"Let's go back?" Gong Dai asked GongYimo, but GongYimo thought about it and said with gritted teeth.
"There are many people with the surname Xue, but I know that woman's husband. He is an ordinary but not ordinary person. Perhaps he can be a clue?"
After saying that, she pulled Gong Dai and followed them. It was unknown where they lived after moving out of the Hopeless Forest …
When the sky turned dark, Gong Dai followed GongYimo to the mother and daughter's house. It was still only the two of them. It seemed that the woman did not remarry.
Hearing the knock on the door, the woman asked her daughter to open the door. After three years, the little girl had grown into a big girl. When she opened the door, she saw a man and woman who were so beautiful that they did not look like real people. She could not help but be stunned.
"Who is it?"
After hearing no sound for a long time, the woman walked out. She seemed to have gained weight again. There were layers of meat on her stomach and her eyes were very big. She looked very fierce. That's right, a woman was in charge of the household and had a daughter. How could she not be fierce?
"You are?"
She was also dazzled by the appearance of the two. Oh my, she had never seen such good looking people in her life. Could it be that the fox in the mountains had turned into a demon?
Seeing GongYimo smiling, wasn't she exactly the same as the little fox?
Gong Dai pulled GongYimo's hand and then raised a prince's token. "The imperial court is working. I hope that Madam Xue can make things easy for us!"
The woman was stunned. She clearly did not expect the two of them to be officials. Although she was flustered, she still moved to the side to let the two of them in. She frowned and thought for a while before smiling apologetically.
"How could I be a madam … Official, please have a seat! This … if you have something to ask, this madam will tell you everything she knows! "
Gong Dai looked at GongYimo and GongYimo said with a smile.
"Is your husband's surname Xue?"
The woman pulled her daughter to the side and sat down. Hearing this, she rubbed her hands uneasily. "Are you here for my late husband? But my late husband has already passed away for a few years … "
She wanted to cry as she spoke, but her daughter was curiously looking at Gong Dai. She had never seen such a good-looking person before!
GongYimo did not notice this. "What's your husband's name?"
She was the one who buried her, but she didn't know her name.
The woman frowned and lowered her head, "My husband's surname is Xue and his first name is Xiao. He's just an ordinary herbalist. Everyone in our village knows that!"
GongYimo smiled comfortingly. "Don't be afraid. We are here to help you … To be honest, your husband has something very important in his hands. It might bring you a fatal disaster! We are from the Imperial Court, and we are here to settle this matter. "
GongYimo began to spout nonsense.
It would have been fine if he hadn't thought about it before, but now that he thought about it, that old man was really different. He even knew about the Water Cloud Grass and Fire Cloud Grass, and he even knew about their medicinal properties …
It should be known that eighty percent of the pharmacopoeias did not have any records of this type of accompanying plant. Only a few families with profound knowledge would know a little about it.
So GongYimo felt that no matter whether it was true or not, she should trick her first!
Sure enough, her words frightened the other party. Even that little girl stopped staring at Gong Dai, and instead pulled her mother to ask.
"Mother, do we have such a thing in our house?"
The woman glanced at her and patted her hand before speaking to GongYimo. "To be honest, the reason why I can have a house in town and even have a small business is because my late husband helped a nobleman …"
Speaking of this, her eyes flickered. "Although I received a hundred taels, my late husband also lost his life because of it … Our house is already so poor that even thieves don't come. How could there be anything important that would be coveted by others?"
GongYimo frowned. "This is a serious matter. Why don't you think about it again. For example, did your husband say anything strange or leave anything strange behind?"
At this moment, the little girl interrupted. "Father's words are very strange, but they also make sense."
"Wangnan!" The woman glared at the little girl with dissatisfaction, and then shook her head firmly. "I'm sure. There's nothing special in our house. My late husband didn't say anything!"
"Where's the map?" GongYimo suddenly took out a piece of parchment. "Something like this! Is there really nothing? "
When she took out the map, GongYimo stared at the little girl. She saw that the little girl was confused at first, then suddenly widened her eyes as if she had thought of something!
At that moment, GongYimo was sure that she had guessed correctly!
The woman was stunned at first, but when she saw GongYimo looking at her daughter, she quickly hugged her and said, "We don't have that kind of thing in our house! Please leave! "
GongYimo knew what was going on. She slowly pushed a banknote on the table.
"Madam Xue, to be honest, this map is useless to you. It might even bring you trouble! After all, if I can find you, others can also find you. Just like this little girl's name … "
GongYimo looked at the little girl. "Xue Wangnan? Plus, your husband guarded Hopeless Forest every day when he was alive. Don't you think I can understand that there's something interesting in the south of Hopeless Forest? "
GongYimo's words made the woman tremble …
"No … I don't understand what you're saying …"
At this moment, the sound of metal flowing slowly could be heard. Gong Dai pulled out his narrow sword, and the two women widened their eyes in shock!
"Do you understand now?"
GongYimo's eyes were wide open. How could this be?
Gong Dai's murderous aura frightened the little girl. The woman had never seen such a scene, and she softly cried out and hugged her daughter tightly!
Under Gong Dai's cold ink-black eyes, her scalp went numb. For a moment, she thought that Gong Dai was really going to kill her!
So she couldn't lie anymore, and she said in a trembling voice …
"You … since you're so smart! You should know that you can't go to that place! "
Originally, she followed her late husband's instructions and didn't tell anyone. However, this man didn't look easy to get along with. She was a widow and an orphan, so she had to tell him!
"And this has nothing to do with Wangnan! I've been married to my husband for decades, and he's always been an ordinary person. We don't know what kind of map it is … My late husband didn't say much … and we don't know why you're looking for us … "
She was just a woman, so how could she have experienced something like this? Seeing Gong Dai's ferocious look, she quickly spilled the beans.
Thinking back to her poor and bitter life, she never thought that her husband was any different from other people. She didn't expect something like this to happen after his death.
GongYimo smiled. "Your husband and I have a history. You can think of it as me coming to you today is fate."
The woman hugged her daughter in silence … After a while, she spoke.
"We really don't know anything … We can give you the map, but you have to guarantee our safety!"
