Chapter 216: Whose Child
"Open the treasure!"
"Treasure?" Cheng Xiao raised her eyebrows.
For this answer, she was not surprised, the Burial God Mountain can have an enchantment, why can't there be treasures in other places?
The world is so big, there are countless talented people, and everything is possible.
"What treasure?"
Cheng Xiao became interested, sat up straight, and looked at Ye Tingyun with burning eyes.
Ye Tingyun didn't speak, raised his hand and took out a book from the desk shelf on the side and handed it to Cheng Xiao.
Cheng Xiao raised her hand to take it, and when she looked down, it was all in English.
After a pause, he raised his lowered head again, staring at Ye Tingyun's eyes, frowning, as if asking: Are you kidding me?
She can speak English, but she is limited to simple communication, and she is unable to translate certain types of books.
Ye Tingyun smiled and said, "This is a travelogue written by an adventurer named Stephen Lowe. ”
"It tells that during his expedition, he met a Chinese man named Zhang Xusheng."
"Zhang Xusheng has a crystal shaved jade key in his hand, which can open a treasure under the East China Sea."
"Stephen Law became interested and decided to act with Zhang Xusheng."
"A group of them came to the East China Sea, and after decades of research and exploration, there was still no way to determine the location of the treasure, and finally regretted that they passed away, and the jade key was also put into the coffin as Zhang Xusheng's burial object."
Stephen Law was unwilling, so he wrote this travelogue, hoping that future generations would have the opportunity to continue to explore.
Ye Tingyun simply told the story to Cheng Xiao.
His voice is deep and magnetic, and his speed of speech is not hurried or slow, like an excellent voice actor, it is extremely pleasant to the ear, and it is an auditory pleasure.
"Later, Zhang Xusheng's tomb was stolen, and the key was also circulated." Ye Tingyun continued.
Cheng Xiao groaned: "With just a book and a key, they can be sure that something is really true? ”
"Zhang Xusheng and Stephen Luo spent decades, but they did not find the so-called treasures of the East China Sea."
"How can Herbert and Luo Bin be sure that their side will definitely be able to complete the unfinished things of their predecessors, why should they?"
Cheng Xiao picked up the English version of the travelogue and flipped a few pages at random, which already had traces of turning, with creases and remarks.
It is conceivable that this book must have been carefully read by Ye Tingyun.
"With financial resources, manpower, and clues left by predecessors."
Ye Tingyun whispered, his knuckled fingers tapping lightly on the table.
"The fact that the Herbert family has survived to this day shows that the people at the helm of their family are not blindly impulsive."
"They dare to spend such a big price to shoot this jade key, they must be completely sure."
"If I'm right, Stephen Lowe might be a member of the Herbert family."
According to the introduction of this travelogue, Stephen Law was born in a small border town in England and lived with his mother since he was a child.
"When he was 12 years old, his living environment changed, and the quality of life took a qualitative leap, which is very strange."
"How did a child, a young woman with no beauty and no life skills, get this money?"
Ye Tingyun peeled off the cocoon little by little.
All the small details of life, the places that are not noticed, are all pointed out by him one by one.
"You mean to say that Stephen Law is the illegitimate son of the Herbert family?" Cheng Xiao asked.
"It's possible." Ye Tingyun nodded.
"Even if he wasn't, he had a subtle connection to the Herbert family."
"After his death, he may have left clues about the treasures of the East China Sea in the Herbert family, so the Herbert family must have known some information that no one else could know."
Ye Tingyun made a final summary.
Cheng Xiao listened to it in her ears and nodded, agreeing very much with this statement.
"What about Luo Bin?"
"Who is Luo Bin?"
Cheng Xiao pursed the corners of her mouth in confusion, she couldn't understand the fact that Luo Bin threw the key to her.
There are people coming and going on Cisse Island, not to mention hundreds of people, she and Luo Bin don't know each other, why did Luo Bin choose her?
How sure is Luo Bin that she will not hand over the key?
Cheng Xiao lowered her eyes and fell into deep thought.
Ye Tingyun on the side also shook his head: "I don't know." ”
"But it doesn't matter, since Luo Bin dares to hand over the key to you, then he will definitely come to you, and then things will come to light."
"You put away this key first and keep it safe."
Ye Tingyun held the jade key in his hand and handed it back to Cheng Xiao.
"If you are also interested in the treasures of the East China Sea, I can help you check the information and accompany you on a trip when the time comes."
Ye Tingyun smiled, turned his head to look at the sky outside the plane, and his smile was full of confidence, which was an affirmation of his own strength.
"Treasure hunting?"
Hearing this, Cheng Xiao also laughed.
"I'm really interested, and I also want to see what the treasures of the East China Sea are like."
Is it as mysterious as the barrier on the mountain of the burial god?
Cheng Xiao held the key tightly, put it in his pocket casually, and his spiritual power turned.
The key was missing in an instant.
Hidden.
Her voice changed: "But whether to go or not, and how to go, we have to wait for Luo Bin to find it before making a decision." ”
"Good!" Ye Tingyun retracted his gaze, put Cheng Xiao's hand in his palm and clenched it tightly, and said softly: "Listen to you." ”
"If you move forward, I will overcome obstacles for you, and if you retreat, I will be a harbor that you can rely on."
"Xiaoxiao, the rest of my life will be you." Ye Tingyun said emotionally.
The voice fell.
Cheng Xiao broke free from Ye Tingyun's arms, spread out her five fingers and pressed them on her face and pushed back, and said at the same time: "Greasy!" ”
Cheng Xiao couldn't help but complain, but Ye Tingyun didn't think so.
"It's just a real feeling!"
After speaking, he didn't go to Cheng Xiao's side, but picked up a book and read it.
Cheng Xiao relieved himself when he saw this, took the pillow on the side, and took a short rest.
In this way, one person rests, one reads a book, and the two spend their time on the plane peacefully.
……
Afternoon.
Red Star Village.
When Cheng Xiao and Ye Tingyun returned home, the small village was already shrouded in the afterglow of the setting sun, and the houses and trees seemed to be plated with a layer of gold.
Smoke rises from every house, and the smell of food spreads everywhere.
Crunch!
Cheng Xiao pushed open the courtyard door and looked up.
I saw a handsome young man in a white shirt, as clean as an angel, sitting under the vine reading a book.
Beside him was a four- or five-year-old little bean cube.
Xiao Douding was sweeping around on the ground with a broom far beyond his height, and a pair of big dripping eyes were still aimed at the boy from time to time.
Spirited and spiritual.
"Whose child is this?"
Cheng Xiao blinked, and a question came to mind.
