Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Peerless Jade Cicada

Tang Xiaoqian really wanted to soften with her eldest brother, but her strong will supported her body at this time, and she stood straighter than usual. She first helped Tang Jingzhong to sit down against the wall, then wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and after making up her mind, she said aloud in the direction where the voice came from, "This senior, the eldest brother is reckless and has offended, and the junior is here to make amends to you!" Our brother and sister knew their mistakes, so they left, but the younger generation dared to ask the seniors to give me medicine to relieve my brother's pain, even if I wanted to exchange my life, the younger generation was also willing! ”

"Xiao Qian!" Tang Jingzhong shouted these two words, and the pain in his abdomen exhausted the little strength he had left, and he couldn't make any sound anymore. Tang Xiaoqian gritted her teeth and knelt down, and shouted, "Please also ask your seniors to give medicine!" ”

A head slammed on the ground is all the dignity that Tang Xiaoqian gambled on. The old woman's voice sounded again, "For your sake of being so sincere, I can give you the antidote." But you have to promise that after your brother takes the antidote, he will leave here with his brothers as you say, and never come back again. If he goes back on his word, hum! ”

The last two sounds contained too many meanings, Tang Xiaoqian was a smart girl, and she couldn't help but shudder. She knew that once her eldest brother took the antidote, he would smash this place to pieces and find out the person who had harmed him.

Her hesitation had obviously fallen into the eyes of the other party, and the old woman said coldly, "It seems that you brothers and sisters can't do it, so please leave quickly!" His own sister-in-law was still kneeling on the ground, Tang Jingzhong almost gritted his teeth and couldn't stand up. He hated, he was angry, he really wanted to find out the person who poisoned the tea, first peel him and cramp him, and then dismantle him to relieve his anger.

And Tang Xiaoqian was bent on saving her eldest brother, she knelt forward and climbed two steps, raised her right hand and stretched out three fingers to put them in her ear, "I, Tang Xiaoqian, swear here, if my brother breaks his oath after taking the antidote, I will not die a good death, and I will not be able to be reincarnated after death, turning into a lonely soul and a wild ghost, wandering the world!" ”

The word "no" was stuck in Tang Jingzhong's throat, and he couldn't make a sound. With a crisp sound, something fell in front of Tang Xiaoqian, she was stunned for a moment, then grabbed the thing tightly in her hand, crawled in front of Tang Jingzhong, broke his mouth, and stuffed the pill she was holding firmly in her hand.

When the pill touched the saliva in Tang Jingzhong's mouth, it immediately melted and flowed down his throat and into his abdomen. The kind of pain that made people want to live and not die suddenly alleviated a lot, and after a while, the pain disappeared completely, although he was tormented by abdominal pain and exhausted too much physical strength, but at this moment he could barely stand up without help.

Tang Jingzhong's eyes were red and he looked at Tang Xiaoqian, he, who was an elder brother, actually asked his sister to protect him, and the poisonous oath he made just now was not only for the other party, but also a golden hoop on his head. Tang Xiaoqian saw that the medicine worked, and hurriedly grabbed him and said, "Brother, let's go, the brothers are still waiting for you!" ”

"Okay, let's go!" When he walked out of the door, Tang Jingxin glanced back unwillingly, and a thought had already come out of his heart.

Old Man Yu didn't know what happened later, he drank the glass of wine that Tang Jingzhong poured for himself and didn't wake up. Later, the subordinates who were still guarding the door listened to the silence for a long time, worried that the thieves had poisoned their masters, so they dared to go in to see.

"Soon after I was woken up, Tang Jingzhong and Tang Xiaoqian came back." When Old Man Yu talked about this, he turned his head and wiped the corners of his eyes, "At that time, Tang Xiaoqian was already dead, she held her last breath, only glanced at me, and died without even having time to say anything." ”

Yan Heyi knew that with Tang Jingzhong's temperament, he must have killed those brothers after finding them, and the accident should have happened at that time. Old Man Yu said, "I also asked Tang Jingzhong, but he refused to tell me anything, only said that he was sorry for Xiaoqian, and he couldn't help me." Oh, by the way, he handed me one thing at the time. Xiaoqiu, Xiaoqiu! ”

Xiao Qiu, who was guarding outside the door, came in in response, and the old man Yu ordered, "Go to the shelf on the north wall of my study, and get the box of Huanghuali, be careful, don't miss it!" Xiaoqiu agreed and ran out, and after a while, she carefully came in with a box.

The old man took out the key he was keeping close to him and opened the box himself. Yan Heyi got up to look, and saw a jade cicada on the black golden velvet. Although the best mutton fat jade was used, the dead man's breath on the jade cicada still made Yan Heyi stunned. He said, "Old man Yu, this thing came out of the tomb, could it be that in addition to being a bandit, this Tang Jing was also a captain of the gold school?" ”

"You think highly of him," said the old man Yu, shaking his head, "he brought it out of the east of the town, or rather, he robbed it." If there's anything to do with treasure, maybe it's only this jade cicada! ”

Yan Heyi took out a handkerchief and put it on his hand, picked up the piece of jade cicada, and looked carefully at the bright place. The texture of the jade cicada is delicate and moist, the tentacles are warm, white and flawless. While lamenting the preciousness of this piece of jade, Yan Heyi suddenly discovered a problem.

The jade cicada is small, but it seems to contain some impurities in the middle. Yan Heyi immediately asked, "Old man Yu, is this jade flawed?" The old man pursed his lips and smiled, "If you look carefully, it's not a flaw!" ”

In order to let him see more clearly, Old Man Yu asked Xiaoqiu to light a lamp to shine on. The candle flame shone from the other side of the jade cicada, and Yan Heyi suddenly discovered that what was hidden in this jade cicada was actually a smaller cicada!

"This, this, this!" Yan Heyi said three "this" in a row, and his surprised mouth couldn't close. The old man said, "Amazing, I have hidden this jade cicada for decades, and I have tasted it and taken it out, but I have not seen through whether the cicada inside is naturally existing, or what exquisite techniques were used to get it." Now that you mention the treasure, I think, if this jade cicada has something to do with the treasure, you can imagine how valuable the contents are. ”

Yan Heyi put the jade cicada back in the box and said to the old man jade, "Tang Jingzhong brought back the jade cicada, he must have wanted to tell you something." After all these years, have you ever seen him again? The old man Yu sighed and said, "He disappeared more than ten years ago, and I heard that he died of depression." ”

The only insider was gone, and Yan Heyi asked unrelentingly, "Then does he have any children and grandchildren?" The old man said, "He is the same as me, a lonely old man, where did he come from." I heard that after his death, the people under his command also fell and scattered, and they disappeared! ”
