Douluo's Blue Silver Family

Chapter 141 Clues

Yuan Changqing drove a carriage, carrying Catherine and Wang Yuyan, and after bidding farewell to his family, began his journey towards Hanhai City.

Hanhai City is located in the western part of the Tiandou Empire, bordering the sea. It is also the only major coastal city in the western part of the Tiandou Empire.

They traveled along the way, stopping frequently, because Yuan Changqing and his group didn't know whether the scroll Catherine had taken out was real or fake, but they still kept an eye on it.

...

As night fell, Yuan Changqing and his two companions arrived at a village, where they planned to spend the night.

After Yuan Changqing drove his carriage into the village, some villagers heard the sound of the carriage traveling on the road and came out to check.

A middle-aged man saw a carriage approaching and immediately recognized Yuan Changqing's extraordinary nature. He quickly stepped forward and asked, "Hello, sir, are you a Soul Master?"

Yuan Changqing stopped the carriage and said, "Yes, hello to you too!"

After confirming that Yuan Changqing was a Soul Master, the middle-aged man's heart tightened, and he asked again, "Soul Master, have you come to our village to look for someone, or is there something else?"

Yuan Changqing said, "No, my wife and I were going somewhere else, but it was getting late and we saw smoke rising from the chimneys, so we came to see if we could find a place to stay."

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man felt much relieved to learn that they had come to stay overnight rather than cause trouble.

Then, the middle-aged man said, "Soul Master, welcome to our village. I am the village chief. My house happens to have an extra room. If you don't mind, please make do for the night."

Yuan Changqing then said, "Thank you so much, Village Chief. Having a place to stay is all I need."

The village chief said, "Soul Master, please follow me. My home is not far ahead."

Then, the village chief led the way, and Yuan Changqing drove the carriage, following the village chief to his house.

After the carriage stopped, Catherine and Wang Yuyan got off one after another.

Yuan Changqing then asked the village chief, "Village chief, do you have a place around your house where I can park my carriage?"

Upon hearing this, the village chief said, "Soul Master, there happens to be a place next to my house where we usually store firewood. You can use it to park your carriage."

After Yuan Changqing parked the carriage, the village chief led Yuan Changqing and the other two into his home and quickly poured them tea.

The village chief said, "Soul Master, we don't have anything good at home, just wild tea from the mountains. Please make do with it."

Yuan Changqing said, "Village chief, it's alright, everything is fine. I'm sorry for causing you trouble."

Hearing Yuan Changqing, a Soul Master, being so polite, the village chief was somewhat at a loss, because the Soul Masters he usually encountered always treated them, ordinary people, with arrogance.

After the village chief saw that Yuan Changqing and the other two had drunk tea, he said, "Gentlemen, I will now take you to see the rooms."

After seeing the room, Yuan Changqing thought it was quite good. Although it looked rather simple, the room was very clean.

Yuan Changqing said, "Village Chief, the room is nice. You don't need to stay with us all the time. Go ahead and do what you need to do. We'll tidy up first."

The village chief nodded quickly and said, "Okay, Soul Master, if you need any more help, please call me anytime. I'll be going now and will call you again when it's time to eat."

"Yes, thank you for your trouble, Village Chief."

After the village chief left, Yuan Changqing said, "Catherine, Yuyan, let's rest here tonight and set off again tomorrow."

The two girls nodded, and Wang Yuyan said, "Okay, Brother Changqing, let me and Sister Catherine make the bed first."

...

As night fell, the village chief came over and called Yuan Changqing and the other two to go out for dinner.

At the dinner table, the village chief said, "Gentlemen, these are just simple country dishes, nothing fancy, please don't mind them."

Yuan Changqing also said, "Village Chief, you are too kind. We are not so particular. We also came from a small village. This is already a very generous meal. You don't need to say whether you mind or not."

After the meal, Yuan Changqing thought about the scroll again and asked the village chief, "Village chief, has your family lived here for generations?"

The village chief said, "Yes, we commoners don't have many good options outside. We can only farm in the village for generations. Sometimes, when a Soul Master comes out of the village, they all move to the city to live."

"Village chief, are there any stories or legends around here, or any special places?" Yuan Changqing asked, having heard the village chief say that his family had lived here for generations, so he figured the village chief must know the area quite well.

The village chief didn't know what Yuan Changqing was looking for. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Soul Master, we are just ordinary people, not as powerful as Soul Masters. So, we only move around the village. Apart from experienced hunters, we rarely go into the mountains near the village. Therefore, we haven't heard of any stories, legends, or special places around here."

Yuan Changqing nodded, not at all disappointed. After all, if the scroll was genuine, how could it be found so easily?

However, accidents often happen unexpectedly. At this moment, the village chief's youngest son said that there might be a special place that Yuan Changqing asked about.

"Uncle, I know a place, but I don't know if it's the place you're looking for."

At this moment, the village chief quickly scolded his youngest son, saying, "You're so young, what do you know? All you do all day is cause trouble."

Then, turning to Yuan Changqing, he said, "Soul Master, this is my youngest son, Gou Dan. Don't listen to his nonsense. I've lived here for decades and I don't know anything about him. What could this kid possibly know!"

Actually, the village chief was also afraid that Gou Dan would say something reckless and upset Yuan Changqing, which would make their family miserable.

Yuan Changqing said, "It's alright, village chief. Let's just treat it as casual conversation. It's fine to let Gou Dan say what he wants."

So Yuan Changqing looked at Gou Dan again and asked, "Gou Dan, you can say whatever you want. Even if you say something wrong, Uncle won't blame you."

Gou Dan looked at the village chief, and after the village chief nodded, he said, "Uncle, I really didn't lie. My friend told me all this. He said he heard it from his dad at home."

Hearing Gou Dan say this, Yuan Changqing became interested and asked again, "Gou Dan, continue. If you finish, Uncle will give you a reward."

Hearing about the reward, Gou Dan was even happier and said cheerfully, "My friend is called Skinny Monkey. He said that once when his father was hunting in the mountains, he came across a barren mountain peak and suddenly fainted there. He almost got into danger there. If it weren't for Skinny Monkey's hunting dog, he might have died there. That's all Skinny Monkey told me."

After hearing what Gou Dan had said, Yuan Changqing also felt that there must be something strange about it. So, he said to the village chief, "Village chief, I'll need your help tomorrow to find that man named Shouhou's father."

The village chief nodded and said, "Alright, Soul Master, I'll just call them over tomorrow."

Yuan Changqing said, "No need, we'll just go find him tomorrow. I also want to ask him about the place he went to, so I can learn more about it."

"Okay, I'll do as the adults say."
