The Herbal Scents of Farm Life
Chapter 240 - 240 240 The Passage is Closed

Chapter 240: Chapter 240: The Passage is Closed Chapter 240: Chapter 240: The Passage is Closed She was in a hurry to get back. She had to ask Yujing what was going on and why she couldn’t reach the Zhong family’s doorstep.

“Yes, yes.”

Seeing her refusal, the old woman was thrilled. She released her hand and took two steps forward, shouting into the desolate street.

“Everyone, come out! Immortal Liu has come to see us, Immortal Liu has returned.”

At her call, lights in the houses on both sides started to come on one after another, and people gradually came out.

“Where is Immortal Liu?” Several people asked the old woman.

The old woman turned around, only to find an empty space behind her where Lin Caisang should’ve been.

…

“What’s going on, tell me?”

In the Jinzhu space, Lin Caisang gasped slightly, hands on her waist, looking at Yujing.

“I wanted to go to the Zhong family, the Zhong family. Why did this passage take me to Hongling Town?” She pointed at the passage by her side and asked Yujing.

This passage was supposed to lead to the mission locations. As long as she was thinking about a mission, it could take her there.

But what happened this time? Did something go wrong with the passage? Was it broken? Why did it take her to Hongling Town, where she was almost overwhelmed by the enthusiasm of the town’s people?

‘Mission completed, passage closed.’ Yujing displayed two lines of text.

Lin Caisang: “…”

The passage was already closed. It would’ve helped if this was said earlier. She had been planning to pass through here and ended up wasting her time.

However, if the passage in the Jinzhu space was closed, which way was she supposed to go now? Was she really supposed to walk to the Zhong family at the other end of Qianlin County? It would probably take a day to get there and back, wouldn’t it?

“Go back to sleep.”

She decided to rest and recharge, preparing to set off for Zhong You in the morning.

…

Early the next morning, using the excuse of not having enough silver, Lin Caisang went out with half a basket of medicinal materials. She planned to wait at the entrance of the village to see if there were any oxcarts that could take her to town. From there, she intended to rent a horse carriage to the Zhong family.

Who knew…

“Why are you here?”

At the village entrance, apart from a person named Ya Molian, there didn’t seem to be anyone else around.

“You…”

She looked to the left, then to the right, then back at Ya Molian.

“You are going to town.”

He couldn’t possibly be here waiting specifically for her, could he? Seeing him riding a horse, she could tell he had something important to do. It probably had nothing to do with her, right?

“Get on.”

Ya Molian looked down at her from his high perch on the horse, extending a hand towards her.

“Huh?”

Lin Caisang was taken aback, utterly failing to react. After a while, she shook her head.

“No, no. You go do what you need to do. We’re not going the same way, let’s each mind our own business.”

She wasn’t really going to sell medicinal materials, she was going to the Zhong family for a task. How could she take Ya Molian along?

Suddenly, a bad premonition crossed her mind. She squinted suspiciously at Ya Molian. Could it be that he’d been waiting here just for her? Did he know about her task?

“You’ve been waiting… for me?” She asked tentatively.

“What else?” Ya Molian threw the question back at her.

Lin Caisang: “!!!”

Good grief, he really had been waiting for her. Could it be that he knew she was going to the Zhong family?

She seriously doubted whether Ya Molian had planted a spy in her house or placed a pair of ears over her heart. How else could he know every thought she had?

This was getting too strange.
