Siheyuan: I am the Smart Pillar

The middle-aged man seemed very angry, and gnashed his teeth as he said, "That treasure map almost cost me my life. You must return the treasure map to me, or I will reveal your identity. Do you still want to spend your old age in this courtyard? Don't daydream."

The middle-aged man looked at Old Lady Long and said with a smile, "Long Qiuju, we can have a good discussion. You are probably about 70 years old now. To put it bluntly, how long can you live? Why don't you give us that half of the treasure map, and we will get the treasure out for him. Then we will definitely be able to give you some, after all, you have also contributed."

Old Lady Long smiled coldly, showing no fear of the middle-aged man's threat. She pursed her lips and said, "Don't play tricks on me. I'm afraid that if I hand over that half of the treasure map to you, my life will come to an end. I know all about your methods."

The middle-aged man was stunned and said, "What do you want to do? As for that piece of treasure map, I and the brothers behind me will definitely snatch it away. If you don't give it to me, don't blame me for being rude."

He stabbed the old lady Long in the neck with a knife, and she was so scared that she peed herself. She said quickly, "The map is not here. Even if you kill me today, you still can't get the map. How about waiting a few days, you pay 200 yuan and I will give you the map."

The middle-aged man was a little hesitant at first. He was really afraid that this famous Rouge Tiger would take his life in the end. But when he heard that Old Lady Long asked him for two hundred yuan, he became even happier. She was just a greedy old woman. It seemed that he had not been out in the underworld for these years, so he was a little timid.

The middle-aged man put away the dagger with a smile, and said to Mrs. Long, "As long as you can hand over the map to us, what does two hundred yuan mean? It's just a drop in the bucket. And we will be very grateful to you and will never come to you again."

Mrs. Long was stunned for a moment, then she forced a smile and said, "Oh, really? Thank you so much." But there was a hint of anger in her eyes. She had to think of a way to get rid of the man in front of her. If her identity was exposed, she would be finished.

Old lady Long nodded with a smile and said to the middle-aged man, "Xu Erhei, there is no grudge between us in the past or in the present. You just want money, and I just want to spend the rest of my life in peace. There is no need to show off like this, don't you think?"

Xu Erhei nodded with a smile, and then he slowly let down his guard. Old Lady Long coughed, and when Xu Erhei was not prepared, she pressed on the table beside her. An arrow flew out from the table, and Xu Erhei was caught off guard and was shot at once.

The hidden arrow was poisoned and pierced into Xu Erhei's skin. Xu Erhei fell to the ground and foamed at the mouth. His eyes widened as he pointed at Old Lady Long and said word by word, "You, you are so cruel. I actually fell for your trick. I regret it so much. I really regret it so much."

Old Lady Long looked at Xu Erhei, whose life was gradually fading away, and a smile appeared on her lips. She said nonchalantly, "You are so crazy, and you want to kill me. Then I will take your life first. Go with peace of mind. I will definitely not let you have an easy time after your death."

Xu Erhei spat out a few mouthfuls of blood and suddenly became weak. Old Lady Long wiped her hands with a handkerchief and said to herself, "No one can take away my things. This is what I left for my son, and you can't take it away. The remaining four treasure maps should also belong to me."

Old Lady Long walked into the side room and pressed a protruding stone in the corner. Suddenly, a secret passage appeared next to her. Old Lady Long pulled Xu Erhei's body and slowly walked down to the basement. After much effort, she finally pulled Xu Erhei's body down.

Old lady Long was already very old and felt a little tired. Looking at Xu Erhei on the ground, she panted and cursed, "Hey, you little dog, I didn't expect you to be so heavy. You really exhausted an old lady like me." The basement below also took up a lot of space, and it was obvious that it had been renovated by someone.

Old lady Long started digging with a shovel beside her. As she dug, she said to a small mound nearby, "You little bastards, I've found a new neighbor for you. You two can keep each other company and talk down there. Don't hate me, Old Lady Long. If you want to hate someone, hate you guys for being greedy."

Although Old Lady Long was very old, she could dig a pit in a very short time. She put Xu Erhei in the pit, covered him with a thin layer of soil, and built a grave with a shovel, and laughed. Looking at the graves in the basement, Old Lady Long showed a cruel smile and said, "You little bastards dare to touch my things. You really don't know how to live or die."

After spitting on the ground, Old Lady Long left the basement. She staggered to the ground and felt some blood on her clothes, so she took them off and put on new clothes. She threw the old clothes into the stove, and suddenly billowing black smoke burned from the old lady's house and was discharged from the chimney to the outside.

Jia Dongxu said to his mother with a flattering face, "Mom, I want to give Erni an unforgettable wedding, let's set up a few tables." Jia Zhang's eyes widened, pointed at her ears and said, "Jia Dongxu, what did you say? Say it again, what do you want? You want to set up a table in the courtyard, but our family doesn't have the conditions for that. Do you know how much money our family has spent to marry such a jinx?"
