He sighed and strode towards Huo Yan.
"Brother, we still haven't found it. If I remember correctly, the one that fell was only the size of a soybean, so it's really hard to find. If it had fallen into the river, it would have been washed away long ago."
Huo Yan simply drank his tea quietly, showing no trace of his previous rage.
I don't know if he listened to what I said.
But after an incense stick's time, a constable who had fallen behind returned on horseback. He quickly dismounted and rushed over with a grin.
"Found it." He said, pulling a piece of cloth from his pocket, inside which lay a gem the size of a soybean.
Jin Yu patted him on the shoulder, "Good lad, where did you find this?"
"I went to relieve myself under a tree and heard the cawing of crows. That's when I discovered a hidden bird's nest."

Jin Yu took the gemstone, waved his hand, and said, "You've worked hard. Go back now, let's have a drink together tonight."
Watching the man walk away, Jin Yu handed the gemstone to Huo Yan, who was sitting at the table drinking tea.
"Brother, you heard it too. This gem was found in the crow's nest. That girl named Su... Ruanruan, so delicate and weak, it's impossible for her to have hidden this thing in a tree."
You misunderstood her. She might have accidentally lost the gem, but she was the one who reminded me. That's why I had the brothers keep an eye on the trees today, and sure enough, a bird snatched it away.

Huo Yan rubbed his temples, feeling a tightness in his chest. They didn't know why he had let her go.
But only he knew what that woman had sacrificed.
Huo Yan silently drank his tea without saying a word, leaving Jin Yu with no choice but to shut up.
My brother is really strange; he's not happy that the item was found.
