Chapter 44: Tiaotiao's Preference



Xiao Yiju pulled Yang Quan and Jiang Yan to squat in front of the bridge.

"What's the story behind these eight bridges?"

Yang Quan looked at Xiao Yiju and asked.

Given previous experiences, no one would dare to step on it rashly even if there was a broad road ahead.

This is also the reason why Du Huwei asked Xiao Yiju to find a solution instead of sending people to try to cross the bridge.

After entering the underground palace, Du Huwei's men were lost too quickly, forcing him to be cautious.

Xiao Yiju glanced at Yang Quan: "How should I know?"

"If it was Tiaotiao, what would she choose?"

Looking at the guardrail that was obviously a bit short, Xiao Yiju narrowed his eyes.

Thinking about Tiaotiao's usual movements from the garage to the room when she gets home, besides hopping, it seems that Tiaotiao has another thing he particularly likes to do...

Xiao Yiju's eyes lit up.

He patted Yang Quan and said, "Want to make a bet?"

"Have you discussed this?"

Du Huwei was obviously a little anxious. He walked back and forth, looking at Xiao Yiju and the other two squatting on the ground whispering.

At this time, the ditch was as calm as before, and the man-eating ants returned underground.

Apart from the dozen or so corpses in the ditch, it seemed as if nothing had happened.

Xiao Yiju stood up, raised his hand and said, "Alright!"

After saying that, he was about to take Yang Quan and Jiang Yan away.

Qingyue stopped him: "You three go separately."

Obviously, if the three of them set out together, there would be a great possibility that they would escape after crossing the bridge which was dozens of meters long.

Xiao Yiju narrowed his eyes and said, "Why? We want the three of us to go together."

Qingyue smiled slightly, and suddenly kicked Xiao Yiju in the vitals.

Xiao Yiju grimaced in pain and squatted on the ground, unable to move.

Qingyue squatted down and pinched Xiao Yiju's chin. She smiled at first, but suddenly became fierce: "I gave you face, didn't I? Do you think we have a good relationship and can still bargain?"

After saying that, Qingyue stood up and said coldly: "Don't try to play tricks."

Xiao Yiju replied painfully, "I understand."

Then he stood up, asked Du Huwei for a torch, and walked towards the stone bridge.

The moment he turned around, Du Huwei clearly saw a hint of a successful smile on Xiao Yiju's lips.

Did I see it wrong?

Or did he actually laugh?

Why is he laughing?

Du Huwei frowned, thinking about all the possibilities.

Xiao Yiju came to the bridge, first stuck the torch on the ground on one side, then stretched his arms and legs.

Song Jinya said angrily: "What are you doing? In front of the Taoist priest and Mr. Du, I advise you not to play tricks?"

Xiao Yiju continued to exercise and said, "Of course it's to exercise the body."

Song Jinya said sarcastically, "Warming up before crossing a bridge? How useless are you to be like that?"

Xiao Yiju said angrily: "Then you come!"

Du Huwei's face turned pale and he said, "Alright! Now that you're ready, let's cross the bridge, okay?"

Xiao Yiju moved around for a full five minutes. Du Huwei's men had already started to switch to the third torch before he calmly picked up the torch and walked to a pink stone bridge.

Then, unexpectedly, Xiao Yiju did not walk onto the bridge, but slowly climbed up the guardrails on both sides of the stone bridge.

Then, Xiao Yiju, like all children under the age of seven, opened his arms and walked forward on the guardrail.

Qingyue narrowed her eyes and asked, "What's this kid up to?"

Just then, the team leader of the second team came up to report that the torches were almost used up, and only the last eight torches were left.

In the underground palace full of dangers, traveling without a torch would be tantamount to seeking death.

Du Huwei thought about it and ordered the other torches to be extinguished first, leaving only two torches to help Xiao Yiju cross the bridge.

Xiao Yiju was seen holding a torch and quickly crossed the bridge safely.

Then Xiao Yiju turned around and called out, "Okay, come over here."

Then Xiao Yiju quickly made a three gesture.

His movements were very small, and if Du Huwei and Qingyue did not have better eyesight than ordinary people, they might not have noticed it.

Song Jinya ordered the second team to light torches and let them go up the bridge.

The more Du Huwei thought about Xiao Yiju's actions, the more he felt something was wrong. He stretched out his hand and said, "Wait a minute!"

He whispered to Qingyue, "Please take that girl with you, Taoist Priest."

Qingyue understood and knew that Du Huwei suspected Xiao Yiju of doing something.

At this time, the only way to feel at ease was to separate the three people, so Du Huwei asked himself to take Jiang Yan with him and leave Yang Quan here to prevent any accidents.

A group of people climbed up the guardrail that Xiao Yiju had walked on and walked towards the other side.

Jiang Yan walked in front, and a soldier with a torch followed behind Jiang Yan to provide light. Qingyue followed behind the soldier with the torch, and the other members of the second team followed in turn, and finally the team leader with a torch came in.

“It’s so cold!”

On the shore, Yang Quan took off his coat and stood timidly next to the soldier holding the torch.

"What are you doing?"

Song Jinya shouted.

“It’s cold!”

When Yang Quan was on the ground, his outer clothes were soaked with sweat. When he came to this underground palace and was blown by the cold wind, they were already frozen as if they had just been taken out of the ice storage.

Song Jinya touched it and found it was indeed cold. He bared his teeth and sneered, "Idiot!"

Yang Quan was not angry. He just stood beside the torch and watched Jiang Yan and the others cross the bridge.

Qingyue and Du Huwei didn't take this little episode to heart.

Qingyue stared at Jiang Yan, while Du Huwei stared at Xiao Yiju without blinking, afraid that he would do something tricky.
