Chapter 378 Cave
Tang Bao originally wanted to see if he could find some wandering ghosts and learn some unknown secrets about the labor camp from them...
But after observing carefully for a while, she found that the soldiers in charge of guarding the labor camp had either been on the battlefield or had done many evil things... In short, they were all full of hostility and carried evil spirits.
In addition, it was broad daylight and the yang energy was strong, so few ghosts dared to come out.
Even if she occasionally caught a glimpse of one or two vague shadows, they were huddled in the shadows in the distance. It was not convenient for her to go over and grab them and ask questions in public.
The little fellow's eyes fell again on the heavy, jingling bunch of keys at the guard's waist.
If I could get the key, I might be able to open many doors and explore more...
As soon as this thought came to his mind, Tang Bao shook his head vigorously.
The door was locked from the outside, how could she open it? Besides, wasn't she missing the key? What she lacked was the opportunity to walk freely.
Oh! If only she could become invisible or use sleight of hand...
At this moment, the little fellow suddenly missed Master Yanli even more...Master, Master, where have you been? Don't you want Tangbao anymore?
After thinking about it, Tang Bao felt that the first thing he had to do was to get rid of the surveillance of those soldiers.
After making up her mind, she began to quietly observe the gaps between the supervisors' inspections and the blind spots of the guards' vision.
Under the pretext of moving gravel, she moved slowly towards the sparse bushes at the edge of the quarry.
Just as she saw the opportunity and was about to duck into the bushes, a warm hand gently grabbed her wrist.
Tang Bao's heart skipped a beat and he turned around suddenly, meeting Yun Yian's eyes filled with worry.
He didn't say anything, but quickly took her into the woods.
"Brother Yi'an, where are you taking me?" Tang Bao lowered her voice, her little hand held tightly by Yun Yi'an. They walked quickly on the rugged mountain road, and there was a risk of stepping on gravel and falling at any time.
"There is an abandoned cave not far away. I discovered it secretly before, and no one knew about it." Yun Yian said in a hurried but clear voice without turning his head.
Tang Bao didn't want him to accompany her, "Brother Yi'an, in their eyes, I'm a dying person..."
"If I disappear, the Du family will be implicated at most... They are not good people, so it is not unfair for them to suffer a little..."
"But you, if you disappear, won't it implicate Uncle Wei and the others?" The little guy panted.
The Wei family is actually quite nice. It's said that when Wei Qingdai was caught cheating, she played an "indispensable role"...
But more than a hundred people in the Wei family were implicated, and not only did no one blame her, they even worked together to help her last night!
Yun Yian stopped and touched her head, then raised the corners of his lips and smiled beautifully.
"The soldiers in charge of guarding us didn't keep a close eye on us kids... and there were wolves nearby, so they knew we wouldn't dare run too far..."
"Besides, you had previously instructed the escorting soldiers to take good care of us. You and the Third Prince also gave them a lot of silver, so they helped us take care of things."
"In short, the guards weren't overly harsh on the Wei family... but two people disappearing at the same time is too obvious, and the guards would easily notice... so we can't disappear for too long. We have to return in an hour at most!"
Yun Yian knew in his heart that Tang Bao was so smart that she would be able to defeat two or three kidnappers... She must have come here for him!
In this case, he must accompany her and protect her even if it costs his own life. He cannot let her get hurt, and certainly not let her face danger alone!
The two children gathered their strength and went around a dense patch of thorns, and a narrow cave half-hidden by vines suddenly appeared at the foot of the mountain wall.
Yun Yian pushed aside the vines and quickly pulled Tang Bao in.
No matter what she wants to plan or prepare, this is the safest place!
The interior of the cave is much more spacious than the entrance, but it is cold, damp and dimly lit.
Before Tang Bao's eyes adjusted to the darkness, she felt a chilling and piercing aura rushing towards her, with a fierce momentum... She instantly became alert and pulled Yun Yian behind her.
The next moment, when she raised her head and glared at the front, her whole body shuddered and her mouth opened wide in shock!
The cave was filled with shadowy figures and was filled with ghosts in various miserable states and filled with resentment!
Some of them had limbs bent unnaturally, some were soaked and dripping with water, and some had faces so bloody and mangled that their features were barely visible...
Behind their miserable deaths, they all had one thing in common, that is, their souls were all broken and bloody, and they were surrounded by thick and insoluble black resentment!
Tang Bao took a breath and subconsciously took half a step back.
Her shock was like dropping cold water into boiling oil, instantly making the entire cave boil!
The ghosts who were originally immersed in misery and sobbing and wailing suddenly became quiet, and then all their empty, bleeding eyes focused on Tang Bao with incredible ecstasy and greed!
Ghosts, so numerous that it was impossible to tell at a glance, rushed towards Tang Bao. The one in the front, the moment it touched the little guy, instantly began to emit black gas from the burning, and screamed heartbreakingly.
"What are you?!"
"You are the piece of shit! Your whole family is a piece of shit!!"
Xian Tangbao put one hand on his waist and held Yun Yian with the other hand, his young face full of anger.
"You can see us?!"
"She can see us! This living being can really see us!"
Seeing that the little girl in front of them was extraordinary, all the ghosts were either shocked or happy, and almost went crazy.
At the same time, all the ghosts who were obsessed with the idea did not give up and cautiously gathered around her again. Although they did not dare to touch her, it seemed that they were about to drown Xiao Tangbao!
"Master, calm down! We have absolutely no intention of harming anyone, otherwise the child behind you wouldn't be alive today!"
Hearing what they said, Tang Bao's big eyes rolled around, and the tense string in his mind relaxed a little.
"No living person has ever seen a ghost here... Please, Heavenly Master, have mercy! Please, Heavenly Master, have mercy! Help us fulfill our last wish!"
Tang Bao: “…” Oh?
It’s not impossible, it just depends on what they want.
"Tell me, I helped you, what can you give me?"
As soon as Tang Bao finished speaking, the ghosts were boiling again...
“We want to be buried in peace!”
"We don't want our bodies to be left exposed in the wilderness, with even our remaining bones being gnawed by wild beasts!"
"We don't want to wander around here broken and incomplete, bound here forever!"
"In the back mountain...a mass grave...please, Master, sort out our remains and bury us. I beg you, Master!"
Shrill, sharp, and longing cries of pleading came from all directions, making Tang Bao's eardrums hurt!
Looking at the ghosts that kept coming out of the stone wall, her eyes suddenly widened and she couldn't help but hesitate...
