"Chase!"
I don't know who said it, and everyone outside chased him out, and the person who started it was Mr. Snake. The little green snake in his sleeve had already jumped in early. He entered the forest and followed Hou Yong's departure trail. " Why don't you go and take a look, that's a treasure map!"
"Even if the treasure map is real, it can't be compared to you. Besides, we have signed a contract, and your safety is the first priority! Yes, what if I leave and you are attacked?
What do you mean, do you want me to chase you out?"
Lianyi asked.
"Of course not, I just asked casually out of curiosity. "
Wang Yaozu said immediately. His shoulder injured by the arrow has not healed yet. He can only feel safe if he stays by Ripple's side.
Ripple had enough of the excitement, so he turned back to Po Inside the temple.
"Go and pull out the potatoes and sweet potatoes. They should be ripe. Let's have a midnight snack."
Lianyi ordered directly.
Wang Yaozu immediately took two branches, dug out the extinguished fire, dug out the four black lumps that had turned into black charcoal, then relit the fire, and with the light of the fire, put the potatoes and Break open the sweet potatoes.
The ripe potatoes and sweet potatoes were steaming, accompanied by a sweet aroma, which made Wang Yaozu's stomach growl.
Lianyi didn't like sweets, so she picked potatoes and handed the sweet potatoes to Wang Zhenzhen. Wang Yaozu chose the sweet potatoes himself and started to eat them.
"I wonder if these people have caught up?"
Wang Yaozu ate a whole roasted sweet potato and filled his stomach before he started to ask questions.
"As long as the snake is here, it should be no problem."
Ripple added two pieces of firewood to the fire. The night in the forest was still a bit damp and cold.
Suddenly a bright light flashed in the sky above their heads, and then the sound of "rumbling" thunder reached the ears of the three of them.
Wang Yaozu stood up directly, without leaving the temple gate, and looked up directly at the night sky. At this time, another lightning appeared in the night sky. He immediately said to Ripples:
"Woman, it's going to rain. ! ”
Less than half the incense stick after the lightning and thunder, the raindrops began to fall.
Wang Yaozu and Lianyi had moved the fire and carriage to the other side with a roof, and then moved several other fires to their locations.
“The rain is really unlucky. It seems that they may return in vain tonight.”
Wang Zhenzhen looked at the rain falling more and more outside the ruined temple and said to Ripple.
“It has nothing to do with us anyway.”
Lianyi said nonchalantly.
“Actually, I would like to see the treasure map.”
Wang Zhenzhen said thoughtfully.
Lianyi didn't expect that Aunt Zhen would actually want to see the treasure map, so she directly sent a message into the secret and asked:
"Aunt Zhen, the wealth belonging to you and your mother, is it true that there is a treasure map?"< br>
“Your grandmother has always kept the wealth that belongs to me for me. As for your mother’s, because she is married, everything has been handed over to her. As for how she uses it, your grandmother has never interfered. .
I arrived a step too late, and only found you who had broken my heart, and nothing else. The entire Yingze Villa was burned down, and the only one who passed me by was Princess Xiangyi. Centaur.
I suspect that they may have known about the wealth your mother left behind, but there must be some reason why they couldn't obtain it, so they delayed it for so long.
As we left the Sunu Palace, what we saw and heard along the way indicated that there would be a war soon. The wealth your mother left behind would naturally make some people tempted.
Only those who are thoughtful will leak out the so-called treasure map. After all, if there is a map but no token, or if there is a token but no map, you will not be able to successfully obtain the wealth.
What they do is to force two things to appear, so that they can achieve their ultimate goal. "Wang Zhenzhen knows more after all, so she thinks more.
"Aunt Zhen, now the royal family, the Jianghu, the Wang family, and those who regard the Wang family as an imperial businessman as a thorn in their side, I'm afraid they are all involved in this matter, and they must be secretly adding fuel to the flames. It may not be that simple to resolve these issues smoothly. ”
The ripples also transmitted sound into the secret passage.
"Yes! I decided to go down the mountain for your grandmother. In addition, you have grown up and you have to recognize your ancestors and return to the clan. The Xu family is gone, but you are still the granddaughter of the Wang family. I’m going back, I just want you to be mentally prepared.”
“Don’t worry, Aunt Zhen, I know what’s going on.”
Lianyi nodded quickly.
Half an hour later, the rain gradually weakened, and the group of people who chased out were all soaked in water and returned to the ruined temple one after another.
"Damn it, it rained at the wrong time. It actually allowed those three people to escape under our noses!"
Xiong Zigeng complained loudly.
Snake Lao followed closely behind, his expression not very good, because the rain had washed away the smell, and his little green snake could no longer follow it.
Xiao Shu protected Wang Meimei into the ruined temple and asked her to quickly change her clothes. He himself found a fire to sit down and began to bake his clothes.
Because of Lianyi's foresight, this group of soup chickens finally had a place to warm themselves by the fire. Everyone thanked Lianyi and the three of them.
"You're welcome! I have to protect my wife, so it's not convenient for me to chase her out. I wonder if those three people left any clues?"
"Nothing was left behind. Because the snake was always there, it was still possible. After finding the trace, we fell behind the three of them. Later, when it rained, their footprints were washed away, making it more difficult to follow. Moreover, the rain was too heavy, so we were afraid of being scattered, so we had to come back first. "
This time it was Xiao Shu who answered.
"That's a pity, these three people are so cunning."
Lianyi sighed with emotion.
"They are indeed cunning. They prepared to escape tracking here, and actually prepared horses in the mountains and forests. Only then did we lose them completely."
Zhang Nian also agreed.
“It seems that they had expected to confront the people from Broken Sword Mountain, so they had a back-up here. No wonder they would run towards us, but they didn’t expect to encounter us.”< br>
Lianyi immediately agreed.
Others were also warming themselves by the fire and complaining. They actually missed the treasure map, and they were really heart-wrenching and uncomfortable.
"Hmph, even if they run away, they won't survive tonight."
Old Snake said coldly.
"Old Snake, did you have a backup plan?"
"When the three of them appeared, they were bitten by my Xiaoqing. If they don't want to die, they will come back tomorrow. "
Snake Lao said slightly proudly.
"Otherwise, we have to ask Old Snake to take action. The seniors in Jianghu are seniors. Xiong has learned the lesson."
When Xiong Zigeng heard that there was hope that the treasure map could be recovered, his eyes immediately lit up. Complimented Mr. Snake.
After everyone heard this, their faces improved a lot.
Wang Meimei had borrowed Ripple's carriage and changed her clothes. When she came out and sat by the fire, Ripple stuffed her with a roasted potato.
“Thank you Ripple! I’m really hungry!”
Wang Meimei immediately broke open the potatoes, gave half to his brother Xiao, and ate the other half herself. (End of this chapter)
