After the divorce, I became a mountain god
Chapter 700 Family History
Yan Xiaojiu, who was resting in the inner room, heard her usually gentle elder sister suddenly calling her so loudly. She thought her elder sister was in danger, so she sat up from the bed with a start, ran quickly towards her elder sister Chen Shishi, and said anxiously, "Sister, what's wrong with you?"
Chen Shishi looked at her brother Yan Xiaojiu with excitement on her face, pointed at the one-person-wide doorway behind the closet door, and said, "Xiaojiu, look!"
Yan Xiaojiu looked in the direction that his elder sister Chen Shishi pointed, and saw the doorway as wide as a person behind the wardrobe. In an instant, his eyes widened and his mouth opened unconsciously. He was stunned for a moment as if he was cast under a spell.
Yan Xiaojiu stood there for a moment, then came to his senses. His heartbeat accelerated uncontrollably. He looked at his elder sister Chen Shishi, his eyes full of confusion and excitement as he said, "Sister, this is a secret passage. There must be some secret hidden behind this secret passage."
Chen Shishi nodded and said solemnly: "Maybe we can find the murderer who killed our parents from this secret passage."
Yan Xiaojiu also agreed and said, "I think so too."
After that, the two looked at each other, their eyes full of determination, and they decided to go in and take a look.
Yan Xiaojiu took the lead and walked to the one-person-wide doorway in the closet and walked in. Chen Shishi followed closely behind. As soon as they entered, a damp and rotten smell hit them in the face, mixed with the moldy smell of paper and the smell of wood. Chen Shishi and Yan Xiaojiu couldn't help but cover their mouths and cough a few times.
The light in the secret passage was dim, and there were several oil lamps embedded on the wall. After Yan Xiaojiu lit the wick of the oil lamp, the wick flickered with a faint light, illuminating the way forward for Chen Shishi and Yan Xiaojiu.
The floor of the secret passage was paved with stone slabs and was not very flat. Yan Xiaojiu was afraid that her sister Chen Shishi would be tripped by the uneven road surface, so she held her sister Chen Shishi's hand tightly and walked forward slowly.
As the siblings went deeper, the secret passage gradually became wider. There were multiple secret rooms on both sides of the secret passage. One side stored a large amount of food, clean water, weapons and medicines, enough for the family to survive for several months in times of crisis.
On the other side of the secret passage were many bookshelves filled with various documents, account books, and letters. Some of those documents were wrapped in kraft paper, while others were simply scattered on the bookshelves.
Seeing this, Yan Xiaojiu and Chen Shishi couldn't wait to walk to the bookshelf and started to look through the documents carefully. They found that some of them were various records of the escort business of the escort agency in those years, detailing the route, cargo and customer information of each escort.
The two of them hurriedly flipped through the books one by one, and it took them more than an hour to finish reading all the account books and documents. Only the records in one of the account books caught Chen Shishi's attention. It recorded that her father encountered many mysterious interceptions while escorting medicines, but he was finally out of danger and returned home safely. When Chen Shishi saw the date, she was shocked to find that the recorded time was very close to the time Yan Xiaojiu said he left home.
At the same time, Yan Xiaojiu was frowning as he looked at a letter with only a short line of words on it: "I encountered many dangerous situations while escorting medicines. Please be careful in the future." There was a black spider pattern drawn below the words, and the date was marked at the very bottom.
After discovering something strange, Chen Shishi took the account book and walked up to her brother Yan Xiaojiu and said, "Xiaojiu, take a look at the time recorded in this account book. Is it close to the time you left home?"
Yan Xiaojiu was thinking about the contents on the paper in his hand when he heard what his elder sister said. He hurriedly looked at the account book in Chen Shishi's hand. When he saw that the date marked on it was the same as the date on the paper in his hand, Yan Xiaojiu was shocked and hurriedly handed the paper in his hand to his elder sister Chen Shishi and said, "Yes, the time on it is not long before our family was killed. Sister, you see, the date marked on this paper is very consistent with the date on this account book. There must be a certain connection between them."
Chen Shishi took the paper from her brother Yan Xiaojiu and examined it carefully, exclaiming, "Sure enough, they are the same."
Then she compared the two and found a clue. Based on the time recorded on the two and Chen Shishi's keen observation, she speculated that the murder at home that year must be related to this drug transportation, and the person who killed her parents must have a great connection with this black spider.
After Chen Shishi told Yan Xiaojiu what was in her mind, Yan Xiaojiu nodded solemnly. He was also a professional constable before, so his investigative ability was of course very strong. He had naturally considered this matter in his mind a long time ago.
Afterwards, the two checked other things in the secret passage and found no information related to the case. Then Chen Shishi asked Yan Xiaojiu to put away the suspicious account book and the paper with the black spider on it, and then the brother and sister came out of the secret passage.
By this time, more than half of the night had passed and it was only two hours until dawn, so the brother and sister hurried to rest.
The time goes back to more than ten years ago, the day when the Yan family was murdered.
After Yan Tianxing delivered the mysterious medical books and herbs, he felt relieved. Along the way, they experienced robbery and disputes, but fortunately, they were helped by the righteous sects and successfully completed the mission.
After this escort, Master Yan and his escort agency became even more famous in the world, and many people praised Master Yan's abilities and the reputation of the escort agency.
The escort mission was dangerous and their lives were in danger. After finally returning home safely, Yan Tianxing wanted to have a good reunion with his family, firstly to enjoy the warmth of the family, and secondly to celebrate the safe return of the escort mission.
However, what he didn't know was that a devastating disaster was quietly approaching.
Because the batch of medical books and medicinal materials that Master Yan was escorting were entrusted to him by a hermit master. The master had good intentions and wanted to use these medicines to benefit the people, but his actions touched the interests of some underworld forces. These forces have long monopolized medical resources and made huge profits from them. The master's behavior undoubtedly cut off their source of wealth.
When they learned that Escort Yan had successfully escorted the goods, they transferred all their resentment to Escort Yan. In their opinion, Escort Yan was the culprit who destroyed their plan. If they didn't get rid of him, there would definitely be more trouble in the future. So they secretly investigated Escort Yan's background, learned about the family members, and carefully planned a massacre.
One night, when the moonlight was completely obscured by dark clouds and the entire Baigou County was shrouded in silence, Yan Escort was reading in his study. His wife Tao Xingchun opened the door and walked in. She looked very anxious and said to her husband Yan Tianxing: "Tianxing, our Xiaoyi told me in the evening that he was going to play with his friends in the school, and he hasn't come back yet."
When Yan Tianxing heard what his wife Tao Xingchun said, he quickly put down the book he was reading and said, "What are we waiting for? Send someone to look for him quickly. We have already lost a daughter, and we can't lose our son again."
Then Yan Tianxing and Tao Xingchun were preparing to go out together to send someone to find their son Yan Yixuan, who is actually the current Yan Xiaojiu. Just as they reached the door, Yan Tianxing, a martial artist with a keen hearing, suddenly heard a burst of light footsteps outside the door approaching their house. Master Yan hurriedly protected his wife Tao Xingchun behind him, turned his head and signaled her not to speak, and then the two hid behind the door.
Then, the door was suddenly kicked open, and Master Yan saw a man in black holding a sharp blade slowly approaching the room, followed by several other men in black dressed the same way. Seeing that the newcomers were not friendly, Master Yan, who was hiding behind the door, took out the long sword in his hand and slashed at the man in black who entered first. The man in black also saw Yan Tianxing hiding behind the door, but because Yan Tianxing was in the dark at this time, by the time the man in black saw him, Yan Tianxing was quick-eyed and quick-handed and had already stabbed the long sword in his hand at the first man in black who came in, and then the man in black fell to the ground.
Several men in black behind saw this and quickly surrounded Yan Tianxing. Yan Tianxing then started fighting with them. Tao Xingchun saw that more and more men in black were coming, so she drew her sword and fought the enemy together with her husband.
While the couple was fighting the enemy, all the servants of the Yan family were wiped out by the men in black, leaving no one alive.
Because Yan Tianxing is a martial arts master and has a certain reputation in the martial arts world, Tao Xingchun has also practiced martial arts since he was a child, so his martial arts skills are naturally not low. At first, they had the upper hand. However, as the number of men in black increased and each of them was highly skilled in martial arts, although Master Yan and his wife were highly skilled in martial arts, they were outnumbered and gradually ran out of strength, allowing the enemy to take advantage of them. The couple were injured in many places and their clothes were stained with blood, but the couple still did not give up. In the fierce fight, Master Yan discovered a special mark on the men in black, the same mark as the men in black he met while escorting the escort, a black spider mark on the back below the neck.
Master Yan understood instantly that there must be a huge underworld organization behind the man in black with the spider tattoo, secretly controlling him and wanting to kill him.
In the end, Escort Yan and his wife were outnumbered and knocked to the ground by the men in black. A leader of the men in black walked up to Escort Yan, stared at him with ferocious eyes, gritted his teeth and said coldly: "Mr. Yan, I told you not to meddle in other people's business. Today is the day you die."
After saying that, he swung his knife to chop off Master Yan's head. Seeing this, Tao Xingchun's eyes were filled with despair, and he shouted at the top of his lungs, "No!"
The man in black behind Tao Xingchun took advantage of Tao Xingchun's inattention and stabbed Tao Xingchun in the chest with a sword. Tao Xingchun fell to the ground instantly.
Escort Master Yan looked at his beloved wife lying in a pool of blood, tears welling up in his eyes, dyeing them red, red as if they were about to bleed. He trembled all over, like a mad beast, and roared at the man in black: "I will make you pay a hundredfold for the crime you committed today!"
After saying that, he used all his strength to stand up. The hatred for murdering his wife made his body burst out with a powerful strength. He used this strength to rush towards the man in black, ready to give him a fatal blow.
At this critical moment, there was a sound of horse hooves at the door. The person who came was the expert who had asked Yan Escort to escort the batch of medicines. The expert learned that Yan Escort had encountered many dangers during the transportation of the goods, and only then did he successfully escort the goods to the destination.
Thinking that these people would not let it go, he sent people to secretly keep an eye on Yan Tianxing. After learning that someone wanted to murder the Yan family, this expert rushed to the Yan Mansion at full speed, but he was still a step too late.
When the master arrived, he shouted loudly and rushed into the crowd. He was a martial arts master, and the sword in his hand was like a dragon emerging from the sea. In less than an incense stick of time, he knocked down half of the men in black to the ground. Seeing that the situation was not good, the leader of the men in black quickly ordered everyone to retreat.
The master quickly helped the dying Master Yan up. Master Yan used up his last bit of strength to tell the master the black spider mark on the man in black, and then closed his eyes forever.
The master looked at the dead Master Yan and felt extremely sad. He vowed to avenge Master Yan's family.
With grief, he buried the deceased Master Yan and his wife Tao Xingchun on a scenic hillside overnight. In front of the tomb stood a stone tablet engraved with Master Yan's life story. Every Qingming Festival, he would go to pay homage to Master Yan.
That night, Yan Xiaojiu and his friends were playful and wanted to imitate the adults to hunt wild rabbits in the mountains and forests and roast them for food. They were cautious and thought they could not go too far, so they went to the nearest forest. It took them a long time to catch a wild rabbit. They were very happy and found an open place in the forest to roast the rabbit meat. When they finished eating, it was already dark, so they went home together.
But they walked for a long time and still couldn't get out. Then they realized that they were lost. It was already dark. The friends were very scared and kept looking for a way out. At this moment, one of the friends found a small cave. They had been playing for such a long time and were already exhausted. After discussing, they decided to rest in the cave for a while. They didn't expect that they fell asleep and opened their eyes to be the next morning.
When they came out of the small cave, they happened to meet a kind-hearted man who was hunting here. After asking for directions, they walked out of the forest. The few friends knew that they would definitely be scolded by their parents when they returned home today, so they tiptoed towards their homes with timidity.
Yan Xiaojiu was no exception. On the way home, he had even thought of how to lie to his parents. When he returned home with an uneasy mood, he was ready to eat a meal of bamboo shoots and fried meat. But when he opened the door, he saw a horrible scene. He was stunned for a moment. When he returned to his parents' room, he saw a sea of blood, but he could not find any trace of his parents. Later, he found out that his parents were dead after asking around. Since then, Yan Xiaojiu left home with hatred.
Although Yan Xiaojiu and Chen Shishi were very tired that day, they did not sleep well and had many dreams about their parents. The next morning, they opened their eyes with difficulty.
On Xu Bo'an's side, the new day was awakened by a ringing phone. (End of this chapter)
