The gluttonous little boy is four and a half years old, and even the wealthy family kneels down and

"Little Miss! I'm here to help you!" Yun Zi'ang grabbed a shovel and ran over.

Xiao Jin patted her bulging belly contentedly, her eyes crinkling with comfort, and replied with a grin, "Xiao Jin can dig it herself."

"It's alright, little miss." Yun Zi'ang thought she was being modest, so he rolled up his sleeves. "You tell me where to dig, I'll dig."

"Ah, you stepped on it..." Xiao Jin saw that Yun Ziang had half a foot on the array's core and explained in a low voice, "But this thing is very dangerous. If you touch it, at best you'll break an arm or a leg, at worst you'll die."

Upon hearing this, Yun Ziang's eyes widened in terror, and he leaped several meters away like a rocket.

He patted himself off in fear, as if afraid of getting some bad luck on him. "Little Miss, what's that down there?!"

"We'll know once we dig it out," Xiao Jin said, holding up the shovel that was almost as tall as her. She waved her chubby little hand in the air. "Grand-nephew, go a little further away."

Upon hearing this, Yun Ziang turned and ran without looking back, only stopping when he was almost at the gate.

Yun Ziqian helped Yun Zhengbang slowly walk out. When Yun Zhengbang saw Xiao Jin digging in the dirt all by herself with a large iron shovel, he immediately became somewhat angry:

"Why didn't that kid Zi'ang go and help?"

It's completely inappropriate to let such a small child hold such a big shovel.

"Ziqian, go help Xiaojin."

"Okay, Grandpa."

Yun Ziqian agreed and was about to walk towards Xiao Jin when he saw his younger brother rush over with lightning speed. Before he could react, his brother picked up his grandfather and carried him on his back. Before leaving, he didn't forget to take his cane.

"Huh?" Yun Ziqian asked in surprise.

Yun Zi'ang shouted, "Come here quickly, don't delay my little aunt's important business."

He carried Yun Zhengbang on his back, huffing and puffing, back to where he had been standing, before explaining, "Grandpa, my little aunt told us to stay away."

Yun Ziqian slowly followed, looking at Zi Ang with a strange expression. "You've been acting strangely ever since the beginning."

"When did you find out about this young lady?"

He couldn't help but ask the question that had been bothering him.

From the moment he entered the house, Yun Ziang showed complete trust in this child who had suddenly appeared out of nowhere, which was completely inconsistent with his usual arrogant personality.

Yun Ziang suddenly put on a deep expression and sighed, "There's no point in arguing with someone like you."

He raised his hand to his chest, looked up at the sky, and said, "I can only say it's all the will of Heaven."

Yun Ziqian stared at Yun Ziang with a slightly disgusted expression, "Idiot."

the other side.

On the lawn in the backyard of the villa, Xiao Jin held a shovel taller than herself, humming a little tune as she dug: "Heave-ho, digging for snacks, one bite at a time, so delicious~"

The deeper she dug, the thicker the black aura became, but she dug with increasing enthusiasm, like a little hamster digging for sweet potatoes in the ground.

Suddenly the shovel struck a hard object, making a clanging sound.

"Found it!" Xiao Jin's eyes lit up. She put down the shovel and started digging with her two little hands.

At this moment, Yun Mingyue and Yun Mingyuan walked over one after the other, completely unaware of the three generations of grandfather, grandmother, and grandson standing far away.

Yun Mingyue frowned, her high heels clicking on the grass, and said impatiently, "What kind of thing can we possibly dig up?"

Xiao Jin bent over, put her hands into the hole she had dug out, and stuck her little bottom up high.

As Yun Mingyue approached, she heard Xiao Jin huffing and puffing.

"Hey ya—"

Xiao Jin gritted her teeth and pulled hard, finally managing to pull out the thing buried deep underground.

A round wooden box with carved patterns came into view.

Xiao Jin used too much force, stumbled, and fell backward, throwing the contents of the box out with him.

"Ouch!"

"ah--"

Xiao Jin's cry of pain and Yun Mingyue's exclamation rang out at the same time.

The lid of the wooden box hit Yun Mingyue squarely on the head.

Yun Mingyue's forehead immediately flushed red. She covered her head and said angrily, "What do you want to do!"

Behind him, Yun Mingyuan saw something wrapped in a yellowish-white cloth flying towards him and instinctively reached out to catch it.

He opened his hand and saw something the size of a silkworm cocoon.

It was noon in the summer, and the heat was intense, but the thing in his hand was as cold as an ice cube.

What's even stranger is that he felt the coolness travel through his hand and into his body, making him feel as if he were encased in ice.

"Ah, wow wow!" Xiao Jin got up from the ground and hurriedly ran towards Yun Mingyuan, afraid that Yun Mingyuan would take the food from her.

Xiao Jin tiptoed and tugged at Yun Mingyuan, finally getting the item from his hand.

The thing emitted an extremely thick black aura. Xiao Jin, her mouth watering, licked her lips and took a deep breath.

Thick, inky black mist seeped into her open mouth.

The black aura that had been surrounding the object began to thin out at a visible rate.

Xiao Jin puffed out her round cheeks like a hamster hoarding food, and only when the last wisp of black smoke was sucked away did she close her mouth with a "plop" and let out a cool burp.

She patted her chubby little belly contentedly, her eyes crinkling into two crescent moons: "Hmm, it's cool and refreshing, but a bit bitter. It would be perfect if I could dip it in honey."

"Brother, brother, what's wrong with you?!" Yun Mingyue's shrill voice suddenly rang out.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jin looked up and saw that Yun Mingyuan's face was deathly pale and his whole body was trembling uncontrollably.

"Oh dear!" Xiao Jin frowned. "This is bad stuff. You touched it and got tainted by evil energy."

Xiao Jin took the item in her hand, then reached around her neck and touched it twice, pulling out a red string with a piece of white jade emitting a faint jade-like glow at the bottom.

She stood on tiptoe, holding the rope, and placed the warm, white jade in Yun Mingyuan's hand: "My dear nephew, hold it tight!"

This is her longevity jade, which contains golden light; it is her greatest treasure and can dispel evil spirits.

At this moment, Yun Mingyuan felt as if he were in an ice cellar, his ears were covered with a layer of fog, and he could not hear anyone's voice.

Seeing that Yun Mingyuan didn't react, Xiao Jin simply took action, using her two small hands to forcefully pry his fingers together and close his hands.

Yun Mingyue looked alarmed and reached out to touch Yun Mingyuan's forehead. "Oh my god! Brother, why are you so cold!"

"How could this happen?"

The three people, a grandfather, grandmother, and grandson, noticed the strange occurrence and began to rush over.

As Yun Mingyuan held the piece of white jade, he felt as if he were holding a scorching hot stone. The chill in his body was gradually dispelled, and his five senses became clear again.

He blinked very slowly, looking around, and felt as if he had seen the light of day again.

"Brother, brother?!" Yun Mingyue shook him violently, calling out desperately, "Can you hear me?"

"Don't scare me!"

Yun Mingyuan's gaze lingered as he slowly lowered his head to look at the heat source in his hand.

It was a piece of high-quality, warm white jade, inlaid with silver decorations.

"What...is this?" He reacted for a moment, then raised his eyes slightly and met a pair of very clear and innocent eyes.

Xiao Jin stood beside Yun Mingyuan, her two small, fair hands holding his large hand. Seeing that Yun Mingyuan was feeling better, she tilted her head and smiled sweetly, saying:

"Nephew, are you all better?"

Looking at that adorable face, Yun Mingyuan finally snapped out of his daze. Recalling what had just happened, he was filled with doubt and surprise. "What...what was that thing just now?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jin knew that Yun Mingyuan was back to normal. She started to pry his hand away, quickly retrieving her longevity jade. "You're all better now, so give Xiao Jin her treasure back!"

Yun Mingyuan rubbed his fingers reluctantly, his eyes fixed on the jade of immortality, almost staring at it intently. "That's truly a fine piece of jade."

Yun Mingyue frowned, pulled Yun Mingyuan aside, and forced him to turn his attention to her. "Brother, what happened to you just now?"

Yun Mingyuan couldn't explain it either; he felt as if he had just walked through the gates of the underworld.

Xiao Jin looked at her jade pendant, noticing that the golden light had faded considerably, and felt extremely distressed.

Meanwhile, Yun Ziqian had already walked over silently from a distance.

His gaze was fixed on the object at Xiao Jin's feet, wrapped in a yellowish-white cloth and about the size of a silkworm cocoon.

Is this what was buried under their ground?

Yun Ziqian had always scoffed at anything supernatural or superstitious.

He felt that we live in a modern society now, and these feudal superstitions should have been discarded long ago.

But the current situation does make one think a lot.

Yun Ziqian hesitated, then picked up the thing from the ground. Looking at the white cloth that was about to fall apart, he couldn't help but reach out and peel it off.

Halfway through peeling it off, Xiao Jin's voice rang out softly, "There are bones inside."

Yun Ziqian paused, glanced at Xiao Jin suspiciously, and then, disbelievingly, tore off all the white cloths in one go.

A section of stark white bone suddenly appeared before his eyes.

Yun Ziqian felt goosebumps erupt all over his body, his wrist went limp, and the piece of white bone fell to the ground.

Xiao Jin's voice rang out again, "Grand-nephew, don't be afraid. There are six more bones like this in your family's underground."
