Chapter 535: Chapter 535: Key Clue Chapter 535: Chapter 535: Key Clue The girl happily handed over another milk tea to Jiangli.
“I won’t go on the date this ti, so this milk tea is for you to drink, Abbot.” Seeing Jiangli seed to really enjoy snacking, she smiled and said, “Next ti on the first of the month, or when I get rich, I’ll co to offer incense and make a vow, and I’ll bring sothing tasty for the Abbot.”
Jiangli said cheerfully, “Sure, sure, you can tell them that if they co to offer incense, they don’t need to bring money, just bringing sothing delicious will do!”
The girl did not expect the Abbot to share her love for food as well and, laughing, she promised to do so, then left with great delight.
…
All the morning pilgrims had been ‘sent off’ by Jiangli.
After sending them away, Xia Xin returned, and it was almost noon.
Xia Xin glanced at Jiangli, engrossed in her milk tea, and then at Chen Tianxu, absorbed in his studies, put her hands on her hips, took a breath, and said, “Fine, I’ll go cook, old ancestor.”
Jiangli nodded, not forgetting to instruct, “I want to eat at, sothing tasty!”
Xia Xin laughed and agreed, “Got it, I’ll get ready.”
Jiangli waved her hand, urging her to hurry up.
Just as Xia Xin was getting ready to prepare lunch, Wan Jiayuan hurriedly ran back ho.
His wife was surprised to see him return so suddenly, “Husband, why are you back at this ti?”
Wan Jiayuan, with no ti to explain and a rushed expression, ran into the bedroom to pack, looking like he was preparing for a long journey.
His wife followed him into the room and, seeing him take out a suitcase, asked, “Where are you going? On a business trip?”
Wan Jiayuan, while hastily packing with a pale face, said, “I, I need to go back to my hotown…”
His wife Wang Jiahui was sowhat bewildered, “Why the sudden trip back ho?”
Wan Jiayuan opened his mouth but didn’t know how to explain to his wife. Then, as if he rembered sothing, he took out his phone and quickly dialed his father Wan Ren’s number.
Wang Jiahui watched without understanding the reason.
Wan Ren promptly answered Wan Jiayuan’s call.
“Hello, Jiayuan, you should be at work right now, right? Why are you calling ho?” Wan Ren spoke with the accent of their hotown.
He now lived in a county near their ancestral ho, and thanks to Wan Jiayuan’s successful career, Wan Ren enjoyed a comfortable life.
Wan Ren was aware that at this ti Wan Jiayuan would usually be at work, so he was quite surprised to receive his call.
Wan Jiayuan said anxiously, “Dad, do you rember the grave in our hotown’s field?”
Wan Ren confused, “What grave?”
“The one in the west field of our old ho, isn’t there a grave there?” Wan Jiayuan explained, “That old grave, dad, do you rember it?”
Wan Ren went silent as if soone had suddenly shut off a valve.
The next second, he raised his voice sharply, “What grave! In broad daylight, why ntion such things? Isn’t it inauspicious? Enough, enough, get back to work, don’t bring it up again!”
Wan Jiayuan was just about to ask further when he suddenly realized sothing.
Wan Ren’s reaction was very abnormal.
An average person, upon hearing such a sudden ntion of a grave plot, would certainly inquire why he was asking.
But Wan Ren suddenly beca angry, not allowing any further questions at all.
A sense of dread settled in Wan Jiayuan’s heart, realizing that sothing was not right…
If one were to consider the situation seen in the water bowl and the Abbot’s words from Jiaoyang Temple, his mother had died on the day she left ho and was buried in the wild grave in their field.
If a stranger had committed the cri, how had his family never noticed?
Wan Jiayuan suddenly rembered that all this ti, he had forgotten a key clue.
