Xiao Lengshuang looked at her brother.
Clearly, this house is very important to them.
So, they were willing to burn down the paulownia tree to ensure the safety of the house.
Laughing madly, he pursed his lips and raised his chin. "Go ahead, do as Mr. Hao Fang says."
They've all left.
Xiao Tang then thought about seizing the time to exchange the excavator with the dog system.
[Brother, it's extremely urgent! Please exchange it for me quickly, and give me a discount, half price!]
【Host, since you're begging me like this, I'm willing to give you a 50% discount.】
…emmm
Xiao Tang chuckled inwardly.
She really should thank it.
Thank you to its whole family.
This Dogecoin system is never praiseworthy; it's always so annoying.
Okay, half price it is.
Half price is better than wasting 5000 points.
[However, host, I must remind you that this excavator is a large object, so please make sure it doesn't disturb the neighbors.]
It's not disturbing the peace at all!
She's disturbing the spirits!
Xiao Tang nodded and finally redeemed an excavator for 2,500 points.
Considering that this excavator can be reused in the future, 2500 isn't expensive...
When Xiao Fengdian came over with oil and a tinderbox, he heard a loud rumbling sound coming from the backyard.
The ground shook.
The brother and sister rushed to the backyard in shock, both of them frozen in place.
Xiao Lengshuang stared in astonishment, her mouth slightly agape, at the strange... what was that thing in front of her?
Xiao Tang easily dug out the tree roots, and at the same time, he also dug out a wooden box.
thump.
The wooden box fell to the ground.
Xiao Tang got off the excavator and saw the brother and sister standing in the wind looking disheveled. She calmly smiled and said, "Don't ask me questions, go and see that thing."
Xiao Lengshuang nodded stiffly and walked awkwardly toward the wooden box that had fallen to the ground.
Laughing hysterically, he quickly chased after them and hurriedly grabbed it first.
While the brother and sister were distracted, Xiao Tang quickly instructed the system to recall the excavator.
"This is..." Xiao Lengshuang exclaimed in surprise as she opened the wooden box, "This is Grandmother's hairpin."
The hairpin is inlaid with red agate gemstones.
Noble and elegant.
It's not surprising that my maternal grandmother was a great beauty when she was young.
But Xiao Tang snatched it away.
"Hey? What are you grabbing?" he laughed maniacally, clearly annoyed.
"This is not a gemstone."
The brother and sister exchanged a glance.
"This is the Taotie Stone, an ancient evil stone."
The brother and sister exclaimed in unison: "Evil Stone?"
Xiao Lengshuang suddenly thought of something and covered her mouth, "Gluttonous Stone...that sounds familiar, brother, do you remember it?"
Reminded by his sister, Xiao Fengdian also fell into deep thought. Then, he clapped his hands, full of surprise.
"I see, isn't that what Marquis Dingbei has been looking for lately?"
"Really?" Xiao Tang's eyes lit up as she received important information.
To be honest, she really needed something like that to go to Marquis Dingbei.
Mission accomplished!
She coughed a few times in a deliberately deep voice, then spoke: "This matter can be big or small. Since the Marquis of Dingbei wants this item, I will send it to the two of you."
"Are you... sure?" Xiao Fengdian looked at her suspiciously. "You don't know that the Marquis of Dingbei is the mortal enemy of your regent?"
"You wouldn't be thinking of taking this opportunity to assassinate Marquis Dingbei, would you?"
The two siblings started to have wild thoughts.
This is not merely a feud between the Regent and the Marquis of Dingbei, but a struggle between the Great Sheng Kingdom and the Northern Frontier Kingdom.
In the northern frontier, the Marquis of Dingbei was a powerful ruler guarding the border and a general commanding 300,000 elite troops.
Although he was granted a title and official rank, he firmly held half of the military power in his own hands.
Xiao Tang rolled her eyes at the two of them.
"To be fair, I'm the strategist, I wouldn't dare to act rashly."
"Uh..." This is the first time I've heard someone describe assassination as something done by reckless people.
After hesitating for a moment, as if he had made up his mind, Xiao Fengdian finally handed the hairpin in his hand to Xiao Tang.
Thinking of everything that had happened in this house, even though it was his grandmother's keepsake, he didn't want to keep it anymore.
Xiao Lengshuang stared at the hairpin, hesitated for a moment, reached out as if to touch it, but finally withdrew her hand.
"Mr. Hao Fang, will other people who possess this evil stone encounter the same fate as us?"
"No, it might have attracted something even more evil."
Xiao Tang answered their questions with a smile, weighing the hairpin in her hand.
This is a good thing.
When the main villain realizes that she helped him solve a major problem, wouldn't he be incredibly moved?
Two days later.
With the matter of the haunted house settled, Xiao Tang bid farewell to the brother and sister.
Having regained his original appearance, Xiao Fengdian no longer needed to cover it with a black cloth.
The brother and sister personally escorted her to the door.
Xiao Lengshuang looked at Xiao Tang with great reluctance, "Mr. Hao Fang, please don't hesitate to ask for our help next time."
Although laughing hysterically was a bit awkward, he still nodded in agreement.
Xiao Tang waved his hand, "No need to see me off, that's enough for now, you two, farewell."
"Hey!" Just as she was about to leave, the man awkwardly called out to her, "I, my real name is Xiao Yiran, and my sister's name is Xiao Lengshuang. You... you should remember to contact us if you need anything in the future."
Xiao Tang paused slightly.
She turned her head to look at them.
What a coincidence that the surname Xiao is.
So what?
The original owner was cannon fodder, an unpopular country bumpkin in the Xiao family, and had absolutely no connection with her scumbag father, Duke Xiao.
