"Chains?" Xiao Yue was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that thing, the chain was originally worn by Ganwu around her neck, and the chain was collected by Xiao Yue when she ran away from the wine store for the first time, and it was precisely because of this chain that Ganwu would take the initiative to return to the wine store at that time, "That necklace should be very important to Ganwu, but she didn't even mention it later?" Even the letter he wrote to us before he died made no mention of it......"

"Let's go, go back to the wine shop, you go and get the chain," Haitang said, helping Xiaoyue to get up, "Actually, what I am hiding from you is not something to be happy about." ”

After the two returned to the wine shop, Xiao Yue went upstairs to get the chain, Haitang called Ruan Whale Luo again, the three of them sat down in the lobby, and Xiao Yue handed the chain to Haitang.

"Look." Begonia said, placing the chain on the table.

The pendant in front of the chain looked like a small grass with two leaves, cast in silver throughout, and the workmanship was fine, which seemed to be quite extravagant.

"Brother, this chain shouldn't be something ordinary people can afford to wear, right?"

Xiao Yue frowned.

"No," Begonia picked up the chain and shook it, "girl, look carefully," and said, picking up the pendant and pointing to one of them, "the silver here has peeled off, and there is copper inside." ”

"The pendant is made of bronze, but it is wrapped in a very thin layer of silver. The point I'm going to talk about now is not just about this pendant," she sighed lightly and put the pendant back on the table, "I went to ask people to investigate Ganwu's past, but what I found was not the same as what Ganwu said a few days ago. ”

"I'll just say that that day, Ganwu asked Brother Begonia when he found out when Brother Begonia felt a little speechless," Ruan Whale Luo muttered, "It turns out that it's because of this, then, what did Ganwu experience before?" ”

Haitang nodded: "Ganwu's state at that time was too bad, so I didn't tell the news at that time." ”

Xiao Yue frowned on the side and snorted coldly: "We help her so much, she still deceives us?" ”

"Sister Yue'er, don't say that, Ganwu must have her own troubles...... Ruan Whale Luo hurriedly said.

Xiao Yue glanced at her angrily: "You, your heart is too good." ”

"She really didn't lie to us," Begonia began, "and she's telling the truth—or rather, she thinks she's telling the truth." ”

"What do you mean?" Ruan Whale Luo was a little dazed when he heard this.

Xiao Yue picked up the pendant on the table and looked at it, and nodded thoughtfully: "You mean, she was still in a state of amnesia at that time?" ”

"That's right," Begonia said, "the past she thinks is actually similar to that of the Faceless Woman, it's just a hallucination of her self-deception after her amnesia," Begonia said, taking out a letter, "This is the news that Yao Bai found." ”

More than half a month ago.

Somewhere in Jinling.

Although Jinling City is very prosperous, this kind of small mountain village at the border is obviously not related to the word "prosperous".

Yao Bai was a little depressed, he had just come to Jinling at such a short time when he received a message from Haitang asking him to help.

Haitang didn't provide much information, but gave him a rough range: the boundaries of Jinling, a poor small mountain village, and a small town not far from the small mountain village. Then there are a few names: Ganwu, Wan'er.

He'd been searching for days, but he hadn't found anything, and based on the information he'd gathered, there was probably only one last place left in the area that might be eligible.

But this time he seemed to have found the right place, and the village in front of him seemed to be only a dozen or so households, and from behind the village there was a river leading into a larger river, and not far from the river there was a small town—or rather a large village.

A few children are playing at the entrance to this small mountain village.

Yao Bai looked at the scorching sun overhead, lowered his hood, and walked into the village.

To his surprise, as soon as the children saw him approaching, they immediately walked away silently with their heads bowed.

He was slightly stunned and continued to walk inside.

The village was not large, a dozen or so families were not far from each other, and it was strange that there was a clearing between two houses, and there was no vegetation in the clearing, it was just a bare clearing—and a grave in the clearing.

Yao Bai walked to the grave and stopped, first bowed slightly to the tombstone, and then raised his eyes to look at the words on the tombstone.

"The tomb of the neighbor Zhang and his wife".

A few words.

Yao Bai retracted his gaze, bowed to the tombstone again, and was about to turn away, but the corner of his eye caught a glimpse of something on the tombstone the moment he turned around.

He turned back and approached the tombstone.

Embedded in the top of the stele was a small object, its shape was somewhat distorted, it looked like it was made of copper, but there was something more distorted black the surface of the copper.

"This is ......," he thought, "if you look closely, it's something with a handle, like two wings...... This is the rhizome, this is the leaf...... Is it a plant? ”

"I haven't seen you, you're from outside, what are you doing here?"

A voice suddenly came from behind him, and Yao Bai turned around to follow the voice, only to see a large man with a rather strong appearance and a young woman carrying a wooden barrel standing in front of him. Both men watched him warily.

"That's right, I came out from Jinling City to travel, and I happened to be here today, and I plan to stay around here for a while before going to the next place." Yao Bai made up a reason, and he took off his hood as he spoke, revealing a big smile.

Although Yao Bai always has a straight face, and he is dressed as a cloak and hood on weekdays, he looks quite serious and majestic, but when he smiled, his handsome face immediately became a little more affinity, and he had a pair of deep eyes that looked like they had gone through vicissitudes, and this comparison made people even more curious.

The woman at the door immediately seemed to be a little less wary of him, and her gaze softened a little when she looked at him.

"If that's the case, you'd better get out of our village as soon as possible." Dahan took a step forward.

Yao Bai scratched his head: "Ah...... Before I came out, the master said that I should stay for a while every time I go to a populated place before leaving, that ...... Can you-"

"No way!" Yao Bai's words were interrupted by the woman, and the woman's eyes were full of vigilance again as she looked at him.

Yao Bai looked at the scene in front of him, glanced back at the tombstone behind him slightly, and thought, "I guess you are so wary of me, it must have something to do with this tomb behind me." The only land in the village around the grave is ungreen, so I guess it must have been burned, and the fire must have burned within the last year or two. The houses in your village are so close, but there is such a large piece of empty land here, so there should have been a house on the land under our feet at this moment, but then the house caught fire, and the Zhang couple in the house were also burned to the sea, so you helped the couple to set up such a grave in the same place. But if you had died just because the village had been on fire, you wouldn't have been so wary of outsiders, because it's not far from the town, and you wouldn't have had nothing to do with that little town, I guess...... The fire in this house must have been caused by someone from outside, that's why you're so wary of outsiders, right? ”

After Yao Bai finished speaking, before the two people in front of him could reply, he said: "There is a thing embedded in the tombstone of the Zhang couple, it seems to be a copper cast silver paint object, it should be the couple's thing, the fire did not completely burn this thing, it was just deformed, the silver on the outside has been burned black and twisted into a ball, and the copper inside is relatively better, and you can see a general appearance, what kind of plant should it be." ”

The big man and the woman were silent, and there was a thick tension in their eyes when they looked at Yaobai, they obviously didn't expect that with just such a few clues, the person in front of them would be able to deduce the general situation of the matter.

"Actually, if you're in any trouble, maybe I can help you solve it? I am a martial artist, a martial arts person, so I should protect the common people. Yao Bai said, lifting the corner of his cloak, revealing the sword pinned to his waist.

"You ......" Dahan didn't react for a while, he was hesitant and said several "you" in a row. The woman on the side was calmer, and she quickly responded: "I can tell you what happened, but you must promise me that after I tell you what happened, you will do us a favor, even if it may make you go against some big people." ”

"Yes." Yao Bai agreed very happily.

"Dad," the woman said to the big man, "we can't keep being like this, Wan'er's whereabouts are still unknown, no one knows if they will come back one day to find trouble, instead of living like this every day, it is better to gamble and have a good time!" ”

When Dahan heard this, he looked at the woman beside him, then at the determined Yaobai, and sighed heavily: "Okay, let's tell you what happened, I hope you really have that ability, don't break your word." ”

Yao Bai smiled slightly: "I won't break my word, and it just so happens that I especially like to find the stubble of the 'big guy'." ”

The woman took a deep look at Yao Bai, slowly spoke, and talked about the past:

"This used to be Uncle Zhang's home, their ancestors were people in the court, and then they made a mistake and ran all the way here, and that person got married here, and many years have passed since Uncle Zhang's generation. Uncle Zhang's daughter's name is Zhang Wan'er, and she is my best friend...... Everything was fine, but one day someone came from outside and said that they were passing here, and their young master saw that Wan'er was going to take her away, Uncle Zhang, and they swore to die, and then they killed Uncle Zhang and his wife, and burned his house, fortunately, Uncle Zhang, they had let Wan'er escape in advance, and under the cover of everyone, Wan'er successfully escaped...... But since that night, we haven't seen Wan'er again. When they left, they said that they would come back to our village sooner or later...... We were very tired every day, afraid that they would come back again, in fact, we also thought about leaving this place together with the whole village, but in our village there are old people who are old with canes, and there are children who are babbling...... Where can we live without this? ”

After hearing this, Yao Bai narrowed his eyes slightly and nodded thoughtfully.

"What are your plans?" Dahan asked with some eagerness on the side.

Yao Bai smashed his mouth: "If I can, I want to stay with you first, and then the next time the person you said comes back, I will deal with him." ”

"This ......" Dahan was speechless for a while, and the woman on the side still spoke: "No problem, you can live in my house first, if you can really help us, we can promise you any conditions." ”

Yao Bai shook his head with a smile, and said the principle that he would never practice on weekdays: "Kuang Fu justice is what we martial arts people should do, if you don't meet it, you won't let it go." ”

After a pause, he said again: "My name is Yaobai, I don't know who the two are?" ”

Dahan cleared his throat and said, "My name is Gan Shi, this is my daughter, my name is Gan Wu." ”
