But Zhang Qiling knew what he was thinking. The kid was full of evil intentions again. Although he had grown smaller, his heart had not changed at all. Zhang Qiling put away the dagger and let go of the thug leader.
This man is called Mop, and he is the leader of the thugs hired by Wu Sansheng this time. He has done a lot of bad things, but he is a bully who only bullies the weak and fears the strong, and can never accomplish anything.
"There won't be a next time," Zhang Qiling warned.
"Yes, yes! Absolutely not!" Mop got up from the ground, nodding and bowing, his servile look showed no trace of his previous arrogance.
Wu Sansheng whispered to Wuxie, "Is that my brother's doll?"
"What brother's doll? It's a doll that you paid more for. It makes me angry when I talk about this. They all get the money, but I..." Wuxie was ready to bargain.
Unfortunately, Wu Sansheng didn't buy it and immediately changed the subject, "Alright, alright, now that everyone is here, let's grab our equipment and continue looking for the entrance."
"Uncle San! I haven't finished yet."
Wu Sansheng pretended not to hear and completely ignored Wuxie who had a resentful look on his face. By chance, a thug found a place that could not hold water. Wu Sansheng went over to take a look and then asked him to dig a hole there.
The thugs were busy setting traps, and Wuxie was busy chasing Wu Sansheng and asking him questions, but Wu Sansheng didn't say a word and always changed the subject.
Xiao Huaichuan was bored, so he quietly left Zhang Qiling. Although he left quietly, Zhang Qiling still noticed him. He brought Xiao Huaichuan back and tied a rope around his waist before letting him go.
Xiao Huaichuan pulled the rope, but couldn't pull it free, so he left it alone and ran off to play by himself. He climbed up a small mound of earth, and there was a wide crack at the bottom of the mound.
Xiao Huaichuan stuck his head out to take a look, then turned back to look at Zhang Qiling who was doing something unknown. He hesitated for a second and then climbed down. However, because his hands were too small to hold on, he slipped down as soon as he reached the edge of the crack.
Zhang Qiling suddenly found that the rope at his feet was moving forward rapidly, and only a short piece was left. Fortunately, the other end was tied to his ankle, so he was not panicked. However, when Zhang Qiling followed the rope, he only retrieved the rope, and the person hanging on the rope was gone.
Zhang Qiling stared at the rope, lost in thought. Wasn't it impossible to untie? What was going on? Was he being tricked by a little kid?
If Xiao Huaichuan were still alive, he might tell Zhang Qiling that he just became smaller and not really became a child. ╮( ??ω?? )╭
Zhang Qiling also went down along the crack. It was very deep down, and he didn’t know how Xiao Huaichuan got down.
When he shone the flashlight, he saw that the crack was very damp, with puddles everywhere, and occasionally he could find a few dead rats. In short, it was dirty and messy. According to Xiao Huaichuan's previous personality, he would never come here unless it was necessary. Even if he came in, he would probably hug Zhang Qiling and groan for a long time before leaving.
"ah!"
Zhang Qiling turned around suddenly and heard a scream from deep in the cave. It was Xiao Huaichuan's voice. Zhang Qiling ran over immediately.
Zhang Qiling did not find Xiao Huaichuan as he had expected, but instead found a piece of clothing on a sharp stone. This was the second piece. Zhang Qiling collected the piece of cloth and put it in his coat pocket and continued walking forward.
Later on the way, you found a few scraps of cloth here and there and started tearing the clothes apart for fun, right?
Zhang Qiling's eyes darkened and he continued to move forward. The cave was much wider. Compared to the dampness when he first came in, the cave was now very clean, as if someone cleaned it regularly.
Zhang Qiling became more alert. If someone was cleaning, there must be someone there. It was hard to tell whether it was a friend or an enemy, so it was always better to be careful.
"Zhang Qiling"
There was another sound, but it didn't sound like Xiao Huaichuan's voice. Zhang Qiling looked in the direction where the sound came from and saw a red snake with a pheasant neck crawling out from behind the stone. Then, snakes appeared in all the cracks around.
Zhang Qiling frowned. He had entered a snake's nest... But these snakes were a little strange. They had no intention of attacking him. A pheasant neck that fell high up in the air clearly had a very high status among the snakes. There was also a shiny gem on its head.
Zhang Qiling had seen that gem before. It belonged to Ji Huaichuan. Zhang Qiling's eyes became dangerous as he stared at the pheasant's neck.
The pheasant neck seemed to sense the source of Zhang Qiling's sudden murderous intent, "The young prince gave it to me!"
Zhang Qiling paused as he drew his sword. Should he... continue fighting?
"My own snake"
"My own snake"
“…”
The necks of the pheasants around were also getting restless, fearing that Zhang Qiling would suddenly attack and chop them all into pieces.
"Where is he?" Zhang Qiling asked.
All the snakes present knew who he was. The pheasant neck with the gem on its head led the way very consciously, and Zhang Qiling followed.
Passing through a narrow passage, Zhang Qiling saw Xiao Huaichuan sleeping soundly. The only bad thing was that he was being circled by a particularly large snake, a mother snake.
The snake's head was right next to Xiao Huaichuan, and it could swallow him with one mouth. At this moment, the snake was looking at Zhang Qiling, swinging its tail as if it was looking at something.
The snake mother stood up, put her big head in front of Zhang Qiling, snorted heavily and then shrank back.
"Um...brother, hold me~"
Little Huaichuan was half asleep and hugged the snake mother tightly, thinking she was Zhang Qiling. The snake mother glanced at him with disdain but still let little Huaichuan hold her obediently.
Seeing this, Zhang Qiling also knew that the big snake had no intention of attacking him. Since it had no such intention, Zhang Qiling felt relieved. He walked to the snake mother and brought little Huaichuan back.
When the snake mother took little Huaichuan away, she bared her teeth at Zhang Qiling, but who is Zhang Qiling? He ignored her.
He woke up as soon as he held little Huaichuan in his arms. As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Zhang Qiling. Little Huaichuan felt a little guilty, after all, he knew that he had done nothing good.
Xiao Huaichuan hugged Zhang Qiling and kissed him without saying a word. This is called striking first and gaining the upper hand. I've already kissed you, you can't say anything to me anymore, right?
"Brother Qi Ling, I miss you so much!" Little Huaichuan tilted his head and looked at Zhang Qi Ling, his big eyes twinkling as if there were little stars in them. He knew that Zhang Qi Ling would fall for this trick, so he guaranteed it would work.
Sure enough, Zhang Qiling just touched his head and didn't say anything else.
At the same time, people outside the crack also discovered that Zhang Qiling and Xiao Huaichuan were missing.
"They were here just now, where could they have gone?" Wuxie looked puzzled.
"There are traces of a rope being dragged here. Follow this to search," said Aning.
Following the traces, everyone quickly arrived above the crack.
"It should be down there." Xie Yuchen squatted at the crack and shone his flashlight. "It's deep down there. I'll go down and take a look."
Xie Yuchen tied the rope around his waist and handed the other end to Hei Xiazi, "Hold on tight!"
"How about I go down? It doesn't look very safe in here..." Hei Xia Zi was still hesitating.
"No, I respect the elders. How can I let Hei Ye take risks?" Xie Yuchen smiled and slid down the rope.
"I love children..." Hei Xia Zi was about to refute when he was interrupted by Jie Yuchen.
"Okay, stop talking nonsense and get it done!"
