Chapter 106: Deadly Birthday Gifts

The things in Liu Scholar's bag made the five people feel the pressure increase significantly.

Su Mi felt lucky. Fortunately, he had some skills, otherwise, if he were hit by a mace, he would probably have died directly.

Zhao Xiaofu and Jiang Xianglan were both pale, their livers trembling slightly, and even Du E's face didn't look good.

That whip landed on Su Mi's thick-skinned body and directly tore some skin and flesh. If it landed on their girls' faces, wouldn't it be direct disfigurement?

Wu Xian widened his eyes.

This ugly old fatty called a mace a pointer?

This was just a child's homework, and Su Mi's calligraphy was only considered "barely"? And there was such a punishment for one typo?

Now Wu Xian finally understood why the young master wanted to do this.

This homework was indeed not easy to complete, and it tested psychological quality too much...

"But if the homework is so strict, how should I complete it?"

This was hard labor, but Su Mi was best at hard labor.

But wanting to get other birthday gifts was a bit dangerous.

Eyes were quite desperate.

She looked at the last compartment. This compartment was very simple, with only a chair, and a protective talisman with the word "Longevity" on it was placed on the beam, revealing a small half.

Everyone staring at Zhao Xiaofu's actions was shocked.

Zhao Xiaofu smiled.

So he secretly looked left and right.

But he didn't know the strength of this old thing, nor did he know the consequences of killing it, so he had to endure it for the time being.

Zhao Xiaofu thought for a moment and felt that this gift was the easiest to get.

Wu Xian could force himself to do many things, but calligraphy was not something one could write well just by forcing oneself...

Slap!

A whip shadow flashed, hitting Du E's smooth forehead, which immediately swelled up.

Zhao Xiaofu let out a scream.

Liu Scholar roared fiercely: "No noise allowed!"

A moment later.

So Zhao Xiaofu couldn't care about too much and stepped directly on the stool. She was relatively tall, and with this chair, she could directly take the protective talisman down with her hand.

Liu Scholar roared again: "It's about the gift given by the young master; do your own things yourself!"

The longevity peach was placed in a very deep, small cabinet. The edge of the cabinet had a cover curtain, and there was a protrusion inside. To take out the longevity peach, one had to at least stretch one's head and arm into the cabinet.

Du E looked up blankly at Wu Xian.

Before, when Su Mi moved the millstone, nothing happened because this matter was very difficult, which was equivalent to a test, so there was no need to add small tricks.

This gift had a trap.

Inside was a large pot filled with clear oil, and the gold hairpin was lying at the bottom of the pot. She saw that the oil in the pot was not boiling, so she tried to test it with a finger.

She glanced at it and entered the numbers 159 into the combination lock. The combination lock opened as expected.

Among the five items, only this millstone was special. Only Su Mi could pick it up. If Su Mi didn't choose this millstone, one of the other four would definitely not be able to get a gift.

There was a line of words under the lock.

Su Mi walked around these compartments twice and found that there were five more items here compared to before.

Then, as long as she took any gift, tonight would be considered over. She picked and chose in several rooms and finally stopped at the compartment with the fence and the large pot.

There was a mechanism lock on the fence that required a three-digit number to open.

If she couldn't get the protective talisman, wouldn't her hand be burned in vain?

What would be the consequence of not getting a birthday gift?

Besides, her shoes were still on it. If she didn't have shoes, how would she spend the next rooms?

He hugged the millstone with both arms, his muscles bulging, and slowly took the millstone off the shelf, picked up the porcelain bottle, and that was considered getting a birthday gift.

The others should also not be easy.

Su Mi wrote another essay.

But Zhao Xiaofu had learned her lesson. She stared for a while and found that these ropes were of different thicknesses, the longest being only about one meter, and occasionally they were wriggling slightly.

Wu Xian was speechless and wrote a small note, wanting to pass it to Jiang Xianglan so she could write one for him.

Wu Xian was suddenly itching with hatred and had the urge to slaughter this old thing immediately.

Hiss!

"Ah!"

Her fingers were instantly withdrawn, but the skin and flesh on her fingertips had been burned. The previously calm oil pot suddenly became boiling, rolling oil smoke rose, and there were some sharp thorns on the handle of the pot...

Zhao Xiaofu endured the pain and left this small compartment. There were sharp thorns on the handle of the iron pot, and even if she wanted to pour out the hot oil, she couldn't.

The bone prayer beads were placed in a pile of ropes. One just needed to push the ropes aside and pick them out from inside.

Su Mi chose to take the porcelain bottle, which was also after thinking.

The porcelain bottle was placed on an iron shelf, and a millstone that was not too big was placed on the iron shelf. Unless the millstone was moved away, one could only see the porcelain bottle but couldn't get it.

Just at this moment.

Wu Xian's expression turned gloomy. It seemed that these birthday gifts were indeed not so easy to get.

So she took off one of her shoes and threw it up, wanting to knock down the protective talisman, but the shoe did hit the protective talisman, but pushed the protective talisman further in, and the shoe also stayed on it...

This might be a pile of snakes and insects!

Therefore, now Zhao Xiaofu only had one choice left.

Slap!

Wu Xian's arm felt a burst of sharp pain.

Thinking for a moment, Su Mi chose to take the porcelain bottle.

Zhao Xiaofu lost her composure upon hearing this.

Using a small stick to push, it couldn't be pushed out.

Hiss!

"Ah!"

This time his calligraphy was even neater than before, and he checked it several times without any typos. Liu Scholar finally stopped being demanding and gave Su Mi approval. Su Mi obtained half a cup of tea time to choose a birthday gift.

Zhao Xiaofu's heart finally relaxed.

The small compartments for birthday gifts were arranged very interestingly. Wu Xian and the others only needed to look back to clearly see the things in the compartments.

They were an exquisite small porcelain bottle, a string of bone prayer beads, a fresh peach, a gold hairpin, and a protective talisman with the word "Longevity" written on it.

"Help... help..."

Even if the beam or the stool suddenly changed, it would only hurt the hands and feet, and one could stop the loss in time.

Encouraged by Su Mi, Zhao Xiaofu also picked up the short essay she had written long ago and went to find Liu Scholar, successfully obtaining the qualification.

Du E's calligraphy was like a dog's scrawl, several times uglier than Wu Xian's.

It was likely that the remaining four compartments all existed in some kind of illusion, hiding the real danger.

Liu Scholar said: "Hurry up, half a cup of tea time is almost up. If you still can't get a birthday gift, you won't have a chance tonight."

Then he saw Du E again and almost laughed out loud.

Jiang Xianglan on the left and Zhao Xiaofu, worthy of being members of the calligraphy club, wrote calligraphy much more beautifully than Su Mi. As long as there were no typos, they would definitely pass Liu Scholar's test.

"At the age of fifteen, lacking clothes and food - excerpted from the autobiography of the Willow family's Great Grandmother."

If this small cabinet suddenly changed, the consequences would not be as simple as burned fingers.

Wasn't this just a number puzzle?

But just as she stood on tiptoes, her face turned pale.

Because she felt a cold rope loop around her neck...
