Chapter 126: Human Bones

Su Yu was also startled by the thing that was fished up.

She trembled, watching the servants scatter far away, the butler on the phone, she panicked, 【Wulongcha, what's going on? Where's the promised gold? How did it turn into a skull?】.

【I-I-I don't know either! Host, you used too much force, right?】.

Wulongcha merely thought the Host was too poor and wanted to dig for treasure in the manor. Su Yi could even make a jade tiger guard the TV, so maybe he buried some treasure as well?

One day, Wulongcha wandered in the grass for a long time but found nothing good. It was too sleepy, preparing to go back to sleep, but drifted off course and almost floated over the wall. It couldn't brake in time and accidentally fell into the water.

It muttered curses, just about to float up to go bathe in the Su family's swimming pool, when it saw a glint of gold. It moved closer to the bottom of the pit, circled the object half-hidden by aquatic plants, turned it from various angles for several rounds, confirmed it was gold, and went back to find Su Yu.

If it had known that something like a skull could be produced down there, it wouldn't have dared let Su Yu come!

What a sin!

How could the Su family manor possibly have a burial ground? Now things have really blown up!

【Is this the point?】.

Does it matter whether she used great force or not? Isn't the important thing what's in her hand? At the crucial moment, Wulongcha let her down!

【Host, why don't you put it down first?】.

Wulongcha felt the Host looked scared, but she was actually quite brave, and she didn't even drop that fishing net.

Su Yu trembled, 【My hand has a mind of its own! I can't put it down!】.

It thought she didn't drop it because she didn't want to?!

Liang Yan obviously didn't know what these people were afraid of. Seeing the scattered servants and the nervous butler, she asked Su Yu, who remained relatively calm, with a puzzled expression.

"Isn't this a bone? Looks like a pig's head! But why would there be a pig's head in the pit? Could someone have eaten a roasted suckling pig here?"

"It's just that they ate a roasted suckling pig—why be so afraid?"

Su Yu shook her head, while trembling she carefully moved the thing in the fishnet toward the shore, saying, "Butler Uncle, take Huo Huo away first, you must always stay with her, 'protect' her well!"

Su Yu emphasized the word "protect" when she said it. She believed the butler uncle could understand her meaning.

The butler worriedly looked at Su Yu, who had suddenly seemed very mature. He naturally knew that "protect" meant not letting Liang Yan know what was in the fishnet and why the servants were afraid. He glanced around. Those servants were even less calm than Su Yu, some even vomiting not far away.

Only the simple-minded Liang Yan knew nothing, which was still normal!

The butler called for bodyguards to come protect Su Yu, leading Liang Yan to leave. He had already called the Eldest Young Master right away, believing he could arrive quickly!

Liang Yan shook off the butler's hand, "Xiao Yu sis, why do I have to leave? What exactly is that thing?"

"Huo Huo, I'll explain later, quickly go with Butler Uncle back home to get my family! It's urgent! I only trust you!"

Upon hearing that, Liang Yan immediately dragged the butler away.

"Quick, let's go find Xiao Yu sis's mom and dad!"

The butler picked up Liang Yan, dashed to the car, quickly drove back to the villa, and handed her over to the elderly lady.

"Great-grandma, Xiao Yu wants to find her mom and dad!"

Yang Zhichun smiled kindly at Liang Yan, looked up and asked the butler, "Has Little Xi arrived?"

"Yes, I just received the news—the Eldest Young Master is already at the scene."

The butler looked at Liang Yan, "Miss Su Yu asked me to protect Miss Liang Yan."

"I understand, I'll take good care of her—you go get busy!"

"Okay!"

The butler immediately rushed to the reception room to comfort those frightened servants.

……

When Su Xi arrived, Su Yu was directing two bodyguards to take the servants to the manor's ordinary reception room to await police questioning. She also had the other two bodyguards fetch the railing that prevented her from playing in the sand, to cordon off the area.

"Xiao Yu!"

Su Xi got out of the car, rushed over, and hugged the somewhat trembling Su Yu, "It's okay, leave it to me!"

Su Yu trembled, "We haven't called the police yet!"

She didn't call the police right away. She worried that summoning the wrong people would cause trouble for her uncle.

"I'll handle it!"

Su Xi handed Su Yu over to Ji Yan, who had arrived later, and took over command of the scene.

Su Yu buried herself in Ji Yan's embrace. Ji Yan felt the dampness on her clothes, quickly held her to another side, and softly soothed, "It's okay, it's okay, Mom is here, we're all here!"

Wulongcha felt guilty. It's all because it didn't look carefully! It had just gone to look, and indeed there was a large gold ring, but that ring happened to be stuck on the jawbone of the skull. Wulongcha guessed that at the time it saw the exposed part of the ring, while the rest was blocked by silt and aquatic plants.

Even with Ji Yan's comfort, Su Yu, living in a peaceful era, still found it hard to accept a real skull.

She had even fished it out with her own hands……

The huge shock of gold turning into a skull left her feeling somewhat dazed.

Su Yu didn't know how long had passed; in her mother's soothing voice, a gentle voice appeared. She looked up—it was a soft-featured policewoman, "Little one, why would you want to come play here?"

This place is rather remote, and over there there's a large constructed pond. Su Yu coming here to play is indeed a bit strange.

"There are lots of stupid fish here!"

The policewoman nodded in her mind; those fish were indeed quite stupid. While watching the drainage pump work at the excavation site, she saw the fish not knowing to swim with the current to the big pond, instead staying foolishly in place, and some even swimming toward the wall.

"After you fished the thing up, what did you do with it?"

"I had Butler Uncle take Huo Huo away, had the bodyguard uncles take the other uncles and aunts to wait in the rooms for the police, and then had the bodyguard uncles cordon off that area."

"How would a little kid think to cordon it off?"

"When we were heading home, we saw that Toy City was also fenced off."

Seeing Su Yu's low spirits, the policewoman didn't continue asking where Toy City was. The child said, "We," which surely meant there were adults present, so just ask the adults.

After Su Yu finished her statement, Ji Yan hugged her back to the villa.

"Xiao Yu sis, what's wrong with you?"

"I'm a bit hungry, I want to eat fruit."

Ye Shu, standing aside as a decoration, almost wanted to say, "Creating heaven and earth for the first time, you actually want to eat fruit!"

When he ate with Su Yu, Su Yu wished she could stuff all the fruit into his mouth.

But seeing Su Yu's listless appearance, Ye Shu felt a bit guilty and didn't dare to speak.

He began to suspect whether his somewhat bewildering luck was affecting Su Yu. They had encountered accidents several times when going out, but that was fine; this time he wanted to borrow the manor's grounds from Su Xi to propose, yet a skeleton appeared in the manor—and it was Su Yu who personally fished it out.

Liang Yan, however, believed Su Yu's words, recalling that Su Yu looked listless when hungry, just like now.

"I want to eat fruit too!"

Su Yu and Liang Yan each ate from a plate of fruit. With their mouths full, Liang Yan forgot to ask what the bone beside the pit was.

Liang Lijiang quickly arrived at the Su family manor, found an excuse, and lured Liang Yan away.

……

At night, Su Yu lay in bed, leaning in Ji Yan's arm, her mind full of that skull.

【Wulongcha, who is the person buried in the pit?】
