Chapter 1306 Father and Son

Fatty: "..."

"How's it going? Does it feel very silky?"

The fat man didn't say anything, but he knew that what the doctor said was very likely to happen. Sure enough, the upper beam was not straight and the lower beam was crooked. None of Mr. Wu's children were economical, and each one was more ruthless than the other.

The car drove through a curve and the bumpy mountain road woke up the boy lying on his side. The first thing he did when he woke up was to see if his rag bag was still there. He used it as his pillow when sleeping.

Jiang Cheng looked amused and teased him by saying that although he was not a big man, he was a money man. How much was a rag bag and some newspapers inside worth? If he sold it, he could eat four dishes?

The little boy was still a little afraid of him, but he was naturally close to the fat man. He couldn't help but move closer to the fat man's position. After getting closer, he seemed to have the confidence to challenge Jiang Cheng, "It has nothing to do with money, there is my treasure in this!"

Jiang Cheng smiled even more happily, "Newspapers are considered a treasure, too?"

"It's not the newspaper! It's the baby!"

The little boy's face changed with anger. After saying this, he opened the cloth bag as if he was angry, and took away the newspapers layer by layer. Then he wiped his hands on his clothes very carefully. After wiping his hands clean, he reached in and pulled out the cloth from the cloth. From the bottom of the bag, I took out a small bag wrapped in red cloth.

The boy looked serious, and the whole process was even full of ritual.

Seeing this, Fatty Jiang Cheng couldn't help but become interested. The two of them leaned their upper bodies towards the little boy, their eyes slightly widened, but the boy cast a wary look at Jiang Cheng and clutched the red cloth bag tightly without letting go.

The fat man saw this and explained: "Don't be afraid. He is a good person like me and will not steal your treasure."

With Fatty's guarantee, Jiang Cheng was lucky enough to see this so-called treasure. As the boy opened the red cloth little by little, Jiang Cheng and Fatty's eyes froze at the same time.

Inside the red cloth bag was a jade earring. The earring was completely emerald green and still emitted faint fluorescent light in such a dim environment. It was obviously extraordinary.

The boy only glanced at them a few times, then quickly took it back and asked with pride on his face: "How is it? I didn't lie to you, did I?"

"This thing...where did you get it?"

Jiang Cheng naturally wouldn't be interested in seizing the treasure, and this was a mission world, so he couldn't take back even a huge treasure. He was just curious about how the boy could have such a treasure in his hands.

Besides, he was also worried about the boy. A man was not guilty of carrying a jade, and putting this thing in his hands would only bring disaster.

The boy felt the suspicion in Jiang Cheng's tone and immediately became unhappy, "What do you mean by that? Where did you get it? I didn't steal it or rob it. This thing is mine.

"My father left it to me!" The boy was a little excited.

"You still have...where is your father?"

After a pause, the fat man immediately changed his words. He originally thought that the little boy was an orphan, wandering alone without a father or mother. If he could find the little boy's father, he would be relieved.

When he mentioned his father, the boy was not in a good mood. He just carefully took back the jade pendant, rewrapped it in a red cloth bag, and stuffed it into the bottom of the bag. After a long time, he shook his head and said, "I am different from other children on the street. The unwanted child, I have a father, but... I just don’t know where he is.”

"But he definitely wanted me. He asked me to wait for him and said he would come to me one day. He might not recognize my face anymore, but he would recognize this treasure."

Jiang Cheng somewhat understood. No wonder the little boy refused to exchange the earring for money even when his life was in such embarrassment. It turned out that this earring was a token of recognition between father and son for him.

Judging from this earring, the boy's father is not an ordinary person, at least he comes from a wealthy family. For the boy to wander around alone, I think this father must have encountered difficulties.

Jiang Cheng stretched out his hand and patted the boy's shoulder, "Don't worry, tell us your father's name and we will help you find it."

"I...I don't remember."

"You must have an impression of what it looks like. Tell me what it looks like and let this brother draw it for you. We will find someone with the painting. Don't worry, this brother is very good at painting!" Fatty said about Jiang Cheng's painting. Gong is very confident.

Unexpectedly, the boy became more and more embarrassed, lowered his head, and his eyes were slightly red, "I...I forgot, it's been too long, I even forgot my father's face, I only remember that he said to me, he will come back Look for me and he will find me wherever I am.”

Jiang Cheng frowned slightly after hearing these words. He had a strange feeling, but he couldn't be sure. This child gave him an indescribable feeling, and... it seemed that the timing of his appearance was too coincidental.

He was like a thread, accurately connecting several things completely. He grasped every opportunity just right, from providing information in newspapers to squatting outside the Wu Mansion to inform them... He was busy before I didn’t have time to think about the mission in detail, and now I have temporarily settled down. When I recall, there are loopholes everywhere, and the more I think about it, the more frightened I become.

Jiang Cheng was certain that this boy was an important clue in the mission, just like the little beggar in Master Huang's mission.

Jiang Cheng couldn't help but sigh softly. Both the little beggar and the boy in front of him were accidentally captured by the fat man, otherwise the task would be even more difficult.

But it seems... the boy's identity is a little weirder.

Jiang Cheng kept it in mind and did not continue to ask questions, while Fatty was extremely moved and kept comforting the boy, saying that he believed his father would always remember him and that they would soon be reunited as father and son.

When it was completely light, Jiang Cheng and Fatty took a rest for a while. They were very nervous on the way out of Wolong Town, fearing that the second young master would regret and send people to hunt them down.

After returning to Shanghu City, the group did not immediately set out to look for clues, but found a good hotel to stay in. They now had the reward paid by the second young master and were very rich. After filling their stomachs, they rested in the room until the evening before leaving.

Under the leadership of Fatty Jiang Cheng, the group took advantage of the night and came to Baomozhai. When the old gentleman saw that it was Fatty Jiang Cheng, he immediately came up to greet him. He first closed the store door and hung up a sign of closing, and then welcomed everyone to the tea room upstairs. After brewing tea, he went to notify the shopkeeper, and his movements were so skillful that it was embarrassing.

Soon, the shopkeeper came in a dusty manner. After a few words of gossip, Jiang Cheng bluntly stated his intention and handed the portrait to the shopkeeper, asking him to help find this person. The range was probably antique dealers near Shanghu City, or some side business related to tomb robbery.

"Brother Jiang, Brother Wang, you came at the right time. We have also found some clues. There seems to be some strange connection between these strange treasures. They... are likely to have been unearthed from the same tomb." The shopkeeper suddenly lowered his voice, "Let's call it the tomb of Hun Hou for now."
