Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Chapter 1648 7 Heart Tablets 29

Old Man Yan had already dug up the treasure well, but he was particularly concerned when he saw that there was a corpse missing from the well. Also, because of the noise of the savages returning just now, Old Man Yan had to hurriedly cover the treasure well again and return to the abandoned village halfway up the mountain.

For a long while, Old Man Yan was still muttering about the disappeared corpse, saying things like "impossible". Yan Hongsha and Mu Dai noticed that the Qingtianpo they had brought and thrown by the stove last night was missing.

Yan Hongsha suddenly felt the surroundings become spooky, and angrily said to her grandfather, who kept muttering "impossible" and "nonsense," "Maybe he's not dead at all. You said you wanted to use his bones to suppress the aura. Maybe he'll wake up on his own after you're gone and crawl out."

Kido also analyzed, "Another possibility is that someone came later and took the person away for a separate burial."

Old Man Yan was a little overwhelmed: "Impossible, impossible!"

"Her throat was cut with a knife, and the blood was all over the treasure well. There's no way she's still alive!"

"Besides, if you can see the bones, you will definitely see the treasures, and no one has touched those treasures!"

Yan Hongsha and Mu Dai unconsciously moved together and retreated half a step. Old Man Yan saw it and only regretted that he had just let the secret slip.

Yan Hongsha was a little worried about Mu Dai's safety at this time, even though the elderly man in front of her was her grandfather. She just learned from him that he had hurt people when he was young, in such a cruel way, and for such a ridiculous reason. She suddenly became worried about Mu Dai.

Because she had been busy before, Yan Hongsha had no time to tell Old Man Yan about the pearls. But now that Yan Hongsha wanted her grandfather to return, she had no choice but to tell him everything. "Grandpa, I found nearly two hundred pearls in Plateau Lake. They are all nearly twenty millimeters in diameter and their luster far surpasses that of other famous pearls produced in the world."

"Especially since these pearls come from the legendary old clams in Plateau Lake, they're at least a hundred years old and are now considered top quality. I'm sure if we handle them well, we can sell them for a good price, and you won't have to worry about the family debt anymore."

Mu Dai wanted to say that she could give her share to Yan Hongsha, but was stopped by Yan Hongsha's eyes. Old Man Yan saw the eye contact between the two girls and guessed that Mu Dai must have similar treasures in her hands, so he began to think about how to let Mu Dai hand over the pearls to their Yan family to sell.

Or, just use the same trick again and take the pearl in Mu Dai's hand for yourself.

Yan Hongsha saw something bad in Old Man Yan's eyes and couldn't help but sneer in her heart. What happened in the past few days really overturned her inherent impression of all her relatives!

She thought that her second uncle Yan Jiuxiao, who loved her, was successful in his career, and was full of vigor and vitality, turned out to be just an ordinary gambler. The only thing that was unusual about him was probably the amount of gambling debts he owed, which was unimaginable for ordinary people.

But her grandfather, who is kind, capable, and meticulous in his work, is a hypocrite and even a criminal with blood on his hands!

Yan Hongsha couldn't help but defend his grandfather, but at the same time he couldn't help but be on guard against him, worried that he would hurt or plot against Mu Dai. Mu Dai was the only one who spent this night as usual, and Yan Hongsha had dark circles under his eyes.

Yiwansan and Cao Yanhua found this place early in the morning. Seeing that Jiang Xinxin and Luo Ren had not returned all night, they felt a little worried. After providing cover for the two in the village, they hurried to Moon Mountain.

After a night, the white-haired woman finally brought up the last thing. She wanted to kill Old Man Yan with her own hands to avenge herself, otherwise she would rather destroy herself than hand over the heart tablet.

Jiang Xinxin was not at all embarrassed about this, and Luo Ren didn't understand what the white-haired woman meant at all. Jiang Xinxin just nodded, and the woman turned around and left.

Luo Ren had a bad feeling in his heart, and Jiang Xinxin wanted to test him, so she said to Luo Ren, "I've made an agreement with her. After she gets revenge herself, she will give me the heart tablet."

Luo Ren's bad premonition came true. "So, the person who killed her was Yan Hongsha's grandfather?"

Jiang Xinxin nodded. "I told you before, that old man has more than one life on his hands. She's kindhearted, so she didn't kill innocent people. She even just scared the people who accidentally strayed in and made them leave quickly."

Luo Ren didn't think there was anything wrong with the white-haired woman going for revenge. He was just worried that Jiang Xinxin's tacit acceptance of Old Man Yan's death would create a rift between her and Yan Hongsha.

Jiang Xinxin didn't care about that. "Yan Hongsha is Yan Hongsha, and Old Man Yan is Old Man Yan. We've never met each other. Besides, it's not like Yan Hongsha doesn't know what Old Man Yan did. But I know she's an upright and kind person."

Luo Ren asked again, "What if Old Man Yan died in the mountains? How are we going to get him out? After all, we're not really here to invest. If someone's gone, even if Yan Hongsha doesn't report it, the police will definitely file a case and investigate if they hear anything."

After the white-haired woman went out, she quickly found Old Man Yan and his group in the abandoned village. She moved quickly and with great strength. Because Jiang Xinxin gave her the opportunity to take revenge, she went straight to Old Man Yan, picked him up and broke his neck.

Before anyone could react, the white-haired woman quickly returned to the cave and stretched her neck in front of Jiang Xinxin.

Jiang Xinxin didn't hesitate and directly took out the heart fragment from the white-haired woman's body. The woman instantly turned into a pile of bones and fell to the ground, turning into ashes.

When the little savage saw her mother disappear, she couldn't help but become agitated. Jiang Xinxin stepped forward and took the amber hanging around her neck, took out the heart fragment inside, and put it back on her. The little savage instantly became much weaker, and even her hair turned a little gray.

Jiang Xinxin quickly transferred her spiritual energy to the child. This child was pitiful. Not only was her mind blocked, but almost all the meridians in her body were blocked. Jiang Xinxin spent a lot of effort to help her clear them.

After Jiang Xinxin and Luo Ren buried the white-haired woman, Luo Ren carried the little savage down the mountain. When they arrived at the abandoned village, everyone was still there. They were collecting firewood and preparing to cremate Old Man Yan so that they could take him away.

This was the result after Yisan San and Cao Yanhua persuaded Yan Hongsha. They analyzed a lot for Yan Hongsha. The first one was that they must not let the villagers come to help carry the old man. After all, the pinch marks on Old Man Yan's neck were really conspicuous, and there were no strong laborers in the village to do this job at all.

Besides, they vaguely guessed that the matter might be related to Jiang Xinxin, so they didn't dare to say too much. They only said that if the villagers knew that someone had died in the mountains, the news would definitely not be concealed. If it got out, they would be summoned by the police. After all, the police needed to confirm the cause of death.

Yan Hongsha's mind was really confused, but she also knew that the current result was already very good. She only needed to be sad about her grandfather's death, and didn't have to worry about him plotting against Mu Dai, nor did she have to worry about the estrangement between them.
