Chapter 90: The Mysterious Treasure Box
After leaving the village, Liu Yu and his group continued their journey. On this day, they arrived at an ancient castle.
The castle looked eerie and terrifying, with its gates tightly shut. Curious, Liu Yu stepped forward and gently pushed the gate, to her surprise, it opened.
They cautiously entered the castle, which was filled with an old and worn atmosphere.
As Liu Yu walked, she said, "This place feels strange. Is there any danger?"
Xu Xian comforted him, "Don't be afraid, we'll just be careful."
Suddenly, Xiaoqing noticed a strange painting on the wall. It depicted a mysterious treasure box, emitting an eerie light.
Xiaoqing said, "This treasure box looks unusual."
Liu Yu leaned closer to take a look: "Maybe there's some treasure hidden inside."
Just then, a voice rang in their ears: "To obtain the treasure box, you must pass three tests."
Liu Yu was startled: "Who's speaking?"
Xu Xian looked around and said, "I don't know, the sound seems to be coming from all directions."
The voice continued, "The first test is to answer my three questions. If you answer them incorrectly, you will be trapped here forever."
Liu Yu's heart tightened, but she still forced herself to say, "Okay, go ahead and ask."
The voice asked, "What is something that has a face but no mouth, feet but no hands, and though it has four legs, it can't walk on its own?"
Liu Yu thought for a moment: "The table!"
The voice then asked, "What can you eat if it's broken?"
Liu Yu blurted out: "Eggs!"
The voice asked again, "What is this square house with a door but no windows, hot outside and icy inside?"
Liu Yu scratched his head: "Refrigerator!"
The voice said, "Congratulations, you have passed the first test. The second test is to find a key in this castle."
Liu Yu and his friends began searching for the key throughout the castle. The castle had many rooms, and they searched for a long time without success.
Liu Yu complained, "Where exactly is this key hidden?"
Just when they were about to give up, Bai Suzhen discovered a hidden compartment in a corner. Opening the compartment, they found the key they were looking for.
The voice rang out again: "Good, you have passed the second test. The final test is to solve a riddle."
Liu Yu said, "Hurry up and give me the questions."
The voice said, "There's a word that everyone mispronounces. What is it?"
Liu Yu thought for a long time but still couldn't figure it out, and she was so anxious that she kept stamping her feet.
Xu Xian suddenly said, "It's the word 'wrong'."
The voice said, "Congratulations! You have passed all the tests and can receive the treasure box."
The treasure box appeared before them. Liu Yu excitedly opened the box, only to find that there was only a note inside.
Liu Yu unfolded the note and read: "Haha, you got tricked!"
Liu Yu jumped up in anger: "What kind of stupid test is this? All my hard work was for nothing!"
Everyone was left speechless, both amused and exasperated.
Just then, the castle began to shake violently, as if it were about to collapse.
Liu Yu shouted, "Run!"
They ran desperately out, and finally managed to escape the castle.
Liu Yu, panting heavily, said, "This castle is such a rip-off, I'm never coming here again."
They continued walking and came to a small town.
A cooking competition is being held in town, and Liu Yu said, "Let's go and join in the fun."
At the competition venue, the aroma of various delicacies filled the air.
Liu Yu saw a chef preparing a strange dish and asked curiously, "What kind of dish is this?"
The chef said, "This is my secret recipe, called 'Seven-Colored Dream Soup'."
Liu Yu said, "This name sounds pretty impressive."
The chef served the soup to the judges, who took a sip and their expressions turned very unpleasant.
Liu Yu couldn't help but laugh: "This soup doesn't look very good."
At this moment, Liu Yu's attention was drawn to the roast duck made by another chef.
He was about to reach for it when the chef slapped his hand: "The evaluation isn't finished yet, don't move."
Liu Yu smiled awkwardly.
The competition ended, and the braised pork made by an older woman won the championship.
Liu Yu said, "This braised pork looks really good."
They left the competition venue and continued to stroll around the town.
Suddenly, Liu Yu saw a pet stall with puppies, kittens, and rabbits.
Liu Yu really liked a chubby little dog and wanted to buy it.
The stall owner said, "This puppy is very expensive."
Liu Yu haggled with the stall owner for a long time before finally buying the puppy.
The puppy kept licking Liu Yu's face in his arms, and Liu Yu smiled and said, "This little guy is so cute."
They continued their journey with the puppy, unaware of what exciting adventures awaited them in the future...
