Chapter 84: First Meeting He Qiyan
What happened in Huang Xin’s home.
It's not as simple as an ordinary thief stealing.
Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain the strange situation under the century-old tree in the yard.
now.
Under the towering tree that caught Zhang Yang's eyes, huge holes were dug one after another.
Tree roots that have been buried in the soil all year round are exposed to the air.
It's obvious.
This kind of behavior is not something a thief can do.
How to say?
More like a treasure hunt?
This explanation would be more appropriate.
Residents living in old residential areas are so poor that even if they do somersaults, they may not even be able to drop a steel coin out.
If the thief couldn't find anything in the house, why would he attack this big tree?
Vaguely.
Zhang Yang felt that this matter might have something to do with him.
Because, his home also had a thief some time ago.
Although it is not as rough as the one here, just dig out the roots of the tree.
But his intuition told Zhang Yang that the other party was most likely coming for him.
After all, he once lived here.
Zhang Yang looked up at the big tree. When he was a child, he often played under the tree in the shade.
Then, he climbed directly up.
Stop five or six meters above the ground.
Zhang Yang stared at the triangular mark he made when he was a child and took out the knife he had brought with him.
He knocked on the thick trunk, found a hollow, and cut open the trunk with a knife.
Suddenly, a hole appeared in the tree trunk.
Zhang Yang reached out and took out something wrapped in a small red cloth.
Open the red cloth and inside is a token.
There are nine dragons carved on it, and a word "Zhang" is guarded in the middle.
Zhang Yang doesn't know what the specific function of this token is.
But according to my adoptive father.
When he took him home, this token and a jade pendant were tied to his body.
The jade pendant was always worn by Zhang Yang, but this token was a little too public, so he hid it.
Perhaps, this token is related to the disappeared jade pendant and Zhang Yang's life experience.
However, Zhang Yang currently has little interest in his own life experience.
If it weren't for Huang Xin and her daughter, they would have sold the house.
Zhang Yang would even hide this token in a tree trunk forever.
Coming down from the tree, Zhang Yang put the token in his pocket.
I watched at the door for a while.
Finding that no one was paying attention to him, he walked towards the car parked at the corner not far away.
During this time, everyone goes out to work.
No one noticed anything unusual in Huang Xin's home.
Zhang Yang parked his car in a parking space near the bus station and walked towards home.
Return home.
Zhang Yang played with the token in his hand for a while.
Finding that there was still no clue, he put it under the pillow and ignored it.
…
The other side.
The Qin family's guard captain stood in front of Qin Shengnan and reported the whole incident.
"Miss, we followed your instructions and searched Huang Xin's house, but we found no suspicious or similar items."
Didn't find it again?
Obviously, Qin Shengnan was very dissatisfied with this answer.
However, the Qin family's guard captain handled matters personally, so she was very relieved.
Because this person was promoted by her herself.
Qin Shengnan frowned.
I don’t understand where Zhang Yang will be hiding!
At first, Qin Shengnan personally searched Zhang Yang's home but found nothing.
Then, they used the Inspection Department to arrest Zhang Yang and search his whole body, but they still didn't find what the junior brother wanted.
Now, Qin Shengnan ordered people to dig through the place where Zhang Yang lived when he was a child.
Still not found!
Where is the thing that my junior brother wants hidden?
"You go down first." Qin Shengnan waved his hand in annoyance and asked the guard captain to leave.
After repeated defeats, Qin Shengnan gradually lost his patience.
I'm afraid this matter cannot be delayed any longer.
Otherwise, there will definitely be no way for the junior brother and the master to explain.
"It's a pity that the master didn't let me alert him, otherwise it would have been easier just to arrest Zhang Yang!" Qin Shengnan said angrily.
It seems that now we can only start somewhere else.
Qin Shengnan thought to himself.
Suddenly, a phone call came in.
Seeing the caller's name, Qin Shengnan's eyes showed surprise.
When I was really sleepy, someone gave me a pillow.
"What? Are all your injuries healed? When do you plan to come back?"
…
After resting at home for a while, it was time for dinner.
Buying a car today, Zhang Yang thought it was time to celebrate.
So I went out and bought some food and drinks.
Then he walked towards Uncle He's house, hoping to have a drink with this old man.
but.
When he arrived at Uncle He's house carrying his things.
In the yard, a beautiful and busy figure made Zhang Yang stunned.
"Didn't this old man tell me that he has no wife, no children? Then who is this woman?"
suddenly.
Zhang Yang thought of the possibility that the news about the demolition of old residential areas had already leaked out.
Some women want to take shortcuts and try to deceive Uncle He.
In the name of taking care of him, he inherited Uncle He's demolition money.
Zhang Yang secretly kept an eye on it, walked in, and shouted.
"Uncle, where are you? I bought some food and drinks."
"Quickly grab two kilograms of sweet potatoes from your wine vat and burn them. Let us eat a few of them tonight."
Uncle He inside the house was always paying attention to what was going on outside the yard.
Hearing Zhang Yang's arrival, he walked out of the house with a melancholy look on his face.
Without squinting, he ignored He Qiyan's eager gaze.
Uncle He walked towards Zhang Yang with a pot of wine.
"You kid, you haven't come to see me for many days, have you fallen into the land of tenderness?" Uncle He scolded with a smile.
"Look at what you said, I am that kind of person, mainly because I have been too busy recently." Zhang Yang smiled sarcastically.
Then he placed the snacks in his hands on the stone table in the yard.
Zhang Yang glanced at He Qiyan who was busy in the kitchen in the yard and joked.
"If we compare Wenrou Township with you, I might be a little behind."
"The beauty should be about the same age as me, right?"
Phew~
The wine that Uncle He had just poured into his throat spurted out.
"You brat, what are you talking about? What kind of person am I?"
Zhang Yang shrugged noncommittally, "Hmm, isn't this right in front of you?"
"This...sigh." Uncle He sighed and smiled bitterly.
"This little girl is the widow of my old friend. I adopted her for a while when she was a child."
ah?
Zhang Yang looked embarrassed and said a little ashamed.
"So that's it. I misunderstood. I thought..."
Uncle He waved his hand nonchalantly.
Looking at He Qiyan's busy back, his face was very troubled.
last night.
After He Qiyan got drunk, he lay down on the stone table in the yard and fell asleep.
I woke up this morning as if nothing was wrong.
When I went out to buy groceries, why did the uncle prepare breakfast, lunch, and the dinner he is currently cooking?
Uncle He was still resenting what happened back then, so no matter how He Qiyan screamed, he didn't come out.
However, He Qiyan did not complain and continued cooking dinner.
Seeing this, I decided to stay here.
"Stay and have dinner together tonight?" Uncle He said, looking at Zhang Yang.
"Of course, that's why I came here for dinner," Zhang Yang said with a cheeky smile.
Anyway, he has been working with Uncle He quite a lot.
Later, Zhang Yang asked curiously.
"Uncle, why haven't I heard you mention your granddaughter before?"
Uncle He took out the cheap cigarettes in his pocket and lit one.
He blew out a puff of smoke to cover up his sad look and shook his head.
"You're not my biological son, old man. What's there to say?"
Uncle He obviously didn't tell the truth, but Zhang Yang didn't press him.
He opened the snacks he bought, filled their glasses with white wine, and said with a smile.
"Okay, let's not talk about the past. Let's settle the matter first."
"Haha, okay, let's take two bites first."
Throughout this day and night, Uncle He was also very distressed, irritable, and melancholy.
Now that Zhang Yang comes to him for a drink, he naturally wants it.
In the kitchen.
He Qiyan, who was busy, finally smiled when he saw Uncle He.
A smile appeared on her face as she held two plates of freshly cooked dishes.
Walked out of the kitchen, wanting to join Zhang Yang and Uncle He.
but.
As soon as He Qiyan's front feet came closer, Zhang Yang's expression became unnatural.
Even the dishes in He Qiyan's hands are full of color and flavor.
But it still couldn't cover up the fragrance of He Qiyan's body.
This taste...
Zhang Yang is so familiar!
