On the way back, Si Niannian and Bu Chensu saw people having barbecues and having fun by the river again. They seemed to be celebrating something.
"Old Zhang, your son is really amazing. He has awakened his superpowers at the age of 19. When he becomes a high official in a big city, you will enjoy a happy life. Don't forget us old neighbors."
The person being complimented was a middle-aged man who seemed a little drunk and smiled from ear to ear.
"Hahaha, definitely."
"Hey? Lao Zhang, didn't someone say that your daughter was very talented a few years ago..."
"He's just a loser, so what if he has talent? Sooner or later he will be from someone else's family. Do I still need to spend money to train him? My son is different..."
Si Niannian and Bu Chensu walked further and further away, and the voices of those people became smaller and smaller until they could no longer be heard.
…
The next morning, Si Niannian and Bu Chensu did not leave the B&B. It was not until 10:20 that the young woman from last night came over.
"I'm sorry, the child kept crying, so I had no choice but to bring him over."
The little baby was sleeping soundly. Perhaps he felt the strangeness of the environment, and suddenly woke up. Just as he was about to cry, his eyes fell on Si Niannian, and he suddenly grinned.
"He's so cute."
This was the first time Si Niannian saw such a small baby, and she liked it so much that she took out a jade pendant and hung it on his head without thinking.
"This is too expensive..."
"Jade is the most nourishing thing. This child has a weak constitution, so wear it. It's worthless." Si Niannian said with a smile.
The baby was still laughing, waving his little hands and tapping his feet twice, seemingly very happy.
"Thank you so much. You are really just like your mother, warm-hearted and kind."
After looking at the child, the young woman took something out of her arms and wrapped it in several layers of cloth. When she opened it, it turned out to be a jade seal.
"This is your mother's thing. I think it's best to give it to you."
Si Niannian took the jade seal over and said with excitement, "It turns out mom left something here."
She turned the jade seal over and found that the inscriptions on it were covered by something, making it impossible to see clearly.
Bu Chensu sat aside, always observing the young woman's expression.
"Why is this jade seal here with you?"
The jade seal that has been opened by aura is equivalent to a magic weapon. Bu Chensu doesn't believe that Xinian's mother would just hand it over to an outsider.
"My name is Peng Lan. I am 20 years old. I met your mother 15 years ago. She said her surname was Xiao and she bought my natal house. She is very powerful and knows many things. She is like a fairy from the sky. She said it was a superpower and that I was very talented, so she started teaching me.”
Peng Lan smiled brightly when she recalled it. Even after so many years, that period was still the happiest day in her life.
"But then my family found out and they didn't let me continue studying. They also said that Sister Xiao was a witch because someone really came to hunt her down. People here couldn't tolerate her anymore. They said she would bring disaster to Jiangzhuang. At the critical moment, a very handsome man came and took Sister Xiao away. "
"What about this jade seal?" Si Niannian looked up.
Peng Lan sighed softly, "This is what Sister Xiao threw away before she left. She threw it into the deepest cellar of the forest farm. It has been abandoned for a long time and no one uses it anymore. I was not far away at the time, and I saw Sister Xiao crying. I thought, this thing must be very important to her, but she was actually reluctant to part with it. Somehow, I went down to the cellar and picked it up. "
