Abandoned by the best children? I just take out the space

Chapter 1927 Poisonous

Everyone didn't understand why Wan Shufang suddenly stopped them. They all looked at her with confusion. When they met their puzzled eyes, Wan Shufang took a deep breath and pointed at the bones.

"There's a problem here. Don't touch anything for now. Wait for me."

As she spoke, she winked at Chen Changli and moved her fingers slightly. Chen Changli instantly understood what she meant and moved sideways to block her behind him. While the few people couldn't see clearly, Wan Shufang secretly took out masks from the space and distributed them to everyone.

"Take them all and put them on."

Chen Changli took the mask and looked at the box: "Do you suspect the box is poisonous?"

Hearing this, Wan Shufang nodded and said calmly: "I just checked these bones. From the bones, I can see that the deceased died of poisoning. We don't know where the poison is, so just in case, it's better to wear a mask."

After hearing this, everyone put on their masks obediently, except Minghe, who looked at Wan Shufang thoughtfully, not knowing where she got so many masks from.

But this thought only lasted for a moment, and her mind was drawn to the treasure. Seeing that Chen Changli was ready to open the box, she also moved forward.

Chen Changli studied it for a long time but failed to open the box. His face darkened: "The lock that locks the treasure chest is extremely complicated. We need to find a matching key. Otherwise, if we force the lock, we may never be able to open the box again."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's faces suddenly changed. They had gone through so much trouble to finally find the treasure and were about to get a glimpse of its true appearance, but now they were defeated here.

"No, I must open the box." Minghe's eyes were sharp and burning, and he fell on the box and examined it carefully.

Seeing her like this, Chen Changli pursed his lips and could only try again, but still couldn't find a way. He tried to pick up the box, but the box did not move on the stone pillar, as if it weighed a thousand pounds.

"We can't lift it. It seems we can't open the lock. We can't even take the box away." Chen Changli looked at Minghe and shook his head. Seeing the loss gradually rising on Minghe's face, he could only say words of comfort.

“Miss Minghe, this is your father’s thing after all. Maybe you can untie it.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Minghe's eyes lit up again. Chen Changli moved away from the position he was standing in so that Minghe could get closer to the treasure chest and study how to unlock it.

Several secret guards also gathered around, and a group of people chattered, studying how to open the lock. The whole space suddenly became lively. Seeing their lively discussion, Chen Changli did not disturb them. His eyes turned around and fell on Wan Shufang.

At this moment, Wan Shufang was studying the pile of bones. Chen Changli walked over to Wan Shufang and squatted down: "Shufang, have you found anything?"

"Aren't you going to study how to unlock the treasure chest?" Wan Shufang raised her head and was a little surprised to see Chen Changli, but she quickly lowered her head and continued to check the bones.

"I couldn't open the lock, so I gave it to others to try, especially Minghe. After all, this is a secret her father knows, so maybe she can open it."

"I see you've been looking here for a long time, but what have you found?"

Upon hearing this, Wan Shufang's face turned heavy. She pointed at the bones on the ground and said in a serious tone, "Indeed, we have found something. Judging from the degree of skeletonization of the bodies, this pile of bones is at least ten years old."

Wan Shufang paused, then moved to the other side to check another set of bones: "But judging from the bone age, it is only about twenty years old."

The surroundings fell silent, and her words were heard by everyone. Her bone age was about 20 years old, but the degree of skeletonization was more than ten years.

This means that these people died here when they were still children!

"Who is so cruel that he would bury a child alive?" Chen Changli's face was stern. He thought that a child was buried alive and wanted to skin the person behind it alive.

After all, in some backward villages, there are many people who are buried alive as sacrifices.

But Wan Shufang shook her head and said calmly, "Changli, have you forgotten where we are? If a few children were buried alive at the place where the treasure was buried, the treasure would have been discovered long ago."

"I don't know where these children came from, but they were poisoned and died pitifully."

As she spoke, Wan Shufang sighed deeply and looked at the piles of bones with a look of pity. Chen Changli also had a heavy face. He didn't know why a child would mistakenly enter this place and be poisoned.

Tied up in this dark place, starving to death, how miserable would those children be before they die...

Chen Changli was so absorbed in his thoughts that he stood there in a daze for a while until Wan Shufang called him and he came back to his senses.

"Changli, what are you thinking about?" Wan Shufang walked to Chen Changli and pulled him to the front of the stone wall. "Look at these stone walls. The murals on them are lifelike, especially the gems. The colors are excellent. Even if the lock cannot be opened, these gems are priceless."

Wan Shufang couldn't help but want to dig out two of the sparkling gems to take home and make earrings.

Seeing the love in her eyes, Chen Changli couldn't help laughing. He stretched out his hand to rub the ends of her hair, and said lovingly: "I'll buy you a bigger and brighter gemstone when I get back."

"When the time comes, I'll want not only earrings, but also necklaces and bracelets."

"You are always good at coaxing me. I am so old now, but I don't like these things. I picked them for Xiyun." Wan Shufang curled her lips, and her ears turned red unconsciously as she spoke. She shook off Chen Changli's hand.

"Chen Changli, be serious. I asked you to look at these stone walls. I always feel that they are a bit strange."

Wan Shufang walked around the stone wall and finally stopped at a certain place. Seeing this, Chen Changli also walked over. He looked around and stared at the wall in front of him for a long time.

“It seems to be a little different.”

Chen Changli reached out and touched each stone wall one by one. He went around in a circle and finally came back to Wan Shufang: "It's different from other places. This place is loose. Shufang, step back."

As soon as he finished speaking, his eyes fixed, and at the moment when Wan Shufang just stepped back, he raised his foot and kicked hard. The stone wall collapsed with a loud bang, yellow sand flew, and the group of people closed their eyes and waved their hands.

"Ahem, Master, what's going on?"

"Wall, why did the wall collapse..."

After a while, the yellow sand dispersed, and the surrounding scene became bright again. A small empty opening came into view. Chen Changli looked at the opening with a solemn expression on his face: "It seems that this is a secret passage blocked by the wind and sand."

"Shufang, be careful. I'll try to enlarge the secret passage."

"Okay." Wan Shufang nodded and stood further away again. Chen Changli continued to attack the stone wall, trying to expand the secret passage. But before he could kick it a few times, the surroundings suddenly shook violently, like an earthquake. It was so severe that Chen Changli had to stop temporarily.
