Chapter 121 The Ancestral Treasure
Zhong wiped his tears as he said. Huang Husheng patted his shoulder, "Master, I'm lucky enough! Don't worry about me. Where are the others of the family?"
"Qing Shu was hit on the head by a refugee. When I found him, he has already died! Woo-" Zhong couldn't help crying. He had been looking after these kids since they were young, that's why he felt tortured when they died before him.
Qing Shu was born in the Huang family and worked as Huang Husheng's servant since he was a kid. Huang Husheng was deeply shocked by his accident.
His eyes suddenly turned red, "How... could they do that to Qing Shu who was still a youth..."
"I couldn't agree more. I wish I were the one who was hit to death." Zhong cried.
Huang Husheng hurried to comfort him, "Don't say that. No matter who was hit to death, I'll be sad. Where's Qing Shu?"
"I don't know where did you go and when will you come back. It's inappropriate to put Qing Shu's corpse here even if it's winter now. So I made the decision to bury him."
"Where did you bury him?"
"Right outside the city."
"I have to visit him in person when I have time." Huang Husheng sighed.
All the servants in his family had not returned yet and the whereabouts of several people were unknown. It wasn't known if they had encountered any accident.
Even he had a narrow escape. If it wasn't for Su Jiuyue who happened to take him back, he would probably die on the road.
It's miserable enough to meet either natural or man-made disasters. Well, it despaired of meeting both of them. He was just a doctor who treated people and was really helpless in the face of this situation.
After checking his loss, Huang Husheng sighed, "Well, let's go back at once after things have been done here."
People around him nodded and chorused. They didn't want to stay here for even a minute.
"Have you found it?" Huang Husheng asked Zhong who stood aside.
Zhong shook his head, "We have searched the house up and down, except digging underground, but we found nothing."
His house had been destroyed awfully with several rooms in the east burned in flames. Thanks to servants' immediate action, the rest rooms had been preserved.
No one could guarantee if the thing they were searching for was in the destroyed rooms.
If so, they were doomed.
Su Jiuyue vaguely felt that this scene seemed to accord with her dream again...
The dream was made the day before yesterday. At that time, she dreamed that she was looking for something in a well-decorated house, but she couldn't find it after searching for a long time.
But just as she walked out of the house and stepped over the threshold, a box fell from the top of her head.
Before she didn't know what did the dream mean. She even didn't see the scene in real life.
Until she followed master to his yard, she gradually matched the scene.
Hearing they were looking for something, she immediately thought of the parcel felling down from the sky.
"Look for it again, don't miss a single detail."
Su Jiuyue wandered and looked around in several rooms. Finally she found the central room was exactly the one she dreamed before.
She stood on the threshold and looked up. As expected, she found a thing there.
"Master, come and have a look. Is there anything on the top?"
Huang Husheng and others ran to her after hearing her words and looked up aside her. They spotted a box behind the plaque.
Huang Husheng was overjoyed and demanded someone to get it.
"Fu Sheng! Hurry up! Go and get it!"
After they used a ladder to carefully get the box behind the plaque, Huang Husheng ignored the thick dust on the box and opened it in person.
He looked at the pamphlets inside and was on the verge to tears, "Finally I found you. We, the Huang family, can survive."
Su Jiuyue was in confusion. What actually did they look for? Wasn't this his own house? Why didn't he know where the thing was?
"Master, what's this?" She asked.
Huang Husheng took out a copy of it, patted the soil on top of it and sighed, "This is a case left by my ancestors, which records the various incurable diseases that my fathers have encountered in their careers and the solutions. Every generation of the Huang family will pass it on to future generations. But my father died suddenly and had no time to tell me where these cases were hidden. "
That's why he treasured it like this. But why did he say that the Huang family can survive? What difficulties did they encounter?
Su Jiuyue had many doubts in her heart. But she knew she had no rights to ask such a thing.
"Master, since you have found the thing, I'm leaving. I have to find that uncle for Zongyuan."
Huang Husheng was reminded by her. They were back to search for a person.
"I'll delegate my servants to search together! Tell us what does he look like. It's a small town. We can definitely find him if he's still here."
"He's in thirties or thereabout. He's 72 inches with beard and a nevus under his left eye..." Su Jiuyue described the person's feature in details.
Seeing that everyone nodded to indicate that they had memorized, Huang Husheng said, "Okay, then hurry up and find him. Don't delay any longer."
All the servants in Huang Husheng's family were dispatched to help find the person. They searched all inns in the town, but they still couldn't find anyone who met the standard.
The sun gradually moved westward and it's about three.
The sky went dark early in winter. If she still couldn't find him, she had to come again tomorrow.
She's really tired after bustling about for a whole day.
She chose a tea shop to order a big bowl of tea and drank two sips to release her tiredness.
She didn't expected she looked up and saw an acquaintance.
Emm...not exactly an acquaintance, but they did know each other.
The one was about to pass by, then she noticed her and walked toward her.
"Su?" She called her.
Su Jiuyue didn't get used to the address, but she nodded, "Why are you here? You don't intend to go back?"
Yang Liu sat opposite her and asked for a bowl of tea to the Dr. Tea. Then she said, "Do I have the need to go back? I'm not so lucky as you. No one of my family and my husband's family treats me like a human being. I'm good to be here."
Su Jiuyue believed her words. The clothes on her body seemed to be excellent material and there was not even a patch on it. It seemed that one-year harvest from her parents' land would not be enough for her to make such a suit.
What's more, she also wore a pair of silver hairpin on her head and jade earrings on her ears. She painted willow eyebrows and put on delicate make-up on her face.
It looked like that she had a happy life now.
