confirmed that nothing had happened before, they felt a little more at ease.
After settling down, before they started their main business, Fatty talked with Ye Tiancheng and the others privately.
Fatty said to Ye Tiancheng, "These mountain roads are winding and twisting, and they almost made me sick. There are cliffs on the side of the road. It's so thrilling. I never expected that there would be a resort in such a mountain hollow."
Ye Tiancheng said, "I heard that the person who returned to the village to build the resort paid for it himself. I heard that they didn't even have a main road before, and cars couldn't get in at all."
The little fox tilted his head and listened from the side, "Then, that person is very capable. It must be very expensive to build such a road, right?"
Ye Tiancheng said, "That's for sure."
Fatty patted his chest. He was really dizzy on the way and felt a lingering fear. "If you ask me, not many people would be willing to take a car on this mountain road. We should have taken a plane."
Ye Tiancheng said, "No matter what, where would there be an airport in these mountains?"
Fatty replied, "Then, doesn't sister-in-law have a plane?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he received a rap on the head from his Brother Ye.
"You're always thinking about sister-in-law's plane. How much does a flight cost?"
Fatty scratched his head and said to Ye Tiancheng, "I really admire the people who often drive on this road. Didn't a bus drive in front of us when we came in?"
"That bus was swaying. In some narrower sections, the body of the bus occupied the entire road, and the road was very rugged and steep. Yet, the bus was packed with people. Not only was it full, but there were also people standing inside. The entire bus was like a can packed with sardines."
"Even so, the driver is really not afraid of overturning. This is overloaded!"
"We didn't see any news about bus accidents in the information before. Could it be that no car accidents have ever happened? This is truly a miracle..."
When Fatty mentioned it, Ye Tiancheng couldn't help but recall the scene at that time.
Indeed, there was a very unstable bus driving in front of them. Because the mountain road was not wide and was very steep, the winding roads were definitely not an exaggeration. Therefore, they dared not drive fast and dared not overtake, so they kept following behind that bus.
But the bus driver was truly bold. He drove very fast, and sometimes the speed was not slow when turning. The curvature of the mountain road was large, which was truly heart-pounding.
Ye Tiancheng thought for a moment and said, "That bus, it's obvious that it carries quite a lot of people each time. If it overturned, how many lives would be lost? Perhaps the driver's skills are really superb, and no accidents have happened."
"Otherwise, such a major accident, let alone the information investigated by Mingzhu, would probably make the news."
Fatty thought it made sense and felt a little relieved, but his admiration for the bus driver was truly like the Yellow River, flowing endlessly.
He would never dare to drive like that in his life.
The mountain road was already very dangerous, and he was driving a bus, and it was overloaded.
It should be known that overloading is the most dangerous. The vehicle is prone to losing balance and is difficult to decelerate, especially on downhill roads. The brakes are not as effective, and if one turns too fast at a corner and fails to turn properly, one might fall off a cliff at any moment.
Fatty's final sigh was, "Fortunately, we don't have to take a bus."
Because Shao Ying was no longer with them this time, there was no need to split into two groups. Ye Tiancheng and the others mainly stayed in the same building. Ye Tiancheng chose a room on the second floor, and Fatty and the little fox also stayed on the same floor, choosing adjacent rooms.
As for the other villas booked by Hou Mingzhu, they were naturally for the accompanying bodyguards, servants, and tutors.
A small number of servants and a small part of the bodyguards also stayed in the same building as Ye Tiancheng and the others, mainly living on the first floor, responsible for care and protecting the employer's safety.
Since they would be staying overnight, and they couldn't entrust everything to the servants to pack, upon arrival, they mainly had people check the hygiene and safety of the villas. After everything was verified and there were no problems, and the servants had roughly tidied up the villa rooms, Ye Tiancheng and the others moved into their rooms, took out their personal belongings, and arranged them one by one.
They arrived at noon. After finishing packing, it was already evening, and it was almost time for dinner.
Ye Tiancheng took Hou Mingzhu to ask Fatty and the little fox, intending to ask everyone's opinion on what to eat for dinner and where to eat. Ye Qingcheng also followed them. Ye Qingcheng was also quite happy and looking forward to playing again.
