Wang Lin on the horse did not respond to Manager Mu's question first, but instead looked towards the rear of their carriage team.

"Second Miss, there's a carriage behind our convoy. It must be stuck here like us, unable to get out, and has followed us all the way."

"Yes." Jiang Fugui nodded and instructed Wang Lin, "Send someone to ask them if they are in a hurry to leave tonight. If not, would they be willing to go with us to the village ahead to spend the night? If so, let them follow our convoy."

"Yes."

Wang Lin bowed, pulled the reins, turned his horse's head, and galloped to the end of their carriage team.

After a breath or two, Wang Lin returned to the carriage window and said, "Second Miss, the master said they are in no hurry to leave, so please follow us into the village ahead."

"Okay, let's set off then."

Then, Wang Lin shouted to the people in front and behind the carriage: "Let's go!"

After walking for dozens of miles, they arrived quickly. The village in front of them looked small and it seemed that there were not many people living there.

It was three quarters after midnight and night had already fallen. The village was in darkness, with only a few scattered lights.

The three carriages from the Jiang family stopped one after another under the fence wall at the edge of the village. Shantu and Shanying walked up to the big carriages and helped Old Lady Jiang and Jiang Fugui get off the carriages.

Jiang Fugui got off the carriage first. Just as he stood still, he saw that the accompanying carriage following their team also stopped and pulled aside with the Mu family's carriage.

With the help of moonlight, Jiang Fugui could clearly see the appearance of the accompanying carriage.

Coincidentally, the carriage accompanying them looked familiar to her, and she also happened to know the young man who got off the carriage.

When Old Lady Jiang saw the young man approaching, she was startled at first, then she and Jiang Fugui bowed to him together: "Greetings..."

"I'm outside now, so there's no need for Old Lady Jiang to be polite. Just call me the Third Young Master."

Gong Yulinxu reached out and helped up Old Lady Jiang who was halfway through her ceremony, then with his other hand holding the fan, he nodded up and down at Jiang Fugui, signaling her to get up on her own.

Obviously, he didn't want to reveal his true identity when walking outside.

"Speaking of which, I should also thank Old Lady Jiang and Second Miss Jiang. If it weren't for your carriage leading the way, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to get out of the foot of the mountain today."

"Third Young Master, you are too polite. It's just a small favor, not worth mentioning."

As they were talking, suddenly a few dim white lanterns lit up in the originally dark part of the village.

At the gate of the village stood an expressionless old woman.

When everyone saw the old woman's appearance clearly in the dim light of the lantern, they were all shocked!

The old woman had white silver hair, was very thin, and had a hunched back. Her tattered and faded clothes were covered with pudding...

The key point is that she is blind, but she can light the lanterns in an orderly manner. It seems very strange no matter how you look at it.

Especially in the dead of night, seeing the old woman like this, it would be a lie to say that it is not scary.

What was even more exaggerated was that the old woman seemed to have sensed something and suddenly "looked" in the direction of their group without saying anything.

Although Manager Mu was nearly fifty years old, he was much younger than Old Lady Jiang. He was so frightened that he couldn't even speak clearly and hid behind Wang Lin and the other servants.

Jiang Fugui was afraid that his grandmother would also be frightened, so he quickly took a half step forward and stood in front of her.
