Traveling Through the Grave Robbers' Chronicles: Starting from Meeting You

Chapter 239 Actually... There are things that taste better than candied haws...

Zhang Rishan didn't react at all, he didn't even look at her. He stood at the door like a wooden stake, silent and motionless.

"Hanyan, are you really going to let Xiaohua and I go to Siguniang Mountain to get the password? What if I...I make a mistake?"

Wu Xie looked at Xie Yuchen who was standing opposite him and asked uncertainly.

"I made a mistake... The password is wrong. The defense mechanism of the Zhang Family Ancient Building will automatically activate. Anyone of us who enters the ancient building will die inside... So, Wu Xie, you must be careful!"

Zhang Hanyan pulled Zhang Qiling to his feet and said, "Brother, let's find a place to stay and then go for a walk outside."

"it is good."

Zhang Qiling took her hand and led her out.

"Sister, it will take some time for Mrs. Huo to prepare things. How about you all come and live in my house? I'll keep your previous room for you."

Xie Yuchen stood in front of Zhang Hanyan and Zhang Qiling, looking at her expectantly.

"Okay, I'll go check out how much money I made from the shares I bought that year."

After Zhang Hanyan finished speaking, she seemed to suddenly remember something and turned to look at Zhang Rishan.

"Little adjutant, do you want me to compensate you for the loss of the Crescent Hotel today? If necessary, I can..."

"No, it's just a small amount of money, there's no need to bother the Saint to spend money."

Zhang Rishan lowered his head slightly, with a faint smile in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows, and his every word and action revealed that he was extremely cautious.

"Well, this is something you didn't want. I was going to compensate you with a box of night-shining pearls. Let's go, little brother."

Zhang Hanyan put her arm around Zhang Qiling and walked out of the meeting room with a beautiful smile.

After they left, Wu Xie, Fatty and Jie Yuchen all looked at Zhang Rishan at the same time. They all saw a trace of pain and regret on his face.

"Come on, Wu Xie. I'll take you to my house."

"Here we go, Fatty, hurry up."

"Okay! Let's go!"

After leaving the Crescent Hotel, they took Xie Yuchen's car to Xie's house and stayed there under Xie Yuchen's arrangement.

While waiting for Huo Xiangu, Fatty took them to visit the streets of Beijing and check out famous attractions and delicacies.

"Fatty, you are such a big man, why are you buying candied haws to eat?"

Wu Xie looked at Fatty with disdain as he struggled to squeeze out of the crowd. He held the candied haws in his hand high up, afraid that it would be knocked off by passers-by.

The fat man shook his head disapprovingly. "What do you mean by naive? You guys finally came to Beijing, so of course you want to try everything. Come on, one skewer each."

As he spoke, he handed a string of candied haws to each of Zhang Hanyan, Zhang Qiling and Wu Xie.

In the setting sun, the thin sugar coating on the candied haws looks like ice crystals, shining with alluring light.

"Try it! This store's candied haws are very famous. Many people come to buy them. I waited in line for a long time before I could buy one."

Wu Xie took a bite doubtfully. The red pitted hawthorn was covered with crystal sugar coating, and sesame seeds were evenly sprinkled on it.

The sweet sugar coating neutralizes the sourness of hawthorn, and the mellow sesame aroma fills your mouth.

"Well, it's really good. It's good, Fatty. You didn't cheat me this time."

"That's right. I'm not going to cheat anyone, Fatty. You're so naive, don't you? Keep going forward. There are still many delicious foods ahead."

Zhang Hanyan and Zhang Qiling walked hand in hand behind them. She ate the candied haws in her hand in small bites, and he silently watched her every move.

"Brother, why don't you eat it? Don't you like it?"

She looked at the still intact candied haws in his hand. The sun was too hot, and the sugar coating on the hawthorns had melted a little.

Zhang Qiling reached out to wipe the sugar coating and sesame seeds from the corners of her lips and spoke softly.

"If you like it, I'll keep it for you."

"No, just buy some after you finish eating."

No matter what she said, he had no intention of eating the candied haws.

Zhang Hanyan stopped and looked around. All the girls passing by were looking at Zhang Qiling, their gazes lingering on his face and body for a long time.

In the crowd, she stood face to face with him, curling her lips in a smile that contained a hint of cunning and ill intent, leaving him puzzled.

She put the candied haws she had eaten close to his lips and said, "Then you can eat this one of mine, it's very sweet."

Zhang Qiling looked into her smiling eyes, leaned forward slightly, opened his thin lips, and took a bite of the candied haws.

The outer layer of sugar coating was bitten through, and the sour hawthorn juice overflowed in the mouth, intertwining with the sweetness of the sugar coating.

"Well, it's delicious."

The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and the crystal sugar coating was stained on his lips, revealing a soft luster, like a rare flower blooming in the sky.

Zhang Hanyan raised her eyes, was stunned for a moment, and said in a low voice.

"Brother, actually... there are things that are more delicious than candied haws..."

"what?"

She suddenly stood on tiptoe and pecked his slightly cool lips. The moment their lips touched, his eyes slightly opened, the ice and snow between his brows melted, and his mind suddenly blossomed like thousands of fireworks.

It was a fleeting kiss, and before he could react, she had already walked away with a smile.

"Brother, come quickly, Wu Xie and Fatty have gone far away."

She ran for a distance, turned around and looked back. On her bright face, a smile gradually spread from the corners of her eyes to the tips of her eyebrows.

"okay......"

His eyes curved, and the light in his eyes was as bright as clear water, rippling with star-like light. He slightly curled his thin pink lips and caught up with her in front of him. He took her hand, smiled at each other, and understood each other tacitly.

Huo Xiangu gathered personnel and equipment very quickly, and prepared everything in just half a month, which was enough to prove her eagerness.

They were divided into two teams. Xiangu Huo took Zhang Qiling, Zhang Hanyan, Fatty, Huo Xiuxiu and the Huo family's servants to Banai, Guangxi.

Wu Xie and Jie Yuchen, accompanied by Hei Xia Zi, went to Siguniang Mountain, cracked the Thousand Mile Lock, and obtained the password to enter the Zhang family's ancient building.

Before leaving, Zhang Hanyan told Wu Xie and Jie Yuchen the method to crack the Thousand Mile Lock.

In order to prevent any accidents, she also drew a very detailed blueprint for them.

The team heading to Banai, Guangxi set off first. Wu Xie and Jie Yuchen stood at the gate of Jie's house to see off Zhang Qiling, Zhang Hanyan and Fatty.

The car windows rolled down, and the people inside and outside the car waved goodbye. At this time, they didn't know what kind of difficulties and hardships they would encounter after this separation.

Two days later, Wu Xie and Jie Yuchen set out for Mount Siguniang.

As soon as they arrived at the herdsmen's settlement around Mount Siguniang, they heard a noise coming from afar. Among them, there was a voice that they were all familiar with.
