Chapter 893: Centennial Tree
However, things did not go as smoothly as Ye Wanxi and the others had imagined. After hearing Ye Wanxi's words, the head of the Yang family gradually became dazed.
"My baby, our baby..."
Upon seeing this, Zhao Yun'er and the others couldn't help but feel a pang of anxiety.
"No way, even he doesn't know where our baby is? How are we supposed to find him?"
"Yeah, yeah, I'm terrible at finding things, and now Brother Nie is like this again..."
Seeing the two people genuinely worried, Li Guangjun's lips twitched slightly, and he sighed helplessly: "Maybe they just have too many treasures at home and have forgotten for a moment? It's like some rich people who like to buy houses and cars. In the end, they might even forget where they bought the house or which limited edition car they bought."
Zhao Yun'er and Gu Shaoling: "..." Although what you said makes a lot of sense, it doesn't stop them from feeling envious. This analogy is absolutely brilliant, they're so jealous!
Ye Wanxi could tell that the Yang family ancestor who remained here was merely a wisp of a soul with lingering obsessions. His soul was unstable, and after so many years, he must have forgotten many things.
But since he stayed here because of his obsession, even if he forgets about the things, this obsession will still lead him to find the place and the things by instinct, just like now.
After muttering to himself for a moment, the head of the Yang family suddenly turned around and swayed as he walked towards the backyard.
"Miss Ye, this..." The director was a little confused when he saw the head of the Yang family suddenly turn around and leave. He stared at his departing figure, unable to make up his mind.
"Follow him." With that, Feng Tianyu took Ye Wanxi and left.
The director gritted his teeth and said to the planner and a few staff members, "Let's follow them."
That being said, not many staff members were willing to go with the director, and among them, only two cameramen were particularly professional, trembling as they carried their cameras and followed behind the director.
Seeing this, Li Guangjun hesitated and turned to ask Zhao Yun'er and the other person for their opinions: "Do you want to go with them or stay here?"
Gu Shaoling had completely calmed down by now, pursed her lips and said, "Wherever Brother Nie goes, I will go."
“I’m going too. We’re already here, and I’m incredibly curious about the Yang family’s treasure. If we just stay here and wait, all the fright we had tonight will have been for nothing. Besides, Miss Ye and President Feng are here; even if the sky falls, there are taller people to hold it up. I believe that as long as Miss Ye and they’re there, we’ll be absolutely safe. But…”
As she spoke, Zhao Yun'er glanced around furtively, still feeling lingering fear. "If we stay here, who knows if there are any wandering ghosts in the courtyard? If we encounter something like what happened to the director just now, and Miss Ye isn't here, there's no one who can save us."
Gu Shaoling and the others thought it made sense and nodded. They even added to Lin Yuxiu, "Why don't you come with us too? We can look out for each other."
Lin Yuxiu was flattered and overwhelmed; how could she possibly disagree?
Lian Lifan, the only one left out, initially shared the same mindset as the staff who stayed behind, but after hearing Zhao Yun'er's words, he felt a pang of unease and began to waver.
Seeing that everyone was inviting Lin Yuxiu to come along, Lian Lifan was thinking that they could also invite him to come along, so that he would have a way to save face.
After they finished discussing it, they quickly formed a group and left, completely ignoring him.
"..." I'm so angry, but I'm still afraid of dying.
Lian Lifan was so angry he almost lost his temper, but thinking that staying might lead to being haunted by ghosts, he ultimately "endured the humiliation" and followed the others to the backyard.
The head of the Yang family did not go to any particularly remote place, but instead staggered into the courtyard of the main house of the Yang family.
"How did we end up here? Could it be that the Yang family's treasure is in this room?" The director came from behind and whispered behind Ye Wanxi and the other person.
"Not inside the house."
"If he's not inside, then how come..." The director then realized that the head of the Yang family had not gone inside, but was standing in the courtyard, staring blankly ahead, lost in thought.
After a while, the head of the Yang family took a few more steps forward and stood in front of a rather lush old tree in the courtyard.
"What's wrong with him?" This was the scene Zhao Yun'er and the others saw when they arrived.
The head of the Yang family, disguised as Nie Yuyang, stood under a lush tree, while Ye Wanxi and the others stood not far away, quietly watching him.
"This is...an oak tree?"
Before this, Li Guangjun and his group had only been to Lin Yuxiu's courtyard and knew that there were two small fruit trees in her courtyard, but they did not expect that Nie Yuyang's courtyard also had them.
Judging from the color and shape of this tree, it has probably been planted for many years.
"The oak, like the word 'thinking,' is a tree that symbolizes longing and remembrance."
Upon hearing her senior brother mention this, Ye Wanxi suddenly thought of the fates of the fourth branch of the Yang family, and a flash of inspiration struck her.
"Could this tree have been planted by Mr. Yang himself a hundred years ago?"
"hiss……"
Zhao Yun'er and the others gasped. If this planted by Mr. Yang was over a hundred years old, wouldn't it be?
Feng Tianyu's eyes flickered slightly, and he said in a deep voice, "There might be something under the tree."
"Could it be their family's treasure? Should we dig it up now?" Zhao Yun'er asked timidly, glancing in the direction of the Yang family head. "Will he be angry?"
Ye Wanxi shook her head: "Since he brought us here at this time, he probably wants us to help him dig out the thing. But we have to promise that after we dig it out, we will hand it over to his descendants."
“Of course,” the director quickly stated. “This item originally belonged to the Yang family, so it should naturally be handed over to the descendants of the Yang family. We still have that much integrity.”
Zhao Yun'er and the others chimed in in agreement: "We're just curious about what kind of treasure this is; we absolutely have no intention of taking it for ourselves. What's ours is ours, and to reach for what isn't ours is shameless, isn't it?"
"In that case, let's dig."
As soon as Ye Wanxi finished speaking, everyone was dumbfounded.
We definitely have to dig, but the ground looks really hard; we can't just dig with our bare hands, can we?
"Wait a minute, I'll have someone get some shovels." The director reacted quickly and led his men to find the tools.
During this time, Ye Wanxi and her companion also received a phone call from Xiao Jihui.
It turned out that after their live stream was interrupted, some viewers in the live stream room were so worried about their situation that they called the police.
Some people who disliked their shows also reported their live stream.
Although Xiao Jihui did not send anyone to monitor Ye Wanxi and her companion, he was still very concerned about their itinerary and their situation outside.
