The maid Qiao'er had just rubbed her sleepy eyes and was getting ready to go to work, but she was shocked to see her young master leaving the house so early today.
She hurriedly followed him with small steps.
"Master, do you have any orders?"
"Tell Uncle Hong to come find me in the study."
"Yes, slave..."
Qiaoer blinked, as if he suddenly thought of something, and then suddenly raised his head and looked at Qin Shaoyou, but the latter had already turned around and walked out of the yard.
"What are you doing standing there in a daze? Go quickly!"
Qin Shaoyou didn't look back, but he seemed to have seen Qiaoer's shocked expression.
"Oh oh oh, okay young master!"
Qiaoer hurriedly rushed towards the other exit.
Soon, within an hour, the entire Baiyun Villa’s servants knew the exciting news: the young master’s dementia was cured!
Qin Shaoyou came to the study, first pushed everything on the original bookcase to the ground, and then dragged the bookcase to the study near the door.
Then, he rummaged through boxes and cabinets to find a stick of incense, and finally found a map of the boundaries of Qingshi County from a bookshelf somewhere.
Qin Shaoyou laid the map flat on the desk and pressed down the four corners with a few pieces of jade for table legs.
He searched on it for a while, marked the location of Yanjia Fort, and looked carefully westward along the Wuyang Mountains until he reached the Supreme Immortal Gate in the center of the map, as if he was looking for something.
At this moment, Lao Hongcai, who heard the report from his servants, rushed in from the door in a hurry.
"ah!"
"Master, what are you doing?!"
Lao Hong was shocked.
He was very aware of Qin Shaoyou's physical condition. Because he was born weak, Yan Xun had already told him not to let Qin Shaoyou do anything that consumes his physical strength, otherwise he would be dealt with according to the family law.
Therefore, over the years, Qin Shaoyou has indeed become accustomed to such a pampered and pampered young master.
However, his ambition will definitely not stop there!
"Master, what are you looking for? Why don't you let those servants come to find you?!"
"If something happens to you, Lao Hong, how can I explain it to the head of the family?"
As Lao Hong spoke, his eyes turned red.
In the early days, Hong Yun traveled around the world and made enemies with many people. Even his first wife was killed. If he hadn't met Yan Xun in the end, he would have lost his life long ago.
Later, Yan Xun not only helped him avenge his death, but also paid for his wife's burial.
So Lao Hong swore at that time that he would be loyal to Yanjiabao for the rest of his life and would never change his mind!
Yan Xun knew Lao Hong's character well, so he was relieved to leave Qin Shaoyou under his care.
And after more than ten years, Lao Hong almost regarded Qin Shaoyou as his own child.
"Uncle Hong, don't make such a fuss, I'm not that delicate yet."
Qin Shaoyou couldn't help but smile. He immediately waved to Lao Hong and said:
"Come on, I have something to ask you."
Only then did Lao Hong hurriedly come over.
"I heard from my father that when my mother was pregnant with me, she suddenly felt unwell one night. That night, you took Pegasus Feixuan and took my parents to the Supreme Immortal Sect to find someone for help?"
This matter was actually a top-secret matter in the entire Yanjiabao, because Qin Shaoyou's "resurrection from the dead" was too strange. Later, before they left, Xu Hefeng warned them not to leak the matter, otherwise it would cause a lot of trouble.
Unnecessary trouble.
Yan Xun and his wife kept this in mind, and Lao Hong naturally kept it secret. These three people had never told anyone, including Qin Shaoyou.
And now, Qin Shaoyou knows this not because Yan Xun told him, but because this is one of the only things he can remember after recovering his consciousness!
After all, he was also a witness at that time.
"The head of the family...has told the young master?"
Lao Hong said in shock.
"It's not like he said it to me, but I heard it once when my father and my mother were arguing..."
"Hey, don't talk about this, tell me quickly, what was your route that night?"
Qin Shaoyou urged half-truthfully.
At this time, Lao Hong scratched his head in embarrassment and did not want to ask any more questions.
He took a step forward and took a closer look.
"It happened suddenly that night and I was walking in a hurry. I remember that after leaving the Wuyang Mountains, I flew straight west..."
"Oh, right!"
After Lao Hong's eyes scanned the map, he stopped at a certain valley.
"There seemed to be a fire there that night. It was a big fire, as if a heavenly master was fighting with a monster. There was a lot of movement!"
"I was afraid of causing unnecessary branches, so I deliberately went around to the south."
Qin Shaoyou's heart moved, and his eyes followed Lao Hong's finger and landed on a place called "Lingdong Valley".
This place is located about three hundred miles west of the Wuyang Mountains, and not far to the southeast of Lingdong Valley, there is a small mountain village called Lingdong Village.
"Um?"
"Mountain village?"
Qin Shaoyou frowned slightly.
He remembered very clearly that after his immortal soul left the body, he searched a large circle around his "remains" and found no one. If he had "fallen" in Lingdong Valley, he would definitely not have discovered this.
From the village!
It seems that there is little chance that the place where he fell will be in this place.
"Is there anything special about it?"
Lao Hong blinked a few times, not knowing exactly what Qin Shaoyou wanted to do.
However, although he had doubts in his mind, he immediately looked at the map carefully.
"Um..."
"That night, my thoughts were all on the road. Apart from the fact that there was too much movement in this place, I didn't remember anything else..."
Lao Hong tilted his head and thought for a long time. Suddenly, his face changed and he said uncertainly:
"When we went back, we were not in a hurry, so we flew a little slower. Madam took a nap on the flying pavilion for a while. When she woke up, she said she had dreamed of a very special place..."
A special place?
Qin Shaoyou's heart moved and he hurriedly asked:
"What kind of dream was it? Did my mother say anything specific about it?"
Lao Hong nodded repeatedly and replied:
"My wife said that the dream was so real, it was like she appeared there in person!"
"Well... I seem to remember that Madam said that there was a very remote valley. The valley was full of gravel, and there was a bloody corpse lying in the gravel..."
"There was also an insect as big as a human head lying on the body. When he saw the lady, he pounced on her!"
"Madam was almost scared to tears, so I still have the impression..."
Valley, gravel, corpses, bugs?
Qin Shaoyou couldn't help but gasped.
This seems to be very consistent with his situation at that time!
As for that bug...
It should be his spiritual pet, the spirit-eating ant!
In this way, the scene that Song Yuyu dreamed about may be the real place where he fell!
If so, then his lost souls may be near this valley!
However, the distance from the Wuyang Mountains to the Supreme Immortal Gate is no less than a few thousand miles. There are countless valleys with gravel in them. Even if Qin Shaoyou followed the route Lao Hong and the others traveled that night, there would be hundreds of them.
!
"Besides the gravel everywhere, does the valley have any other features?"
"Like, is there a creek? Is there a boulder, etc.?"
Qin Shaoyou thought for a while and asked.
But this time, Lao Hong shook his head without thinking.
"I don't know the specific name of Lao Hong. The young master can ask his wife..."
But when the word "ma'am" came up, Lao Hong didn't know what he thought of, but he suddenly swallowed the rest of his words.
"Okay, Uncle Hong, I'm just a little curious. Let's not talk about it anymore. I called you here today because I actually have something else to ask for your help with."
