False evidence

Chapter 342 The Fourth Brother
Whether An Xin is the reincarnation of the palace maid named Yueying is unknown.

But the more I looked at her, the more inexplicably agitated I felt.

I suppose I should hate her.

If she hadn't spoken, I would probably have already obtained the remains of the Emperor.

However, I clearly sensed that my agitation did not stem from blaming her.

Before leaving the ship graveyard, I had already made some plans. In order to calm my thoughts and think clearly, I changed the subject and said to An Xin:
"Why are you carrying so many glow sticks with you? Are you also a fan of so-and-so? I don't say I have a prejudice against young male idols... but actually I do. I think they're too effeminate, I can't like them, and I can't even remember their names."

"I dont like it either."

An Xin rolled her eyes. "Those glow sticks were all leftovers."

"You're still a middleman?"

"Do you think I want this? My mom dotes on my brother, it's like I'm not her biological son. The worst part is that she's not in good mental health, and I can't argue with her. If I don't find a way to make money, I won't be able to finish these three years of high school."

An Xin wiped her eyes. "Looking at those brainless fans, spending a fortune for their idols... I'm just a poor bastard, carrying a bag and selling the cheapest glow sticks, wreaths, and name tags at the entrance of the venue. It's a really painful feeling."

Liu the Blind and I both clicked our tongues at the same time.

Liu the Blind said, "I knew it! Why did your glow sticks stop working so quickly? They're fake! The quality is completely different from the glow sticks I bought when I went to Jacky Cheung's concert!"

I pointed at Blind Liu and teased An Xin, "See? Your grandpa's still your grandpa!"

"Get lost! How many years older are you than him? You're just a slippery character!"

Liu the Blind picked up his phone, stood up and said, "You guys keep eating, I'm going to make a call."

We didn't discuss our experiences in the ship graveyard and some unanswered questions any further.

After all, this is a case from hundreds of years ago and has nothing to do with my life now.

Because I had missed my 'lifeline,' I lost my appetite, but for the sake of the remaining hope, I forced myself to eat three large bowls of rice soaked in vegetable soup.

Liu the Blind walked in, holding a phone in one hand and pointing at me with the other: "Give me your wife's birth date and time! Quickly!"

I told them Pidan's birthday.

Liu the Blind repeated it into the phone in a low voice.

About two minutes later, he hung up the phone, sat down, and said to me:
"The person I just spoke to was my wife. She's always very accurate at fortune telling. I had her do a divination for your wife."

I instinctively sat up straight. "What do you mean?"

"Don't go to Guangxi yet. Tomorrow morning, go back to where you came from. If you see the number '31' three times in a row, you'll find your wife."

"What do you mean? What does 'returning to where you came from' mean...?"

"Where are you from?!" Blind Liu interrupted me, took a breath, and said, "What you need to do now is find Pidan. As long as you can find her, she has at least a hundred days left to live. Otherwise, she won't live past Qingming Festival!"

Liu Hong asked cautiously, "Who is your spouse?"

Blind Liu said, "Her surname is Duan."

"Surname Duan? Is she related to Duan Chengfeng, the money-grubber?"

"Old Duan is my father-in-law. He went to Suzhou to sell salted duck eggs three years ago (and died)."

Later, I learned from Shen San that "Duan Chengfeng, who was obsessed with money," had another nickname: "Iron Abacus."

Without even mentioning knowing five hundred years into the past or five hundred years into the future, the divination results obtained from the movement of the abacus beads have never been inaccurate.

Liu the Blind's wife's mother was a shaman from Northeast China. She possessed extraordinary spirituality from birth and was even better at divination and arithmetic than her father.

Liu the Blind seemed very anxious, and stopped eating, saying directly to Liu Hong:

"We still need to find the Emperor's remains. I suggest we split up. Sanqi, go find his wife, and you go to Guangxi."

Liu Hong nodded.

Lu Zelin said, "I'll go too."

Yan Fengwei said, "I can see that if we're really going to dig a tomb, I really can't help. I'll go with Sanqi." Liu the Blind hurriedly got up and said, "I won't keep you company for now. My child had a fever yesterday, and I have to go back immediately. Call me if anything happens. Um, Liu Hong, since we've agreed, let's skip the meal and just grab something quick at the service area later."

Seeing that he was somewhat out of sorts, I couldn't help but ask, "What did you see when you were bewitched by the medicine figurine?"

Liu the Blind only said three words: "It's terrifying."

Because he was wearing sunglasses, I couldn't see his eyes, but I could see his body trembling slightly.

"I should spend most of my time with the people I care about."

Liu the Blind rubbed his nose and pointed at An Xin: "I'll go back to X City with Liu Hong's car first. Girl, you're coming with me?"

An Xin looked at me, and finally shook her head, saying, "I borrowed tuition fees and wrote an IOU. Now... I still have some money on me, so I'll..."

"Then you can stay with Sanqi!"

Blind Liu said in a flurry, "Stop eating, let's go!"

Liu Hong gestured to me to make a phone call, and then left with Lu Zelin and Liu the Blind.

I immediately booked a flight back to my hometown.

"Om..."

Upon receiving the text message, I looked at Yan Fengwei.

Yan Fengwei pointed to the teacup he had brought out of the ship graveyard:

"A genuine Ming Dynasty imperial kiln piece! I bought it for 20,000, and I can resell it for over 25,000. I didn't lose money, I actually made a profit. The item is free, you keep the money, consider it our travel expenses!"

I didn't argue with him, nor did I wait until the next morning. I went back to the hotel, took a shower, and changed my clothes. After checking out, I rushed to catch the 21 PM discounted flight.

The plane landed at exactly 23 PM.

"Achoo! Achoo..."

An Xin sneezed several times as soon as she got off the plane.

Seeing that snot bubbles were coming out of her nose, I handed her a tissue while Yan Fengwei and I both turned our faces to the side.

"When I was here last time I was scrambling for land here, the taxi drivers were really ruthless when it came to ripping off out-of-towners," Yan Fengwei mumbled, a cigarette dangling from his lips.

"Cough cough... With the internet so developed now, ride-hailing services... self-charging... ugh..."

I finally couldn't hold it in any longer, so I covered my head, bent over, and vomited.

At that moment, my consciousness was completely confused.

In Yan Fengwei's and others' eyes, I was just vomiting under a concrete pillar outside the airport.

However, although I was actually feeling unwell, my excitement overshadowed everything else, and I wasn't actually that uncomfortable.

In my eyes, the two people leaning against the pillar, bent over, and vomiting violently were two other people.

One of them is Lü Xin.

The other one is Eunuch Sun, dressed in ancient costume!

"screwdriver!"

I was so angry I gritted my teeth.

Not only did Lü Xin waste time, but I really didn't expect that Eunuch Sun was still there!

His soul was taken away by the blind man, but if he hadn't never been on a plane before and hadn't vomited like this, I wouldn't have noticed at all that he had left a part of his consciousness in my mind!

There's another eunuch, Sun!

In other words, from the moment we sat down at the dinner table in Yugu Town, I gained an additional awareness.

The newly joined 'partner' is a eunuch...
