Chapter 176 Jade Button
As it gradually darkened, the action team completed their preparations and arrived at Qingfeng Town.
Ma Liu and two other team members will also arrive at Qingfeng Town directly from the provincial capital before dark to meet up with them.
Su Tong replaced Hu Ling and officially joined the team as "Sister Lan".
In order to provide medical support for Ma Liu and his team members, the higher-level organization sent another military doctor to join. In order not to attract attention, the group was divided into several groups and assembled before dark.
Ma Liu only said one sentence when he saw Su Tong:
"Although I don't want to see you again from the bottom of my heart, I still like you better than that stupid woman."
Su Tong just smiled faintly and replied:
"Sixth Master, we have a long way to go."
It was just a short time after the team had assembled and the later arrivals had just settled down when Jiang Pinglu came over with his uncle and said he wanted to see Su Tong.
Su Tong was very surprised. Less than a day after she left home, her uncle found her here. It couldn't be a trivial matter.
The old man heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Su Tong. He took out an object wrapped in red cloth from the pocket of his cotton-padded jacket and handed it to him, saying:
"Your grandma left this for you before she left. Take it!"
"My milk? Left it for me?"
Su Tong was a little surprised. Old Mrs. Wu didn't like him so much and even left something for him?
The old man nodded affirmatively and said:
"Your grandma took out this thing before she died. The elders and the younger generations of the Wu family were all staring at it! This must be a good thing that she took out before she left. I wonder who she is going to leave it to? But your grandma just stared at the crowd. She looked at it several times and refused to close her eyes. Da Jun came forward and asked her if she wanted to see Jiafu, but she didn't respond. Then she stared at me...
I was afraid that she would not be able to fulfill her wish and would not be able to swallow this anger, so I went up to her and asked her who else she wanted to see. She was already speechless at that time and just stuffed this thing into my hand...
I opened it and took a look, and I knew it was for you! She gave it to me before she died, and she didn’t even close her eyes!"
"You...you'll know if you open it and take a look."
The old man extended his hand forward again.
Su Tong didn’t quite understand. The person that Old Mrs. Wu wanted to see in the end was not Wu Jiafu, but her?
She felt that it was very likely that the old man had misunderstood what Old Lady Wu meant...
But she still reached out and took the thing.
When she opened it, she was stunned.
Qin Yi and Lin Li stood aside and saw a small ring-shaped jade buckle pendant lying on the red cloth in Su Tong's hand. It was green and looked like jadeite, but they didn't know whether it was real or fake.
If it is real, it should be worth a lot of money.
"Girl, there are words on it..."
The old man was afraid that Su Tong didn't notice it, so he reminded him.
Su Tong's face turned terribly pale. She slowly raised the pendant in her hand...
Qin Yi noticed that her hands were trembling slightly, and felt that Su Tong's reaction was a little beyond his expectations.
Facing the dim light, the jade button exudes a warm color, as if there is green flowing. On one side of the jade button, there is a small word engraved: Tong.
The moment he saw the word clearly, Su Tong felt like he was struck by lightning, and even his whole body shook.
"Girl! Are you okay?"
Even the old man noticed that something was wrong with Su Tong. He looked at the people around him with some concern, and then explained:
"I, I saw Tongya's name engraved on it, and I was worried that it might be related to her life experience. This thing looks worth a lot of money, and I was afraid... I was afraid that I couldn't keep it in my hands, so I hurriedly sent it to me."
It is no longer a secret in Yunshan Village that Wu Jiada is not Wang Guilan's biological daughter.
Before leaving, the old lady of the Wu family stuffed some good things into the hands of the old uncle, but did not say a word... The descendants of the Wu family were very angry and had different opinions. They also felt that the old uncle had misunderstood. Even if he did not leave it to his most beloved grandson during his lifetime, he would not leave it to a girl, who was not even his biological child.
The pendant was finally delivered to Tongya by the old man.
The word "Tong" engraved on the pendant cannot be faked.
Although the eldest daughter of the Wu family is not a descendant of the old Wu family, she is a filial girl. She tried to find ways to cure old lady Wu's illness, and later she did not give up even when she was treated badly by the old lady. All the members of the Wu family saw it, and no one could say a word against it.
If it weren't for Tongya, Dajun's wife wouldn't have treated the half-crazy old woman so well, so that Old Mrs. Wu could at least have a good ending.
Besides, the pendant has Tongya's name engraved on it, maybe Tongya is looking for her parents because of this. Tongya has been a daughter of the Wu family for 18 years, working hard and doing nothing, and has been labeled as a "disaster star" for so many years. She has had enough of the grievances.
Regardless of whether the old uncle misunderstood Old Lady Wu's intention, she finally took this thing out. This is the last clue and thought about Tong Ya's life experience, how could she be deprived of it again.
When the old man proposed to return the pendant to Tongya, Li Cuixiang, who was the most qualified to compete for it this time, remained silent.
After all, in addition to Wu Jiafu, her family also has Old Lady Wu's grandson. Since her own relatives didn't say anything, the other cousins were too embarrassed to argue about it.
Although everyone has selfish desires, they also have a conscience.
This pendant...
Let’s just consider it as the last bit of kindness that Old Lady Wu and the Wu family give back to Tong Ya.
The old uncle struck while the iron was hot and sent it over hurriedly, fearing that the nephews and nieces of the Wu family would regret it after a while.
I specifically called Lao Jiang to come along, and also wanted him to give a testimony to prove that the thing had been given to Tong Ya, and they would not be able to do anything with this object in the future.
Obviously, this girl knows this object.
Although her reaction was a bit exaggerated, as if she was shocked.
But it’s good to return the property to its original owner.
The old man breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the girl would need some time to recover. He had also been delayed in the town for most of the day. So he said goodbye and left in a hurry with Jiang Pinglu.
Qin Yi had known Su Tong for so long, but he had never seen her with such an expression. She looked not only shocked, but also a little flustered and helpless.
"Su Tong, this pendant... is it yours?" Qin Yi asked in a low voice.
After a while, Su Tong finally came to his senses, looked at Qin Yi, and nodded.
This pendant is indeed hers!
The problem is…
This pendant belongs to her, Su Tong, and belongs to the Su Tong of the 21st century.
Her grandfather had worn this pendant on her since she was one month old, and it accompanied her as she grew up.
Not only did she have one, her brother also had an identical one, except that it had the word "Yu" (elm) engraved on it.
Later, her brother disappeared on the battlefield, and she applied to go to the front line. After completing a rescue mission, she discovered that the pendant was lost, and it was never found until she died and traveled through time.
She was sure that the pendant was hers. The familiar touch, color and texture made her absolutely certain that the pendant was hers!
It's not similar, it's not like, it's just the one she wore every day in her previous life.
But how did this pendant end up in this time and space? And ended up in the hands of Old Lady Wu?!
She always thought that she was just a soul from the 21st century, who survived for Wu Tong by chance.
She has always regarded herself as a bystander, and is sober and calm when facing the people and things around her. She tries hard to adapt to Wu Tong's identity. On the one hand, she wants to live a good life on her behalf, and on the other hand, she is also trying to help Wu Tong fulfill her wish so that she can leave without regrets and thank her for the opportunity to be reborn.
And at this moment, she was confused.
Same name, same look.
Now, she actually saw a pendant that shouldn't belong to this world.
Wu Tong and her...
Maybe they are not two completely unrelated people.
She has to look at this world again.
