"Why can't we ask him where the gold hairpin is?" Dongfang Mian couldn't help but ask after the group had retrieved over a hundred gold hairpins to no avail.
Aju shook her head and said, "He won't say it. He only ever says that one sentence."
Then Aju jumped onto the table and said to the man, "Hello, I'm Aju."
"If you ask where it comes from, find the golden hairpin to guide you," the man said, taking a sip of wine.
"See?" Aju said helplessly.
Upon seeing this, Dongfang Mian stepped forward and asked, "Where is the gold hairpin?"
"If you ask where the golden hairpin is, look for it under the peach blossoms for ten miles," the man said, shaking his cup.
"So how do you know he won't tell you if you don't ask?" Dongfang Mian was speechless.
Ah... this... Ah Ju gave an awkward chuckle.
To avoid taking any more detours, the group asked the man many more questions, and only after confirming that he could only answer these two sentences did they begin to head out of the city in search of peach trees.
The peach tree was found quickly, but the man was not exaggerating at all. It was indeed a ten-mile stretch of peach trees, and finding the golden hairpin among these dense peach trees was like finding a needle in a haystack.
How are we supposed to find this...? The group looked at each other in bewilderment.
Suddenly, Ahua shouted, "I saw it!"
Then he jumped out of Dongfang Mian's arms and went straight to a peach tree. Under the tree, a golden hairpin was lying quietly.
"My God, Ah Hua, you're amazing! How did you see that from so far away?" Dongfang Mian exclaimed in surprise.
"It's Ah Hua, you have such good eyesight," Ah Ju couldn't help but exclaim.
"Mom, I didn't see it, oh no, I did see it, but I didn't see it directly... Waaah~ I can't explain it," Ahua couldn't think of the right words to express herself, and she pouted and cried in grievance.
"Don't cry, Ahua, tell me slowly, don't rush, Mom will help you," Dongfang Mian quickly coaxed. "You said you didn't see it directly?"
"Yes, yes," Ahua nodded, thought for a moment and said, "I was also very anxious just now, and then a picture suddenly appeared in my mind. I saw that we found the gold hairpin under this peach tree, and when I ran over, it was indeed here. That's how it is."
"My God~ Ah Hua, are you foreseeing the future?" Dongfang Mian was extremely shocked. Could this be the true power of the Silver Moon Divine Tiger?
"Ahua, try again and see if you can see what happened next?" Aju asked hurriedly.
Ahua closed her eyes and waited for a while, but nothing appeared. She opened her eyes and shook her head: "I didn't see anything."
"It's okay, you've done a great job. You're the biggest hero in saving the baby this time," Dongfang Mian said with a smile.
"Didn't you say it was me..." Ah Ju muttered to himself, but no one paid him any attention.
Several people handed the gold hairpin to the man in the tavern. The man looked at the hairpin and fell into deep thought. After a long while, he sighed, "Alas, the flowers have fallen..."
As the man finished his drink, the surroundings changed, and they reappeared in the dark Shi family ancestral tomb.
"Hurry, continue!" Dongfang Mian didn't know how much time they had spent in the illusion, so she rushed forward.
Fortunately, the next few walls they encountered were obstacles in their path. They simply broke them open and squeezed through. But soon, they were stopped by a narrow stream.
This stream is very, very long; it's unclear where it comes from or where it's going.
Just as Aju was about to wade across, Dongfang Mian pulled her back by her tail, saying, "Be careful, it's poisonous."
