After finishing breakfast, Qing Wan signaled Da Kao to take the medicine basket prepared in advance, and the two of them left the house through the side door of Qing Mansion. From the beginning to the end, no special instructions were given to Lu Yi.
On the way, Dou Kao asked uneasily: "Miss, do you think Lu Yi will go to the old lady to complain about us sneaking out of the house?"
"No!" Qing Wan's answer was extremely affirmative. From the other party's attitude this morning, it can be judged that Lu Yi is a smart person. She will not act rashly before she understands the old lady's intention of assigning her to her.
of.
In other words, she knows better than anyone else what to say and what not to say in front of the old lady.
However, Dou Kao was a little puzzled, and asked irritably: "Why can the young lady be so sure? After all, she is the person arranged by the old lady for you, and her heart must be biased towards the old lady."
"Since the old lady gave her to me, she will be mine from now on. If she is not clear about this, I don't think the old lady will let her come."
"Oh!" Kao Kao nodded in understanding.
Seeing her confused look, Qing Wan couldn't help but sigh.
Daukou felt guilty when he saw it, and couldn't help but whispered: "Miss, is Daukou too stupid?"
Qingwan shook her head.
In fact, Daukou is not stupid, she is just too simple. As everyone knows, living in such a house is simply a disaster, and you may lose your life if you are not careful.
But after all, she is still just an eleven or twelve-year-old child, inexperienced in the world. If she wants to become transparent and exquisite, she will have to go through a period of training.
Daukou looked at her and wanted to ask but didn't dare. He was afraid that the other party would say that he was really stupid, so he could only tilt his head and think hard all the way, wondering what the lady meant by what she said.
Unknowingly, the two of them arrived at the foot of the mountain where Qing Wan often went.
Just as Qingwan expected, at this time, the fog on the mountain had almost dispersed, and only the top of the mountain was still a little foggy.
Staring at the dark mountains in front of her, Daukou frowned unconsciously: "Miss, can you really find the spices you want here?"
"Let's have a look!" Qing Wan wasn't very sure either.
She remembered that when she went up the mountain before, she had seen several special spices mentioned in the book. However, at that time, her mind was not on making incense, so she did not pay special attention to the specific location.
Nowadays, it is not easy to find it from this large mountain forest, so we can only try.
Qing Wan led Da Kao, and based on their memory, they walked up the mountain along the path. After wandering in the mountains for most of the day, watching the time go by, Da Kao was in a hurry when she saw Qing Wan stop in front of an old tree, tired.
There was an expression of joy on his face and he said: "Finally I found it, it's here!"
"Huh? But there's nothing here except trees?" Cardamom looked left and right, but couldn't find where the spice the other party mentioned was.
Qing Wan pointed at the big tree in front of her and said, "That's it. This is an old agarwood tree, estimated to be several hundred years old. Look at the injured part on it, the overflowing dark brown substance.
This is the agarwood we are going to collect today.”
"But... it's so high, how can we get up there?" Daukou didn't understand what the other party said. She just wanted to know how to get the thing down?
