" Don"t leave my side " it didn"t take for Lin Jing and Su Wan to walk past the messily graveyard at it didn"t take a lot of s.p.a.ce and soon they reached the mountain, Lin Jing usually? traversed around the mountain range without bothering with the long winding roads that cut across the mountain after all the place from where he could get good quality? wood for making the table and other furniture was in the rear of the mountain but now that he was with Su Wan , Lin Jing didn"t want to go over the mountain range instead he was thinking about finding a st.u.r.dy tree so that he can make do with its wood .
However , Su Wan wasn"t as worried as Lin Jing , she could see that this mountain range wasn"t as very high as she thought and the mountain trail that was winding across it was squiggling through the peaks , thus she knew that this? mountain road was used by villagers every now and then - and she hadn"t even seen a single useful resource - how can she just return back without her loot ? She need to travel deeper in the mountain to get what she wanted , so ignoring Lin Jing "s warning she loudly stated " we are going in , what kind of good tree can you find at the foot of the mountains anyway ? "
With that she threw Lin Jing "s warning in the back of her head and leaped forward diving right into the forest thickets . Now , that Su Wan had already take a lead , there was nothing Lin Jing could do , he could only follow behind his wife , tightly clutching on the hunting knife on his waist .
Su Wan observed the surrounding on both sides of the trail with excitement - she was waiting for something incredible to pop out , but in and in they went there was nothing at all -? Su Wan was certain that she might have been walking in the forest for at least half an hour , then why was it she hadn"t seen anything good yet ?
She looked back at Lin Jing who was tightly clutching on his knife and looking around with a fierce expression as if expecting a wolf of hyena to jump at them from no where , she rolled her eyes - yes she do understand his fears but - they were still walking in the outskirts of the forest , will a wolf come out this far ?
Ferocious beasts like wolves liked to dwell in? deep in the mountains , but no matter what Su Wan thought she didn"t say it out loud instead she turned to Lin Jing and said " Jing ge, are there any trees with flowers like roses or any other flower that has a nice scent ? I need them for a new product for the make up shop "
Lin Jing heard Su Wan"s question and stiffened ever so slightly , he did knew where they could find flowers that had nice scent but it was just that those flowers grew in the same place from where he got the wood for furniture , and that place was not somewhere he would like to take his wife either but as Su Wan was looking at him with eyes that were shining with antic.i.p.ation , he couldn"t break her heart .
" come with me " resigned to the fact that maybe his wife was here to make things difficult for him , Lin Jing led Su Wan through? the winding paths that led the two of them much more closer to the back of the mountains . The deeper they went the more precipitous the path became , Su Wan"s body was not used to walking in such path in the end she had to crouch down and use both her hands and feet to walk .
Lin Jing could not see her struggling like that , in the end he too crouched down in front of Su Wan and said " come up , I will carry you "
Su Wan too wanted to do that but the path was too steep , she was afraid that Lin Jing might miss his footing in case something wrong happened " no its alright , I can still walk "
However , Lin Jing didn"t move he was still crouching in front of her , Su Wan was so angry that she laughed in the end she got on his back and let him do what he wanted . Why was it that she didn"t know if till now that Lin Jing had such a stubborn streak ?
Once Su Wan got on Lin Jing "s back there speed considerably increased and it didn"t take long for them to walk right past the dense weeds , with Lin Jing who was clearing up the path in front of them , they could easily walk forward without falling in ditches that kept popping left and right , Su Wan was glad that she let Lin Jing carry her , if she was on her own maybe she might have already fallen in one of those ditches .
Soon , Lin Jing cleared the weeds in front of them and the pair of them came at a halt on top of a cliff that had such thick and lush vegetation that Su Wan was left in awe , thick cl.u.s.ter of trees decorated the entire cliff and there were many plants that were still in bloom despite the cold weather - bright red roses were shimmering with dew drops , Opulent And Heady Stargazer Lily stood tall in the middle of the valley , a? gentle and citrusy scent of mock orange drifted through out the valley - this wasn"t just a cliff , this was the land of her dreams !!
One look at those brightly scattered flowers and Su Wan was certain that she wanted to buy this piece of land , no matter what happened ! She hopped down Lin Jing "s back and hurriedly walked over to the creamy cl.u.s.ter of Viburnums and smelled its sweet ice tea like smell with a tinge of lemon - this place was such a piece of art , there was no way she was going to let this wonderful land go . With these flowers here , it won"t take long for her to launch a range of scented candles , scented soaps and perfumed creams !This was what she meant by being lucky.
