"That's fine, then I'll wait for your reply from the army."
Lin Mengya smiled and said.
But I have already made a plan in my heart to use this incident to exchange for better cooperation conditions with Du Canjun.
After all, she has always been a person who distinguishes between public and private matters!
The goals of Bai Jing and the seven people have been successfully achieved. In fact, their gains are much more than they expected.
Because of their accident of being impersonated this time, they were fully aware of the strength of the Gong family.
With such extraordinary teammates, they will definitely gain a lot.
But in terms of sincerity in cooperation, he had to properly advise the people who joined the army and never look down on the head of the family just because she was a woman.
Otherwise, the fate of those counterfeiters will serve as a lesson for them.
Bai Jing and his party were sent away smoothly. They originally planned to make repairs on the spot. After Du Shenjun received specific news, the two parties gathered together to discuss cooperation matters.
Unexpectedly, the peace was soon broken.
"Master, Master Huo is here."
The servant's sudden report made her a little surprised.
Just as she was thinking about the purpose of Uncle Huo coming here, she saw the old man running in front of her as if his butt was burned by fire.
"Xiaoya, do you recognize this thing?"
He suddenly took out a small walnut kernel from his pocket.
Lin Mengya didn't take it seriously at first, until she saw that the dark red walnut core was actually hollow.
There are even two exquisitely carved figures inside.
Upon closer inspection, I realized that the two little people seemed to be hiding from the rain.
The walnut stones here are different from those Lin Mengya saw in modern times. Some varieties may be solid inside except for the green skin on the outside.
She found this variety interesting when she first saw it, and she happened to be preparing birthday gifts for her two babies at the time, so she hired a skilled craftsman to make two sets of walnut stone carvings.
The contents are all anecdotes from the two brothers' daily lives.
According to the rules of their profession, the carving craftsman must not make another set exactly the same without the permission of her master.
Besides, there is no need to imitate this thing.
Then the only explanation is——
"This is a birthday gift from me to my two children, but what happened to the children?"
Lin Mengya just felt a "boom" and almost lost all her sense.
Uncle Huo startled her and quickly reassured her, "No, the children are safe. Your Aunt Fang is with them. Don't worry."
"Then where did this come from?" Her hanging heart suddenly relaxed.
But I still feel a little nervous. Not many people can get this thing.
Even if ordinary people want something valuable, they won't take children's toys.
"This thing was brought back by Huo Xiao. He said that several of his brothers suddenly disappeared, and the family blamed him."
"Later, he led people to investigate and found that the matter was actually related to several families."
"They are secretly searching for people. They probably want to participate in the family selection, but they are afraid that this is a conspiracy and that all the elite members of their family will be lost, so they secretly arrest people and support them."
"After he rescued the person, one of the people handed this thing to him. He also said that he hoped to deliver it to the head of the Gong family."
"He also said that as long as you see this thing, you should know the meaning of this object."
Uncle Huo spoke very quickly when he said these words, but he did not forget to explain the matter clearly.
Lin Mengya frowned slightly and looked at the walnut core again.
Suddenly, she realized that the color of the walnut pit was a bit too dark.
I wiped it carefully with my hand, but it couldn't be wiped off.
She put it under her nose and smelled it carefully.
It must have passed through too many people's hands, so that the smell on it has dissipated.
"This thing——"
She hesitated a little, and was about to say that she might not be able to remember it for a while, but suddenly, Xiaoyao reminded her.
"Although they look the same, this walnut stone should belong to brother Ning'er."
Ning'er's?
indeed.
Walnut pits are naturally formed and cannot be made exactly the same.
But in order to prevent the two babies from thinking that she favored one over the other, she still asked people to find similar ones.
But there are still subtle differences.
Xiao Yao could remember it because there were still pictures in the system, so he compared them carefully and came to the conclusion.
"Since it belongs to Ning'er, if he wants to give it away, he must give it to someone very important."
This set of twelve walnut stones is a set that both babies can't put down.
And because it is easy to carry, the two babies sometimes even have to put it in their own little pockets and take it out to play together.
Could it be that you gave it to someone while you were out playing?
Just when both of them fell into silence, Long Tianyu came in after finishing the matter.
He first said hello to Uncle Huo, and then saw his wife staring at a small walnut stone.
He felt it was funny at the moment, took one look at it, and casually said, "This belongs to Mo Yan, right? This little guy really likes it, and he will go wherever he goes."
Don’t forget to bring it.”
As a result, Lin Mengya shook her head, "It belongs to Ning'er."
With Uncle Huo present, she couldn't say it was Xiao Yao who said it.
Therefore, Long Tianyu just thought that she remembered it wrong and said with a smile, "It shouldn't belong to Ning'er. I remember that he lost a bet with Qinghan once before, so he lost this to his uncle."
"Ahem, that guy Qinghan, even Ning'er won't let him go, seriously."
"Are you sure that Ning'er gave it to Qinghan?" In an instant, Lin Mengya understood.
Holding the walnut core, he looked at his man seriously.
Uncle Huo also looked serious.
Long Qinghan had collaborated with Huo Xiao many times before. After they met as father and son, Huo Xiao also introduced him to his parents.
But, that was at least two months ago.
"I am sure."
Long Tianyu also realized something and his face turned slightly cold.
Qinghan is his flesh and blood brother.
Although the two have had misunderstandings and frictions over the years, it is undeniable that Qinghan, who has been with him since he was a child, has also occupied an extremely important position in his life for the past twenty years.
"I'm going to ask Qinghan about his recent whereabouts."
He didn't say anything, but there was a bit of worry in his eyes, and he turned around to find someone to ask for details.
Lin Mengya quickly grabbed him.
"Qinghan is a very smart person, and he has good martial arts skills. There shouldn't be any big problems. Don't be too anxious."
"Ok, I know."
Long Tianyu patted her hand gently and quickly went to find someone to verify.
Uncle Huo looked at Long Tianyu's back and couldn't help but sigh softly.
"When I first regained my memory, I also thought of the brothers in our clan. But time has changed, and most of them either died or hid away."
"I don't know if we will ever see each other again in my lifetime."
Who hasn’t had the youth of bright clothes and angry horses?
Although he was the young head of the Huo family at that time, his brothers only regarded him as their eldest brother.
They had also dreamed about the future together, and imagined that they would carry forward the Huo family so that no one would dare to look down upon them anymore.
There were times when a young man was worried, and even when he was pursuing his wife, everyone gave him a lot of advice.
The years at that time still exist in his dreams until now.
It's just that after waking up from the dream, I can't help but feel sad.
That's a past they can never go back to.
And those brothers have been separated from each other since then, never to see each other again.
Thinking of this, Uncle Huo couldn't help but sigh. I hope these brothers don't make the same mistake again.
"What? Qinghan lost news two months ago, why didn't you report it?"
Long Tianyu tried his best to control his temper so as not to explode on the spot.
Two months, let alone such a long time, even if it was only two days, Qing Han might have an accident!
"Reporting to Your Highness, the Second Young Master did not allow us to tell you."
The person who replied was cautious, fearing that His Highness would get angry and take his own life.
"Did he leave any words before he left?" Long Tianyu took a deep breath and asked.
"Your Highness, the Second Young Master once said before he left that he would try his best to save his life no matter what."
"Oh, the second young master also said that even if he is in jail or it is inconvenient to send you a message, he will find a way to send the message. You just need to wait patiently."
The man's voice became softer and softer, but he only acted according to the rules.
He was not afraid that His Highness would be unreasonable.
Mainly because His Highness lost his temper, it was really scary!
Long Tianyu looked at the man for a long time before letting out a long breath.
"I understand, go down."
"yes."
This man ran away as if he had been granted amnesty.
Woohoo!
Don't let something like this happen to him next time. His Highness's anger is something that no ordinary person can bear!
Long Tianyu thought of the walnut core, and hurried back to tell his wife his guess.
"Perhaps Qinghan has left the news inside this walnut kernel."
Upon hearing this, Lin Mengya immediately handed him the walnut core.
"I checked just now. There are no words or codes outside."
Long Tianyu was not willing to give in. After some inspections, the results were the same as Madam's.
Isn’t it this walnut stone?
But he was a little unwilling to do so.
Thinking that since it's not outside, then - maybe, it's inside?
But the walnut kernel was only that small in total, not as big as his daughter's little fist.
Even if they are inside, they can't see it, right?
Unexpectedly, Lin Mengya suddenly had an idea when she looked at the too narrow inner wall.
She ran to her medicine cabinet and took out a very small mirror.
The small mirror is only as big as the belly of your little finger.
When her husband was looking for someone to make surgical tools for her, he made many exquisite and small tools for her.
She carefully bent the angle of the small mirror further, just enough to reach into the walnut core!
