Xu Xin felt that the child in front of him was really interesting, and his downcast appearance couldn't hide his burning eyes at all.
Suddenly, with a thought in mind, he reached out and touched the boy's head.
【You touched Zhou Yi's head, Zhou Yi is grateful to you. 】
[You touched Zhou Yi's head and detected that Zhou Yi is a martial arts prodigy. 】
"Child, are you also a member of the Beggar Gang?"
"No, after my father passed away, my stepmother kicked us out, so I can only take my younger sister to live in the mountain temple outside the city." The boy answered Xu Xin's question gratefully.
"The one behind is your sister, right?"
"Yes, sir, let's keep our voice down, don't wake up my sister." The boy smiled happily.
Xu Xin sighed: "You two come with me!"
After saying that, Xu Xin squatted down and gently picked up the sleeping little girl. She didn't know if it was because the straw couldn't keep her warm. She curled up all over, so Xu Xin took off her coat and wrapped the little girl up. .
At the beginning, the boy was still very nervous, because he also knew that there were still many bad guys in the capital, but when he saw Xu Xin undressing to keep his sister warm, he didn't take any further action.
"Don't worry, if I were a bad guy, I would have just grabbed your copper lock and key just now."
The boy laughed naively after hearing this: "Thank you, my brother and sister, for taking us in. I will do a lot of things."
"Haha, little slicker, I didn't say anything!" Xie Xie scolded with a smile, but in his heart he couldn't help admiring that the boy in front of him was quite alert and clever.
"It's good to help out in the mansion in the future. As for your sister, learn from the maids in the mansion first, don't worry."
Hearing this, the boy quickly knelt down on the ground: "Thank you Eldest Master, I will definitely work hard in the future! Return the silver taels to you Eldest Master, and if you take me in, I can no longer take your silver."
Xu Xin flicked his forehead lightly: "Little clever ghost, the money is yours if you give it to you. If you don't want it yourself, just save it for your sister to buy things."
"Then I will definitely tell her that the Elder Master invited her to eat, hehe."
The more Xu Xin watched him, the more he liked him.
Whether it is character or IQ and EQ, they are better than many adults.
For a person who may not have a next meal after eating the last meal, it is really rare to be able to return the money.
The two of them returned to the street one after the other like this, and bursts of fragrance came from the small noodle stall in the distance.
The boy swallowed his saliva, and the little girl seemed to smell it too. She woke up in Xu Xin's arms, grabbed Xu Xin in a daze, and shouted.
"Daddy, I'm hungry."
The boy timidly took out the silver just now: "My lord, can you exchange it for broken silver for me? It's not good for me as a child to buy it with five taels..."
Xu Xin nodded in satisfaction. He already understood the principle of not revealing money at a young age. He took the silver with one hand, and when he pressed his fingers hard, it turned into a handful of broken silver.
"Master, you are still a master!" The boy looked at Xu Xin in surprise.
"Go, sister is hungry." Xu Xin smiled.
……
Xu House.
Xu Xin brought the two siblings into the door, and after telling his servants to take care of them, he hurried to the secret room in the mansion.
The two brothers and sisters looked at everything in front of them in surprise.
The little girl held the little boy's hand and asked, "Brother, have we reached the Heavenly Palace?"
The little maid also amused the little girl's innocence.
"Little sister, this is the residence of Lord Xu, the Commander of the Imperial City Guard."
"Haha! It's so beautiful here!" The little girl smiled happily.
"Come on, I'll take you to take a bath first, and I'll make you some food later, Mr. Xu has ordered to take good care of you." After the little maid finished speaking, she led them to the bathroom.
The little boy was startled when he heard that it was Huangchengwei's home.
I've heard people in the city say how terrifying the imperial city guards are, but the old man from before didn't look that bad.
It is impossible to escape now, and we can only play by ear.
After all, he was still a child, and the moment he jumped into the bath, he had already left everything behind.
Beautifully took the long-lost hot bath, beautifully ate a steaming meal, beautifully slept comfortably under the warm quilt.
They haven't had a decent day since their father died.
When I woke up, it was already noon. After waking up, the little maid didn't say much, and after leading them to get acquainted with Xu's mansion, she took them to the place where the servants eat.
Inside the secret room.
Xu Xin sorted out the materials left by the late emperor, and there were more than a dozen boxes.
Looking at the densely packed documents, I can't help but feel a headache.
At first, I thought that the first emperor left this pile of things because he was already in a desperate situation at that time, so he could only place his hope on the legends, but he didn't expect that the secret treasures of the previous dynasty were actually true.
Xu Xin looked at the nine maps bound into a book, with the dense notes on them, and his mind was almost muddled.
After watching it all night, I can't see why.
"Zhou Yi said they lived in the Mountain Temple."
Xu Xin found a map near the capital, marking the location of the mountain temple, but compared the map book, he couldn't find the corresponding temple.
I had no choice but to take out the copper lock and key from last night to take a look.
Suddenly Xu Xin noticed that there seemed to be a faint mark on the side of the copper lock. He quickly cleaned the corroded copper lock and carefully hung up the patina. On the side of the copper lock, a seemingly familiar totem suddenly appeared.
He hurriedly checked the atlas and information again.
Sure enough, although there is no temple marked in the atlas, there are six similar totems around a river.
Compared with the current terrain, the position of the river is slightly deviated.
In fact, it is not surprising. After hundreds of years of erosion and sediment accumulation, it is fortunate that the road has not been diverted to the point of being unrecognizable.
"Juma River... Mountain Temple..."
Xu Xin said to himself, then left the secret room and returned to the study above the surface.
Chapter 103 Mountain Temple Treasure Hunting Juma River... If this place is often flooded, it is possible for later generations of residents to build mountain temples.
Xu Xin stared at the map, thinking.
"Come on! Where's the little boy you brought back last night?"
"My lord, the two children were having lunch just now, and this servant is going to call him over now."
Not long after, the little boy who had changed his clothes came to Xu Xin with his head bowed under the guidance of the maid.
"Are you still used to your sister?" Xu Xin smiled as he looked at the little boy who had been washed.
"Yes, my lord, Zhou Yi, thank you for taking me in."
The little boy knelt down and made a big salute.
"Let's do it. I like someone as smart as you. You two can work in my house with peace of mind in the future."
"Zhou Yi and my sister will be wholehearted in the future!" The little boy kowtowed again.
Xu Xin beckoned: "Get up, come here, I have something to ask you. You said you live in the mountain temple outside the city, so where did you get your keys and copper locks? things."
The little boy got up and raised his head, he was taken aback for a moment, then he seemed to understand something, and ran to Xu Xin with a silly smile.
Seeing the little boy suddenly smiled, Xu Xin asked with a smile without reprimanding him.
"why are you laughing?"
"It turns out that my master is so handsome and extraordinary! Even the disguise and martial arts are incomparable!"
"Do you still know the disguise technique?"
"Daddy taught me before, and Daddy taught me a lot of things!" The little boy said proudly, and then felt lonely for a while.
Seeing this, Xu Xin quickly changed the subject.
"Were the copper lock and key originally in the mountain temple?"
"It's not my lord. When I couldn't get food, I would fish for fish. I picked up the copper lock and key by accident, and it's near here."
After speaking, the little boy pointed to the Juma River.
"Can you still read maps? Also your father taught you?"
"En." The little boy's eyes lit up, as if he would be very proud when he mentioned his father.
"By the way, my lord. Once when I was fishing in the river, I found a few martial arts people searching for something near the river, but I didn't dare to get too close. I thought they might also be looking for copper locks and keys, so I will go to the ghost market to see if I can get some silver taels to buy food for my sister."
Smart, quick-witted, and affectionate, very good.
Xu Xin stroked the little boy's head.
"Okay, it's okay, you go down, if you have anything to do in the future, you can come to me directly, or go to Sister Azhu and ask her to tell me."
After thanking him, the little boy left with the maid.
After the little boy left, Xu Xin returned to the secret room and copied a blueprint.
Since it is a secret treasure, there must be many organs in the treasure land. It seems that this trip is not easy, and we need to find more helpers, but who can we find.
When he was at a loss, Guo Xiang walked in with a Rubik's Cube.
"Are you lying to me? It is impossible to twist the six sides so that each side is the same color!"
Xu Xin didn't want Guo Xiang to disturb his thinking, so he took the Rubik's Cube directly, twisted it quickly, and after a while, threw the completed Rubik's Cube to her, and continued to look down at the map.
Seeing Xu Xin's operation, Guo Xiang was shocked.
"Wow! It's amazing! Teach me, teach me!"
Guo Xiang directly grabbed Xu Xin's sleeve and repeated it over and over again.
Xu Xin had a black line on his face at this moment, regretting that he quickly completed the Rubik's Cube in front of her.
"Are you looking for some treasure? The treasure of the previous dynasty?"
Guo Xiang glanced at the map, then continued to tug and shake Xu Xin's sleeve.
"Yes, the treasures of the previous dynasty. But there are too many possible burial places, and the scope is so large that it is impossible to start..."
"You guys also know how much you guys spend. It cost me nearly 2 taels of silver for just one visit to the street, and now I have to support the newly recruited imperial city guards, so I need to find some more money..."
"No! How do you know it's the treasure of the previous dynasty! I don't seem to have said anything!"
Xu Xin suddenly raised his head and looked at Guo Xiang in shock.
"Of course I know. I saw this map from my grandfather when I was a child. You also know that my grandfather's interest in doing things. After getting the map of the secret treasure of the previous dynasty, he came to help people explore around the capital."
"However, Grandpa knew that the people who gave him the map had bad intentions, and he was afraid that if they got the treasure, they would cause trouble for the common people, so he only took them around suspicious places."
"After all, it's just a transaction. The price they paid is not known to grandpa for taking risks for them."
"So, can you also roughly determine where the treasure is buried by looking at the map?"
Xu Xin hurriedly asked.
"That's natural. Grandpa gave me everything. Whether it's astronomy and geography, five elements and eight trigrams, or Fengshui Kanyu, Qimen Dunjia, I can be called a master."
"Then..." Xu Xin stammered and wanted to speak, feeling embarrassed.
"If you want me to help you, it depends on your performance!"
Guo Xiang handed the Rubik's Cube to Xu Xin.
"This is easy to handle, you see, after messing up, first make the bottom white cross, and then like this..."
"Hahaha, I've learned it, I'll show it to Sister Yuyan!" Guo Xiang was about to run away.
Xu Xin hurriedly chased him out: "Come back!"
……
After disguising, Xu Xin and Guo Xiang came to the vicinity of the mountain temple and searched for traces of a fire in the depths of the forest.
"Sure enough, someone has been active nearby! Do you still remember who asked your grandfather for help?"
Xu Xin asked with a frown.
