Tomb robber: Tuantuan, I am a national treasure!

Qi Tiezui sat at the door for a long time, waiting for the Hong Mansion to be unsealed.

Just now, Chen Pi passed by him and walked straight in without even calling him. Qi Tiezui pouted and said, "If you don't want to call me, then don't call me." He felt his stomach and found that he was still a little hungry. Thinking of taking Jinnian to eat something delicious later, he endured it.

Just as he was about to enter Hong Mansion, he saw a stall selling candied haws in the next alley, so he simply bought two strings and shared one with Jinnian.

When he invites you in, you will see that everyone in the Hong Mansion has an unpleasant look on their face.

Some are sad, some are nervous and worried; in short, everyone is in a state of panic.

Qi Tiezui was puzzled, what did this mean?

Could it be that Jinnian wants to compete with Er Yuehong for the family property? What's the reason? Could it be that Er Yuehong has someone he likes?

Qi Tiezui kept guessing, and he actually got a little bit right, but most of them were outrageous.

Qi Tiezui pulled a servant over and hit the man's arm with his elbow.

"Hey! What happened in your house? Did the young master and the second master have a fight?"

As luck would have it, the person he pulled over happened to be the group of people who had pried open the door with Uncle Fu, and happened to have seen what happened, but this person had also been beaten by Uncle Fu.

Uncle Fu told him to shut his mouth, but he couldn't. He would never have to speak again in his life.

Although he knew that Uncle Fu was a good person and was probably trying to scare him, he didn't dare to disobey. After all, the young master usually treated them very curiously. How could they betray the young master? What if an assassin came and wanted to take his life while the young master was sick?

Qi Tiezui looked at the boy in front of him, his mouth tightly shut, his eyes rolling around. He was extremely curious. Wasn't it just a question? Why did it look like he was writing an article in his head?

Qi Tiezui patted the servant's arm and said, "What are you thinking about? Tell your Eighth Master! I am your Eighth Master, tell me quickly."

The servant was interrupted from his heroic performance and fantasy of saving the young master, and angrily slapped back: "No one is allowed to ask the young master!"

Qi Tiezui smacked his lips, looked at the person who had revealed the truth, and nodded: "I didn't ask what happened to your young master. I only asked what happened in your house. It seems that your young master has had an accident?"

When Xiao Jinnian was mentioned, Qi Tiezui's expression became serious. He knew that he couldn't joke with Xiao Jinnian and couldn't delay him.

"Tell me, what's wrong with him? Does he need anything? Is he sick? Did they have a fight?........."

Qi Tiezui was looking serious when he saw the servant looking at him as if he were a stranger.

Qi Tiezui's serious expression could no longer be maintained in an instant, and his whole body cracked: "No, what do you mean?! I am concerned, concerned! Do you understand? I am not going to harm him, I just want to ask him what's wrong, is it that serious?!!!"

Qi Tiezui pushed him and thought that he should go and take a look himself. Along the way, he thought that the Second Master must replace the servant in the future, at least with someone as smart as the adjutant, or at worst, with someone with a good brain!

When he walked outside Jinnian's room, he found that there was someone guarding it.

Qi Tiezui raised his head and almost suffocated. He thought he would have to waste his breath again, so he said weakly: "I am Lao Ba... so what are you talking about? I am an outsider. I came to see your young master..."

"Hello, Master Eight."

The servant at the door took the initiative to greet him, and Qi Tiezui breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, someone who knew him came.

The servant didn't say much. He turned around and knocked on the door, telling the Second Master that the Eighth Master was here.

Qi Tiezui wiped away his tears. He was finally going to meet someone. Along the way, except for the servant who was almost going insane, many people acted as if they couldn't see him and treated him as air.

He wondered if he hadn't been to the Hong Mansion for too long, even though he had come to play with Jinnian many times before.

Er Yuehong's voice inside sounded muffled, and it didn't even sound like his voice.

Qi Tiezui looked at the open door, went in, turned around and closed the door.

As soon as he came in, he saw the Second Master with his back to him, and Jinnian lying on the bed. Through the fluttering bed curtains, he could vaguely see Jinnian's pale chin, which was a little thin.

Qi Tiezui felt like his heart stopped for a moment. The distance to the bed was as long as the Road to Heaven.

"Second Master?"

Er Yuehong moved slightly and turned to look at him.

"Second Master... Young Master?"

"It's okay for now."

"Huh...Second Master, I am almost scared to death by you!"

"What's going on?"

Qi Tiezui glanced at the bed and saw Jinnian's pale face, as if he had taken opium. There was no blood in his face and he looked weak.

"Someone gave me a 'big gift', and Jinnian fell for it."

"What 'gift'?"

Er Yuehong handed Qi Tiezui the shriveled insect shell, the box on the table and the broken jade, and showed them to him.

Qi Tiezui subconsciously skipped the ugly thing and instead picked up the jade pendant to observe it, something he was good at.

"Second Master, the material of this jade pendant is not simple."

"How to say?"

"This is not ordinary jade. It gives me a bad feeling. Although it doesn't look special, it must be extraordinary."

Er Yuehong took it and the jade pendant seemed to be nothing special, as if its existence was to hold the things inside, to nourish it, and to be its container.

"Old Eight, look at that body."

Qi Tiezui reluctantly picked up the insect that he almost threw aside, still wondering how it could be a "shell"?

The feel of the shriveled insect is really hard to describe. The "shell" has lost its elasticity and luster, and is covered with wrinkles.

Er Yuehong speculated, "I suspect that something inside bit Jinnian and burrowed into her. I tried to force it out, but it burrowed deeper and Jinnian was in pain."

"Now, if we let it stay inside, Jinnian will not have any other reaction except that her body will become weaker. However, who knows if it will grow inside Jinnian's body, lay eggs, and then absorb Jinnian like nutrients and break out of her skin?"

Qi Tiezui got goosebumps all over his body as he listened to Er Yuehong's description.

He squeezed the "shell" in his hand. It was rough, yet extremely tough, and could not be broken.

He walked forward, looked at the wound on Jinnian's hand, and took his pulse.

The pulse was weak, as if it would be overwhelmed and stop in the next second.

"It's not good. We need to nourish him. Jinnian is so small that he can't be sucked dry by it. Don't let Jinnian suck him dry."

"Second Master, go find Master Buddha. I only know that this jade is not simple, but I don't know anything more. Show it to Master Buddha. Master Buddha's hometown has a history, and maybe he can tell something."

Er Yuehong agreed and asked Qi Tiezui to look after Jinnian while she went to find someone to get some things.

There were rare and precious herbs for nourishing the body, as well as jade for nourishing the qi. All the good things that were not underground were brought here.

Qi Tiezui looked at these people carrying things into Jinnian's house in baskets, and sighed, "Second Master has quite a lot of wealth."

"Alright, that's enough, let's get out first."

He stopped the men and asked them to leave.

"Oh, yes, keep an eye on your house and don't let any strangers in."

Qi Tiezui could only help Jinnian to steady himself. If there really was an assassin coming, he could only raise a white flag.

Er Yuehong left with the three things.

Qi Tiezui couldn't stand the depressing atmosphere in the room, so he opened the window to let the smell of medicine dissipate.

The servants outside were cooking things in one furnace after another, wishing they could cook everything that Jinnian could use.

Qi Tiezui felt so heartbroken when he saw how wasteful they were, and he quickly drove away the group of kind-hearted people.

"Go, go, go and look after the yard. Don't waste this good thing. It still depends on you, Master Ba!"

Qi Tiezui didn't dare to leave Jinnian, for fear that once he left, the person would be gone (not really), so he set up a stand and did it outside the threshold.

He was sitting inside the room and could see people just by looking up.

Xiaodong took a palm-leaf fan and fanned the heat and smoke out of the room for fear of suffocating Jinnian.

Qi Tiezui watched the heat and became angry, coughing due to choking.

"I said, um...what's it called......?"

"Eighth Master.....My name is Xiaodong."

"Oh, call me Xiaodong... Xiaodong! Can't you just stand in front of me and fan me?"

Xiaodong stood behind him, and Jinnian was protecting him. All the smoke that was blown out hit him!

Xiaodong scratched his head: "Okay, Master Ba."

Xiaodong changed his standing position, which finally gave Qi Tiezui some fresh air.

"Master Ba, do you need anything else? Are these ginseng and ganoderma enough? If not, there are older ones in the warehouse. There is also a big one in the master's room!"

Qi Tiezui looked up and saw that it was Uncle Fu, holding two ginsengs in his hand.

"That's enough, that's enough. If you add more, your young master will have a nosebleed."

After finishing all the mess, Qi Tiezui moved a stool and sat beside Jinnian's bed.

He tilted his head and looked at Jinnian who was sleeping peacefully.

It was not known whether the Ten-Ingredient Tonic Soup that he drank worked or whether Xiao Jinnian was just stubborn and managed to get through it, but Qi Tiezui noticed that he looked much better, at least his face was not as pale as a zombie's.

Qi Tiezui remembered that he had told Jinnian’s fortune when they first met.

Good luck comes to those who are blessed.

How is it possible to just fall asleep and not wake up?

There must be something fishy about this matter. Anyone who dares to harm the little lucky star of the Nine Gates will be made to pay for it by the Nine Gates.

After Qi Tiezui finished speaking harshly in his mind, he touched Jinnian's wound and looked at it.

Er Yuehong said that he had checked and found that apart from a slightly swollen butt, there was only this one wound on Jinnian's body.

The wound had a peculiar shape, with the four sides resembling a spread-out leaf, a concave patch in the middle, and dark blue blood clots on the surface.

"Blue?"

Jinnian has never been injured, so Qi Tiezui really doesn't know that his blood is blue.

“I’ve never seen it before.”

He thought about it carefully. If he could turn into a giant panda, what was so strange about that?

Jinnian has been attracted to bugs since he was a child, but those bugs don't bite him, as if he is a trap.

It's easy to imagine that the insect just now was most likely cultivated by humans.

Qi Tiezui was so angry that his teeth were itching. How dare someone like him plot against the Nine Gates?

What's more, the box was originally intended for Er Yuehong. Is he trying to kill himself by plotting against the head of the second sect of the Nine Sects?

Xiaodong rushed in, but didn't see the threshold under his feet. He tripped and stumbled towards Qi Tiezui.

"Fuck, what are you doing?!"
