Judging from the coordinates of Beijing, the compass was stumbling and pointing towards... Haicheng.
Su Ruyi has already told Su Tong that she will not go back to Haicheng this Spring Festival.
But now it seems that she may need to go back again before the Spring Festival?
This compass, which is always involuntarily enveloped and bound by her divine sense whenever she takes it out, must be guiding her... to find something.
The boxes unearthed from the Su family's ancestral home contained the merits accumulated by Su Ruyi in her first life.
The merits in the ring that Su Yin had consumed were from which lifetime?
Could it be that the place this compass points to also holds her merits?
Su Ruyi stood in the bare woods by the river for a while.
She made her decision—to search in the southeast.
Without hesitation, she greeted Jin Xingqiu and the others, then picked up her simple luggage and set off.
When I arrived at the train station, I specifically bought a ticket for the slowest train, which stops at almost every station.
Su Ruyi bought a train ticket directly to Haicheng, but before each stop, she would take out her compass to check it—the compass needle always pointed steadily to the southeast.
So, it must be Haicheng.
Su Ruyi got off the train at Haicheng Railway Station and arrived in the southeastern suburbs.
However, the compass still pointed southeast!
Su Ruyi didn't linger and took out the motorcycle from a secluded spot.
I got on the bike, tied the compass to the handlebars, and rode southeast until a mountain blocked my way.
The compass still pointed steadily to the southeast—the direction from which they needed to cross the mountain.
Su Ruyi put away her motorcycle and hiked up the mountain.
This is a small, continuous mountain range located in the heart of Zhejiang Province, my country, with an average elevation of about 1,500 meters.
Su Ruyi reached the mountaintop and took out her compass again, only to be surprised to find that the compass was pointing in a different direction!
At this moment, the pointer is pointing straight south!
As Su Ruyi released her divine sense, she began to descend the mountain to the due south.
Halfway up the mountain, she discovered a cave.
As she probed inside with her divine sense, she was immediately startled—there were two skeletons lying inside.
One was taller, the other was of normal size.
The taller one must be much taller than the average person.
Su Ruyi had a sudden thought.
She glanced at the compass again instinctively, only to see it pointing directly into the cave.
Could this cave be the place the compass wants Su Ruyi to come to?!
So Su Ruyi went in, putting her hands together and saying, "Excuse me."
After saying this, she began to search through the personal belongings of the two skeletons.
Suddenly, something caught her attention.
It was a very smooth key disc, held in the right hand of one of the skeletons.
There are no keys on the key wheel, only the holes drilled for attaching the keys.
Su Ruyi was all too familiar with this keychain; it was the very one that had gotten stuck in Xia Tianlu's throat, causing her death!
The stamped number on it was 0609. Su Ruyi had checked it several times with her divine sense because it was her birthday, so she remembered it.
Su Ruyi looked at the two skeletons again, still somewhat incredulous.
During the three days and three nights that Lian Xun detained her, he mentioned the Xia Dong case a few times, suggesting that Xia Dong might have been the one who killed Xia Tianlu.
During the autopsy of Xia Tianlu's body, it was discovered that the key disc that had choked her and caused her death was missing.
Therefore, the facts are clear—of the two skeletons before us, one must be Xia Dong's remains!
The last time Su Ruyi received news about Xia Dong was when Shen Guoliang told her that Xia Dong had defected to the border.
However, it was clear at this time that Xia Dong had already secretly sneaked back into the country.
Su Ruyi probably knew the purpose of his sneaking back, because she found a lot of medicine for treating skin diseases in his bag.
The two rotten pills that Su Ruyi fed to him and Han Weiguo must have taken effect several months ago.
The backpack on the back of the other skeleton also contained a lot of medicine for treating skin diseases, as well as medicine for relieving itching and pain!
Therefore, this exceptionally tall skeleton must be Han Weiguo.
These two must have been unable to bear the torment from Su Ruyi's two pills and were coming back to find her!
It's just a mystery why he died by some twist of fate in a cave deep in the mountains.
But why did the compass guide me to them?
Su Ruyi looked at the compass again and compared it with another normal compass that she had brought with her. She saw that the strange compass had returned to normal and the pointer was perfectly aligned with the straight line of due north!
The compass led her to this place!
Su Ruyi's divine sense continued to probe the parts of the two skeletons whose bodies were covered by clothes.
Suddenly, inside Xia Dong's skeleton, she discovered a small bronze mirror!
With a thought, Su Ruyi sent the bronze mirror into her spatial dimension, where it spun around before returning to her hand.
The dust on the bronze mirror remained inside the white bones, causing a cloud of dust to rise.
Su Ruyi looked at the bronze mirror in surprise, finding it increasingly familiar!
She flashed into the space and went straight to her boudoir.
On the dressing table in the boudoir, a bronze mirror stood quietly.
Su Ruyi compared the two bronze mirrors and found that they looked exactly the same, with all the carvings being identical!
However, the one found on Xia Dong was several sizes smaller.
Su Qiushi, who had somehow appeared behind Su Ruyi, exclaimed in surprise, "This is a mother-child mirror!"
Su Ruyi suddenly had a sudden realization—
Xia Dong took the child mirror from the mother-child mirror, which symbolizes that he kidnapped a child!
In Xia Dong's family, only Xia Tianxiu is an adopted daughter!
Therefore, Summer Show is more like an embodiment, symbolizing the pain of separation between mother and child!
Now that the mirror has returned to Su Ruyi's hands and reunited with its mother, will Xia Tianxiu also be reunited with her real mother?
But what does all of this have to do with Su Ruyi?
Su Ruyi's guess was basically correct; Xia Tianxiu's biological mother really did come looking for her!
After being warned by Fang Tao to sever ties with Su Yin, Xia Tianxiu was completely at a loss.
She has been living in the Qi family compound for several months now.
From the beginning, when Qi Zhao locked the door from the outside, he lived like a rat, afraid to turn on the lights, and sneaked around. Now, he leaves the door open whenever he's home, and he even dares to go out to buy groceries by himself. He's become a familiar face to all the neighbors.
Everyone already knew that she was Qi Jia's newly adopted granddaughter, but their impression of her wasn't very good!
Since she returned, not only did Old Master Qi Yuan die suddenly, but Qi Yaqin also died under mysterious circumstances!
The Qi family even dismissed their cook and nanny, leaving the entire courtyard empty.
There are even rumors circulating that this courtyard is haunted!
It's causing quite a commotion!
