Chen Muyu smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, I can't live here for a few days anyway!"
There were no extra beds at my uncle's house. When I went to stay at their house, I had to squeeze in with my uncle. The key was that my uncle snored at night, which Chen Muyu couldn't stand.
Although the conditions in the old house are poor, there is at least water and electricity, so I am very free.
"No matter what, please be careful and close the doors and windows at night." Mr. Niu was hesitant to speak.
“Second Master, if you have anything to say, just say it.” Chen Muyu asked.
Er Master Niu waved to Chen Muyu, "Follow me."
Chen Muyu was confused for a while and followed Mr. Niu up to the second floor.

Study.
Two bookshelves, filled with books, at least a thousand, many of which are about medical science.
Er Ye is indeed a cultural person.
Mr. Niu Erye searched on the bookshelf and took out a letter from an iron box.
That kind of old registered mail envelope, Chen Muyu hadn’t seen it for who knows how many years.
I don’t know what’s inside.
Turning around, Mr. Niu hesitated for a moment and handed the envelope into Chen Muyu’s hand.
Chen Muyu looked at him with a puzzled expression. The letter was bulging when he pinched it. Could it be that it was pretending to be money and that the second master would give him a red envelope?
“This is a suicide note that your grandfather left me three years ago. If you are interested, take it and have a look.” Mr. Niu Er said abruptly.
What?
Chen Muyu was shocked, what was the suicide note left by his grandfather?
How come the suicide note left by grandpa is here with Mr. Niu?
He lowered his head and looked at it. There were a few words written on the envelope, "Brother Heng Lun personally writes this."
This handwriting is indeed grandpa’s.
Chen Muyu stayed where he was and did not come back to his senses for a long time.
Grandpa left a suicide note, but he didn’t leave it to his father, his third uncle, or himself. Why did he leave it to Mr. Niu?
“Don’t look here, go back and look!”
Er Master Niu did not explain to Chen Muyu, but patted Chen Muyu on the shoulder and walked out of the study.
…
Although Mr. Niu’s surname is Niu, his mother’s surname is Chen, so he is the same generation as Chen Muyu’s grandfather. It is said that they were best friends who grew up together. In the early years, when his grandfather was still alive, he had a very good relationship with him.
It’s not surprising that grandpa left him a suicide note.
At night, in the old house, Chen Muyu looked at the envelope on the table and hesitated for a long time without opening it.
Could this suicide note really be left by grandpa?
It has been three years, why didn’t Mr. Niu take out the envelope before but gave it to him today?
Grandpa passed away suddenly that year. Chen Muyu was studying in the provincial capital and did not even see him for the last time. Now, he is very eager to know what words his grandpa left behind.
Took a deep breath.
Chen Muyu opened the envelope.
There were several pieces of letter paper inside. Chen Muyu looked at the contents and found that it was indeed his grandfather's handwriting, and it was indeed written to Mr. Niu.
At first, it was just a reminiscence of old friendship with Mr. Niu, a normal communication between friends, but at the end, Chen Muyu frowned slightly.
At the end of the letter, grandpa mentioned that he was going to Yuzhou. If he failed to come back, he would ask Mr. Niu to help with some matters. However, the letter did not specify what the matter was.
Thinking about it, it must have been an agreement between him and Mr. Niu.
Watched it several times.
Yuzhou?
Chen Muyu put down the letter. Could it be that there was another hidden reason behind his grandfather's death?
I remember that three years ago, when he was studying in the provincial capital, he suddenly received a call that his grandfather had passed away. He hurried back and did not see his grandfather for the last time.
I heard from my family that it was a cerebral hemorrhage.
But in Chen Muyu's impression, his grandfather has always been strong and healthy. Some old people of his age, like Mr. Niu, are still tough.
What's more, their family is not short of money. Grandpa's passing was really sudden.
Before this, Chen Muyu didn’t have too many suspicions, but now, after this letter came out, Chen Muyu had to wonder. Could it be that there was another hidden reason for his grandfather’s death?
Master Niu must know the inside story.
Let’s ask Mr. Niu tomorrow.
——
Go to the backyard, go down into the well, and into the secret room.
“Little bastard, come out here!”
As soon as Chen Muyu opened the door to the secret room, he heard feeble curses coming from inside.
Lu Wanli was tied up with a steel rope, hanging by his limbs like a pig in the countryside. He was hung on the ceiling of the secret room in a very inelegant posture.
“You’re a lot older and you’re still a senior, why do you have such a bad mouth?”
Chen Muyu was elegant and easy-going. He pushed the door open and walked in. He was holding a bag in his hand, which contained some bread and milk, which he bought at the village canteen.
Lu Wanli stopped scolding Chen Muyu when he saw him coming in. The experience last night was still vivid in his mind, and the terror of the steel giant was still a shadow.
“You, who are you?”
Lu Wanli held back a sentence for a long time, and his tone was no longer as tough as before.
Without answering him, Chen Muyu walked over, pulled off a piece of bread and stuffed it into his mouth, "You haven't eaten anything all day, so you must be hungry, right?"
Lu Wanli felt a little nervous.
However, I am indeed hungry.
After chewing twice, he tilted his head and looked at Chen Muyu, wondering what Chen Muyu’s intention was.
“How is the injury?” Chen Muyu asked calmly.
"I can't die!" Lu Wanli swallowed the bread, "Can you let me down first?"
Chen Muyu shook his head, "Not now!"
"What do you want?" Lu Wanli was very depressed, thinking that he, one of the eight great masters in the Southwest, was actually being hung here like a pig.
But what can I do if I am depressed? If you are a knifeman and a fisherman, if you don’t give in at this time, isn’t that asking for death?
Chen Muyu sat down on the wicker chair next to him and looked at the old man in front of him. After a moment, he said, "I want to know, as one of the eight great masters in the southwest, what is the purpose of coming to Chenjiayan Village?"
Hearing this, Lu Wanli's face trembled slightly, "There is no purpose, I'm just traveling here!"
“There’s no need to talk, I’ll see you again tomorrow night!”
Chen Muyu patted the handrail, stood up, and prepared to walk out.
"etc!"
Lu Wanli quickly stopped and said, "Put me down first. I'll tell you when I do!"
Chen Muyu turned around and smiled, "Are you stupid or am I stupid? As you are now, are you still qualified to negotiate terms with me?"
Lu Wanli's face turned red. After a moment, he said, "Look for the secret realm of Longtan to find a legendary treasure!"
Lu Wanli exhaled and said, "This passage in the well leads to a secret place. Young man, you won't tell me that you know nothing about it, right? I'm already in this situation, why do you have to pretend in front of me?"
Chen Muyu returned to the chair and sat down, crossing his legs, "Go on, what treasure are you looking for?"
“Long Yuan!” Lu Wanli said directly.
“Long Yuan?”
Chen Muyu raised his eyebrows, and the image of the huge ice ball came to his mind.
