C79 (2/2)
Niuniu seemed to have thought of something and her eyes gradually became covered with fear. Her body also began to tremble.
Mo Ranran sighed helplessly, and pulled Niu Niu into his arms, ”If you don't want to remember, then don't. It's okay, be good, don't be afraid.”
It was indeed a little difficult for a little girl to remember such things.
After a long time, Niu Niu finally quietened down in Mo Ranran's arms. Just as she was about to give up, Niu Niu spoke up, ”That day, those people suddenly broke into the village, they forced Daddy and Uncle and Aunt to get together. I played at Grandma's place, and Grandma hid me away, telling me not to come out. After killing them, they went through my elder's house and left without finding anything. I hid in there for a long time before coming out. After I came out, I was afraid that they would come back, so … ”I'll hide in the cave.”
Niuniu was not in a good mood, and her broken voice was filled with fear.
Mo Ranran spent some time to soothe Niu Niu's emotions. After coaxing her to sleep, he walked out of the camp and went to Mo Feiye's tent, and told her the news he got from her.
”What are those people looking for? To find that thing, they actually massacred the entire village!” Mo Ranran's voice was filled with anger. What exactly was in this old woman's hands that was worth them painstakingly trying to obtain.
Big hands with distinct joints slowly lifted up, taking down the Silver Hairpin above Mo Ranran's head. With a low and deep voice, he said, ”This is what they are looking for.”
Mo Ranran followed his gaze and looked at the Silver Hairpin, taking it from Mo Feiye's hands. After checking it a few times, he did not find anything wrong and returned it to Mo Feiye, ”Isn't it just a normal Silver Hairpin?”
Mo Feiye's deep and black pupils slightly congealed, and his fingers followed the Silver Hairpin's pattern to find a slightly protruding spot. He forcefully pressed it and with a turn of his body, the hairpin and the hairpin separated.
The center of the hairpin was hollow, and was stuffed with an extremely small slip of paper. Mo Feiye took out the slip of paper and unfolded it.
”There's actually a map in here …” Mo Ranran looked at the piece of paper in shock, his eyes filled with disbelief.
The Silver Hairpin that she had been wearing for such a long time was actually hiding a hidden secret, there was a map …
”More accurately speaking, it is a quarter of the map.” Mo Feiye glanced at the map on the paper, his voice carrying a tinge of coldness.
”A quarter?” A hint of doubt flashed past Mo Ranran's eyes.
”Ranran doesn't recognize the pattern on the hairpin?” Mo Feiye raised his eyes, and looked at Mo Ranran with eyes as deep as ink.
Mo Ranran shook her head, she really did not know him.
Hearing that, Mo Feiye put down the map in his hands, stood up and slowly squatted beside Mo Ranran's feet, his long fingers grabbing onto Mo Ranran's ankles.
The sensation coming from his ankle caused Mo Ranran to unconsciously shrink his leg, but the foot was firmly held in Mo Feiye's hand and he was unable to retract it.
Mo Feiye opened up the corner of Mo Ranran's pants, revealing the blood jade at her ankles. After taking it off, she placed it along with the hairpin in Mo Ranran's hands, ”Look carefully at the patterns on these two.”
”Why are these patterns so similar …” Mo Ranran's pupils shrank. The patterns on the hairpin seemed to have shrunk many times compared to the patterns on the blood jade, if one did not look carefully, he would not even be able to notice it.
Something flashed past Mo Ranran's mind.
”This can't be the map to the treasure trove, right …” Mo Ranran looked at the object in his hand, his head buzzing.
”Yes.” Mo Feiye replied indifferently.
He placed all of this money into his own tomb. Before he died, he divided the tomb map into four pieces, and handed the tomb key along with the tomb map to his five trusted aides, telling them to take the map and key out of the Mu Kingdom, and hide in their names for the rest of their lives. ” Mo Feiye paused for a moment before continuing, ”After a few decades, one of them became greedy, and wanted to gather all the things and open the tomb to take possession of the money. Once the news spread, everyone would search for the treasure.”
Mo Ranran touched the blood jade in his hand, his eyes flashing, but he did not say anything.
Mo Feiye glanced at the map, and leisurely said: ”Elder should be one of them, this map is one of them, and that is what those people are looking for.”
”But, why would grandpa give you this map?” Mo Feiye slowly looked at Mo Ranran, he did not wish for Ranran to be involved in this matter.
”She probably saw the blood jade at my feet.” Mo Ranran thought for a bit. She remembered that when her grandma saw the blood jade on her feet, she felt that something was wrong. However, at that time, she only wanted to cover the blood jade so she didn't think too much about it.
Perhaps the granny saw the blood jade and treated her as someone else …
Mo Feiye's pupils slightly contracted. Looks like those people came here for the map, so with this information, it wouldn't be difficult to find that group of people.
Mo Feiye took the hairpin from Mo Ranran and placed it into Mo Ranran's hands, ”Put this hairpin back to me, I will have someone to create a fake map for you.
”Can I not?” Mo Ranran glanced at the map. The man was innocent, she knew the principle that possession of a treasure was a crime.
She wasn't lacking in money, so she wasn't interested in treasures and things like that. If he were to let her have it, she wouldn't be able to keep it …
After Mo Feiye heard this, the corner of his mouth raised into a beautiful arc. Other people were fighting over it, but his little girl actually didn't want it.
