Yan Huai'an nodded.

"After the benefactor got married, you must know better than me, so I won't say more."

"What I want to tell you is that when the benefactor fled to the south, he still carried something very important with him."

"That thing has been passed down from generation to generation by the successive patriarchs of the tribe, and it is a symbol of status."

"It's like the heirloom jade seal of the Great Qi royal family......"

Yan Huai'an explained.

Yang Ruoqing nodded, she understood this.

The same is true of the beggars' dog-beating sticks.

A gang leader who does not have a dog beating stick is not recognized by the gang.

Yan Huai'an continued: "After the benefactor saved me, he gave me a token, with which I can get some benefactor's wealth."

"The benefactor also entrusts me, if one day, I hope I can help her bring the thing that represents the identity of the tribal patriarch back to the north, hand it over to her descendants and revitalize the tribe!"

"Then Uncle Yan, why didn't you bring it back?" Yang Ruoqing asked.

Yan Huai'an shook his head: "At that time, the benefactor's tribe had just undergone a great change, and it was rumored that the entire clan had been wiped out."

"Besides, I'm a child, and I can't find it, so the benefactor only told me where the thing was hidden, and I didn't go to pick it up and take it away." He said.

Yang Ruoqing nodded: "Then what about later?"

Yan Huai'an said: "Later, with the token of my benefactor, I found a person and obtained a fortune."

"I started with that wealth, and the business got bigger and bigger."

"Over the years, I have been secretly inquiring about the news of the exterminated tribe back then."

"Finally, in recent years, I have found the descendants of my benefactor's tribe based on some clues I have found."

"It turns out that their tribe was not completely wiped out in that killing, but one was left."

"That one was later absorbed by the Great Liao Tuoba clan and grew stronger, becoming a new force under the command of the Tuoba clan."

"After much deliberation, I finally got in touch with the group of backward descendants and told them about their benefactors."

"It turns out that after so many years of recuperation, they have gradually grown stronger."

"Now, the tribe has no leader, and it is urgent to find the token left by the previous patriarch representing the identity of the patriarch."

"And that token was brought to the south by the benefactor back then, and it was hidden in the sleeping cow mountain behind this village." Yan Huai'an.

After hearing all this, Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang exchanged glances, and both of them were stunned.

"Uncle Yan, you came to tell me about this today because you want me to help you find that thing, right?" She asked.

Yan Huai'an nodded: "Miss Yang is really smart, she can understand it at all, and it is not in vain that I think about it, and I plan to entrust this important task to you."

Yang Ruoqing smiled modestly: "I'm just a little woman, I don't have any big skills, Uncle Yan loves me."

"Uncle Yan, where is that thing hidden? When do you want it? She then asked.

Yan Huai'an thought for a moment: "The sooner the better."

"I'm planning to leave for the north on the sixth day of the first lunar month."

"In such a hurry? Why not stay longer? Lantern Festival to see the lanterns! Yang Ruoqing asked.

Yan Huai'an said: "I have to go back before the heavy snow closes the mountain, otherwise, the mountain road to the north will be blocked, and if I wait, it will be until the end of February."

Yang Ruoqing nodded and glanced at Luo Fengtang.

"Why don't we go into the mountains tomorrow and look for it?" She asked.

Luo Fengtang said: "You have the final say, I can do it."

Yang Ruoqing nodded, and her gaze returned to Yan Huai'an: "Mianniu Mountain is so big, there is no doubt that you are looking for a needle in a haystack to find something, where is that thing hidden, is there a clue?"

Yan Huai soothed his beard and made a gesture of recollection.

"The benefactor told me that the thing was hidden by her in a mirror-like mountain......"

In the mountains like mirrors?

Yang Ruoqing looked at Luo Fengtang again.

Luo Fengtang frowned slightly, and a trace of thought flashed in his eyes.

After a moment, he said: "I am familiar with the terrain in this mountain, and I know of a place where the terrain is dangerous, and the cliffs and cliffs are indeed like a mirror!"

Yang Ruoqing's eyes lit up, "Okay, Tang Yanzi, we will leave early tomorrow morning." ”

Luo Fengtang nodded.

Yan Huai'an was grateful and apologetic, and said to the two: "Tomorrow is the Chinese New Year's Eve, and I have to let the two of you go into the mountain ......."

"Uncle Yan, you must not say that." Yang Ruoqing said.

"You came over this time and brought us such a big helper from the old Yang family."

"We'll help you find something, and that's right."

"What's more, this thing also involves my great-grandmother......" she said.

Yan Huai'an nodded, looking at Yang Ruoqing's gaze, appreciating it with a little more relief.

In the past few days, he has observed all the children and grandchildren of the old Yang family, both openly and secretly.

He found that only the Yang girl in front of him could accept his entrustment.

She looks young, but she is in a calm mood.

Fang just told her about her ancestors, and she didn't show too much consternation and panic.

Calm and calm, at a glance, he has seen the wind and waves.

"Uncle, I happen to have something confusing here, and I want to ask you."

Yang Ruoqing's voice pulled Yan Huai'an's thoughts back.

"What's the matter? Miss Yang, please speak. He said.

Yang Ruoqing asked: "Great-grandmother's family tribe, why did you just tell me about it, uncle?"

"My grandfather and uncle are all descendants of my great-grandmother, and they are all grandfathers."

"Isn't it nice for us to hide from them and go into the mountains to find that important thing......" she asked.

Yan Huai'an smiled when he heard this.

He raised his hand to stop Yang Ruoqing's question, and said in a deep voice: "This matter, because it involves the revival of the tribe of your ancestors, is very important."

"There are many people, and I'm worried that they will find out, and when the time comes, the news will spread, and it will be inappropriate."

Yan Huai'an analyzed.

"Besides, this is a matter for the northern aliens after all."

"Decades ago, your great-grandmother came to the area of Mianniu Mountain, and she has lived and multiplied here."

"If the Great Qi Imperial Court knows that your Yang family is involved with the northern alien race, it will inevitably cause unnecessary disasters for you."

"It's better not to tell you about this now, and I'll entrust everything to you."

"When the time comes, you can tell them at your discretion, okay?" Yan Huai'an asked.

Yang Ruoqing thought about it carefully and felt reasonable.

"Well, I understand, Uncle Yan don't worry, the juniors know what to do." She said.

"That's good!" Yan Huai'an breathed a long sigh of relief.

……

Early the next morning, Luo Fengtang came to Yang Ruoqing's house to wait for her.

Overnight, Yang Ruoqing told Yang Huazhong and Sun that she was going to go up the mountain today, but she was looking for a separate pretext.

Seeing Luo Fengtang coming over in the morning, Sun Shi still couldn't help but tell the two: "Go early and return early, you must catch the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner at night!"
