Chapter 153 Chapter 150 The Second Clue
After a month, the courtyard of the clan school where Ji Yuanxi was originally located had been sealed off. After Ji Yuanxi died, things became serious, and the law enforcement team finally started to take care of the matter. Unfortunately, after only a few days, the case was taken over by the military.

This also made it easier for Mu Ning and the others to enter the courtyard of the original aid school. Although it was said to be blocked, there was no one to prevent them from entering. There was only a symbolic yellow blockade tape.

It was easy to get in.

When I came here for the first time, the trees here were covered with art-like snow, and the pear blossoms were in full bloom. Only a month later, the place has changed, and the fruit trees are still there. The landscape created and the people who live here The sick are gone.

I can feel Yin Hongyi's sad emotions beside her.

"Who was in this yard at that time?"

Mu Ning asked, reminding her by the way that they came here to find clues, and now is not the time to look at things and think about others.

"Some servants, some maids, except for them, almost no one has been here before,"

Yin Hongyi said.

"After Ji Yuanxi suffered from a genetic disease, her family seldom came to visit her."

"There are still maids in this era?"

This is no longer capitalism, but even worse feudalism. Mu Ning showed a look of hatred on his face.

"Chaoge is very common. The outside world is not peaceful, and there are countless disasters caused by extraordinary power. Those children are orphans who have been displaced outside. Coming to Chaoge as a maid is a kind of adoption."

Yin Hongyi said.

If you ask again, she is not very familiar with those maids, and she doesn't even know their names, so she can't count on them at all.

After looking around, Yin Hongyi remembered that she was the oldest old woman in the clan school at that time. She was in charge of dispatching the staff in this yard. After Ji Yuanxi died, this old woman retired, went out to sing songs, and went home old age.

"Do you know her address outside?"

Mu Ning said.

"Going out to find her?"

Yin Hongyi felt inconceivable, this should be just a guess, Daxia has a vast land, it seems not a good idea to go to Chaoge to find someone.

"There are only a few clues now. If you give up, there is really no way."

Mu Ning said,

"Every guess must be practiced, otherwise how can there be any gains?"

"...you're right."

Yin Hongyi thought for a while, then agreed.

Just like in the wilderness, Mu Ning proposed to use an ice boat to rush through the tide of wolves and beasts. This idea sounds crazy. After all, the ice boat is fragile, and the wolves are all steel and iron.

As it turns out, that does work.

From the personnel of the Zu Xuetang, Mu Ning and the others found the approximate location of the old woman's hometown. It was actually in Yizhou. She was one of the survivors of the extraordinary disaster "hanging flood". her village.

In theory, her hometown should no longer exist.

"If the old man wants Ye Luo to return to his roots, he should be in Yizhou area. As for the exact location, I happen to have a good perception method."

Mu Ning now has a third level of truth and sophistry. Finding an old woman can be easier through trial and error.

Most importantly, he has a little mastiff with the ability to track thousands of miles. The little guy's ability has not been fully activated, but it should be enough.

After all, he was just an ordinary old man without extraordinary genes.

By plane, they left Chaoge and arrived in Yizhou in a day. Mu Ning hadn't breathed the outside air for a long time, and had been running back and forth between the two small worlds of Tiandu and Chaoge for a while.

There are still strange beasts in some of the high mountains in Yizhou, and the capable Yizhou army is here to defend.

The next step is to rely on the small mastiff's thousands of miles of tracking.

At that time, its parents chased Mu Ning for nearly a thousand miles, hoping that it would not embarrass its parents.

"Can you feel it?"

Mu Ning and the others found some of her daily utensils from the old woman's original residence in the clan school, sniffed them for the little mastiff, and triggered the conditions for thousands of miles of tracking.

"Wang Wang!"

The little mastiff barked.

"found it?"

Mu Ning was overjoyed.

Gouzi shook his head, saying no.

Mu Ning: ...

Yizhou is so big, Mu Ning circled the approximate area on the map, tried and failed with the sense of truth and sophistry, and finally narrowed the distance to the size of a city.

In the end, in a small county town of this city, Gouzi finally played a role and found the old lady.

It took them a day, from morning to night, Gouzi followed his extraordinary ability and led Mu Ning and the others in one direction.

Go to a deserted area that is getting farther and farther away from human habitation.

Some pine trees grow here, and the weeds are treated very cleanly. Under the moonlight, the breeze blows, the pines and cypresses shake slightly, and a desolate atmosphere emerges spontaneously.

This is a cemetery.

A cemetery that has been abandoned for a long time, many tombstones have even been corroded by the wind and rain, and in such a place, there is a new tomb that is very conspicuous.

The soil on the mound is still new, and the flowers on the wreath are still very bright.

Gouzi pointed there.

Mu Ning and Yin Hongyi were silent. They took a look at the tombstone, and it was indeed the old woman's.

It turned out that she was dead.

The other tombstones are all people who died decades ago, most of them died in the same year and in the same village in the extraordinary disaster of the "hanging flood" decades ago.

It seems that the old lady has indeed returned to her roots. After decades, the survivors of the flood returned to her hometown, and a traveler from another country returned to her relatives.

"When the old man left Chaoge, his body should be quite strong."

Yin Hongyi said,
"But she died."

"Well, our lead is broken."

Thinking about it this way, it is true that if the real culprit behind the scenes has been lurking in the Ji Clan Academy and paying attention to Yin Hongyi's movements, then before she leaves, she must erase her footprints.

The old woman who knows the origin and whereabouts of the maids is going to die.

Killed silently.

Yin Hongyi wanted to pay homage to her for a while. This old woman had taken care of her before, but she died because of her.

The night is dark, the cemetery is dense, and a little moonlight falls through the shadows of pines and cypresses, shining on these tombs.

A lantern emerges from the night.

"Who?"

Mu Ning's pupils are powerful, but Gouzi's hearing is even more acute. It immediately found someone approaching, and reminded Mu Ning. Mu Ning turned his head and said.

It was a thin little girl, holding a lantern, her clothes were washed white, and she stood there timidly.

Seeing that it was a little girl, Mu Ning's false perception did not move, and his expression softened for the time being.

"What are you here for?"

"Are you also here to worship grandma?"

The girl finally spoke.

Mu Ning and Yin Hongyi looked at each other, both surprised that the old woman still had her granddaughter.

"You are, Zhang Huixia's granddaughter?"

Mu Ning said that the sense of fallacy is already ringing, which is obviously wrong. All the relatives of the old man have died, and she has no granddaughter.

"No, no, I'm a child of the orphanage. Grandma Zhang has been funding our orphanage. She's gone now. We made an appointment to take turns guarding Grandma Zhang..."

The little girl is not very old, it is really brave to dare to come to the cemetery at this time, and she said in a crying voice.

 Every day until there is not enough time, there is no motivation to code words. This is not acceptable. Set a flag, and in the future [-] words a day, give yourself a little sense of oppression (●''●)
