The two felt that it was going to be bad, and asked quickly: "Then who else knows about this?"

Bai Erlang said: "Everyone knows."

Bai Shan and Man Bao looked at each other, silently weeping in their hearts to County Magistrate Tang, and said without hesitation: "Magistrate Tang must be doing something to keep a secret."

Bai Erlang became excited, "You think so too, don't you?"

He said: "That's what I thought, that's why I waited in the temple all the time, but unfortunately he didn't come back when it was almost dark, and Dao Xu was so ruthless and sent us down."

Man Bao said solemnly: "You don't even know what Tang County Magistrate is doing, it's not a secret."

"That doesn't count?" Bai Erlang became anxious, and shouted: "This is at least half a secret, and you have to tell me half of it."

Bai Shan: "Ask your father."

"I didn't tell my father the secret. Why should I ask him? You can't keep your word, or I won't play with you next time."

Bai Shan and Man Bao looked at each other, and the two exchanged glances, Bai Shan said: "Okay, let me tell you a half secret, we are looking for a big treasure recently."

"What big baby?"

"The treasure left by brother Zhou's uncle fell into the woods, but he didn't know where it was, so you have to look for it slowly. You are not allowed to tell others about this. Now the adults of our three families know, and only The adults of the three families are looking for them."

Bai Erlang glanced suspiciously at the crowd, "Then why didn't my family send anyone here?"

"Aren't they Liu Gui?" Bai Shan said, "My family is no different from yours, they are the same. If you don't believe it, you can go back and ask your cousin."

Bai Erlang looked at him for a while, then at Daji again, and decided not to look for his father, because he always felt that this was a trap.

After exchanging a half-secret, Bai Erlang reconciled with them, complaining non-stop along the way, "You still lied to me that you were looking for Ganoderma lucidum, but my husband said so, gentlemen are magnanimous, how can you lie?"

Man Bao said: "I'm trying my best to be a gentleman, but I haven't achieved it yet. I will work harder in the future."

Bai Erlang: "Liar!"

Bai Shan on the side nodded quietly.

Man Bao seemed to have noticed it, and turned his head to stare at his head.

Bai Shan continued to move forward without looking sideways.

They walked too deep and came out too late, and it was dark after only half a day of walking. Zhou Hu had expected it, and he took Zhou Zhoulang and Zhou Zhoulang and began to pull hay along the road to make torches.

He pressed the torch tightly, and each of the three made two. Liu Gui and the others obviously often went to the woods to find things under slander, so they touched it separately.

After finishing the torches, Zhou Hu dipped some lamp oil that he brought with him on the firm torches, and lit three torches as soon as it got dark. Everyone took one at the front, middle and back, and went out one by one. Walk.

It was already very late when they got out of the mountain. Both the Bai family and the Zhou family sent people to wait outside. As soon as Zhou Zhou Lang saw them, he immediately went up to meet them and asked, "Why is it so late, my parents are very worried."

Tuesday Lang said: "It's too deep."

Zhou Zhoulang lowered his voice and asked, "Did you find it?"

Tuesday Lang shook his head slightly.

Zhou Lang was slightly disappointed.

The servants of the Bai family who came also picked up their young masters and escorted them back home.

Tuesday Lang took Zhou Hu home to be a guest, Man Bao thought about it, and asked Bai Shan to give Liu Gui to them, "We are going back to Yizhou City tomorrow, why don't we let Brother Liu Gui and Brother Zhou Hu get to know each other, and Zhou Hu will get to know each other later. Brother Hu can let him take Brother Liu Gui up the mountain for a stroll when he is free."

Bai Shan asked her, "Do you want to tell Brother Zhou Hu?"

"You don't need to say everything, so as not to drag him into it, just talk about looking for something my father left behind," Man Bao said, "It's the same as dialogue two."

Bai Shan nodded, then went to Liu Gui and said, "Send Miss Man back."

Liu Gui was stunned for a moment, then looked at Man Bao, the three brothers from the old Zhou family are all here, and there is also Zhou Hu, can he give it to him?

Bai Shan coughed lightly, and Liu Gui quickly walked towards Man Bao.

Man Bao smiled and said, "Brother Liu Gui, please stay and have a meal together tonight."

Only then did Liu Gui react belatedly, and hastily complied.

Back at Zhou's house, Mrs. Qian personally cooked a meal for them. The others had already eaten and knew that they had something to say, so Mrs. Qian waved her hand, Mrs. Feng and the others took their children and went back to their respective rooms , only the Zhou brothers, Man Bao, Zhou Hu and Liu Gui were left in the main room.

Qian didn't want Man Bao to come forward for this kind of thing, so he called her out and asked Zhou Zhou Lang to talk to Zhou Hu.

She stuffed Man Bao into the kitchen and said, "I'm going to school tomorrow, sleep well tonight, and put away my things again. Your brothers will have to worry about these things at home."

He said again: "You little girl can't eat well sitting there, I asked your sister-in-law to save food for you, so you can eat in the kitchen."

Man Bao took a bowl and sat in the kitchen to eat, looking at her mother while eating, "Mother, don't you like me investigating this matter?"

Qian Shi sighed and said, "I know that no child would like their parents to die in such an unexplained manner, but Mother is very afraid that something will happen to you."

She glanced out and said in a low voice: "Then what kind of king of Yizhou, just listening to it is scary."

"Mom, I've seen him before, and he's not as powerful as we thought." Wasn't he embarrassingly killed by an assassin?

Speaking of assassins, Man Bao's heart moved. Legend has it that the assassins who assassinated the king of Yizhou were refugees from the old years. After all, the accident of Bai Shan's father was related to Jianweiyan. I don't know if those people have anything in their hands.

Mrs. Qian sighed and said, "You don't think he is very powerful, but Mother thinks he is bigger than the sky. You see, the Bai family has countless servants and has raised such a powerful person as Daji. Mrs. Liu has kept this secret for many years. They even dared to catch the spies who came to investigate the case, isn’t their family powerful? But they still have to worry about facing the king of Yizhou, and they dare not take one more step.”

"Compared to the Bai family, our family is an ant, and compared to the king of Yizhou, our family is not even an ant."

Man Bao pursed his lips, "Mother, I think what you said is right, but it's not right."

Qian asked, "What's wrong?"

Man Bao thought about it carefully, and said: "I am a human being, and I also want to be a human being, not an ant."

Qian Shi was startled and was speechless for a while.

After a long time, she stretched out her hand to touch her face and sighed: "You are a good boy, a very smart boy. In the future, you may really be able to be a person, and you can lead our whole family to be a person."

"Then you have to remember, you have to live, because only a living person is a human being," Qian said, "Otherwise, if you die, what you are and what you are not is completely up to you."

Man Bao nodded fiercely, met her mother's eyes, and said seriously: "Mother, I remember, I will always live well."
