I was still thinking about Xu Feng's daughter.
I always feel that recent events can be connected.
It's just missing a node for connecting the dots.
"Thank you so much, little sister!"
After my hair turned black, I felt much more energetic and had the same vitality as before.
His voice became louder and clearer.
When I thanked the woman, she was overjoyed.
"Old brother, tell me the truth, what exactly is the purpose of your visit to Haopo Village this time?"
The older woman is now holding my hand, practically asking me to go square dancing with her.
There's no way around it, my looks only get better with age, and I bet the older ladies are already captivated by my constant calls of "young lady."
I didn't hide anything from the older woman, but simply described what had happened.
It's about the Fox Village incident and the Eagle Owl tattoo incident.
The older woman listened with bated breath, and at the crucial parts, she even broke out in a cold sweat for me.
I was genuinely amazed that this middle-aged woman and Lao Dao could be a couple.
Old Dao would wet himself when he heard something scary, while the older woman would empathize deeply when she heard something thrilling.
"Good brother, so you're also going to look for my old man while you're at it?"
The older woman already knows from me that one of my goals is to meet Zhou the tailor.
I nodded and admitted it directly: "Yes, I was asked by my good friend to find Zhou the tailor, but I didn't expect him to be the girl's man!"
I still feel that there are some coincidences in the world.
Just as they found the right path, they ran into Zhou the tailor's wife and found many useful things in her house.
For example, the eagle owl mural, or this fragment of an eagle owl statue.
Everything went so smoothly, so smoothly that I felt like there was an invisible hand pushing me forward.
This feeling is just like the various things that happened when I first arrived at the funeral home.
"What's wrong, brother? What are you thinking about?"
The older woman noticed I was in a daze, so she placed her hand next to my eyes and waved it repeatedly, which brought me back to my senses.
"It's nothing, it's just that my friend gave me some instructions before I left, and asked me to give him a brocade pouch!"
After I finished speaking, I took out the brocade pouch and showed it to the old lady.
"Hey, my old man has one of these brocade pouches too!"
When the older woman saw the brocade pouch in my hand, she couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
It seems the older woman didn't expect the thing in my hand to be so familiar.
"Wait, isn't your friend surnamed Liu?"
The older woman looked at me and quickly asked.
"yes!"
"Liu Sandao?"
"yes!"
Based on these two questions, I've roughly determined that Zhou the tailor and Liu the three-knife master are related as apprentices or something similar.
No wonder Liu Sandao had that expression when I told him I was going to Haopo Village.
"Come with me!"
The woman's expression turned very serious.
Seeing the woman like this, I became very nervous and quickly followed her.
The older woman led me to another small room, which looked like a study.
"Young lady, what's this?"
I stared in disbelief at the dazzling array of books in the room.
These collections are amazing.
It has almost everything.
“This is my old man’s room. He instructed me that if anyone comes looking for him with this brocade pouch and he’s not there, I should take that person to the study!”
As the woman spoke, she found an identical brocade pouch in the drawer.
The woman handed me the brocade pouch, and I compared it to the pouch; they were exactly the same.
Both the patterns and the materials are from the same person.
And it looks quite old.
"Alright, brother, take it. Although my father hasn't returned yet, this is what he instructed me to do."
The old lady stuffed both brocade pouches into my hands and told me to keep them safe.
"These books are all welcome, brother. Why don't you rest at my house tonight? If my husband hasn't returned by today, I'll take the brocade pouch and go find him tomorrow night!"
The older woman carried some of the books down for me, her tone a little sad as she spoke.
It felt a bit like he was making his final arrangements.
"Not coming back today?" The old lady's words gave me a bad feeling.
"Perhaps the old man foresaw something and went [to that place]. But it doesn't matter, what's meant to happen will happen."
The woman sighed softly, as if she had figured something out.
Some unpleasant thoughts immediately popped into my mind.
Could it be that Haopo Village also possesses something powerful, and Zhou the tailor is guarding it?
"Alright, don't think too much about it. Maybe the old man just had an itch to play cards."
Seeing how serious I was, the older woman suddenly switched back to her previous smiling demeanor.
"Alright, young lady, I'll stay here and take a good look at these books!"
I wasn't distracted. Even if something happened to Zhou the tailor, there's nothing I could do about it now.
The room is filled with books, far more comprehensive than those left to me by Liu Sandao and Yingniang.
"And this notebook, your friend probably doesn't have it. You should look at all of these!"
The older woman pointed to the notebook at the very top.
These are all things that require personal experience and understanding; if we can comprehend them, they can greatly help improve our strength.
Whether it's resolving the current predicament or settling scores with Wu Zhiguo, my current strength is insufficient.
