Reborn Concubine's Wife

Chapter 35 The Birch Forest (3)
The box was a little heavy, and Zheng Ruo struggled to hold it in his arms.

"Girl, what is this?" Liu Xu looked curiously at the box in her hand that was carved with Bing Tilian. The material looked like high-quality agarwood, and she could still smell a faint fragrance.This box is very intricately carved, and the workmanship looks excellent, and the twin stalks wrapped around the whole box are lifelike. Even her servant can see that this box is probably worth a lot.

Zheng Ruoben wanted Xu Yi to find something and broke the lock on the box.However, then I thought, people's hearts are always unpredictable, who knows if he will see what's inside, he will be motivated by money, kill himself and take it for himself?
"Girl, what's in the box?" Xu Yi looked at the box, thinking about the scene of those beggars collecting money just now, wondering if this is also a treasure?
Zheng Ruo saw the greed in his eyes, and her heart skipped a beat.She collected her face, and said lightly: "I don't know..." As she spoke, she pushed the box over to Xu Yi, looked at him and said, "Xu Yi, why don't you open it and have a look?"

Xu Yizheng was about to reach out, but for some reason he suddenly remembered the girl's original intention of insisting on coming here.She has been staying here quietly, as if she knew everything that would happen in the birch forest early in the morning.He raised his head and glanced at her, and saw her deep eyes, as deep as a moonless night, faintly spreading a cold breath.Suddenly, he shivered.If the girl knows everything that happened here, she must also know what is in this box.She has been waiting here until all the people here are dead before she comes out to find this box.girl... girl...

Suddenly, he thought again of the calm look on the girl's face when she watched those people die one by one.

He laughed twice, pushed the box back, and said, "Girl, this box is yours, how dare I open it?"

Zheng Ruo put the box back into her arms without politeness, she smiled and said to Xu Yi: "I will tell you two, I knew everything that happened in the woods early on. Maybe you don't believe it, but I learned from the lake. After being rescued from a dream, in a half-dream and half-awake, I met an old fairy. He told me some methods..." She stopped talking in the middle of the sentence, leaving room for the two of them to imagine.

The current self is no match for a strong man like Xu Yi at all, so he can only start with ghosts, hoping to bluff him.

Although Xu Yi was clever, his temper was simple and honest.People in this world firmly believe in ghosts and gods, so when Zheng Ruo said this, he knelt down in front of her with a thud, ashamed of his little thoughts just now, and thankful that he was not confused just now.Otherwise, how can I still have my life at this moment?

His body trembled like a leaf on a branch in the autumn wind, and he was speechless for a long time.

"Xu Yi, as long as you are loyal to me, in the future, if I have a mouthful to eat, you will have a mouthful to drink." She turned around and said to Liu Xu, "Liu Xu, you are the same. Today's affairs, apart from this world, Only the three of us know about it. If it spreads, the lives of the three of us will be lost. If it rots in our stomachs, we can live a good life of eating delicious food and drinking spicy food."

Her sudden serious and serious expression also surprised Liu Xu.Today's girl is really different from before. Now she looks like the head of the family, with an inviolable majesty.Could it be that he really got the advice of the immortal?

"Girl, don't worry, I know the seriousness. I swear to God, if half of what happened today is revealed, I will die!" Liu Xu swore fiercely.

"Girl, so is this slave. If even the slightest bit of today's incident comes out of slave's mouth, slave will die likewise!" Xu Yi also swore poisonously.

People in this world value oaths the most.Zheng Ruo smiled again after hearing their oath.

"Both of you get up. Huang Tian is above, and the thick soil is below. I, Zheng Ruo, swear that I will treat Liu Xu kindly in the future. If you violate this oath, five thunders will strike you!"

"Girl..." Liu Xu and Xu Yi were moved to tears.

Zheng Ruo asked Xu Yi to find a long sword and cut off the lock on the box.As soon as the box was opened, Zheng Ruo's eyes widened in disbelief.

In the previous life, when I heard people chatting, I mentioned that after the county guard's wife and brother died in the birch forest, the county guard sent soldiers to rescue him.When Nai He arrived, his wife, brother and all his family members were dead, and all their belongings were missing.The soldiers only found a small box under a carriage engraved with a chrysanthemum emblem, and this small box is said to be a treasure chest.

However, Zheng Ruo did not expect that there would be so many things in this treasure chest.There are seven floors in the box. Zheng Ruo opened the first floor, which is covered with gold bricks, shining golden in the sunlight.

"Female... Lang..." Xu Yichang had never seen so much gold in his age, and so did Liu Xu.

Zheng Ruo picked up one of them with a smile and handed it to Xu Yi.

Xu Yi hastily declined and refused to accept.

"Take it, this is what you deserve, not only you have it, but catkins too." Saying that, she gave another piece to catkins.

Liu Xu glanced at the gold in his hand, but didn't react for a long time.

Xu Yi stammered, the gold in his hand seemed to be hot, and it didn't matter if he took it or not.

"Girl, this might be inappropriate..."

"There's nothing wrong with it. Just take what's given to you, it's as simple as that." After Zheng Ruo finished speaking, she got up and walked out first.

Xu Yi and Liu Xu looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing what to do.

"Still not keeping up? It's getting dark..." She turned around and said, "The money is not in vain, so hurry up and collect it."

Only then did the two happily put away the gold.

When returning to the carriage, Zheng Ruo's heart beat violently for some reason, as if she had a premonition that something was going to happen.She moved the bottom mechanism of the box calmly, and the bottom six floors were covered up, and it seemed that there were only gold bricks on the top.

Sure enough, when the curtain was lifted, there was a person sitting inside.Subconsciously, she hid the box behind her back, and she took a few steps back.

Noticing her abnormality, both Xu Yi and Liu Xu quickened their pace.But after seeing the hand behind her making a gesture to them, she slowed down, and Zheng Ruo quietly gestured to them again.The two watched for a while, then suddenly dodged and hid.
