Chapter 477: Changshou Village, a Poor and Vicious Place
"Oh..." Zhang Sanmao sighed, and his appetite was gone. His face was long and a serious atmosphere spread between the two of them.
"Not bad." Zhang Sanmao gritted his teeth and continued, "I met the boss last week. He came mainly to care about you. I told him about the last time Qin Xiaoyi found someone to bail you out. I couldn't hide it, so I had to tell the truth.
I also mentioned the bracelet you picked up. He took a look at it at the time, but I could see that he was surprised.
They said that this bracelet has a long history, so they asked me to return it to you so you can keep it. Of course, I don’t know why.”
Ye Xiaomei ate the hot pot calmly, but her hand holding the chopsticks began to tremble imperceptibly. "Ma Qijun, ah Ma Qijun, how many things have you hidden from me?"
She suppressed the grievance in her heart: "What's so special about this bracelet?"
Zhang Sanmao observed his sister-in-law's expression and saw that she was calm and did not continue to embarrass him:
"The boss said that the red blood threads here are special. Later, I also looked up the red blood threads that appeared in jade."
Ye Xiaomei did not interrupt him.
Zhang Sanmao continued, "This is a type of blood jade, but blood jade can be roughly divided into three types. Those sold at the antique market stalls are basically fakes with human intervention. The jade is placed in the stomach of a living creature, and after years, it will be soaked in blood, and the price will increase many times.
Another type is underground objects, which are ancient burial objects. Day after day and year after year, they will absorb some of the blood from the corpse and turn into an ancient red color. Basically, no one will take these unearthed objects with them, they will only be collected, after all, they are the stuff of the dead. "
Ye Xiaomei then interrupted and said, "It seems that this bracelet belongs to the third type."
Zhang Sanmao nodded: "Yes, this kind of bracelet absorbs spiritual energy instead of blood, and is nourished from within. It is hard to come by, but it is priceless. Basically, a jade bracelet like this carries the spiritual energy of at least several generations of a family, so it is more appropriate to say that it is inherited from ancestors."
Ye Xiaomei nodded: "What does Ma Qijun mean by asking you to return this table bracelet to me? This is not something passed down from my ancestors."
Zhang Sanmao paused and said, "I really don't know about this."
Ye Xiaomei looked carefully at the jade bracelet on her wrist. It was really strange that such a valuable item had not been found by its owner.
When the meal was almost finished, Ye Xiaomei added:
"If you see Ma Qijun again, you'd better help convey my message. If he doesn't come to see me in person, I won't say a word about Qin Xiaoyi."
Zhang Sanmao seemed a little at a loss: "Sister-in-law, why are you doing this? The boss is on a mission and must be forced to not show up for some things. And my position is so small that being able to help the boss run errands is already a great trust in me. Aren't you making things difficult for me?"
Ye Xiaomei slammed the table and stood up, scaring Zhang Sanmao so much that his mouth opened wide.
"You are in trouble, but I am not? My own husband is missing, and he didn't even show his face. What does this mean? I still have something to ask him."
After saying that, Ye Xiaomei stood up and left.
It was already dark when we left the hot pot restaurant. Perhaps because of the warmer weather, there were several times more people walking on the street than before.
"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, please get in the car, I'll take you home." Zhang Sanmao chased after her with the car keys.
Ye Xiaomei suddenly said to Zhang Sanmao word by word: "Okay, tell him that I will definitely go to Changshou Village."
After saying that, Ye Xiaomei hailed a taxi and disappeared without even looking back.
Zhang Sanmao's pupils shrank and he raised his hand and slapped himself in the face.
This matter has really made it difficult for him.
The eldest brother just didn't want her to get involved in this matter, and what his sister-in-law said was like a depth bomb.
At this moment, Ye Xiaomei in the car was watching Zhang Sanmao's reaction in the rearview mirror. Sure enough, her guess was right.
Ma Qijun must know everything about the three treasures of Changshou Village.
Right now, Ye Xiaomei can only wait for Ma Qijun to show up. Besides, who is he and where does he come from?
The next day, the exam was no problem for Ye Xiaomei.
Wang Liang was given many instructions before the exam, but with only ten minutes left before the exam started, he was still forced to take the lesson.
After finishing the advanced level test, Ye Xiaomei officially went on vacation and began to wait for the results.
The time to go to Changshou Village was suddenly moved forward by more than a month because of the skipped-level exam. The more this happened, the more itchy Ye Xiaomei felt.
Just as Ye Xiaomei left her soul in the rental house and had just finished communicating with Tang Bushi from Yuanyidao Temple, there was a knock on the door.
Ye Xiaomei opened the door and looked: "Why aren't you in class?"
Shang Zhen chuckled and said, "You seem to be relaxed now that you're on vacation. I knew you were going to Changshou Village ahead of time. Why don't you take me with you?"
Ye Xiaomei's scalp went numb: "How can you not attend class?"
Shang Zhen came into the room in a nonchalant manner and crossed his legs on the bed: "Anyway, I don't have to take the high school entrance exam for now, I can make up for it later."
Ye Xiaomei was speechless for a moment.
It's true that I promised to take her with me, but at that time I didn't know there was such a big conspiracy behind it, right?
Now that we know, bringing her as an outsider along would only increase the risk factor, wouldn't it?
"I'm going there for business, what are you going for?"
"Go ahead and play. I won't disturb you from doing your work." Shang Zhen was shaking his legs with a playful look on his face.
Ye Xiaomei pondered for a moment, scratching her head anxiously.
Unexpectedly, at this moment Ye Xiaomei's phone rang. She picked up the phone and it was Heizi calling.
This guy laughed so heartlessly: "Sister-in-law, long time no see, I came all the way here, sister-in-law, won't you treat me to hot pot?"
"..." Ye Xiaomei was confused. Just know how to eat?
But on second thought, it is impossible that this bastard Zhao Heihu was transferred here from the military area just to pick up girls.
The first thing Ye Xiaomei thought of was whether it was approved by Ma Qijun? Was he allowed to protect her?
Thinking of this, Ye Xiaomei agreed immediately.
On the way to the hot pot restaurant, Shang Zhen said something nice: "Xiao Mei, just take me with you. How boring it would be for me to be alone in school when you are not here."
Ye Xiaomei didn't say anything either.
Shang Zhen finally got angry: "You just don't keep your word. Humph, I originally thought that as long as you agree to take me with you, I will give you the treasures I collected recently."
"What treasure?" Ye Xiaomei asked.
In the private room, Zhao Heihu had not arrived yet. Ye Xiaomei and Shang Zhen stared at each other like devil for a few seconds.
Shang Zhen snorted coldly: "You'll get a bargain today, huh..."
She slammed a notebook on the table.
Ye Xiaomei opened it and took a look. The handwriting was crooked and not very good, but there were quite a few route maps on it.
Ye Xiaomei's eyes lit up: "Did you draw this?"
Shang Zhen raised his chin and said, "That's right. I started to prepare since you promised to take me with you. There are three ways to Changshou Village from here. If you start from the East Mountain of Chaocheng, it's about 1,200 miles by land. If you change to the water route from here, you can save a lot of time by going downstream.
However, there is only one canyon leading into Changshou Village, and it is really difficult for outsiders to find that entrance.”
Ye Xiaomei flipped through the pages as Shang Zhen explained.
People who see this picture are confused: "What does this cross mean?"
“It’s passable, but it’s blocked.”
"..." Ye Xiaomei was confused: "What does this circle mean?"
"It's passable, but you can't walk through it." Shang Zhen explained confidently.
Ye Xiaomei's forehead was full of black lines: "What do you mean by accessible but can't walk?"
"Hey, Xiaomei, you really asked the right question. Do you know why? This is the crystallization of my more than a month in the library. Changshou Village is surrounded by mountains. There is only one canyon entrance, but there are two other places that can also be accessed. However, there are several places here that are full of miasma forests."
Ye Xiaomei's pupils shrank: "Miasma?"
Ye Xiaomei had seen such places when she was reading books before. Basically, they were caused by some corrosive gases gathering in a convection state without dispersing. They were poisonous.
But what is the gas after corrosion?
Thinking of this, the hairs on Ye Xiaomei's back stood up.
