Chapter Eighty-Nine: A Peculiar Pattern

Su Shi was already extremely speechless, because according to Su Zhou's meaning, what he was looking for could be anything in the Red Plum Pavilion.

I didn't even know what I was looking for, and I had to ask Su Shi to find it.

How did he find it?

Su Shi looked at his eldest brother, if Su Zhou didn't deliberately tease him, or Su Zhou had something wrong with his brain.

But Su Zhou didn't seem to be teasing himself, and Su Shi could also guarantee that there was absolutely no problem with his brain.

Then why did he make such a ridiculous request?

Su Shi looked at his eldest brother suspiciously.

Su Zhou said lightly: "I only know that such a thing exists, but I really don't know what such a thing is." ”

"So how do you know if you've found something like this?"

"Do you remember four very strange patterns on that handkerchief?"

Su Shi naturally wouldn't forget, so he immediately asked, "What do those four patterns mean?" ”

"I don't know."

Su Shi almost suffocated to death in one breath, if Su Zhou wasn't his eldest brother, he would have left a long time ago.

After a long time, he slowly exhaled and said with a wry smile: "Then what do you know?" ”

"All I know is that this kind of thing is very hidden, and at least one hundred and seventy or eighty people have turned this place upside down and have not found anything like this."

Su Shi couldn't help but complain: "If you don't even know what you're looking for, even if you come another seventeen or eight hundred people, you will only return empty-handed." ”

Su Zhou suddenly looked at him with some hesitation and said, "You can't find it either?" ”

Su Shi almost jumped up, and couldn't help but shout: "You think I'm an immortal? You can chant a spell and cast a spell to make the thing jump out on its own. Even if I'm an immortal and don't even know the name of that thing, how can I chant spells and cast spells? ”

As he spoke, he picked up a stone from the ground, shook it in front of Su Zhou's eyes, and continued: "I said that this stone is what you are looking for, do you believe it or not?" ”

"Don't believe me?"

"Why not? Maybe this pebble is what you're looking for. ”

Su Zhou said slowly: "Because it's missing one thing." ”

"What's that?" Su Shi looked at him suspiciously.

"It's the strange pattern on the handkerchief."

Su Shi was stunned again, and after a while he muttered, "You mean that the thing we are looking for also has the same pattern on it?" ”

"Maybe it's the same, maybe it's not the same. But even if it's not the same, it must be similar. ”

finally had a useful clue, but when Su Shi thought about it carefully, this clue was almost useless.

Because that strange pattern is so special that it is unforgettable, since one hundred and seventy or eighty people have dug three feet into the ground and have not found it, it is a question of whether this thing exists or not.

"Why are so many people looking for something like this? What exactly is it for? ”

Su Zhou closed his mouth, indicating that he would not answer this question.

Su Shi sighed: "This kind of thing belongs to Hui Niang?" ”

"Yes."

"Hui Niang hid it too?"

"Yes."

"Why would she do that?"

Su Zhou closed his mouth again.

Su Shi thought for a while and said, "Then have you ever thought that the clue may be on those four strange patterns." ”

Su Zhou nodded and said, "I have thought about it, but no one understands the meaning of those patterns." ”

Then he couldn't help but ask, "Don't you really understand those patterns?" ”

Seeing Su Zhou's eager appearance, Su Shi smiled bitterly: "I said that I am not an immortal, I have never seen this kind of pattern before, how can I understand it?" ”

Hearing that Su Shi couldn't understand it, Su Zhou couldn't help but be a little disappointed, but the corners of his mouth showed a hint of a smile, as if he was very happy.

Su Shi said again: "Since this place has been turned upside down, maybe the thing you are looking for has already been taken away." ”

Su Zhou shook his head and said affirmatively: "That thing must still be here." ”

"Why are you so sure?" Su Shi looked at him suspiciously.

"Because every time someone comes looking for it, they come home empty-handed."

Su Shi didn't ask why he would know, since his eldest brother was so sure, then he must have his way.

The bright moon hung in the sky like a coil, and the moonlight sprinkled on the two brothers like water, Su Shi frowned tightly and fell into deep thought.

Su Zhou just looked at him quietly.

After a long time, Su Shi yawned loudly, and then said to Su Zhou, "Let's go back." ”

"Did you find anything?"

"Yes."

Su Zhou was surprised and delighted, and looked at him incredulously.

"What discovery?"

"I found out I was a fool." Su Shi said: "At this time, I should have been lying in bed and sleeping well, but now I have to stand in an empty yard, looking for something that no one knows what it is, which is a waste of my energy." ”

Seeing that Su Shi had already tried his best, Su Zhou was no longer reluctant, and said, "It's okay, you are also tired today, let's go back to the house and have a good rest." ”

After just a few steps, Su Shi stopped again, took out the handkerchief from his arms, and handed it to Su Zhou.

"Give you back this handkerchief."

Su Zhou took it and put it in his pocket.

"This handkerchief is cut from runyu silk?"

"Yes."

"Is it true that only people from the royal family can have Runyusi?"

Su Zhou said: "Every year, there are only two pieces of runyu silk that the Western Regions pay tribute to, and the Son of Heaven cherishes them, so people who are not from the royal family cannot have them." ”

"Then this handkerchief is also a royal thing?"

"Yes."

"Then why is it in Hui Niang's hands?" Su Shi suddenly had a flash of inspiration and muttered: "It turns out that Hui Niang's lovesick person is a member of the royal family, no wonder he will be depressed and unhappy, and finally die of depression." ”

Speaking of this, Su Shi suddenly remembered the words of the tavern shopkeeper, and then shook his head and said: "No, it was the royal family who died first, and the comet died in depression, it seems that the relationship between the two is extremely deep." ”

Su Shi was curious, couldn't help but look at Su Zhou, and asked, "Do you know which one of the royal family is in love with the comet?" ”

Su Zhou sighed and said slowly: "The Si people have passed away, and mentioning it again is only to increase worry." ”

Su Shi continued to ask, "Why would Hui Niang leave such a mystery instead of clearly telling others what she left behind?" ”

"Because she was under house arrest for the last three months of her life."

"House arrest?" Su Shi looked at Su Zhou in surprise: "Why are you under house arrest?" Under house arrest by whom? ”

Su Zhou said silently: "You should be able to guess." ”

Su Shi immediately thought of Hui Niang's beloved.

Her beloved was a member of the royal family, and after his death, Comet Niang was placed under house arrest, but Hui Niang left another secret during his house arrest.

Thinking of this, Su Shi had a preliminary judgment on this matter, but what made him wonder was why the eldest brother wanted to get involved?
