The soldier was choked and clenched his fists. He was about to clash with Wang Hu again. The other soldiers hurriedly held him back again and persuaded him: "Do your business first, don't bother him here."
Only then did the storm be temporarily suppressed, but the atmosphere in the yard became more and more tense and depressed.
The soldier gave Wang Hu a fierce look, suppressed the anger in his heart, cleared his throat, and said seriously: "We all serve under the Prime Minister, and we usually work at the border crossing in Youzhou."
When the middle-aged man heard this, his brows frowned even more, and his face was full of doubts. He hurriedly asked, "I am just an ordinary citizen and have nothing to do with the Prime Minister. What does it mean to come to you with such a big fanfare? I'm really confused."
After saying that, he rubbed his hands uneasyly, looked back and forth at the soldiers, and felt that this matter might not be simple, and his worry became more and more obvious on his face.
The soldier ignored the questions in the man's words and continued to ask on his own: "What's your name? How many people live in the family?"
The man couldn't help but glance at Wang Hu and thought to himself, hasn't Wang Hu told them about these situations?
But seeing these soldiers looking serious, he didn't dare to ask more questions, so he had to answer honestly: "My name is Wang Haipeng, and I and my wife are the only ones at home. Now, my wife is back to her parents' home. Now I'm at home. If you have anything to do, don't go around in circles and just say it, I'm still feeling up and down."
As he said that, he looked around uneasy again, feeling uneasy, not knowing what these people from the Prime Minister's Mansion were doing to find him.
The soldier smiled slightly and said in a gentle tone: "My name is Liu Xiaoyu, don't be too nervous. We are here to understand some situations. As long as you answer truthfully, you won't make things difficult for you."
As he said that, he waved his hand at Wang Haipeng, trying to relax him, but Wang Haipeng couldn't help but wonder, not knowing what these people were going to know about. Although a smile was barely squeezed out on his face to respond, the nervous expression still couldn't completely dissipate, and there was still a hint of alert in his eyes, standing there quietly waiting for the following.
Then, Wang Haipeng tried hard to squeeze out a smile and hurriedly said, "No matter what, you are a guest when you come. Let's go to the house and have a drink of water."
After saying that, he led everyone into the house.
After everyone entered the room, Liu Xiaoyu was always thinking about the secret passage. She wanted to ask Wang Hu's specific location, but when she thought of Wang Hu's appearance of not getting in, she knew that it would be useless to ask.
At this time, the other soldiers didn't have time to sit down. Liu Xiaoyu looked at Wang Haipeng, her eyes became serious, and she asked directly: "Wang Haipeng, do you have a secret passage in your family?"
When Wang Haipeng heard this, his face changed drastically, and his face was filled with panic and shock. His eyes dodged and he stammered, "What... what secret passage? I... I don't know, I, an ordinary family, wouldn't have that kind of thing."
As he spoke, his hands trembled slightly unconsciously, and his heart skipped a beat, thinking secretly how they would know about the secret passage. This is a problem.
Seeing Wang Haipeng stammeringly and refusing to tell the truth, Liu Xiaoyu immediately put away her polite attitude, her face darkened, and said in a serious tone: "Wang Haipeng, you'd better tell me the truth and don't try to hide it, otherwise you can't afford the consequences."
Liu Xiaoyu paused, stared at Wang Haipeng tightly, and then said, "Don't think that your secret passage is your own private matter. If this secret passage leads to some other place, it may cause some unnecessary trouble, and it will not be something you can control by then. You have to think clearly and explain it truthfully is a wise move."
Wang Haipeng became more and more panicked when he heard Liu Xiaoyu's words. He had a fine bead of sweat on his forehead and his lips were trembling, but he was still hesitating whether to tell the truth. After all, the secret passage was very involved, and he was really afraid of causing trouble.
After a while, Wang Haipeng swallowed his saliva with difficulty as if he had made up his mind. His voice was filled with helplessness and nervousness and he slowly said: "It is indeed... there is a secret passage."
He looked up at everyone and then said, "Since you all know, then... then you come with me."
After saying that, he led everyone to the South House.
After entering the room, Wang Haipeng walked to the wall, reached out his hand to fumble on the wall for a while, and then gently tweaked a seemingly ordinary mechanism.
With a few light "crack" sounds, a crack slowly appeared on the ground. Wang Haipeng pointed to the crack and said, "The secret passage... is below. But this secret passage has not been used for a long time, and I don't know what the situation is now."
When he said this, his face was full of uneasy, worried that there was something unknown hidden in the secret passage, and afraid that these soldiers would find something unfavorable to him after entering. For a moment, his expression became more and more serious.
After hearing Wang Haipeng's words, Liu Xiaoyu couldn't help but frown and asked, "Have you never went down to see it?"
Wang Haipeng replied honestly, "I went in once when I was a child, but I was almost beaten to death by my father that time. Since then, I never dared to go in again. Moreover, my father had sternly explained that there was nothing there, just an ordinary passage. I believed him and had never approached him for so many years."
As he said that, he still looked at the cracks on the ground with lingering fear, as if he remembered what he had experienced when he was a child, and was still a little scared.
Liu Xiaoyu stared at Wang Haipeng's expression with a sharp look, trying to find a flaw in it, but after looking at it, it felt like he was not lying.
However, Liu Xiaoyu still reminded with a serious look: "Wang Haipeng, you have to think about it. If you tell lies, you will have to bear all the consequences by yourself. That's not a joke."
When Wang Haipeng heard this, he quickly raised his hand and swore to the sky with a sincere and eager look on his face, "I, Wang Haipeng, swear to the sky. Every sentence I just said is true, and there is no lies. If there is a falsehood, I will let the sky thunder strike and I will not die a bad death!"
His eyes were full of confidence, hoping that this would make Liu Xiaoyu believe in him, and he prayed silently in his heart, but he must not cause any trouble because of this secret passage.
Liu Xiaoyu's eyes were deep and he said slowly: "As far as we know, this secret passage can lead to Youzhou."
After saying that, he pointed at Wang Hu and then asked, "Last time, he forced you away from here, and then lived here by himself. Is that so happening?"
Wang Haipeng was suddenly at a loss, his eyes wandering back and forth on Liu Xiaoyu and Wang Hu in a panic, not knowing how to respond.
At this time, Wang Hu sneered and said indifferently: "That's it. If you admit it, it's over. I didn't do anything to you. I'm not the tiger that ate you at that time. I dare not admit anything."
After hearing Wang Hu's words, Wang Haipeng looked at Liu Xiaoyu with a serious face. In desperation, he had to bite the bullet and nodded, and whispered: "Yes...is that's the case."
But I secretly complained in my heart, hoping that the storm would be settled sooner and that I would not cause more trouble for myself.
Liu Xiaoyu continued with a serious look on his face: "The Prime Minister has already stipulated that Youzhou is not a place where you can enter and exit casually. You must go through relevant procedures. If everyone can enter Youzhou at will through this secret passage, then it will be no longer a mess, and how much trouble it will cause."
Wang Haipeng quickly waved his hand and said innocently: "I really never expected that this secret passage could lead there. I really didn't know at all before."
Liu Xiaoyu frowned slightly and asked again: "Do you know when did this secret passage be dug?"
As he said that, he also looked at the house and secretly estimated that the house had been around for more than a hundred years, and then speculated: "I guess this secret passage must have something to do with your ancestors."
After hearing this, Wang Haipeng was confused and scratched his head and replied, "I... I really don't know. My father hasn't told me in detail about this secret passage, let alone when it was dug. I really don't know."
After saying that, he was also helpless and stood there a little uneasy.
After Liu Xiaoyu looked at each other and said with a serious expression, "No matter why this secret passage was dug out, now it must be sealed in order to avoid chaos."
After saying that, he signaled everyone to walk into the secret passage.
Wang Hu leaned against the wall and said impatiently: "I am very tired and don't want to go anywhere. If you want to go, you will go by yourself."
Liu Xiaoyu knew Wang Hu's stubborn temper well and did not persuade him anymore. She just turned her head and ordered the two soldiers: "You two stay here and watch him, don't let him run around. I will take the others and Wang Haipeng in and take a look."
When Wang Haipeng heard about entering the secret passage, he looked embarrassed and said worriedly: "If this secret passage really leads to Youzhou, you have to walk a lot of roads. I don't know if my physical strength can hold on. Otherwise, I will bring some dry food before going in, just in case."
Liu Xiaoyu thought for a moment, and felt that he was right, so he nodded in agreement and said, "Okay, then you go and prepare quickly, let's set off as soon as possible."
Wang Haipeng hurriedly turned around to prepare dry food, while Liu Xiaoyu stood at the entrance of the secret passage, waiting for him while secretly thinking about what would happen in the secret passage, and his heart was filled with complex emotions of intertwining caution and expectation.
In the Prime Minister's Mansion, Xi Yu thought about it and finally decided to tell Ouyang Linlin the truth about the matter.
When he came outside Ouyang Linlin's door, Ouyang Linlin inside the room seemed to have telepathy and asked softly: "Is it my husband here?"
Xi Yu responded, then said, "Linlin, if you have a convenient body, come out and I have something to say to you."
Soon after, Ouyang Linlin slowly walked out, her eyes full of confusion. Xi Yu winked at her and lowered her voice, "Linlin, follow me to the corner over there, it's easier to speak here."
Although Ouyang Linlin was not clear, she nodded obediently and followed Xi Yu to the corner, and secretly guessed in her heart that her husband had something important to tell her about her mysterious appearance, and she couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
Ouyang Linlin moved her lotus steps lightly and followed Xi Yu to the corner of the courtyard.
Here is quiet, only the rustling sound of the breeze blowing through the branches and leaves. Xi Yu looked solemn and slowly told Song Shuwen's diagnosis.
"Song Shuwen said that only by finding the rare Forgetful Grass can Xiaohong recover his memory."
When Ouyang Linlin heard this, she frowned slightly and showed a look of pain on her face.
"It seems that it is extremely difficult to find the forgetful grass in this world, just like looking for a needle in a haystack. It seems that the situation is really not optimistic."
Xi Yu said that no matter how difficult it is, he must go and find it himself.
She looked up at Xi Yu and spoke sincerely.
"Husband, this road to seeking medicine must be full of obstacles. I really oppose you going to take risks in person."
Xi Yu shook his head slightly and his eyes were firm.
"Linlin, Xiaohong went out to encounter this because of my arrangement. It is reasonable and I have no choice but to embark on this journey of seeking medicine in person."
Ouyang Linlin wanted to dissuade him again, but saw that Xi Yu looked resolute and was speechless for a moment, and she was silently worried in her heart. After this trip, I wonder how many difficulties and difficulties my husband will face and whether he can return safely.
Xi Yu gently held Ouyang Linlin's hand, his palms were wide and warm, completely wrapping Ouyang Linlin's little hand.
His eyes were sincere and firm, and he looked straight into the depths of Ouyang Linlin's eyes.
"Linlin, you just need to wait at home for peace of mind to wait for me to return. I will definitely return safely, don't worry too much about me. Besides, I really miss my hometown. This trip is a revisiting place, so please relax."
Ouyang Linlin felt the warmth and power coming from Xi Yu's hand. Although she was still full of worry and reluctance, looking at Xi Yu's resolute expression, she also knew that her dissuasion was useless.
She nodded slightly, endured the tears that were about to burst out from her eyes, and said softly: "Husband, then you must be more careful. I will pray for you day and night at home, hoping that you will return soon."
"Linlin, you can rest assured. Now, when Song Shuwen finds the relevant books, it will not be too late to set off officially after I know the clues of the Forget-Asking Grass. I will definitely be fully prepared and will not act rashly. Just put your heart into your stomach."
After hearing this, Ouyang Linlin felt a little calmer, but the worry in her eyes still couldn't completely dissipate. She just nodded obediently and responded to Xi Yu's words.
After Song Shuwen hurriedly returned to the clinic, he did not stop for a moment and plunged into the mountains of medical books.
The light in the museum was dim, and only the oil lamp in front of his desk emitted a faint but firm light.
His eyes were focused and anxious, and his slender fingers quickly passed by the dusty books, carefully searching for clues about the Forgetful Grass.
Time passed quietly in this quiet clinic. Song Shuwen ignored fatigue and hunger, checked page by page and pondered repeatedly.
Finally, after many twists and turns, almost rummaging through the entire clinic's collection, he found precious information in an ancient yellowed and damaged line-mounted medical book.
At that moment, a trace of surprise and excitement flashed in his eyes. After breathing a sigh of relief, he did not bother to sort out the mess in the clinic and rushed to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Song Shuwen stepped into the Prime Minister's Mansion again, and his face could not hide his excitement.
As soon as he saw Song Shuwen, Xi Yu couldn't wait to ask, "Have you got the clue?"
Song Shuwen nodded slightly, reached out to take out the booklet from his arms, handed it to Xi Yu, and said, "Prime Minister, look at this, it is painted with the shape of the Forgetful Grass. However, this Forgetful Grass is extremely rare and usually grows in extremely cold places. I am not sure if it is there, but I only know these clues at the moment."
Xi Yu took the book and looked at the appearance of the Forget-Wretch Grass carefully, his brows frowned slightly, as if he was thinking about something.
After a while, Xi Yu said, "Since that's the case, I will go to the snow-capped mountains to search for it, maybe I will really discover something."
Song Shuwen looked at Xi Yu's resolute look and said softly: "Okay, I can only try my luck. You must be careful when you go here. That snow mountain is not a good place, there are dangers everywhere."
"Don't worry, I will be more careful and will find this Forget-Wretch Grass back," said Xi Yu.
At this moment, Xi Yu suddenly seemed to remember something and then looked at Song Shuwen.
"Doctor Song, thank you for your patience in searching for medical skills. I thought you opposed me from searching but not looking for books or not finding them."
Song Shuwen immediately shook his head, saying that the doctor's parents' hearts.
I will never do anything that is sorry for medical ethics.
"I suddenly thought that I could go to Kunlun Mountain to try it first, but I don't know..."
Xi Yu had this idea, but was afraid that Song Shuwen would be jealous, so Song Shuwen immediately laughed.
"Sir, I understand what you mean, just go."
Xi Yu nodded and finally let Song Shuwen leave.
Xi Yu thought, since that's the case, he would take Xiaohong there.
Of course, I have to talk about this matter with Ouyang Linlin, so he walked towards Ouyang Linlin's room.
When he arrived at Ouyang Linlin's room, Xi Yu proposed to take Xiaohong to Kunlun Mountain to try it because Tuoba Yu recovered his memory the last time.
Ouyang Linlin's eyes lit up immediately. Yes, why did she forget this matter?
"That's great, just take Xiaohong to have a look."
Ouyang Linlin then called Xiaohong over.
Telled this matter to Xiaohong.
Although Xiaohong was still very confused, she also knew that the other party put herself in her shoes and felt a little moved.
"Okay, since that's the case, I'll go."
Xi Yu said, then let’s start tomorrow.
Chapter completed!
