Chapter 784 Going to Find Someone
It's already Lunar New Year's Eve, these two should be back by now.
Shu Yu was stunned to find that it was Wang Changdong.
"Manager Wang?" She quickly stepped aside to let him in. "Why are you here? Did something happen?"
"It's nothing, oh, no, I need to talk to you about something. Here, take this."
Wang Changdong took the purse out of his sleeve and handed it to Shu Yu.
"What is this?" Shu Yu pinched it, feeling as if it were a piece of paper inside.
Could it be a banknote?
Hmm, that's possible. Could it be that Wang Changdong specially sent her money during the Chinese New Year to take care of her?
She had a beautiful dream, but it was clearly wishful thinking.
Wang Changdong took a sip of the hot water the old lady brought him, let out a comfortable sigh, and immediately said, "I don't know what's in here either. Not long ago, a Taoist nun came to Zhengdao Village to ask me about you. When she found out you weren't in the village, she asked me to give this to you."
Taoist nun??
Shu Yu's expression suddenly changed, and she became anxious in an instant. "The Taoist nun you're talking about, is she in her forties, with a kind and benevolent face, and a bamboo flute hanging from her waist?"
"Ah? Yes, yes, there was a bamboo flute. She said it was from an old friend of yours, Miss Lu. Is she really someone you know?"
Shu Yu was somewhat excited, "Yes, he is my master."
She really did come; they were right. She really did come to the southwest and indeed found Zhengdao Village.
But why did I have to come today? Now I've missed it.
Where is my master now?
Wang Changdong shook his head. "She's gone, and I don't know where she went."
He relayed to her what the abbot of Dongqing Temple had said.
Shu Yu frowned. What do you mean by "we don't have to force a meeting"? They've already come all this way. We're only a short distance apart. Isn't it easy to see each other? What's wrong with waiting a little longer?
Shu Yu went directly into the shed, untied the mule, and led it out the door.
“Grandma, my master should be near Heichang County. I’ll go look for her. If I find her, I’ll bring her back for New Year’s Eve dinner.”
The old lady naturally had no objections. The abbot of Dongqing Temple was Ayu's master and also their family's benefactor. Knowing that she was still traveling outside on New Year's Eve, it was only right to invite her back as a guest.
Therefore, she did not stop her, but simply handed a cloak and veil to Shuyu, saying, "Go ahead, be careful, and dress warmly."
Shu Yu took it and said to Wang Changdong, who was still sitting in the main room, "Brother Wang, thank you for telling me this news. I have to go find someone first. We can talk about it later."
As soon as she finished speaking, she disappeared.
Wang Changdong hadn't expected her to care so much about that Taoist nun. If he had known, he would have dragged her away no matter what.
Shu Yu left, and there was no point in him staying. After putting down his teacup, Wang Changdong took his leave.
The old lady was grateful that he had come all the way to deliver the message, so she gave him some candy and snacks to take home.
Wang Changdong quickly thanked him and left.
Shu Yu rode his mule and sped towards Zhengdao Village.
According to Wang Changdong, his master had left less than an hour ago. She didn't have a mount, so she couldn't have gone too far on foot; it would be somewhere near Zhengdao Village.
However, Shu Yu searched for a long time but couldn't find anyone. As the weather gradually darkened, she could only angrily ride her mule back to the city.
