Chapter 116: The Mystery of Life, Playing Tiger Run (Part 1)
"Actually, I don't know where your grandparents are."
Jiang Fuyue: “?”
Han Yunru sighed softly, met the puzzled gazes of the siblings, and told them her story...
That year, Old Lady Jiang found her dying on the bank of the Huai River and took her home to take good care of her. Two days later, Han Yunru woke up, but she had forgotten everything and only knew her own name.
I went to the hospital for a check-up and the doctor said that the memory center was damaged due to lack of oxygen to the brain. I might recover quickly, or I might never remember it again.
I went to the police station to report the case, but the police replied that there was no case matching Han Yunru's physical characteristics in the city's missing persons registry within the past two weeks.
At this point, all clues were cut off and she became a wanderer with no past and no future.
After selling all the valuable things on her body, Han Yunru paid off the medical expenses and gave a certain amount of compensation as requested by Mrs. Jiang.
She rented a house with the remaining money and started looking for a job.
“…At that time, I thought, even though I have no memories of the past, I am still alive, so I must live well.” When talking about the past, the woman always had a faint and gentle smile on her face.
Like an elegant gardenia, it does not have the thorns of a rose, nor is it as lonely as a winter plum. It blooms softly and quietly on the branch, emitting fragrance slowly and steadily.
Jiang Xiaodi listened intently, his little red face showing seriousness.
Jiang Fuyue immediately grasped the key point: "So, you had something valuable on you at the time?"
"Yes. The dress had been soaked in water and couldn't be worn anymore, but it had 18 diamonds and 62 pearls on it. It sold for a total of 150,000."
"So many?" Jiang Fuyue raised her eyebrows.
"The diamonds are sourced from southern F Continent. They're hard and have a natural light pink color. The pearls are from giant clams in North Bay, and each one is about the size of a thumbnail. If I hadn't been in such a hurry to sell them, and the other party hadn't pushed the price down, I could have gotten more."
Jiang Fuyue's eyes darkened slightly: "Did the buyer tell you all this?"
Han Yunru shook her head: "No. I don't know why these things appeared in my mind. Since you asked, I took them out and used them."
"It seems that your previous family was not ordinary."
In fact, this can be seen from Han Yunru's words and deeds. If it were not for the good upbringing engraved in her bones since childhood, it would not be reflected in her every move after she lost her memory.
"No matter what kind of family I was born into before, having you now is enough."
Jiang Fuyue was warmed by the love and satisfaction in the woman's eyes. Could she really not remember anything at all?
not necessarily.
She just made a choice between the "past" and the "present".
…
At night, Jiang Chenxing was broadcasting live in the bedroom, and Jiang Fuyue went to the living room with the computer.
Han Yunru, who had just returned from closing the shop, made a cup of milk and placed it in front of her: "Take a break. Overusing your eyes can easily cause fatigue."
"Thank you, Mom."
Han Yunru watched her finish the milk before taking the cup.
"Mom, can I ask you something?"
"Sure, what is it?"
Jiang Fuyue sat up straight: "Why did grandma save you back then?"
The woman was stunned: "Why do you ask?"
"That's not like something she would do."
Han Yunru was a little surprised, but also a little amused: "You...you are not very old, but you are quite caring."
"So why?"
Han Yunru was silent for a long time, and finally said: "...money can move people's hearts."
Jiang Fuyue didn't find it strange at all.
Because in the original owner's memory, Old Mrs. Jiang was never a helpful person.
…
After staying at home for two days, Jiang Fuyue received a call from Hu Ben as expected.
Because there are only three days left before the one-month appointment they had made.
Regardless of whether he could find a bar that met those three criteria, he should have called to let them know.
"Hello."
"Miss, we found it! Can we meet?"
Jiang Fuyue raised an eyebrow, a little surprised: "Tomorrow morning at ten o'clock, Xinhua Tea House."
…
The next day, Hu Ben brought Xiao Liu to the teahouse. As soon as they entered, they were led to a private room by the waiter.
Jiang Fuyue was already sitting in front of the tea table, waiting quietly.
"Miss." Hu Ben lowered his eyes and half-bowed.
Xiaoliu followed suit, also with a look of awe on his face.
"Sit down." Jiang Fuyue nodded slightly.
As the two of them sat down, Jiang Fuyue had already poured tea and pushed it in front of them.
Hu Ben picked up the teacup, tilted his head back and took a big sip.
Tsk, it’s cold, just right.
Seeing this, Xiaoliu didn't hesitate any longer. God knew how thirsty he was.
"Tell me, what did you find?"
Hu Ben and Xiao Liu looked at each other, and the latter took out a stack of photos from his pocket and spread them out on the table.
Hu Ben pointed at one of them casually: "Blue sign, golden gate."
Then the second one: "There are seven money trees at the entrance, arranged three on the left and four on the right."
The third picture: "The bar is not facing the main entrance, the cash register is protected from water, there are two side doors for emergency exits, and a back door connected to the fire escape."
"Then there are the built-in seats, which are exactly forty-nine, no more, no less. There are eighty-one lights in the hall, and each box has a peace knot hanging on it and a Bagua mirror hanging below it."
Hu Ben gathered all the photos together and said, "All three conditions are met."
The next second, he suddenly frowned: "It's just a little bit strange."
Jiang Fuyue: "Which point?"
“This is a restaurant, not a bar.”
Hu Ben had found this place a week ago and compared the three conditions over and over again, and they matched perfectly.
Not to mention other things, just the lights in the hall, he and Xiaoliu counted them no less than twenty times.
Not one more, not one less, exactly eighty-one!
But this is indeed a restaurant, not a bar as Jiang Fuyue said.
Hu Ben was confused.
Finally I decided to ask her in person.
After listening to this, Jiang Fuyue did not immediately express his opinion, but instead asked, "What do you think?"
"I asked my great aunt's apprentice, she's also a 'flower lady.' The golden door is to attract wealth and ward off evil spirits. The back door is for 'draining water,' and the money tree gathers dragon energy, thus making money. If it's just these things, whether it's a bar or a restaurant, it can be arranged like this. But—"
Hu Ben raised his head sharply, meeting Jiang Fuyue's eyes. "Bars are a business that makes a lot of money by selling things on the side, so most of the ornaments they display are Pixiu, and they prefer them with their claws exposed. The main function of the Bagua mirror is to ward off evil spirits and protect against bad people, so it's more commonly used in legitimate businesses, like restaurants and amusement parks."
Jiang Fuyue smiled: "So? What do you want to say?"
"You didn't ask me to find a bar at all, did you?"
Pah pah pah——
She applauded: "Smart."
Hu Ben's cheeks tightened: "Why did you lie to me?"
When Jiang Fuyue mentioned bar, he had no doubt at all and started frantically looking for bars all over the city.
Who would have thought that this major premise was wrong when it was given?
He and Xiaoliu foolishly turned all the bars in the city upside down. Later, he thought of asking and found out that he had been fooled.
That’s right, in Hu Ben’s opinion, he was fooled by Jiang Fuyue.
He won't give up until he gets the answer today!
"Why?"
Each word is pronounced with emphasis.
Sister Yue is a first-rate fighter, and she is also a first-rate teaser~
