Chapter 193 Roadside Flowers and Grass
"Maybe the sound came from there." Meng Yanchen said, pointing at the wooden door.
The three of them walked to the door in tacit understanding. Irene carefully reached out her hand to push the door open, and the door creaked heavily. The light in the hall suddenly became dimmer, as if shrouded in a depressing atmosphere.
After entering the hall, they were shocked by the scene before them. The walls of the hall were covered with ancient oil paintings, and the characters in the paintings looked gloomy and creepy. In the middle of the hall was a long table covered with a thin layer of dust, and a few rickety chairs were scattered around it.
"It looks like no one has been here for a long time." Graham whispered, his eyes fixed on every corner of the hall.
Suddenly, an oil painting on the wall of the hall fell down with a dull crash. The three of them looked up suddenly and saw a mouse running away in panic from behind the picture frame.
"What secrets are hidden here?" Meng Yanchen frowned, his mind full of questions. They decided to continue exploring to see what was hidden in this ancient castle.
In a corner of the hall, they found a narrow staircase leading upstairs. The staircase wound up, as if leading to an unknown abyss. Meng Yanchen led them up step by step, and the staircase squeaked under their feet, as if telling an ancient story.
"Why is the air here getting heavier?" Irene clutched the handrail tightly, her brows slightly furrowed, her heartbeat quickening.
"Maybe we are getting closer." Graham looked around vigilantly, holding the sword tightly in his hand.
Finally, they reached the top of the stairs, and an ancient wooden door appeared before them. The door was engraved with mysterious runes, emitting an ancient energy. Meng Yanchen reached out and pushed the door open, and the door slowly opened, revealing an ancient and mysterious room.
In the middle of the room stood an old wooden table, on which stood an ancient bronze box. The box exuded an ancient light, as if telling its story.
"This is what we are looking for!" Meng Yanchen said excitedly. He walked forward and reached out to pick up the bronze box.
Just as his hand touched the box, a deep voice suddenly sounded in the room, as if it was a warning from ancient times. The three of them were startled, but still stared at the treasure box in front of them firmly.
"We finally found it. Now, how do we open it?" Irene's eyes sparkled with excitement. She couldn't wait to uncover the mystery of the box.
Graham pondered for a moment, then took out an ancient key from his pocket and inserted it into the lock of the box. With a slight sound, the box slowly opened, revealing the treasure inside.
The three of them were surprised to find a button-sized gem with ancient runes in the box. The gem emitted a mysterious light and seemed to contain endless power.
"This is the legendary mysterious gem!" Meng Yanchen said excitedly. They finally found the legendary treasure, but this is just a new beginning.
Under the light of the mysterious gem, they seemed to feel a mysterious power, which caused a slight throbbing in the depths of their hearts.
"This gem looks very ancient." Irene said softly, her eyes attracted by the gem, as if there were endless secrets hidden in it.
"What are we going to do with it?" Graham looked around at everyone. He knew that the power of this gem might be far beyond their imagination.
"Maybe we should take it and leave this place," suggested Meng Yanchen, who felt that the gem might bring unexpected good luck.
While they were discussing, suddenly, the walls of the room began to tremble, as if telling an ancient legend. They were startled and looked around at a loss, their hearts filled with fear and curiosity.
"Hurry, we have to get out of here!" Graham shouted loudly. He felt that the atmosphere in the room was becoming increasingly wrong.
They left the room in a hurry and descended rapidly along the staircase, the creaking of the staircase under their weight seemed to tell of an ancient myth.
Suddenly, a strong light shot out from the room, illuminating the entire hall. They turned around and saw that the room had completely disappeared, replaced by an empty space, with no trace of the room ever existing there.
They were full of doubts, but they also knew that this place was no longer safe, so they had to leave this mysterious place in a hurry and start a new adventure with the gems in their hands.
Meng Yanchen hurried back home with a large bag of groceries in his hands. He pushed open the door and was immediately surrounded by a fragrance. Mommy was busy in the kitchen, her nimble hands dancing by the stove, and a misty heat filled the whole room.
"Mommy, I'm back!" Meng Yanchen shouted happily, gently placing the grocery bag on the table.
Mommy turned around with a warm smile on her face, "Qiangqiang, you're back! Are you hungry? I'm making your favorite sweet and sour pork ribs."
Meng Yanchen smelled the fragrance in the air and couldn't help gurgling, "Mm, it smells so good! I have to treat myself well. I worked very hard today."
As he spoke, he walked to Mommy and hugged her gently. Mommy exuded a faint floral scent, which made Meng Yanchen feel inexplicably at ease and comfortable.
"Thank you for your hard work, Mommy." Meng Yanchen said softly, looking at her gratefully.
Mommy smiled and patted Meng Yanchen on the back. "Silly child, this little thing is nothing. Go wash your hands quickly, dinner will be ready soon."
Meng Yanchen nodded, let go of Mommy, and turned to the bathroom. After washing his hands, he returned to the living room and saw a new book on the table with a cup of hot tea next to it.
He was touched. Mommy was always so considerate and caring. He picked up the book, leaned back on the sofa, and began to savor the quiet time of the day.
At dinner, the table was filled with dishes that Mommy had carefully prepared. The sweet and sour spareribs were fragrant, the braised fish was delicious, and the cold cucumbers were refreshing and delicious...
Meng Yanchen and his mother sat together, happily enjoying the food. They exchanged bits and pieces of life from time to time, chatting and laughing, and a warm atmosphere filled the whole house.
The night fell quietly, and the sky was dotted with stars. Meng Yanchen and his mother walked out of the house and strolled in the quiet alley. The breeze blew by, bringing a hint of coolness, but it made them feel extremely comfortable.
They chatted leisurely, and occasionally stopped to admire the flowers and plants on the roadside. Although their life was ordinary, it was full of warmth and happiness because of each other's company.
