The boss is five and a half years old, and wealthy families are vying for his favor.

Chapter 41 Longevity Turtle Monument

The statue is ten meters high and at least four meters wide. Adults have to look up at it. It is undoubtedly a huge thing for children.

The main body of the statue is a turtle, a black turtle to be precise, but the four claws supporting the ground are like duck paws, the head is like a turtle or a dragon, and the eyes are fierce. A thick snake is entangled on the back of the turtle, and the erect body is close to it. A stone tablet carried on a turtle shell.

"Is this a monster?" He Yufu was a little scared, and grabbed Jiang Ao's sleeve.

"Hahaha! Big monster!" Li Jiazuo excitedly wanted to get a closer look.

Jiang Ao comforted He Yufu gently, but felt a little regretful: Why wasn't Wan Wan afraid?He also wants to be relied on by Wanwan!

Jiang Wan didn't know what he was thinking, she was looking at the written description standing next to the statue.

In ancient mythology, Xuanwu is a spiritual creature composed of a turtle and a snake, and represents the god of the north. However, in myths and legends, there is another animal that looks very much like a turtle, and that is Baxia.Baxia is also called 赑(bì)屃(xì). He is one of the nine sons of the dragon. He often appears as carrying a stone tablet. So, is the statue in front of you Xuanwu or Baxia, or a combination of the two? , remains to be debated.

Jiang Wan said it was "unlike", and to a certain extent, he was right.

Because the turtle is a symbol of longevity, this statue is called the "Longevity Turtle Monument".

Tong Ya: "Congratulations, Mengbao, for finding the legendary beast! Although the handwriting on the Shougui Stele has been exposed to the wind and sun for a long time, it can no longer be seen from its original appearance, but it can be vaguely seen that it is a word 'Shou', So there is a custom that has been handed down: touch the longevity tortoise stele, and pray for longevity for yourself and your family - it is said that the higher you touch, the more longevity you will have. Cute babies, come and touch the longevity tortoise stele. !"

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Jiazhuo jumped up. Touching it once was not enough, he jumped higher and higher. He was hardly touching the monument anymore, he just wanted to jump higher.

He Yufu was still a little scared. She touched the turtle's feet lightly and hid aside.

Liu Tianxiang hesitated and came to Jiang Ao: "Brother Jiang Ao, can you lift me up?"

"Of course, I have great strength." Jiang Ao let out a hey, and lifted Liu Tianxiang above his head.

Liu Tianxiang couldn't help but exclaimed: "Wow - brother Jiang Ao, you are so awesome."

"It's nothing." Jiang Ao smugly looked at Jiang Wan with his small eyes. What shocked him was that Wan Wan didn't notice how mighty he was at all!

Jiang Wanzai touched the statue seriously.

She closed her eyes and recited the names of her family members silently, reciting the words sincerely. When she opened her eyes, she saw Fang Yuqian who was stupefied. She grabbed his hand and rubbed it on the statue twice to express meaning.

"Wanwan..." Jiang Ao's resentful voice rang in Jiang Wan's ears.

Jiang Wan was startled, "Second brother?"

"Wanwan, don't you want to touch the high places?" Jiang Ao made a gesture of raising his arms, hinting frantically.

"..." Jiang Wan stretched out her arms to him helplessly, "Second brother, hug me."

Jiang Ao suddenly felt as if he had been given a shot of blood, carrying Jiang Wan and letting her sit on his shoulders.

Ride the shoulder!

He is the first in his family!
Jiang Wan can imagine Jiang Ao's expression without looking.

She obviously thought her second brother looked like a cunning fox when they first met. Why did he act like a stupid fox salivating over a pheasant when he was in front of her?

"Are Wanwan afraid of heights? Second brother lifts the iron every day, and he can carry it very reliably. If Wanwan is afraid, you can grab the second brother's hair... Wanwan won't grab it? Aren't you afraid?" Jiang Ao began to hint strongly again.

Jiang Wan twitched the corner of her mouth and said, "My hand is touching the longevity turtle monument."

"Okay." Jiang Ao was very sorry.

Holding the thought of "it's all here", Jiang Wan touched the turtle shell and prayed earnestly again. After opening her eyes, she subconsciously looked up at the stone tablet.

Just like Tong Ya said, the stone tablet has been exposed to wind and rain for a long time, and the surface has been eroded into pits. Some writing can be vaguely discerned, but she looked left and right and couldn't make out the word "Shou" that Tong Ya said.

"Second brother, it's done." Jiang Wan shook her leg, signaling Jiang Ao to put herself down.

Jiang Ao regretfully and slowly put Jiang Wan down, then looked at Fang Yuqian who was looking straight at them, and asked kindly: "Do you want to hold it high?"

Fang Yuqian ignored him and couldn't wait to hold Jiang Wan's hand again.

Jiang Ao almost couldn't hold back anymore: "..."

For a moment, Jiang Wan sympathized with Jiang Ao.

[Hahaha, what kind of drama is this?]

[Fang Yuqian is really good-looking. Although he doesn’t like to talk, I like him so much]

[It’s too late for him to be too clingy]

[Screenshot of Xiaowan praying seriously, so filial]

[National girl, love, love]

[Why doesn’t Jiang Ao look so smart?]

[Jiang Ao used to be set up by a cold and cold male god in school ahhhhh! 】

After touching the Shougui Monument, we will go to the next location.

Because the children found the longevity turtle monument much earlier than the program team expected, the museum staff were surprised when they arrived at the second location, the Ancient City Museum.

"Sorry, we have a few cultural relics that need to be moved, can you please wait for a while?" The old curator said apologetically, "Ah, why don't you go to visit first, and wait for us to finish moving things and empty the nave." To do the task for you..."

"Cough, cough, cough!" Liu Guiyan quickly interrupted him, and quickly glanced at Jiang Wan, afraid that Jiang Wan would guess the whole picture of the mission from just a few words.

Jiang Wan still didn't know what shadow she had left on Liu Guiyan, so she looked at the museum leisurely.

A staff member passed by carrying a wooden box, accidentally tripped over the cord of the photography equipment on the ground, and suddenly jumped forward——

Jiang Ao reacted quickly and immediately stood in front of Jiang Wan. This was entirely the sequelae of Germain and the kidnapping incident to Jiang's family.

"Second brother..." Jiang Wan was speechless, only to see the staff member bump into Jiang Ao, and the wooden box flew out of his hand, hit the ground hard, and cracked with a sound.

Jiang Ao was embarrassed and quickly helped the other person up: "Are you okay?"

"It's okay!" The staff member ignored the pain in his ankle and rushed over to pick up the wooden box. Unexpectedly, the bottom of the wooden box fell off completely, and the scattered pages fell off.

It was an old thread-bound book, with yellowing pages and almost light brown edges, showing its age.

Maybe it was because of the fall, or maybe the binding itself was loose. In short, the matter was irreversible. When the wind blew, the pages of the book went their own way.

One of the pages floated to Jiang Wan's feet.

"This, this... this is an ancient book that will be sent for restoration today." The old curator was heartbroken, "You are always clumsy, alas!"

Desperation was written in the staff's eyes, "I'm sorry! I'm sorry!"

"Let's help."

"Pick it up carefully, don't break it..."

Everyone worked together to collect the pages. The atmosphere was sad. The old curator sighed: "This was discovered together with the regional and county records from 600 years ago. The content on it is very important. Now... forget it, Xiaozhuang, you go to the hospital first. Look at the feet.”

Tears rolled in the eyes of the staff member called Xiao Zhuang, and she was almost overwhelmed by anxiety and guilt.

Jiang Wan glanced at the contents of the page in her hand, handed it to Xiao Zhuang, and comforted her: "Don't worry too much, this piece of hexagram says 'every disaster turns into good luck, the nobles help each other', the book will definitely be repaired .”

"Ah? Huh? Thank you, thank you..." Xiaozhuang took the paper with both hands in a daze.

Jiang Wan knelt down to pick up the others, and the old curator suddenly grabbed her excitedly: "What did you say! Hexagram text?! Do you understand it?!"
