Chapter 121 Treasure Hunt
The little white tiger held its head high and walked out with graceful steps. When it passed by two secret guards, it rolled its eyes at the two little Karamis.
[I heard that human flesh is the worst to eat. It's sour, dry, and has no nutritional value. Who would eat human flesh if they weren't starving?... Besides, it has promised its master that it will never hurt anyone without the master's order!]
[Tiger Tiger...Mimi is a man of his words! ]
The little white tiger was afraid that the two skinny and dark breeders would be scared to death, so he walked out of the shed slowly.
Once it got into the yard, it became restless.
It sniffed the air hard, determined the location of its owner, dug its claws into the ground twice, started running madly, and jumped out of the courtyard wall with a sudden leap.
The broken chain swept across the wall, immediately creating a gap in the wall.
The two secret guards looked at each other, thinking that the young princess had not lied to them. It was not that the white tiger could not hurt them, but that it had never intended to hurt them!
"Amitabha... That iron chain is just a decoration. Let the little princess replace it with a hemp rope later!"
"I agree! Otherwise, repairing the wall is a hassle and will only delay things for a short time!"
The little white tiger landed in the alley, and when he didn't see his little master, he began to get secretly anxious.
Afraid of being caught by some bad guy and taken to some zoo, it didn't dare to scream loudly anymore.
Just when I was feeling worried, I saw a pink and tender little kid leaning against the wall at the entrance of the alley, looking around...
It’s the master! It’s Mimi, the kind and cute little master!
The little white tiger was immediately delighted and pounced towards Tang Bao. When he was about to reach the destination, he suddenly braked.
Just when its head hit the little master, before it could rub against the little master, the little master fell on his butt.
[Oh no… I forgot that the little master is just a child with great strength…]
Little Tangbao sat on the ground, his big eyes filled with confusion:? ?
What just happened?
She saw Mimi and tried to catch it but was knocked away? ?
The little girl was a little confused. Could it be that as her golden light of merit decreased, her strength would also decrease?
The little white tiger whimpered softly, its eyes wet as it looked at its little master aggrievedly.
"Master, why did you come to see Mimi just now? Mimi misses you! Mimi is very obedient. When she's full, she's quiet. Mimi doesn't scare people!"
Seeing Mimi's pitiful look, Xiao Tangbao stood up, hugged its neck and rubbed its face.
"Mimi, good girl. Tangbao misses you too. Tangbao always remembers you!"
"Don't worry, Mimi. I'll think of a way to bring you to my side as soon as possible!"
Little White Tiger: (=｀ω′=)彡☆
“Ah~”
“Ouch~”
The master said he missed Mimi!
The owner also said that he would keep Mimi by his side in the future!
Although the little white tiger whimpered softly, he did not feel aggrieved at all. It was all because of the kindness of his little master!
It's very expensive to raise a tiger, and the little master never lets Mimi go hungry!
Zhilan and Zhimei, who were standing by, were so scared that their palms were sweating.
Seeing that the tiger in front of them had no intention of attacking the little princess and instead looked particularly docile, the two gradually recovered from their shock and their heartbeats stopped.
The two little girls looked at each other, rubbed their hands on their skirts, wiped the sweat from their palms, and tentatively placed them on the white tiger's head.
Touch...just touch...for a moment?
The little white tiger smelled the scent of its master on them and only made a low "woooo" sound from its throat. It rolled its eyes at them but didn't get angry.
Zhilan and Zhimei clenched their fists and jumped for joy.
Oh my… I touched it! I really touched it!
So slippery, so smooth and so nice to touch!
From then on, they were also slaves who had touched the tiger!
…
Tang Bao gave Zhilan and Zhimei a few simple instructions and ordered them to go to the house where Baihu was temporarily staying and wait for her.
The two little girls walked forward with great concern, and they were not happy when they saw the familiar secret guard uncle standing at the door.
The two of them kept looking back as they walked, and finally stepped into the gate and looked back at the little princess.
Tang Bao smiled and waved at them, then climbed onto Mimi's back and directed Mimi to go to the Third Prince's Mansion.
Baihu ran very fast all the way, with cold wind whistling in his ears. Tangbao lay on Mimi and looked back.
The woman on the roadside suddenly opened her mouth wide, staring at her and Baihu in amazement. The pumpkin seeds in her hand fell to the ground, and then she ran away.
More and more people screamed and joined the running crowd, and the streets soon became empty.
Little Tangbao rode the white tiger smoothly all the way and didn't even damage the tables and chairs at the roadside stalls.
The man and the tiger soon arrived at the Third Prince's Mansion. The little white tiger, carrying Tang Bao on its back, jumped up the tree a few times, then leaped into the yard of the Third Prince's Mansion.
The guards rushed over and saw that the person coming was Princess Zhaoning, and Princess Zhaoning was riding a white tiger...
Suddenly, he thought of the little princess's feat of taming the tiger in the zoo that day. Although he was afraid, he did not hide or rush forward immediately.
"Grandpa Butler, please find a hoe for Tang Bao. Tang Bao needs to hoe the ground!"
"..." The butler chuckled and thought that the little princess was quite polite. Not only did she say "please", she also called him grandpa.
As soon as he relaxed, his legs stopped shaking and he said with a smile, "Okay! I'll send someone to find them right away!"
Soon, a group of guards, under the command of Xiao Tangbao, picked up their hoes and started "digging for treasure".
The housekeeper and several stewards looked at Xiao Tangbao from a distance, with smiles in their eyes.
"The little princess is truly a lucky star. As soon as she appeared, she drove away those with ulterior motives, and our master's madness has also been cured!"
"Who says it isn't true? Even though the master is out all day and night, and no one knows what he's busy with...but our master is so energetic now, he looks like a living person!"
"yes……"
"The little princess is so adorable! Let her dig as she pleases. Even if she burns our Third Prince's mansion to the ground, I'm sure the master won't be angry!"
A quarter of an hour later, the guards and servants who had only wanted to comfort the child were all dumbfounded. There really was a little treasure buried underground!?
If this bundle of gold, silver and jewelry were sold, it would be worth at least several thousand taels of silver!
Tang Bao looked at the bundle in his hand, then at the maid Gui Xiaying beside him, smiling so much that his eyebrows were not visible.
She put the bundle on the ground, took out her gold leaves, and distributed them to everyone present one by one.
"The burden is that Wei's secret was discovered, and she paid a maid to keep it quiet."
"Later, the maid was killed by Wei, and the hush money she gave was never found."
"Ill-gotten gains should not be kept, and retribution cannot be avoided when it comes... Thank you for helping Tang Bao with his work today. Please tell Uncle San that Tang Bao has taken the bag. Tang Bao will come to visit him another day."
Xiao Tangbao gave away a circle of gold leaves, but no one accepted them.
What a joke! If they were not afraid to feed the child anything casually, they would all want to take the little princess out shopping... How could they ask for money from the child's pocket?
When everyone was about to leave the yard, they couldn't help but stretch their heads to take another look at the bundle.
Oh……
The annual expenses for an ordinary family of five are only a few dozen taels of silver. How dare that maid ask for so much money?
You deserve to die!
…
After leaving the Third Prince's Mansion, Xiao Tangbao looked at the sky and then at his pitifully few merit points.
Turning around, I met the maid ghost's pleading eyes (﹏)`
"Your Highness, there's still an hour until noon. The Junior Academy provides lunch, and school doesn't end until the hour of Yin... Could you please just resolve this matter for me, Your Highness?"
"My home is in the city, very close. My ancestral tomb is also on the hill outside the city, not far away."
"My family is in dire straits. Without this money, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to get through the winter... Your Highness, I beg you to repay me for your kindness. In my next life, I'm willing to work like a slave to repay your kindness!"
Tang Bao pursed his lips and looked up at the sky again. It was indeed still several hours before school was over...
It’s just a matter of running some errands and reciting a mantra for rebirth. In that case, let’s go to the maid ghost’s home, fulfill her wish, and send her on her way as soon as possible!
Xiao Tangbao put the bag of gold and silver jewelry into the Qiankun bag, and rode away on the white tiger.
─=≡Σ(((つ)つ
The little girl had no idea that because the white tiger ran so fast, she disappeared, and those who were secretly following her were unable to catch up for a while, and now everyone was looking for her frantically.
The maid ghost was originally lying quietly on Xiao Tangbao's shoulder. The closer she got to home, the more restless she became.
"When I was seven, my parents sold me to a human trafficker. They cried bitterly and kept blaming themselves for being incompetent. They had to sell their children so that my brother and I could have enough to eat."
"But later, when I was being picked up like merchandise on the street, I saw my parents personally sending my brother, who was dressed in fine clothes, to a private school... Oh, it turns out that my parents didn't sell my brother, it turned out that only I was sold."
"During those years when I was repeatedly sold by human traffickers, I was nearly sold to a brothel. It was Madam Wei who took pity on me and bought me. Since then, I have been able to live a stable life."
"My parents got the news from somewhere and found out that I had entered the residence of a high-ranking official. They did everything they could to find me. They knelt outside the door for several days and begged me to see them."
"I hate them, but I also envy the other maids and servants. They have people visiting them during festivals and holidays, and they miss them... So, I forgave them, and even found it more difficult to let go of that belated family affection." The maid ghost sighed.
She was Wei's maidservant who came with her as a dowry. Even if she didn't cover up for her master's affair, she could pretend to be completely unaware of it.
But she was ungrateful and used this to threaten Wei.
Do you regret it? Yes!
Her parents always said that they didn't have enough money to help her brother get married, so she started to think of blackmailing Wei.
She planned for her family and lost her life, but after her death her parents refused to collect her body.
Helpless, Wei had to order people to throw her body into the charity cemetery.
It took four full days for her to rot and stink before they came!
It was because they finally came and placed her body that she decided to give half of the hidden money to her parents.
Just think of it as she has fulfilled her filial piety and ended this evil relationship. She doesn't want to have anything to do with them in the next life.
When Xiao Tangbao heard her say that her parents sold her not because they had no food to eat, but so that her brother could go to school, she wanted to turn back.
Her parents clearly don't love her, but love her younger brother. Since this ghost knows everything, why would he still love someone who doesn't love him?
Fool.
The maid kept nagging, talking about a lot of old things here and there. Little Tangbao was so angry that she rolled her eyes and didn't bother to listen.
Finally, the man, the tiger and the ghost finally arrived near the maid ghost's house.
It’s just that this house… looks really good. The gate and the walls look more imposing than those of the surrounding neighbors. Doesn’t it look like the house is dying of poverty?
