Chapter 144: Peering in the Valley
"It's impossible to dig an underground passage here, this is a mountainous area, there are many underground stone layers, and digging a passage is such a big project, how can it be completed by those people in the village alone!" Yu Yi said.
"And how do you want to bring me into the village?" Xu Tian said suspiciously.
"Of course it's a detour, we can walk through this forest back to the village, we have to take a detour." Yu Yi said.
"Is there a way here? I don't see any roads around the woods. Xu Tian asked.
"If you see it, it's not a hidden path, just follow me." Yu Yi said.
Yu Yi took Xu Tian and walked towards the edge of the forest, at this time the wind was already very strong, and sometimes there would be flames blowing on them.
After walking for about half an hour, Xu Tian was taken by Yu Yi and Xiao Ai to the edge of the cliff on the south side of the forest, and there was a soft ladder leading to the bottom on the edge of the cliff.
"What are you doing? If someone comes to mess with it in a while, you're done. Xiao Ai urged Xu Tian to quickly climb the soft ladder.
"You go first! I think this soft ladder is about to be burned by the fire, you should go down quickly. Xu Tian said.
"We're here to ask you to come back to the village, and we must have someone stay on it, or there's a good chance someone will come and make trouble." Xiao Ai said.
"Then it shouldn't be Xiao Ai staying, right?" Xu Tian said.
"Don't ink, you go down first, and then I'll go down, I'm much lighter than you, if someone comes to make trouble, you can catch me below, it's not very high here, about twenty-five meters, but if you fall, you'll die." Xiao Ai said.
Xu Tian felt that what Xiao Ai said was quite reasonable, and it was really too late to reason with Xiao Ai at this time, so Xu Tian had to climb down the soft ladder.
Below the cliff is a very narrow valley, as Xiao Ai said, if someone comes to make trouble, Xu Tian and Yu Yi can completely catch Xiao Ai.
After a while, Xiao Ai also climbed down the soft ladder, and with the help of the light of the fire above, the inside of this small valley was as if the lights were on, and it was not dark at all.
However, Xu Tian felt that this place was also very dangerous, and if someone took a gun and shot into the small valley, then they would be like a live target.
"Don't worry, it's very unlikely that someone will shoot us with guns, because they've all fled for their lives, and the forest above will soon spread to the abandoned building, and if nothing else, it will be a cloud of ashes after dawn." Yu Yi said.
"Who the hell are you? I listened to Mr. Jin and Li Zhitong tell some of your experiences, and your stories are incredible. Xu Tian asked.
"Don't be fooled by superficial appearances, there's nothing mysterious about us, it's just that what we encounter has to make us mysterious." Yu Yi said.
"You've died before?" Xu Tian asked.
"That's all nonsense, the dead can't be resurrected, this is the scientific conclusion of our society." Yu Yi said.
"What about Xiao Ai? What is Ai? Xu Tian asked.
"You're saying that too differently, aren't you?" Xiao Ai said very unhappily in the back.
"You have something to do with the mysterious case a few years ago, and the last case involved Zhi Nian Tai Sui, about your role in that case, I don't think it's too big, is it that the story I heard is incomplete?" Xu Tian asked.
"Don't be fooled by lies, I'll tell you everything when I get back to the village, but before that, you have to be ashamed of your own stupidity." Yu Yi stopped and said.
Xu Tian felt that the situation was very bad, this feeling was the same as the feeling of Teacher Jin pointing a gun at him in the attic, could it be ...... Yu Yi and Xiao Ai?
When Xu Tian looked back at Xiao Ai, he found that Xiao Ai was pointing a gun at Xu Tian.
"You're so stupid, there's no scientific basis for what I said to you from above, even if I weigh less, it's forty kilograms, and I almost fell from the height of an eight-story building, do you think you can catch me?" Xiao Ai said.
"Of course we can't catch it, but if both of us are ready to sacrifice, it's not that we can't save you." Xu Tian said.
"So what do you mean...... Are you going to catch me with your body? Xiao Ai asked.
"It's the only way." Xu Tian said.
"Then you could be paraplegic, or you could die." Xiao Ai said.
"You are the people that Lao Chen believes, so I believe in you, and your behavior of staying and taking me back to the village, I believe that Lao Chen also asked you to do it, and you showed up after everyone left, which means that you are waiting for me nearby in the morning, and there are definitely other things you plan to take me back to the village, not just to let me solve the murder that happened in the village." Xu Tian said.
"But you've heard some of our stories before, but in the stories you've heard, our riddles have never been solved, and isn't it a bit too reckless for you to accept our request to take you back to the village before you fully know the answer to our riddles?" Yu Yi said.
"You want me to say what I'm thinking, don't you? It's a test that doesn't hide it, but I like your style, and if I had to give you an answer, I'm sure there's an enemy in the village that you can't deal with. I have never questioned your ability, and there has always been a very chicken existence in the story told by Mr. Jin and Li Zhitong, the detective is completely a fictional character from them, because the story they made up improvised was not rehearsed in advance at all, they are not talk show actors, so the story they made up has no strong logic at all. The detective in the story is you, Yu Yi. Xu Tian turned around and looked at Yu Yi with a sinking face and said.
"Lao Chen really didn't see the wrong person, but you still have a piece of information that you haven't figured out, can you give me an explanation about our previous meeting?" Yu Yi asked.
"You are not Mr. Xu at all, but I believe that you must know each other, otherwise you would not have found me in the forest, the time for you to appear was not ripe, and the intention of your appearance in front of me at that time was also obvious, your chessboard was disrupted, just like my previous thoughts, every time it comes to a critical moment, your plan will be disrupted, there is a very clever push behind this, but there are really suspicious people...... It's just me. Xu Tian said.
