Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

In order to avoid being discovered by Shangguan Pu or the faction hiding in the dark, the couple did not bring anyone with them. Instead, they rented a carriage early in the morning and left the city.

The village One Dot mentioned was called Xiangyang Village. Although it was under the jurisdiction of Cangtong Town, it was not close to Cangtong Town. It was about four hours away.

It was already noon when they arrived at Cang Tong Town. Song Jingchen asked the carriage to stop in front of a noodle shop. He lifted the curtain and said, “Let’s eat here first.”

Shen Yijia sat in the car, feeling drowsy. When she heard this, she rubbed her eyes. “Okay.”

The couple was wearing washed-out cotton clothes. The only warm jacket on their bodies was covered in patches of various sizes.

Such attire might be rare in the capital, but it was not out of place in Cang Tong Town.

The two of them ordered two bowls of noodles. Because it was already past mealtime, there were not many customers in the noodle shop. Soon, the waiter brought over two bowls of hot noodles.

“Dear guests, enjoy.”

“Thank you.” Song Jingchen pushed one of the bowls of noodles in front of

Shen Yijia. “Eat it while it’s hot.”

Shen Yijia grinned. “Thank you, Hubby.”

“I heard the accents of the two guests. You should be from another city, right?”

Perhaps because he was too free, the waiter did not leave after sending them off. Instead, he started chatting with them.

“Yes.” Song Jingchen wasn’t impatient. He added, “My wife and I are preparing to visit our relatives in Xiangyang Village. ”

“Xiangyang Village? I know that place. After leaving the town, go north… But that village is a settlement village. Do you have relatives who got married to someone there?”

The so-called settlement village referred to a village where the people were not born and raised there. Usually, refugees would migrate from other places or be relocated by the government.

Song Jingchen paused and didn’t ask when the people in the village had settled down. He only replied indifferently, “Yes.”

“Dunzi, come and help,” someone called out from the kitchen.

Only then did the waiter stop chatting with them.

After eating the noodles, the two of them set off again. Along the way, they asked around about Xiangyang Village. The sky had already darkened.

This village looked even poorer than Xiagou Village. The carriage drove along the path with difficulty. From time to time, one or two villagers could be seen working in the fields and returning home.

This inexplicably reminded Shen Yijia of her days in Xiagou Village. While she sized up those people, others were also secretly sizing them up.

“A young man on a horse came to our village a few days ago. Another carriage came today. Don’t tell me he’s here to look for the mute grandmother and grandson again.”

“Why don’t you go up and ask?”

“That’s right. w.a.n.g Mazi, go and ask.” Someone joined in.

The man called w.a.n.g Mazi scratched his head. “If you want to ask, ask yourself. I wouldn’t dare.”

“I’m not curious.” The heckling villagers picked up their hoe. “Anyway, I don’t have any relatives with carriages like this.”

“Then I’m not curious.” w.a.n.g Mazi retracted his gaze from the carriage and quickly followed his companion. He muttered, “This d.a.m.n weather is quite cold. It’s better to go back early and warm up my wife and children.”

Their conversation drifted into the couple’s ears. Song Jingchen guessed that the person they were talking about was One Dot, so he didn’t stop to ask for directions. One Dot had already told him the exact location of the house.

The carriage finally stopped in front of a house with a date tree.

Shen Yijia jumped out of the car. In front of her was a mud hut surrounded by a fence. Half of the house had collapsed, and the collapsed part had been rebuilt into a thatched hut.

“Can such a dangerous house really be lived in?” Shen Yijia expressed her doubts.

Moreover, along the way, every family had already lit up their candles, but this house was dark.

She was about to ask Song Jingchen if he had come to the wrong place when a

sickly young man came out of the house.

Seeing them, the young man was stunned for a moment. He opened the fence door and asked, “Who are you looking for?”

Song Jingchen tied the horse to the date tree. “We’re here to look for the mute woman.”

“Ahem, my grandmother has already rested. Besides, I don’t know you,” the young man said as he closed the fence door.

It was obvious that he was unwilling to pay attention to them.

Shen Yijia was a little speechless.

Just as she finished thinking this, a hand was placed on her waist. In the next moment, she was already brought to the courtyard.

The young man turned around.

“We’re here to look for the mute woman. It has nothing to do with whether you know us or not,” Song Jingchen said calmly..
