Chapter 48 The Unfounded Treasure Holder

In the morning, the food is simple: sorghum rice porridge and pickled wild vegetables.

The little kid was shoveling porridge from his bowl, glancing at the two adults in front of him who were exchanging glances.

Something is wrong. There is something wrong with these two people!
"elder sister."

"elder sister."

"what?"

Su Yunjin turned around and looked at the little kid.

"Where did you go last night? I got up in the middle of the night to pee and didn't see you."

Su Yunjin's face turned red when she heard this. She glanced at Chen Jie and picked up her bowl to hide her embarrassment.

"You look at your brother-in-law, what are you doing, brother-in-law, do you know?"

The little boy turned and looked at Chen Jie.

Chen Jie was very calm. He took a sip of porridge and said, "Oh, Ruirui is so good now. He doesn't wet the bed anymore? Your sister told me that you were still wetting the bed when you were four years old!"

"Well, brother-in-law, I haven't wet the bed for a long time. Ruirui is already a big boy!"

Ruirui suddenly became anxious.

Chen Jie smiled when he saw this. A little brat is a little brat. He immediately said, "Really? But Ruirui still looks very young."

"Brother-in-law, let me tell you, Ruirui is five years old this year, and he hasn't wet the bed since he was five."

"Really? Ruirui is so powerful now?"

"Uh-huh."

"Okay, very good. Since Ruirui has performed so well, I will buy you some delicious food today, okay?"

"it is good!"

Ruirui shouted excitedly, having long forgotten that he had not seen his sister last night.

Su Yunjin glanced at Chen Jie with gratitude in her eyes.

Chen Jie responded with an expression that said, "It's no big deal."

Not to mention dealing with a little kid, even with his former business partners, he rarely gave way to criticism, so how could he be stumped by a kid?

After eating, Chen Jie said goodbye to Su Yunjin.

He originally wanted to give the money he got yesterday to Su Yunjin, but after thinking about it, he felt that giving her so much money rashly might not be a good thing, as it would easily make her worry.

So Chen Jie didn't give her any money, thinking that she could just go buy some things when she had time.

Now that I have more money, I will buy two new sets of clothes for the two sisters.

Su Yunjin's clothes are still patched. Although she is naturally beautiful and patched clothes do not affect her appearance, why should Su Yunjin live such a hard life now that her life has become better?
When I walked out of the house, I saw a few people who looked like servants and were dressed in black on the street, asking questions to a few women in the village.

The women were talking and gesticulating, and the servants were completely confused.

Chen Jie was passing by when he heard the woman say, "Let me tell you, the golden pheasant you were asking about must have been taken away by that foreign treasure hunter."

"A foreigner holding a treasure?"

"Yes, we saw it with our own eyes."

"Did you see it with your own eyes?"

Several servants looked at the village woman, and she said, "Of course it's fake, it came down from the beam in front, and we were washing clothes, we saw it for real."

"What time did that happen?"

"It's the morning hour."

"Yes, when I left home, it should have been 3:30 am, but I didn't get there until 5 pm..."

"What does that treasure-holding person look like?"

Several servants asked, and after hearing this, a woman said, "He is so tall and looks not thin, so he should not be a farmer."

The woman gestured with her hands: "You are wearing a bamboo hat, so I can't see clearly, but you must be in your thirties, right, second sister-in-law?" "About the same. You look old from the wind and sun, probably only about twenty-eight or twenty-nine."

A few women, talking to each other, managed to create the appearance of a chivalrous hero.

He was seven feet tall, muscular, wearing a black shorts, a bamboo hat, and carrying a sack...

There was a painter following the servant, who painted according to the description and asked questions to the women from time to time.

Several women were talking at the same time.

"Second sister-in-law, do you have anything to add?"

"I need to keep my face in check. Oh, there's another scar on my face, on the left side."

"Um, does the second sister-in-law have it?"

"Yes, you didn't notice."

"Well, is there any?" asked the servant.

"Yes, yes!"

Finally the painter drew a picture of a chivalrous hero, and the servants looked at it and thought that this was a good enough job.

At this time, Chen Jie came over from home.

"Stop, where are you going?"

Chen Jie looked at the servants and said, "Who are you? Why are you stopping me?"

"Stop talking nonsense and just answer my question!
The aunt at the side said, "Jiu Si, from the family of Master Yu in the town."

"Oh, oh, you ask."

Chen Jie nodded, as if he had just realized something. Several servants looked at Chen Jie and asked, "Did you see someone coming down the mountain with a sack on his back the day before yesterday?"

"I don't know this?"

"Ok?"

The servants immediately became suspicious and looked at the women. The women immediately looked at Chen Jie anxiously and said, "Jiu Si, think carefully, is there anyone wearing a bamboo hat?"

Seeing this, Chen Jie said innocently, "My dear aunts, I have been studying medicine with Doctor Bai recently. I have been reciting the Pharmacopoeia every day. My head is like paste. I really can't remember it."

After hearing this, the women said, "Yes, Jiu Si is busy studying every day, so he doesn't have time to pay attention to this."

Chen Jie said as he looked up at the servants and said, "Brothers, I really didn't see anything. So, why don't you come with me to my master's house? My uncle Wu Zhong is always out, why don't you go ask him!"

"OK?"

Chen Jie looked at the servants and said this. Upon hearing his words, the servants' faces suddenly became extremely embarrassed.

Who do they think they are? If you ask Wu Zhong, you are really asking for too little.

Who is Wu Zhong? He is the manager of the fish pen of the fishing gang and is on equal footing with his own master. If he goes to question him himself, isn't that courting death?

Moreover, the young man in front of him was no ordinary person. He was Doctor Bai's apprentice. Everyone knew that Doctor Bai was protective of his disciples, and Wu Zhong listened to Doctor Bai the most.

Thinking of this, several servants immediately changed their expressions and said to Chen Jie with a smile: "Haha, little brother, you are joking. You are the disciple of Doctor Bai, how can you have time to pay attention to this? I won't waste your time. Go and study."

Chen Jie smiled and said, "Okay, I'll be leaving now. By the way, why are you asking about this?"

Several servants immediately shook their heads: "Nothing, nothing."

Chen Jie said: "It's mysterious."

Then he went straight to Doctor Bai's house, leaving only a few servants standing here to continue asking others: "Did you see it the day before yesterday..."

After going around the entire Xiantao Village, I finally came to the conclusion that there must have been a stranger wearing a bamboo hat who passed by here that day.

How did you know that?

Three people can make a tiger, and gossip can melt gold. When a rumor spreads throughout the whole village, it is no longer a rumor.

Chen Jie knows how terrible this rumor is, so Yu Biao, you should first go and look for this chivalrous hero with a bamboo hat and a scar on his face!
And I want to stay hidden and grow!
