Chapter 682 Something Hidden Under the Tree (2)

"I wonder if Dr. Li has paid attention to the yards of other people in this village?"

Li Xianyun looked at Mo Xi, but didn't understand what Mo Xi said.

After a pause, Mo Xi continued: "I have noticed that in this village, almost every family has a small courtyard, but here is the only one with a tree. Other families at most grow some vegetables in the yard. .”

"I don't understand, what does this mean?"

"At first, I couldn't figure it out either. I thought it was just a different hobby of each family in this village, and maybe it was just a coincidence. But after today, I don't think so!" Mo said. Xi smiled mysteriously.

Li Xianyun's eyes flashed, and he suddenly remembered what happened this afternoon.If you look at the position of this tree in the whole big picture, it is exactly the point of the word "salt"!
People in the world often say that if the finishing touch is missing, the whole thing will lack the original aura.

Li Xianyun's eyes lit up.

Seeing Li Xianyun's expression, Mo Xi knew that he understood what he meant.

At the moment, Mo Xi didn't say much, she slowly lowered her body, pointed the wooden stick in her hand at the ground, and dug up.

Li Xianyun glanced at it, then walked to Mo Xi's side and helped her dig it up.

The small courtyard became quiet again, but there were two more figures under the big tree.

The old man got up at night, and when he passed the yard, he glanced at the figure squatting under the tree, and his body froze immediately, with a little coldness in his eyes: "Who is it?"

Mo Xi stood up slowly, and behind her, a hole appeared, and in the hole, there was an opened box, holding an account book in Mo Xi's hand.

When seeing this scene, the old man's eyes were full of shock, his hands trembled, and even his voice trembled: "Who are you?" Before this, the old man had never doubted the identity of the person in front of him. After all, after they came, they didn't do anything. Instead, they benefited the village. Even their grandson's face was healed by the person in front of him.

But now, when the person in front of him said that the account book was in his hand, the old man had to doubt the intentions of the person in front of him.

"Grandma, don't be afraid, I don't want to harm you."

"If this is the case, then put the things in your hands back and don't rummage again."

Mo Xi lowered her head and glanced at the things in her hand.

It is an account book. As for what is recorded on it, the answer is self-evident. It is an account book for illegal salt sales. It clearly records the amount of illegal salt sales five years ago. However, this account book seems to be incomplete.From the simple reading just now, Mo Xi came to this conclusion.

Mo Xi raised her head and looked directly at the old man in front of her without any evasion: "Grandma, I don't know why you have such a thing, but since I found this thing, I can't put it back. Don't hide it from grandma. This thing is of great use to me, or in other words, why I appeared in Yangzhou, and why I fell to such a point, is all because of this thing!"

The woman's calm words were full of firmness. Although she was wearing a coarse jacket, at this moment, the woman exuded an aura that no one could ignore.

The old man's gaze sank, and he clearly noticed that the identity of the woman in front of him was unusual.

"I can't give you this thing, you must keep it, girl, listen to the old woman's advice, that is definitely not a good thing, if you hold it, you will only be unlucky, put it down!" The old man's words were somewhat gentle, with comfort .

Mo Xi smiled and shook her head: "Grandma, I know very well what this thing means, so I want to take it away. I think the person who hid it back then also hoped that someone would find it .”

After hearing what Mo Xi said, the old man's eyes flickered, as if Mo Xi really guessed right.

"Who are you guys? What do you want to do with this thing?"

"Don't worry, grandma, we are not bad people. As for who we are, please forgive me for not being able to tell you for the time being, but I can assure grandma that the bad luck of this village will end when I find the next half of the things. In the future, no miserable people will walk into this village, and the people in this village will be able to live in peace."

As Mo Xi spoke, there was a soft light on her face.

Li Xianyun tilted his head slightly, catching Mo Xi's expression in his eyes. At that moment, he saw from the face of the woman beside him a kind of great kindness and compassion, a kind of demeanor of grace to the world. This kind of aura is not something that ordinary people can possess.

"What you said is true?" The old man had doubts in his eyes.Although she could feel that the person in front of her was not a bad person, she still couldn't give such an important thing to the person in front of her!

"I can promise."

"This old man, just trust my master. If there is anyone who can end those people's tragic fate, then this person must be my master." This was the first time Li Xianyun called Mo Xi's master in front of others.

Mo Xi glanced at Li Xianyun in surprise, and then smiled.

Mo Xi knew that the sound of master represented the affirmation of her identity!
"Girl, it's not that the old lady doesn't believe you, but that the meaning of that book is too great. If it falls into the wrong hands, it will probably bring disaster to the entire village. Such a crime is too heavy. The old lady can't bear it!" The old man said a little excitedly.

Mo Xi's eyes flickered, she could understand the old man's worry, but she couldn't give this thing to the old man, she had to take it away.

"Grandma, no matter what you say, I will definitely get this account book!"

For a moment, the atmosphere froze there, and no one spoke again. Mo Xi looked at the person in front of her without flinching in the slightest.

After a long time, just when Mo Xi thought she had to take other measures, the old man in front of her spoke.

"I can give you something, but I have one condition."

"What conditions."

"Take Mu Yuan out of this place." She is old and her life is coming to an end, but Mu Yuan is still a child with a bright future, she can see that these people's identities are unusual, if Mu Yuan can follow them, The future is bound to be limitless.

She is taking that thing in exchange for a bright future for her grandson!

Mo Xi raised her head with surprise in her eyes, she never thought that the old man would make such a request.

However, she could somewhat understand the painstaking efforts of the old man.

"Okay, I promise, in the future, I will treat Mu Yuan as my younger brother. As long as I, Mo Xi, are around, I will not let Mu Yuan suffer!"

Hearing this, a slight smile appeared on the old man's face...
