One day, a wounded young man fled to their house, dying.
A Xiu's father found him and together with Lao Wu carried the man back into the house.
"Don't carry me in...it will get you into trouble." The man used his last bit of strength to persuade the two.
But A Xiu's father still took the initiative and carried her in.
Not long after they were carried in, several ferocious-looking officers came over and asked the two if they had seen an injured person.
"..." When Old Wu was hesitating whether to tell the truth, Ah Xiu's father Ah Xin lied directly: "I didn't see it."
After the officers left, Old Wu pulled Ah Xin aside and expressed his disapproval of his behavior: "Ah Xin, why didn't you listen to your parents? He might be a bad guy!"
Ashin shook his head and said that he had the emblem of the National Protection Association on him and he couldn't be a bad person.
"You, you, that's all nonsense from the village scholar. There is no such thing as a National Protection Association." Old Wu tapped his head with his finger.
"It's true. If you don't believe me, go in and see!" Ashin took Lao Wu's hand and pointed to his chest. There was indeed a mark on it.
The logo looked like the Chinese character "盛", and the upper right part looked like a flying bird, which was exactly the same as what the scholar in the village said.
"Besides, if he was a bad guy, he wouldn't have said that he would implicate us." Ashin continued to defend him.
Old Wu nodded, but he remained alert in his heart.
Although I have a square face, my parents have always told me not to judge a book by its cover.
As the saying goes, people’s hearts are hidden, and they may harm you in the next second.
Fortunately, the man did not hurt them. He left while they were asleep and left a package.
The two opened the package and found a letter and a box inside.
The letter said that the box was very important and hoped that they would keep it well, and he would come back to get it later.
The letter also mentioned that if he died, the box would belong to the two of them.
After waking up, the two discussed how to deal with the treasure.
Just then, someone came over. The two noticed the noise and quickly hid their things under the bed.
"Hey, kid, the injured person is carrying a yellow package. If you see it, tell us!" the officer reminded again.
After the official left, the two opened the letter again and found out that the treasure box contained a dagger and some silver.
This dagger is a treasure of the National Protection Association. It was made by a famous craftsman and is considered the best dagger in the world.
As for the silver, it was a thank-you gift to the two of them.
"What should we do? Should we throw it away? We'll be in trouble if the police find out." Old Wu suggested throwing it away.
Ah Xin shook his head, objecting to Old Wu's suggestion: "Brother, if we throw it away, it will be easier for them to find it, and then they might even bring trouble to the village!"
"If you ask me, we should just hide it and wait until that big brother comes to find us!" After Ashin said this, he and Lao Wu started to hide and hid the real key and box.
After Old Wu finished speaking, he took a few sips of water and talked about the ending of the box: "In the end, the man never came there, and the box just stayed there."
"So there's such a story between my second uncle and my father..." Ah Xiu listened carefully and nodded.
"It's been so long, that person should be dead and won't come back to get it." Old Wu sighed, then suggested that Ah Xiu take it away: "Ah Xiu, this box is yours now."
"Your father died and left you nothing. This is for you to remember."
"If you come across the National Protection Association, you can return it to them on your father's behalf, or you can just stay here."
"I'm not young anymore. I might die someday, so I won't get involved anymore."
Hearing Second Uncle say this, Ah Xiu quickly stopped him: "Pooh, pooh, pooh, Second Uncle, live a hundred years!"
"Since Second Uncle means so well, I'll accept this box."
Old Wu nodded, and then asked A Xiu to prepare to return to Guangyang County.
Ah Xiu got on the carriage, still looking at the direction of the tombstone with reluctance.
Lin Tongxi and Chen Yunxuan, whom I followed, were about to go far away. After this separation, I didn’t know when I could return to my hometown again.
She held the treasure box in the package tightly, unwilling to let go. This was the only memory her father left her.
The carriage gradually went away, and Pushou Village finally turned into a small dot and completely disappeared from A Xiu's sight.
“…” Ah Xiu pulled back and didn’t look back.
She patted her cheeks, reminding herself to quickly get out of her sadness.
The new life continues, and she has a new mission, which is to do her part well and help Lin Tongxi and Chen Yunxuan end the cannibalistic chaos!
