Eating big melon is so refreshing

The sky was filled with sunset glow. Xiao Chunya picked up a cup of tea and took a sip slowly facing the sunset. A busy day came to an end.

On April 15th, Xiao Chunya and Xiao Qiu were about to turn ten years old. They ate a bowl of longevity noodles with eggs and just muddled through the day.

In the Daye Dynasty, being ten years old meant being a half-grown adult and having to take on some of the work at home. Boys had to go to the fields to do farm work, and girls had to be responsible for the family's laundry and cooking.

There are eight villages in the suburbs of Shouchun. Xiao Chunya designated Shangyang Village, Dingyang Village and Xiaolin Village as three places for people to search for the underground palace. In addition to the search teams organized by private organizations, there were also search teams sent by the government. The search work was vigorous.

"Host, you clearly know that the underground palace is within the range of Shangyang Village and Dingyang Village, why do you add a Xiaolin Village to increase the difficulty?"

"Xiaolin Village is too poor. The only road in the village is full of potholes. When it rains, water accumulates and becomes a fish pond, making it impossible for villagers to pass through."

Xiao Chunya did not hide her purpose at all. "Look how good it is now. In order to find the underground palace smoothly, those people repaired the road in Xiaolin Village. This month, Xiaolin Village opened a homestay. Even the poorest Ding Laosan family was able to demolish their thatched house and build three mud-brick houses."

Xiaodong Village and Xiaolin Village are the two poorest villages in Shouchun. Xiaodong Village has a coal mine so it has transformed into a wealthy village, while Xiaolin Village has nothing and can only rely on this wave of people to increase its income.

"The village is so small, and I haven't found it after searching for more than a month. Isn't it strange for the host?"

"I think there is a hidden formation inside, so I asked the Xuanwu Guards to join the search team." Xiao Chunya said, "I took over my brother's work these days to free up his hands. Alas, I regret not having read enough books when I need them, so I still need to read more books."

Right now

Guo Xiaofeng, who was hundreds of miles away, accidentally discovered a hidden cave while chasing prey in the back mountain. The entrance of the cave was covered by lush vegetation, and if it weren't for the hunter's agility, it would probably be difficult to detect.

Guo Xiaofeng had been to this place at least eight times. He clearly remembered that there was no old locust tree here before. He heard from the old people in the village that old locust trees are likely to attract ghosts, so he was somewhat afraid.

A gust of wind blew, and the sound of the wind seemed to carry the whimpering of a child. Guo Xiaofeng was so scared that he staggered down the mountain and accidentally fell.

Dingyang Village, the village chief’s home.

"Village Chief, something happened to Xiao Feng." San Gou came running over in a hurry, his face very panicked. "Xiao Feng is possessed by evil spirits!"

The village chief followed Ergou to Xiaofeng's house. Xiaofeng's grandfather and the village chief were cousins. The two brothers had always had a good relationship, and the relationship between the two families was extremely close.

"Sir, I kowtow to you."

In the yard

Guo Laoer and the old woman knelt down and kowtowed to a man in brocade clothes with tears in their eyes. That man was Eighteen.

Guo Laoer has only one son. Ten years ago, his son and daughter-in-law went missing. Their grandson Xiaofeng became the motivation for the old couple to live. Some time ago, their grandson's marriage was settled and everything was ready for the new house. They were just waiting to marry his grandson's wife at the end of the month. But something happened to their grandson in the mountains!

Eighteen and Nineteen brought a few guards to look for the underground palace. The young master guessed that since the villagers had not been able to find any trace of the underground palace, it was very likely that the entrance to the underground palace was hidden in a formation.

They had not even reached halfway up the hill behind Dingyang Village when they saw Guo Xiaofeng, who looked a little crazy. He had fallen several times and looked in a very miserable state.

Doctor Zhang came along just to relax. He hadn't come out to collect herbs for a long time. He had gained weight from sitting in the yamen all day. But he was not a fat man and didn't need a body of fat!

"Old man, come in." Doctor Zhang's voice came out, "This child was stimulated. When he fell, he accidentally bit the herb that caused hallucinations. Now he is awake and fine."

The village chief finally spoke up, "Xiaofeng has been hunting in the mountains for three or four years. He is smart and cautious. What could have stimulated him?"

A black shadow passed by. Nineteen went to the mountain to check and flew back using his lightness skills. His usually expressionless face was unusually excited.

Although Eighteen and Nineteen have completely different personalities, they are very close. Looking at his brother's expression, he had guessed what he was thinking. His voice was trembling a little. "Did you find the underground palace?"

Nineteen nodded and briefly said, "I followed the footprints and found the cave. The sound of the wind there was a bit strange, as if a child was crying."

Eighteen slapped his thigh and said, "That's right. Brother Xiaofeng found the cave. He was frightened by the strange sound of the wind. When he ran down the mountain, he accidentally fell and happened to eat the herb that caused hallucinations."

Eighteen gave Xiaofeng's grandfather a small silver ingot (two taels of silver) and did not say it was a reward, but just said it was a gift to congratulate Xiaofeng on his upcoming marriage.

"Village chief, keep the news secret for now. Inform the villagers tomorrow morning, and then organize a team to go into the mountain." "That place is a bit weird. I'm going to ask the young master to perform a ritual tomorrow."

The village chief nodded excitedly. The underground palace was found in the back mountain of the village. After the disaster, the villagers now had a way to survive.

In the evening of that day, the residents of Shouchun Town received a message that the entrance to the underground palace had been found. Those who wanted to go to the underground palace were requested to gather at the gate of the yamen on time at 8 a.m. the next morning and bring tools and food.

"The entrance to the underground palace has been found!"

"Hahaha, finally found it!"

"Tools? What tools do you need?"

"It should be ropes, shovels and the like. The underground palace is in the mountains, so we must dig a path and prepare medicine. Who knows if there is poisonous gas in the underground palace?"

"Maybe the coffin is filled with gold, silver and jewelry? Hehe, I'm going to get rich."

"What gold, silver, and jewelry? I think there is a zombie in the coffin. Otherwise, why would the government invite a wizard to cast a spell?"

"Don't scare me, I'm most afraid of these things."

Xiao Chunya, who was strolling on the street to get to know the people, turned pale when he heard the word "zombie". In this time and space, besides ghosts, the existence of zombies cannot be ruled out!

"Fatty sister, don't go tomorrow." Xiao Qiulin's voice sounded helpless. If Fatty sister went on a long trip, Master Mingyue would definitely go with her, and then all the official duties would fall on Xiaopang Luo, and the little fat man couldn't handle it!

Xiao Chunya and Xiaopang hesitated for a while and said, "I'd better not make trouble. You should be careful."

"Don't worry if there are so many people following you. Ghosts and the like are nothing to worry about. The most worrying thing is the traps and poisonous gas in the underground palace." Xiao Qiulin's voice was a little cold. "It's hard to manage a team with too many people. There will always be one or two people who will cause trouble."

Xiao Chunya understood and said, "Just do whatever you want. With the Xuanwu Guards here, there won't be any trouble."
