Just when Kong Sang and Liu Zhengye were stuck in a fight, Zhang Peng and the other three had almost nothing to gain.

Taking Xia Wan's photo, they had almost reached the edge of the ancient city.
He Meng pointed to the area in front of him and said: "According to the information I investigated before, this area should be the place where there are more indigenous people in the ancient city."
"Is this a small river bend?" Yan Wei blew chewing gum bubbles.
"Although it's not big, people in the past thought the riverside was a beautiful place, so they wanted to live here."
"Besides, it's more convenient to do laundry, wash rice, etc. by the river. Let's go. Keep asking."
Zhang Peng closed the phone: "No, I still can't contact Kong Sang and the others."
"There are people coming and going in the ancient city, and it's the peak tourist season. Maybe it's too noisy."
The three of them didn't think much about it.
Although Xiaohewan is not big, it is very lively.
Many indigenous people came and went, some were buying vegetables and going home, some were running shops and doing business, and some were chatting in groups by the river.

Many of these aborigines appear to be middle-aged and elderly.
Presumably, young people should also go out to develop.
Along the way, there are some smaller inns, small restaurants, tailor shops, etc., which are very consistent with the local historical and cultural characteristics. There are even some squatting directly at the door to kill fish.
The three of them couldn't help but sigh. It was completely different from going to Beijing. This place was really full of fireworks, which made people feel warm in their hearts.
On the clear river bend, cruise ships pass by from time to time, and the people sitting on them are tourists visiting the ancient city.
They looked around curiously, listening to the boatman telling legends and short stories about what happened here, and watching the paddles outline ripples of water on the river, which was not romantic at all.
The questioning continued, and no one knew him at first.
until:
"Hey, isn't this Xia Wan?"
When an old lady passed by, she couldn't help but said after seeing the photo.
"Old lady, do you know her?"
"Well, this girl lived here when she was a child, but she didn't like to talk much and was very boring. Later, after studying for a few years, she left here."
"Then does she have any relatives or friends here?"
"Look there." The old woman pointed to the small house almost at the edge of the river bend: "Did you see it? It's that tailor shop."
"That tailor shop is run by an old sister, her surname is Xiu, and she is a washerwoman. She took care of Xia Wan from the beginning. If you are looking for Xia Wan, just ask her."
"Okay, thank you, mother-in-law!"
The three of them hurriedly arrived at the tailor's shop, taking three steps and two steps at a time.
The tailor shop in front of me is small and somewhat dilapidated. It is incomparable with the exquisitely decorated stores in the center of the ancient city. But there are many clothes hanging on the walls that look like they are handmade.
The clothes are brightly colored and have complicated patterns. Even a layman can tell that the embroidery work and the sophistication of the clothes are much better than those in the big shops in the center of the ancient city.
"Grandma Xiu, Grandma Xiu?"

He Meng stepped forward and called twice.
Soon, there was a sound of footsteps on the wooden stairs behind the shop.
Grandma Xiu walked downstairs slowly.
If Kong Sang were here, he would be surprised to find that this Granny Xiu is the one who set up a street stall on Renmin Road and entered the alley before!
"Hello, Granny Xiu. We are here to see Xia Wan."
Grandma Xiu paused in her steps and glanced at He Meng with an old look: "She is no longer here a long time ago."
The other party's indifference made He Meng a little embarrassed:
"Maybe we were a little abrupt. However, something did happen to Xia Wan in Shangjing. We are looking for her whereabouts."
"We found out that you were the first person to raise Xia Wan, so we wanted to get to know you a little bit."
Grandma Xiu sat down slowly, took out the clothes with unfinished embroidery patterns from the basket and started sewing: "Okay, if you want to know anything, just ask."

"At first, I didn't care. After all, it's normal for children to act recklessly. However, her curiosity was too strong."
He Mengxiu frowned slightly: "I wonder what you mean by being too curious?"
Grandma Xiu looked at the three of them expressionlessly, and stopped sewing in her hands: "She privately read through the head-lowering technique left by my ancestors."
The three of them looked at each other, with huge waves rising in their eyes.
"I know you young people may think this is feudal superstition. However, we older generations also have their own rules."
"It's a big taboo to read this kind of inheritance stuff without the permission of your elders!"
He Meng immediately asked cautiously: "Then... Dare I ask Grandma Xiu, do you know the head-lowering technique?"
Grandma Xiu waved her hand impatiently: "Why do you want to learn that thing? When I was young, the Kyushu Kingdom was already established. We are all trying to make a living for ourselves, so how can we have the leisure to do things that can't fill our stomachs?"
"Then Xia Wan, have you learned the head-lowering technique?"
Grandma Xiu shook her head: "I don't know. I see her becoming more and more curious, and the frequency of peeking is getting higher and higher. In addition, she is getting older and is beginning to be dissatisfied with living here."

"Finally, I had a fight with her. Then she left, overnight, and never came back."
"However, half a month later, when I came back from shopping for groceries, I found that the "Head-Lowering Technique" in the room was missing. Maybe she had stolen it."
"In that case, Granny Xiu, can you help us look at a few things. These are what we found in Xia Wan's home."
With that said, He Meng first took out the box of human blood rouge.
Grandma Xiu took it, rubbed it with her fingers, and her breathing paused obviously: "...Is this Xia Wan's?"
"We can't be sure. But her husband is dead and her stepson is also dead. We found this when we searched her dressing room."
"This rouge is made of human blood." Grandma Xiu closed the lid and sighed softly, her indifferent expression becoming a little looser for the first time.
"This thing is an ominous thing. Don't use it. Find a suitable place and burn it."
"Mother-in-law, there is this one. This one was also found in the dressing room. It was originally placed in a box with a pair of scissors. But..."
When He Meng took out the human skin paper, Grandma Xiu's cloudy eyes showed fear for the first time: "Human skin paper!"
"Uh, yes!"
The three of them suddenly became alert.
Granny Xiu stood up staggeringly, snatched the human skin paper away almost as if snatching it, and observed it carefully in the palm of her hand. For a long time, her old face was full of surprise: "Is this also Xia Wan's?"
He Meng nodded.
Grandma Xiu sighed heavily and sat down weakly, with a trace of sadness in her eyes: "You have committed evil!"
"Grandma Xiu, dare I ask if this human blood rouge and this human skin paper are head-lowering techniques?"
Grandma Xiu was silent for a while and said: "That's right. But this is not the head-lowering technique itself, but the items used to perform the head-lowering technique."
"Human blood rouge belongs to medicine. Human skin paper belongs to ghosts."
Grandma Xiu asked again: "You just said that Xia Wan's husband and stepson died. How did he die?"
"The corners of his husband's eyes were cracked and all the organs in his abdomen were gone. It should have been caused by something eating him."

"As for his stepson Wang Xin, when he was found, he was already a blackened skeleton with all his blood sucked out."
Grandma Xiu's face was full of pain: "If the organs are eaten, it should be a voodoo technique. As for the blood and energy being withered, it is a voodoo technique."
"The art of killing, the art of poisoning, and lowering the head. I didn't expect that she had learned all of these in the past so many years..."
He Meng was keenly aware that Granny Xiu seemed to know something hidden, and quickly handed over a photo of the Buddhist amulet: "Granny Xiu, before Xia Wan's stepson died, he was wearing a peace amulet similar to this. Can you see
Can you tell me what this is?"
"Are you looking for this too?" Granny Xiu frowned.
He Meng quickly asked: "Mother-in-law, did two young men come to you and ask about this?"
Grandma Xiu sighed: "It turns out you are together. That's all. You go back first. I'm a little tired."
He Meng was a little anxious: "Mother-in-law... you'd better tell me, what is this?"
"I am indeed a little tired and want to sleep for a while. If you really want to know this, come to me after 9:30 pm. I will tell you everything I know."
Grandma Xiu issued an eviction order. Although the three of them were helpless, they thought it would be okay to know the result at night.

After leaving the tailor shop, Yan Wei asked: "He Meng, aren't you afraid that Grandma Xiu will run away? She obviously deceived us. She said she didn't know how to lower her head, but how come she knows so much about those things."
Zhang Peng shook his head: "I guess she won't be able to escape. Look at where she can go at such an old age. However, the relationship between Xia Wan and her should not be as simple as said."
"Is it possible that Xia Wan really did this?" He Meng was a little confused: "But what is the purpose? Moreover, Wang Xin's Buddha amulet was obtained in the ancient city. It is impossible for Xia Wan to go to Beijing and still bring the Buddha
It’s only right that the card is given to Wang Xin.”
"Forget it, it's useless to talk about it now. I just sent a message, and Kong Sang replied. He said that they encountered a ghost wall. They were about to break through it, but the ghost wall suddenly disappeared. Let's meet up first, and then talk about other things.
Right."
The three of them quickly left Xiaohewan.
Grandma Xiu quietly locked the door of the shop and came to the second floor alone.
She sat by the window, looking at the creek outside, looking at the three people leaving, and sighed: "When did you come?"
From the shadows, a graceful woman slowly walked out, it was Xia Wan!
At this time, Xia Wan had straight hair and a cheongsam, looking like a beautiful girl from the south of the Yangtze River.
"Mother-in-law." Xia Wan gently wrapped her arms around Grandma Xiu's shoulders, as close as a grandchild and grandson: "Long time no see, I really miss you."
