"The style of this secret passage looks different from the ones we've been through before." Sheng Nanxi poked her head in to take a few glances and spoke with suspicion.
"It looks like the style of the chaotic warring period decades ago..." Gu Yuancheng also leaned in to take a look and said with understanding.
"This land was painstakingly renovated by Queen Ningde five hundred years ago. In other words, this is just a backup map hidden behind the Bai Ancestral Hall. Theoretically, the wealthy families hidden in the past also have a map and tokens that can open these secret rooms."
"And the secret passage in front of us was built by a certain generation of people decades ago for some unknown purpose and connected to this secret room?"
"So... we think there are too few treasures hidden in these secret rooms. Maybe they have already been taken away by previous families?"
Based on the information they currently have, it seems that this is the only reasonable speculation.
But somehow, Gu Yuancheng still felt something was a little strange.
Sheng Nanxi felt the same way. But she couldn't think of a more reasonable explanation, so she could only say:
"Let's go check it out."
"good."
After Gu Yuancheng confirmed again and again that there was no trap in the secret passage behind, he protected her and jumped out.
Fortunately, the secret passage built later was not complicated. Even without a map, the two kids could easily deal with the hidden weapons that appeared from time to time.
However, along the way, apart from some traces of fighting and debris of different ages, no important clues were found.
Moreover, this secret passage leads all the way to the west, and it seems like an escape passage to get them out of the valley...
The more Xiao 녊太 walked forward, the more doubts she had. Suddenly, she heard Sheng Nanxi say:
"etc!"
Just now, in addition to the extremely light footsteps of the two people, she seemed to hear other sounds!
The chubby girl frowned. She suddenly teleported with Gu Yuancheng to several intersections, then ran all the way to the north and landed in an inconspicuous corner.
Even Gu Yuancheng could hear this.
It seems like someone is hitting the wall with iron behind this!
If you listen more carefully, you can hear some weak conversation, and it seems that the other party is a little out of breath.
Is someone trapped inside?!
Sheng Nanxi listened carefully and felt that there was a particularly familiar voice behind the wall.
But he didn't have time to think about it. After determining the direction, he took out a big hammer from the space and smashed it hard.
"Bang--"
The sound echoed endlessly, and even the ground shook.
The originally solid wall must have been chiseled by the people on the other side for a long time, and now it is just one step away from breaking. Sheng Nanxi hammered it and smashed a big hole directly.
In an instant, I met dozens of pairs of eyes inside!
All I saw was dim light on the opposite side, and the dozens of people surrounding the cave entrance were all dirty and thin, with only skin and bones left.
Fortunately, Sheng Nanxi was quick, and after she got rid of the hammer, she handed the hammer to the little brother.
At this moment, he looked like an innocent little baby, looking at this group of ragged people with ignorance.
But before she could figure out what was going on, she was suddenly pulled over by a large snake and blocked from the others in the dark room.
I don't know how long this person hasn't showered. His whole body exudes a strong odor that is so strong that it makes people suffocate. Sheng Nanxi was not prepared and was almost suffocated by the odor.
I wanted to reach out and push him away, but he grabbed me tightly.
Sheng Nanxi was really angry. She frowned and was ready to give this man a hard time, but suddenly she found that this man's back seemed... a little familiar?
Just as he was about to speak to test the waters, he heard a stern voice of an old man in front of him: "Niu, what are you doing?"
"Hehe..." The man in front of her said with a shy tone, but he moved his body and hid his small breasts more carefully.
"As soon as I knocked on the wall, I ran into these two kids. They might have gotten lost while playing and came in by mistake. Ignore them and let's continue to escape according to the original plan."
"Child? How come there are children here suddenly?" The old man seemed to be difficult to fool and spoke with suspicion.
"Niu, we have finally waited for such a golden opportunity to escape. How can we trust others at this critical juncture and keep these two unknown people around? Show me the child."
The man in front of him protected Sheng Nanxi more tightly and insisted:
"This girl looks only two or three years old. How could such a young girl have any bad intentions? Mr. Zhang, I think we should just forget it. The most important thing is for us to get out as soon as possible."
"Don't worry, my father is a famous carpenter in the area. Before I could walk, I played with the wooden figures made by my father. Later, I followed my father to repair houses for wealthy families several times! I will lead the way for you in a while, I promise everything will be fine!"
He spoke casually. Unexpectedly, these successive obstacles made the old man more suspicious, and he stretched out his hand to steal the little milk ball hidden behind him.
But at that moment, a disheveled girl suddenly rushed out from the side and stood in front of the man and Sheng Nanxi.
"That's enough, old man! You know that Ah Niu is kind-hearted. He would walk around even if he saw an ant on the road. Now he just felt sorry for the little girl and wanted to protect her."
"Don't forget how many times he and we went through these months of being locked up in the dungeon. It was also after a long time of exploration that he discovered that this place could be connected to other secret passages. He stole iron tools from the supervisory man in the bamboo hat and slowly chiseled open this hole."
"Without Niu, we would never have been able to escape. How could you doubt him?!"
"You...you little devil, you always speak for outsiders. I just want to confirm what's wrong?!" The old man was so angry at the girl that he jumped to his feet.
"What's wrong? What does a little kid know? If you go there with such a fierce look, who will comfort him if he scare him and makes him cry? What if the baby cries so loudly that it attracts those omnipresent people in bamboo hats?"
"In my opinion, it was Brother Niu who did the right thing. He should have protected the baby as soon as they met, to prevent it from being scared and crying by you!" The girl did not show any weakness.
He put his hands on his hips and stood firmly in front of Sheng Nanxi and the other person.
"Hey! You unfilial girl, get out of my way!"
"No, have you forgotten how you scared Xiaohua from the next village? This kid looks timid, how can she stand your scares?!"
The quarrel between the two grandfathers and grandsons became more and more intense, and in the end they even brought up many previous grudges.
This shameless old man had to hide in the tree to peek at his granddaughter practicing martial arts, and finally scared the birds in the tree, so he threw bird poop on his granddaughter's head.
And this granddaughter was a simple-minded child. When she heard her grandparents quarreling, her grandparents complained that her grandparents were as hard-hearted as iron.
She really thought her grandfather's heart was made of iron. When her grandfather was asleep, she took a small wooden hammer and hit him on the chest, wanting to see which was harder, her grandfather's 'iron heart' or the iron hammer.
If she hadn't been so small and weak, her grandfather would have died young.
As the topic of the argument strayed further and further away, the people who were trying to persuade them to stop were also led astray by the two people and forgot the original focus of the conflict for a moment.
Sheng Nanxi was stunned, almost forgetting the lingering smell of sweat. Then she saw the man in front of her pull her aside while no one was paying attention. He whispered:
"Don't be afraid, Xi'er. They will forget about you while they are arguing. I will quietly take you out in a while."
