Longevity starts with inheriting a friend's legacy

Chapter 19: By chance, the disaster was diverted to the east
The old man and the young girl who discovered Yun Tianhe's body were obviously a father and daughter. The man was in his thirties, with a dark complexion and dressed in thin cloth. The little girl looked less than ten years old, with two pigtails. Her dirty little face was full of fear, and she was holding her father's arm tightly.

Fang Xu didn't know these two people. They should be villagers from other villages under the jurisdiction of Fenglin Town.

"Where did you two find the body?" Yun Wan asked in a cold tone.

The man looked nervous and didn't dare to speak.

Clang!
Huang Dechuan, who was standing by, saw this and pulled out a machete from the waist of an inspector, holding it against his neck and said sternly, "The lady is asking you a question, speak up!"

The man was so scared that he fell to his knees, and the little girl was so scared that she burst into tears.

"Don't kill my daddy, don't kill my daddy!"

"We found that uncle in Calabash Valley."

Calabash Valley?
Yun Wan frowned slightly, looked at the man and asked again: "Why did you hesitate just now?"

The man kowtowed hurriedly: "I dare not hide it from you, young lady. The Hulu Valley is a medicinal field designated by the Wu family. When I went into the mountains to collect firewood, I accidentally discovered a secret passage. So I sneaked in and planned to collect some medicinal herbs to sell for money..."

As a prominent family in Fenglin Town, the power behind the Wu family even extends to Huangzhou Prefecture. It is not uncommon for them to demarcate an area in Tilan Mountain as a medicinal field.

The father and daughter in front of them sneaked into Hulu Valley with the help of a secret passage to steal medicinal herbs. If the Wu family knew about it, their lives would be in danger, so they didn't dare to tell anyone where they found the body.

"When you saw the body, did you meet other people or pick up other things?" Yun Wan spoke again, but her tone was slightly softer.

The man recalled for a moment and shook his head: "No, when I saw that... that gentleman, he should have just died."

"I thought, since we met him, I couldn't just watch him get eaten by the beasts in the mountains, so I carried him to the charity cemetery in town."

As a martial artist at the ninth level, Yun Wan could clearly feel the subtle changes in the man's expression and knew that he was not lying.

Yun Wan waved at Huang Dechuan, signaling him to put away the knife, and said calmly: "Tell the Wu family not to embarrass this father and daughter."

The man was kind-hearted and prevented his second uncle's body from being eaten by wild beasts, so he had to give him some benefits in the end.

"Okay, send them back."

The person who found the body did not take anything from my second uncle, so there was only one possibility left.

"Have you found the person guarding the charity cemetery?" Yun Wan looked at Huang Dechuan and asked.

“This…” Huang Dechuan’s face changed slightly. Facing Yun Wan’s gaze, he slowly took out a piece of crystal clear purple jade from his sleeve, and tremblingly handed it to him, saying, “Li Tieniu…he died on the way to Qinghe County.”

"This was found out of his mouth."

Looking at the purple jade ornament in Huang Dechuan's hand, Yun Wan recognized it at a glance. It belonged to her second uncle.

"Dead? How did you die?"

Huang Dechuan said with a stiff face: "There are signs that his body has been searched. He must have been robbed by bandits."

Yun Wan frowned slightly when she heard this.

Could it be that the things fell into the hands of those hateful gangsters?
This is a bit difficult to deal with.

She lowered her head in deep thought without saying a word, and everyone in the room didn't even dare to breathe.

"Let's go." After a long time, Yun Wan flicked her sleeves and slowly left the courtyard. Seeing this, Wang Erhu hurriedly bowed slightly to Wang, then caught up with her and left.

Huang Dechuan and others also left, leaving only Fang Xu and Wang in the courtyard.

After everyone left, Wang's legs suddenly went weak and she collapsed to the ground. Seeing this, Fang Xu quickly helped her up.

"I was scared to death..." Wang patted her chest as if she had survived a disaster, "I was really afraid that Miss Yun would chop us all to pieces with a wave of her hand." Fang Xu did not say anything.

He had just put his heart at ease. It was really unpleasant to have his life and death controlled by others!
Yun Wan came to investigate the fire in the charity cemetery and asked the father and daughter about the details of the discovery of the body. It was obvious that she knew that the body wearing the dazzling gold-embroidered boots was sent to the charity cemetery.

Thinking of this, Fang Xu looked at Wang with some gratitude.

If she hadn't imagined the cause of the fire, taken the initiative to turn herself in at the government office, and taken the blame for the fire, this matter would have been difficult to resolve.

At the same time, Fang Xu also secretly thanked Li Tieniu who was guarding the charity cemetery. It was he who was tempted by the money and took the jade ornaments from the corpse and prepared to go to Qinghe County to sell them. This made Yun Wan mistakenly believe that "Yan Shen Zang" was also taken away by Li Tieniu.

Now, the blame has been shifted to the bandits, and the crisis is temporarily over.

Fang Xu felt that if the owner of the dazzling gold-embroidered boots informed the Yun family of the importance of the "Yan Shen Zang", the Yun family would probably send a large number of warriors to wipe out the bandits in Qinghe County.

This can be considered as indirectly gaining benefits for the people of Qinghe County.

"Sister-in-law, go slower." After helping Wang to the couch in the room, Fang Xu turned around and was about to leave, but Wang suddenly stood up and hugged him from behind.

"Brother Fang..."

Two soft lumps pressed tightly against Fang Xu's back, and Wang buried her entire head in his back.

After the shock she had experienced, she really needed some comfort.

Fang Xu stood there stiffly, not daring to move.

After a long time, Wang loosened her arms, lowered her head and whispered softly: "Brother Fang, you must break through the martial arts apprentice stage quickly. I...I will wait for you."

Upon hearing this, Fang Xu sighed slightly, then hurriedly bowed and fled from the temptation of this gentle land.

When we left Wang's courtyard, it was already past noon.

After returning home, Fang Xu continued to stew the blood food and then started his daily practice.

He didn't dare to use "Yanshenzang" during the day, especially now that Yun Wan already knew about the existence of the corpse, so he had to be more careful.

On the street of Fenglin Town, in front of the former Zhang family’s blood food shop.

Lu Zhiyuan was watching some craftsmen restoring the blood food shop. Li Yunshan hurried over and whispered in Lu Zhiyuan's ear, "Master Lu, I found out that the Wu family is indeed planning to intervene in the blood food business. They did not accept the invitation sent by my disciple."

Lu Zhiyuan laughed, stroked his chin and pondered for a moment, "It doesn't matter, I also want to see who is standing behind the Wu family."

"Leave the maintenance of the shop to you, Qingluo..." Lu Zhiyuan shouted to the girl in red next to him, "Come with your father into the mountains."

"Master Lu is going in person..." Li Yunshan was slightly surprised when he heard this. He thought that Lu Zhiyuan had released the news two days ago that he would go into the mountains in person in order to attract some warriors. He never thought that he really planned to go there himself.

"We will open in ten days, so we must have something to show off." Lu Zhiyuan smiled faintly and took Lu Qingluo towards Tilanshan.

"By the way, don't forget to send an invitation to the kid from the Fang family as well." Lu Zhiyuan took a few steps and suddenly turned around and shouted at Li Yunshan.

Beside him, Lu Qingluo, who was dressed in red, curled his lips slightly and said, "Dad, is that kid worth sending an invitation?"

Lu Zhiyuan smiled faintly: "Qingluo, Daddy told you not to underestimate anyone. Don't forget why we came to Fenglin Town."

Lu Qingluo's expression changed slightly, and he followed his father quietly without saying anything more.
