Chapter 746 - The Fishing Village (2/2)
“Granny, how do we go back?” Meng Jing asks.
“By car,” the old woman says, “There is a town ahead. We have other members in town and they will drive us there.”
Meng Jing nods and thinks that it won’t take a long time since they are going there by car.
However, to her astonishment, after they get in the car, they still have to spend a few more days on the road.
She finally realizes that the Ghost Sect is not situated in Ice City but another place in Huaxia.
It is difficult to imagine what the old woman has experienced to make her so astonishingly prudent…
…
As the plane lands stably, Gao Ge and Xie Zhuolian get out of the airport together.
A black Volkswagen car has waited for a long time.
Two men in a black suit walk forward together.
“Mr. Gao, Miss Xie, hello. We are the Dragon Court members stationed in Julang City. I’m Ge Chunrong. He is Zhang Jian.” A man, seemingly in his thirties, greets them first. The other man is slightly older, who is about 45 years old.
“Hello.” Gao Ge shakes hands with them and then sits in the car.
After getting in the car, Gao Ge asks, “Are you the only members of the Dragon Court in Julang City?”
“There should be seven or eight members but now, we are the only rest ones,” Ge Chunrong says with a smile, “Actually, we don’t know what you are up to in Julang City but you must be here for some special mission. Otherwise, the other people wouldn’t be transferred away.”
Gao Ge is a bit surprised and asks, “Are the six other members not trustworthy?”
“No, it is just because they joined the Dragon Court relatively late,” Ge Chunrong explains.
From start to finish, neither Ge Chunrong nor Zhang Jian asks Gao Ge why they come to Julang City.
It is impossible that they are not curious. Ge Chunrong has joined the Dragon Court at the age of 18 and Zhang Jian has been a member of the Dragon Court for 20 years. They are clear about what they can know and what they cannot know.
Besides, for them, it is actually not a bad thing to know less, because the more they know, the more things they need to do.
When the car stops, they find they have arrived at a fishing village.
It has been three hours since they got out of the airport.
When they get off the car, they see the soft beach nearby and hear the screech of the seagulls, which sounds melodious indeed.
“This place is facing the sea. What a beautiful scene!” Gao Ge smiles.
“This is a good place indeed,” Ge Chunrong walks behind and says to Gao Ge, “In the next several days, you will sojourn here. Of course, Zhang Jian and I will stay here too. No matter what you need, we will satisfy it anyway.”
“Thank you.”
“You are welcome.”
Gao Ge also finds that the middle-aged man called Zhang Jian is not talkative. Ge Chunrong is probably about the age of Gao Ge and Xie Zhuolian so he talks a bit more.
They enter a house. The several rooms in the house are well cleaned. A girl wearing a headscarf happens to walk out.
“Brother Ge, Uncle Zhang, you are back! I’ve cleaned the house well.” The girl looks about 15 or 16 years old. Probably because she is exposed to the sun and the wind, her skin condition is not so good.
Ge Chunrong coughs and says with a bitter smile, “I’ve told you so many times. You can call me in any way but not Brother Ge. It sounds like cluck, the sound of a hen.”
The girl grins innocently.
“By the way, Mr. Gao, she is Cai, a villager of the fishing village,” Ge Chunrong turns around and explains, “We will sojourn at her home, and they have moved somewhere else.”
“Okay.” Gao Ge nods his head.
