Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Secret Passage of the Cellar
Wu Zhiyuan swallowed the relics into his stomach, he didn't feel anything abnormal, he adjusted his breath a little, then stood up, and when he looked up, he saw Dong Qian standing in front of him, staring at him blankly, with a strange light flashing in his eyes.
Looking at each other, Wu Zhiyuan was so embarrassed that he didn't know how to speak, so he had to try to avoid the other party's eyes.
"Don't forget your promises." After being silent for a long time, Dong Qian took the lead in breaking the deadlock and said in a flat tone.
Wu Zhiyuan suddenly raised his head when he heard this, he was stunned for a while, and before he could fully understand the meaning of Dong Qian's words, he saw Dong Qian turn around and float towards the bushes at the foot of the mountain, and the white figure disappeared in the shade of the trees in an instant.
Wu Zhiyuan stabilized his mind, constantly pondering the meaning of Dong Qian's last sentence, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he finally understood what Dong Qian was referring to. It turned out that Dong Qian agreed to Wu Zhiyuan's request to bring her bones back to her hometown for burial and no longer harm the Wu villagers, and the "promise" she said was Wu Zhiyuan's promise to bring her bones back to her hometown for burial.
After figuring it out, Wu Zhiyuan was overjoyed in his heart, such an ending was exactly what he wanted. While compensating Dong Qian as much as he could, he also resolved the enmity between the ancestors of the Wu family and Dong Qian, and from then on, the people of Wujia Village did not need to hide.
Wu Zhiyuan turned around and pulled out the Blood Shadow Demon Knife inserted into the boulder, retrieved the scabbard, and hurried towards the village, he wanted to tell the Moon Shadow Fuxian the good news. Rushing all the way back to the village, as soon as he entered the courtyard gate, he saw the Moon Shadow Fuxian hurriedly coming out of the house.
"Brother Zhiyuan, where have you been?" Moon Shadow Fuxian had a concerned look on his face.
"Let's talk about it when we go back to the house." Wu Zhiyuan pulled the Moon Shadow Fuxian into the house, sat down by the kang, and said with a happy face, "The grudge between that female ghost and Wujia Village has been written off, and the people of Wujia Village don't need to hide in Tibet anymore." ”
"However, there is no clue to the whereabouts of the villagers in Wujia Village so far." Moon Shadow Fuxian said worriedly.
Speaking of the whereabouts of the villagers, the smile on Wu Zhiyuan's face immediately dimmed, if you think about it, all the villagers may have hidden it in order to avoid Dong Qian's pursuit, but what if something else happened?
Thinking of this, Wu Zhiyuan turned his head to look at Sheng Wanxiang lying on the kang, at this time her eyes were closed, her face was serene, not like a deceased person, as if she was asleep.
"If she hadn't been hastily put in the cellar of the kang cave, it wouldn't have caused the consequences like now......" Wu Zhiyuan secretly blamed himself in his heart, although Sheng Wanxiang's death was a fact, but he was always difficult to accept, after all, the two had slept in the same bed night, although they had never been husband and wife, but Sheng Wanxiang had already left a mark in Wu Zhiyuan's heart, so he did not bury Sheng Wanxiang's body in the ground, more or less because of the grief and reluctance in his heart.
"Kang Cave Cellar!" Thinking of the situation when Sheng Wanxiang was placed in the cellar of the kang cave, Wu Zhiyuan suddenly remembered something, he hurriedly turned over and got off the kang, bent down and lifted the wooden board at the mouth of the cellar, then picked up the oil lamp on the table and went down to the cellar.
Wu Zhiyuan took the oil lamp and went straight to the small door in the southwest corner. When Dong Qian possessed Sheng Wanxiang, he had asked him about the clues about the whereabouts of the people in Wujia Village in different ways, and he had already suspected the identity of the other party at that time, so he kept it hidden, but he always remembered that there was this secret door in the cellar.
Moon Shadow Fuxian also followed, she walked to Wu Zhiyuan's side, and reached out to take the oil lamp from Wu Zhiyuan's hand.
Wu Zhiyuan freed his right hand, clasped the crack of the door with his fingers, and gently opened the small door, and a cool breeze suddenly blew out of the door, mixed with a musty smell.
"You wait for me here, I'll go in and have a look." Wu Zhiyuan took the oil lamp in the hand of the Moon Shadow Fuxian, and was about to drill into the hole.
"Brother Zhiyuan, take this knife." Moon Shadow Fu Immortal handed the Blood Shadow Demon Knife in front of Wu Zhiyuan.
Wu Zhiyuan hesitated slightly, took the magic knife with his left hand, and got in.
The entrance of the cave is very narrow, only one person can crawl through, Wu Zhiyuan holds an oil lamp in his right hand, and holds a knife in his left hand to support his upper body and crawl forward, while constantly observing the surroundings, the cave wall is full of mud, without any decoration, it can be seen that it is just digging a hole for digging a hole.
This hole is very deep, Wu Zhiyuan climbed for a long time, turned a few corners, and has not yet reached the end. People are easy to be impetuous, and just when he was a little discouraged and about to give up, under the light of the faint oil lamp, the space in front of him seemed to become larger, as if he had reached the end, Wu Zhiyuan was overjoyed and quickly crawled forward.
Sure enough, the end of the cave was in front of it, and the space was so large that it was actually a dark room. Wu Zhiyuan climbed to the entrance of the cave, and was about to raise the lamp to check the situation in the dark room carefully, when he suddenly felt a cold neck, and looked down to see that four or five steel knives were on his neck at the same time!
Wu Zhiyuan was taken aback, and at the same time regretted his carelessness, at this moment, several oil lamps came to Wu Zhiyuan's face at the same time, and the sudden light made him unable to open his eyes.
"Zhiyuan?!" A voice shouted in surprise.
Wu Zhiyuan covered his forehead with his hand, looked up in the direction of the sound, and saw that the right side was full of familiar faces, and one of them smiled in surprise; "How could it be you? How did you find here? ”
"Brother Qiangzi?" Wu Zhiyuan saw at a glance that the person who spoke was his brother in the same generation in his village, named Wu Qiang, and the four or five people standing next to him were all young adults in the village, all of them were faces that he couldn't be familiar with, and none of them he didn't know.
Everyone was overjoyed, and hurriedly took away the knife around Wu Zhiyuan's neck, and helped him out of the hole.
This gathering made Wu Zhiyuan's heart indescribably happy, he hugged everyone together, with thousands of emotions but indescribable.
"Brother Qiangzi, why are you hiding here?" Wu Zhiyuan looked around and found that this was a square dark room, the room was empty, and there was a secret door on the north side, which was more than one person high, presumably leading to something else.
"Let's not talk about that, let's go! Go see your parents first, your kid ran away from home quietly, do you know how worried they are about you? Wu Qiang lightly punched Wu Zhiyuan in the chest, and the others followed suit.
Wu Zhiyuan hung his head gloomily, for more than a month, he was not worried about his parents, but he didn't expect that in more than a month, not only did he experience a death escape, but even Wujia Village also had such a catastrophe, but fortunately, he has solved it now, and he also has an explanation in front of his parents and fellow villagers.
"Well, is the fifth uncle and everyone here? I have something to say to you. Wu Zhiyuan responded a little excitedly.
While talking, several people walked together to the secret door on the north side, Wu Qiang stretched out his hand to open the secret door, and several people walked in one after another.
