Chapter 80 There is a big gift when parting

Pei He was tall and thin. Although he was only one year older than Wu Xin'an, he was already one head taller than her. He lowered his head and looked at Wu Xin'an deeply. Seeing that the broken hair on her forehead was blown by the wind, he couldn't help but raise his hand, but then he let go of it and said quietly,

"You... take care of yourself!"

Wu Xinan nodded and grinned at him.

"Take care too!"

Pei He nodded and said slowly after a while,

"You saved my life... I will tell you a secret, which is to thank you for your life-saving grace. From then on, we will not owe each other!"

He said something a little erotic, but Wu Xinan knew his cold and arrogant personality. He understood that he did not want to owe others favors, but he didn't care and just asked,

"What's the secret?"

Pei He hesitated for a moment,

"I know where the gold, silver and treasures that Junichi Fujiwara brought from Japan to the Central Plains are hidden..."

Junichi Fujiwara came from Japan across the ocean to capture Daqing officials and the high-ranking Emperor Daqing to gain support from Daqing's family. Therefore, the treasure he carried with him was naturally valuable. Before he died, he kept saying that he wanted to buy his life with money, but because Wu Xin'an and Doctor Jin were unmoved, he was killed neatly. If Pei He didn't speak, the treasure would be sank to the sea and would never appear!

Wu Xinan blinked in surprise when she heard this. She thought that those things were in the yamen and were confiscated.

"Hasn't Fujiwara Junichi's gold, silver and treasures been searched by people in the yamen?"

Pei He shook his head,

"He brought a lot of gold, silver and treasures to the Central Plains. The house was just a temporary place for him to settle down, and he would not put things in the house!"

"Then...where did he put it?"

Pei He bent down and said a few words in her ear, then straightened his body.

"You will definitely find it when you go here!"

Wu Xinan looked up at him, her big eyes were almost cramped when she blinked. The curious heart couldn't hold it down.

"You...how do you know that he hid something there? What is the origin of you... and why are you so clear about Junichi Fujiwara?"

Pei He pursed his lips tightly and didn't say anything. Wu Xin knew that he was unwilling to say it again, so she couldn't help but sigh.

"I don't know when we will meet again. Can't you tell me the truth? Is it really good that I'm so stinging with my heart?"

Her tone was grim, her cheeks were bulging, and her little face became more and more round and cute. Pei He pulled the corners of his mouth and showed a smile. Finally, he couldn't help but raise his hand and stroked her eyes with the broken hair.

"I don't want to recall those things, so let them go with the wind! You just need to remember that many of them will be very eye-catching when you take them out. Don't take them out and change them even if you want to change them, so as not to get into trouble!"

"Um!"

Wu Xinan obediently listened to his orders and nodded,

"Don't worry, I won't move easily..."

Thinking about it,

"How about half of these things? You must need money when you arrive in the capital. If you write a letter to tell me the address, I will find a way to ask someone to send it to you..."

Pei He looked up at the sky after hearing this, and stopped the dampness and heat in the corners of his eyes.

He had a rough life, but he had never met someone as good as him!

When he lowered his head, his expression still looked faint,

"Let's talk about it when I arrive in the capital!"

"good!"

After saying what to say, Pei He did not delay any longer and quickly stepped onto the carriage. Wu Xin'an chased after him for two steps. Seeing the carriage slowly start, the wheels rolled up with yellow dust. Wu Xin'an waved his hand desperately and shouted,

"Take care! You guys have to take care!"

Dr. Jin heard her call, lifted the curtain and waved at her.

"Girl, go back!"

Wu Xinan chased after a few steps, and as he watched the carriage gradually disappear and never see each other again, he stopped and raised his hand to touch his face, and felt a little wet. Thinking that he would not meet them again from now on, he couldn't help but lower his head and shed tears.

"I finally got a few friends who were interested in it and were about to separate... They have now gone to the capital, and I don't know where I will go with my father in the future, I'm afraid this farewell will be forever!"

Thinking of this, tears fell even more violently!

Although Wu Xin'an was careless, he was really moved and became out of control. So he squatted on the official road paved with loess and burst into tears.

It was just after the first month of the year, and there were many people coming and going on the official road. The old man who was driving the car saw a little girl squatting on the side of the road and crying miserably, so he came over to persuade her,

"My little lady, I'm out to see her relatives... I think I can't bear to leave you, so you don't have to be sad. Goodbye this year, and I'll see you again next year!"

As he said that, he helped her get up.

"Are you going to enter the city? How about I take you there?"

Wu Xinan sobbed and got on the carriage, and after a while he came back to respond,

"I am my good friend. They went to the capital and I don't know when they will see each other again!"

As he said that, tears fell down again, and the old man who was driving the car comforted her and said,

"The sky is far away, thousands of miles apart, and it is difficult to meet again and again. The separation of life and death is the most difficult. You don't have to be afraid. You are still young and have a long life in the future. As long as you miss it in your heart, you will meet one day!"

After receiving the old man's comfort, Wu Xinan stopped crying when she returned to the city, but she was in a bad mood. She was so sad that she couldn't lift her energy for three days. She even reduced her three meals a day. Seeing this, her mother was frightened and hugged her and cried.

"My little lady, what's wrong with you? You don't even eat. Isn't this killing my old slave?"

This room was about to report to Wu Hongwen, and Wu Xinan hurriedly stopped him,

"Mom, don't go, I... I can't let go of some things in my heart. I'll be fine if I stay there for another two days!"

Mother Guan was relieved when she heard this and advised her,

"My little lady! I can't let go of anything and I can't stop eating. If this person has a mistake, he will have no thoughts!"

Wu Xinan nodded,

"Mom, I know!"

Now, two days later, I finally recovered my energy. Then I remembered Pei He and Junichi Fujiwara's treasure, and said in his heart,

"It's okay if I didn't know it before, but now I know it, so I have to go and see it!"

So the day before, Wu Xinan claimed leave to Master Miao. When she left the house early the next morning, everyone in the Wu Mansion thought that the eldest lady was going out to the boxing gym as usual, and no one asked about her whereabouts.

Wu Xinan left his home and headed straight for Wenchang Lane. The house bought by the Japanese pirates was in Wenchang Lane. Now he was a traitor and was filled with a slaughter. There was also a seal of the yamen on the black painted gate. Wu Xinan stood in front of the door and looked at it, then turned around and drilled into the alley next to it. The alley went straight to the back of the house, connecting to the east bridge outside.

There are dense river channels in Hangzhou city, with ditches crisscrossing. There is a river channel outside Wenchang Lane. However, due to the silt rivers in the past, and there are few ships, it is already half blocked. When Wu Xin'an went to the East Bridge, he saw that the river water at the bottom was pitch black and emitted a faint stench.

Because of the blockage in front of the city, this place became stagnant, and nearby residents discharged domestic sewage into it. Over time, the river water was polluted and it was stinking. Passers-by around here had to cover their noses and hurriedly pass by, and no one wanted to take a look in the river.

Wu Xinan stood on the bridge, pinched her nose and looked for a while, and cursed in her heart,

"Then Junichi Fujiwara is indeed a different mindset. He actually hid things here. I don't know how they can resist the smell!"

After watching the terrain on the bridge, I turned to the north and got off the bridge and drilled into the alley made of low houses near the river. This place was a gathering place where all walks of life were gathered. Many private prostitutes hid in it. When they saw someone entering the alley, there was a woman in a thin shirt standing in front of the door in a cold day. When they saw that it was a little girl in a thick coat, she retracted her head in disappointment.

Wu Xinan walked on the muddy and smelly ground, and was paying close attention to the portal on the right.

“One…two…three…four…”

She counted all the way, and when she reached the 16th house, she stood in front of the door. When she looked closely, she saw a small totem carved in the lower right corner of the wooden door panel, which looked exactly the same as the handle of the Japanese knife in her hand.

Wu Xinan went up to shoot the door,

"Is anyone? Is anyone?"

It's silent for a long time,

"Is anyone? Is anyone?"

Wu Xinan took a few more shots and heard someone answering behind him.

"Hehe! There is a half-deaf and half-blind old man living in that room. The little lady wants to find a man, so she naturally has to find our brothers like this!"

Wu Xin'an heard it and slowly turned around, but saw two men standing behind him, with medium-sized figures, slanted eyebrows and eyes, and the cold weather was still open, revealing the yellow skin inside, and the air was flushing on his face. When the two saw Wu Xin'an turning around to look at them, they smiled even more obscenely.

"Is the little lady satisfied when she sees us brothers?"

Wu Xinan looked up and down at the two of them, frowned and thought,

"It's barely useful!"

It happened to be a good time, so I didn't have to do it myself. Although these two people were emptied by the wine and sex at first glance, it should be no problem to go into the water to catch things.

Thinking of this, Wu Xinan smiled at the two of them.

"When I shoot this door open, let's talk inside!"

Both of them were surprised when they heard this.

"Oh! The little lady knows how to do it. Cheng Chengcheng... we have to find a place to... have a good talk!"

As he said that, Wu Xinan didn't need to do anything. One of them went up and kicked the door made of the wooden board.

"Bang……"

The door was kicked open, which scared the half-deaf and half-blind old man inside who was groping out to open the door.

"Who are you...you...you are you?"

Wu Xinan stepped in and said softly to him,

"Old man, don't be afraid..."

As he said that, he reached out and took out the purse from his waist, and took out a piece of silver or two for him.
