Hesitantly, he said, "We only found out after staying outside for several days. That day, it suddenly rained heavily, and the temple was leaking. I hid in a place where it wasn't leaking, and eventually hid behind the Buddha statue. At that time, I don't know how, my hand suddenly pressed on the Buddha statue's shoulder, and that's how I triggered the mechanism, and that's how we hid inside."
"Did you trigger any mechanisms or hidden weapons when you came in?" Xingxing pointed to the skeletons in the corner. If this secret room was absolutely safe, where did those skeletons come from?
"We didn't think too much about it at the time. We just thought it wouldn't leak, so we ran in. As for the skeletons, they looked like they had been dead for a long time. There wasn't even a single piece of tattered clothing in this secret room. I guess the clothes the skeletons wore when they were alive were taken away long ago." The girl didn't know anything about the secret room and was just guessing.
"Aren't you scared?" Xingxing asked curiously.
"It's just a pile of bones, what's there to be afraid of? The scariest people are the living. Those refugees are the real terrors. When they're starving, they'll eat people. So many refugees have been eaten on the road, their bones are piled up like mountains. What's this little pile compared to that?"
The girl had a soft voice and a touch of innocence in her eyes. She must have been a young lady from a wealthy family. Only someone who has never suffered hardship and has been pampered since childhood could have such a temperament.
That makes sense; you get used to it after seeing it a lot.
Furthermore, there wasn't even a trace of the smell of decaying corpses in this secret room, which was enough to show that the pile of bones had been dead for quite some time.
Zhu Lin and his two senior brothers listened quietly to the conversation between the two girls without interrupting.
“My name is Xingxing. We’ll be leaving the dilapidated temple in a few days. Don’t worry, we won’t hurt you. By the way, what’s your name? And who is this man to you?” Xingxing asked casually, trying to elicit information.
The little girl was soft and sweet, so the young woman was naturally unguarded with her. She answered whatever Xingxing asked, "My name is Chen Yuexin, and his name is Hua Zan. I am his little wife, but we are not married yet."
"Xin'er, she tricked you into revealing information, and our identities have been exposed," Hua Zan belatedly reminded her.
Chen Yuexin blinked her big, watery eyes and said innocently, "What should we do? Why didn't you remind me sooner?"
"Hey, Chen Yuexin, Hua Zan?" Xingxing's eyes suddenly lit up.
It's like searching high and low without finding it, only to have it come to you effortlessly.
