Anchor with goods, the price of F2 is very reasonable, right?

Chapter 803 won't be too obvious.

Wang Yang nodded slightly. The others weren't worried, but they were concerned about Shen Qing. This pampered city girl, spoiled since childhood, might find it difficult to adapt to a harsh environment.

"After we set off, Shen Qing, Xiao Jiang, and I will be the four of us who will be in the open, while the rest of us will either follow behind or lead the way. This way, our team won't be too conspicuous."

Xiao Qiang agreed with the plan, suggesting they had extensive travel experience. This arrangement would narrow their target area, and even if they encountered Shen Qiang's men, they wouldn't be easily detected.

After the meeting, Wang Yang did not return to his own room, but went to Shen Qing's residence.

"Did you hear the plans from today's meeting? I still suggest you stay here, and let the nannies and the others stay as well."

Shen Qing shook her head firmly: "Yesterday, the nanny made it clear that she insisted on coming with us. Although she knows that she is old and may be a burden to everyone, she still wants to see for herself."

Wang Yang frowned. He had already decided not to let the nanny accompany him, given her advanced age, frail health, and the perilous journey ahead. Unexpectedly, the nanny came knocking on Shen Qing's door at that moment.

"I didn't expect Wang Yang to be here too. You two talk first, I'll come back later."

"No need, wet nurse, we are talking about your matter."

Wang Yang nodded and said, "Aunt Wang, please come in. We were just talking about you."

Wang Fang knew they were definitely discussing whether she should go to Peach Blossom Spring with them.

“I discussed it with my son yesterday, and we must go together. After all, I know a lot of old stories, and maybe I can help. If you lose contact, I won’t be able to rest easy back home.”

Wang Yang was still hesitant, after all, the road ahead was fraught with danger and uncertainty.

“But the journey will be fraught with danger and the environment will be extremely harsh. I’m afraid Shen Qing will not be able to endure it. I was just advising her to stay with you. It’s much safer here.”

Shen Qing immediately retorted, "How can that be? I have to go. I must find my parents. If I can find them, I can see them immediately. Wang Yang, take us with you. We will never be a burden to anyone."

Wang Yang sighed helplessly. He wasn't worried about being a burden; in fact, their companionship would indeed be helpful in the search for the Peach Blossom Spring. It was just that the environment was too harsh, and he feared they wouldn't be able to endure it.

“I’m really worried that you won’t be able to adapt. You’ve never experienced this kind of environment before, especially Aunt Wang who is quite old.”

"Don't worry, I've been consistently doing square dancing and aerobics all these years, and I'm in great shape. If it really doesn't work out, we can go back, okay?"

Seeing their insistence, Wang Yang could no longer refuse.

"In that case, if you find it difficult to continue along the way, we will send someone to bring you back. Don't worry, there are plenty of people in the team."

"Alright, I'll go out first. You two can continue your conversation." Aunt Wang said and quickly left.

Wang Yang looked slightly embarrassed: "I came here specifically to talk about this. I still want to remind you to be careful on the way, and to let me know immediately if you feel unwell."

Feeling Wang Yang's genuine care, Shen Qing felt a warmth in her heart.

"Don't worry, I will be careful."

Her main reason for insisting on going with him was, of course, to find her parents, but she also hoped to spend more time with Wang Yang and perhaps make progress in their relationship.

"Then you should get some rest. We're leaving tomorrow morning. All the supplies are ready; you have someone in charge of purchasing them over there."

Their logistical support was quite comprehensive, and all departments were fully staffed, demonstrating that the arrangements were indeed very thoughtful.

The next morning at five o'clock, everyone got up and busied themselves until seven o'clock before officially setting off, heading northwest. At the beginning of the journey, most people on the bus were catching up on sleep. Because they were thinking about finally embarking on their journey to find the Peach Blossom Spring, no one had slept well the night before.

As night fell, they arrived at their first post station. It could only be considered an inn, far from a hotel. It was small and poorly equipped.

They didn't expect to find a hotel along the way; if necessary, they could all spend the night on the train, since the carriages were spacious enough.

After checking in, Wang Yang chatted warmly with the owner.

"Logically speaking, your place is so remote, your inn business should be very slow, right?"

"That's true on weekdays, but people still come during peak tourist season. The country has produced a lot of promotional videos for this area, and many tourists want to come and experience the desert scenery."

Wang Yang nodded in understanding: "But this place is too remote, isn't it? And it lacks tourist attractions."

The shop owner handed me a bottle of mineral water and explained with a smile:
"You're unaware of this, which means you don't know enough about this place. Continue northwest, and there's a rather dense forest that's quite worth visiting."

Wang Yang suddenly realized. They had heard of that forest before, but it seemed to have nothing else to offer, so there was nothing particularly interesting about it.

Are there any other attractions outside the forest? Or should we venture further in?

"As far as I know, there shouldn't be any more. The promotional video only went that far; beyond that, it's just an endless desert, and there's nothing there."

Wang Yang nodded silently. He guessed that the Peach Blossom Spring was either hidden in that forest or deeper inside. But after repeatedly studying the promotional video, there was indeed nothing there further in.

Are there many tourists visiting that forest on weekdays?

“It’s already a long way from here, and we have to walk a long way to see that forest. To be honest, it’s not worth spending so much money to see a forest.”

The shop owner only spoke the truth because he saw that Wang Yang was a straightforward person; that forest really wasn't anything special.

"How long have you lived here? Have you been running this shop all along?"

The shop owner nodded in agreement, a proud look on his face: "Of course. Let me tell you, my family has lived here for generations, always protecting this area. My grandfather instructed us that our family is the guardian of this place, and we must stay here forever, and never leave under any circumstances."

It's clear that this family has very strict traditions. Otherwise, given the less-than-ideal living conditions here, the owner would probably have moved away long ago.

"But the education level here is limited and the living environment is not ideal. Why don't you consider moving to another place?"

“Our family has a tradition passed down through generations: once you leave this place, you will encounter misfortune. I have an uncle who moved away once. He felt that the outside world was wider and the quality of education was better. To be honest, there's nothing wrong with what he thought, don't you think?”

Wang Yang agreed. Any normal person would have such a thought.

"But that's where the problem lies. After he moved out, one bad thing after another happened, and it all seemed so strange. In the end, he had no choice but to move back. After he came back, everything returned to normal."

Wang Yang frowned. He never believed such rumors, but although the shop owner was talkative, he didn't seem like the type to make up lies.

"That's truly amazing. That's why your family has stayed here for generations."

“You’re right. We hardly see any visitors all year round; very few people come here.”
