Aning thought so, but there was nothing he could do. They were now at the bottom of the lake and could only leave it to fate.
At the bottom of the lake, Wuxie, Fatty and Zhang Qiling were sitting in a row. Fatty and Wuxie were chatting, while Zhang Qiling was trying to coax Ji Huaichuan. It happened that Ji Huaichuan fell asleep and went around Zhang Qiling's wrist, and was about to bite it. However, as soon as his head touched Zhang Qiling's fingers, Zhang Qiling retracted his fingers.
Ji Huaichuan, who had been pretending to be asleep, stopped pretending and stared at Zhang Qiling angrily. He followed wherever Zhang Qiling looked. Zhang Qiling felt uncomfortable being stared at and raised his hand to pull his hat to cover himself.
Ji Huaichuan didn't give up. He followed Zhang Qiling into his hat and slid inside along his collar. Zhang Qiling reached out with his body stiff to pull him out.
Ji Huaichuan was unhappy now. What did this guy mean? Not only did he not let him bite his fingers, he also refused to stick them on. He couldn't live like this. He was just bullying him because he couldn't speak. Alas, Chuanchuan, I have fallen out of favor.
Ji Huaichuan instantly wilted, his head drooping, and he looked at Zhang Qiling with resentment. Those who didn't know would think that Zhang Qiling had done something bad to him. Zhang Qiling noticed Ji Huaichuan's sudden abnormal mood, reached out and poked the tip of his tail, but was shaken off by Ji Huaichuan.
Zhang Qiling withdrew his hand. He already knew that Ji Huaichuan was in a bad mood again, but now he was in dragon form, and the usual methods of coaxing him could not be applied. So Zhang Qiling brought the listless Ji Huaichuan to Wuxie and Fatty.
"What's wrong, little brother?" Wuxie asked.
Zhang Qiling pursed his lips and said, "I'm angry."
The fat man chuckled and said, "How come you're getting angry again before you've even appeased the previous one? Not bad, little brother."
Zhang Qiling suddenly felt that these two people were unreliable and he wanted to leave.
"Hey, young man, how did you offend me?" Wuxie suddenly asked.
Seeing Zhang Qiling didn't say anything, the fat man comforted him, "Don't bully others for no reason."
…
"Hey, why are you carrying a rope when you go into the water? How can you bear to treat me like this, even though I'm such a kind person?" Hei Xia Zi said to Jie Yuchen while looking at the rope on his body.
Xie Yuchen nodded, "Well, of course it's necessary. When acting, you have to perform the whole thing. This is the self-cultivation of an actor."
"But I'm not an actor, I'm a singer." Hei Xia Zi said with a sad face.
It turned out that they did not reach the bottom of the water. When they went into the water, Hei Xia Zi told Jie Yuchen that there were some abnormal things in the camp. The two of them took advantage of the situation and went into the water in front of Qiu Dekao, then swam to an open space and came ashore again. Unexpectedly, Jie Yuchen tied Hei Xia Zi as soon as they got ashore. Chunchun did it for revenge.
"Tell me, what's going on?" Xie Yuchen asked, standing aside with his arms folded.
Hei Xiazi curled his lips and said, "I wonder what bad things Qiu Dekao is up to. When I went to borrow some equipment, I found that almost all the people guarding the camp were gone. I knew there must be something wrong."
Xie Yuchen frowned slightly, "He deliberately let us into the water. If that's the case, Wuxie and the others might be in danger!"
Hei Xiazi nodded. "The most urgent thing is to find the little master first. His current situation is even more dangerous than Wu Xie and the others. I don't know what evil things my mean-spirited master is up to. He almost killed my poor little master."
"You said before that Xiao Chuan'er is coming soon. Now they are very likely together. Let's find a way to get them out of the water first." A hint of worry appeared in Xie Yuchen's eyes.
Firelight flickered in the cave. Wuxie stood in front of the stone wall, looking at the things on it. Fatty saw Wuxie's curiosity and explained, "It's beautiful, right? It has to be at least glass-type. This is such a large jade mine. If I could get it out, I'd be as rich as a country. I could own three courtyard houses in the second ring of Beijing. One for you, one for me, one for my brother and one for Xiaochuan'er. Then I can take over Yuncai and buy whatever you like!"
Wu Xie looked at the fat man who was imagining the future and laughed out loud, "You better stop talking."
Suddenly, they heard a noise. Wu Xie hurriedly asked Fatty what the noise was. Fatty pulled Wu Xie back to sit by the fire and interrupted, "What noise is there? Come on, Fatty, let me continue. There's such a huge jade mine right in front of us. When I first got here, I thought of many ways to spend the money, but you said, I can only see it but can't move it! I really feel like Lin Daiyu burying flowers and sighing at her miserable fate~"
The fat man's groan woke up Ji Huaichuan who was dozing with his eyes closed. Ji Huaichuan looked at Zhang Qiling, and seeing that he had no reaction, he turned over and continued to sleep.
"Okay, let's think about how to get out. This place is man-made, so it can't be truly airtight, otherwise those people would not be able to get in at all." Wuxie said.
Ji Huaichuan heard this vaguely and thought about it for a moment. There seemed to be a strange place when he came in. It became smaller after he came in, so the entrance was very large.
Ji Huaichuan thought about it and stood up suddenly. His action was noticed by the other three people. Ji Huaichuan glanced at Zhang Qiling, and finally turned around and climbed onto Wuxie. He would not go with Zhang Qiling, humph!
Wu Xie was frozen, not knowing what to do. Zhang Qiling looked at him coldly from behind. Wu Xie cleared his throat and said, "Ahem, what...what's wrong, Xiao Chuan'er?"
Ji Huaichuan looked at Wuxie, then looked down at his own claws, and finally raised a finger with difficulty and pointed in a direction, indicating Wuxie to go there.
Wuxie understood instantly and was about to leave when he heard another noise. It was exactly the direction Ji Huaichuan pointed. The fat man also noticed it this time. He slowly approached with a torch and found that there was a crack in the place where the jade was exposed on the stone wall. The fat man was about to get closer when suddenly two jade figurines jumped out.
Zhang Qiling kicked one of them with a swish, and the fat man retreated repeatedly and entangled with another jade figurine. In a few moves, he solved the jade figurine that looked more flexible, and a hole appeared on the stone wall in front of him.
The jade figurine just now ran out from there. After the jade figurine was broken, it emitted a faint smell. Ji Huaichuan was very familiar with this smell. It was the smell of the sachet hanging on Shen Tingsi's body. It was very faint.
Ji Huaichuan was a little confused. Did Chen Tingsi also participate in the construction of the Zhang Family Ancient Building? Why was he everywhere?
While thinking, Wuxie and his group stepped into the pitch-black cave. The visible range was only the area that could be illuminated by the torch in the fat man's hand. The entire space was very dark.
The further they went in, the stronger the smell became. Gradually, even Wuxie and Fatty could smell it. Ji Huaichuan then remembered that the sachet hanging on Shen Tingsi's body... was for antiseptic purposes!
