Under the dead branches and fallen leaves in the backyard, there are two small dirt bags that bulge slightly. Fang Du found a shovel and dug it down, and less than two feet away, two white bones were exposed. Fang Du looked up at the sky, sighed, and said to Sima Lu, "Bring the little girl over." Sima Lu said, "She's still so young, maybe later, wait for her to grow up a little more......"

"Senior sister, I know that you can't bear it, how can I bear to let Xiaoya face such a cruel truth. It's just that she has no father and mother, and her only grandmother can't take care of her for too long, and she has to grow up faster than children of the same age. Sima Lu looked back in the direction of the gate, ruthlessly, and walked over.

"Brother!" The little girl ran towards Fang Dui with her arms outstretched, and when the rabbit lantern in her hand shone on the two white bones, she suddenly cried out in fright, hiding behind Fang Dui, holding on to his sleeve, refusing to let go.

Fang Du pulled her up, "Little girl is not afraid, do you know who is sleeping here?" The little girl cried breathlessly, and cried out in her mouth, "Brother, I'm afraid, I want to go home!" Fang Dui said to her, "This is your father and mother, are you still afraid?"

The child's crying stopped abruptly, and the tears still welled up from the little girl's eyes, and she bit her lip tightly, until she bit her teeth marks and blood drops, and refused to say again. Sima Lu felt distressed for a while, hugged Xiaoya tightly into her arms, and coaxed softly, "Xiaoya is not afraid, sister, I'll take you back!"

"No!"

Xiaoya suddenly spoke, she let go of Sima Lu, timidly walked in front of the two white bones, and slowly knelt down, "Daddy, mother, Xiaoya has come to see you." Grandma said you went far, far away and won't come back. Xiaoya misses you very much, thinks about it every night, and sometimes cries secretly. ”

She clenched her teeth, her little head raised slightly, not only did she dare not look at the bones of her parents, but she also did not want to let tears flow from her eyes.

"Grandma is old and can't take care of Xiaoya anymore. However, Brother Fang Du and the two sisters will take care of me, they are very good, and they are also very good to Xiaoya, so Daddy and Mother can rest assured. The little girl kowtowed three times, and then got up and laboriously went to get the shovel. Fang Du stopped her, but Xiaoya stubbornly shook her head at him and said, "Brother, I want to come by myself to let my father and mother feel at ease." ”

Fang Dui, Mi Zhou, Sima Lu, the three of them stood behind the little girl, watching her fill the soil back with difficulty, when she turned around, Fang Dui felt that the little girl at this moment and the innocent, ignorant little girl before were like two people, at this moment, there was an imperceptible sadness in her eyes, and there was a trace of firmness independent of heaven and earth but without the slightest fear. There was even a moment when Fang Dusk hallucinated, and his childhood self was overlapping with the little girl in front of him and becoming a person.

"Brother, who killed my father and mother, I want to avenge them!" Xiaoya said very calmly, Sima Lu was startled, and hurriedly said, "Xiaoya, revenge is not something you should think about, is it okay for my sister to take you home?" Xiaoya said, "I actually heard it, it was the bad people who lived here who killed my father and mother, sister, where are those bad people?"

This question was also what Fang Duan wanted to know the most, and Da Niu said that those robbers disappeared five days ago. This is their lair, as the saying goes, the monk can't run the temple, there must be clues left by them here.

Fang Du asked Da Niu to find an oil lamp and candle to light it, and started to find it in the living room. According to the bull, this is where they hid their looted belongings. But the living room is so big, and there are only a few items on it, and if there is a dark room, it must be behind the paintings hanging on the wall.

Sima Lu has a lot of experience in this area, and in her home, there are these pins almost everywhere, and they are all designed and made by the Mo family. She lifted the painting, knocked twice on the wall, and after determining its bearing, pressed it a few times on the seemingly white and flawless wall, and immediately a dark grid bounced open. The mechanism inside was very simple, just a button, Sima Lu pressed it gently, and the secret door on the other wall slowly rose up.

"That's right, that's it!" Da Niu shouted excitedly, others didn't know him, but they knew that these robbers were ruthless, and the merchants they met couldn't keep even a copper coin. Fang Du threw a sharp look, and Da Niu immediately said with interest, "I'm guarding outside, if they come back suddenly, I'll give you a message!"

Fang Du walked in the front with an oil lamp, Sima Lu walked in the middle with Xiaoya, and Mi Zhou walked at the back with a candle. Before they could descend the steps, the glow of the oil lamps and candles shone on the mountains of yellow and white objects below, reflecting an even stronger and more dazzling light.

"These bastards, they're ruthless enough!" Sima Lu's pupils contracted violently, she had only seen so many treasures in her own warehouse, and the amount hidden here was almost as large as her own "small warehouse".

Countless gold ingots are piled up at random, and there are also various precious gems such as ruby sapphires, emeralds and cat's eyes. Sima Lu picked up a piece of tourmaline the size of a baby's fist and exclaimed, "Good thing, really a good thing, such a size tourmaline, I'm afraid it's priceless!"

Fang Du was not interested in these things, and after a hurried glance, he said to them, "I'm afraid we won't find anything here, let's go up." Mi Zhou suddenly asked, "What should we do with these things?" Fang Du said, "Naturally, it will be returned to the families of those murdered merchants, and if no one claims it, it can also be handed over to the state treasury." Mi Zhou wanted to speak and stopped, as if he wanted to say something but didn't say it.

When they returned to the living room, Da Niu's eyes lit up, and he didn't know how to hide the greed on his face. Fang Du said to him, "Don't touch the things below, I'm honest about you, I'll give you some money." When Da Niu heard that he had money, he became more attentive, "When those people come back, they all live next door, and I will take you there." ”

In the next bedroom, Fang Du carefully illuminated every inch of the wall and floor with candles, hoping to find the traces left by those people. Mi Zhou stood under the window, his hands intertwined in front of his chest, and a holy lotus flower was born. When the light of the lotus flower shone on the window lattice, several unusually blurred figures suddenly appeared.

Those shadows seemed to be two groups of people, one holding a long sword and a long sword struggling to resist, and the other was empty-handed, but aggressive. After a few scuffles, the empty-handed men snatched the swords from each other's hands, knocked them unconscious, and took them away through the window.

Fang Du was dumbfounded, and couldn't help but ask, "Miss Mizhou, what is this?"
