8 Chapter 8: Doing good (2/2)

All of them gathered together and went out of the courtyard in search of clues.

They passed by multiple villagers and their household looking here and there.

Time passed by without may clues so they decided to split up and search for clues individually and return to the courtyard after some hours Cai remained with Fu ya as he was adamant about staying by her side.

Soon there were 4 parties wandering inside the North‚ West‚ East and South parts of the village.

Feng Mei accompanied by his system went north‚ Fu ya and Cai in the west.

George and Harry wandering in the Eastern path of the village‚ as Oliver being the older one among the other two‚ decided to go solo in the southern area of the village.

Feng Mei walked around the northern area of the village and reached a lake surrounded by chrysanthemum flowers near bloom.

Feng Mei didn't go further as only trees and a huge forest lied beyond. He decided to return back to the courtyard.

He sat on the table inside a pavilion near the courtyard as he awaited the returns of others. After some minutes Fi ya returned with Cai.

Cai hands were filled with different types of goods.

”Did you find any clues?” asked Cai while looking at Feng Mei

”Nope‚ there were only some Villagers living in the northern part of the village‚ in front lied a lake and a forest” replied Feng Mei. ”How about you guys”

Cai just moved up his hand covered in different types of goods while looking at Feng Mei.

Fu ya went inside the pavilion and sat opposite to Feng Mei as they waited for the guards.

Cai placed the good inside Feng ya room‚ came to the pavilion and stood beside her.

George and Harry came back to the courtyard

Cai asked them if they found anything they simply moved they're ahead In a refusal manner and sat inside the pavilion with Feng Mei.

They started chatting while awaiting Oliver to return.

After a while Oliver returned‚ seeing everyone sitting in the pavilion he also went there.

Feng Mei looked at Oliver and started to ask him about his findings‚

”There were no clues‚ hmmm‚ Except that the woodcutter of this village has his hand bitten by a beast and it will need him some days to recover”

Suddenly,

”The path ahead is long‚ acquiring my treasures is destined by karma‚ Doing good brings luck and doing bad causes misfortune”.

The system mechanical voice rang in Feng Mei heads.

His eyes brightened up, he finally found a lead, which may lead to a conclusion!

He eagerly looked at George and harry and asked them if any families on the Eastern side were facing any problems.

George and Harry started using their mind thinking about the villagers they went by and the houses they wandered about but none of them seemed to be in trouble.

”Oh! I remembered while roaming around in the market place I heard aunty Li gossiping about ”little big” falling sick‚ he used to carry water from the well in a bucket and give them to multiple families in the village” Fu ya enticed by his words started chirping!

”George and harry you guys go and find about which family ”little big” provided water with and help them out by carrying water from the well for them” said Feng Mei while looking at them.

”Oliver go and help out the woodcutter and cut the woods for the villager in his place”

”What about me” Fu ya asked eagerly.

”You can just go around the village and gossip with the aunties” replied Feng Mei

”Uhmm‚ why are we doing this”Cai asked the important question.

”Do you remember what was written on the stone?” Feng Mei was going to start explaining his conclusion based on facts.

”Nope‚ since we suddenly got teleported In front of the village”

Feng Mei repeated the words written on the stone

”The path ahead is long‚ acquiring my treasures is destined by karma‚ Doing good brings luck and doing bad causes misfortune”

The other still looked confused so he started explaining in detail!

”This village is like a riddle‚ to solve it we need to do good until a clue appears In front of us. I only ask you guys to believe in me for a week or two. If we find no clues by than‚ you all can do as you wish”. Feng Mei said to the surrounding 5 peoples in the pavilion, after all he too has his pride. He was a young master from a modern world!

He also has complete trust in his intelligence!
