~8 min read 1,413 words

Finding all the information about Ye Chen's dual identity through Xiao Churan and Ma Lan indeed made Lin Wan'er feel extremely excited.

She felt that this trip to Jin Ling seemed to have God's help in the dark, making everything extremely smooth.

However, she didn't plan to approach the mother and daughter, let alone approach Ye Chen.

She felt that she should stick to her plan from yesterday and never take the initiative to contact Ye Chen until school started and she became friends with Claudia.

And at this time, Ye Chen didn't know that the little girl he accidentally saved in Northern Europe had already investigated all the information about his two identities clearly.

At this time, Chen Zekai called him and said respectfully on the phone: "Young Master, I have already confirmed with Palace Master Wan. The old lady you are looking for just returned to her rural hometown in Shu Nan with her son some time ago. I have already obtained the specific address. When do you plan to go over?"

Ye Chen said without hesitation: "As soon as possible, get it done before Su Shoudao's wedding."

As he spoke, Ye Chen added: "You arrange the plane, we will leave tomorrow morning, and you will accompany me."

Chen Zekai immediately agreed: "Okay, Young Master, I will arrange the plane now, as well as the vehicles after arrival. Because the old lady lives in the mountains, we have to fly to Zunhuai in Gui Province first, and then drive from Zunhuai to Shu Nan. After the plane lands, there will be about four hours of driving."

"Good." Ye Chen responded and instructed: "You arrange for people to go to Shu Du today, buy a second-hand small villa that is close to a Grade A hospital and has a lively atmosphere, and then buy a storefront near the villa that is suitable for opening a small supermarket."

The Phoenix Bone Vine that the old lady gave to Ye Chen is a priceless treasure to Ye Chen, not only helping him refine twenty Reshaping Pills, but the remaining part can also play a huge role in the future.

Therefore, Ye Chen is also quite grateful to the old lady.

Even though he saved her and her son's lives in Mexico, Ye Chen still feels that he owes the old lady a favor.

This time he went to see the old lady, in addition to fulfilling his promise that day, he also hoped to give the old lady and her son a stable life for the rest of their lives.

Shu Du is the capital of Chuan Shu and also the city with the best development in Chuan Shu. The old lady living in the mountains not only has poor conditions, but as she gets older in the future, there will inevitably be many inconveniences.

Therefore, Ye Chen intends to let Chen Zekai arrange for people to buy a warmer small villa in Shu Du first, and then buy a storefront.

Although the old lady's son doesn't have much ability, he ran all the way to Mexico to be a seaman in order to let his mother live a good life. Although he was cheated, it can also prove that he is indeed willing to suffer and work hard.

If he wants to do something, he can open a small supermarket at his doorstep in the future.

Opening a small supermarket now, although it doesn't earn much, it wins because the process is simple and the threshold is low. And if the storefront is his own, it can basically be stable and profitable.

Hearing this, Chen Zekai said without hesitation: "Okay, Young Master, then I will arrange for people to go over first, and strive to get it done before we see the old lady tomorrow."

Ye Chen hummed, remembered something, and said: "By the way, send me a copy of the old lady's background information, I'll take a look first."

"Okay, Young Master." Chen Zekai said without hesitation: "I will send it to your WeChat immediately."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Zekai sent the document to Ye Chen.

After reading it, Ye Chen found that the old lady's background was very simple, but it seemed to have some extraordinary aspects.

The old lady's surname is Jiang, her name is Nanqiao. She was born in the Shu Nan mountain area and grew up in the Shu Nan mountain area since she was a child. She didn't even marry far away, but married a young man from the same village.

In the fifty-plus years that followed, she probably rarely left this small mountain village, because every census, she was a permanent resident of the family, and the data clearly indicated that she cooperated in person during the census.

And that village, at its peak, only had more than forty households and more than three hundred people. Now the population loss is serious, and only more than ten households and more than forty people live here, and most of them are middle-aged and elderly people.

Looking at it this way, the old lady should be the most ordinary left-behind elderly person in the mountain village, and her life has been simple to the point of being simple, and ordinary to the point of being ordinary.

But the reason why Ye Chen felt that she seemed to have some extraordinary aspects was because of her name, Nanqiao.

Under his father's influence in his early years, Ye Chen read a lot of books, so he saw at a glance that this "Nanqiao" came from a sentence in the "Book of Songs": "In the south are the trees, and you cannot rest under them."

An eighty-year-old lady, if her parents were not scholars, it would be impossible to give her such a name.

The gold content of scholars eighty years ago cannot be compared with today.

Moreover, Ye Chen also remembered that when he saw the old lady in the underground prison in Mexico, she had told him about the origin of the Phoenix Bone Vine bracelet. Her ancestors were famous doctors in the Tang Dynasty, and this Phoenix Bone Vine was passed down by her ancestors. Unfortunately, although her family passed down the Phoenix Bone Vine, the inheritance of medical skills was broken during the An Lushan Rebellion.

Passing down an object is simple, but passing down a skill is too difficult. The former only needs to "hand over" the object to the next generation, while the latter needs to "teach" a lifetime of learning to the next generation. Although both are "jiao," the former may only take a second, but the latter may take a lifetime.

Moreover, although the old lady only briefly described the origin of the Phoenix Bone Vine that day, it could prove that the old lady's family has been passed down in an orderly manner for 1,500 years.

This point is extremely rare.

In other words, in the turbulent feudal society for more than a thousand years, being able to ensure the orderly inheritance of the family proves that this family is very strong.

Those who are not strong enough, even if they can survive various disasters, it is difficult to ensure the continued inheritance of the family. For example, after a turmoil, only one child is left in the family. This child begs for a living all the way, and is finally adopted by others, given a new surname and a new name. In this case, if he can still remember what his original surname was, it is already extremely rare. Letting him remember the basic information of his ancestors and the core points of the family inheritance is completely a daydream.

But if the strength is strong enough, it is different. Even if only one child is left in the turmoil, the family has ancestral property, gold and silver, books, and genealogy, plus the help of relatives with different surnames. After this child grows up, he can still pass on the family inheritance.

Of course, this kind of strength does not necessarily mean having enough money and social status. It can also be a special ability. If a certain craft is passed down from generation to generation, allowing every generation to have enough to eat, then this family can probably be passed down all the time.

However, the old lady once said that their family's medical skills had long been broken, so presumably, their ancestors must have other extraordinary abilities.
