Butler Chen was stubborn and didn't say a word. Finally, when those people realized they couldn't get anything out of him, they beat him to death with a stick.
Later, he brought a group of people to loot the Bai family's house.
My father was hiding in the dark, trying to sneak attack that man and kill him, but he escaped.
Later, my father was hit by a wooden bullet, but he survived and took me with him to escape without stopping.
He was afraid that the man would find us, so he ran into the mountains. Later, we were lucky enough to meet my adoptive father, who saved me and my father and took us to another country.
That wooden barn injured my father and left him with a chronic illness. A few years later, he died, and I grew up with my adoptive father."
"Do you know what that person looks like or what his name is?"
"My father said that man's surname was Mu, and he would be around sixty years old now. As for his appearance, my father actually drew a portrait of me. I'll show it to you."
Chen Ruxue couldn't help but think: His surname is Mu, the same as the old man Mu those people are talking about, and he is about the same age, could they be the same person?
Bing'er took off the small bag she was carrying and took out a few pieces of unbreakable oil paper from it, "This is it, and also the treasure map that my great-grandfather once drew according to his memory.
There are two copies of the treasure map, and the diagrams of the inner and outer mechanisms are all here."
Chen Ruxue was about to reach out to take it when Bing'er dodged her and asked, "You haven't told me who you are yet?"
"I am the great-granddaughter of that old man Bai you mentioned."
"You... How is it possible! This is too much of a coincidence!"
Bing'er hurriedly handed the item in her hand to Chen Ruxue, explaining, "Don't overthink it. My great-grandfather drew this just for commemoration. He never thought of going to your house to look for treasures."
"I believe you! If your grandfather had really intended this, the treasure would have been gone long ago."
Chen Ruxue took the treasure map and looked at it carefully. As she looked at it, she found a problem. "Bing'er, the one your father drew is different from this one!"
"My father said that although he drew it at the time, it wasn't completely correct. But how did you know that?"
"Don't worry about how I know this, I promise to help you find your enemy and take revenge.
Moreover, now not only do you want to seek revenge on him, I will not let him go either, because he hurt my family and friends."
Chen Ruxue took out the portrait in her hand again and looked at it carefully.
The portrait showed a man in his forties with ordinary looks. His honest face had a pair of sinister eyes and a black birthmark the size of an egg on his neck.
"This is the portrait of the man surnamed Mu. My father drew it based on his memories so that I could seek revenge on him.
Over the years, whenever I miss my parents, I’ll take out this painting and look at it. Even if it turns to ashes, you’ll still be able to recognize it.”
"Okay, I know all this. I have one last question for you. Did your father or grandfather ever tell you where the treasure is buried?"
“They never told me where it was buried, but I was born in An City, and the Bai and Jiang families are also in An City. I guess this treasure must be buried in An City as well!
And there are so many mountains where we live, so it's easy to bury something."
"Have you ever heard of Hulu Mountain?"
“I’ve never heard of Hulu Mountain, but I’ve heard my father talk about Li Mountain.
I heard that the mountain got its name because it looks like a big pear."
"Lishan? Hulushan?" Chen Ruxue silently thought about the shapes of the two mountains.
"Hulu Mountain! Li Mountain! I know!"
Chen Ruxue finally understood what was going on!
I guess it’s because the old man from the Lu family didn’t want people to guess where the treasure was buried, so he deliberately created a trick to deceive people.
The Pear Mountain that looks like a gourd is called Hulu Mountain!
No wonder, no wonder she didn’t find anything after searching in several places, it turned out that she had been looking in the wrong places before.
Now that we know where the treasure is hidden, the next thing we need to do is to investigate the Yang family and Zhu Jinbao.
At the beginning, Grandpa Yang took the risk to secretly give the treasure map, which was the landscape painting, to Zeng Musheng, who then passed it to her.
After several years of interaction, Chen Ruxue has already gotten to know Zeng Musheng very well. She doesn't think Zeng Musheng is aware of these things.
In other words, Zeng Musheng should be unaware of all this.
As for Uncle Yang, he has been buried for a long time now. If you want to find out anything related to him, you can only ask Uncle Yang's younger brother and his family.
There is also a Zhu Jinbao, but it seems that since Uncle Yang passed away, there has been no trace of Zhu Jinbao.
The more Chen Ruxue thought about it, the more she felt that this matter was not simple.
In this world, the number of people who know her life story can be counted on one hand. The old lady of the Jiang family far away in Xiangcheng counts as one, Lin Suqiu from Ning City, and Old Man Miao from Ming County each counts as one, then there is that old man Mu, and finally there is Ye Haonan.
Among the few people, apart from Old Man Mu who was the most suspicious, she couldn't think of anyone else.
But at that time she had just arrived in Beijing.
How did Old Man Mu know all her actions so accurately?
Not only can he monitor her whereabouts at all times, but he can also set a plan for her to meet Uncle Yang, and just in time, he can deliver the treasure map to himself.
What kind of person can have such ability?
Is it a coincidence, or can that person predict the future?
Chen Ruxue thought about it and finally rejected the idea of predicting the future.
As for coincidence, it is probably not a simple coincidence, but perhaps the result of careful design.
