After the meal, Qiao Jian'er and the other person were not in a hurry to leave. They stayed with the brother and sister to chat and exchange pleasantries. It was hot here during the day, but there was a cool breeze at night. There was a bright moon and stars in the sky. Looking up, their hearts felt a lot more open.

For some reason, Qiao Jianer always felt that the brother and sister were a little insincere, as if they were hiding something.

A soldier appeared at the gate of the small courtyard.

"Dansuo, there are guests at Uncle Yin's place who need an interpreter. Let's go quickly."

It was common to come to work at night, but Suo immediately stood up: "I'm going to translate for Uncle Yin. Miss Shui and Mr. Bai, you live upstairs, let's go up together. Xida, you should go to bed early."

"Okay, let's go." Qiao Jianer got up from the mat on the ground.

As for the ruby, Dan Suo dug a small hole in the ground inside the house and buried it, then covered it with something.

After several people left, Xida also went into the room and closed the door. She sat on the edge of the bed, feeling restless, with worries surging in her heart.

"Which country's caravan is coming?" Dansuo asked the soldier.

"Don't ask about this, you'll know when you get there." In the moonlight, the soldier's expression was a little strange.

"Dan Suo, Uncle Yin has been very kind to you. If you dare to hide anything from Uncle Yin, he will not let you go easily."

But Suo's heart skipped a beat: "How dare I let Uncle Yin down? I did whatever Uncle Yin asked me to do and never disobeyed."

The soldier laughed and said, "If you got something good, something very precious, would you give it to Uncle Yin?"

As soon as this soldier appeared, Qiao Jianer felt that he was weird and seemed to have ulterior motives.

She suddenly had an idea and searched on the space translator, and actually found the language translator of Puchen Country.

Listening to the soldier's sinister words and looking at Dan Suo's unnatural expression, Qiao Lian'er wondered, could there be something on Dan Suo that was worth Uncle Yin's attention?

But Suo moved his fingers and clenched them into fists nervously, trying to calm the gradually growing panic in his heart.

He immediately had two guesses. One was that the soldier was not dead and leaked information.

Second, other people saw Xida pick up the ruby.

He really didn't know how to answer the soldier's question.

Which law stipulates that good things should be handed over to Uncle Yin? This is not Uncle Yin's mountain, so how can we make such shameless demands? Even Naga Buddha said such a thing.

But because of his uncle's overwhelming power, he certainly couldn't speak his mind.

"I--"

"Cough cough cough." Qiao Jianer suddenly started coughing, and everyone's eyes fell on her.

"Are you okay?" Pei Shijiu hesitantly stretched out his hand and patted her on the back. He not only had feelings for her, but also respect for her. Since they were both unmarried, he was usually very careful even when touching her sleeves.

"Okay." Qiao Jianer returned to his normal state.

The soldier then realized that there were two more people following them, and they were the people Uncle Yin was most worried about. It would be better for him to go to Uncle Yin and talk about it first, so as not to alert the enemy.

Qiao Jianer told Pei Shijiu what she heard through her mind.

"It seems that Dansuo is in danger this time." Pei Shijiu said.

"Do you remember? When we were at Dansuo's house, the brother and sister asked us if we wanted gems. Could it be that these so-called good things have been noticed by them?" Qiao Jianer guessed.

"That's basically it. When you said you didn't want it, they looked very disappointed. If it wasn't theirs, it wouldn't cause such a big emotional uproar."

"Jia'er, the brother and sister are in danger. What should we do next?"

Qiao Jianer used the space probe.

"The jewel is not on Danso's person. It must be at home. Xida is alone at home. This won't do. We have to go back."

Qiao Jian'er didn't want to reveal her abilities, but under the circumstances, she had no choice.

She grasped Dansou's sleeve and communicated her thoughts through this shared touch.

"Dan Suo, I am the Water Girl. Actually, I came here with the will of the Naga God. So now, you can hear what I say. You should answer me with your brain, not out loud."

But Suo's body trembled, thinking that he was hallucinating because he was too nervous. He looked at his sleeve that was pulled, then turned his head in disbelief and looked at Qiao Jianer.

Qiao Jianer nodded to him. Although she was wearing a thin veil, one could see the sincerity in her eyes.

"I'm sorry. When you mentioned the gem, I didn't think it might be something you and your sister possessed that put you in danger. I want to save you and your sister. You must do as I say."

A clear voice entered his mind, but the woman opposite him did not move her lips or teeth at all.

But Suo didn't have time to think about any mysterious and incredible phenomenon. He nodded hurriedly, his eyes blurred by tears.

"We have a gem, a very valuable ruby, which was seen by Xida. At that time, a patrol soldier who was Uncle Yin's subordinate was fighting with Xida for the ruby. I killed the soldier with a stone. I don't know if he was dead or not, and I don't know if anyone saw him. It seems that this matter has been leaked."

"Then why don't you explain it more clearly? You just ask me if I want the gem. I don't even know it's yours." There was a hint of blame in Qiao Lian'er's tone.

"The transaction is voluntary. Miss Shui is our brother and I's benefactor and also our friend. We don't want to force you."

Qiao Jian'er sighed inwardly. This overly honest and soft-hearted child had nearly cost her her life. If they had truly found a priceless ruby, who else could they sell it to besides her? Selling it to anyone would be a sure death. Without a background and the strength to protect herself, she was simply a fat sheep that had been delivered to her door.

"So, when you go to Uncle Yin and he asks you about it at first, you should be hesitant and reluctant to give it up. Only when he's pushed hard enough will you admit that you really do have a gem."

"By the way, where is the gem hidden?"

"It was hidden under the bed where Xida slept. I dug a hole and buried it."

"Okay, tell Uncle Yin about this location."

"But it's not a gift to him for nothing. It doesn't matter if I have to live a hard life. This is my sister's only chance to turn things around."

"Leave it to me." Qiao Jianer let go of his sleeve and patted his shoulder.

But Suo's heart felt like it was being cut by a knife, but he made up his mind and believed in the water girl.

When they reached the top of the hill, Qiao Jian'er and the others said goodbye to Dan Suo.

But Suo and the soldiers could not see him, so Qiao Jianer put Pei Shijiu into the space, put on an invisible cloak, and teleported to the brother and sister's home.

The door was closed and it was dark outside. Xida did not go to sleep, but paced back and forth anxiously.

My brother has been called away tonight, please don’t get into any trouble.
