Ning Xiusu took it from him and asked, "Aren't you afraid of being poisoned?"

Hua Jianbai was already poisoned, so he didn't bother to care.

"As the saying goes, fight poison with poison." As he said this, he picked up another piece and took a bite.

He found the chocolate rich and melt-in-your-mouth, with a slightly grainy texture, similar to the ones sold in supermarkets.

Ning Xiusu saw this and shook his head.

……

"Oh, this thing is amazing!"

Suddenly, there was an even stranger exclamation, full of childishness.

Ning Xiusu turned around when he heard the voice and looked in that direction.

I saw a little girl wearing a red silk skirt with gold weaving, holding a grenade-like thing in her hand, with a fuse attached to the end.

A jade-like hand under the white light is about to pull the fuse.

"Don't pull!"

Ning Xiusu and Hua Jianbai shouted in unison.

Liuliu was so frightened that she retracted her hand. Hua Jianbai didn't care about his lame leg and hurriedly snatched it from her.

"Wu...what are you doing..."

Liuliu's rosy little mouth pouted, her nose wrinkled, and she was about to cry.

"Crazy girl, this thing is very dangerous, just listen to me."

Hanami Baijian scared the person and could only half-coax her and speak softly to her.

Liu Liu then laughed again, "Little brother, what is this?"

"It's a bomb."

Ning Xiusu said something.

"Fried...eggs...wuwu..."

After hearing the name of this thing, Liuliu didn't know what it was and suddenly started crying again, as if she was extremely sad.

Ning Xiusu was stunned, not knowing how he had made the child cry.

Hanamibai cried out "Ouch", and no matter how much I tried to coax him patiently for a long time, chocolate didn't work.

He said anxiously, "It's all your fault, big villain. This crazy girl is always talking nonsense, what are we going to do now?"

She seemed to be thinking of something sad and couldn't stop crying.

"I'm not a crazy girl! My name is Liuliu."

"Okay, okay, Liuliu, be good. Why are you crying?"

Liuliu pouted and said aggrievedly: "I thought of my sister, sister... wow wow wow wow... my sister said she would give me a bomb, and my sister disappeared..."

Liuliu suddenly burst into tears, and kept talking about her sister...

Ning Xiusu sighed upon seeing this.

"Guardian Hua, I heard it. This is not my fault..."

Hua Jianbai rolled his eyes, put the grenade in his pocket, and seemed to touch something, handing a straw grasshopper to Liuliu.

"Little girl, stop crying. How about I give you something?"

Liuliu took the ingeniously woven grasshopper and burst out laughing again, her expression changing like turning the pages of a book.

Ning Xiusu shook his head. Hua Jianbai was coaxing the little girl.

His attention was focused on the hall. He walked around and came to the bookcase on the right. He touched the pull ring of the drawer and felt that it was slightly rough.

It should be openable...

Ning Xiusu pressed the handle down a little and turned it to the left at the same time.

As this action was completed, there was a slight "click" sound, but the drawer did not pop open as expected, as if it was stuck inside.

Looking around, there's nothing special about this hall, except for something odd inside the drawer...

Ning Xiusu's hands were covered in thick dust, and he discovered some writing on the drawer of the bookcase. He wiped away the dust with his knuckles and saw that there were also strange star patterns drawn on it.

It must have been left unattended for a long time, and the dust has accumulated thickly, covering the pattern. If you don't look carefully, it will be difficult to detect.

Ning Xiusu looked towards the center of the hall. There was a hollow copper sphere, roughly several feet in size, with exquisite carvings on its surface. The most obvious carvings were the twenty-eight constellations and the twelve zodiac signs.

The bookcases on both sides of the hall contain some strange star maps.

Ning Xiusu noticed some clues.

The bookcase on the left corresponds to the twenty-eight constellations carved on the sphere, while the bookcase on the right corresponds to the twelve zodiac constellations carved on the sphere.

Since the bookcases on both sides correspond to the spheres...

Aries in the zodiac roughly corresponds to Kui and Lou in the twenty-eight mansions, Taurus roughly corresponds to Wei and Mao, Gemini roughly corresponds to Bi and Zi...

So those strange star maps are the stars superimposed on each other.

Ning Xiusu stood there with a sullen expression, frowning in thought. If he followed the corresponding rules, could he shed some light on this place?

He took a deep breath and planned to open the drawer according to the pattern.

The little girl on Hua Jianbai's side stopped crying and was talking to herself with Grasshopper. He then turned around to see what Ning Xiusu was doing.

You don't know until you see it, and once you see it, you almost want to give him an award! Hua Jianbai saw him working like a tiger, and all the drawers of the bookcases on both sides were opened.

"Wow, villain, did you figure it out?"

Ning Xiusu dusted off his hands and shook his head: "Not really, I just found a little pattern."

Hua Jianbai limped over to join in the fun and saw that the open drawers were empty.

He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "What is this? There is not even a hair. What a joke..."

"Hiss...you just want to eat what's ready?"

Ning Xiusu picked up a key in his hand, his voice slightly cold and lazy as always.

Hua Jianbai raised his eyes and happened to meet a pair of warm and beautiful eyes as black as jade. He suddenly felt a little embarrassed and spread his hands awkwardly.

"You can't say that. After all, I'm a wounded soldier. I've done all the damage. Now you have to take care of me."

Ning Xiusu then lowered his head slightly, his eyes falling on the lame leg that seemed a little awkward. Without saying a word, he pulled him to sit on the stone steps next to the bookcase.

"What are you doing!"

Hua Jianbai noticed that he was grabbing her ankle, her ears turned red, and she subconsciously shrank back.

"I don't know how long you'll be stuck. Are you sure you don't want me to help you check?"

The gentle tone of voice was like a spring breeze blowing across my heart.

Hua Jianbai suddenly felt his feet no longer hurt, and stars flashed in his apricot kernel eyes.

"It's just a scratch, nothing serious."

Ning Xiusu simply extended his finger, carefully touched the swollen area, and checked the injury on his calf. Fortunately, his muscles and bones were not injured.

"Your words don't count. Don't be afraid to seek medical treatment."

As he spoke, Ning Xiusu suddenly said, "Wait a moment."

Hanamiba saw that he had found a can of sake from somewhere and pulled up the hem of his clothes. He skillfully disinfected and cleaned the wound, then bandaged it with clean cloth.

"The conditions are limited, we have to go out and find some medicine quickly."

Ning Xiusu had already bandaged him. As he spoke, he looked up and happened to see Hua Jianbai pursing her lips slightly and blinking her eyelashes, as if she was about to cry again.

He was a little helpless, "If it really hurts, then cry if you want to."

"It's not painful."

Hua Jianbai's eyes, hidden beneath his pale brows, were like clear spring water, filled with mist. "I just miss my family..."

"..."

Ning Xiusu knew he was worried, so he said, "Pu Boyu is at the mine. Once we get out, we'll go find him."

Hua Jianbai nodded, staring at him and forgetting to look away.

"whee……"

Liuliu appeared behind the two of them at some point, pulled out the drawer, held it up and looked up, then loosened her grip and put it directly on her head. This time, she couldn't see the road and reached out to grab things erratically.

"Oh my... wait for the destined person to step in... what..."

She fell to the ground, her head tilted, and she started crying again.

Hanamibai's head really hurt. It felt like the summer vacation many years ago when he was taking care of his nephew alone at home.

He suddenly began to feel even more worried. Now he couldn't use the system, and he didn't know what had happened to this kid...

Ning Xiusu took the drawer off Liuliu's head, squatted down and said:

"Little girl, what were you mumbling just now?"

Liuliu stopped crying and pointed at the drawer:

"There are words in it, bright."

Ning Xiusu's heart trembled, and he quickly picked up the pearls and jade that were aimed at the sky above the hall. A faint glow shone through the drawer, and there were indeed some hollow words.

He pulled out another drawer and looked at it again. There were a few words in each drawer, and they were complete only when put together.

It only said: The owner of this place is dead, so it has been abandoned for many years. Waiting for someone to step into this place and solve the mystery of the stars, then the box will be opened, etc...

box?

Ning Xiusu was just wondering where the box was when he saw Liuliu actually coming over with a small gilded box.

"Big villain, why do I feel that the current situation is somewhat similar to that in the Three Flowers Temple..."

"It's quite similar."

Ning Xiusu inserted the key into the lock of the box. When he opened it, he saw a crescent-shaped pendant inside, with a fine luster like moonlight.

Hanami Hakuya took it and looked at it carefully, with a look of amazement on his face.

"Oh my, this is so beautiful!"

"Well, brother... this is called a medium."

"What medium?"

“The medium is a wonderland. Without it, it will self-destruct and disappear.”

This remark awakened Ning Xiusu, who said, "No wonder the Three Flower Temple collapsed last time."

"But that's not right. Wonderland is a space where time stands still. Only lawful people can enter. How could this little girl get in if she's not a time traveler?"

Liuliu didn't quite understand what Hanamibai was saying, and she tilted her head and laughed.
