“Stonehenge can be found in many places, but the most famous one is probably the one located on Salisbury Plain in Wiltshire, England!” The most obvious information from Bethany's dream was about this place.
Emma shook her head, “But it doesn't match at all. I've checked the other places, and it shouldn't be any of them!”
Bai Yujing gathered all the information related to Stonehenge. “Stonehenge originated around four thousand years ago when a group of people with early civilization began migrating from the Wales region to England, bringing Stonehenge with them. Initially, Stonehenge was likely built for sacrificial purposes, but over time, its functions became more diverse.”
Emma also knew this information: “It is said that during the early civilization period, Stonehenge was a structure that only the upper slave owners could enter to communicate with the gods. They used this structure and religion to enslave and confuse the local natives. The construction method of Stonehenge is quite remarkable, made up of massive stones weighing dozens of tons. Given the level of civilization at that time, it is unimaginable.”
“These people, who migrated from who knows where, built such a Stonehenge wherever they went. To the local natives, it was undoubtedly a divine creation, and those who constructed Stonehenge were regarded as representatives of the gods, willingly submitting to their rule!”
“So, people in 2000 BC were already using methods of deception to govern the populace. Indeed, we cannot underestimate the wisdom of ancient people!” Bai Yujing exclaimed.
Emma continued, “What’s even more astonishing is that aside from the outer structures, the core stone pillars of Stonehenge were not sourced locally but were transported from distant Wales. They moved these massive stones over hundreds of miles, which is simply unimaginable for four thousand years ago.”
Bai Yujing asked, “Why were they so insistent on using stones from Wales?”
“Perhaps there are some special reasons! Ah! I found it!” Emma suddenly exclaimed as if she had discovered something.
Bai Yujing immediately saw a distant view displayed on the computer screen that looked very similar to what Bethany had described. Bai Yujing was astonished: “How did you find it so quickly?”
Emma replied, “This is Wales. I just mentioned it and thought I’d search for it. I didn’t expect it would actually be here—Snowdonia National Park!”
However, Emma immediately frowned: “But something seems off; I’ve been there and didn’t see such a Stonehenge!”
Although Snowdonia National Park has "park" in its name, it is quite different from parks in other countries. It is the largest national park in Wales, and the second largest in Britain after the Lake District. Covering an area of 840 square miles, Snowdonia National Park encompasses high mountains within Wales, including Snowdon, which stands at 1,086 meters and is the highest peak in Wales, surrounded by several other peaks over 800 meters high.
In short, it is a vast mountainous area with extensive terrain. After looking at it for a moment, Bai Yujing suggested, “How about we take Bethany on a trip together?”
“Eh?” Emma didn’t understand why they suddenly shifted to talking about travel.
Bai Yujing pointed to the location of Wales on the map: “Let’s go here! The three of us can go see it together! Whether or not it's what we’re looking for, we’ll know after we check it out!”
Emma immediately said, "But in my school..."
"You can take a leave; Bethany will definitely be looking forward to it!" Bai Yujing leaned in and looked into Emma's eyes.
"Alright, I'll listen to you!"
After telling Bethany about the upcoming trip, the little girl happily ran around the house. Bai Yujing was worried she might run too much and caught her in her arms, while Bethany giggled uncontrollably.
"Are we going to find the big kitty?" Bethany asked.
Bai Yujing thought for a moment, "Hmm! It's possible we might see it again, but it depends on whether Angel Cat wants to meet you!"
"It will definitely happen! I want to dress up beautifully for it!" Bethany said confidently. Due to her health issues, Bethany rarely went far from home. During physical education classes at school, she usually just watched from the sidelines. So when she heard that Bai Yujing and Emma were taking her out to play, she became very excited!
Bai Yujing had also explored London over the past few days and was familiar with the surrounding scenery. She visited Buckingham Palace, the London Eye, and London Bridge. For Bai Yujing, seeing Western-style palaces like Buckingham Palace was not as shocking anymore; instead, the gigantic London Eye and the charming Tower Bridge amazed her more.
However, what Bai Yujing found disappointing was that English food was somewhat lacking; there were only a few repetitive options. Trying something new was fine occasionally, but eating the same thing every day was hard for her to bear. So recently, Bai Yujing had been buying groceries to cook at home and even bought some kitchenware for making Chinese dishes at the supermarket.
"When are we leaving?" Bethany asked while hanging onto Bai Yujing's hand as she was carried upstairs.
Bai Yujing thought for a moment, "Let's leave the day after tomorrow in the morning. Your sister needs to take a leave, and we need to prepare for the trip! Don't you need to prepare anything?"
"Yes, I have a lot of things to prepare! I want to bring Dudu!" Bethany's eyes sparkled as she spotted Dudu sleeping on a blanket in the corner of the stairs. Dudu had just rolled over, exposing its chubby belly and scratching it a couple of times.
"Okay! But you need to communicate with Dudu; it has to be willing to go with you!"
"I have delicious food; Dudu will definitely want to follow me!"
It seems that even this trick of using food to entice others is well-known among Lolis!

In the bedroom, Burton MacLeod lay on the bed, appearing to be in poor spirits. He was older now, and the once fierce aura he had, akin to that of a tiger, had diminished, losing its intimidating presence.
Bivis knocked on the door, and Burton MacLeod immediately said, "Come in, Bivis!"
Bivis adjusted his glasses and gently pushed the door open as he entered. "Boss, I have some matters to report to you!"
Burton raised his hand, prompting Bivis to continue. "Bai Yujing returned to London a couple of days ago, and according to our information, they have received news about the second gold plate, the Healing Spring Gold Plate!"
"Moreover, recently there has been a lot of information about Bai Yujing that has caused quite a stir worldwide. He has discovered two treasures in succession, located in gx in China and Fukui Prefecture in Neon. Based on our intelligence, he is not someone easy to deal with!"
Burton MacLeod nodded. "Talented individuals can shine wherever they are."
Understanding McLeod's meaning, Bivis asked, "Should we make contact with them now?"
"Let's wait a bit longer! No rush... cough cough... cough cough!" Before Burton MacLeod could finish his sentence, he suddenly began coughing uncontrollably. Bivis immediately shouted outside, and two doctors rushed in.
Once things settled down, Burton MacLeod said, "If they find the Healing Spring Gold Plate, I will personally go speak with him!"
Although he said there was no rush, Burton MacLeod's physical condition, along with his eager gaze and rapid speech, revealed his true thoughts!
