Chapter 233 Conjecture
Ling Chuan's eyes turned cold when he heard this. He lowered his head and stared at the boy and said solemnly, "They might be coming for you."
Xia Mo stared at him and agreed, "I think so too."
Since the other party was able to find Liujia Village directly and was looking for someone by name, and even his age and birthday matched Ze Ge'er's, it was hard not to be suspicious.
Think about Liu Qiuwu. The reason why he was able to find this was because of Li Jingran's suspicion. He had been looking for his sister for more than ten years and had no idea that he had a nephew at all.
But this rich lady who claimed to be a relative knew everything, as if she knew that Liu Yun came here and watched her get married and have children.
Of course, all of the above are Xia Mo’s indiscriminate criticisms.
"Mo'er, could the person who is looking for you be from your hometown like you?" After witnessing Xia Mo's weirdness, Ling Chuan's three views and ideas have been reorganized, and he directly expressed his suspicions.
Time travel? Another time traveler?
Xia Mo frowned, "Brother Chuan, do you suspect she came from another world?"
Ling Chuan nodded, "But this statement is a bit far-fetched. She seems to have information about you, but it's not comprehensive."
Even if that person came from the same place as the young man, it would be impossible for her to predict the future, unless she already knew everything about the young man before she traveled through time.
Thinking of this, Ling Chuan couldn't help but be frightened. A dark tide surged in his lowered eyes, and a chill came over his body.
His little brother now possesses a rare treasure. If the other party is a villain who covets his treasure...
The more he thought about it, the sharper Ling Chuan's eyes became.
After hearing his words, Xia Mo's thoughts instantly diverged, and he couldn't help but think of the book he read in his soul state in his previous life.
If his previous world was a book, can we infer that the world he is in now is also a book? And that rich lady first learned the information of this world and then traveled in?
But this is not true, because he did not change back to his original name. He is still "Liu Ze" in front of others. Except for his brother Chuan, no one knows he is Xia Mo.
So how did she know that there was a boy named Xia Mo in Liujia Village, Qinghe County? Or was there a change in the script?
Xia Mo's thoughts were in a mess, and he always felt like he was missing something.
Seeing that he was frowning and anxious, Ling Chuan interrupted him, "Mo'er, she is in the light and we are in the dark, why don't we observe secretly?"
Hearing this, Xia Mo looked at the man, his clear eyes meeting his dark pupils, "Brother Chuan, do you mean to find the person out and keep an eye on him?"
"Yes, this matter is full of doubts. We can't take it lightly when we are not sure of the other party's intentions." Ling Chuan's eyes were deep, staring at the boy's fair face.
He dares to bet on everything except his younger brother. Only in this way can he feel at ease.
Xia Mo nodded. Since they felt that the other party was suspicious, they really couldn't be careless. It would be better to have someone keep an eye on them.
After all, one should not have the intention to harm others, but one must be on guard against others, and they have to take precautions before things happen.
But speaking of finding someone...
Xia Mo couldn't help but recall the conversation between the aunts, and the first thing he thought of was the reward money Aunt Afang received.
Yes, isn't this reward too much? Most importantly, it's unreasonable to give so much money when the person hasn't been found yet. Could it be that the other party is taking advantage of the opportunity to help the poor while asking for information?
"One tael of silver is not a small amount. It's just a reward. A few copper coins are already very high. And they reward one tael of silver for asking a question. Tsk... are they really generous? Or are they showing off their wealth to lure people in?"
"The latter." Ling Chuan said without thinking. His little brother was indeed smart and thought the same as him.
"The more money you give out, the faster the news will spread. I believe it will soon spread to other villages." Ling Chuan paused, glanced at the boy again, and continued:
"At that time, ordinary people will think about meeting a noble person and replying to get a reward, while those who meet the requirements or are smart will most likely take the initiative to acknowledge their relationship."
Xia Mo suddenly realized: "I was wondering why they offered so much reward. So this is the idea. I have to say they are quite smart... So they won't give up the search for 'Xia Mo' so soon."
Ling Chuan narrowed his eyes: "That's right, so it's not difficult to find the lady behind them."
Xia Mo nodded. It was not difficult to find the other party. He just needed to send someone to wait in other villages. Then he could follow the servants back and find out who their lady was.
"Brother Chuan, your brothers will have to work hard on this matter again." Xia Mo said, thinking that apart from making some money, he still had to rely on his brother Chuan for other things.
Ling Chuan smiled lightly, "It's not that hard. Haven't you already thought of a job for them to make a living? Just consider it as a reward."
Xia Mo curled his lips, "That seems to work."
After a detailed chat, the young couple realized that they were the advantageous party and smiled at each other. The heavy atmosphere that shrouded them was also swept away.
Because of this, Xia Mo's mood improved and his mind became clearer. As he was walking, he suddenly clenched his fists and exclaimed "ah", with a bright light flashing in his eyes.
Ling Chuan thought something was wrong with him, and asked anxiously, "What happened to Mo'er?"
Xia Mo smiled and shook his head, his eyes curved like a crescent moon, "Brother Chuan, I figured it out!"
"Hmm?" Figured out what?
Ling Chuan's eyes were full of doubts, but when he saw that the boy didn't cry out because he was feeling unwell, he felt relieved.
"Brother Chuan, don't you suspect that she came from another world? I thought about it again and again, and suddenly I felt that there was a situation that fits her better." Xia Mo spoke quickly, as excited as a detective who solved a big case.
Ling Chuan didn't expect that the young man was still thinking about this. He raised his eyebrows and asked him, "What kind of situation?"
"Rebirth?" Xia Mo clapped his hands, but was afraid that the man wouldn't understand, so he went on to recount this very popular modern literature of rebirth. The man's brows furrowed little by little, and finally they wrinkled into the shape of Lingchuan's "Chuan".
Xia Mo said a lot of nonsense, then looked at the man and said, "This is what rebirth means. Brother Chuan, do you understand?"
Ling Chuan didn't reply to him immediately. His dark and angry eyes stared at him without blinking. It was not until Xia Mo mistakenly thought that he didn't understand and wanted to explain in more detail that he said "hmm" in a low voice.
"Mo'er said that she was originally from this world, and the world is reincarnated. After her death, her soul returned to a certain point in the past, such as now."
"Yeah!" Seeing that he understood, Xia Mo responded repeatedly.
Then he began to analyze: "Brother Chuan, since she knows about the person named 'Xia Mo' and where he came from, including secret information like his birthday, it stands to reason that she should know me."
Xia Mo said, pointing to his face, and said:
"But it's obvious that she couldn't recognize him. Otherwise, she could have asked someone to draw his portrait. Wouldn't it be easier to have the servants use the portrait to find the person? Secondly, she didn't know that 'Xia Mo' was 'Liu Ze'."
"So, based on the above, does it mean that this information is just what she 'heard'? Or, if she was reborn, this is all she knew before she died?"
After Xia Mo finished speaking, he looked at the man eagerly, waiting for him to praise him as usual, but the man fell silent after listening, and remained silent for a long time.
"...Mo'er means that Mo'er traveled through time in the previous life? It's just that the trajectory of this life is different from the previous life. Because you didn't change your name, she couldn't find you?"
