Chapter 490 Being monitored by a snake?
Zhao Weiming and his son parted unhappily after a dispute. Zhao Weiming sighed deeply in his heart and suddenly felt frustrated. He felt that he had delayed his child's education. After his wife died, he should have found a woman to take care of the family. In this way, he would not have to go to work and neglect the children. As a result, Zhao Lianfeng now doesn't even listen to him and has become so stubborn and obstinate.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Weiming thought of Li Wan again. Thinking that today was Li Wan's wedding day, he sighed in his heart and returned to his room.
The private restaurant was extremely lively. Friends and relatives of the Li family, neighbors in the compound, colleagues of Gu Xinsheng and Li Wan, and Fu Yuzhen's family who came from the Northeast, occupied more than ten tables, and even the yard was filled with tables.
The dishes on the table were also very rich, including duck in wine, four-happiness meatballs, braised pork, rabbit stewed with potatoes, white meat in casserole, braised spareribs...
The eight meat dishes and four vegetable dishes won praises from all the guests attending the wedding banquet.
The Li family, as well as close relatives and friends, and important guests were all arranged in the main hall of the private restaurant. Su Qing sat with Fu Yuzhen's family. Since Li Wan returned to Beijing, she had resumed contact with Fu Yuzhen. Although the two had not seen each other for many years, their relationship was still very good and they kept writing letters to each other. Last year, Li Wan, accompanied by Gu Xinsheng, returned to Xiyuan County to reunite with Fu Yuzhen. Naturally, Fu Yuzhen's family was invited to Beijing for Li Wan's wedding banquet this time.
"Qingqing, your mother has finally gotten what she deserves." Looking at Li Wan and Gu Xinsheng toasting at the table and Li Wan's bright smile, Fu Yuzhen sighed and said to Su Qing that she had felt sorry for this good sister back then. Although Su Shengjun's family was not that good, Su Shengjun was a very good person and was devoted to Li Wan. It's a pity that good people do not live long. Su Shengjun's sudden death back then was really unexpected and shocking, but fortunately, Li Wan now has new happiness.
"Yes." Su Qing smiled and said, "Uncle Gu is a very nice person. He is very nice to me and my mother. My grandparents also like Uncle Gu very much."
"You can tell." Fu Yuzhen said with a smile, "It will get better and better in the future."
"Yeah." Su Qing nodded.
Pan Youming, who was standing by, smiled and said, "Of course, life will get better and better in the future. Mom, I really hope we can live in Beijing as soon as possible."
This is the first time for the Pan brothers to come to Beijing. After arriving in Beijing two days ago, Su Qing took them for a stroll in Beijing. The brothers were so overwhelmed that they kept saying that they wanted to live in Beijing in the future. This proposal made Fu Yuzhen and his wife seriously consider it.
Seeing this, Su Qing suggested that they buy a house in Beijing while housing prices are not expensive, and then find an opportunity to transfer their jobs to Beijing. In this way, the whole family can settle down in Beijing.
Fu Yuzhen and his wife were really tempted by this proposal, especially Fu Yuzhen. If he could really settle down in Beijing, he would be able to meet his friends more often in the future.
The couple discussed it and decided to go back and look into the issue of job transfer first. If they could really be transferred to Beijing, they would then come to Beijing to look for a house.
Li Wan's wedding went smoothly. After the wedding, Su Qing followed Fu Yuzhen's family back to Xiyuan County. As for the reason for her return to Xiyuan County, Su Qing simply told Fu Yuzhen that she was going back to Lihua Village to do some things.
When they arrived in Xiyuan County, Su Qing said goodbye to Fu Yuzhen's family of four and headed towards Lihua Village.
However, Su Qing did not return to Lihua Village, but took a detour and went directly into Baihua Mountain.
Although Su Qing could not remember the location of the cliff described by Du Xiangbao very clearly because several years had passed, she was familiar with the general terrain of Baihua Mountain when she was looking for medicinal herbs there before. She had a general direction in her mind for the cliff that Du Xiangbao mentioned and could determine its approximate location. However, she had never been to the bottom of the cliff before and did not expect that that might be where Su Jianguo's body was.
Following the general direction in her mind, Su Qing entered Baihua Mountain and headed straight for the cliff.
Coming to the cliff, Su Qing rolled up a thick vine rope and slid down the cliff little by little.
This cliff is about one hundred meters high, and the cliff wall is almost completely vertical. However, the vegetation on the cliff wall is quite lush, with a lot of weeds and wild flowers growing. There is also a crooked tree growing there. However, this crooked tree seems to have been struck by lightning and has become a dead tree. But Su Qing found two decades-old Ganoderma lucidum on this dead tree, which surprised Su Qing, so she picked them up.
There were weeds and wild trees growing everywhere at the foot of the cliff, with almost no soil or open space to be seen. The shortest weeds were half a person's height, not to mention the trees that had lived at the bottom of the cliff for who knows how many years.
After following the cliff wall to the bottom, Su Qing immediately explored the surroundings. However, apart from seeing the skeletons of a few small animals, there were no suspected traces of humans.
Su Qing couldn't help but frowned slightly when she saw this. She looked up at the top of the cliff. If an ordinary person fell from such a high distance, under normal circumstances, there would be no chance of survival.
However, now, Su Qing did not find the suspected remains of Su Jianguo here. Did Su Jianguo not die after falling off the cliff, or was his body dragged away by wild beasts? Or, is this cliff not the cliff that Du Xiangbao said?
Su Qing was not sure for a moment, so she decided to look around the bottom of the cliff first. If she couldn't find it here, she planned to look for other similar cliffs. After all, she still hoped to find the remains of her original biological father as much as possible and let him rest in peace.
Although it is winter, it is not cold at the foot of the cliff. On the contrary, the temperature is quite high.
Suddenly, Su Qing discovered that there seemed to be more snakes around her.
Huh? Snakes here don't hibernate?
These snakes were either coiled on rocks or hanging on tree branches. Without exception, they were all looking in her direction, spitting out their tongues from time to time. However, Su Qing found that these snakes did not seem to have any intention of attacking her. Instead, they were more like a form of surveillance.
This idea surprised Su Qing a little. She was being monitored by a group of snakes?
Since the snakes did not attack, Su Qing just pretended that they did not exist. She did not like snakes and did not like eating snake meat. However, although she did not like snakes, as long as the snakes did not actively attack her, she did not want to kill them at will.
To be honest, these snakes lived at the bottom of the cliff, and she was an outsider who suddenly broke into the snakes' territory.
However, as Su Qing walked, these snakes also swam along with her. It seemed that wherever she went, these snakes followed her, but they did not attack her.
This made Su Qing feel a little strange, so she simply controlled the plants around her and looked into the distance.
Then, Su Qing was shocked!
