Here, Mrs. Huo received a visiting card from Qiu Dekao. It was a calligraphy piece. After reading the contents, Mrs. Huo snorted coldly, "This foreign devil has quite a big appetite. He thinks the life of this thousand-year-old divine tortoise is too short."
Huo Xiuxiu asked in confusion, "Grandma, do you know this Qiu Dekao?"
Mrs. Huo put down the calligraphy and painting and replied, "When Sanniang was in charge, the Huo family had contact with him. He often followed important figures, so he can be considered to have met him."
"Brother Wuxie said that Qiu Dekao cooperated with him to stay here to search the mountain. I didn't expect him to surrender to you so soon." Huo Xiuxiu said.
Mrs. Huo put down the teacup in her hand and said to the person next to her, "I don't trust this person. Send the things back."
After the calligraphy and painting were sent away, another piece of porcelain was delivered shortly afterwards. Old Mrs. Huo looked around at the porcelain and chuckled, "He still won't give up... Send it back."
The man standing next to him responded and took the things away. After a while, he returned and the porcelain in his hand turned into another box. The man handed the box to Mrs. Huo and said, "The person who came said that if you don't agree, I'll show you this."
Old Mrs. Huo took the box with some doubts and slowly opened it. An ink-colored bracelet lay quietly in the box. Old Mrs. Huo closed the box in an instant, her heart still trembling. It turned out to be that person!
After calming down for a while, Mrs. Huo slowly spoke again, "Go tell the people coming. I will leave marks along the way for their people to enter."
After the messenger left, Huo Xiuxiu couldn't help but ask curiously, "Grandma, is there something wrong with this bracelet? Why did you agree to it?"
Old Mrs. Huo leaned back in her chair, pinched her brows, sighed deeply, and explained, "That bracelet was given to Mr. Shen by Sanniang back then. She said that as long as he had this bracelet, the Huo family would agree to one thing for him..."
"Mr. Shen... Shen... is it Shen Zujun?" Huo Xiuxiu asked.
Old Mrs. Huo didn't say anything, but her expression showed that she was certain of it.
In the cave
"Qi Ling, my dear, how did you find this place? Although there aren't any technical difficulties along the way in Yangjiao Mountain, it's really hard to find after all the twists and turns. Xiao Hei and I walked for five whole days before we found it. We also encountered so many jade figurines that they even tore my sleeves! Look!"
As he spoke, Ji Huaichuan raised his hand in front of Zhang Qiling, and saw that there was a big hole in his sleeve. If it was any bigger, he might not be able to hold it up.
The tattered sleeve wrapped around the slender wrist, dazzlingly white, and swayed back and forth in front of Zhang Qiling's eyes. Zhang Qiling stopped, raised his hand and grabbed Ji Huaichuan's wrist. With his other hand, he took out a piece of cloth from his backpack and quickly wrapped the sleeve up. He said in a low voice, "Be careful not to catch a cold."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Qiling walked forward, leaving Ji Huaichuan standing there with a frown staring at the rag in a daze. The fat man had been watching from behind. After seeing Zhang Qiling leave, he stepped forward and put his arm around Ji Huaichuan's neck, whispering, "Little brother hasn't been right lately. He ignored me when I talked to him in the car. I was wondering what was wrong with him, but it turns out it's because of the power of love."
"Ah?" Ji Huaichuan didn't understand.
The fat man let go of Ji Huaichuan, straightened his clothes, patted his shoulder and replied: "It's okay, Fatty, I'm going to find my love too. Let's go, the sooner we act, the sooner we finish. Then we can go back to see my sister Yuncai!"
Ji Huaichuan looked at the fat man, his eyes full of confusion. What on earth was going on? Were they all upset? Unable to understand, Ji Huaichuan shook his head and gave up, then caught up with the main group.
