Chapter 157: Clues
After returning home, Wu Fan quietly reclined on ** and carefully sorted out the information he had just gotten.
Fang Mouse was hired to come to Yanhui Town to find his grandfather's will, apparently to get clues about Ning Huangpei. As for who the person who hired the rat would be, Wu Fan was a little unsure, and it should not be a member of the Tang family, because if it was a rat hired by Tang Mengru's father, it would obviously make some sense.
Wu Fan is still the nominal son-in-law of the Tang family, if the Tang family wants to get Emperor Ning's pendant, they should work Wu Fan, instead of sending someone to find the illusory will.
In addition to the power of the mercenary rat, there is also the force that sent Brother Yu to pay more attention to Wu Fan, this force is obviously more powerful and ferocious, at least it can cultivate dead soldiers who see death as home, which fully shows the terrible nature of this force.
In addition, there is also the force that once sent people to assassinate Tang Mengru in Shenzhen, although I don't know if this side has anything to do with Tang Mengru's assassination of Emperor Ning Yupei, but it is obviously also the party that needs Wu Fan's attention.
However, what Wu Fan couldn't figure out was whether the Tang family was involved in this operation to find Ning Huangpei? If not, then why would the forces on Brother Yu's side decide that Fang Mouse belonged to the forces of the Tang family, and if Brother Yu's judgment was not wrong, then why didn't the Tang family set their sights on Wu Fan, who was easier to get, but instead put their hopes on a will that probably didn't exist?
Wu Fan found that there seemed to be an invisible net quietly surrounding him, and no matter how hard he struggled, he could not find the gap in this net, and this large net was constantly shrinking, tying him tighter and tighter.
After sneering twice, Wu Fan clenched his fists so creaky that no matter what kind of net it was, since he couldn't find the head of the net or touch the gap, he would break this net hard, crush it violently, and smash all the conspiracies.
After dawn, Wu Fan got up and went to the courtyard to move around, and began to think about what excuse to return to Shicheng, since there were no valuable clues to be found in Yanhui Town, it was better to simply go to Shicheng and directly face the forces of all parties who were making ghosts in private.
It's just that seeing the smiling faces of the two old men of the Wu family, Wu Fan can't bear to leave like this, because once Wu Fan leaves here, I'm afraid he will never come back, that is to say, this is the last time the two old men and their sons get along, and Wu Fan really doesn't want to deprive them of the only trace of happiness left.
After breakfast, Mr. Wu smiled and put out a set of tea sets, pulled Wu Fan to sit in the middle of the courtyard, Wu's mother proposed a small coal stove, boiled boiling water for the two of them, and also sat next to the two of them with a smile, watching the two of them drink tea with a happy face.
Old man Wu and Wu Fan started a family routine, starting from when Wu Fan was babbling when he was a child, and until the expectation of the old couple after Wu Fan married his daughter-in-law, the old man Wu, who has always been taciturn, suddenly opened the conversation box at this time and talked endlessly for more than an hour, but it also allowed Wu Fan to take the opportunity to understand his predecessor thoroughly.
In the past, Wu Fan learned about his predecessor's life and surname from the records, and this time he completely understood how his predecessor grew step by step from an ordinary rural baby to the only key college student in the town.
After talking about these trivial things in life, Old Man Wu let out a sigh of relief, and said with a smile on his face: "Child, do you want to go back to Stone City?" Then go back, everything is fine with me at home, you don't have to worry about it, and you don't always have to send money home, you live in a big city, and you need to spend more money than us. If you're doing well, I'll be fine with **. ”
Old Man Wu's sudden words suddenly made Wu Fan feel a little sour in his nose, he had experienced two unusual lives, and his emotions had been exercised as strong as steel, but at this time, he couldn't help but turn into a soft finger, deep and heavy parental affection, which caused Wu Fan to miss his deceased parents, and his eyes turned red uncontrollably.
Mother Wu also smiled and took one of Wu Fan's hands, held it in her hands lovingly, and patted it gently: "Child, what your father said is right, you are also a man who has become a family, and you will also be a father to raise children in the future, can't you just think of me and your father, think more about your daughter-in-law, save more money, you have to pay more attention to your body outside, don't be tired and don't get sick, do you hear?" ”
After enjoying the long-lost affection of licking calves, Wu Fan prepared to leave Yan and return to the town and rush back to Shicheng.
When Old Man Wu watched Wu Fan pack his luggage, he seemed to suddenly remember something, reached out and patted it lightly on the door of his head, turned his head and shouted to Mother Wu, who was making food for Wu Fan on the road in the kitchen: "Old woman, where did you put the banner of the child and his grandfather that you turned out last time?" Let the child bring it to see if it is worth it, if it is worth it, sell it, and keep the money for our grandson to buy milk powder. ”
Old Man Wu's words made Wu Fan in the house suddenly excited as if he had been beaten with chicken blood, it turned out that Old Man Wu Xingsi really left words for future generations, how could this not make Wu Fan's blood boil all over his body, who had been struggling to find clues.
Under the surprise of being too surprised, Wu Fan didn't even care about covering up in front of Old Man Wu, his body shook slightly, and he came to Old Man Wu's side, fortunately, Old Man Wu was turning his head in the direction of the kitchen at this time, and he didn't see Wu Fan's actions beyond ordinary people, otherwise Wu Fan wanted to explain to Old Man Wu what was going on, I'm afraid it would not be an easy thing.
Old man Wu looked at Wu Fan and said: "Child, I watched TV with **, the old objects that people turned out from their old homes are worth a lot of money after they are on TV, I am thinking about it with ** and looking through it at our house, I didn't expect to really turn out a banner from under the old bookbox left by your grandfather, I remember seeing it when I was a child, when your grandfather sighed at this piece all day long, do you see if this width is worth it?" ”
After waiting for a while with excitement, Wu Fan finally saw Wu's mother holding a piece of yellowed rice paper from the bedroom.
This banner is a traditional Chinese ink landscape painting, but in the blank space of the picture, the old man Wu Xingsi wrote a poem on it: There are owls in the north mountain, and their wings are not clean. If you don't fly in the right direction, you can't sleep in a fixed place. If you are hungry, you will be woody, and if you are full, you will be muddy. Gluttony and corruption, stinky rot is food. The intestines are full of filling, and the lust is endless. The long song calls the phoenix, and the phoenix has no virtue. The phoenix is interesting, and the child is exotic. Never start this trick and work hard!
After reading it twice, Wu Fan frowned, this is a broken poem? It seems that there is no mention of any information related to Emperor Ninghuang's jade pendant, and what disappoints Wu Fan the most is that there is neither a head nor a payment on this banner, and Wu Fan can't even tell if it was left by the old man Wu Xingsi.
At the moment when Wu Fan raised his head in disappointment, he suddenly felt that something was ignored by him, raised his head and was stunned for a moment and hurriedly looked down at the banner, this time he finally knew that something was wrong, it turned out that the ink landscape painting on this canvas gave Wu Fan a very familiar feeling.
After a careful inspection, Wu Fan suddenly realized, no wonder he had been looking at this painting so familiarly, because the scenery on this painting was clearly near Yanmen Pass, and it was definitely the cliff that Yelulin jumped off in the Tianlong World.
Wu Fan felt that he seemed to have grasped a clue to complete the task, because Wu Fan had a feeling that the real world and the Tianlong world seemed to have been figured out, otherwise why would the old man Wu Xingsi specially draw a picture scroll of Yanmen Pass? Could it be that the old man Wu Xingsi got the Ning Huang jade pendant at Yanmen Pass?
Now that the old man Wu Xingsi has been eternal, it is impossible for Wu Fan to know what kind of story Wu Xingsi has between Wu Xingsi and Emperor Ning Yupei, since he has obtained this picture now, then simply go directly to the vicinity of Yanmen Pass to take a look.
Wu Fan made up his mind, hurriedly said goodbye to the Wu family's parents, and hurried to the station in the county seat with his luggage.
Just when Wu Fan had just gotten off the bus and had not yet walked into the county station, the mobile phone in his pocket rang.
This mobile phone is not a mobile phone given to him by the devil, but an ordinary mobile phone that he inherited from his predecessor Wu Fan after he came to the real world. If it hadn't suddenly rang, Wu Fan would have almost forgotten that he still had such a mobile phone.
took out his mobile phone and looked at the caller ID, the call was from an unfamiliar number, Wu Fan estimated that it might be a friend or creditor of his predecessor, so he directly pressed the hang up button and did not answer.
Unexpectedly, the owner of this phone number was quite persistent, not long after Wu Fan hung up, he actually called back, Wu Fan had the heart to hang up again, but he saw that the people queuing up to buy tickets around him were looking at him with strange eyes, in order to appear less distinctive, Wu Fan had to connect the phone and put it to his ear.
"Hey, who's that?"
A familiar voice came from the phone: "Brother Wu, I didn't think that my brother would call you, right?" Where are you now? Is it convenient to speak? ”
This call was actually from the helmsman of the Bauhinia Hall in Shenzhen.
"Helmsman? You don't seem to be using the phone number you left me, huh? What's the matter, I'm looking for a brother? Wu Fan also felt a little strange, when the helm and he left contact information for each other, he once saved the helm master's phone number in the address book of this mobile phone, but he didn't expect the helm master to call him for the first time, and he didn't use the phone number left for him.
"It's such a brother, brother, I just got a piece of information related to you, because the matter is urgent, I came out in a hurry, so I didn't bring the phone number that I usually contact people, and I borrowed this phone from a friend. Brother, don't talk about it, didn't you say that someone once entrusted you to protect the eldest lady of the Tang family in Shenzhen? The helmsman was obviously anxious to tell Wu Fan something, but he only briefly explained the problem of the phone call, and went straight to the point.
Wu Fan was also a little surprised, why did Master Helm ask about the matter in Shenzhen again? This should be the end of the matter.
"Helmsman, don't you know this very well, what's wrong? Could it be that someone in Shenzhen asked about this matter? ”
"It has nothing to do with what you did in Shenzhen." Master Helm said something on the phone that shocked Wu Fan extremely, "But I just received information that the eldest lady of the Tang family was assassinated in Shicheng, and now her surname is dying, and the situation is extremely not optimistic."
