That night, Mu Zishan stumbled into the courtyard. Lu Yang came out of the room, thinking she was drunk outside again. He went over to hold her arm, but there was no smell of alcohol as expected. "What's wrong with you?"

She looked up and said, "I'm hungry!" She had mild hypoglycemia and hadn't had a proper meal in three days. After she said that, she lost all her strength and her eyes couldn't even sense the light.

Lu Yang carried her sideways into the living room, landing her on the sofa with a thud. The bag she was carrying was so heavy it made him feel uncomfortable. He first made her a cup of sugar water, then went to the kitchen to make a bowl of egg noodles.

She sniffed the aroma and ate the whole bowl of noodles, and the sugar water flowed down her esophagus into her stomach: "It feels so good!"

Lu Yang noticed the backpack on the ground. It wasn't very big, but it felt heavy. "What did you bring back this time?"

"Antiques!" Her eyes sparkled with energy. "Have you seen the latest news?"

The atmosphere grew eerie. Lu Yang looked at her suspiciously. For Mu Zishan, any decision was no surprise. She carefully pulled the object from her bag. It was a bronze vessel, stained with something disgusting, and still damp inside. Her fingers slid across it, as if meticulously examining every detail of it.

"This thing should be a burial object," Lu Yang raised his eyebrows, "and stayed with the dead for a long time."

"Yes, there was someone's skull inside when I came out," she pretended to think. "Maybe it rolled in there at some point, or maybe it got separated from the body because it was beheaded."

The wind outside blew the curtains. Lu Yang frowned. "Someone discovered a new ancient tomb in Hunan. Could this have something to do with it?"

She blinked her eyes strangely and left with the things in her arms. The short rest after eating had made her fully recovered and her mind was much clearer.

Xiaoxue approached the courtyard with the test results and bumped into Zhuo Qiang who was coming out: "What's the matter that makes you so flustered?" He bent down to pick up the paper that fell on the ground, "Be careful, lest the person inside lose his temper." He glanced at Mu Zishan in the east room, who got up early in the morning and was doing handstands in the room, and didn't even want to eat breakfast.

"Thank you." She hurried into the east room and was shocked by Mu Zishan's behavior. She was actually doing a handstand on one hand, leaning against the wall without shaking at all.

"Are there any results?" Mu Zishan let go and jumped up, feeling a little dizzy. He swayed for a while, then took the papers in her hand, sat on the chair and took a look.

"As you said, I had Ma Yiming examine the soil sample from the bronze artifact overnight. It was excavated from an ancient tomb. Analysis shows that this bronze artifact most likely dates from the Warring States Period and the Spring and Autumn Period. Because it's so old, the exact date is unclear. However, based on existing records, it's similar to bronze artifacts used in certain sacrificial ceremonies."

She put down the information and looked at her, "How did that person's blood test go?"

"It doesn't match the blood left in the bronze vessel."

As for the origins of that bronze artifact, the story began a week ago. Xiaoxue booked Mu Zishan on the last flight to Changsha that evening because that afternoon, an archaeological team discovered an ancient tomb from the Warring States Period in Hunan Province. Inside the tomb, they found a male corpse, and from the scene, there were obvious signs of a struggle.

It seems that if we can identify the other person who appeared in this ancient tomb, we will know what happened next. The key now is to find him. The police have already started to take action. Now, as long as we give them this result, the problem of finding the person will be solved.

"Send all the information we find to the police," Mu Zishan said to Xiaoxue, "and have our people keep an eye on it."

"OK."

Lu Yang waited outside for a while, seeing that they had finished their discussion, and then knocked on the door and went in: "I want to tell you something."

"Xiaoxue, please go out." Mu Zishan looked at him and said, "Sit down."

Xiaoxue went out and closed the door. She saw Zhuo Qiang in the yard, nodded at him, and then left the yard. After seeing her leave, Zhuo Qiang immediately got up and went to sit in the room next to Mu Zishan, listening to their conversation seriously.

Seeing her looking at him so seriously, Lu Yang started to get nervous and didn't even know where to put his hands. "It's like this, my parents want me to go home."

"That's good. It means they miss you and they should go back."

"But they don't just want me to go home and see them, they want to introduce a friend to me!" Lu Yang said quickly, wanting to see Mu Zishan's reaction.

"friend?"

"She's a girl. She's the daughter of my dad's friend."

"They want your two families to marry?" Mu Zishan asked. This situation is very common abroad, not to mention in China. "What do you think?"

"Do you really want to hear it?" Lu Yang asked.

"If you don't want to talk about it, forget it." She and Lu Yang rarely talked about this issue.

"I'd better say it," he glanced at the next room and said seriously, "I want you to come home with me to meet my parents."

"Then what?"

"Then, then make them give up the idea of ​​introducing women to me." Lu Yang said.

Mu Zishan thought about it and felt something was wrong: "Is it fake?"

Lu Yang was a little surprised and wasn't ready to answer her question. He just tried to test her: "What if you really become my girlfriend?"

Mu Zishan smiled and said, "Stop joking. How could we possibly do that?"

"I mean, we are friends!" Although Lu Yang was a little disappointed, he could accept this fact. After all, she really only regarded him as a friend.
