When Wang Yanzhou found Tang Chen, his face was twisted. He sat on the ground leaning against the wall with his head in his hands, as if he was in great pain.
Wang Yanzhou put the lantern aside and hurried forward to pry Tang Chen's hand off: "What's wrong? Did you fall somewhere?"
Tang Chen frowned, tears streaming down his face as he touched his butt and said, "Probably not, it's just that my head hurts!"
Wang Yanzhou was stunned for a moment. He had a headache, so why was he covering his butt? Did he hit his brain and became stupid? That would be great: "Let me see!"
Tang Chen felt a little strange when he heard Wang Yanzhou's cheerful tone: "How is it? I feel like there is a big bulge. Also, why do you seem so happy? Did you frame me?"
At first, Wang Yanzhou was a little delighted with the little idea in his mind, but when he saw the bloodstains on the wall behind Tang Chen and the warmth on his hands, the smile on his face froze instantly: "... Let's go back first. I'll have someone come to check later."
After that, he was about to carry Tang Chen away. Tang Chen fell down before coming in, and was not willing to go back so easily. He struggled and slipped out of Wang Yanzhou's arms: "I finally found you, and you're going back just like that. Then I fell down for nothing!"
Wang Yanzhou lowered his voice and scolded, "Your head is bleeding, what are you still investigating?"
Tang Chen said it was just a bump that bled. It's not like she's never been bumped before. Back when she was still playing games and staying up all night with her all-powerful teammates, she went to the bathroom and got low blood pressure and banged her head against the door, and that caused bleeding. Besides, she fainted the last time, but this time she was still lucid, which showed that her iron head skills had reached perfection. "Why don't you just bandage it first? I don't feel that much pain now."
"How can you..."
Tang Chen knew Wang Yanzhou was going to nag again, so he quickly squatted on the ground, holding his head and crying, "Stop, I'm about to die from excessive bleeding. Can you nag me later?"
Wang Yanzhou couldn't persuade her. Seeing that the wound wasn't bleeding too much, he fumbled around and sprinkled some hemostatic powder on it and carefully bandaged it. After doing the emergency treatment, he helped her search the small secret room.
The inside of the secret room was no different from the outside. It was covered in thick dust, and things were scattered all over the floor. It looked like an ordinary room, and there was no place to put them.
Looking at the traces of rummaging in the secret room, Tang Chen felt a little discouraged: "It's just as messy in here as it is outside. Could someone have gotten in first?"
Wang Yanzhou shook his head. It looked like quite a few people had been here before, but he still felt like something was not right.
"It doesn't look like it. Let's take a look around first."
...A night passed, and Tang Chen and the others escaped Huayue Tower safely before the city gates opened. After returning to their temporary residence, Wang Yanzhou immediately called a doctor. Following the doctor's instructions, he briefly treated Tang Chen's wound, first brushing off the dust from her hair before carefully bandaging it.
After the two of them washed up and changed into clean clothes, they ate while studying the urn on the table.
Tang Chen drank his porridge while staring at the urn and said, "I have a question."
"explain."
Tang Chen continued, "Do you feel that the weight is a little off?"
Wang Yanzhou nodded slightly and said, "It seems a little lighter."
After Tang Chen finished the porridge in his bowl in one breath, he patted Wang Yanzhou on the shoulder and said, "I want to open it and take a look, but I'm scared. You do it!"
To show respect for the deceased, the two of them made many sincere preparations before carefully opening the urn. Just as Tang Chen said, there was indeed something wrong.
The contents of the urn were not ashes, but a few jars of pearls and a piece of letter paper. Tang Chen and Wang Yanzhou tried to read the contents of the paper in many ways, reading it horizontally, horizontally, vertically, and diagonally, but they couldn't make sense of the words.
After Tang Chen carefully put the pearl away, he expressed disappointment in his own intelligence: "This, I really don't understand, what about you?"
Wang Yanzhou also shook his head and said, "I don't understand it either. Take it back and let them study it carefully."
The other things are fine, but what should I do with the two jars in my hand now? "What about Sister Yue?"
Wang Yanzhou speculated, "She should have been properly buried by Huaping long ago. Let's take a detour back to Qinghe and bury her there."
Tang Chen nodded and said, "That's no problem, but can you fix my end first?"
Wang Yanzhou fiddled with the two rabbit ears made of gauze on Tang Chen's head and said with a smile, "I think they look pretty good."
Tang Chen said that if she went out with this look, she would definitely turn heads. She just wanted to keep a low profile and felt a little embarrassed. "I really didn't realize you had such a hobby. I only knew you liked rabbit meat, but I didn't expect you also liked rabbit heads."
"If you don't like it, just untie it yourself; the wound is already bandaged, I did this extra." As he spoke, Wang Yanzhou brought the mirror over to her, and then stood behind her with a small bronze mirror in his hand, so that she could see the back of her head.
After Tang Chen untied the rabbit ears, he immediately saw the location of the injury. It wasn't because of the blood that had stained the gauze, but because the hair near the wound had been shaved clean. And when Wang Yanzhou tied the rabbit ears, it just happened to cover the hairless area.
"...Uh, you should just wrap it back. It's too ugly!"
Wang Yanzhou smiled and picked up the gauze that had just been removed, and started fiddling with it on Tang Chen's head again: "You are so naughty and disobedient, now you are getting your retribution."
Tang Chen folded his hands, shaking his legs and said: "Don't imitate me, you have to pay!"
... Yan Chongmao, who had waited a day and a night for Wang Ruo in the cold cave, finally arrived the next day. Wang Ruo had originally agreed to finish his painting and leave, but he got excited and continued painting for a while longer. After finishing, he felt sleepy and decided to rest.
"Master Yan, I've been waiting for a long time."
Yan Chongmao hurriedly bowed and smiled, "Not long, not long. I was worried that Madam might not want to see me."
Wang Ruo chuckled softly and said, "Of course not. Sir Yan, please take a seat. Chen'er, you can go down first."
"yes."
Yan Chongmao told Wang Ruo all the important matters currently going on in South Vietnam, as well as the inside information he knew, and then said, "I have already made all the arrangements in South Vietnam. I am just waiting for your order, Madam."
Wang Ruo said with a smile, "Master Yan, you are joking. I am just a woman, how could I understand these things? I rely on you to take care of me."
