Chapter 256 Yan Tingchu (11)

After getting the things, Wu Xiyan left Miancheng early the next morning and rushed to the big cliff as planned.

On February [-]th, Wu Xiyan, carrying a small burden on his back, appeared at the entrance of the small fishing village on the other side of the big cliff early in the morning.

[The system said: Yanyan, there is a small courtyard on the mountainside to the west of the village, and the back mountain is a bamboo forest. There is indeed a peach tree in the courtyard, but it is dead, so it was almost not detected. 】

[Wu Xiyan asked: Is the detected object still there? 】

[The system said: Metal reactions have been detected. 】

【Wu Xiyan said: Then it must be there. 】

Wu Xiyan knew where the home of Xu Zhuyue that Baixi knew was, and followed the places he knew in memory to find it.

[The system tree speaks, the house on the left in front is the home of Xu Zhuyue that the villagers said.According to what you said from Bai Xi, that person is almost 70 years old.And there were no old people in the room, but there were two middle-aged people, two young people, and an infant child.There is no old man in that family, so Yan Yan must have said that the old man is no longer there. 】

【Wu Xi replied: It's also possible. 】

Listening to the system's words, Wu Xiyanya turned her head to look at the surrounding houses, because the early morning was filled with clouds and fog, and the visibility was not high.

Obviously this village has existed for many years, and most of the houses are relatively old. It is normal to think of people dying of old age. If Xu Zhuyue is not here but the house is rented by Baixi for a long time, the other party will obviously not sell it out or something.

Wu Xiyan stood outside the courtyard gate, watching the smoke rising from the chimney of a small house inside, apparently someone had already gotten up to cook breakfast.

Walking to the gate of the courtyard, I reached out and took a few shots.

"Who? Come here early in the morning, you are..."

The other party was a middle-aged man in his 40s. When he opened the door, he saw a little girl in thin clothes standing at the door, and he was stunned.

Wu Xiyan smiled at the other party and said, "Hello, uncle, I'm looking for Liang Zhuyue, is she at home?"

The man saw that the little girl was born white and clean, and she was a little short in stature, but her face didn't look like a five or six-year-old child. She still carried a burden as if she was relying on relatives, but he remembered that the Liang family had obviously never seen that girl. There is such a girl in a relative's family.

Hearing this, the man asked suspiciously: "Liang Zhuyue? Who are you? What do you want to do with my mother? Are you a relative of my mother's family?"

"Shao Liang, what are you doing standing over the courtyard gate? Is breakfast ready?"

The man named Shao Liang turned his head to look at the woman who called him and said, "Master, there is a girl here who said she was looking for Auntie, but our Auntie..."

Wu Xiyan saw a woman walking out of the hall behind the man, and then walking directly towards the courtyard gate.

The woman came over to look at her and asked suspiciously: "Little girl, my name is Liang Zhuming, and I am Liang Zhuyue's daughter. My aunt passed away last autumn. Do you want to find my aunt?"

Wu Xiyan said: "Hello, Mrs. Liang, my name is Bai Xue. My aunt's name is Bai Xi. I saved your aunt by the river 17 years ago, and I rented a small yard of your house with her. She said that the scenery here is good, and the people here are very kind to him, especially the bamboo shoots here are very delicious, so I came here for a walk to see if the scenery here is what my mother said. so pretty."

Liang Zhuming was surprised and delighted when he heard the words, and said, "Are you the daughter of that hero Bai? My mother always talked about the hero Bai who saved her back then, and said that if she comes again, remember to let us treat her well, your mother How is she?"

The man Shao Liang reminded Liang Zhuming: "The head of the house, it's cold today, why don't you let the benefactor's child into the house."

"That's right, Miss Bai, please come in and let's talk. You haven't eaten breakfast yet when you come here so early. Shao Liang, is breakfast ready?"

Shao Liang said: "It was almost the same just now, it must be fine now, I'll bring it to you."

Wu Xiyan followed Liang Zhuyue into the hall and sat down. The room was a little old and shabby, and she hadn't eaten breakfast yet. When someone came out with coarse grain porridge, dried fish, and preserved vegetables, she also drank a big bowl. .

During the period, Wu Xiyan explained the purpose of coming, and also said that she would stay here for a few days, gave ten taels of silver as food expenses, cooked some delicious food for a few days, and asked the other party to clean the yard for a few days. sky.

Liang Zhuming is naturally happy, because Wu Xiyan said that he eats chickens, ducks and fish, and he raises the most ducks in Dajiang, and he catches fish too. As for chickens, she doesn't have many at home, but she can buy them from her neighbors without worrying. The meat that I ate with my benefactor’s children, and the other party also said that I would give her the extra money as labor expenses. How much did the children eat these days? Three meals a day of big fish and meat would not be able to finish ten taels of silver.

After breakfast, Liang Zhuming's daughter and son-in-law got up, and the youngest granddaughter was still resting.

Liang Zhuming specially introduced her identity and asked her family to take care of her and so on.

After eating, Wu Xiyan went to the small courtyard that Baixi rented. The courtyard was rented for 30 years. As for the lease contract, it was buried under the peach tree along with the token and jade seal, so he didn't worry about the house. Matters of contract.

Liang Zhuming also specifically asked about Baixi's situation. When he learned that the other party had passed away, he also had some insights and said a few words of comfort.

Because Baixi has been rented for 30 years, Liang Zhuming said that her mother told them that even if the benefactor does not come, the house must not be used for other purposes. Let them take good care of the small yard and clean it every once in a while. Every year it needs to be repaired.

Wu Xi said that he would stay here for a few days, so Liang Zhuming brought his husband, daughter and son-in-law to clean up the house, even the fallen leaves in the yard were cleaned up, except for the fact that it was old and unoccupied, there was a musty smell , the rest is fine.

Wu Xiyan asked by the way when the peach tree in the yard died.

Liang Zhuming said that the peach tree died at the beginning of last year, and they didn't move it, so they kept it. After all, the yard was rented out at the beginning, remembering the mother's instructions, so in addition to cleaning the yard regularly, the peach tree in the yard It has not moved.

The system has detected that there is indeed an iron box buried under the peach tree, just under the peach tree next to the fence.

Wu Xi said that she wanted to dig something, so she said that she would walk around first, and let someone call her when they had lunch.

Liang Zhuming heard that there were more mosquitoes in those places in the village, and which ones should not be approached, so he left with his husband and daughter and son-in-law.

Wu Xiyan wasn't in a hurry to dig things, but really wandered around the house for a while.

Liang Zhuming's daughter came to invite her to eat lunch. In the afternoon, Wu Xiyan Liang Zhuming took her daughter and her to the back mountain to dig bamboo shoots. In the evening, she ate fried pork with bamboo shoots. Because she gave a lot of money, she also said to follow them. I eat it together, so I specially cooked a few dishes, including chicken, duck and fish.
