NOVPUBThe two began inspecting the dilapidated villa.
The courtyard was neither too large nor too small, resembling a small siheyuan (courtyard house).
However, there was also a small back garden.
The trees in the courtyard were withered, looking as if they had been hollowed out by insects. The windows were long since rotted and broken.
Taking advantage of the remaining daylight, Shen Roujia waved to Tu Lie. “Brother Tu Lie, let’s check the back garden.”
Tu Lie pushed aside the piles of wooden planks and debris blocking the corridor, revealing the back garden’s general appearance.
But at that moment, Shen Roujia froze in place.
The back garden was entirely different from the front courtyard’s decay—here, the flowerbeds were lush and full of blooming flowers.
Shen Roujia hurried over to examine them and immediately instructed Tu Lie to cover his mouth and nose. “It’s all little orchids.”
Tu Lie frowned, “Are these plants dangerous?”
Shen Roujia nodded. “The problem lies entirely with these plants. They’re modified little orchids, and I’m not sure of their effects.”
