Chapter 463
After a busy life, the cold room was finally warmed up.

Not long after, Xing Wu sent over the peacock picture and a tael of silver to Xiao He's three people, which was their meal money.

The three of Xiao He were overjoyed, and quickly handed the money to Si Qing, but Si Qing didn't take the money, so he just asked them to pack it up and use it when they went out for dinner in the afternoon.

At night, the inn was silent.

Si Qing took out a note from under the pillow, looked at the words "beside the water tank in the backyard" written on it, his eyes were full of confusion.

She found this note in an empty vase in the room during the day, and the handwriting on it was a bit rusty, but Si Qing recognized it as the original owner's handwriting at a glance.

This shows that the original owner really lived here when he was young, and even stuffed a note into the bottle.

It's just that the original owner was too young at the time, and her memory was rather vague, and Si Qing couldn't remember why she lived here, or why she wrote small notes.

However, Si Qing still took the candle and sneaked into the backyard at night.

After looking around a large water tank in the backyard carefully, I found that a stone slab next to the water tank was cracked and broken into two pieces, one big and the other small.

She hastily put the candle aside, stretched out her small hand and picked the small stone slab first, and the small stone slab was easily removed.

A small hole was dug out inside, and there was a cloth bag the size of an adult's fist in the hole. Si Qing quickly took it out, put the slate back and stepped on it, so that the slate would fall into place.

Then, taking the small cloth bag and the candle, Mimi quietly returned to the room, closed the door, and opened the cloth bag.

But I found that there was only a piece of cloth inside, with "Happy Birthday Daddy" written crookedly.

At first glance, the words belonged to the original owner, so Si Qing worked hard for a long time, and found a birthday gift from the original owner for her father.

Immediately felt speechless.

If it wasn't for the original master, she would have suspected that she had been tricked.

Lying under the quilt, Si Qing looked at the cloth and angrily stuffed it into the bundle beside him.

At the same time, a question arose in my heart, how could the birthday gift prepared by the original owner for her father be hidden in the backyard of Yunlai Inn?
This is not like something done by ordinary pedestrians staying in the hotel.

It's a pity that the original owner was too young at that time, and his memory was blurred or even missing. Si Qing couldn't think of the result for a while.

Simply turned over and fell asleep.

Early the next morning, Si Qing and the others had breakfast early and went to the county government office.

Unlike yesterday in the flower hall, this time several people were directly brought into the inner house.

As soon as they entered the inner house, the three of Xiao He were taken to a secluded wing by Zhao County Magistrate's confidants, where the peacock feathers had been prepared early.

After the three of them entered the house, the woman who took them to catch the feathers yesterday came again, still holding the peacock in her arms.

The peacock had already been stunned and lay motionless on the table, but the three of Xiao He tied up its paws, wings and mouth just to be on the safe side.

Then pick up the peacock feather, and start looking for the corresponding position one by one according to the peacock picture I saw yesterday.

Picking up peacock feathers is much more complicated than picking up chicken feathers. One is that the three of them have never seen a peacock before, and the other is that peacock feathers are long and the feather shaft is extremely hard, so it took a lot of effort to pick up feathers.

Fortunately, the three of them had enough experience, discussed with each other, found the corresponding position one by one, and then began to concentrate on picking up the feathers.

The three of Xiao He were busy in the house.

Si Qing wasn't idle either.

After she and Si Zhengping were brought into the inner house, they were greeted by the county magistrate's wife.

The county magistrate's wife and Si Qing have met before, and they have a good impression of Si Qing, a quirky little girl, and her younger brother Xing Wu and Zhao County Magistrate will talk about Si Qing from time to time.
