Tomb robber: Tuantuan, I am a national treasure!

The sound made by the little snake interrupted Jinnian. Jinnian suddenly came to his senses and subconsciously stepped back.

But he forgot that he was sitting on a stool and fell to the ground.

"Hey!"

Jinnian supported his aching butt with one hand and held onto the table with the other, and climbed up from the ground.

Before I could figure out what was going on, I saw the jade pendant in the box fell out at some point.

Did he touch the jade pendant just now?

The little snake circled around the jade pendant, as if thinking about how to bite it. When Jinnian saw the jade pendant, he was not bewitched as before. He thought about telling his brother what happened later, but now he had to put the thing back quickly before it got damaged.

Jinnian had just stood up when he was caught off guard by a flesh-colored creature that pounced towards him.

"!"

He didn't know what it was and didn't dare to touch it, so he quickly dodged to the side.

When he stood up with great difficulty, he felt a sharp pain in the palm of his hand.

Jinnian lifted it up and saw that the flesh-colored, snake-like thing was stuck to his hand.

A piercing pain came from the palm of his hand. Soon, Jinnian's fair skin was bitten, and blue blood beads came out. The flesh-colored little insect, like a leech, greedily sucked his blood.

Jinnian wanted to get it down, but he felt dizzy and the bite hurt so much that everything in front of his eyes went white.

All the strength in his body seemed to disappear along with the loss of blood, and Jinnian fell to the ground, unable to bear it.

The rose-like clothes were stained with black, and Jinnian's long white hair fell on the ground like a waterfall.

Outside the house, the sky was covered with dark clouds, which made people feel breathless and heavy in their hearts.

His vision alternated between light and dark. Before it turned into darkness, Jinnian tilted his head and saw a small emerald green snake swooping down and biting the insect in his hand.

..............

“Boom, boom, boom…”

"Young Master?"

"It's time to eat!"

"Today we have boiled lotus roots and your favorite bamboo shoots. Cui Yu Xuan in the south said you haven't been there for a long time, so they sent someone to give you their newly made cakes, hoping that you will come more often!"

Uncle Fu knocked on Jinnian's door. It was not surprising that he did not open the door immediately. After all, the young master did not like rainy days.

The rain has subsided now, but there is still a drizzle outside. Uncle Fu thought about it and decided to let the young master move to this room to eat.

When hearing that someone bought some pastries or something, Jinnian always reacts the fastest. He says that they have to eat even on rainy days. Uncle Fu was wondering why he came out so late this time.

Could it be that he was sleeping? Second Master had always been very kind to the young master and didn't ask him to do anything. He could sleep if he wanted.

But out of concern, Uncle Fu continued to knock on the door. It was not good to sleep like this all the time. The young master should exercise.

"Young Master?"

"Young Master!"

After calling Jinnian three or four times, there was no response, and Uncle Fu sensed something was wrong.

He pushed the door, ready to go in and take a look, but it wouldn't open.

"Young Master! Young Master!"

Uncle Fu felt something was wrong and quickly called for someone to open the door.

After a few servants opened the door, Uncle Fu went in and saw Jinnian lying on the ground and a strange box on the table. He looked closely and saw a broken jade pendant next to it.

Uncle Fu quickly asked someone to help the young master up. There was a dried wound on his hand. As soon as Uncle Fu saw the blue liquid on it, he knew it was not simple, so he quickly asked someone to call the second master back.

The little snake was dying on the ground. People were coming and going, and no one noticed it. Its originally green body had become dull, as if it had faded.

It rolled up the little bug, which had turned into a shriveled human skin, and quietly hid under Jinnian's bed. It rolled up the motionless bug, coiled up its body, and shrank up.

"Don't touch! Don't touch!"

"No one is allowed to move!"

"You, and you, notify everyone to seal off the Red Mansion! No one is allowed to leave without my permission!"

"It's you, hurry up, go get someone, go find the Second Master!"

Uncle Fu quickly sealed off the entire Hong Mansion. Right under his nose, the young master was ambushed by someone, and he had to find out what happened.

He looked at Jinnian lying on the bed with heartache. His face was pale, without a trace of blood. He had never seen him like this except when the young master first came.

..................

Er Yuehong is backstage. They only rehearsed one play today and have already finished singing it.

It suddenly started raining outside the window, and it was so heavy that before I could react, it was so heavy that I couldn't go out.

Er Yuehong was wiping his headgear in his hands. The sound of rain was so loud that his brows furrowed. He was a little worried about how Jinnian was doing in the mansion.

The remaining plays were rescheduled, and the audience went back in groups of three or four. The rest of the people saw that it was raining so hard, so they simply decided not to leave and gathered together to chat.

Er Yuehong's heart suddenly skipped a beat. He frowned and covered his chest with his hands. The bad feeling in his heart became stronger and stronger.

He quickly called for help.

"Second Master, what's wrong?"

"Give the order, I want to go back home."

The servant looked at Er Yuehong awkwardly and pointed at the heavy rain outside.

"Second Master............"

The servant wanted to remind him, but someone from the Hong Mansion came outside.

"Second Master!"

The man rushed and bumped into the servant: "Second Master!"

"What are you yelling for? What do you want me to do?"

The man came in breathlessly, and spoke with a strong dose of medicine.

"Young Master... Huhuhu, something's happened to the Young Master!"

"What did you say?!"

Er Yuehong stood up suddenly, the headpiece in her hand fell to the ground, and the glass beads scattered all over the floor.

"Let's go! Go back home immediately!"

Er Yuehong was in the car. When he heard that Jinnian had an accident, his heart ached even more, as if a needle was pricking him, stinging him again and again.

"What's going on? Who asked you to come?"

The man had rushed all the way here and almost fainted. Now he was sitting in this fast-moving car, feeling even more dizzy. When he heard Er Yuehong's question, he perked up and answered.

"Uncle Fu asked me to come. The young master fainted today. Uncle Fu sealed the house and no one is allowed to come out."

Er Yuehong thought to himself, if it was just a normal fainting, Uncle Fu would not have sealed off the entire Hong Mansion, so something must have happened to Jinnian.

The mansion was sealed, which meant that outsiders must have come. Uncle Fu must have discovered something, which is why he asked him to go back so urgently.

...............

At the same time, Zhang Qishan's cronies who stayed outside the Hong Mansion hurried to report as soon as they saw that the mansion was sealed.

"Seal the mansion?"

Qi Tiezui smacked his lips. Something must have happened in the Hong Mansion, otherwise why would such a big fuss be made? If it wasn't handled properly, there would definitely be some gossip.

Zhang Qishan nodded: "Do you know the reason?"

"I don't know. It was sealed before I could ask clearly. No one is allowed to enter or leave. There are people guarding the gate. But I ran into a group of people going to the Pear Garden. They must be going to call the Second Master."

"Okay, let's get down."

Zhang Qishan was flipping through the documents in his hand, not in a hurry. He planned to wait until things calmed down before taking a look.

"Master Buddha, you are not in a hurry?"

Qi Tiezui crossed his legs and took a sip of hot tea, but put it down just as he touched it, causing his lips to hurt due to the burn.

Zhang Qishan flipped the pages slowly, the papers making a rustling sound, he read very quickly.

"Why am I in a hurry?"

Qi Tiezui got excited: "Aren't you afraid that something might happen to Xiao Jinnian?"

Zhang Qishan's hand paused, and the thick document fell with a "pop" sound. The airflow blew the papers underneath up and went straight towards Qi Tiezui.

"Ouch! Lord Buddha!"

"I'm just saying this, I'm just kidding. I don't want anything to happen to the young master."

Zhang Qishan stretched out his hand and pointed directly at Qi Tiezui's face.

"That's not allowed to be said."

Qi Tiezui covered his mouth and said, "Okay, okay, I'll shut up."

"I asked you to go and investigate. Have you finished it?"

"See, that's what I was going to tell you."

"Say it."

"This mine is really a huge tomb, and it's a human-shaped tomb."

"Human tomb?"

"It would be fine if it was a tomb for the living, but I'm afraid it's a tomb for the dead!"

Zhang Qishan also crossed his legs and placed his hands on his legs.

"We still need to ask the Second Master."

"Yes, so let's go after we invite the Second Master?"

"Well, Cui Yuxuan just happened to be urging Jinnian to go there. Should I take him to see it?"

Zhang Qishan glanced at him and nodded.

Qi Tiezui cheered in his heart and shed tears silently. Finally, he didn't have to go to the deep mountains and old forests where no one lived to survey.

He packed his things and prepared to take Jinnian with him when the Hong Mansion was unsealed.

...............

"Open the door! The Second Master is back!"

The servant was shouting outside, and when the people inside heard that the Second Master had returned, they immediately went to open the door for them.

As soon as Er Yuehong came in, he saw Uncle Fu in tears.

"Where are the Jinnian people?"
