I want to protect my family, but you force me to take the lead

"Auntie Mute?"

Qin Xiaohua looked at Qin Xiaoxiao in confusion, then nodded and said, "Yes, they look alike."

"Tie them both and their families up and interrogate them." Qin Nuan pointed at the two men who had spoken just now.

As soon as Qin Nuan finished speaking, not only Lan Qi and his brother moved, but also the others who were standing with the two families.

They were not stupid and had already realized that the two men were lying.

As for why, haha, you have to ask carefully.

They were sent here, which was almost like being abandoned.

Since those people are unkind, don't blame them for being unjust.

They have families and although they want to live a good life, they are also strong men when it comes to the interests of the country and the nation.

They came here because they heard about the family crisis. The family wanted them to leave immediately, so they left the place where they were born and raised in tears and came here.

But only today did they understand that all of this was a game, and they were the pawns in this game.

I have unknowingly become an accomplice of a traitor. How can I swallow this?

"What are you going to do?"

"Let me go, let me go."

"Let us go, we didn't hurt anyone, why are you tying us up?"

"I'm going to sue you..."

Watching these people struggling, Lan Feng raised his eyelids and said coldly: "Lan Qi, shut their mouths. Lan Ning, go to their homes and take a look."

"okay."

Seeing that there was nothing for her to do, Qin Nuan asked Qin Xiaohua to stay in the village to keep an eye on the situation while she went into the mountains alone.

After entering the mountain, Qin Nuan completely let herself go.

Sometimes he was playing with pheasants, sometimes with hares, and he was having a lot of fun.

Looking at the pheasants and rabbits put into the backpack, the system couldn't help but say: [Host, aren't you curious about why those people were placed here? ]

Tongzi, you must remember this sentence: curiosity kills the cat.

I have achieved the purpose of coming here. Now I want to see what good medicinal herbs and prey there are in this mountain.

The system talked earnestly for half an hour, but Qin Nuan refused to listen and was either collecting herbs or hunting.

Bang!

After knocking down a wild boar with another punch, Qin Nuan exhaled, "That's enough. If we don't get down the mountain, Third Brother will be worried."

As soon as he finished speaking, he waved his hand, put the wild boar into the backpack, and walked down the mountain carrying a few pheasants.

After Qin Xiaohua and Lanweidie looked towards the courtyard gate countless times, Qin Nuan's small figure appeared in their sight.

"I'm back, my sister is back."

Qin Xiaohua ran over as she spoke, took the pheasant from her hand and whispered, "Sister, those people have confessed."

"Well, leave it to Madam Lan. We should go back."

"Okay. When do we leave?"

"We'll be leaving soon. Third brother, give two of these pheasants to Xiaoxiao's family, and the rest to the Lan family."

"Okay. I'll go right away."

"Ah."

Qin Xiaohua left with the pheasant in her hand, while Qin Nuan entered the Lan family's home and looked at Lan Tailedie walking towards her. "Sister Lan, is the old lady done with her work now?"

"Grandma is at my second uncle's house. If Nuannuan needs help, I'll go find her."

"That's fine. My third brother and I are planning to go back. You should just stay at home and spend time with your family."

"Are we going back now?" Hearing that Qin Nuan was leaving, Blue-tailed Butterfly said reluctantly.

"It's time to go back."

"Child, it's getting late today. Let's go tomorrow." The person who spoke was none other than Lan Feng, the old lady of the Lan family who came in with a cane.

"Madam, we brothers and sisters are really eager to return home. We will come to bother you another day."

"Okay, wait for grandma for a while." Seeing that Qin Nuan insisted on leaving, Lan Feng didn't know what to say. She said this and hurried back to the house.

When he came out again, he was carrying two packages in his hands, "Die girl, go get a backpack."

"Hey, good."

"Madam, you..."

"Children, these are all made by us, take some and try them. Grandma will ask Die to bring some to you some other day.

There are some dried meat and cakes in this, you can eat them if you are hungry on the road. Did you bring any water?"

Looking at the kind old lady, Qin Nuan felt warm in her heart, "I brought a kettle, don't worry, old lady."

"Madam, let Sister Lan stew these pheasants for you. We will come to see you again when we have time." Qin Xiaohua, who had been standing aside without saying a word, finally got the chance to speak. He quickly stuffed the tied pheasant in his hand into Lanweidie's hand, and then said with a grin.

"Okay, okay, you guys have to remember this."

"Yeah, I can't forget it."

Qin Xiaohua, carrying a backpack, waved to Qin Nuantong and then walked towards the village entrance...

After leaving the village, Qin Nuan took her third brother around a corner until the village was out of sight, and then the two of them ran quickly...

"Sister, what's wrong?"

"Third brother, we have to go to the mountain we went to yesterday again."

Hearing this, Qin Xiaohua's mind quickly turned, and then he asked seriously: "Are you taking risks again?"

"No. I just gathered some herbs and hunted some game."

"Well, remember not to take risks alone." Qin Xiaohua looked around and quickly ran towards the target...

After half an hour.

The brother and sister climbed up the mountain from the other side.

While taking a break and drinking some water, Qin Nuan said to herself: Tongzi, start the scan.

[Ok, host. 】

Half a minute later.

[Host, there is a hidden cave one thousand meters to the right, with many boxes inside.]

OK. Continue scanning.

"Third brother, let's go this way."

"Okay. I'll go ahead."

After a while, the brother and sister arrived at the cave that the system mentioned.

After pulling aside the thick vines, a hole large enough for one person to enter appeared in front of the two.

Cautious Qin Xiaohua picked up two stones and threw them in.

After listening carefully, I found nothing and walked in.

It gets wider and wider as you go.

It gets brighter and brighter.

Suddenly, Qin Xiaohua stopped and whispered, "Sister, look there."

Although she had heard the system describe the situation inside, Qin Nuan couldn't help but frown when she saw that this area, which was almost as big as a room, was piled with wooden boxes. "Third brother, we need to open the boxes and take a look. Be careful."

"know."

As he spoke, Qin Xiaohua used a dagger to open the first box, and found that there were no real gold or silver inside, but bronze statues of the zodiac.

The two were shocked.

"Third brother, this is!"

"Sister, there are faint indentations on it. Someone must have moved it. Or, there are more than just these boxes in here."

Without having time to think about it, Qin Nuan took a deep breath and opened the second box, which was still a bronze zodiac statue!

The third one is a set of phoenix coronet and bridal robe, with flowing gold threads and jade still shining.

hiss!

Qin Nuan took a breath and whispered, "Third brother, these things should be national treasures, how come they are here?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Nuan suddenly thought of something, and then said: "This can't be..."
