Chapter 269 What Went Wrong
In a small courtyard: "How did you do this?"
"Hurry up and pour me a glass of water, my throat is about to smoke."
The person who was asking the question saw how miserable he looked and quickly stood up and poured him a glass of water.
Seeing him gulp it down, he asked, "Do you want to drink more?"
"Another one."
After another glass of water, he asked, "Anything to eat?"
The man stood up and took out two pieces of egg cake from the cupboard and handed them over: "I went there before, but I couldn't find you. What's wrong with you? Have you gone to the mountains to be a savage?"
This image is really surprising.
After the man ate two pieces of egg cake, he said: "If it weren't for my good luck, I would have almost never been able to come back."
"What?"
Thinking of the beating I received that day, I still feel scared: "After you left that day, someone plotted against me."
Naturally, he didn't dare to tell anyone that he had betrayed his master. He bet that the man who beat him that day would not tell anyone. Judging from the fact that the man didn't intend to kill him, he probably just wanted to find out more.
Anyway, as long as I don't say anything, no one will know. Even if I see that person again, I may not recognize him. After all, it happened in the dark and windy night.
The man in the room stood up and poured him another glass of water and handed it to him: "What's going on?"
"Not long after you left that day, I was attacked by someone. While I was unconscious, the attacker not only robbed me of all my valuables, but also beat me up."
"Who is so bold and capable? Could it be that our affairs in Willow Village have been exposed?"
The man felt guilty: "Probably not. After all, the man stole the things and ran away. It was probably an accident."
"Then why haven't you come back these days?"
"I was in a coma the whole time and didn't wake up until the third day. I didn't have a penny on me and I didn't want to attract other people's attention, so I had to avoid people all the way. That's why I ended up in this state."
Seeing how miserable he was, I began to believe what he said a little more.
"What are the instructions?"
"I have already asked someone to do what you asked me to do. I am just waiting to see the results."

The next day at noon, Ding Youwen called as soon as the time came: "Hello, I'm looking for Ding Surong."
Then the operator called out, "Ding Surong is calling."
Like Ding Surong, there were three people waiting to answer the phone. When she heard her name being called, she hurried forward: "Hello, Dad, it's me, Surong."
"Have you found the place?"
"Yes, but I went there several times and didn't see anything."
She deliberately said "see", for fear that someone would hear it.
"Didn't I find the right place?"
"But it's too dangerous to go any further. I don't dare to go alone. Besides, you said before that it's not far away."
After thinking for a while, she lowered her voice again: "I didn't find the tree. The reason I said I didn't see it is because I confirmed with the people there, and it is indeed that place, but the tree is gone, so I called you."
When Ding Youwen heard this, a thought suddenly came to his mind: Could it be that the old woman was deliberately testing him?
That shouldn't have happened. She was really drunk that day. What went wrong?
He couldn't figure it out for a while: "I know about this. If you have time, you can go find him again. I will arrange my work here and try to make time to go over."
The parents chatted for a while, and then they heard Ding Surong say, "Dad, I'm going to move out to make things easier. Don't forget to send me some money."
