My husband disappeared after a flash marriage, but I am pregnant with his child

Chapter 214 Looking for treasure

Following the clues, the children came to an ancient courtyard.

The courtyard wall is tightly wrapped with green vines. When you walk into the courtyard, the colorful flowers and plants come into view. They sway gently in the breeze, emitting bursts of charming fragrance.

In the center of the courtyard, an ancient well stands quietly, and the stone at the wellhead has been polished smooth and round by time.

Huo Siqian's eyes were fixed on the ancient well, with curiosity and expectation flashing in his eyes. There seemed to be a flame burning in his heart, and a strong intuition told him that the treasure might be hidden in this ancient well.

"I think the treasure might be in the well." Huo Siqian shouted excitedly, his voice full of excitement and anticipation. His heartbeat involuntarily quickened, as if he had already seen the treasure waving at him.

However, Lawrence Lu's face showed a hint of fear. He looked at the deep ancient well, and an inexplicable fear surged in his heart.

"Is there any danger in the well?" he muttered softly, with a slight tremor in his voice.

All kinds of terrible scenes emerged in his mind, the dark bottom of the well, and the unknown dangers made him shudder.

Lawrence Lu bit his lips tightly, his heart full of contradictions. On the one hand, he longed to search for treasures with his friends and experience the excitement of adventure, but on the other hand, he was afraid of encountering danger and getting himself into trouble.

"We just need to be careful." Lin Xiaoxuan said gently, her eyes firm and brave. She looked at Huo Siqian and Lawrence Lu with encouragement in her eyes, and then patted Lawrence Lu's shoulder gently, as if telling him not to be afraid, we will face it together.

After some discussion, they finally decided to go down the well to find out what was going on.

However, when Lawrence Lu was about to go down the well, the fear in his heart surged up again, his steps trembled slightly, and his eyes were full of hesitation, as if there were two little men arguing fiercely, one little man told him to be brave and look for treasure with his friends, while the other little man told him to be cautious and not to take risks.

“I still don’t dare.” Lawrence Lu said in a low voice, his voice full of helplessness, his face was a little pale, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

Huo Siqian and Lin Xiaoxuan couldn't help but feel a little angry.

"Yuxuan, why are you so timid? We are not afraid, why should you be afraid?" There was a hint of blame in their words.

Huo Siqian’s heart was full of confusion. He didn’t understand why Lawrence Lu was so timid. In his opinion, treasure hunting was a very exciting and interesting thing and should not be blocked by fear. Lin Xiaoxuan was also a little disappointed. She originally thought that Lawrence Lu would face the difficulties bravely with them, but she didn’t expect him to retreat at the critical moment.

Lawrence Lu felt very aggrieved, his eyes slightly red.

"I'm not a coward, I'm just worried that we will encounter danger. My father said that we can't take risks." There was a hint of stubbornness in his voice, and his heart was full of contradictions and pain. He didn't want to disappoint his friends, but he didn't want to go against his father's teachings.

Just as they were arguing, Lu Mingxuan finally couldn't help but walked over with a warm smile on his face and his eyes full of encouragement.

"Yuxuan, you have to be brave. Dad believes you can do it." Lu Mingxuan's voice was low and powerful, as if it gave Lu Yuxuan infinite strength. Lu Yuxuan looked at his father and felt a little moved. "Dad, can I really do this?" There was a hint of uncertainty in his voice.

Lu Mingxuan squatted down, patted Lu Yuxuan's shoulder gently, and said earnestly: "Yuxuan, do you know? Being brave is not about not being afraid, but moving forward even if you are afraid.

Look at your friends, they were also afraid, but they did not back down. If you are always so timid, what will you do when you encounter greater difficulties in the future? Do you have to hide behind others all the time?

Dad knows that you are very smart and capable. As long as you are brave, you can do it. If you can't even overcome this little difficulty, how can you become a man in the future? "

Encouraged by Lu Mingxuan, Lawrence Lu finally plucked up the courage, took a deep breath, and a determined light flashed in his eyes.

"Dad, I understand. I want to be brave."

Followed by.

The three children carefully climbed down the rope at the wellhead. The well walls were wet and emitted a damp smell.

In the dim light, they carefully looked for clues to the treasure. Sure enough, at the bottom of the well, they found some strange symbols and patterns, which seemed to be clues to the treasure.

However, these clues pointed to a more difficult challenge. They needed to pass through a dark cave full of various traps and obstacles. The children looked at the dark and deep cave entrance with some fear in their hearts.

Huo Siqian bit his lip, his eyes revealing firm determination.

"We must not be afraid, we will definitely find the treasure." His voice echoed in the silent air.

Lawrence Lu also nodded, “Yes, we must be brave.” Although his voice was still trembling, it was full of courage.

Although Lin Xiaoxuan was afraid, she didn't want to give up. She said in a gentle but firm voice: "Let's go together."

They walked into the cave carefully. The cave was damp and cold. There was a smell of decay in the air. Strange noises were heard from time to time, as if some mysterious creature was spying on them in the dark.

The children huddled together tightly, their hearts filled with tension. Suddenly, a trap was triggered, and a huge rock rolled down from the top of the cave. They were so scared that they dodged quickly, their hearts beating like drums.

Huo Siqian observed the surroundings calmly, his eyes sharp and focused, his voice steady and calm: "Everyone be careful, there are many traps here."

They continued forward and came across another narrow passage that only one person could pass through.

Huo Siqian looked at the passage with some hesitation in his heart, but he quickly made up his mind and decided to go over and take a look at the situation. He crawled through the passage carefully. The passage was filled with dust, making it difficult for him to breathe.

When he finally climbed to the other side of the passage, he found a huge pool there. The water in the pool was deep and dark, and he didn't know how deep it was.

Huo Siqian hesitated for a moment. He didn't know what to do. Then he remembered that he could ask his parents for help. He shouted toward the cave entrance, "Mom, we're in trouble."

His voice echoed in the cave, carrying a hint of anxiety and anticipation.

Qiao Qin and other parents heard the children's cries and rushed over. When they saw the deep, dark pool in front of the children and the worry and fear on the children's faces, they also felt deeply worried.

"Children, don't be afraid. We'll find a solution together." Qiao Qin's gentle yet firm voice was full of encouragement and comfort.

She walked over to the children and gently stroked Huo Siqian's head, her eyes full of concern.

"This pool looks so deep, how can we get across?" Lin Yue frowned, looking worried.

"Why don't we find some planks to build a bridge?" Lu Mingxuan suggested, looking at the pool from time to time, as if estimating its width.

"No, there aren't so many suitable wooden boards here." Qiao Qin shook his head and rejected the suggestion.

The children also joined in the discussion. "Can we swim over there?" Lin Xiaoxuan mustered up her courage and asked curiously.

"We don't know how deep the water is, and we don't know if it's safe. It's too risky to swim across." Lin Yue responded immediately.

Everyone discussed various methods, but none of them seemed feasible.

At this time, Qiao Qin stood up, thought for a while and said: "We can tie them together with a rope, so that even if someone accidentally slips, others can hold him."

After hearing this, everyone thought this method was feasible, so they started taking ropes out of their backpacks.

Lu Mingxuan skillfully unrolled the rope and said to the children, "Don't be afraid, we will definitely get through safely."

Qiao Qin helped check whether the rope was strong. While she was busy, she said, "We need to tie the rope tighter to ensure everyone's safety."

Under the guidance of their parents, the children also took action. They carefully tied the ropes around their waists. Although there was still some nervousness on their faces, there was more determination in their eyes.

"Everyone must hold the rope tightly and don't let go." Qiao Qin reminded again.

"Okay. We'll be careful." The children answered in unison.

Finally, with everyone's joint efforts, they decided to tie themselves together with a rope and go across the pool one by one.

Lu Mingxuan was the first to try. He held the rope tightly and took careful steps. The others stood by and watched him closely, ready to lend a helping hand at any time.

Lawrence Lu’s little face was full of nervousness, and he kept encouraging him from behind: “Come on, Dad, you can do it.”

Lu Mingxuan moved forward step by step, and finally successfully reached the other side of the pool. He waved his hands excitedly and said to his friends behind him: "Don't be afraid, it's very safe."

With his encouragement, the children successfully crossed the pool one by one. Qiao Qin and Lin Yue were the last to pass. They always held the rope tightly to ensure the safety of the children.

With the help of their parents, the children finally managed to pass the pool. They continued to move forward, and after a difficult trek, they finally found the location of the treasure.

It turned out that the treasure was in an ancient tower at the highest point of the mountain city.

The tower stands at the highest point of the mountain city, like a silent guardian, overlooking the entire mountain city. The ancient bricks and stones exude historical charm in the sun, and the wind chimes on the tower sway gently in the breeze, making crisp sounds.

The children cheered excitedly, and the cheers seemed to break through the sky. The light of victory flashed in their eyes, as dazzling as bright stars.

Huo Siqian's face flushed with excitement. He jumped and shouted, "We did it! The treasure is just ahead!"

His eyes were wide open, full of excitement and anticipation; his fists were clenched and waving constantly, and he couldn't wait to run towards the tower, his steps as light as a happy deer.

Lawrence Lu was also very excited. He turned to look at his father, Lu Mingxuan, with a proud smile on his face. "Dad, we succeeded!"

Lu Mingxuan looked at his son, his eyes full of satisfaction, patted Lu Yuxuan's shoulder gently, and said with a smile: “Son, you are awesome!”

Lawrence Lu became even more excited after receiving his father’s praise, and he took big strides and ran towards the tower.

Lin Xiaoxuan covered her mouth with her hands, tears of surprise in her eyes.

"We really found it!" Her voice trembled a little, and a bright smile broke out on her face. She skipped and jumped behind her friends, imagining what the treasure looked like, her heart full of curiosity and excitement.

When they arrived at the tower, they found that the door of the tower was locked with a heavy lock.
