Haoyu's eyes widened. His mother hadn't mentioned it; how did Er Ya know? "What treasure?"
Er Ya chuckled: "Golden and shiny~"
Er Ya's words stunned the children. Shuanzi leaned over and asked curiously, "Er Ya, what do you mean by 'golden'? Is it gold?"
Er Ya tilted her head, thought for a moment, and said, "I don't know, but it's a golden treasure, so Mom will definitely bring it back."
Haoyu frowned, feeling a little worried. He knew that his mother was definitely not going out to look for any treasure, but must have something very important to do. However, after Er Ya said that, he was afraid that Er Ya had heard it from somewhere, and it would be bad if it got out and others found out.
"Er Ya, don't talk nonsense. Mom just went to help Dad. There's no treasure. Let's go to sleep quietly. Maybe Mom will be back when we open our eyes tomorrow morning," Hao Yu said to his younger siblings.
Upon hearing this, Liu Zi, though still missing his mother, obediently lay down, closed his eyes, and mumbled, "Then Mom, you have to come back soon."

Lin Ying sighed softly and said, "I'm just afraid that if those people with ill intentions find out about the children, it will be bad for them. I really shouldn't have left them outside."
Zhao Qinghuai gripped her hand tightly and said, "There's no use thinking about these things now. We need to pull ourselves together and deal with the situation. I've already contacted my superiors today and explained the situation here. Someone will help keep an eye on the children's movements and also investigate who in the military leaked the map."
Lin Ying nodded, trying to calm herself down, but the images of the children kept flashing through her mind.
