Chapter 188: Treasure Hunt
As night fell, everything was silent. A vague figure loomed in the moonlight, like a ghost.
Ling Yao stopped and stared at the barren land in front of her. There were weeds growing here, more than a person tall. In this quiet night, the breeze blew, and the weeds made bursts of rustling sounds, revealing a hint of weirdness and fear.
Ling Yao was about to look around to see if she could find the treasure.
Then she heard Xinghuo's anxious cry from the space.
She thought about it and released Xinghuo from the space.
As soon as Xinghuo came out of the space, he excitedly rubbed his head against Ling Yao's calf, called twice, and then ran quickly in one direction.
"Xinghuo, wait!" Ling Yao hurriedly chased after him.
Xinghuo ran, pausing from time to time, as if sensing something.
Ling Yao followed Xinghuo, running and stopping all the way, and finally came to a big tree.
Xinghuo circled the tree a few times, and began to dig the soil on the ground with his claws, and at the same time barked at Ling Yao twice.
"Xinghuo, did you find something?" Ling Yao knew that there was a treasure hidden underground, but she didn't know the exact location of the treasure.
Xinghuo barked "Woof!" in response and continued to dig the soil.
Seeing this, Ling Yao took out the tools, "Xinghuo, get out of the way, let me do it."
"Woof!" Xinghuo sensibly stepped aside.
After working all night, Ling Yao suddenly heard a "bang!" and the shovel in her hand seemed to have hit something.
She stopped and looked down, and saw a dark wooden box where the shovel had just hit.
She smiled happily, "There is indeed a treasure here." She thought about it and put the wooden box into the space. She planned to wait until she got back to see what was in the wooden box.
Ling Yao filled the ground that had just been dug, and then found some weeds and bricks to cover it, making everything look as if it had never been touched.
After completing all this, she put away the tools with satisfaction.
Holding Xinghuo, Ling Yao rubbed its head, "Xinghuo, can you sense the existence of treasures?"
"Woof!" Xinghuo barked, as if to give an affirmative answer.
"That's amazing! Are there any other treasures here?" Ling Yao asked expectantly, and took out a pill from her arms and fed it to Xinghuo as a reward.
Xinghuo swallowed the pill, wagged its tail happily, and then concentrated on carefully sensing the surrounding atmosphere.
After a while, it shook its little head first, and then barked twice, "Woof woof!"
"What a smart dog." Ling Yao praised with a smile, and lowered her head to kiss Xinghuo on the dog's head. If it weren't for Xinghuo leading the way this time, she would never have been able to find the things so easily.
Xinghuo shyly raised her two little paws to cover her face.
Seeing Xinghuo's cute look, Ling Yao couldn't help laughing.
When Ling Yao returned home, the sky had already turned a faint fish belly white, like a layer of gauze gently covering the earth. Strands of golden sunlight penetrated the gaps in the clouds, sprinkled on the vast horizon, and brought a touch of warmth and light to the whole world.
After closing the door, Ling Yao immediately entered the space.
With full of expectations, she walked to the old wooden box that had just been dug out, stretched out her fair and slender hands and gently lifted the lid.
With a slight "creaking" sound, the box lid slowly opened, and what came into view was a box full of dazzling gold and silver jewelry.
Ling Yao frowned slightly, "Could this be the so-called treasure?" Although these treasures are indeed valuable, they are far from what she expected.
Moreover, if it were just these vulgar things, Xinghuo should not be affected.
Thinking of this, Ling Yao decided to see what else was in the box besides these gold and silver jewelry.
She took out the gold and silver jewelry piled up in the box one by one and put them aside.
When all the things were emptied, she found an object wrapped tightly in cloth strips at the bottom of the box.
Ling Yao's eyes lit up, and she reached out her hand and carefully took the things out, slowly peeling off the outer layer of cloth.
Just as the cloth was peeled off, a dazzling white light suddenly burst out.
Ling Yao felt a sharp pain in her eyes, as if she was pierced by thousands of needles at the same time.
Then, her eyes went black, her body slowly fell backwards, and she lost consciousness...
Jiang Chunhua stared at the luxurious small western-style building in front of her with wide eyes, extremely excited. Is this her future home? Even in her dreams, she has never seen such a big and luxurious house. When she
walked into the house and saw the furnishings inside, she was even more excited, and even the muscles on her face trembled slightly involuntarily. When she thought that she would live here in the future, she couldn't hold back her joy and excitement, and couldn't help laughing out loud. She didn't expect that Jiang Chunhua would have such a day. At
this moment, she felt that the whole world had become beautiful, and she had become the protagonist of this world.
When Mr. Zhu and Zhu Yunchang heard that Jiang Chunhua had arrived, they immediately walked towards the living room.
Hearing Jiang Chunhua's laughter from afar, the two looked at each other and quickened their pace.
Walking into the living room, their eyes fell on Jiang Chunhua's body. Her skin was dark and rough, her hair was greasy, and there were a few white dandruffs. Her face was covered with dense freckles and deep and shallow wrinkles. She doesn't look like a person in her forties at all. On the contrary, she looks older than Old Master Zhu.
When Jiang Chunhua saw someone coming, she quickly covered her mouth, but she couldn't control the smile on her lips. She had a very hard life. Her parents died when she was in her teens. Later, she finally got married, but her husband got tuberculosis and died a few years later.
People in the village said that she was unlucky in marriage, so no one dared to introduce her to a marriage. She has been alone all these years. People thought that she would be like this in her life, but she didn't expect that God would be kind to her and let her become a lady of a wealthy family.
Old Master Zhu and Zhu Yunchang looked at Jiang Chunhua, and their brows became more and more furrowed. Is this really his daughter (sister)? Why doesn't she look like her at all?
"What can you do to prove your identity?" A sense of resistance welled up in Mr. Zhu's heart. He didn't like Jiang Chunhua at first sight.
"Yes, I have it." Jiang Chunhua took out a dark black handkerchief from her pocket. She opened the handkerchief and took out a gold lock from it. "This is what I wore when my father picked me up. Look."
Zhu Yunchang walked forward, took the gold lock from Jiang Chunhua, and then handed it to Old Master Zhu.
Old Master Zhu took it and looked at the gold lock carefully. His eyes gradually turned red, and his hands couldn't help shaking slightly. "It's this... It's this..."
