"Stop it, both of you. You don't know. Last time I brought a dozen guards into the mountains, guess what happened?"

Song Guan waved mysteriously at the two girls, motioning them to come closer.

Zhou Sisi thought Song He was going to say something strange, so she immediately leaned her head over. Bai Wanyue followed suit, and even Song Moli pricked up his ears.

"I had just entered the mountain that day and had been walking for less than half an hour when I suddenly heard wolves howling and tigers roaring. The entire Daqing Mountain began to shake, and the air was filled with a thick smell of blood."

"I became alert at that time. Suddenly, there was a gust of cold wind, and the hairs on my body stood up. I wanted to insist on seeing what was going on, but the guards dragged me down the mountain."

Anyway, his previous guards were not there, so he could say whatever he wanted. He would never say that he was the one who started running and even lost his shoes.

"Hahahaha, you'd be wasting your talent if you didn't go and be a storyteller under the overpass!"

"It's just a fight between a tiger and a wolf. It's not as mysterious as you say. You are just a coward and you still want to scare us!"

Bai Wanyue didn't care and said that her father even raised wolves, so what was there to be afraid of? She was good at martial arts and was not afraid of these things at all, so don't even think about abandoning her.

"When did you go up the mountain? Was it a few days ago?" Zhou Sisi asked thoughtfully.

"Yes! Did you hear it too? The sound was so loud, so I suspect there is a wild beast in this Daqing Mountain!" Song Guan said confidently, while eating the skewers, not eating less at all.

"Hahahaha, the beast turned into a spirit? I'm dying of laughter!" Bai Wanyue was not giving any face and laughed so hard that she fell backwards.

"Since you said so, we should go and take a look. Maybe we can catch some beautiful vixen! Right, Sister Bai?" Zhou Sisi gave Bai Wanyue a secretive look.

Bai Wanyue immediately followed up: "Yes! Then we must follow. If it doesn't work, you can tell us the exact location and we can go there by ourselves!"

"Hey! Why do you always contradict me? You were not like this before!" Song Guan was so angry that he almost slammed the table. This man's true nature was now completely exposed. Humph, he is really fickle!

"Tsk, that's because I've come to terms with it. We can't give up the whole forest because of one tree, right, boss!"

"Hahaha, yes, and it's a crooked tree, haha!"

"Yeah!" Zhou Sisi and Bai Wanyue sang in unison and finally clapped their hands, making Song Guan so angry that he jumped to his feet.

I can't beat them in an argument, and I can't beat them in eating! Song Guan went to the kids' table next door angrily to get the grilled lamb chops.

"When are you going up the mountain? I'll let Lingsi stay to help you." Song Moli handed Zhou Sisi a glass of peach wine and asked softly.

"Aren't you going? You should be in good health for hiking now, right?" Zhou Sisi took the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp. The peach blossom wine was sweet and mellow, very much to her liking.

"I don't know martial arts. If we encounter danger, I'll just be a drag even if I go there." Song Moli forced a helpless smile, his face looking very lonely.

"I thought it was a big deal. I'll protect you. Let's go and see it together. It'll be more lively with more people!" Zhou Sisi patted Song Moli's shoulder comfortingly.

Song Moli: Hehe, she invited me to dig for treasure!

Ling Er: No, hehe, the master is really acting! He thinks that these martial arts masters are just decorations!

"Yes, Song Moli, let's go together. I also know martial arts. Let's go, let's go!" Bai Wanyue said.

"Okay then, I will bring a few more guards with me and will definitely not hold you back!" Song Moli pretended to think and nodded.

"Come on, cheers, I wish us a successful treasure hunt!" Zhou Sisi raised the glass to the two of them.

"Okay, cheers, I wish us success!" Bai Wanyue also raised the glass in her hand.

"Cheers!" Song Moli also raised his glass with a smile, and the three of them clinked glasses successfully.

"Hey, hey, hey, do you still care about me? I'm the leader! You're not going to take me with you!" Song Guangang had just come back with grilled lamb chops and happened to hear the conversation between these three people. He almost cried with anger.

"Okay, then I'll take you with me. Do you have a treasure map? Take it out and show it to me!" Zhou Sisi hooked her finger at him.

"That's more like it. Hey, hey, hey! What do you mean take me with you? I mean I'll take you with me!"

"Forget it. I won't bother with you. Here, this is the treasure map." Song Guan took out a wrinkled piece of cowhide from his sleeve pocket and handed it to Zhou Sisi.

"Were the holes there originally? Or were they bitten by ants later?" Zhou Sisi spread out the cowhide and looked at it again and again. She couldn't understand what the hell was drawn on it. There were small holes all over it, and it was torn and smelled musty.

"I don't know. When I got it, there were already these holes on it. Do you see what the problem is?"

Song Guan had studied this cowhide treasure map before and had asked several old Taoist priests to help him look at it, but he still couldn't understand it. He thought Zhou Sisi had seen some clues.

"Look, can you tell what is drawn on it?" Zhou Sisi handed the spread-out tattered cowhide to Song Moli. She thought that this boy had read so many books that he would definitely be able to tell what the weird drawings on it were.

Song Moli looked at it carefully, then turned the picture over and had a rough understanding in his mind. He didn't understand the rules and boxes drawn on it, but he seemed to have seen the words on it in a book. It seemed to be the secret code of Liangxia Kingdom, circulated only among the royal family of Liangxia Kingdom.

He was now sure that the treasure map was real. His unreliable uncle had finally proven to be reliable for once.

"The words on it are Liangxia country's secret code. I can't make out what it says specifically. Turn the pattern on it upside down and see what it looks like?"

Song Moli placed the torn cowhide on the small table, and the other three immediately crowded over to take a look.

"Is this the mountain map of Daqing Mountain? Is it right?" Zhou Sisi took a look and said. She had seen the topographic map in Songhe Restaurant before.

"Yeah!" Song Moli nodded affirmatively.

"What are these little holes on it?" Bai Wanyue poked at the holes curiously.

"Could it be that a small hole represents a treasure hiding place?" Zhou Sisi asked thoughtfully.

"What about the secret code on it? What does it say?" Song Guan picked up the cowhide and looked at it carefully and asked.

"What else can you write? It's just about the death of a tomb robber and some alarmist words to scare people!" Bai Wanyue rolled her eyes at Song He.

"How about we give it a try first and start digging the way we planned? What do you think?" Zhou Sisi made the decision. She was impatient and wanted to give it a try since she had a rough guess. Procrastination was not her style.

"Boss, I'll listen to you!" Bai Wanyue responded immediately.

"Okay, let's try it first! I agree!" Song Guan also wanted to try it again. This time there were more people, and he was not afraid of the tiger.

"Okay, I'll listen to you!" Song Moli also nodded and agreed to Zhou Sisi's method.

So the four of them started discussing when to set off and what tools to bring, and they were chatting very enthusiastically.

The scene at the Qiao family's dinner table in Beijing was so solemn and so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.
