Chapter 162: Hidden Jade Village

"I see." I replied to Wu Bing with a firm expression.

When we left, Wu Bing asked us to go back to him in five days, and I asked why we had waited so long. He said he needed to prepare something, and I asked what to prepare, and he just said that I would know when the time came.

Coming out of Wenshu Monastery, Liu Jin said that he went to find a craftsman to bring tools to smash open the cement platform. Let me go back and tell Su Xi about this first.

When I returned to Su's house, Su Xi was still reading, and I saw that her state seemed to be better today, and I was happy for her. Su Xi asked me what I had gained from going to Wenshu Monastery, and I told me everything I could, including the story of Mi Jia and Su Po. When I spoke, Su Xi listened quietly beside me.

"Did you know your mother-in-law's name before?" After I finished speaking, Su Xi was still stunned, so I asked.

"Know, Qingli, it's a beautiful name. But I've never heard anyone call her, and I didn't even know she knew Master Wu Bing. Su Xi replied to me.

"The relationship between the two of them should be unusual." I reasoned. At the same time, I also understood why when Su Xi saw Wu Bing for the first time, Wu Bing deliberately stopped her. first asked her about her life experience, and then told her some ways of life and death, which should be at that time. He recognized Su Xi as Su Po's granddaughter.

Regarding Wu Bing's Su Xi's identity, Su Xi did not express much surprise, after experiencing such things, she should vaguely guess that she is different from ordinary people.

At this time, Liu Jin called and said that he had found the craftsman and asked me if I would smash the cement platform today, and when I said this, I looked at Su Xi. After all, it was left by her mother-in-law. I think I should ask her first. I asked Liu Jin to wait for a while, and then asked Su Xitong if he agreed with us smashing open the cement platform to find the map.

"Of course I'm going to save Sister Mika." Su Xi listened and nodded without hesitation.

With Su Xi's permission, I asked Liu Jin to bring the craftsman over.

Liu Jin found two craftsmen, one in his thirties and the other in his forties, with dark skin, who looked like they often worked. They also brought special tools for hammering cement.

After entering the house, Liu Jin and I moved Su Po's bed away, revealing the cement platform below. Because we were worried that there would be something inside, we didn't dare to let them smash the cement table directly, but let them knock on the cement platform little by little.

As soon as we had finished speaking, the two craftsmen began to work, and the three of us stood aside, all staring nervously at the table.

As the cement was knocked down little by little, my heart was hanging higher and higher.

The craftsman listened to our greeting and didn't dare to use too much force, so the progress was relatively slow, and it took about an hour before he made a discovery. The first one shouted "Wait a minute," and the other one stopped, and the older one squatted on the edge of the table, holding something in his hand, and we all rushed over.

"What a red cloth." The craftsman said. At this time, I saw that he was holding a piece of red cloth in his hand, and the back of the cloth was still buried in the cement.

"Go get a basin of water." He said to the other craftsman, and I was busy telling me to go, and when I had said that, I went out and brought in a basin of water.

When the water arrived, they poured some water onto the concrete surface, then changed to a smaller tool and continued to beat the cement down. At this time, I felt Su Xi's body on the side tremble, I turned my head, and saw her biting her lip, her brows furrowed deeply, and her face was not good-looking.

"What's wrong?" I asked softly.

"I'm worried that I'm going to be overwhelmed by what's down there."

"Do you know what's inside?" I asked, confused.

Su Xi shook his head and said, "I just have a very bad feeling. ”

After another half hour, the red cloth came out more and more loosely, and I only felt that the atmosphere in the room was more tense.

The craftsman continued to plane the cement on the red cloth, and slowly, the whole cement platform turned red, and I could see that Su Po had covered it with a red cloth, and then piled cement on the red cloth.

Because the craftsman was shaving water while planing the cement, when the red cloth was exposed, it was already soaked, and the wet red cloth sank down, revealing the outline of the things below, seeing the outline, Su Xi's body trembled even more, and I was also a little hairy in my heart, this silhouette was like a human body.

By this time the cement had been completely cleared from the red cloth, and the craftsman stood up and asked us if we would like to remove it.

"Wait a minute!" Before Su Xi and I could speak, Liu Jin answered him.

Subsequently, Liu Jin asked the two craftsmen to go out first, and then call them later. The craftsman only worked to earn money, and without asking much, he went out of the room. After they left, Liu Jin walked over and closed the door, pulled down the curtains again, and then walked back to us.

"It's all come to this, let's uncover it." Liu Jin should have also seen the strangeness of the things under the red cloth and reminded us.

I looked at the red cloth and swallowed, it looked like there was a person lying down here, that is, there was a corpse buried in this cement platform, but who could it be?

I looked at Su Xi, her face was a little pale, and I asked her if she wanted to go out first, and then tell her after I saw Liu Jin. Su Xi shook his head, unwilling to leave.

In this case, I will no longer be entangled, and I will go forward and uncover the red cloth.

"It's better for me to come, you accompany Su Xi." Liu Jin stopped me and walked over before me.

When he went, I retreated to Su Xi's side. Liu Jin is a straightforward personality and doesn't like to drag mud and water, so I saw him holding the corner of the red cloth with his hand, taking a deep breath, and then directly pulling it all away.

As the red cloth was pulled aside, the situation under the red cloth became clear, and when I saw the person lying there, I was so surprised that I couldn't close my mouth, and Su Xi pounced directly, shouting loudly: "Mother-in-law!" ”

I would never have thought that the person under the red cloth would be Su Po, except for her face was a little pale, nothing else was unusual, her eyes were closed, as if she was asleep. However, the clothes she was wearing were very ordinary and normal, especially when I first met her outside the dormitory, which was completely different from the appearance she had when she appeared at night.

"It turned out to be Su Po......" Liu Jin's face also showed great doubts.

Compared with our surprise, Su Xi didn't think about it so much, she was more sad, lying on Su Po and crying. Su Po has been away for so long, seeing that her love has improved, but suddenly seeing Su Po's body, how can she not be sad.

What is a little strange to me is that Su Xi seems to have some kind of induction towards Su Po's body, neither Liu Jin nor I would have thought that this is Su Po below, but Su Xi's expression before proved that she must have this kind of conjecture in her heart.

I let Su Xi vent for a while, and then I stepped forward to help her up, Liu Jin walked to the cement platform and looked at Su Po's side carefully. At this time, I also saw that there was a layer of red cloth under Su Po's body, which was equivalent to her body being wrapped in two layers of red cloth.

"There's a box here." Liu Jin looked at it for a while, then turned back to us and said.

At this time, Su Xi's love was already better, I helped her to walk over, followed Liu Jin's hand, and saw a wooden box under Su Po's head.

Since it is a box, there will definitely be something inside, and Liu Jin and I both looked at Su Xi. The deceased is big, and it is inconvenient for us two outsiders to take out the box from under Su Po's head, and Su Xi has to do it.

Su Xi understood what we meant, and slowly squatted down, she looked at Su Po's peaceful face, and reached out to stroke her neatly combed hair.

After a while, Su Xi held Su Po's head with one hand, and pulled out the wooden box from below with the other.

After Su Xi stood up, he handed me the box. I first said to Su Po in my heart, "I'm sorry", and then took the box.

There was a lock on the box, but it wasn't locked, and I slowly opened it.

As soon as I opened it, the smell of sandalwood wafted into my nostrils, and the contents of the box were brown like a very old piece of paper.

I didn't dare to touch it without permission, so I asked Liu Jin to come and take a look, Liu Jin glanced at it and said: "This is like an animal skin, maybe it's really a map, and it looks like it's been some years." "It's all.

"Su Xi, this is your Su family's thing, it's up to you to take a look." I turned my head and said to Su Xi.

Su Xi listened, hesitated for a moment, and then took out the object with his hand, and as Su Xi picked it up, it spread out at once, and it was indeed an animal skin.

Su Xi held it with both hands for us to see. I leaned over and saw that there were some black lines on it, and some graphic signs, which were undoubtedly maps.

"Hidden Jade Village." Liu Jin on the side muttered.

Hearing his voice, I noticed that there were a few small words written in the upper left corner of the map, which was really "Hidden Jade Village".

"Do you know this place?" I asked Su Xi.

Su Xi frowned and shook his head.

I searched the map carefully, and there were no more words except those three words.

Wu Bing said that we should let Su Xi complete the transformation first, and her transformation will use this map, I thought this was the ancestral home of the Su Xi family, how could she have a little impression, or heard Su Po mention it, now even she doesn't know such a place, so many villages in China, how can we find it.

"Since Master Wu Bing asked us to find this map, he must know something, and we should have the answer if we take the map and ask him." Liu Jin said.

His words reminded me, and I didn't guess anymore, so I asked Su Xi to put the animal skin back in the wooden box, and I covered the box again and put it away.

After this is said and done, we have to face a thorny question, what should be done with Su Po's body.
