Give me beads!

Gu Mingdong originally suspected that this pocket notebook was left by the Du family. When he saw these two words, he was even more happy and quickly turned to the corresponding date.

But what surprised Gu Mingdong was that there was no corresponding record for September 15th in the records at the back of the pocket notebook.

Gu Mingdong frowned. The pocket notebook was very thin. Judging from the few words that could still be recognized occasionally, it was obvious that the owner of this notebook had only selected important parts of the records.

Soon, Gu Mingdong realized something was wrong.

In the records of September in the notebook, the rest of the days are still there, but September 15th has disappeared.

Gu Mingdong quickly flipped through the entire calendar. In addition to September 15th, a total of sixteen days were circled, namely: ancestor worship, birthday, search, visit and bead gift, including three visits. , and there were three gifts of beads.

Although the corresponding times were different, Gu Mingdong suspected that there was a connection.

With a thought, Gu Mingdong turned to the record corresponding to his first visit. Because it was so old, the text on it was a little blurry.

Gu Mingdong frowned, thought for a moment, quickly took out a pencil from the drawer, and carefully filled the paper with lead color.

Soon, the originally blurry pen writing became clearly visible.

Gu Mingdong took a closer look: "The Gu family is visiting, and the master seems to be interested."

The owner of this book was very vigilant and wrote very briefly even on the notepad.

Gu Mingdong frowned and turned to the other two pages of visit. After drawing the gourd as shown, the two words were also displayed.

"The Wei family came to visit, but the master avoided seeing him."

"The Xie family came to visit. Three families came to visit, and the master agreed."

Judging from the tone recorded on the pages, the person who wrote this information regarded the treasure hoarder as his master and regarded himself as a domestic servant.

And those three pages of visits, without exception, all preceded the gift of beads. Shortly after their visit, records of the gift of beads appeared.

Although the page for donating beads is missing, Gu Mingdong secretly guessed that the Gu family, Wei family, and Xie family recorded in the notebook may be the recipients selected by the previous owner of the Buddha bones.

So who took those three pieces of paper?

Could it be the Du family? Or did someone know the information about the Du family and took the opportunity to take away the most important information while the Du family was living in a foreign country?

Is the person who took away the three pieces of paper looking for the whereabouts of the remaining relics just like me?

Gu Mingdong thought about it and felt that there was a problem within the Du family. It was very likely that someone among them deliberately took away the three pieces of paper, because if it was an outsider, he could have taken the entire book away, so why leave part of it?

Perhaps during the war that year, the Du family was also in chaos.

It's a pity that all this is Gu Mingdong's guess. If you want to know the truth, you can't find someone from the Du family who knows the inside story.
