Chapter 266 House Arrest
Grandpa Peng smiled, "Xinglu! We will meet sooner or later! Before the big thing is done, let's put aside the romantic matters for now!"
Ma Liu was very disappointed, but he didn't dare to mention it again.
Unexpectedly, Mr. Peng said again: "However, Alan can stay and accompany Yan Zi! Yan Zi has been drawing maps recently and her health is not very good. If there is someone to talk to her, she may feel better."
Ma Liu was shocked.
Su Tong was even more surprised.
Qin Yi pulled Su Tong towards him, stretched out his hand to gather her into his cloak, and said: "Everyone knows that I, Zhou Yi, and Alan have never been separated. We advance together and retreat together."
Grandpa Peng smiled and said, "I know, I know! I know you two have a good relationship! But Ayi, you just saw that this trip into the mountains is full of difficulties, traps and dangers!"
"I also sympathize with Alan because she's a girl. There's no need for her to run around with a bunch of stinky men. Isn't it better for me to wait for you to come back comfortably at home?"
Qin Yi stared at Mr. Peng and did not respond.
But Mr. Peng said directly to Su Tong: "Okay! Your man can't bear to leave you, so you should persuade him well. Don't go back, just stay here! I won't disturb you two from saying goodbye!"
"Old Yang, wait here. I'll take Alan to see Yan Zi later."
After saying this, he walked away leisurely.
The middle-aged man who had been standing behind Mr. Peng whispered:
"Yes! Master Peng!"
Su Tong understood that Master Peng was not going to let him go.
But she was a little unsure of his intentions.
Hostage? Want to use "Alan" to contain "Zhou Yi"?
There are five gangs that can participate, and no one else is allowed to stay.
She looked back at Qin Yi, and there was a hint of anger in Qin Yi's eyes.
Alan didn't have to take the risk, but he shouldn't be left here by Peng Ye like this.
The people from various gangs have gradually dispersed, and every corner of the cave is now filled with people wearing Qiang costumes and holding spears.
But now, not to mention that they have no weapons at all, they don’t even know where the cave is or how to get out.
It's not time to fall out yet.
Su Tong shook his head at Qin Yi and said:
"Brother Yi! I'll stay here! Maybe I'll go see Yan Zi! I'll wait for you to come back here!"
Qin Yi lowered his head and looked at her steadily, his eyes filled with surging emotions, as if he had a thousand words to say.
He pulled Su Tong into his arms and hugged her tightly.
Ma Liu sighed and turned aside.
Seeing Old Yang standing there like a tree stump, he went up to him and tried to pull him, but failed.
"Hey! Hey, brother! They are saying goodbye to each other, so we'd better stay away from them!"
Old Yang glanced at Ma Liu with contempt, then looked at the two people hugging each other over there. After a long while, he finally moved his feet and walked a few steps to the side.
Qin Yi looked up, then pulled Su Tong aside and said to her softly:
"I have something very important to tell you."
Su Tong nodded repeatedly, "You tell me!"
Qin Yi looked into Su Tong's eyes and said seriously:
"I've been wanting to find a better occasion and time to tell you, but I can't wait any longer. I don't want you to feel uneasy and have wild thoughts after we separate."
Then, he pulled Su Tong into his arms again and whispered softly in her ear:
"Tong! Remember, I have you in my heart! Only you! And only you! It will never change, whether now or in the future! You must believe in me unwaveringly!"
Su Tong didn't expect that at such a critical moment, his "very important words" would be these.
Her eyes immediately turned red.
Qin Yi continued: "No matter what you hear or see later, you must remember what I just said!"
"Boss Zhou! It's getting late! It's time to go!" Old Yang couldn't wait and started urging him.
Qin Yi had to let go of Su Tong and looked at her eyes greedily.
Su Tong's eyes were full of tears and she smiled at Qin Yi.
"Brother Yi! I remember everything! Is there anything else you want to tell me?"
"Yes! Protect yourself!"
Then he whispered in her ear: "And, I love you!"
Su Tong's tears flowed down.
Someone came over with a black hood.
Qin Yi lowered his head, kissed her eyes gently and reluctantly, and had to turn around and leave.
Ma Liu stepped forward and put a chain that he had already held in his hand into Su Tong's hand, saying:
"Give this to Yan Zi! Tell her I'm fine! Yan Zi...I'm leaving it to you!"
After saying that, he was also taken away.
Su Tong stood there blankly until their figures disappeared in a corner of the cave.
She calmed down her fluctuating emotions, smiled widely, and said silently in her heart:
"Brother Yi! Me too!"
——————
Lao Yang took Su Tong through tunnels in the cave.
Su Tong was surprised to find that most of the caves here were naturally formed, but the tunnels were artificially excavated. The project was so huge that it almost hollowed out an entire mountain.
If you are not familiar with it, you will definitely get lost if you move around in it.
After many twists and turns, Lao Yang brought her to a "room". It was called a room, but it was actually a smaller cave.
There are all kinds of facilities inside.
When she saw Lao Yang turning around to leave, she hurriedly called out to him, "Aren't you going to take me to see Yan Zi?"
"Wait for notification."
Old Yang threw out three words, turned around and left.
All she could see here were Qiang people wearing Qiang costumes and speaking a language she could not understand.
She once again witnessed Peng Ye's cunning. Qiang language was like a foreign language in front of these "Han people".
There was no way to communicate, let alone find out anything.
The people here did not restrict her movements. She tried walking to both sides, but soon she discovered sadly that no matter which direction she walked, she would end up back here.
There must be some hidden signs here, and people who are not familiar with it can't get out at all.
It seems that they want to put her under "house arrest".
Since it's futile to find a way out.
Su Tong simply went to bed and slept soundly.
Recharge your energy and be flexible.
There was no light in the cave, and oil lamps were lit during the day.
It was not until around six o'clock the next afternoon that a Qiang man came to her room and started gesturing and demonstrating.
Judging from the gesture, it should mean to follow him.
I followed the man through the winding tunnel and walked for about twenty minutes until I arrived at the door of another "room".
The man pointed inside and turned away.
Su Tong pushed the door open and saw someone lying on the bed.
When she got closer, she could see clearly that there was a thin woman lying on the bed.
Hearing the noise, the woman opened her eyes slightly but did not stand up.
This is a woman with a rather classical appearance, with delicate eyebrows, a thin jaw, and somewhat pale skin. She looks like a fragile piece of porcelain. She is not the most beautiful, but she has great charm.
Su Tong waited for a while and saw that the woman had no intention of greeting her.
She finally said, "Swallow? Are you Swallow?"
The woman seemed a little surprised. She opened her eyes again and looked at Su Tong.
"Who are you? How do you know my nickname?"
"Nickname?" Su Tong didn't know that Yan Zi was just a nickname.
She silently took out the chain that Ma Liu gave her and held it up.
Then, she saw Yan Zi's expression became visibly excited, and her pale face seemed to turn red in an instant.
"Alu! He, he's here! Where is he?"
"He's gone with Master Peng to look for treasure. He'll come back to see you when he finds it."
"Treasure?"
Yan Zi sneered, "Where did the treasure come from! They are all lies!"
