Broken Back Mountain's Treasure

Everyone around laughed. Chu Liufeng was a man of pride, and he quickly transferred all the estates to Pei Shuang's name.

He sneered and said, "Pei Shuang, don't ever come begging to me again."

Pei Shuang smiled faintly and said, "Don't worry! Could things get any worse than in the City Lord's Mansion? I definitely won't beg you."

Chu Liufeng sneered, "I hope you won't beg me."

Pei Shuang looked at the city lord's mansion and said, "It seems you suffered quite a loss this time! Seeing you like this, I'm relieved."

Old Madam Chu was so angry that she stomped her feet:

"Why would you marry a woman like that? What's so funny?"

My son is the city lord; he can have anything he wants. You wretched woman, just you wait! What kind of man can a woman like you possibly marry?

I'll see who in Peerless City dares to marry you. Whoever dares, I'll skin them alive!

Pei Shuang sneered, "Who has the patience to stay in Peerless City? This city lord is incompetent and tyrannical, treating human life like dirt. I've wanted to leave for a long time."

Chu Liufeng shouted, "If it weren't for these three children, do you believe I would have killed you right now?"

Pei Shuang sneered, "Is that so? Then try me, Chu Liufeng. Goodbye, and goodbye forever."

Chu Liufeng was furious and had no time to argue with her.

He now just wanted to know why his city lord's mansion had vanished overnight.

Then we heard someone rush over in a hurry and say:

"Son-in-law, I've finally found you! You have no idea, my restaurant was moved away last night."

All the family's valuables had disappeared.

"Damn it! You... you have to help me think of a way to find that gang of notorious thieves!"

This is Concubine Ruan's father. Concubine Ruan looked at her father and said, "Father, what's wrong? What's wrong with our restaurant?"

Ruan's father cried with snot and tears streaming down his face.

"I don't know where these thieves came from, but they emptied my restaurant overnight."

Oh dear! Isn't this the city lord's mansion? Why is it completely empty?

"Could the city lord's mansion have also been looted by those bandits?"

Chu Liufeng's face turned completely dark.

Pei Shuang went to Zhou Wanwan's inn, then brought out all the estates and said, "Wanwan, these estates are all yours."

Zhou Wanwan quickly waved her hand and said, "You should keep these estates for yourself! After all, you still have three children!"

Pei Shuang looked at Zhou Wanwan seriously and said:

"I heard from my brother that he now worships you as his master, and I have no other skills."

However, my embroidery skills and housekeeping abilities are exceptional.

My three children and I are also willing to serve you as our Lord; we only ask that you take us in.

If it weren't for you, I'd probably be dead by now.

Zhou Wanwan looked at her hair and said:

"Your hair is starting to turn black again. I will take care of it regularly, and it will soon be black again."

But first of all, you can't put pressure on yourself, and women should have their own careers and not place too much hope on men.

Men can be unreliable sometimes.

Pei Shuang nodded and smiled:

"I don't understand things as well as you do!"

Having died once, I've come to terms with everything. From now on, I'll live for the children.

Zhou Wanwan nodded and said, "Okay, then you guys rest! I have things to do!"

She also needs to visit Broken Back Mountain Broken Back Mountain; there's treasure there, and she must go see it.

Old Scholar Tree took Zhou Wanwan to Broken Back Mountain Broken Back Mountain. Once they got there, they realized that the mountain's name was well-deserved. The mountain was so steep that it felt like it would break a person's back, making it extremely difficult to climb.

Zhou Wanwan followed the Old Scholar Tree as they slowly wandered around the village. The village had long been abandoned, with weeds growing up to their knees everywhere, almost completely covering the roads.

She had only taken a few steps forward when she startled several pheasants and a few gray rabbits darting around.

Before she could even lift a finger, several thick roots of the Old Scholar Tree swiftly reached out and bound the pheasant and rabbit, slowly carrying them into its treehouse.

Zhou Wanwan glanced around and couldn't help but remark, "I didn't expect this village, which looks dilapidated, to be so large."

A clump of foxtail grass at his feet swayed its spikes and said, "I never thought that after our village has been abandoned for so long, there would still be living people coming here!"

"Could they be here to take the treasure? The previous chieftain hid a lot of good stuff!"

"It looks like it to me. Our mountain stronghold has been abandoned for so long, even dogs don't come here. I never expected this little girl to find this place."

"I have a feeling she's not here to find treasure, maybe she's just here to have fun?"

"Look, look! That tree can walk!"

The wild grasses were startled. Zhou Wanwan greeted them, "Hello! Have you eaten?"

The foxtail grass stared blankly at Zhou Wanwan and said, "Who is this little girl greeting? Is she greeting us?"

Zhou Wanwan nodded. "Yeah! I was just saying hello to you guys! I just wanted to ask you, where is that guy's treasure hidden?"

A clump of forget-me-nots with pale blue Little Flower at her feet swayed its petals and spoke in a shrill voice, "You... you really came here to find treasure? Where did you hear that?"

Zhou Wanwan lowered her head and said:

"Don't worry about how I know, just tell me where the treasure is hidden."

I can give you some energy so you can live longer and grow stronger.

Zhou Wanwan channeled energy into them, and Forget-Me-Not exclaimed with delight, "So comfortable! I know where he hid the treasure, it's a pity I can't walk, otherwise I would have taken you there."

The Old Scholar Tree shoveled up the soil beneath it, and the forget-me-not chuckled, "Wow! I can fly too! I'll show you the way, just follow me."

The forget-me-not led them through a maze of trees, eventually arriving at a grove. "That guy's stuff is hidden in this grove," she said. "As for which tree it's under, I don't know."

Zhou Wanwan looked at the forest in front of her, which had several hundred poplar trees.

She called out to the trees, "Hello everyone, I've come to ask if the former chieftain of the mountain stronghold hid anything here?"

The poplar forest An'an completely silent, without making a sound.

Zhou Wanwan frowned and called out again, "Hey, are you all mute?"

The poplar trees remained silent; the wind rustled through the treetops, only swirling the sand, and no one spoke.

The Old Scholar Tree shook its roots and said in a deep voice to the poplars, "What do you mean by this? Are you pretending not to hear me?"

After a brief standoff, the thickest old poplar tree in the middle slowly spoke up, "What exactly do you want here? Are you here to steal our treasure?"

The Old Scholar Tree immediately glanced at it and said irritably:

"I thought you were all deaf and mute, turns out you can talk!"

What do you mean by stealing your treasure? Is that treasure yours?
