"Qin Chuan, do you think that man was robbed or murdered?" Su Qiqi sat on the threshold holding her knees, looking at the dead grass swaying in the wind by the fence not far away, and asked casually.
Qin Chuan blinked and pretended to be serious: "I think the possibility of a vendetta is higher... Look, he is dressed in ordinary clothes, and he doesn't look like he has anything valuable... Probably not There are some thieves who are so ignorant that they would rob him of his wealth..."
After that, Qin Chuan stared thoughtfully at the old locust tree where the injured person was found for a while, then pulled Su Qiqi's arm and said, "Su'er, let's go over and take a look..."
Su Qiqi nodded and followed Qin Chuan to the old locust tree. The two of them walked around the thick trunk and stepped on the muddy ground under the tree.
"Huh? The soil here seems to be softer..." Su Qiqi suddenly shouted in surprise, and then called Qin Chuan over.
I saw that there was a place under the tree where the soil was obviously looser. Different from the one next to it, it seemed that someone had dug it up and then filled it in again.
"Is there any treasure underneath?" Qin Chuan murmured to himself curiously.
"Hey, you're thinking too much..." Su Qiqi sneered, squatted down, and tried to dig up the soil with her hands.
Qin Chuan also dug the soil with his bare hands. The two dug for a while and saw a wooden box exposed in the soil.
The two were surprised and happy, and continued to dig the soil with their hands. However, the soil below was a little dry and hard, and their fingers felt painful after digging for a while.
Qin Chuan asked Su Qiqi to wait where he was. He went back to the old fisherman's house and took out a shovel and a hoe. The two of them continued digging and shoveling the soil.
After about a cup of tea, the two finally took out the wooden box. This is a wooden box made of golden nanmu. There is a small lock on it and some incomprehensible runes are engraved on it.
Su Qiqi and Qin Chuan looked at each other, placed the wooden box on the ground, and smashed it a few times with a shovel.
The wooden box cracked, and inside was a green bead wrapped in a yellow silk cloth.
Su Qiqi and Qin Chuan were both stunned.
"What is this? Is there any special use for this bead? Why bother to bury it like this..." Qin Chuan picked up the bead, looked at it in the palm of his hand, and muttered.
Su Qiqi took the bead, looked at the light for a while, and said in surprise: "Qin Chuan, look, there is liquid inside, like water ripples..."
Qin Chuan hurriedly came over, stared at it carefully for a while, and said incredulously: "Really! Could it be some priceless antique... Could it be carried by the injured person? No wonder he is being chased. Kill..." Qin Chuan reasoned to himself.
Su Qiqi smiled, patted Qin Chuan's shoulder and said: "Stop nagging, let's go back and tell everyone, maybe some of the bodyguard brothers will recognize this bead... As long as you know the origin of this bead, you can tell me Maybe we can know the identity of the injured person..."
Qin Chuan nodded, and the two of them put away the beads, took hoes and shovels, and returned to the house together.
In the house, the old fisherman and his wife were cooking on the fire, and the two bodyguards were chopping firewood in the yard. Su Qiqi and Qin Chuan went over to say hello to them and whispered about the discovery of the mysterious beads.
The two bodyguards all looked surprised after hearing this. They were both very surprised when they saw the green beads in Su Qiqi's hand and the strange runes on the wooden box.
"Do you recognize these beads and runes?" Su Qiqi asked expectantly.
The two bodyguards shook their heads and said: "This is the first time we have seen beads like this." One of the bodyguards added: "I have seen such runes on the wall of the dungeon in Holy Spring Mountain... "
"Oh? Tell me..." Su Qiqi looked at the attentive escort with interest.
He smiled shyly and said: "When we followed the head escort of Nangong to meet the master of Lingyue Cave, we passed by a wall engraved with pictures of flying birds, and there were some such runes on it..."
"Oh. What do these runes represent?" Su Qiqi murmured to herself. Then he looked at Qin Chuan and the two bodyguards.
"It's not difficult to unlock the secret of this rune. When the injured person wakes up, we can ask him directly..." Qin Chuan thought for a while and looked back in the direction of the kitchen house.
In the kitchen room, the injured person was still unconscious, but his breathing was much calmer.
Su Qiqi and Qin Chuan waited nearby for about an hour before the injured finally woke up.
He opened his confused eyes, looked at Su Qiqi and Qin Chuan blankly, and asked in a voice as thin as a mosquito, "Where is this?"
Qin Chuan responded first: "Brother, you're finally awake... Don't worry, it's safe here. We are the bodyguards of the Weiyuan Escort Bureau. What do you call us?"
Qin Chuan went straight to the point and announced his identity. The injured man seemed to relax a little, smiled bitterly, and said, "I am an escort from the Changli Escort Bureau. I encountered robbers on the road and all the other escorts were killed... I am the only one." People escaped..."
"Oh, what about the escorts you escorted? Have they been lost too?" Su Qiqi asked with concern after hearing this.
The injured man nodded, shook his head, and said: "There is an important dart still there..." After saying that, he paused and seemed to hesitate for a while, then continued: "I buried it before I passed out. stand up……"
"But this bead?" Qin Chuan took out the green bead with water ripples and handed it to the injured person.
The injured person looked at it intently, nodded with a complex expression and said, "Yes, it's the Nine Yin Marrow Cleansing Beads..."
"Nine Yin Marrow Cleansing Pearl... From the name, its owner's identity should be unusual, right?" Qin Chuan asked curiously.
The injured man nodded and said, "The escort is the old lady of Muyun Villa..."
"Oh, doesn't she have many masters under her? Why does she still need an escort to escort this bead?" Qin Chuan asked with some confusion.
After listening to Qin Chuan's words, the injured person sighed: "Young master, you don't know. Muyun Villa is not what it used to be. Ever since the theft of Qi Hongxiang occurred in the Villa, it has been stolen one after another... It is said that many people in the world are targeting it. The treasures hidden in her family... The old lady is old and has no children. She only has a rich man who is married to the second son of the leader of the Eagle Cult. Therefore, we entrusted our escort agency to deliver the treasures of the town to his daughter and son-in-law. Home...unexpectedly, I encountered a robber on the way and almost lost my treasure..."
When Su Qiqi and Qin Chuan heard this, they couldn't help but sigh. Then he asked: "The Eagle Cult? Are they the descendants of the old master of the Divine Infant Iron Palm?"
The injured person nodded and said, "Yes, the daughter of the Li family is now the new headmaster's wife of the Eagle Cult..."
Su Qiqi and Qin Chuan were both shocked, and at the same time they were glad that they returned Qi Hongxiang in time, otherwise they would be in trouble in the future.
"By the way, what's the use of this bead?" Qin Chuan was still curious about the beads and couldn't help but interjected.
The injured man laughed dryly and said: "This Nine Yin Marrow Cleansing Bead can cure all kinds of strange poisons..."
"Can any poison be cured?" Qin Chuan's eyes suddenly lit up.
Su Qiqi also became a little excited and asked eagerly: "I would like to ask if I can borrow this bead from my little girl. My brother was harmed a few days ago and was poisoned by a strange poison. He still has recurring attacks..."
The injured man was silent for a moment after hearing this, and then he cupped his hands and said: "My benefactor, you're welcome. Since my benefactor is in urgent need, I'll lend it to you first... Saving one life is better than building a seven-level pagoda..."
When Su Qiqi and Qin Chuan heard this, they hurriedly bowed their hands and thanked him, and then they chatted with the injured for a while.
After a few days, the wound on the injured person's abdomen was basically healed. Su Qiqi invited him to go with him. After delivering the silver escort to Tiansheng Bank, they went to Weiyuan Escort Bureau to rescue the person.
In the Weiyuan Escort Bureau, Nangong Yu and Nangong Yue took medicated baths with Jiuyin Marrow Cleansing Beads for seven days and seven nights. After seven days and seven nights, they finally completely eliminated the remaining poison in their bodies and fully recovered.
In order to repay the life-saving grace of the bodyguard of Changli Escort Bureau, Su Qiqi and Qin Chuan personally accompanied the only surviving bodyguard to deliver the Nine Yin Marrow Cleansing Pearl to the home of Mrs. Li's daughter and son-in-law.
