Early the next morning, Chu Ge left the rented apartment and took a taxi straight to Liang Family Town.
Arriving at the foot of Qilian Mountain, Chu Ge chose a different path uphill than last time according to the directions Elder Xiao gave him yesterday, reaching a place he hadn't visited before.
It was a lush bamboo grove, covering about 200 square meters, clearly not wild but meticulously planted and managed by someone.
A small stream meandered through the bamboo grove, babbling along. The water was incredibly clear, allowing him to see the small, lively fish swimming inside from afar.
In the center of the bamboo grove was an open space, where a two-story wooden building stood. Also a cabin in the woods, but this building was far superior to the dilapidated wooden hut Chu Ge had encountered while avoiding assassination. It was ancient yet exquisite.
This setting, while not exactly a heavenly paradise, could certainly be considered an earthly utopia.
