Chapter 507 Where are the coffins here?
"These bloodstains seem to be duck blood, not human blood!" the little girl murmured.
Madam Qian also came over and, seeing the blood the little girl was looking at, said, "Alright, now that we know it was man-made, things are much easier!"
Little Su Bao nodded and was about to climb down from the wall when suddenly her foot slipped and she fell to the ground.
Just then, Xiao Mobao appeared like a shadow, instantly rushing to the little girl's side.
The boy had grown quite a bit, and the moment Xiao Su Bao fell, Mo Bao reached out and caught the little girl in his arms.
"Are you alright?" Madam Qian clutched her chest and rushed over, looking Xiao Su Bao up and down.
After confirming that Xiao Su Bao was alright, Xiao Mo Bao put her down.
However, he used his lightness skill to stand directly on the top of the wall.
"There's tung oil here!" Little Ink Treasure frowned slightly, then flew around the surrounding walls.
Qian felt a chill run down her spine, but ultimately did not stop them.
“There’s a lot of tung oil here; it must have been spilled a long time ago!” Little Mo Bao said earnestly as he returned to the Qian family.
Madam Qian was taken aback, and her brows furrowed as she thought about the problems in the courtyard.
Little Su Bao's vision blurred, and she saw a new scene.
Since arriving in Beijing, Xiao Su Bao has rarely seen any new scenes.
The little girl became slightly nervous.
"What's wrong?" Qian asked worriedly, sensing something was off with the little girl.
Little Su Bao shook her head, opened her mouth as if to say something, but ultimately didn't speak.
She can't tell!
"It's alright, Mother, I just want to wander around our yard by myself!"
Little Su Bao said to Qian Shi.
"Auntie, do you also think there's treasure here?"
At this moment, Tang Sanbao came over, his eyes sparkling, and asked.
Xiao Su Bao was taken aback; she never expected her nephew, Sanbao, to have become so smart.
But this time, my nephew Sanbao was right!
There's something hidden in this house.
She didn't know what it was or where it was hidden!
But that thing was very important, and the little girl frowned slightly.
"I knew it! I knew it! How could such a big house not have something hidden inside!"
Sanbao muttered to himself, his eyes instantly sparkling.
Xiao Subao paused for a moment, but still didn't go over to tease her nephew, Sanbao.
"Su Bao..."
Qian noticed something was wrong with Xiao Su Bao and called out softly.
The little girl turned to look at Qian Shi, a helpless expression on her face.
Madam Qian sighed, and finally said, "You can play by yourselves... But if... go find your mother soon, understand?"
The little girl nodded.
Little Su Bao is now seven or eight years old and has become much more sensible.
Mrs. Qian trusted the little girl even more than her own son.
The little ones started playing wildly in the yard.
The courtyard had five sections, and they had to go to school every day, so they could only search for it after they returned.
However, before they could find what they were looking for, the spring hunting season arrived.
This time, the emperor will be taking quite a few people to the Western Hills.
That was the royal hunting grounds. In addition to some wild animals, before each hunt, people would throw their pet rabbits, pheasants, and the like into the mountains.
After all, the important people who come here are here to have fun.
When you want to hunt, you can't catch anything!
If there aren't enough wild ones, we'll supplement with the ones we raise ourselves.
The spring hunt is a major event held every year in the Great Qi Kingdom!
In Xiao Su Bao's room, the little girl had a furrowed brow, looking rather troubled.
She's always been lucky, but she just can't find that thing in here!
With her departure tomorrow, the young girl instinctively knew she had to act today.
Otherwise, I'm afraid something else might happen.
so……
In the middle of the night, Xiao Su Bao got up by himself, took out the tortoise shell, and then took out a few copper coins.
The little girl pinched the tortoise shell and shook it vigorously, then slowly poured it onto the table.
This is the Six Lines divination technique that the master has been teaching her recently, and the little girl plans to try it out.
only……
"What's wrong with this divination..."
Little Su Bao frowned, her big eyes blinking.
She wasn't satisfied, so she calculated it again!
However, the divination result remained the same.
Three times in a row, the result was the same.
The little girl put away her tortoise shell and the five-emperor coins, but her eyes looked around.
According to the divination, the location is exactly where Xiao Su Bao lives now.
She slapped her forehead, realizing she hadn't realized she'd been so oblivious to the fact that she'd forgotten about the courtyard.
You should know that this courtyard is probably the only one they haven't searched for.
The courtyard where the Qian family lived was the largest and also the main courtyard.
There is a fairly large garden in the courtyard, with excellent scenery.
At first, Mrs. Qian even wanted to pull up the flowers in the garden and plant them as vegetables.
It was only after hearing from the nanny about the situation in the courtyards of the wealthy families in the capital that she stopped.
She actually still wanted to grow some vegetables, but she couldn't let her child be laughed at by others because of her.
Later, Xiao Su Bao and the other children discussed it and specially built a vegetable garden in the backyard.
Once the gate to that courtyard is locked, who knows what's inside?
Little Su Bao immediately started searching.
First she checked her own room, but she searched every nook and cranny and found nothing.
She came out directly, her eyes scanning the surroundings.
In the courtyard, Madam Qian was learning to play chess with two maids.
Seeing the little girl come out, he couldn't help but ask curiously, "Weren't you going to sleep and going to West Mountain tomorrow? Why aren't you asleep yet?"
Little Su Bao paused slightly, then approached Madam Qian and said, "Mom, I'm fine, I just came out to play by myself!"
After the little girl finished speaking, her eyes darted around, looking her over.
Madam Qian paused, instantly guessing what was going on. She casually tossed the chess pieces into the chess box and said, "Alright, you can all leave now. You don't need to serve me here!"
Madam Qian glanced indifferently at the two maids, and also at the old woman sweeping the courtyard.
After driving everyone out of the courtyard, Madam Qian had Xiao Su Bao close the door.
"Go play by yourself. If you need any help from your mother, just come over."
Without saying anything else, Madam Qian went straight back to her courtyard.
Watching Qian Shi go inside, Xiao Su Bao paused, but that feeling made her eager to find that thing.
Little Su Bao thought that thing was very useful.
The little girl glanced around the yard, then whistled...
Just then, Little Bell and Little Tune appeared.
This time, the little guy brought these two little guys with him.
Several years have passed, and the two little ones have hardly changed.
Little Bell has been sleeping a lot lately.
"Little Bell, can you help me find out if there's any...treasure here..." Little Su Bao looked intently at Little Bell.
“Gege…” Little Bell glanced at Little Su Bao with her bright red eyes, then jumped down from her arms.
Xiao Diao Diao tilted her head and squeaked twice at Xiao Su Bao before jumping down as well.
The next moment, both little ones disappeared.
She used to bring these two little ones along whenever she took her nephews with her.
Although they didn't find what Xiao Su Bao wanted, they still found quite a few copper coins, broken silver pieces, or some broken jade jewelry in the large courtyard.
The group also found a small jewelry box. Although there wasn't much inside, the children were still very happy.
These were all found by Little Bell and Little Tune.
Little Su Bao wasn't idle either. She came over with a hoe and started digging a hole.
She's a professional at this; she dug countless holes in her own backyard back in the day.
Looking back now, Xiao Su Bao actually thinks she was quite amazing back then!
The little girl, wielding a hoe, huffed and puffed as she continued to trample on the flowers and plants in the garden...
While you're at it, loosen the soil around the plants.
Although Madam Qian went inside, her daughter still kept a close eye on her.
"My daughter wouldn't be thinking of pulling up all my flowers, would she?!"
Suddenly, Qian's eyes lit up, and she stared intently at Xiao Su Bao.
The little girl seemed to sense something, turned around, and looked towards Qian's house.
Qian quickly pulled her head back, but then felt guilty because she hadn't done anything wrong.
Little Su Bao glanced instinctively at the garden behind her, at its desolate state...
The young girl was even more guilty than Qian Shi.
Neither mother nor daughter dared to look up again, for fear that what they were doing would be seen by others.
Little Su Bao searched for a long time, and the garden was now completely full of potholes.
However, there was nothing there!
Little Su Bao was about to think she had dug up the wrong thing when she saw Little Bell return.
The little guy had a large gold ingot in his mouth.
Little Su Bao was stunned for a moment, then her eyes lit up instantly!
Could it really be a treasure?
But the little girl felt that it might not be true.
"Take me there quickly..." Little Su Bao shouted, then realized something was wrong and said to Qian Shi inside the house, "Mother, come out quickly!"
Qian was feeling guilty, and her heart skipped a beat when she heard the girl's words.
Should I explain this to my daughter later?
"Mother, come out quickly!" The little girl rushed to Qian's door and gently patted the door twice.
The main problem was that last time I used too much force and accidentally broke my second sister-in-law's door, which made her and my second brother-in-law so angry that they didn't speak to me for two days.
She rushed over to help because her nephew Sanbao said that his mother and father were fighting.
"Ahem, alright, I'm coming!" Madam Qian quickly composed herself, intending to explain that she hadn't been peeking on purpose.
Her main concern was that this might violate a taboo for the young girl and be bad for her health.
That's what she recently read in a storybook...
“It’s broken, but I didn’t see anything… It shouldn’t affect you, right?” Madam Qian asked Xiao Su Bao anxiously.
Little Su Bao was stunned, her big eyes blinking as she looked at Qian Shi, her face full of confusion.
Madam Qian paused, then coughed lightly and said, "Alright, tell me, what do you want with your mother?"
This time, Xiao Su Bao reacted. The little girl tugged at Qian Shi's hand and said, "Mom, Xiao Lingdang found something! Let's go see!"
Xiao Su Bao lowered her voice, which surprised Qian Shi.
However, Qian Shi could also see the strangeness about Xiao Lingdang; this guy didn't look like a rabbit at all.
Whose rabbit doesn't eat carrots and vegetables, but loves meat, and insists on eating meat from a castrated rabbit?
Speaking of this, the pork business in Qian's village is getting better and better, and many people buy meat from their village to take home.
The main reason is that the pork raised in their village is plump and strong, with thick fat, and tastes much better than ordinary pork.
"Okay, let's do it together!"
Qian immediately took the little girl's hand, glanced around warily to make sure no one was around, and then the two quietly moved to the side.
On the other side, Lan Chou suddenly felt inexplicably irritable.
Despite trying many methods, I still couldn't get into the Tang family.
Now, with Tang Bugui's men and the emperor and empress's men guarding the Tang family, even if he wanted to enter the Tang residence to investigate, he couldn't.
Thinking of this, his brows furrowed, and his face darkened.
"Have you been able to find out what's going on at the Tang residence?" Lan Chou asked, looking at the person who had entered.
The person who came didn't look too good.
"No, the Tang family is like an iron barrel; there's no way to get in!"
Lan Xin'er frowned; if she could, she really didn't want to see Xiao Su Bao.
Seeing Xiaosubao's life getting better and better reminded her of the time she was bullied.
"We didn't find anything, so what use is your face to us!"
Lan Chou looked at Lan Xin'er with disgust, a hint of murderous intent in his eyes.
Lan Xin'er was startled and quickly knelt down before Lan Chou.
"Your Majesty, spare my life! Although I didn't enter the Tang family's territory, I've learned that some of the people going to the spring hunt are from the Tang family!"
Lan Xin'er knelt on the ground, not daring to get up, and lay prostrate at Lan Chou's feet.
Lan Chou saw that Lan Xin'er's expression had recovered somewhat.
But then, as if remembering something, Lan Chou continued, "Why don't you take this opportunity to kill Xiao Su Bao and take her place... Can you really do that?"
Lan Xin'er's eyes lit up instantly, and her gaze towards Lan Chou was full of excitement.
"This servant will definitely succeed!" Lan Xin'er's voice had become seven or eight parts similar to Xiao Su Bao's.
If you're not familiar with them, you won't be able to tell the two apart.
Lan Chou glanced at Lan Xin'er, reached into his pocket, and took out a pill: "Eat it!"
Lan Xin'er stared at the pill for a moment, but almost instantly, she swallowed it.
This pill can make her aura very similar to Xiao Su Bao's, which is exactly what she needs.
However, the toxins in this pill are too concentrated!
Lan Xin'er couldn't care less about anything else. She didn't know when her fate had become like this, but now...
This is my only chance to change my destiny.
Watching Lan Xin'er swallow the pill, Lan Chou waved his hand, his eyes showing a hint of disdain.
Lan Xin'er left respectfully, but her eyes held a hint of determination.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Xiao Su Bao and Qian Shi were stunned by what they saw in front of them.
"These...these are all made of gold!" Madam Qian gripped Xiao Su Bao's hand tightly, her body trembling slightly.
She was at a loss for words!
Little Su Bao was also startled. She supported her swaying mother and stared inside with her eyes.
It turns out there was a rockery in the courtyard where they lived.
That's not the most important thing. The most important thing is that these artificial mountains are all made of gold.
The artificial mountain is made of gold, with stones of all sizes, all of them made of gold.
How could Qian and Xiao Su Bao not be surprised?
Qian looked around to make sure no one was nearby before letting out a slight sigh of relief.
"This matter must not be known to anyone else!"
Looking at her daughter, Madam Qian's feelings became complicated.
"Wait a moment, find a way to move all this gold to the princess's residence!" Madam Qian paused, then said seriously.
Little Su Bao turned her gaze away from the golden mountain and looked at Qian Shi with a face full of surprise.
Madam Qian reached out and patted the little girl's head, her dazed look turning into a firm resolve.
"Being suddenly rich might cause problems for your brother and sister-in-law. Take this gold; the family has enough silver now. If it's not enough, I'll ask you for more!"
Ms. Qian was worried that her son, daughter-in-law, and grandson would change drastically after suddenly becoming rich from a long period of poverty.
The Qian family had seen this kind of thing many times, which made them increasingly nervous.
"Moreover, keep it with you, and when your brother and nephew are really short of money, you can take it out to help them. This way, your relationship will also be better!"
Wealth is a powerful motivator, and the Qian family couldn't even imagine how much the gold mine here would amount to in terms of monetary value.
"Mother...I understand!" Little Su Bao held Qian Shi's hand and nodded, signifying that the store was closed.
There is a pavilion next to Jinshan.
Little Bell jumped down from their arms and ran towards the pavilion.
There was a table inside the pavilion, and Little Bell had run under the table and was scratching at an inconspicuous stone slab with its paws.
The little bell flipped the stone slab open, revealing that it was filled with gold nuggets.
That small piece of gold was what Little Bell got out of there.
Qian looked at the ground, then at Xiao Su Bao, her heart pounding.
Just how much gold is hidden here!
The Qian family was hesitant to contact them.
"How about... how about we stop looking for other things!" Madam Qian said, her lips trembling as she looked at Xiao Su Bao.
Little Su Bao paused, but her eyes shone brightly in the darkness.
She hasn't found what she's looking for yet!
"Mother, this isn't what I'm looking for!"
The little girl couldn't say what it was, but she felt it wasn't this!
Qian paused, her expression immediately turning serious.
"Find him, even if it means tearing down the whole yard."
The girl wasn't one to speak without reason; this must have made her sense something.
Qian's eyes instantly sharpened.
Her father once said when he was a bandit that the worst thing a person can do is be indecisive!
Once you've decided to do something, as long as you know there are no problems, you must act quickly, accurately, and decisively.
Little Su Bao blinked as she saw Qian Shi's gritted teeth.
Seeing the little girl's mischievous appearance, Qian pinched her cheek in annoyance!
"Alright, hurry up and pack, or you might not be able to wake up when you go to West Mountain tomorrow!"
Mrs. Qian muttered something, rolled up her sleeves, picked up Xiao Su Bao's hoe from the side, and started working!
Little Su Bao wasn't idle either; she grabbed the stone table with her little hands and moved it aside.
Just as she picked up the stone table, the pavilion moved, and then a mechanism appeared under the table!
Mrs. Qian pursed her lips...
The thing the little girl had been searching for for so long was right there in the gazebo where she sat every day...
Little Su Bao slowly placed the table aside.
Qian also came over and reached out to pull Xiao Su Bao along.
"Be careful! Stay close behind your mother!" Madam Qian instructed.
Little Su Bao nodded obediently; she sensed that the thing should be down there.
The little girl looked at the cave entrance and felt as if something was calling to her.
Qian walked ahead, pulling Xiao Su Bao along as they slowly descended.
Ms. Qian couldn't help but hold Xiao Su Bao's hand tightly, feeling a strange sense of nervousness in her heart.
The two went downstairs, and Xiao Su Bao took out her luminous pearl.
The light from the luminous pearl made the place seem less dark.
And further inside, there were even eternal lamps.
The interior is very spacious, and the tunnels are very well-developed, seemingly encompassing the entire Tang Mansion.
Mr. Qian was utterly shocked.
With such a well-connected area, she seriously suspected that the so-called ghost might be hiding down here!
Thinking about this, Ms. Qian felt a little regretful!
I should have let Xiao Su Bao stay up there, and I would have brought people down to take a look myself.
But now...
Madam Qian turned around and looked at Xiao Su Bao. The little girl smiled at Madam Qian and said, "Mother, it's alright!"
Little Su Bao really thought nothing was wrong, otherwise she wouldn't have acted that way.
Mrs. Qian sighed, but ultimately said nothing more.
Little Su Bao followed her instincts and walked in one direction.
The mother and daughter walked for about fifteen minutes when their surroundings suddenly changed.
A faint light was emanating from ahead.
It's astonishing to look at.
Qian instinctively pulled Xiao Su Bao tighter, shielding her behind her.
The little girl is now grown up and can't carry herself very well, otherwise Ms. Qian would probably have just picked her up and run back.
"Mother, it's alright!" Little Su Bao whispered to Madam Qian.
Qian felt a chill run down his spine; anyone who saw that bright light would feel something was wrong!
Looking at the girl's determined eyes, Qian sighed, but still followed her forward.
The light grew brighter and brighter, and Qian Shi became increasingly nervous, gripping Xiao Su Bao's hand tightly.
The next moment, Qian's eyes widened.
this……
What the two saw was a transparent coffin.
Inside the coffin lay a person, and Qian felt a chill run down her spine the moment she saw that person.
Isn't that Xiao Su Bao all grown up?
Ms. Qian was completely distraught. She turned around, picked up Xiao Su Bao, and started to walk out.
Little Su Bao was stunned. She stared at the corpse, her eyes becoming confused.
"Mother, I want to go and take a look!" Xiao Su Bao's voice was a little unsteady, which made Qian Shi even more uneasy.
Qian's heart skipped a beat; she was extremely nervous!
"Sweetie, let's stop watching, let's..."
Qian wanted to speak, but the little girl in her arms struggled and fell to the ground.
Little Su Bao seemed to be bewitched as she headed towards the ice coffin.
Qian's face was extremely ugly. She gritted her teeth and could only follow closely behind.
She couldn't let her daughter be in danger alone.
Ms. Qian was extremely nervous, and her eyes were filled with deep worry.
Little Su Bao walked straight toward the transparent coffin.
Her little hand slowly touched the coffin.
The next instant, a dark shadow rushed towards Xiao Su Bao.
The little girl opened her eyes, her gaze icy cold.
"Die!" the dark figure roared as it charged toward the little girl.
However, Xiao Su Bao simply raised her right index finger slowly and murmured, "Freeze!"
The dark figure seemed to sense some danger, and its body trembled violently.
Then it just stood there quietly in mid-air.
Almost simultaneously, everything around them froze instantly.
Qian Shi, with a furrowed brow, was walking forward. The shadows, the surrounding air, and the dust in the air.
At this moment, heaven and earth seemed to have settled down.
Wang Mingtian and the nameless old Taoist had arrived in the garden at some point.
The two were also pinned to the spot. Wang Mingtian's eyes flickered slightly. He could move his body, but only his eyeballs were moving.
The nameless old Taoist was thinking rapidly, but his body remained motionless in place.
This feeling is truly terrifying.
Little Su Bao was unaware of what was happening outside; she slowly lifted her foot.
At this moment, golden lotus flowers bloomed beneath her feet, and with each step she took, ripples spread out.
Little Su Bao slowly walked to the front of the ice coffin and placed her hand on it.
A flash of light appeared on the ice coffin, as if something was about to emerge.
Xiao Su Bao suddenly started muttering to herself, her eyes were not lively, and even a little rigid.
The flickering light instantly fell silent.
Then the coffin slowly contracted, gradually becoming smaller and smaller.
The ice coffin turned into a ring, which Xiao Su Bao wore on her little finger.
At this moment, the golden light in the little girl's eyes grew stronger and stronger.
Unlike the previous times, this time, Xiao Su Bao's expression was very serious, with a faint but inexplicable sense of pressure.
This kind of pressure only makes people feel fear.
Little Su Bao finally focused her gaze on the black mist. The little girl frowned slightly, then gently touched the black mist with her hand.
The black mist bared its fangs and claws, trying to rush towards Xiao Su Bao, but just as it got close, Xiao Su Bao gently tapped it.
The black mist trembled, and half of it dissipated. But soon, the black mist slowly changed color, transforming into a bewildered little baby.
Little Su Bao reached out and pulled the little thing over, stuffing it into her ring.
Seemingly remembering something, Xiao Su Bao turned to look at Qian Shi.
"A life of toil, destined to die young... So be it, with a kind heart, defy fate and change your destiny. I will grant you blessings of longevity, health, and many descendants... and, of course, all things as you wish!"
Xiao Su Bao's voice seemed somewhat unreal, and her face paled a few degrees after she finished speaking.
But the world seemed to tremble slightly for a moment at that instant.
Xiao Su Bao smiled and reached out to take Qian Shi's hand.
Almost at the same instant, everything around returned to normal.
Qian continued walking forward, but found nothing unusual.
"Huh, where's the coffin here?" Madam Qian asked instinctively, startled.
Xiao Su Bao's eyes regained their previous clarity, and she even seemed extremely puzzled.
"Phew, whatever, I must have been too nervous and misread it. It's better that it's gone. If it were here... it would be really scary!"
Mrs. Qian patted her chest and hurriedly said.
"There's nothing here, let's go..." Before Qian could finish her last sentence, they spotted a box in the corner by the light of the ever-burning lamp.
In such a large place, there was only that one box, which looked rather lonely.
Madam Qian was truly frightened by the previous ice coffin and didn't want Xiao Su Bao to go over there.
"Mom, you wait here, I'll go take a look myself!" Little Su Bao felt that what she was looking for should be here!
