Seeing that the other party insisted on fanning herself, Shen Rong couldn't refuse him, so she handed the fan to Zhao Xi.

After Zhao Xi got the fan, he waved it with his left hand which was closer to the carriage. He was very strong and even Shen Rong who was sitting next to him could feel the wind.

Seeing that he didn't look unwell, Shen Rong said nothing and turned her head to look at the scenery outside the car window.

She hadn't been back to Taohua Village for several years, and the scenery on the way back to the village seemed to have not changed much.

The roadside is still the same as before, with fields in patches, and in the distance are rolling green hills and green forests. White clouds float in the vast blue sky, which is much more open than the sky in Jingchengli that is divided into pieces by courtyards.

The carriage was swaying slowly, and neither of the two people in the carriage spoke for a while. It was very quiet in the carriage, so quiet that it made people feel a little uncomfortable.

Shen Rong looked out the window, feeling the gentle breeze, and suddenly she felt a pair of eyes falling on her.

Thinking that there were only her and Master Zhao in the carriage, it was obvious who the owner of that gaze was.

Shen Rong didn't know how to react, so she just pretended to know nothing and just leaned sideways to look out the window.

The scenery outside the carriage slowly receded. After an unknown amount of time, Shen Rong felt that gaze was still on her.

Shen Rong frowned, and at this moment, the person next to her spoke.

"Madam, now that you are back home, I wonder how long you will stay here?" When Zhao Xi saw Shen Rong noticed his gaze, he immediately found a topic.

Shen Rong thought for a moment, "The elderly in my family are getting old and just want to return to their hometown. My children and I don't plan to go to Beijing for the time being. We plan to stay here with our grandparents. As for how long we will stay in our hometown, I don't know yet."

Shen Rong did not just say this to Zhao Xi perfunctorily. Although she did not know Zhao Xi's identity, after all, someone who could be a relative of the young master of the Duke's Mansion must have a high status. She wanted to try her best to have a good relationship with him, so she did not hide it from him.

Zhao Xi was silent for a while. He didn't expect Shen Rong to stay here for so long. He thought that the two old people in the Shen family wanted to return to their hometown, and Shen Rong was sending them back home, but he didn't expect that this was her plan.

"Madam's filial piety moves Heaven." Zhao Xi finally said this dryly.

Shen Rong looked a little embarrassed, "I just did what I should do."

The two chatted for a while.

The carriage was swaying slowly. Shen Rong fell asleep at some point without knowing it, but Zhao Xi's arm with the big fan was still waving the fan, as if he wasn't tired at all.

"Master, we're here!" The coachman outside shouted, and Shen Rong was immediately awakened.

Zhao Xi, who was lying in the carriage and could not see the scenery outside, had no idea that the carriage had arrived at Taohua Village until the coachman reminded him.

When he saw Shen Rong wake up, he quickly put away the fan in his hand.

Shen Rong took a while to realize that she was on the carriage going to Taohua Village.

Shen Rong collected her thoughts and hurriedly stood up to get off the carriage.

As soon as she lifted the car curtain, the familiar scene came into view.

Green bricks, black tiles, vermilion gate, where else could it be other than the Taohua Village Mountain God Temple?

Shen Rong glanced around and found that there were many small stalls on both sides of the road at the foot of the mountain.

Although it’s not a festival, and it’s not the first or fifteenth day of the month, there are still quite a few customers coming and going at those small stalls.

I didn’t expect that after leaving for a few years, the foot of Daqing Mountain had become so prosperous.

Of course, this prosperity is nothing to Shen Rong, who has been to the capital, but compared with the poor Taohua Village in the past, it is a revolutionary change.

As Shen Rong thought about this, she jumped off the carriage.

Zhao Xi's men here carefully sent the person to the guest room in the temple.

The person guarding the temple was a slightly younger Taoist priest. It seemed that he had received the news in advance that Zhao Xi was coming and had prepared the guest room early.

Shen Rong followed him into the guest room. After the servants had packed up, Shen Rong asked everyone else to leave first.

Shen Rong looked at the empty room and said:

"Can we start now?"

Zhao Xi nodded. "Just tell me how you need my cooperation."

Shen Rong pursed her lips and said nothing.

She placed an incense table in the middle of the room, with a small incense burner on it.

Shen Rong took out the basket she brought from the county town and opened it, revealing incense, paper and candles.

Shen Rong took out all the incense sticks in the basket and placed them on the incense table.

Shen Rong glanced at Zhao Xi lying on the bed, and while thinking, she took out a packet of medicine from the basket.

"Last time when I treated you, you were seriously injured and you were not awake. This time, you need to fall asleep first so that it will be easier for the mountain god to treat you."

Zhao Xi's eyelids twitched, "Is it really necessary?"

Shen Rong nodded, "If Mr. Zhao doesn't want to, then forget it, but the mountain god doesn't like to show up in front of others, I'm afraid this will delay Mr. Zhao's recovery."

Zhao Xi knew the seriousness of the situation and thought that healing was the most important thing for now. There would be plenty of opportunities in the future to find out the secrets of Shen.

After figuring it out, Zhao Xi nodded and said, "I'll listen to you, Madam."

Shen Rong asked for a bowl of warm water and sprinkled the knockout drug she had prepared into it in front of Zhao Xi.

Zhao Xi's brows jumped, but he finally took the bowl of water and drank it down in one gulp.

Not long after drinking the water, Zhao Xi fell into a deep sleep.

Shen Rong straightened Zhao Xi's body, then stood in front of the incense table, lit candles and burned incense.

With a pious look on her face, she placed the incense in her hand on the incense burner and muttered something.

"I hereby request the mountain god to heal this young man's injuries and restore his health. I hereby request the mountain god to heal this young man's injuries and restore his health..."

Shen Rong kept repeating these words over and over for half an hour, lighting incense sticks one after another.

Shen Rong knew that Zhao Xi's identity was not simple. Not to mention the previous rescue, which happened suddenly, this time, she would never dare to just force the person into the space so easily.

During the years she spent in the capital, she gained a lot of knowledge and learned that many children from wealthy families were surrounded by masters who came and went without a trace.

When Zhao Xi asked Shen Rong to help him heal his injuries, she thought of this play.

"I hereby request the mountain god to heal the injuries of this young man, so that he can recover his health on the bed. I hereby request the mountain god to heal the injuries of this young man, so that he can recover his health on the bed..."

Shen Rong continued to close her eyes and prayed quietly in front of the incense table.

Her voice became more and more urgent and low, so low that the shadow guards on the roof could hardly hear it. Fortunately, they had practiced martial arts since childhood, and their hearing was several times better than that of ordinary people. They could clearly hear the prayers in Shen Rong's mouth.
