Chapter Twenty-Three: The Treasure Map in Hand
Jiang Chen, the owner of Sean Mountain Villa, woke up from a coma. The last picture in his memory is that after dealing with various things, he was resting alone in the study when suddenly a black shadow appeared in front of him, and he woke up with a pain in the back of his neck.
Looking around, he noticed that the scene around him was very familiar.
Yes, this is the dungeon where the lodge punishes traitors.
Knowing that he was still in Sean Villa, Jiang Chen's heart rose instead.
Being subdued by someone without reacting shows that this person's skills are extremely high. If you are locked up in an unfamiliar environment at this time, it means that you have been smuggled out of the villa, and the people in the village should be fine. Later, when they find out that something is wrong, it is possible to find themselves according to the traces left at the scene.
But if this is still a mountain village, the situation is different.
This shows that there should be more than one person coming, and the villa should have been controlled by the other party, but everyone may just be imprisoned, and there is still hope for life.
But if there is only one person on the other side......
Maybe at this time, there are no living people in Sean Hills.
Jiang Chen, who was tied to the shackles, shuddered, and didn't dare to think about it anymore. He turned his head hard, trying to see if there was any information he hadn't noticed.
As he looked straight ahead, his eyes were firmly drawn to the few porcelain jars on the table.
There are five porcelain jars, neatly arranged in a row, and there is a porcelain bowl with a lid next to it.
Why five? And what they look like, why are they so like... Urn?
Jiang Chen shuddered, not daring to think about it.
At that moment, a man pushed open the door of the cell and walked in.
The person who came was dressed in black, covered with a black scarf, holding a bowl of steaming noodles in his hand, and a wooden sword hanging from his waist.
Wait!Wooden Sword?Jiang Chen snorted.
Jiang Chen opened his mouth, his voice hoarse: "Your Excellency tied me up, but what do you want?"
The man in black put down the bowl and said curiously: "How does Master Jiang know that I don't want to take your life?"
Don't you disguise your voice! Jiang Chen's eyes twitched slightly.
"There are only you and me here, but Your Excellency still does not show your true face. This shows that Your Excellency did not want to take my life, but wanted something from me. He spoke calmly.
"Yes, worthy of being the lord of a village. The man in black approving, "I am a subordinate of Gale Chill in the Western Regions, and this time I secretly protected Gale Storm and came to the Central Plains to retrieve the treasure map that was stolen by your six brothers. Gale Storm is dead, and if I can't bring back the treasure map, Gale Chill won't let me go. I beg the owner of Jiang Zhuang to hand over the treasure map, and he can also avoid a pain of flesh and skin, why not?"
You call him by his name and say that you are his subordinate? And your voice and the wooden sword hanging from your waist have betrayed you deeply! Jiang Chen's heart collapsed.
After knowing the identity of the person in front of him, Jiang Chen relaxed.
He said angrily: "You can keep me for as long as you want, I won't give things to foreign lackeys!"
Jiang Chen had no fear, after a day of contact, he thought that the person in front of him was not bad, so he put his mind at ease and cooperated with the other party to act, but he always bit and did not hand over the treasure map, he was sure that the other party would not kill him.
The man in black picked up the bowl of noodles and picked up a pair of chopsticks: "Are you hungry?" Do you want me to cook a bowl of noodles for you to eat?"
This is a bowl of Yangchun noodles, a handful of fine noodles, half a bowl of broth, a glass of water, five dollars of lard, a spoonful of good soy sauce, and two very broad and crispy cabbages.
Jiang Chen, who didn't eat at night because of dealing with the aftermath, felt more and more hungry.
He swallowed: "I don't eat your stuff, because you're a dog, a traitorous lackey!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he spat at the man in black.
The man in black dodged for a moment, put down the bowl heavily, and said angrily, "Have you ever paid attention to my feelings!"
Jiang Chen said contemptuously: "I'm sorry, I will only consider the feelings of people, not the feelings of dogs!"
was punched heavily in the abdomen, and Jiang Chen spurted out a mouthful of old blood.
The man in black who withdrew his hand sighed, stretched out his hand and pointed to a row of jars on the table: "Guess what these five urns contain?"
Jiang Chen suddenly had a bad idea, what if the person in front of him wasn't acting? What if he really ......
Thinking of the opponent's innate strength in killing with one sword, the question returned to the beginning: if there was only one enemy and he locked himself in the Sean Mountain Villa, then the other people in the village would ......
The other party asked for the treasure map that his six brothers got from the Western Regions, and the people close to the brothers only knew that there was something in the village that they got from the Western Regions, and the people who knew that it was the treasure map were only the six of their brothers who returned from the Western Regions together. The other party knew that he was getting a treasure map, and there were five urns on the table, which means ......
Jiang Chen gasped, his eyes cracked: "You dare to kill my brother!"
The man in black chuckled: "This kind of thing happens, everyone doesn't want it to happen." ”
"Don't you want to, for a treasure map that doesn't know what's in it, you'll kill my five brothers!" Jiang Chen is no longer acting, knowing that five brothers who have been born and died for many years, and who are like brothers and sisters with him, died tragically at the hands of the person in front of him, he can't care so much.
The man in black smiled: "The most important thing in a family is to be neat and tidy, and it's not just your five brothers." ”
He picked up the tea bowl next to the urn, unabashedly took off the black towel on his face, opened the lid and scooped a spoonful of the contents, and ate it deliciously:
"It's been a bit of a fire lately. ”
Jiang Chen's blood was on his head, and his eyes were about to split: "You beast! In order to reduce your anger, you actually killed the turtle raised in my backyard and made it into turtle jelly! You also laughed while eating!"
The man in black put down the bowl and smacked his lips: "Master Jiang, I don't have much patience, I advise you to hand over the treasure map, otherwise your family will soon have to go down to accompany your brothers." ”
Jiang Chen's blood froze, and he closed his eyes tiredly: "I hand over the treasure map, can you promise not to hurt me and the wives and children of several brothers?"
The man in black put on his masked black scarf again: "Do you have a choice?"
“...... The treasure map is in the darkroom of my study, and the entrance is behind the landscape painting on the wall, and with three taps, the darkroom will open. I hope you can do what you say and don't hurt my wife and children when you get the treasure map. As for me, I'm afraid you won't let it go. ”
The man in black nodded with satisfaction: "I will naturally let your family go when I have the things, and then again, why did I kill you?"
Jiang Chen's dead heart suddenly moved, the other party killed several of his sworn brothers, and it was already an endless life-and-death feud. I will definitely not cooperate with him to splash dirty water on the body of the Western Regions Gale Cold. And I already know the identity of the other party, so what is the reason why he didn't kill me......?
Before he had time to think about it, he had been knocked unconscious by the man in black.
When he woke up again, Jiang Chen found himself lying on the bed, and his wife was holding his hand tightly, lying on the side of the bed tiredly.
He struggled to sit up and woke his wife up beside him.
Mrs. Jiang helped him sit down and hurriedly went out to inform others.
"Big brother, how do you feel?" Huang Ling, the owner of the fourth village, broke in in a hurry.
Jiang Chen grabbed Huang Ling's hand excitedly: "Fourth brother, you're not dead?"
Huang Lingqi said: "Big brother, are you sleeping, how can I die if I am so decent?" I know you are worried about me, but I have already figured it out, Huang Shaotian's animal life is just right, if he really lets him take over the villa in the future, I am afraid that the reputation that our brothers have accumulated over the past ten years will ruin him." Several of you children are still young, and we can still retrain the heirs of the villa. ”
Jiang Chen relaxed: "It's okay, it's okay...... it's okay."
Then he saw that Huang Ling wanted to speak and stopped, and couldn't help but speak: "What's the matter, fourth brother, what's going on?"
Huang Ling hesitated for a moment and said, "Don't worry, big brother. In the evening, my sister-in-law saw that you didn't go back to the room, so she came to the study to look for you. It turns out that you have been knocked unconscious and fall to the ground, and the darkroom is open, and the contents are gone. Big brother, do you know who did it?"
Jiang Chen's expression was complicated, he paused, and said: "It's the subordinate of the 'Western Regions God of War' Fierce Wind Cold, he came with Fierce Wind and Waves, and the purpose is to hide the treasure map." It's just that one of them is in the light and the other is in the dark. I was defenseless, and it seems that the treasure map was robbed by him as well. ”
Huang Ling patted the back of his hand and comforted: "I said a long time ago that we can't keep the treasure map, it's okay if it's gone, the most important thing is that the person is okay." ”
At this time, several other owners also rushed over when they heard the news, and the brothers chatted for a while, and saw that Jiang Chen was fine, so they left one by one.
Mrs. Jiang came in with a bowl of steaming Yangchun noodles at this time, and said with a smile: "You haven't eaten for a day, are you hungry?" I cooked a bowl of noodles for you to eat. ”
Jiang Chen's face turned pale, and he frowned: "Don't eat, you take care of me for a long time, go to bed early, I have to be busy for a while." ”
Mrs. Jiang said aggrievedly: "Busy! Busy! Busy! You know busy every day! Have you ever considered my feelings?"
Jiang Chen hurriedly coaxed her: "Madam, I'm really not hungry, you sleep first, and I'll come later." ”
Mrs. Jiang saw that his face was pale, and sat down beside him to comfort: "I know you feel uncomfortable, but everyone doesn't want this kind of thing to happen." Don't think about it so much. ”
"Don't worry, I'm fine, it's all over, I still have you here, what can't I think of. After that, I will retire to the rivers and lakes, accompany you with peace of mind, take a walk every day, raise flowers, and live the life we dreamed of before, I will never let you be frightened again. Jiang Chen took his wife's hand and patted it gently.
Mrs. Jiang's eyes were slightly red: "Well, it's because I believe that you can sit down that I only married you back then." Don't forget that there are also our children, and the most important thing for a family is to be neat and tidy. ”
Jiang Chen wiped the tears from the corners of his wife's eyes: "Don't be unhappy, smile, remember that I fell in love with you at first sight because of your smiling face." ”
Mrs. Jiang's face turned red: "I won't, the most important thing in being a man is to be happy, that's what you told me at the beginning." ”
“......”
Listening to these familiar words, Master Jiang felt that the whole person was not good.
