Chapter 105: Deadly Birthday Gift The things in Liu Xiucai's bag made the five people feel more Mi was very thankful in his heart. Fortunately, he was quite capable. Otherwise, if he was hit with a mace, he would probably have died on the spot. Zhao Xiaofu and Jiang Xianglan both looked pale, their livers trembling slightly, and even Du E looked unhappy. The whip hit Su Mi's thick skin and flesh, and it directly tore some of his flesh. If it hit the girls' faces, wouldn't it directly disfigure them? Wu Xian’s eyes widened. This ugly old fat guy calls a mace a teaching stick? This was just a child's homework, but Su Mi's handwriting was barely acceptable? There was such a punishment for making a mistake in writing a single word? Now Wu Xian finally understood why the young master did this. This homework is indeed not that easy to complete, and it is too demanding on one's mental strength... “But if the coursework is so demanding, how am I supposed to complete it?” Wu Xian could force himself to do many things, but writing was not something that could be done beautifully by forcing himself... So he looked around secretly. Jiang Xianglan and Zhao Xiaofu on the left are worthy of being members of the calligraphy club. Their handwriting is even more beautiful than Su Mi’s. As long as there are no typos, they will definitely pass Liu Xiucai’s examination. Then he saw Du E again and almost laughed out loud.
Du E's handwriting looked like dog crawling and was several times uglier than Wu Xian's. Du E raised her head woodenly and looked at Wu Xian. There was a look of despair in his eyes. “Help…” Snapped! A whip shadow flashed by and hit Du E's smooth forehead, causing it to swell immediately. Liu Xiucai shouted fiercely: "No noise allowed!" Wu Xian immediately shut up, wrote a small note, and wanted to hand it to Jiang Xianglan, asking her to write one for him. Snapped! Wu Xian felt a sudden sharp pain in his arm. Liu Xiucai yelled again: "This is about the gift from the young master, do your own thing!" Wu Xian suddenly felt so angry that his teeth itched and he had the urge to kill the old man immediately. But he didn't know the old thing's strength, nor did he know the consequences of killing it, so he had to endure it for the time being. After a while. Su Mi wrote another article. This time his handwriting was neater than before, and he checked it several times and found no typos. Finally, Liu Xiucai stopped being demanding and gave Su Mi praise. Su Mi was given half a cup of tea to choose a birthday gift. The small compartments for the birthday gifts were arranged in an interesting way. As long as Wu Xian and his companions looked back, they could clearly see what was in the compartments. Su Mi walked around the compartments twice and found that there were five more things here than before. They were a small exquisite porcelain bottle, a string of bone beads, a fresh peach, a golden hairpin, and a pair of amulets with the word "longevity" written on them. After thinking for a moment, Su Mi chose to take the porcelain bottle. The porcelain bottle was placed in an iron rack, on which was a not-too-large millstone. Unless the millstone was moved away, one could only see the porcelain bottle but could not get it.
This is a strenuous job, but Su Mi is best at strenuous work. He hugged the millstone with both arms, his muscles bulging, and slowly took the millstone off the shelf and picked up the porcelain bottle, as if he had received a birthday gift. Su Mi chose to take the porcelain bottle after careful consideration. Among the five items, only this millstone is special, and only Su Mi can pick it up. If Su Mi does not choose this millstone, one of the other four people will be destined to not get the gift. After that, Su Mi was sent aside to read a book. Inspired by Su Mi, Zhao Xiaofu took the short essay she had written long ago and went to find Liu Xiucai, and successfully obtained the qualification. Zhao Xiaofu's tense heart finally relaxed. Then, as long as she picked any birthday gift, tonight would be over. She picked and chose in several rooms and finally stopped at the compartment with the fence and the cauldron. There was a mechanical lock on the fence, which required entering three digits to open. There is a line of words under the lock. 'At the age of 15, I was short of food and clothing - from the autobiography of Liu's grandmother.' Zhao Xiaofu smiled. Isn't this just a number puzzle? She took a quick look and entered the three numbers 159 into the combination lock, and it opened. There was a big pot inside, filled with cooking oil, and the golden hairpin was lying at the bottom of the pot. She saw that the oil was not boiling, so she tried to test it with a finger. 呲! "what!" Zhao Xiaofu let out a scream. She pulled her finger out instantly, but the skin on her fingertips had been burned. The calm oil pan in front of her suddenly became boiling, with billowing smoke rising. There were also some sharp thorns on the handle of the pan... Everyone who was watching Zhao Xiaofu's actions was shocked. Wu Xian's eyes darkened. It seemed that these birthday gifts were not so easy to get. Nothing happened after Su Mi moved the millstone away before, because this matter was difficult in itself and was already a test, so there was no need to add any tricks. But if you want to get other birthday gifts, it would be a bit dangerous. I'm afraid the remaining four compartments all contain some kind of illusion that hides the real danger. Zhao Xiaofu endured the pain and left the small cubicle. There were sharp spikes on the handle of the iron pot, so she couldn't pour out the hot oil even if she wanted to. This gift has a pitfall. The others probably won’t be easy either. The longevity peaches were placed in a very deep and narrow cabinet with a curtain on the edge of the cabinet and a bulge inside. If one wanted to take the longevity peaches out, one had to at least put his head and arms into the cabinet. You can't poke it out with a small stick. If this small cabinet suddenly changes, the consequences will not be as simple as burning your fingers.
The bone beads are placed inside a pile of ropes. You just need to pull the ropes apart and pick them out. But Zhao Xiaofu had a good memory. She stared at them for a while and found that the ropes were all of different thicknesses. The longest was only about one meter long, and they were occasionally moving slightly. This could be a bunch of snakes and worms! Therefore, Zhao Xiaofu now has only one choice. She looked at the last compartment. This compartment was very simple, with only one chair and an amulet with the word "longevity" written on it placed on the beam with half of it sticking out. Zhao Xiaofu thought for a moment and felt that it would be best to accept this gift. So she took off one of her shoes and threw it at the top, trying to knock the amulet down, but the shoe did hit the amulet, but pushed the amulet inwards a little, and the shoe also stayed on top... at this time. Liu Xiucai said, "Hurry up, half a cup of tea is almost up. If you don't get the birthday gift, you will have no chance tonight." When Zhao Xiaofu heard this, she immediately lost her composure. If she couldn't get the amulet, wouldn't her hand be injured in vain? What are the consequences of not getting a birthday gift? Besides, her shoes were still on it, and how would she survive the rest of the room without them? So Zhao Xiaofu didn't care too much and just stepped on the stool. She was quite tall, so with the chair, she could just take the amulet down with her hands. Even if there is a sudden change on the beam or the stool, it will only hurt your hands and feet and you can stop the loss in time. But as soon as she stood on tiptoe, her face turned pale. Because she felt a cold rope around her neck... (End of this chapter)
