The next day, Ning Xi got up early and changed into light clothes.
Today I made an appointment with Gong Shangze to go to Taoyuan Village to visit the Chinese painting master Mr. Song Jin.
Taoyuan Village was a bit far away, about three or four hours' drive away. In addition, the road conditions in the village were not good and cars could not drive in, so Ning Xi decided not to drive herself and directly bought a ticket to take a long-distance bus.
Earlier in the studio, Ning Xi had studied Song Jin's strategy plan in detail with Gong Shangze.
It contains all the biographical information and works of Mr. Song in great detail, especially his personality and preferences.
Unfortunately, the results of the study are not very optimistic.
The bus slowly drove away from the city. Ning Xi leaned back in her chair, looking at the densely packed information in the Fun→ Pavilion notebook with a headache. "Ah, it's really a bit difficult... To reach the level of Old Song, you've basically jumped out of the Three Realms and are no longer in the Five Elements! It's really hard to please him!"
Gong Shangze, who was also browsing Song Jin's works on his iPad, murmured upon hearing this, "Mr. Song lives alone now, so it's impossible to start with the people around him. And the worst thing is that Mr. Song particularly hates people disturbing his peace, so it's unlikely that you can use money or other mundane things to please him..."
"Tsk, everyone has weaknesses! It's impossible that there are no flaws at all! It's useless to just talk about it on paper, let's see the real person first!"
"Um!"
…
In the car, Ning Xi slept with her head tilted, and when she woke up, she was almost there.
Because Ning Xi and Gong Shangze got off at the last stop, they were the only two people left on the bus. It seemed that this place was really sparsely populated.
But it’s no wonder, otherwise the scenery wouldn’t be so pristine.
"Wow! The scenery here is so beautiful!" Looking at the green peach forest outside the window, Ning Xi suddenly became energetic and couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.
Gong Shangze nodded, "Even the air is so fresh!"
"Emma! This is pure air without any smog! I need to take a few more breaths!" Ning Xi squinted her eyes and took several deep breaths.
"The scenery will be even better once we enter the village!" Gong Shangze said with some longing.
"Tsk, Mr. Song really knows how to enjoy himself! He should be very inspired to create in a place like this, right?"
…
As they were talking, they arrived at the last stop. Ning Xi hurriedly picked up her backpack and got off the bus with Gong Shangze.
"Then how do we go?" Ning Xi looked at the endless fields and peach forests in front of her, feeling relaxed and happy. She thought that even if she couldn't invite anyone, it would be nice to just treat it as an outing.
I must bring baby Bei here to play if I have the chance. The last time I went camping with Lu Tingxiao, I didn't bring baby Bei with me. Ning Xi has always felt sorry for baby Bei, so she plans to make up for it by taking him on a spring outing.
Gong Shangze glanced at the navigation on his phone and said, "Just keep going along this path!"
"Okay! Let's go—"
Ning Xi picked a peach blossom by the roadside and walked forward with a proud and confident look.
However, half an hour later, the two were confused.
"Uh, Gong Shangze... are we lost?"
Gong Shangze fiddled with his phone anxiously, "But that's what the navigation says!"
"So, the navigation is telling us to swim across?" Ning Xi stared blankly at the broad river in front of her.
Gong Shangze sighed, "The terrain here is complicated, and the navigation is probably not accurate. I was careless!"
There was no choice but to keep walking around. It was not until the evening that they finally saw a small courtyard.
