I can record wonders

Chapter 97 The past of the Cheng family, half a wooden comb
Compared with the other courtyards on the mountain, Cheng Mansion is much shabbier.

One mile outside and one mile apart, separated by a corridor, it is divided into two small courtyards.

In the courtyard, there were more servants than flowers and plants, but it seemed to be heavily guarded.

Fu Ning's eyes narrowed slightly. He had already known about the Cheng family's situation through Beard and Senior Brother Gong.

When the "Lang Yu Map" first appeared, the Cheng family was controlled by the Gong family.

At this time, the servants in the Cheng family had actually been replaced by members of the Gong family.

"They are all new faces."

Yun Niang was still as naive as ever. Even if she discovered the changes in the Cheng family, she didn't take it to heart.

On the other hand, Master Bai Lian's face remained motionless, with guard hidden in his eyes.

"Lord Jingshi, please come with me."

The servant didn't seem surprised by the arrival of several people, and led the group directly to the living room.

There was a middle-aged man in the living room. He looked nervous and had a layer of sweat on his forehead. He couldn't help but move around.

Seeing the three of them, their faces suddenly became panicked.

"Yun..."

"Cheng An has met all of you Jingshi adults."

Master Bailian stood at the front, without even looking at Cheng An. He just turned his head and said in a deep voice: "Mother Yun, the rest is up to you to decide."

"As a teacher, no one dares to object if I think about it."

Cheng An, who was lying on the ground, couldn't help sweating profusely when he heard this, and his body couldn't help but tremble slightly.

"Thank you, Master."

Yun Niang bowed and raised her eyes slightly to fall on Cheng An. There was something inexplicable in her eyes.

When Yun Niang was born, her parents left one after another, and she grew up with her second uncle since she was a child.

Maybe when she was a child, she subconsciously regarded the man in front of her as her father.

No one thought that he would become so indifferent later.

When Mr. Cheng beat and scolded him, he turned a blind eye.

When Yun Niang was hungry and cold, he turned a blind eye.

When Mei Niang insulted him, he still turned a blind eye.

The warmth of the past has long been worn away bit by bit.

Yun Niang would never forgive him, but if she wanted to take revenge on him, she had no way of starting. After a long silence, her eyes suddenly became moist and she opened her mouth: "You...get up."

"I just want to get what's mine back."

Cheng An, who was lying on the ground, couldn't help but tremble.

He thought about many possibilities, but he missed this one.

It doesn’t matter if it’s Yun Niang or ‘Lang Yu Tu’.

I have failed my eldest brother after all.

"Yun...Master Jingshi..."

"The villain is ashamed."

Cheng An got up from the ground, but still didn't dare to raise his head, let alone look at Yun Niang.

From the day Yun Niang had an epiphany on Zuowangtan, he knew that such a day would come sooner or later.

But he had obviously rehearsed the next words countless times, but the words still didn't come out smoothly.

"Come with me."

He turned around and walked ahead in despair.

The servant at the door surprisingly didn't stop him.

After leaving the living room, passing through the corridor in the middle, the group came to the backyard.

There was a circle of houses in the backyard, but Cheng An went straight to the one in the corner.

Yun Niang's eyes narrowed slightly. She clearly remembered that this room was originally hung with a copper lock, and Cheng An never allowed others to enter.

But at this time, the copper lock had already disappeared. With a gentle push, the door separated on both sides.

The next moment, a faint musty smell hit my face. This was the smell of time being neglected.

Looking inside, there were countless messy footprints on the dust on the ground.

Those who didn’t know thought it had been robbed by robbers.

From the books scattered on the shelves, you can tell that this was once a study room.

"This... used to be my eldest brother's study."

"The place where he stayed the longest." The eldest brother Cheng An mentioned was naturally Yun Niang's father, Cheng Ping.

Yun Niang's body trembled.

She had been very curious about this house when she was little.

But every time he got close, he would be beaten and scolded.

Unexpectedly...it turned out that this was the place where my father stayed the longest.

No wonder I feel a special sense of intimacy.

"Before my brother died, he asked...he told me some things here."

He originally wanted to say 'Tuogu', but thinking about what he had done, he really couldn't say it.

It was here that Cheng Ping handed Yun Niang, 'Lang Yu Tu' and the Cheng family to him.

But he couldn't hold on to any of the three things.

The study room had long been searched by the Gong family, and the remaining items were of little value.

This time, he brought Yun Niang here just to remember her.

Coming to the desk, Cheng An moved away the messy books and tidied the table again.

"This entire Cheng family... was left behind by my eldest brother."

"It should have been yours."

Cheng An's hand brushed across the table, revealing the original color of the desk.

A trace of ink and a trace of blood.

Seeing this scene, Yun Niang couldn't help but shed two lines of tears.

"My father...how did he die?"

Cheng An's body trembled, and memories gradually filled his tone.

"After much thought, this matter should have something to do with my sister-in-law."

"Sister-in-law... I'm afraid she is not a mortal."

Cheng An didn't say anything, but the three people present knew it.

"At that time, my sister-in-law had just given birth to a baby.

The elder brother and sister-in-law took the infant you out to sea on a red-sailed boat, probably... looking for something. "

At this point, Cheng An's tone paused, but he still didn't say anything.

He suspected that at that time, the eldest brother and sister-in-law went to sea to look for the treasure of "Lang Yu Tu".

But now that the 'Lang Yu Map' is no longer in my hand, I don't know how to explain it.

"Soon, the three of them left and the two returned, but the sister-in-law disappeared. No one knows what happened on the way."

"When the eldest brother came back, he had been severely injured and died soon after."

Cheng An shook his head and sighed.

If the eldest brother was still alive, how could the Cheng family in Zuodeng Lane be like this?

"Before my brother died, there were only two things he couldn't let go of."

"One thing is you as a baby."

Cheng An glanced at Yun Niang and said with a trembling voice: "I am ashamed of my elder brother's advice..."

"Don't mention this matter again." A hint of indifference flashed in Yun Niang's eyes, and she spoke directly to interrupt Cheng An's guilt.

Cheng An couldn't help but feel nervous when he saw this. He shook his head and continued: "The second thing... it should be my sister-in-law."

"My mother?"

Although she had never met her, Yun Niang could not help but feel moved when she heard about her mother.

Cheng An nodded: "Sister-in-law has always been a mysterious person."

"She originally came from outside the island, and she kept her origins secret from her eldest brother."

"Even after marrying my eldest brother, I still seem to be worried about you, so I couldn't wait to go to sea again as soon as I gave birth to you."

"Nobody knew what she was looking for."

"Poor brother, before he died, he was still holding half of my sister-in-law's comb..."

As he spoke, he rummaged around on the desk and finally picked up half a comb among a pile of books.

The comb was only half-length, and it was dark red all over. It looked a bit old.

But Fu Ning's eyes suddenly widened.

The fourth vision on the forehead is full of gold.
