Yang Yongqing stood on tiptoe and shouted to Liu Xueyun who was following behind: "Good brother-in-law, please be a witness for us!"
Liu Xueyun originally wanted to minimize her presence and not get involved in the whirlpool of her brother-in-law and sister-in-law, but she didn't expect to be targeted.
He raised his head and smiled to avoid the embarrassment, without saying a word.
"My dear brother-in-law, why don't you say anything? You have to stand on the side of justice..." Yang Yongqing groaned dissatisfied.
Liu Xueyun's smile became increasingly bitter.
Yang Ruoqing was already impatient, "Little cousin, if you don't leave, I'm going to kick you again. Stop talking nonsense and lead the way!"
Yang Yongqing shrank his shoulders, quickly shut up and led the way.
This passage was dark and scary. The key was that he would get kicked later and there would be no one to help him get justice without his third uncle, so it was more important to do serious things first.
Yang Ruoqing shook her head when she saw Yang Yongqing leading the way with his head turned and no longer talking nonsense.
If I had known that he was a tough guy, why would I talk so much nonsense to him? Was he being stinked to the point of lowering his IQ?
The passage should not be very long originally, but because of this special environment, it appears to be much longer than the real length. This is a psychological factor at work.
On the road, unlike Yang Yongqing's fear and uneasiness, and Liu Xueyun's vigilance at every turn, Yang Ruoqing remained silent, and the blood in her bones that loved adventure and was curious about unknown things began to boil again.
Where does this passage that appears in the chamber pot man's latrine lead to? The experience of going to the tomb several times before made her subconsciously think about the underground palace.
If it's an underground palace, then among the six people, she and Liu Xueyun are the only ones who can fight. The other four are three and a half upright men on the ground (Yang Yongqing, who has no responsibility, can only be regarded as half a man). When they get to this underground , those three men are of no help, and the other half are a drag and useless.
If it is an underground palace, it is definitely not allowed to enter. Protect it first, wait until Tangyazi and Brother Zuo are there, and then enter after being fully prepared.
Thinking of this, Yang Ruoqing pricked up her ears to catch the movement in front of her, and found that she couldn't catch the sound of Yang Huazhong and the others at all.
She felt a little anxious. Yang Yongqing just happened to be dawdling in front of him like a staggering drunkard. He couldn't walk for a long time. A little water fell from the top of his head and dripped into his neck. He jumped up in surprise and held it in his hand. The torch was almost extinguished by him.
"Go faster!"
He kicked Yang Yongqing hard in the butt again.
Yang Yongqing didn't take precautions. He threw his body forward and hit his forehead on the wall with a muffled sound, and the torch in his hand flew backwards.
Yang Ruoqing caught the torch and pulled him aside: "It's too slow, I'll go ahead!"
Yang Yongqing fell to the ground, trembling with anger as he looked at Yang Ruoqing's arrogant and domineering back.
"You kicked me again, for the third time!"
"Keep it up and I'll kick you a hundred times."
"You are a sister and I am a brother. How can a sister in the world bully an elder brother? Fatty, you are not big or small..." Yang Yongqing slapped the ground and shouted.
If I had known that this damn girl would grow up to be so tough, I should have dealt with her more often when she was crazy and stupid.
By the way, when I was a child, I often robbed her of food, pulled her hair, and lured her to toilets and stinking ditches... Is this retribution?
"Little cousin, let me help you up." Liu Xueyun came to Yang Yongqing, leaned over and pulled him up from the cold and wet ground.
Yang Yongqing grabbed Liu Xueyun's arm and accused Yang Ruoqing excitedly.
"... You have seen it, right? She has a bad temper and hits people when she disagrees. How can there be such a woman in the world? Tang Yazi is really blind..."
"Okay little cousin," Liu Xueyun coughed and interrupted Yang Yongqing.
"Do the important things first and follow up on your own."
After saying these words, Liu Xueyun left Yang Yongqing where he was and turned around to catch up with Yang Ruoqing.
When there was a noise in front of her, Yang Ruoqing knew she had reached the end of the passage.
"Uncle Third, Qing'er and the others are here." It was Yang Yongzhi's voice.
Yang Huazhong and Li Jia were standing in front of a stone wall, holding torches in their hands and carefully looking at the stone wall in front of them.
There are many relief-like patterns on the stone wall. The two of them gathered together to look at them and discuss what they were.
After hearing Yang Yongzhi's words, Yang Huazhong turned around and saw Yang Ruoqing coming over holding a torch, followed by Liu Xueyun. Not far away, Yang Yongqing also came rushing over, muttering in his mouth and full of sorrow.
Yang Huazhong didn't have time to pay attention to Yang Yongqing's complaint. He pointed to the stone walls around him and said to Yang Ruoqing and Liu Xueyun: "It's strange that there are these stone walls at the end of this passage."
Yang Ruoqing didn't say anything, and handed the torch in Liu Xueyun's hand. She came forward and stood in front of the stone wall and looked at it carefully. Her delicate and slender fingers were stroking the patterns on the stone wall inch by inch.
"Qing'er..." Yang Huazhong just spoke, and Yang Ruoqing suddenly let out a 'shhh' sound.
Yang Huazhong quickly shut up and didn't make any sound. The others (except Yang Yongqing who was afraid) stood quietly in tacit agreement, trying not to make the slightest noise to disturb Yang Ruoqing.
After Yang Ruoqing fumbled for a moment, her fingers suddenly pressed on an inconspicuous lotus-shaped relief on the wall and pressed hard.
The ground beneath his feet suddenly began to shake, and the passage he was in also swayed slightly.
"Oh my god, this is going to collapse. Run!"
Yang Yongqing, who was standing at the back of the team, let out a howl, clasped his head with both hands and turned around to run away, but was pulled back by Yang Yongzhi.
"Qing'er and Xueyun didn't move, why are you panicking? Just stand still and don't cause any trouble!"
"Third brother, my life is at stake..."
"Kakakaka..."
A clumsy and heavy voice covered Yang Yongqing's words, and the stone wall standing in front of everyone cracked an irregular trace from the middle, like an enlarged version of the word "bow".
The stone wall split to both sides along this bow, creating a crack that could only allow one person to pass through at a time.
Except for Yang Ruoqing and Liu Xueyun, the others stretched their necks and looked dumbfounded.
"Is there... is there a mystery hidden in this passage? Oh my God!" Yang Huazhong murmured, feeling that he has lived more than half his life and has never been as knowledgeable as this person.
Li Jia was also shocked. As Li Zheng of Lijia Village, he had been born and raised in this village for decades. He didn't even know that there was such a "capable man" as the Chamber Pot Man hidden in the village, and he couldn't imagine that he walked back and forth every day. There are strange things like this hidden under the ground you step on.
If it hadn't been for Mo's loss of status, which led to the following series of events, I'm afraid he would have been muddleheaded in this position until he resigned.
Yang Yongzhi clenched his fists even more, feeling secretly excited. The familiar feeling before became stronger and stronger, as if something was calling him in.
He even left Yang Yongqing alone, lifted his legs and walked straight forward...
