In the bonsai world, the medicines packaged in kraft paper and porcelain bottles cannot be seen from the outside, but Zhao Laoshuan could actually see the liquid medicine inside through the surface of the bottle. This scene made Zhao Laoshuan curious.

I couldn't help but curiously said to Yan Xiaojiu and Chen Shishi: "Miss, Master, the medicine you just gave me is really magical. I feel almost well now. Moreover, this medicine is not only so effective, but also looks at the outer packaging of the medicine. It is really very strange. I have never seen such a strange thing in my life. What kind of treasure is this?"

Zhao Laoshuan didn't have any other intentions. He was just thinking about what this effective medicine was and wanted to buy some later.

Yan Xiaojiu was a little stunned after hearing what Zhao Laoshuan said, because he had just arrived in Kaoshan Village for a few days and was still a little unclear about the temperament of the Mountain God. He didn't know whether he should talk about the Mountain God's affairs or not.

He didn't know how to answer for a moment and subconsciously looked at Chen Shishi. It was Zhao Laoshuan's wife who had a look. Although she was also very curious about the medicine Yan Xiaojiu had just taken, she felt that one should not ask questions that were not necessary.

Seeing the brother and sister looking at each other, Zhao Laoshuan's wife felt that her husband had asked something he shouldn't have asked, and hurriedly said to him, "Old man, there are so many things in this world, and there are many things we haven't seen. Why are you asking nonsense questions?"

Zhao Laoshuan finally reacted and said to Chen Shishi and Yan Xiaojiu, "My dear wife, you are right. I am just curious. I really shouldn't ask. It is my fault for being short-sighted. Please don't be offended, young lady and young master."

The Mountain God is the Mountain God of the entire Dajing Dynasty. He is not just the Mountain God of the mountain village, and he is not just for Chen Shishi and Yan Xiaojiu.

Moreover, a large number of refugees have recently entered the mountain village, which means that the Mountain God does not reject others knowing his existence. And if this matter is spread out, letting everyone know about the existence of the Mountain God, it can also help the Mountain God spread his divine power. Why not do it?

Thinking of this, Chen Shishi said to Zhao Laoshuan and his wife, "Uncle Zhao, you are overthinking. There is nothing you can't ask. To tell you the truth, this thing does not exist in our mundane world. This thing is a fairy medicine used by immortals. I sprained my foot some time ago, and Grandpa Mountain God gave me this fairy medicine."

When Zhao Laoshuan and his wife heard Chen Shishi say that this thing was given by the Mountain God, they thought that they were too old and their ears were not working well, so they heard it wrongly. The two old people said to Yan Xiaojiu in unison: "Miss, what did you just say? Mountain God!"

Chen Shishi said again: "That's right, I just said that this medicine was given to me by the Mountain God."

The old couple heard the name of the mountain god again from Chen Shishi, and were shocked after confirming that they had heard it correctly.

The old couple had heard the term "Mountain God" occasionally from the older generation when they were young, but later on, few people mentioned it, and later on, the Mountain God disappeared completely, and people just regarded it as an ancient legend.

So many years have passed, and everyone's life has been going on as usual. No one took the legend seriously. When the old man heard that the mountain god had appeared again, he was shocked and more skeptical.

He came back to his senses and stammered to Chen Shishi and Yan Xiaojiu, "Miss...Miss, is it really the Mountain God who appeared? Could it be that someone with evil intentions is using the name of the Mountain God to do something reckless?

I have lived for most of my life and have never seen the mountain god appear. How can he appear so easily now? Don't blame me for being nosy. I am really worried about the safety of the young lady and the young master."

Chen Shishi smiled and said, "Uncle Zhao, how can we blame you! I know you care about us, but we saw the Mountain God's divine appearance with our own eyes, it is definitely true. The momentum of the Mountain God's words and everything he did are all good things that benefit the people.
My sister and I have lived peacefully to this day under the care of the Mountain God. There are many people like me who are cared for by the Mountain God. Nowadays, wherever there is a Mountain God temple, as long as you offer incense, the Mountain God will appear and bless the lives of the people. "

Yan Xiaojiu also added: "What my sister said is true. Thanks to the help of the mountain god, my brother and I were able to recognize each other."

When Zhao Laoshuan and his wife heard Chen Shishi and Yan Xiaojiu's detailed account of the mountain god's appearance, they began to be skeptical. It's not that they didn't trust Chen Shishi and Yan Xiaojiu. It's just that such an incredible thing would be difficult for anyone to be completely convinced without experiencing it personally.

In recent years, the bonsai world has been hit by successive years of drought, the imperial court has oppressed and deprived the people, and the people have been living in dire straits. Although Zhao Laoshuan and his wife still don't quite believe that what Yan Xiaojiu and Chen Shishi said is true, they really want a mountain god to show up and speak for these poor people.

Zhao Laoshuan suddenly remembered that there was a mountain god temple in their Baigou County. If he wanted to witness with his own eyes whether the appearance of the mountain god was true or not, wouldn’t he be able to find out by going to the mountain god temple and burning incense?

Thinking of this, Zhao Laoshuan said directly: "Miss, Master, we have a mountain god temple here. I wonder if the mountain god here will show himself if we go to the temple to offer incense and burn incense."

Chen Shishi and Yan Xiaojiu were overjoyed when they heard what Uncle Zhao said. They looked at Uncle Zhao as if they had discovered a new world and said in unison, "Do we really have a mountain temple here?"

Zhao Laoshuan saw how excited Chen Shishi and Yan Xiaojiu were after hearing that there was a mountain temple here, and he quickly said, "Yes, when I was a kid, I went to the temple with my friends because I was playful."

Chen Shishi and Yan Xiaojiu said, "Then when we have finished our work, let's go to the temple to see if the mountain god will show his divine power here. If the mountain god shows his divine power here, it will be considered that we have done a good thing for our hometown."

Zhao Laoshuan said to Chen Shishi and Yan Xiaojiu in a very embarrassed manner: "My legs and feet are not very agile now. If the young master and the young lady go to the mountain temple, can you take me, an old man, with you?"

Chen Shishi nodded and said, "Of course, Uncle Zhao, if we go there someday, we'll come and pick you up. By the way, my sister and I came back this time to find clues about who killed our parents and to find the real murderer so we can avenge our parents. Do you know what happened back then?" When Zhao Laoshuan heard that Chen Shishi and Yan Xiaojiu came here because of the tragedy of their parents, he felt very relieved for the master and mistress in heaven, and his thoughts were instantly brought back to more than ten years ago. Zhao Laoshuan said, "Children, I feel bad that you have been thinking about this for so many years.

That incident happened so suddenly. I had something going on at home at the time, so I went home a few days early. After I finished my housework and returned home, I saw corpses all over the Yan family. It was a horrible sight. I don't know who did it.
But afterwards I always felt that there must be some hidden story behind this, because before your parents were killed, Escort Yan received a batch of goods bound for Kyoto. I remember that Escort Yan was very cautious after receiving this batch of goods. It seemed that it must be a very mysterious and important batch of goods.
Not long after the shipment of goods was completed, this incident happened in the master's family. I guess your parents' death is related to this incident."

Chen Shishi and Yan Xiaojiu heard a little clue and asked hurriedly: "Do you know where my father is going to deliver the goods to in Kyoto?"

Zhao Laoshuan shook his head and said, "In the business of escorting, there is no room for carelessness. Every mission concerns one's life and property and the reputation of the escort agency. It is an extremely important matter.
Moreover, the cargo that was transported was of great importance. Escort Master Yan has always been known for his prudence and secrecy. He knew that there might be some unknown secrets behind the cargo, or he was afraid that it would involve various forces. Once the news leaked out, the consequences would be disastrous. He would definitely not tell anyone. Therefore, I don't know about this matter."

When Chen Shishi and Yan Xiaojiu heard what Zhao Laoshuan said, their eyes suddenly dimmed. They knew that this little information was far from enough for them to catch the murderer. After all, this incident happened more than ten years ago, and it would take time to find out the truth. It seemed that this matter still needed long-term planning.

Chen Shishi continued to ask unwillingly: "Uncle Zhao, do you know if there are other survivors in the Yan family?"

Zhao Laoshuan said, "That's all I know. As for what you're asking about, I'm not sure."

That's true. After all, Zhao Laoshuan had already returned home a few days before the incident, so it was understandable that he didn't know about these things. Chen Shishi asked this only because she still had a glimmer of hope about this matter.

Having asked all the questions that needed to be asked, Chen Shishi and Yan Xiaojiu chatted with the Zhao Laoshuan couple about family matters and gave them some of the silver they had with them.

The old couple refused and said, "Miss, Master, we can't take this money!"

Chen Shishi said: "Uncle Zhao, this money is a small gift from my brother and I, please accept it!"

The two elders tried to refuse again, but when they couldn't refuse anymore, they accepted it.

After Chen Shishi and Yan Xiaojiu said goodbye to the two elders, they left on horseback. On the way, they passed by an inn, had a quick meal, and then returned to their old home.

It was already evening when the brother and sister returned to Yan's Mansion. They were very depressed as they had gained nothing.

It will take time to investigate the old events of more than ten years. Her parents are no longer here. Chen Shishi originally wanted to stay for half a month to find out everything and then leave. It seems that they were too optimistic. It is not easy to come back. It seems that she has to be prepared to stay here for a long time.

Thinking of this, Chen Shishi said to Yan Xiaojiu: "Brother, when we come back this time, I'm afraid we have to be prepared to stay here for a long time."

Yan Xiaojiu said, "Yes, sister, this incident happened more than ten years ago. It will definitely take a lot of effort to investigate. I have already prepared myself to stay here for a long time. This time I come back, I must find clues so that I can make adequate preparations for the next step of revenge."

Chen Shishi nodded and said, "Okay, it's getting late, let's quickly clean up the house and get some rest!"

Yan Xiaojiu nodded, and the two began to clean up their respective resting places.

Chen Shishi first cleaned the room briefly, then took off the old mattress sheet on the bed, opened the cabinet, took out a new mattress sheet from the cabinet, spread it on the bed, tidied it up, and was about to lie down on the bed to rest.

Suddenly a strong wind blew, and the door of an old wardrobe in the room made a "pop" sound. Chen Shishi got up and walked to the wardrobe and opened it. More than ten years had passed, and there was a thick layer of dust in the wardrobe. Some of her mother's old clothes were still hanging on the clothes rack above, and some boxes under the wardrobe were used by her mother to store her headdresses.

Chen Shishi had not had time to pay close attention to this place when she was searching the house in the morning. Now it was late at night and everyone was asleep. Chen Shishi couldn't help but think of her mother when she looked at these old things of her mother. She saw a pink dress hanging on the clothes rack that she remembered was her mother's favorite when she was young. She took it out and held it in her arms. She couldn't help but feel sad. The voices and smiles of her parents instantly filled Chen Shishi's mind, bringing her thoughts back to twenty years ago.

Chen Shishi held her mother's clothes, tears streaming down her eyes. After thinking for a long time, Chen Shishi carefully hung her mother's clothes back on the innermost end of the clothes hanger in the closet. The moment she hung the clothes, she subconsciously saw the latch on the closet.

Relying on the rich knowledge she had learned in the music hall and some vague memories of her childhood, Chen Shishi instantly thought of something. Then Chen Shishi looked at the same latch on the other side of the clothes rack again, and she couldn't help but doubt it in her heart. Could it be that there is a mystery in the latch on both sides of the clothes rack?
Thinking of this, Chen Shishi reached out to twist the buckle on the right side of the clothes rack to see if there was anything wrong. When she twisted it hard, she found that the buckle on the right side of the clothes rack did not move. Then she increased the force, and found that it was still motionless.

Then Chen Shishi twisted the buckle on the left side of the clothes rack, but it still didn't move. When Chen Shishi increased her strength, she felt the buckle loosen slightly. Chen Shishi's eyes lit up, and then she twisted the buckle with great force. Suddenly, she felt a tiny gap appear behind the wardrobe, and then a doorway as wide as one person appeared in front of Chen Shishi.

Chen Shishi changed her usual gentleness and excitedly shouted to Yan Xiaojiu who was resting in the inner room: "Xiaojiu, Xiaojiu, come here quickly!" (End of this chapter)
