He tightened his grip on the piece of paper, trembling slightly. His stern and stern eyes dimmed, revealing his sorrow.
Ji Yunshu saw the change in his expression.
She said, "This person is the old friend you were talking about, right?"
Third Master did not reply.
He continued to look at the woman in the portrait.
Then, Ji Yunshu took out the two square wooden tablets.
She handed them to Third Master.
"You should know what this thing is, right?"
Third Master looked up and saw the two overlapping wooden tablets in Ji Yunshu's palm. His eyes suddenly widened in shock, and he immediately reached out to take them.
His hands trembled, and his coarse fingers gently rubbed against the pattern of the wooden tablets.
It was uneven, layered and orderly.
A moment of carving!
It was crystal clear.
He couldn't be more familiar with this pattern.
It was carved by him, one stroke at a time.
His eyes were moist, and he raised his head to ask Ji Yunshu emotionally, "Why do you have two of these wooden tablets?"
Ah!
Ji Yunshu immediately understood what he meant when he asked.
"So, you really know what happened that year."
"Tell me, where did you get the other wooden tablet?"
Urgent!
Ji Yunshu said, "This portrait and the other wooden tablet were obtained from the Yue Dan that we captured."
"Him?"
"He told me himself that he woke up in a forest twenty-one years ago, but he couldn't remember anything. He only had this portrait and a wooden tablet."
Third Master's body trembled.
He almost dropped the item in his hand.
He muttered, "Twenty-one years ago? Twenty-one years ago … "
Ji Yunshu said, "It was in the forest near Yi City in the northwest. After passing through the forest, you can reach Huyi."
She deliberately emphasized.
Third Master's eyes widened, and his fingers tightened as if he was about to crush the portrait in his hand.
At the same time, he staggered back a few steps. His eyes were unfocused, and he muttered again, "Northwest, Yi City …"
All the points seemed to match up.
Seeing him like this, Ji Yunshu was even more certain.
Not only did Third Master participate in the incident that happened twenty-one years ago, he might even be … a person involved!
She took a step forward and asked, "Can you tell me what happened that year? Who is the person in the portrait? What does it have to do with me? What does that captured Pill Master Yue have to do with me? And you … who exactly are you? "
A barrage of questions bombarded him.
Third Master lifted his eyes and looked at her.
She was waiting for the answer she had thought of.
But Third Master suddenly called out to the outside, "Men!"
A soldier came in. "Third Master?"
He ordered, "Bring that Alchemist Yue here."
The soldier was stunned for a moment. He looked at Ji Yunshu, then left to carry out his orders.
Soon, Bai Yin was brought in. Her hands were tied behind her back and she could not move.
Over the past few days, people had been sending him food and water. There were even people who came in to apply medicine for him. His body was much better, and his whole body was full of energy. He stood there, unconvinced.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the tent was very solemn.
When Bai Yin saw the portrait and the two wooden tablets in the Third Master's hands, she seemed to have a vague idea of what was going on.
It must have something to do with him!
But how did Third Master get involved?
Is it related to the Third Master?
Master San waved at the two soldiers. "You may leave."
"Yes."
The soldiers left!
Only the three of them were left!
Elder San took a dagger from the side and walked behind Bai Yin with a cold expression. He unsheathed the dagger and quickly cut off the rope binding Bai Yin's wrists, then threw them on the ground.
Bai Yin's wrists were bleeding. After regaining his freedom, he twisted and clenched his fists a few times to loosen his muscles.
At the same time, Elder San circled to his front and asked, "Your name is Bai Yin?"
Bai Yin looked at him and replied, "Mm."
Elder San took the portrait and asked him, "This portrait and the wooden tablet are yours?"
"They're mine."
"Where did you get them from?"
"They've always been with me!"
"Are you sure?"
"There's no need for me to lie."
"I heard that you woke up in a forest, and you … don't remember anything before you woke up?" Elder San continued to ask.
Bai Yin frowned and the corner of his mouth curled slightly. "It seems that you know quite a lot."
Elder San's gaze slowly fell on his arm. Suddenly, he grabbed it and rolled up his sleeve.
There was an oval-shaped black birthmark on his arm!
Ah!
Elder San's eyes trembled. Tears welled up in his eyes as he carefully examined Bai Yin's expression.
"Yes! You really look like me! It's really you! It's really you! "
Elder San was very excited!
Bai Yin pulled his hand back.
He frowned.
"What do you mean? What do you know? "
Elder San snorted. He originally thought that he could hide this secret forever, but in the end, the day would come when it would be revealed.
He shed his usual stern and cold demeanor. With tears in his eyes, he looked at Ji Yunshu and then at Bai Yin. His Adam's apple bobbed for a long time.
Finally, he said, "The woman in this portrait … is your mother."
Ah!
What?
Your … mother?
Ji Yunshu was sure that she didn't hear wrongly. Although she had prepared herself beforehand and had a rough guess, when the truth was revealed, she was still shocked.
Not only her, but Bai Yin was also shocked.
He was flabbergasted. He stared blankly for a while, not daring to believe it. "What did you say? The woman in the portrait … is my mother? "
Elder San nodded. "That's right. She is your mother."
"…"
Both of them took a while to recover.
They looked at each other.
Indeed, their brows and eyes were inexplicably similar!
Ji Yunshu took a deep breath and asked Elder San, "What about you? Who are you? " Due to family reasons, she ended up marrying someone else. I engraved these two tablets for her later on. The pattern on them is a flower, a finger orchid unique to our place. It represents blessings. I wished her happiness and eternal happiness. Not long after, she gave birth to a son and gave him one of the wooden tablets. She said, "Xi 'er and I grew up together, we were childhood sweethearts. We were childhood sweethearts, and we were childhood friends. I painted this portrait for her the year she came of age. I originally thought that I would be able to marry her at that time, but life is unpredictable. Due to family reasons, she ended up marrying someone else. I engraved these two tablets for her later on.
