Tian Xiaoman looked at Fat Gray's neck. There was only a circle of thick gray hair there, and there was nothing there at all!

"Fat Gray, what do you want me to see?"

Fat Gray looked down and immediately felt embarrassed, "Oops, sorry, the hair is too long, it's covering it!"

Fat Gray's little paws scratched at his neck for a long time, and after that, he finally stopped.

"Xiao Man, look, this is it - it's beautiful, isn't it? When I saw this, I thought of you. I think you will like it."

A bright white light flashed from Fat Gray's claws.

What is that? It seems to be worn around Fat Gray's neck, and Tian Xiaoman instantly became interested.

Fat Gray pulled hard, but still couldn't pull the thing off.

"Xiao Man, come and help me, you almost strangled me!"

Tian Xiaoman went over to help. She was not mistaken. There was indeed a red string wrapped around Pang Hui's neck. At the bottom of the red string, just below Pang Hui's neck, was a round, white jade pendant.

The jade pendant is only as big as an adult's thumbnail, but there is a Qilin carved on it. Although the jade pendant is not big overall, the Qilin is carved vividly and it is obviously a good thing at first glance.

It’s a pity that I don’t know how Fat Hui tied the red thread around his neck. It was tied so tightly that the slightest force deformed Fat Hui’s neck. Now it’s very difficult to untie it.

"Fat Gray, don't move. Hold on, I'll find a way."

The man and the mouse worked for a long time before they successfully removed the red line from Fat Gray's neck.

Ignoring the discomfort in his neck, Fat Gray quickly took credit.

"How is it? Does it look good? I think both the size and the color suit you very well."

Tian Xiaoman touched the jade pendant in her hand. The warm touch of the jade pendant made her feel inexplicably at ease.

"What a good thing, Fatty Gray. This is made of jade. Where did you get it? Did you bring it back from someone's house? Let me tell you, taking something without asking is called stealing, and it's wrong."

Tian Xiaoman: Uh, isn’t it a bit weird to talk about the principles of being a human being with a mouse?

Fat Gray didn't take it seriously. "Xiao Man, don't worry. This thing has no owner. Now it's yours. Take it with you and let me see it. It must look great."

"Let's talk about it when we get home. If my father sees this, he will definitely question us."

Tian Xiaoman: I shouldn't have done that to you. In fact, I feel a little disgusted. After all, I just took it off your neck. If I put it on now, I can't accept it.

Tian Xiaoman decided that after returning home, he must talk to Pang Hui about personal hygiene, no, about the hygiene of each rat.

Perhaps it was because Tian Xiaoman and Pang Hui were talking a little loudly that Tian Danian, who was driving the carriage outside, heard the noise inside the carriage.

"Daughter, what did you say? Dad didn't hear you clearly!"

Tian Xiaoman and Pang Hui were both startled when they heard Tian Danian's voice suddenly.

One man and one mouse, one was busy hiding the jade pendant, while the other instinctively found a hidden place and crawled into it.

"Dad, I didn't say anything, did you hear me wrong?"

Tian Danian swung his whip and hit the horse, feeling suspicious.

He clearly heard the little girl's voice!

Could it be that I am old and hard of hearing?

For fear of arousing Tian Danian's suspicion, Tian Xiaoman and Pang Hui spoke in much lower voices on the rest of the journey.

"Fat Gray, where did you find this jade pendant?"

Fat Gray thought for a moment, "It was in the mountains. My hyena brother and I went out hunting. We passed by a cave. There were many boxes in the cave. They were filled with gold, silver, green and other things. One of the boxes contained this jade pendant. The color was obviously different from the other things. I noticed it at first sight. What do you think? Are you happy?"

Fat Gray stared at Tian Xiaoman with a burning gaze, his eyes full of expectation, "If Xiaoman is happy, then can we--"

Fat Gray has not been hanging around in the city for nothing these days, he has gotten a lot of useful information.

Many people in the city are having a hard time. I heard that there is not enough food. Those who are lucky may have some leftovers, but those who are unlucky can only find another way out with their families.

If I perform well, will Xiaoman give me more food?

It's not easy for it either, as it has a large family of brothers and sisters to take care of.

"You can't hide anything in your heart. Don't worry, I like your gift very much and will definitely give you a good return."

Fat Gray almost jumped for joy, "Xiao Man, you are so nice!"

Tian Xiaoman: Why do I feel like I'm taking advantage of Fat Hui?

Well, I should give Fat Gray more food next time. After all, it’s not easy for mice to live in winter!

However, Tian Xiaoman was more interested in the cave that Pang Hui mentioned.

"Can you still find the cave you mentioned?"

Fat Gray nodded, "I think it should be possible. This is my first time going there. It's quite far from our Tianjia Village, but we can ask the hyena brother for help. It will definitely find the place. Xiaoman, where do you want to go?"

Tian Xiaoman's eyes flickered, "I suspect that the cave is filled with gold, silver, jewelry and so on. Just think about it - if we had those gold, silver, and jewelry, not only our family, but also you and your brothers and sisters, would have a better life. It's just that we can't go now, now is not the right time, but we will definitely go."

After listening to Fat Hui's description, Tian Xiaoman guessed that the cave should be filled with a lot of gold, silver and jewelry.

The rule of the old Tian family is that if you don't take advantage of an opportunity, you're a bastard. So she would definitely go.

However, she definitely couldn't accomplish it alone. At least she needed her father's help. She thought about how to tell her father about this matter.

After another two hours of driving, Tian Danian asked everyone to stop and rest for a while before continuing on the road.

During the break, Tian Danian and Shitou could also take a nap. After all, driving a cart is strenuous work. Only after a good rest can they go better on the next journey.

Sisters Tian Xiaoman and Tian Xiaochun were responsible for boiling water and heating the pancakes. When the aroma of the pancakes wafted out, Tian Danian had already woken up.

"Dad, don't you want to sleep a little longer?"

"I can't sleep. Let your elder brother sleep a little longer. He is exhausted from the journey."

As soon as Tian Danian finished speaking, Shitou, who had been sleeping honestly just now, suddenly shouted, "Be careful!"

Everyone's eyes turned to Shitou, who had not woken up yet. In the light of the fire, his face was covered in sweat, his brows were furrowed, and his expression was extremely painful.

"Boss—"

Tian Danian hurried over and gently woke his son up.

"Boss, what's wrong with you? Are you having a nightmare?"

Shitou was awakened by Tian Danian, still breathing heavily with lingering fear.

Tian Danian asked Xiaochun to bring a bowl of warm water and hand it to his eldest son.

"Drink some water first, and we'll talk about the rest later."

Shitou took the bowl of water and gulped it down. After finishing the bowl of water, his breathing became more even, but his face still looked bad.

"Dad, I'm having a nightmare again!

Nightmare?

Tian Xiaoman had a bad feeling because his elder brother hadn't had a nightmare for a long time.

Could it be——
