Therefore, Tang Chen suggested: "There are too many questions to think about and answer. Let's take them one by one. First and foremost, let's solve the issue of the painting screen. The sudden disaster that Huayue Tower suffered must have a complicated reason."
Wang Yanzhou went over everything that had happened in Wujiang Town in his mind. Although he didn't find anything suspicious, he did have a small clue. "Do you remember that old man in the charity cemetery said that Huayue Tower was being executed for harboring a fugitive?"
Tang Chen nodded and said, "That's what you said. Didn't you say that the fugitive was fake?"
Wang Yanzhou shook his head slightly and expressed his opinion: "Not necessarily. The Wujiang government office has kept this matter secret and even said that someone from higher up gave instructions. I think we can investigate. Perhaps the fugitive is not a fabricated story."
Hearing this, Tang Chen suddenly remembered all the detective novels and TV dramas he'd read before. Sometimes, the most confusing truth is often the one that's obvious at first glance: "...There aren't many clues right now, so there's no point in investigating."
After returning to Qingliang Valley, Tang Chen slept in the big bed she hadn't slept in for so long, finally no longer having to use the sky as a blanket and the ground as a mat. These days, whenever everyone has free time, they usually gather in Meiwu to study the contents of the note. For someone like Tang Chen, who only gets excited for a short time, even the most urgent matters can be forgotten in an instant. She needs to adjust to maintain her enthusiasm.
It would be good to return to the palace, but in contrast, Tang Chen's range of activities would become narrower, especially to places where Wang Yanzhou would let her go alone.
Tang Chen was about to get restless when a light bulb went off in his head. He suddenly thought of a good place to go: "Well, I'm going out for a walk. You know where I'm going, right?"
Wang Yanzhou looked at the sea of stars that suddenly appeared in her eyes and froze in his place for a moment before he realized where she was going. "...What are you going there for?"
Tang Chen put his hands on his hips and said, "Exploration, give me the key."
Wang Yanzhou pointed in the direction of the bedroom and said, "In the innermost compartment at the head of the bed."
"Okay!"
After Tang Chen found the key, he ran out in a hurry. Wang Nianqing was a little curious. He seemed to have never seen the key in her hand before: "Where did she go crazy again?"
Wang Yanzhou smiled and said, "Secret."
...Tang Chen sneaked into the abandoned woodshed, and after making sure that no one was following him, he slipped in quietly. As he pushed the door of the secret room, a breeze blew over the mountains and slowly blew towards the secret door of the woodshed.
Looking at the magnificent scene in front of him, Tang Chen couldn't help but take a few deep breaths: "Huh, that's it. Stay calm, calm down, and don't look down."
Wang Ruo has been in and out of the small house on the cliff several times these days. Wang Zhen has a lot of his belongings, and she wanted to pick out a few good ones and put them in the ice cellar so that she can keep Wang Zhen company.
Unlike when she came here a few days ago, although Wang Ruo did not see any more footprints on the ground, she was not blind. She saw from a distance that the door of the secret room was pushed open.
Just as I was wondering if it was Wang Yanzhou who had arrived, I tiptoed closer and peeked inside through the half-open door. I saw Tang Chen standing stupidly in front of the bookshelf, holding a book and muttering something to himself.
When Tang Chen first came, he casually glanced at the English diary of the top student. This time, he was determined to get to know this mother-in-law who came from the same time and space as him. "Let me see, did the top student say which school he was from? What if he's an alumnus? Hahaha, how is that possible!"
The information revealed in Tang Chen's words made Wang Ruo suddenly nervous, and he couldn't help but think: Could it be that he is a fellow traveler?
Tang Chen flipped through a bunch of books on the bookshelf. One of them, A Brief History of Chinese Paladin, really got her excited. She thought back to when she first started playing this game in elementary school, and now it's six out of six! She never imagined she'd even gotten married. Time flies!
After reading the contents of this book, Tang Chen seemed to see a young lady who wanted to play games but could only survive by recalling the plot and the relationship between tasks; she was hunched over her desk, lighting a candle, writing something with a silly smile on her face: "Oh, my mother-in-law is also a nerd. She even wrote about the relationship between the characters from one to three, which is amazing. I can tell at a glance that she is the type who wants to play games like me. Hahaha, I like Xuejian too, Jinglou party is so awesome!"
Tang Chen was enjoying himself when Wang Ruo excitedly slapped the wall without controlling the force. Tang Chen heard a noise outside the room and quickly put down the book in his hand, picked up the wooden stick behind the door and ran out: "Who!"
As soon as he went out, Tang Chen looked around and found nothing strange except the rustling of leaves in the breeze. "Maybe I heard it wrong. Never mind. I've been here for a while. I'll check again next time. Oh, I'm hungry too. I can't seem to get enough food lately."
After locking the door, Tang Chen leaned against the cliff, staring straight ahead with his eyes wide open. After taking small steps for a long time, he finally moved back to the secret door. This time, he happened to run into everyone sitting together eating snacks and fruits.
"Wow, you guys ate without calling me!"
Liang Shuyi glanced at Wang Yanzhou and said with a smile: "Who knows where you have been? Come on, come on, you just came up."
That night, when Wang Yanzhou finished dealing with the things that had piled up recently and went to bed quietly, Tang Chen, who should have closed his eyes and immersed in a dream, suddenly opened his eyes, almost scaring him.
Tang Chen hadn't actually fallen asleep yet. She'd been trying very hard, but her stomach kept rumbling. Wang Yanzhou saw that she hadn't fallen asleep yet and was about to say something when she interrupted him: "Yanzhou, when I went to the secret room today, I felt like someone was watching me. But when I went out, there was nothing there. Do you think there might be a thief?"
Wang Yanzhou chuckled and said, "I guess you overheard it. No one else knows about that place except us."
Tang Chen pouted and said, "Really? Then maybe I'm just overthinking it."
Other things would be fine, but Wang Yanzhou has been busy lately and always has to work until very late. But every time he goes to sleep, Tang Chen is always awake: "Come to think of it, you can't sleep recently, but did I disturb you at night?"
Hearing this, Tang Chen turned over and sat up straight, looking at Wang Yanzhou with despair and wailing, "Ah, it's hard to say, I was actually woken up by hunger."
Wang Yanzhou gently patted Tang Chen's forehead and asked with a smile: "Pfft, you little pig, what do you want to eat?"
