Chapter 19: Peony Flowers

"What? Do you mean deer live grass? ”

I saw a look of surprise on Nguyen Thanh Van Van 's face, which showed that he knew about Lu Huo Cao.

"Yes, it's Lu Live Grass, I heard that President Yuan was seriously ill and ordered someone to find Lu Live Grass for treatment, but when he passed through Henan, he was stolen by thieves, it seems that the person who was responsible for escorting Lu Live Grass at that time was also surnamed Ruan, I don't know if my uncle has heard of it?" I tapped again.

"Brother Dongzi, what is the live grass for the deer, is it the grass for the deer, we are all called mother-in-law Ding and camelina cabbage." Xiao Liuzi interjected.

I didn't open my mouth to respond to Xiao Liuzi, I just shook my head at him, and then I set my eyes on Ruan Shengwen's face again.

Ruan Shengwen looked at me in surprise, then nodded slightly and said: "Who did you listen to about this, that's right, I know the deer live grass, the person who was responsible for escorting the deer live grass back then was my grandfather, but it is said that he was robbed by bandits who came down from a certain mountain, and my grandfather was finally shot by Yuan Shikai for losing the deer live grass." ”

"Oh, you're telling the truth! Is it really your grandfather? ”

My heart immediately waved, I thought I would just ask with the attitude of trying it out, but I didn't expect to ask the main one, which inevitably made me feel a little emotional.

Ruan Shengwen continued to affirmatively say: "It's like this, but I also heard my grandfather say it when I was a child, and the grass is like fairy grass, anyway, I don't believe it, by the way, Dongzi, you suddenly asked me what I was doing?" ”

"Oh, nothing, I've just heard such a story before, and I'm just curious." I replied casually.

Ruan Shengwen answered my question very simply, as if he told me everything he knew, but in fact I felt that he was not telling me the truth, because when I mentioned Lu Huocao, his emotions also fluctuated significantly, and even when I looked at his eyes, there was a slight dodge in that gaze.

Xiao Liuzi and I got into Ruan Shengwen's car one after the other, Ruan Shengwen knew that our group was gone, and there were only two people left, Xiao Liuzi and me, so he planned to send us directly to the bus station, because Xiao Liuzi and I were arrested at the bus station at the beginning.

The matter about Lu Huocao has already had a good start, how can I give up halfway, so I said to Ruan Shengwen Actually, I am not in a hurry to leave, there is such a thing at his house, I just happened to catch up, I will call Liu Baye to explain the current situation, so I plan to stay a few more days to help him find out where his parents' bodies are going.

"Ah...... Oh, well! ”

Ruan Shengwen hesitated a little, obviously not expecting me to stay suddenly, that is, this slightest hesitation made me think that he must know where the deer grass was.

Ruan Shengwen may not want me to stay and interfere in his family's affairs, but because of his relationship with Liu Qiaomei, it is difficult to refuse.

"In that case, how are you going to help me, Dongzi?"

"Let's go to your parents' burial place and see if you can find any clues."

"Okay."

Ruan Shengwen still answered very simply, but the way he looked at me was full of doubts.

Soon the car stopped at the door of Ruan's house again, and the rest of the road was still on foot.

When I arrived at the pit again, there was a mess in front of me, the coffin lid was scattered, the tombstone was also crumbling and crooked, and there were many things that the second elder loved when he was alive.

said that I was here to look for clues, but in fact, I just said it casually, because there were already several police officers at the scene to investigate and look for traces of the corpse, and I was a hairy boy, naturally I can't compare with their professions, it's just a hatchet.

When I walked to the pit and looked inside, the two coffins were empty, except for some scattered items, not even a single hair of the second elder was seen.

Suddenly, as if I had discovered something, I jumped into one of the coffins in the pit.

"Well, who are you, who let you in, do you know the traces of the destruction scene?"

A police officer shouted at me, then looked at Nguyen Thanh Van to the side.

Ruan Shengwen waved his hand and signaled that it was okay, and the police officer ignored me and continued to busy him.

After entering one of the coffins, I crouched down and raised my hand to touch the edge of one side of the coffin, and found a scratch there, as if it had been scratched raw with my fingernails.

I'm all too familiar with these marks, and the Dragon's Claw looks like this when it's lightest, so I'm pretty sure it's a human hand.

Not only the one in front of me, but also the coffin in the other had the same scratches, and the direction of the scratches seemed to be formed from the inside out.

And in this coffin, there are only two corpses, can it be said that the two corpses crawled out of the coffin by themselves?

I was surprised when I saw this trace, and said in my heart, how is this possible, Ruan Shengwen's parents are obviously dead, how can they climb out of the coffin by themselves, can it be ......

Thinking of this, I hurriedly jumped back to the ground from the coffin, took two quick steps back, and looked out for a panoramic view of the pit.

My memory is not bad, whether it is good or not, but some special things still have an impression, such as the pot of peonies that were used as burial offerings, and now they are gone.

"Dongzi, have you found anything?" Nguyen Shengwen asked me.

After looking at the scattered areas around the pit, I turned to Ruan Shengwen and asked, "Uncle, I remember that there was a pot of peony flowers when I was buried, why is it missing now?" ”

"It's true, it's really gone, but it's just an ordinary flower, does it have anything to do with the theft of my parents' bodies?"

I smiled and said, "Uncle, let me ask you, did the second elder like that pot of peony flowers very much when he was alive?" ”

Ruan Shengwen frowned and thought for a while, nodded to me hurriedly and replied: "I like that pot of flowers very much, I usually put it in their room, I don't even let me touch it, and I don't let me touch it when there is grass growing in it. ”

I don't know if Ruan Shengwen said this intentionally or unintentionally, but it made me completely sure of my thoughts, the important thing is not the pot of peony flowers, but the grass in the pot, if I guess correctly, that grass is the deer grass I have been looking for.

The deer grass can bring people back to life, but it is possible that the deer grass has been chewed alive by Ruan Shengwen's parents, because only in this way can it meet the scratches from the inside to the outside of the two coffins.

But if that's the case, then at least there will be empty pots or withered peony remains, but at the moment there is not even a shadow of a flower pot and peony flowers, which is a bit too unbelievable.

As the so-called bystander Qing, Xiao Liuzi has been listening to the conversation between me and Ruan Shengwen, after Ruan Shengwen said about the pot of peony flowers, Xiao Liuzi suddenly slapped his thigh and exclaimed, "Oh, I know, the grass in that pot is the live grass of the deer, I said uncle, your grandfather is a guard and steals!" ”

"How is this possible, you are not allowed to slander my grandfather!"

Ruan Shengwen looked at Xiao Liuzi with some anger.

Ruan Shengwen's reaction was great, not just because Xiao Liuzi slandered his grandfather, but because Xiao Liuzi had already revealed the truth in one sentence, and he just didn't want to admit it.

"Sixth son, don't talk nonsense, don't slander your uncle's ancestors."

I glared at Xiao Liuzi fiercely and told him to shut up.

Then I apologized to Ruan Shengwen on behalf of Xiao Liuzi, saying that Xiao Liuzi is still a child, don't be angry with him.

Ruan Shengwen nodded very open-mindedly, and then asked me, "How is it, have you found any clues?" ”

Naturally, I didn't say anything, just shook my head to indicate that I hadn't found anything.

Although I didn't say it, I think Ruan Shengwen and I already knew it, and he must have known what I found.
