Chapter 220: Finding the Agate Promise
As expected, when Chang He came to report again, his face was filled with sadness and sympathy when he talked about Wu Xingyun.
The Zongheng Escort Agency was burned down completely, but the casualties were not serious.
But the mistress and her son were nowhere to be found, so when Wu Xingyun showed up, suspicion immediately fell on her.
If Chang He had not come forward to testify, Wu Xingyun would have been rescued by his master and had been recuperating in the mansion. He would have been arrested on the spot by the yamen runners.
Finally, a maid who was doing cleaning work in the escort agency came out and said that she seemed to see the mistress and the master sneaking out of the side door with a large bag of things in the middle of the night.
The escort masters and accountant of the escort agency searched the room and found that the underground vault had been emptied. Only then did they shift the identity of the prime suspect to the mother and son.
"I'm afraid Miss Wu's return will cause more trouble, so I arranged for her to go ahead with Yu Wangzhai's truck."
The atmosphere was quite tense at the time. Chang He was afraid that Wu Xingyun's impulsiveness would implicate his young lady, so he took the initiative to send her away.
"Well, you did the right thing. If she doesn't want to, let her come back with the car after she recovers from her injuries. I don't want to save someone in vain." Yu Hongdou praised Changhe's approach.
I originally wanted to train Wu Xingyun to set up the Zongheng Escort Agency, but God didn't let me do that. So I have to carefully examine whether this "personal bodyguard" can do the job.
After breakfast, the Yu family set off on their return journey with the two sons of the Tan family and several carts of luggage.
"It's right here, it's right here~" Yu Hongdou overturned the flying chess piece that was about to be lost and pointed outside the car window.
"My brother and I found the agate here, but we haven't opened it to see what's inside. Why don't you go down and look for it? We can have a bet to see who can open the best-looking stone."
Yu Hongdou made the proposal enthusiastically, trying to save the situation after suffering various losses along the way.
"Is there any bet?" Tan Yanlin seemed somewhat interested.
"Yes, if you win, I will give you something good. If I win, you have to promise me one thing. Of course, it won't be something that makes you embarrassed."
Yu Hongdou hesitated for a moment, thinking of the red agate stone that she had signed in to the system, and thought that she should not be the one to lose.
"Okay." Tan Langxu and Tan Yanlin looked at each other and agreed readily.
Yu Hongdou had a bad feeling in her heart and stared at the two brothers seriously: "Are you guys planning to cheat?"
"How could that be? But Hongdou, you probably don't know that after the secret room in the Goddess Temple, my ninth brother and I have been studying the art of prospecting and refining stones with my uncle."
Although Tan Yanlin was not completely confident, he was quite sure about his plan.
"Hehe~ let's see who's the real winner with our hands." Yu Hongdou snorted and laughed. Boy, unless you are the chosen one, it's a dream to think you can beat her.
The three men dragged Yu Song, who didn't want to get involved, off the carriage and headed towards the water.
Yu Sanlang leaned through the window and asked a few questions. After learning about their competition, he excitedly pulled his wife out of the carriage, got two small stools, and sat by the river to fish and watch the show.
Yu Hongdou came to the old place, and the beam of light that had been used to sign out the red agate raw stone was still flickering in the same place.
[Sign-in location: Jinghu branch in Yuanning County, does it cost 1 point to sign in? ]
[Successful sign-in: Get 1 piece of red agate raw stone. ]
Hehehe, Yu Hongdou glanced at the agate raw stone in the backpack and smiled secretly.
I was originally worried that these stones would be printed from the same mold.
If that's the case, if you give it to a teacher as a gift, given how meticulous the teacher is, he or she might be suspicious.
Yu Hongdou felt relieved when she saw the two stones of slightly different shapes in the backpack.
"I didn't expect that there would be raw agate here." Tan Yanlin held up a jade-like stone and looked at it against the light.
"I heard that agates have been seen in the Gobi Desert. The agates there are mostly large pieces with beautiful shapes and rich colors. I wonder which one is better than the local agates."
Yu Song also picked up a piece of raw agate, looked at it, put it in the hem of his clothes, and turned to look at Tan Langxiu.
Every man has a dream of becoming a general. He has fantasized about riding horses and fighting on the battlefield, but it is just a thought.
Yu Song feels that life and family are more important than dreams.
"Yes, it is said that Gobi agate is like stars, as smooth as crystal, and has its own glow. It is a treasure without being sculpted." Tan Langxiu rarely said a long list of praises.
"In the first few years after Second Uncle arrived in the northwest, almost all the gifts he sent to the mansion were agate. Now there are still several agate screens and ornaments in the old man's storehouse."
Tan Yanlin wanted to laugh when he talked about this.
My second uncle said that he was relatively poor when he first arrived in the Northwest, but he felt it would be a shame not to send gifts home during the New Year. He heard that there were agates everywhere in the Gobi Desert, so he would go to the Gobi Desert to pick up stones whenever he had free time.
As for the old man in my family, he holds a contemptuous attitude towards all things pretentious.
Originally, he was planning to use the agates given by his second uncle to practice martial arts, but he gave up when he realized that this thing was quite expensive.
For several years afterwards, whenever the old man gave away gifts, he would scatter the agate that his son had brought back. Even so, there was still a pile of it at home.
Tan Yanlin said these words jokingly and successfully got Yu Hongdou's jealous laser eyes.
Damn rich people! Although her storehouse is now full, there are only a few things she can really show off.
Hate! Or should I find a chance to go back to the village and dig up another treasure of the bandit Guo Jinlong?
While Yu Hongdou was daydreaming, she suddenly felt a chill under her feet, as if something slippery was spreading across the back of her feet. She was so scared that she jumped up.
"Ah!" Yu Hongdou's jump scared the three people who were not far from her.
Yu Song rushed forward and picked up his sister, while Tan Yanlin and Tan Langxu, one was on guard while the other went forward to take a look.
A black figure as long as Yu Hongdou's arm quickly meandered away from the water.
Tan Langxu was quick-witted and quick-handed. He grabbed an agate stone in his hand and shot it straight towards the head of the black shadow.
"It's a lost black fish." Tan Yanlin had already seen clearly what the black thing was.
"Fish? I thought it was a snake. I was scared to death." If it was a fish, Yu Hongdou would be scared.
She got off her brother's back and went to look at Tan Langxiu who had returned with the fish.
It is indeed a black fish, with some yellow and white on the sides and downwards, and black patterns can be seen on it. It looks delicious.
"Lunch is taken care of." Yu Hongdou put aside her past grudges and stared at the black fish greedily.
Tan Langxu raised his eyebrows, a dark light flashed in his eyes, and he moved the fish closer to the little girl who looked surprised.
Yu Hongdou was smiling as she prepared to take the fish to ask for credit from her parents.
Just as she got close to the fish, the fish suddenly swung its tail and hit her with a "pop".
