Chapter 54: Out of the Mountain

Su Yan glanced at Pei's father. Pei's father was short in stature, with a pair of gloomy triangular eyes, thick lips, and a narrow forehead. None of them were attractive. When combined together, he looked very attractive.

"Father-in-law, what are you doing here this time?"

Father Pei asked with a smile. He still knew something about Mr. Wen and would not go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything.

Mr. Wen sighed, "To be honest with my father-in-law, we really have something to ask for this time. He is very ill in Yucheng today!"

"Oh?" Father Pei picked up the tea at hand and asked casually, "Can I ask for a doctor?"

"Please! But I can't even see it! Not only that, the disease is getting worse!"

"Really? Do you want me to go take a look?"

Father Pei still said slowly, with the expression on his face unchanged.

Pei Chuxue was the one who treated Wen Yucheng's illness a few years ago. Later, Pei Chuxue died unexpectedly. The Wen family also visited Father Pei several times, so Father Pei only thought that Mr. Wen came this time to invite him to come out again.

"Oh, my father-in-law, I do mean that." Mr. Wen hesitated for a moment and looked at him, "I just don't know if my father-in-law has time."

Father Pei put down the cup in his hand, "Everything in the valley has been very busy during this period, and if you invite me, I certainly can't let your trip go in vain, not to mention that Yucheng also calls me grandpa."

He stood up and said, "Just wait for me for half an hour. I'll pack my things and let you go."

"Okay, okay!" Mr. Wen was excited, "With your words, I feel relieved!"

Father Pei nodded and was about to leave.

Wen Jiachao suddenly said: "Father-in-law, can I take back the relics that Chu Xue left in the house? I did it in a hurry and didn't leave anything behind."

Hearing Pei Chuxue's name, Pei's father visibly froze, and then whispered: "If you want, go get it."

He waved his hand and walked towards his yard to pack his things.

Father Pei didn't know whether it was because of his trust in the Wen family or because the valley was just like this and no one was left. For a while, only Mr. Wen, Wen Jiachao and Su Yan, Wang Dachui, were left in the courtyard.

The four of them looked at each other and nodded slightly.

Before coming, they made a plan to ask Father Pei to see Wen Yucheng. Taking advantage of the gap, Su Yan and Wang Dachui went to find the puppets.

I thought it would take a lot of work, but who knew Father Pei was so relieved.

"Be careful." Su Yan held the Bagua Pan tightly in her hand and said in a very low voice: "This Pei Mansion is a little weird, so it's better to be careful."

Mr. Wen and Wang Dachui nodded.

Wen Jiachao was a little absent-minded. He just proposed to take Pei Chuxue's relics. One was to buy time for everyone and have a reason to find puppets in the valley. The other reason was because he really wanted to take Pei Chuxue's relics back.

"Come with me."

Wen Jiachao came to his senses and said softly.

Then he walked familiarly towards a courtyard in the valley.

Along the way, they met the servants in the valley from time to time. They all nodded lightly and said hello without asking anything. The four of them arrived at Pei Chuxue's room easily.

"Cough cough cough."

As soon as the door opened, a strong puff of dust hit my face.

Everyone coughed for a while, and the dust in the room dispersed to reveal its original appearance. Su Yan looked around the room.

It's a very ordinary women's boudoir. Because it hasn't been cleaned for a long time, some items are covered with dust.

Wen Jiachao walked to the dressing table, lightly swept the dust, and opened the drawer. There were a lot of jewelry in the drawer. The material of the jewelry was excellent, and the style is still popular today. It can be seen that the taste of the previous owner must be different.

vulgar.

Suddenly, he picked up a hosta and said, "I bought this from the biggest shop in Beijing when I returned to my hometown. It was also the first gift I gave her."

What Wen Jiachao said was very lonely. Looking at these dusty things in front of him, he suddenly didn't want to continue investigating.

If it wasn't Pei Chuxue who harmed Yucheng, it would be okay to say that. If it was really Pei Chuxue who harmed Yucheng, then what should he, as an uncle, do?

Compared to Wen Jiachao, Su Yan didn't care so much.

From the Wen family to the Pei family, including the time in between, the distance from twelve hours is already less than seven hours. We need to find the puppets quickly.

Su Yan searched the house but couldn't find it.

So she took out the Bagua tray and closed her eyes tightly. When she opened her eyes again, her gaze penetrated the room and she said, "The puppet is buried in a locust tree in the backyard!"

Then she walked straight out of the house, followed closely by Mr. Wen and Wang Dachui. Wen Jiachao was stunned for a moment, but finally followed.

The group of people passed through the house and walked another two feet to the back of the valley. There were many trees planted behind the valley, among which there were many locust trees.

Mr. Wen raised his head, looked at the towering locust tree, and couldn't help but ask: "Miss Su, which tree are you referring to?"

Su Yan held the Bagua plate and was guided by the hexagrams, walking straight towards the fourth locust tree on the edge.

Walking to the tree, Su Yan started digging without any hesitation. Wang Dachui on the side saw this and helped dig, just when the two of them were about to dig to the bottom.

"What are you doing here!"

Father Pei asked sternly with a gloomy expression.

"We are looking for something here." Wen Jiachao explained, "A servant accidentally dropped something, which is very important to us, so we came here to look for it."

Father Pei's face was still gloomy, and he walked up to them step by step, "Father-in-law, I don't know what you are looking for, but there are a lot of bad things in this yard. If you get hurt later, it will be bad."

As he said this, he planned to force several people out.

Just at this moment, Su Yan found it!

"I found it!" Su Yan said and pulled out the stuffed doll buried in the soil!

I saw that the puppet was buried in the soil, but there was no trace of mud, so you could clearly see the blood stains on the puppet. I don't know what kind of red ink was used to draw a big cross on the back of the puppet!

It’s exactly the same as the cross on Wen Yucheng’s back!

"You! It's really you!" Mr. Wen pointed at Father Pei with trembling hands, "Why! Why do you do such a thing! Even if it's because of Chuxue, what does that have to do with Yucheng! He is still so young,

And didn’t you say that he still calls you grandpa?”

In fact, he had no idea on the way here. On the one hand, he hoped that this matter was true, so that Wen Yucheng could be completely cured. At the same time, he hoped that it was false. Although Pei Chuxue died, the Pei family and the Wen family were still in-laws!

However, now that the evidence is in front of you, Mr. Wen has to believe it even if he doesn’t believe it!

Equally unbelievable was Wen Jiachao. He never thought that the puppets Su Yan mentioned really existed! And he actually found them in Pei's house!
