Byron's Blade

This evening, dinner at the General's Mansion was a little earlier than usual.

Originally, when Mo Kexin's mother and daughter came to the General's Mansion, Mo Peiyuan planned to have a family meal together.However, due to poor health, Mo Kexin's mother suffered from severe motion sickness after arriving by car in the afternoon. The family doctor of Mo's family prescribed medicine for her. She was resting and could not attend.General Friesman also had a game outside and couldn't come back.In addition, Mo Peiyuan suddenly received a notice in the afternoon that she had to rush back to Mo's headquarters to deal with some matters, so the dinner matter was left behind. After the dinner was prepared in the kitchen, it was sent to each house and hospital for a separate meal.

But Xiaolanni couldn't sit still, when she heard that her cousin was coming, she ate dinner in a hurry, and then hurriedly left the Yuchan Courtyard, heading for the Zizhu Courtyard in the East Wing where Mo Kexin lived temporarily.

It was already late autumn and November, and the weather in the Federation, which was already very cold, dropped to two or three degrees in the evening.Wearing a beautiful cotton-padded jacket and small leather boots, little Lannie was bouncing through the complicated corridors of the General's Mansion, holding the new toy she just bought in her hand, breathing white breath, her delicate little face was full of excitement.

The new toy is a board game, sort of like chess, but not quite the same.In short, it is very good at training intelligence and thinking skills. Lanny is good at playing this game. None of the servants in the house can beat her, except for the annoying brother.

Cousin will definitely not be able to win her.When she loses, as a bet, all the pancakes on her body will come.My cousin always carries this kind of delicious little thing with her. Although she doesn't give her all of them, she only has one or two at a time, and then she has to move out: "If you eat too much, you will get tooth decay." And so on The reasoning made Lanni feel unfinished.

Really, obviously I also secretly eat, stingy.

As soon as I ran to the corridor in the northwest, when the corridor turned, a person came in front of me. Little Lanni didn't stop the car, and bumped into it. Pieces from the new toy were scattered all over the floor.

"Miss! Oh, my little ancestor, it's all my fault, you didn't fall, did you?"

The oncoming person was an old woman. Lan Ni had met her several times before, and knew her surname was He. She had served in Mo's family for more than 30 years, and everyone in the house called her Mama He.At this moment, Mother He is coming over to help Lanni nervously.Lan Ni was precocious and precocious, and her tutor was very strict, so even though she stumbled for no reason, she didn't cry at all and didn't blame the servants. She got up from the ground, patted her clothes, and said calmly:

"It's okay, Mama He, I ran fast." Then he squatted down and picked up the chess pieces.

Mother He also supported her old body and squatted down to help Lan Ni pick up the chess pieces.

"Miss, are you going to play with Miss Biao?" Mother He asked after helping Lanny put all the chess pieces back into the chess box.

"Yeah." Lanny nodded, and then asked casually, "What is Mother He doing here?"

"I'm going to the East Wing too. Mrs. Biao can't sleep well at night, so my wife asked me to take care of it."

"Oh." Lanny nodded like a grown-up.

"I'll go there with the eldest lady." Mother He suggested.

Lanny didn't refuse.

One old and one young walked in the corridor at a slower pace.Lan Ni was actually urging her in her heart. Mama He walked too slowly, but it was not easy for her to urge the old man, so she had to take two steps, look back at Mama He, and then move forward when she caught up.

Not long after, I happened to pass by the garden where the well was.At that time, there was no rockery on top of the well, and some flowers and plants were simply planted in the garden. In the center was the old well covered by an iron-wood manhole cover, and fences were drawn around the old well to keep people away.

Lan Ni saw at that time that the heavy and thick iron-wood manhole cover seemed to be in a wrong position. It didn't completely cover the wellhead, as if it had been moved by tens of centimeters.Lan Ni stopped and froze in place, rubbing her eyes, thinking that she was dazzled, and no one in the mansion would touch the well, because it violated the taboo of the ancestors and would be severely punished.

At this time, Mother He had followed up and asked:

"Miss? Why don't you leave?"

"Mother He, look at that well..." Lan Ni pointed to the well and said, "Is the well cover open?"

"Oh, little ancestor, please don't talk nonsense, who will open the well cover?" Mother He seemed to be frightened, she took a quick glance at the well, and then pulled Lan Ni away.

"But..." Lanny's curiosity was completely aroused, and she asked, "I clearly saw that the manhole cover was removed."

"No, no, it's Missy, you're wrong." Mother He said repeatedly, her hand holding Lan Ni seemed to be stronger.

"Mother He!" Miss Lanny finally lost her temper. She stopped, pulled Mother He, frowned and said, "You didn't go to see it at all. How can you say that I was wrong?"

"Miss, please don't say such things again, it's really taboo. Go with Mama He obediently, and I'll tell you the story of the well, and you will know that the old woman is not fooling you."

Lan Ni pouted and thought about it. Although she was very curious, she was also frightened by He's mother's reaction and was a little scared.If she really asked her to go back and watch it again, she was a little afraid.So he said:

"Okay then, tell me."

On the way to the east chamber, Mother He briefly told Lan Ni the story of the well.

It is said that when the federation was just established, all the major forces were looking for suitable land to open up houses.At that time, the ancestors of the three major families in China had a very good relationship with each other, especially the Mo family and the Jiang family. They were alliances with each other long before the establishment of the Federation when the human race was separated.

The ancestor of the Jiang family knew physiognomy and Fengshui. At that time, he helped Mo's Fengshui in the main city, and he fell in love with this well at first sight.Let the Mo family put this well in the northwest, open the mansion from north to south, and seal a round iron and wood manhole cover on the well, so as to gather wealth and generate gold, and make a lot of money.The ancestor of the Mo family did as he said, and as the ancestor of the Jiang family said, the Mo family group grew rapidly in the next few years and became one of the largest chaebols in the federation.

It's just this Fukui, but something happened.Although the ancestors of the Mo family have repeatedly warned that no one is allowed to touch the well, there are still times when omissions are made.The 10-year-old grandson of Mo's ancestor, Lan Ni's uncle, secretly ran to the well to play. Out of curiosity, he pushed the heavy manhole cover away and jumped to play along the mouth of the well, but he stumbled and fell into the well. In the well, he fell to his death like this.

Although it was discovered quickly, it was already dead when rescued.

The ancestor of the Mo family was very sad and once wanted to seal the well.But in the end, due to some considerations, it still couldn’t be implemented. The well was still left in the garden, and a fence as high as a person was erected around it to prevent people from approaching.Only by standing on the high corridor can we vaguely see the condition of the wellhead.

A strange thing happened afterward. When several servants passed by the corridor, they saw that the ironwood manhole cover had been removed, but when they removed the fence, they walked in and looked, but found that it hadn’t been removed at all, and it was well covered. .It can be said to be an illusion once, but two or three times, different people make the same mistake, which is very scary.There are rumors that the ghost of the uncle and grandpa who fell to his death is unwilling to be lonely and has been making troubles.

Moreover, Mo's situation also fell into a bottleneck in those few years. It seemed that Jucaijing had been tainted and could no longer be the same as before.

Mother He's face turned blue after she finished speaking, but Lanny asked enthusiastically:

"Is there really treasure in that well?"

"No, Miss, it's about gathering wealth, not about treasures in the well."

"Really?" Lanny felt a little puzzled. Even though she was very smart, such things as physiognomy, feng shui, and wealth gathering were still unfamiliar to her who was not yet 7 years old.

"However..." Mother He changed the subject, "I heard that Lao Wu, who went down to salvage the young master, seemed to find some treasure down there, and then exchanged a large sum of money. But, it's probably nonsense. Alas, these people are just talkative and like to spread rumors."

Lan Ni's eyes widened at that time, there was really a baby in the well!Her pocket money is so strictly controlled, and there are still many things she wants that she can't buy. If she can go down the well and find the treasure, can't she exchange money?

The 7-year-old Xiaolanni didn't care about the rumors of ghost stories told by mother He at all. She had long believed that there were no ghosts and gods in this world, and this was what her father told her.She didn't take the ignorant rumors circulating among these servants at all.And she has already heard the flaw in this story, how can a 10-year-old child push away such a heavy iron-wood cover by himself?I heard from my brother that the lid weighed nearly two hundred catties at least, and it was impossible for a 10-year-old child to push it.

But at that time, little Lanni was still very innocent, and she didn't think about it carefully. If the child couldn't push the lid, who pushed the lid?Why did my uncle and grandpa fall into it?

All in all, what Mama He said moved Lanny's heart.

Afterwards, she found her cousin Mo Kexin, and stopped playing chess. After washing up, the two of them nestled on the bed and whispered. Lan Ni told her cousin about the well again vividly, and encouraged Mo Kexin to say:

"Sister Kexin, let's go down into the well to find the treasure, and exchange it for money after we find it."

"But I don't lack anything..." Mo Kexin didn't seem very interested, and looked at the excited cousin helplessly.

"Your mother is not in good health. If you have money, you can buy a lot of good things for your mother. Aren't things for adults very expensive?" 7-year-old Lanny analyzed clearly.

8-year-old Mo Kexin's eyes lit up. Her mother has always been very uncomfortable. Maybe with money, she can buy more powerful medicine or something. After taking it, her mother will not feel sick anymore.

Children at that age have no concept of money, and they don't even know their own financial situation. The medicine that Mo's family can't afford doesn't exist in this world.

"But but... will it be dangerous..." Mo Kexin was wearing a snow-white nightdress, hugging the pillow, her big eyes fluttered, and she was full of worry.

"It's okay!" Lanny stood up from the bed, wearing pink pajamas with disheveled hair, patted her chest, and said confidently, "Let's go after we have made enough preparations, such as climbing down bit by bit with a rope, absolutely nothing will happen. .”

Mo Kexin's ears were weak, so he was tied to the chariot by Lan Ni.Lanny, a ghost, is really well prepared.She knew that a long and strong rope was needed to go down the well, and a long crowbar was needed to push open the heavy iron-wood cover.In addition, you need a shovel and chisel for digging treasures.Large bags for treasures are also required.These tools can be found by sneaking into the warehouse in the mansion.

Lan Ni and Mo Kexin spent a whole day sneaking around, and finally found all the tools.And no one would care what the two little guys were doing, as if the two ladies were playing some newly invented game.Miss Laney is very strange, and the game she invented is different every day, and the servants are used to it.

It's just that they didn't find out. In fact, their whereabouts had already been followed by someone.

That day, Jiang Muli followed his mother, Jiang Siyan, to the Zangshu Pavilion of the General's Mansion to borrow books.A little tired from reading, Jiang Siyan asked her daughter to go for a walk to relax.Children, determination is always inferior to adults, even if Jiang Muli has been practicing martial arts since he was three years old, he still can't change his active nature.

Jiang Muli first went to the bathroom, and then left the Library Pavilion. Under the porch outside the Library Pavilion, she suddenly remembered that there was a movement that she had not been able to practice well in the new boxing technique that her mother taught her some time ago.She has been a martial arts idiot since she was a child, so she started to practice immediately, and she has the right to move her body.But before she practiced for a while, she saw Lan Ni and Mo Kexin running past with their packages in the corridor in the distance.

She was very puzzled, what are these two people doing?Also, Lanny hasn't come to play with her recently, she is thinking about what's going on.And the two seem to be a little sneaky.So with a move in her heart, she quietly followed.

On the way, the bag Mo Kexin was holding was broken, and an iron chisel fell out of it.Jiang Muli, who has excellent eyesight, saw it from afar, and immediately became more curious. What are they doing with a chisel?No matter how calm she is, she is still a child at heart, and she immediately finds it very interesting.After that, she followed until the two girls hid in the Yuchan Courtyard, and then she failed to follow.

She went back to Zangshu Pavilion to find her mother, but she was scolded by her mother, saying that she ran away without a trace, she was really uncertain and she would be punished.She was not allowed to have dinner and was punished to stand outside the house.This was right in her arms, and after standing for a few minutes, no one was there.She slipped to Yuchan courtyard to ambush.Quickly turned into the courtyard, and secretly hid outside the window of Lanny's main house to listen. She really let her hear the voices of the two girls discussing secretly.It is said to set an alarm clock, sleep until 12 o'clock in the evening and get up, and secretly go to the well.

By the well?The old well immediately appeared in Mu Li's mind, and she knew where it was.

12 o'clock?Jiang Muli rolled his dark eyeballs and secretly smiled.
