Chapter 71 Treasure Map
Lu Yundi looked at the ink on the land deed, and a sense of inexplicable expectation surged in his heart.
She gently put down the contract and said to Yan Canglan and Yan Shuqin beside her: "Let's set off now and go to Luoxia Village to take a look."
Yan Canglan nodded slightly, with a hint of determination in his eyes: "Don't worry, mother. No matter what happens in Luoxia Village, I will be loyal to my duties and live up to your expectations."
Yan Shuqin was curious. She pulled Lu Yundi's sleeve and said, "Mother, Luoxia Village sounds very interesting. What kind of neighbors will we have?"
The three of them set out on the road to Luoxia Village together. Along the way, the villagers of Luoxia Village all cast curious glances at them. Finally, they arrived at the village.
Luoxia Village is located in a wide valley. The afterglow of the setting sun shines on the roofs of the village houses, like a beautiful painting. As soon as the three entered the village, they were surrounded by a group of villagers.
"Hey, where is this lady from?" an old woman asked enthusiastically.
Lu Yundi smiled slightly and responded politely: "I am the wife of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, Lu Yundi, and this is my son Yan Canglan and my daughter Yan Shuqin. We came from the capital, and this is our first time in Luoxia Village."
"It turns out to be the wife of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery!" The villagers showed awe. A middle-aged man came out and said with a bow, "I am the village chief here, my name is Zhao Guangyi. It is an honor for our Luoxia Village that you have come."
Yan Canglan frowned slightly, looking at the expressions of the villagers, and couldn't help but feel suspicious. He whispered to Lu Yundi: "Mother, the people here seem to be too enthusiastic about our arrival."
Lu Yundi nodded slightly, with a shrewd look in his eyes: "Yes, we still need to be more careful."
Led by Zhao Guangyi, the three of them came to the core area of Luoxia Village. The villagers gathered around and looked at them curiously.
"Madam, this is the village teacher, his name is Zhao Shouren," Zhao Guangyi introduced.
Zhao Shouren was a middle-aged man, dressed in blue, with a gentle smile on his face. He bowed to Lu Yundi and said, "Madam, I have long heard of your great name. It is a great honor to meet you today."
Lu Yundi smiled slightly and responded, "Mr. Zhao, you are too kind. I am just an ordinary woman."
Zhao Shouren's eyes flashed with appreciation, and he talked with Yan Canglan and Yan Shuqin, asking about their studies. Yan Canglan and Yan Shuqin both behaved very well, winning Zhao Shouren's praise.
The night in Luoxia Village was quiet and beautiful. The three of them stayed at Zhao Guangyi's house. After dinner, Yan Canglan and Yan Shuqin sat in the yard, looking at the starry sky.
"Brother, what do you think of this village?" Yan Shuqin asked.
Yan Canglan pondered for a moment and said, "This village may seem peaceful on the surface, but there are undercurrents. We must be vigilant."
Yan Shuqin nodded and looked at the sky worriedly: "Yes, I always feel that something is wrong here."
At this time, Lu Yundi came out, looked at the two of them, and said softly: "What are you talking about?"
Yan Canglan and Yan Shuqin quickly told Lu Yundi about their worries. Lu Yundi smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will pay attention. However, since we are here, we must try our best to integrate into this village and understand the situation here."
The next day, Lu Yundi and the children began to interact with the villagers. They helped with farm work, talked with the villagers, and gradually got to know the local conditions and customs of Luoxia Village.
In the eyes of the villagers, Lu Yundi and the children are so different. They are polite, yet full of wisdom and courage. The villagers can't help but respect this family.
However, as they got to know Luoxia Village better, Yan Canglan and Yan Shuqin felt that the village was full of mystery. They found that although the people of Luoxia Village were enthusiastic, they rarely talked about things outside the village.
A month later, Yan Canglan and Yan Shuqin finally couldn't help but ask Lu Yundi about their doubts. Lu Yundi smiled and said, "I know what you are wondering. In fact, I feel the same way."
Yan Canglan asked anxiously: "Mother, what should we do then?"
Lu Yundi pondered for a moment and said, "We need to get to know this village more deeply and find out its secrets. I believe that as long as we observe carefully, we will definitely find clues."
After hearing this, Yan Canglan and Yan Shuqin's eyes flashed with determination.
One day, Yan Canglan met the old village chief at the entrance of the village. The old village chief looked at Yan Canglan with a loving look in his eyes, as if he was looking at his grandson. Yan Canglan looked at the old village chief's eyes, and a warm feeling surged in his heart. He asked: "Village chief, do you know any secrets of this village?"
The old village chief smiled slightly, shook his head and said, "Children, the more you know, the more troubles you will have. Some things are better left unknown."
Yan Canglan was a little disappointed, but he also knew that the old village chief would not tell him the answer.
On the other side, Yan Shuqin was strolling in the village. She saw the villagers were busy, some working in the fields, some washing clothes by the river, and some chatting at the entrance of the village. As she looked at them, she became more and more confused. What secrets were hidden in this village?
She walked up to a woman who was washing clothes and asked with a smile, "Aunt, do you know any secrets of this village?"
The woman raised her head, looked at Yan Shuqin, and smiled: "Little girl, I can't answer your question. However, I know that this village is a good place, and the villagers here are all good people."
Yan Shuqin felt helpless, but she did not give up.
After returning home, Yan Canglan and Yan Shuqin told Lu Yundi about their discovery. Lu Yundi smiled and said, "You did a good job, but it will take time to find the secret of this village."
Just then, a villager came running over and told them that a strange cave was found under the big banyan tree at the entrance of the village. Yan Canglan and Yan Shuqin immediately followed the villagers to the entrance of the village.
They saw that at the root of the big banyan tree, there was a cave covered by grass. The cave was pitch black and they couldn't see clearly what was inside. Yan Canglan hesitated for a moment, then walked in without hesitation.
The cave was dark and damp, and Yan Canglan and Yan Shuqin walked carefully. Suddenly, they saw a beam of light. They followed the light and found that the source of the light was a stone tablet.
There was a passage of words engraved on the stone tablet. Yan Canglan and Yan Shuqin looked at it carefully, with a hint of surprise in their eyes. They finally found the secret of Luoxia Village.
Yan Canglan softly read the words on the stone tablet, his voice filled with excitement that could not be concealed: "'The treasure map of Luoxia Village, whoever obtains it can rule the world.' This... is this the legendary treasure map?"
Yan Shuqin's eyes flashed with confusion, and then turned into determination: "Brother, since we have found it, it is our responsibility to uncover this secret and see what this treasure contains."
Just as they were immersed in this unexpected discovery, a slight cough came from deep in the cave. They immediately became alert and carefully groped their way towards the source of the sound.
