Next to a large rock a few hundred meters away, there is a small wooden house. At this time, the small wooden house has been almost completely covered by the surrounding vegetation, and the structure of the wooden house can only be seen in some places.
The door of the wooden house was slightly ajar. Su Qing controlled the vines and entered the house. Then she saw a skeleton lying on the wooden bed in the house. The skeleton had not turned into bones, but had become a mummy. The face of the skeleton's owner could be vaguely seen. He looked like an old man about sixty years old, with gray hair and beard and a black face. Su Qing judged that this person was most likely killed by poisoning.
Because there were some dried dark red stains around his mouth and on the wooden bed next to him, they were most likely bloodstains.
There is actually someone living under this cliff, and it is obvious that this person is not Su Shengjun.
Su Qing continued to look around the wooden house. Not far from the wooden bed there was a wooden table. On the table there was an envelope pressed down by a stone, and there was a wooden box next to it. Apart from that, there were some daily necessities such as pots and pans. But it was obvious that these things were covered with a layer of dust because no one had used them for a long time.
Su Qing expanded the scope of her observation again and discovered that there was a grave in an open space not far from the wooden house. There was an unmarked tombstone in front of the grave, but no one knew whose grave it was.
Apart from the wooden house and the tomb, there was nothing else under the cliff, so Su Qing walked towards the wooden house.
Unexpectedly, just as Su Qing took a few steps towards the wooden house, the snakes that seemed to be monitoring her suddenly moved and swam towards her, hissing and staring at her with their cold snake eyes, as if they didn't want Su Qing to get close to the wooden house.
Su Qing couldn't help but raise her eyebrows slightly when she saw this. It was obvious that these snakes should have something to do with the person in the wooden house. Perhaps it was that person who trained the snakes. It was a pity that the person was no longer there, and these snakes seemed to still adhere to their previous habits and guard the wooden house.
Su Qing ignored the snakes and continued walking towards the wooden house.
Seeing Su Qing walking towards the wooden house, the snakes seemed angry, and several snakes flew towards Su Qing quickly. However, before the snakes could get close to Su Qing, several vines wrapped the snakes tightly with lightning speed, and no matter how the snakes struggled, it was of no avail.
Afterwards, the other snakes were all wrapped tightly by the vines before they could react.
Su Qing did not intend to kill these snakes. After all, strictly speaking, this was now the snakes' territory. She had run into someone else's house, and it would be a bit excessive if she killed these snakes. So, Su Qing just tied up the snakes and walked towards the wooden house.
Pushing open the half-open door of the wooden house, Su Qing couldn't help but wave her hand. There was a dried corpse in the wooden house, and no one had been there for a long time. The smell was a bit bad, and there was a lot of dust.
After waiting outside the door for a while, Su Qing finally entered. She first clasped her hands together and bowed to the old man on the wooden bed, and said, "I don't mean to disturb you. I just came here to look for clues because I am looking for the elders in my family. I hope you won't blame me."
After saying that, Su Qing took out a plain bed sheet from the space and covered the mummy on the bed.
Then, Su Qing looked at the letter on the wooden table. This person left a letter on the table before he died. It was obvious that he wanted to leave some information for future generations. So, Su Qing opened the envelope on the table, took out the letter inside and started to read it.
There were three letters in the envelope. After reading the first letter, Su Qing couldn't help but look at the person lying on the wooden bed in surprise. She never expected that this person was a servant of the An family, who was arranged by Grandpa An to stay here to guard the valuables that the An family did not have time to take away.
This reminded Su Qing of what the two people she met when she was looking for medicinal herbs in the mountains when she first came to this world. At that time, they talked about something like a map with treasure. Later it was confirmed that the group of people were from the An family in Xiangcheng. The young master they were talking about was An Zhihan, and the eldest and second masters were An Zhihan's two uncles.
At that time, Su Qing didn't take the conversation between the two people seriously. The treasure map had nothing to do with her, and she didn't plan to look for it. But she didn't expect that the old man of the An family actually hid the treasure in Baihua Mountain, and even sent someone to stay here. Unfortunately, the person who stayed behind died before the An family arrived.
This first letter also expressed his apology for not completing the task assigned by Mr. An. Obviously, this first letter was written to the descendants of the An family.
After reading the first letter, Su Qing couldn't help but frowned slightly. As far as she knew, the old man of the An family had been in a coma for several years and had no signs of waking up. It seemed that the old man did not have time to tell his two sons the location of the treasure at home. The two sons probably knew that there were treasures hidden by the An family in the mountain, but they didn't know the exact location, so they sent those people to search everywhere in Baihua Mountain.
However, the thing that An Zhihan's two uncles had tried their best but failed to find in Baihua Mountain, was now found by her.
Then, Su Qing opened the second letter.
This letter was not written to the An family, but to someone who accidentally broke into here. In the letter, the person who stayed behind briefly explained his origins, hoping that the visitor could help him pass the news here to the descendants of the An family, so that the descendants of the An family could come here to take away the treasure. As a thank you, the person who stayed behind left behind his method of taming snakes, which was considered as the reward for delivering the letter.
Looking at the second letter, Su Qing couldn't help but sigh softly.
As the saying goes, money can move the heart. If it were someone else, I'm afraid they would probably embezzle the things here. After all, who wouldn't be tempted by such valuable things?
But for Su Qing, she didn't care much. If she wanted to make money, she had plenty of ways to do it. Besides, she was not short of money now.
In addition, there is another point. She knows An Zhihan, and An Zhihan intends to deal with the An family. She is happy to see this and is even willing to add fuel to the flames. She plans to hand these things here back to An Zhihan. With these things, it should be easier for An Zhihan to deal with the An family.
After putting the second letter down, Su Qing picked up the third letter and started reading.
When she had read half of it, Su Qing's eyes suddenly widened, and then she quickly opened the wooden box next to her.
