Early the next morning, Su Jitong's master and servant went out of the valley, but they did not go directly to the lake and hills, but took Anlu to detour.

It stands to reason that the fastest and closest road should be taken from Lingxu Valley to Huqiu, but Su Jitong insisted on detouring from Anlu, which made Aster a little confused. But thinking that Su Jitong had a plan in her own heart, she didn't dare to ask more patiently, although Su Jitong never regarded them as maids, but whether they were slaves or maids, they had to understand their own duties, and the master's thoughts were not something they could figure out in vain.

When I arrived in Shiwen County, it was already night, because I was just in time for the August Meeting, that is, the Mid-Autumn Festival, the people on the street were not lively, looking at the lanterns of different shapes on the riverside stalls, it was really a dazzle.

Su Jitong saw Aster staring at a rabbit lamp for the first time, without rolling her eyes, smiled lightly, walked and took off the rabbit lamp, and looked at it carefully: "How to sell this lamp?" ”

The stall owner stepped forward with a flattering smile, peeked at Su Jitong, and the smile on the corner of his lips deepened a little: "Childe has a good eye, this lamp is a top-notch product, and it only takes two taels of silver to take it away, which is very cost-effective." ”

"What? Two taels of silver? "Aster was not happy to hear it, their monthly salary for the guys in Yunlou was only three taels of silver, and this broken lamp cost two taels of silver? Where is the bargain, isn't this a clear robbery? Aster pulled Su Jitong's sleeve and said in a low voice, "Childe, let's not want it." ”

"Yo, this is Grandma Chen's craft, Grandma Chen knows, right? That's the first person to see the lanterns in our county, the lanterns she made are exquisite and not to mention, just the form, what is it like, you look at this rabbit, how good-looking, just for this craft, two taels of silver is not expensive. Moreover, this year, Grandma Chen only made five lanterns, and this animal only made such one, if the son buys it back and gives it to the girl, he will definitely be able to please the girl. ”

Two taels of silver is nothing to Su Jitong, just to buy a lantern to spend two taels of silver is really not worth it, Su Jitong was about to put the lantern down, when his eyes swept the inside of the lantern, he found that there seemed to be some lines on the skeleton of the lantern, looming.

Su Jitong was curious, took a few more lanterns and looked at them, and found that there was nothing on the skeleton, only these lines on the rabbit lamp, but because of a layer of silk, the lines on Su Jitong's skeleton were never real, but the lines were inexplicably familiar.

Su Jitong raised her head and asked, "What's engraved on this?" ”

"You mean this, it seems to be a flower, but this pattern is unique and difficult to imitate, but all the lanterns made by Grandma Chen have this pattern." Saying that, the stall owner took another lantern with good workmanship, but this time it was not an animal, but a beautiful lotus flower, white and gorgeous, and the stall owner smiled and said: "This lotus lantern is also made by Grandma Chen, you look at this skeleton, there is also this pattern." ”

Su Jitong took the lantern handed by the stall owner and took a closer look, sure enough, Su Jitong lowered her eyes and bought both lanterns, spending a total of four taels of silver.

When she returned to the inn, Su Jitong couldn't wait to disassemble the lantern, take out the skeleton, and look at it, as if she was hesitating about something.

"Miss, what's wrong with this pattern?" In fact, what she wanted to ask was whether the lines on the lantern were transmitted by the Beixin people, after all, they didn't come out this time to check about the Beixin and Sangjiang Dam. But when you think about it, it's unlikely, this August will be like this once a year, if you really use this lantern to spread the news, how can you wait. But Miss won't be like this for no reason, just now she saw it really, Miss didn't plan to buy the lantern, but after discovering this pattern, Miss didn't say a word and bought the two lanterns back, and as soon as she came back, she dismantled the two lanterns, there must be something wrong with the lantern.

For Aster's question, Su Jitong didn't seem to hear it, just looked at the skeleton in a daze, for a long time, Aster finally couldn't bear the curiosity, leaned over to take a look, and said in surprise: "Little, Miss, this ......"

There is an epiphany delicately engraved on the skeleton, the pattern is very strange, but it is not difficult to see that it is an epiphany, but what surprised her was that this epiphany was exactly the same as the birthmark on the young lady's body, without deviation.

"Aster, go and inquire about this Grandma Chen." Su Jitong said softly.

She remembered that the stall owner who sold the lanterns said that the person's name was Grandma Chen.

Aster retreated, and Su Jitong sat alone in front of the window, looking into the distance.

If she remembers correctly, the grandmother in this skin is also surnamed Chen.

According to investigation, when Su Jitong and her mother left, Mama Chen had something at home and went home on leave, and when she came back, Su Jitong's mother and daughter had already left Su's house, and the news of their mother and daughter being killed spread throughout Ling'an, and Mama Chen also lost the news at that time, as if the world had evaporated.

She knows that Mama Chen should know more about the affairs of the Liu family, since she decided to help their mother and daughter out of this bad breath, she must understand the events of the year, and she has also inquired about Mama Chen's whereabouts over the years, but after all, after so many years, how can she find any news.

Su Jitong stroked the skeleton engraved with epiphany patterns, and muttered to herself: "Is it you, Mama Chen?" ”

She got up and walked to the table, looking at the unshapely lantern that had already been destroyed by her, Su Jitong was embarrassed, and she only wanted to see the lines in the skeleton, completely forgetting that she had planned to buy this lamp for Aster. In fact, it depends on the texture and only dismantles the lotus lamp, but she is good, she dismantles the two lamps, she scratches her head, and is a little annoyed: "It seems that you have to buy another lamp for Aster." ”

Su Jitong raised her eyes and looked at the closed door, and the left and right Aster would not come back so soon, so she simply went out for a walk by herself, bought a lantern for Aster and came back to play, thinking like this, Su Jitong opened the window and jumped out of the window.

Back to Fangcai's place, all kinds of lanterns rushed into view, but after looking around, I couldn't find a white and cute rabbit lamp like Fangcai, so I picked a beautiful nasturtium lantern and prepared to go back to Aster.

Unexpectedly, she was targeted, Su Jitong was a little curious, who was so intimately looking for a clean up, no, she walked along the street without hurrying, in order to let the people behind her keep up with her, so as not to be squeezed out by the crowd of people, Su Jitong also walked slowly and intimately, and waited from time to time.

Seeing that it was almost there, he walked to a small alley, and suddenly turned and got into the alley.

The man behind him was busy rushing over, and he didn't want to follow up the alley, but who would have thought, the alley had entered, but it was a dead end, and he didn't see half a figure at the end.

"Little brother, where are you going?" Su Jitong fell lightly in front of the person who came, and her smiling eyes mixed with ice slag stabbed straight at the person.
