Four hours after the intrusion, Chi Lian was sitting in a car with Old tiger and spider. In their hands, each was holding a pair of binoculars looking through them at a large tea plantation. Even from this distance, she could smell the scent of burned tea leaves in the air as it was carried by the wind from the plantation.
She needed no binoculars to see accurately because her vision was superior. She could see that all of the trees were covered with snow, except for the ones in green houses. This made it easy to see the people moving up and about.
The busiest area of the plantation was the manufacturing side because even though tea planting and picking could not be done in the winter, production had no assigned season.
