"I bought it nearby. I was afraid that the young lady would be hungry." Lian Mao said with a simple smile.
"Then you are really efficient in doing things, but I am indeed hungry." Lianmao placed the food on the table. Gu Xinyin's eyes lit up when she saw that they were all her favorites, "You are quite careful when buying food.
Yes, you know what I like to eat."
Lian Mao felt extremely embarrassed. How could he know what Gu Xinyin liked to eat? It was clearly prepared by Situ Hanxuan.
After Gu Xinyin finished eating, she fell asleep not long after. She was really tired.
Lian Mao was in the next room, reporting Gu Xinyin's situation to Situ Hanxuan.
The next day, Gu Xinyin made a bold decision.
"Young Madam, you want to live in Wumiao Village temporarily?" Lian Mao was very confused. Gu Xinyin had previously shouted that she wanted to leave here to chase Situ Hanxuan.
"I thought about it carefully, and it's not a big deal to chase Situ Hanxuan all the time. Besides, my body is indeed a little overwhelmed. I decided to stay in the village for a while, so that I can rest and not delay searching for grandma's whereabouts."
Gu Xinyin planned to fight with Situ Hanxuan in two groups, so that the efficiency of finding people could be higher.
"How to find the whereabouts of grandma? She has disappeared for decades." Lian Mao found it difficult.
"Where there's a will, there's a way. I don't believe you can't find any clues." Gu Xinyin then looked at Lianmao, "Go to the village to find out information, count up the elderly, and find out their specific addresses."
"What do you want this information for?" Lianmao was puzzled.
"I'm going to go door to door to ask him for news about grandma." Gu Xinyin made up her mind.
Infected by his emotions, Lian Mao rushed to collect information.
According to the information on the form, Gu Xinyin started to visit the house. Every time she visited, the house was full of items. She had thoughtfully asked Lian Mao to investigate the other party's family situation, and the gifts were practical and the items they were lacking.
.
In this way, Gu Xinyin not only accumulated virtue and did good deeds, but also easily gained the favor of those people. They also told Gu Xinyin as much news as they knew.
But even so, Gu Xinyin didn't get much practical information.
Because the grandma liked to live alone when she was young, everyone didn't know much about her. And every time Gu Xinyin asked for news about her, most of them thought that she was gone.
Because in terms of age, that grandma is now sixty or seventy years old, not to mention that there has been no news from her in these years.
"Young Madam, let's rest in the hotel today. The weather outside is not good. Moreover, we have been searching for many days and there are no useful clues at all. Don't have too high expectations."
Lianmao is not attacking Gu Xinyin, but Gu Xinyin hasn't had a good rest these days and looks very bad.
Sometimes, Lian Mao would follow Situ Hanxuan's instructions and take a few photos, but all he got was a scolding. Whenever that happened, Lian Mao just couldn't tell how hard he was.
"It's been almost a month since we set out, and we don't have much time left. How can I rest at this time?" Situ Hanxuan was in danger, and Gu Xinyin was so anxious that he couldn't sit still.
Just like that, Gu Xinyin set off again with Lianmao.
This time Gu Xinyin went to the home of an old woman. It was said that the old woman was a miserable woman. Her husband died early and she never remarried, so she lived alone all her life.
When Gu Xinyin went there, the old man was very happy, maybe because he thought someone could talk to her.
Gu Xinyin asked Lianmao to move the basic daily necessities in for the old man, and then took the old woman's withered hand and talked. Gu Xinyin was very patient with the old man, perhaps to make up for the regrets in her heart.
I think her grandfather also loved her very much, but because of the greed of Gu Kehai and Liu Caijing, they were killed and passed away. This also made it impossible for her to fulfill her filial piety.
"The grandma you mentioned, I met her back then. She was relatively solitary and very good at raising voodoos. Although this thing was popular in our place, it had faded away at that time and there were even fewer people who knew it, but she was
It’s different, this is what our ancestors did.” The old lady was very talkative and kept talking.
"Does grandma know where she went?" Gu Xinyin asked.
"Well, I just remember that a man came to see her back then. It was said that they seemed to be a couple, but then the man betrayed her. From then on, she disappeared. As for where she went?" The old woman shook her head and asked.
Not sure.
"Then grandma knows where that man is from? Or do you still remember what grandma looked like back then? It would be best if you could draw it."
The old lady still shook her head.
Gu Xinyin's heart sank. Is it going to fail again today?
"I only remember that when she left, she walked through the mountain behind us," the old lady said.
"Old lady, please look at my granddaughter. I have to leave now because I have something urgent to do." Suddenly a woman walked in with a five or six-year-old girl. After putting her down, she hurriedly left.
"What happened?" the old lady asked.
"Hey, my son went to the mountain to cut firewood and accidentally entered that forest. You also know that that forest has been haunted for many years. My son was frightened and seemed to be crazy." The woman was also very anxious and left quickly.
.
"It's haunted? What's going on?" Gu Xinyin asked.
"You are a foreigner, so naturally you don't know what's going on here. It's that mountain, do you see it?" The old lady pointed to the hazy mountain behind the house.
"It has always been very uneasy in there. Strangely enough, after the woman who knew how to raise voodoos left there, the place became haunted not long after. Some people said that the woman killed her beloved man.
Being there has caused his ghost to linger. Some people also say that grandma died there. But everyone is just guessing, and there is no real evidence at all." The old lady was still talking.
Gu Xinyin's eyes lit up and she quickly looked at Lianmao, "Let's go and take a look at the mountains."
"Miss, it's getting late, what are you going to do? And you're pregnant, so be careful." The old lady became anxious upon hearing this.
"I just went to take a look and will be back soon." Gu Xinyin responded and let Lian Mao take her into the mountains.
But halfway through, Gu Xinyin came back because she saw the crazy son of the previous woman with her own eyes. She was a little frightened, and Lianmao kept discouraging her.
Gu Xinyin decided to go back and make some preparations before going into the mountain. After all, it would be dark, and it would be inconvenient for them to go into the mountain.
After returning, Lianmao quickly reported the news to Situ Hanxuan.
"Nonsense!" Situ Hanxuan was furious. Even though this woman was pregnant, she still liked to mess around.
