Liang Yuanque's heart tightened, and his first reaction was to meet the person behind the scenes to silence him.
But then, he heard Xiao Linzi shouting for help.
The strange thing is that his voice can be heard, but no one can be found.
Liang Yuanque slowly took two steps forward and discovered that Xiao Linzi's voice came from below.
"Xiao Linzi, where are you?" He really couldn't tell where the person would be, so he could only respond in a higher voice.
Xiao Linzi's shout came from the underground position,
"Hey, I'm down there, you can dig up the grass and take a look down there!"
Liang Yuanque frowned and pushed aside the lush weeds on the rugged path, and sure enough he discovered the small forest that had rolled down the slope.
This road is really clever. If you walk carefully, it will be difficult to find a vertical slope on one side.
The slope is very steep, and since it is summer and the weeds are lush, it is almost impossible to see this hidden "trap" with such a cover.
Moreover, this slope is almost vertical. If you accidentally slip and fall, you will immediately "disappear" on the road above.
This is why Liang Yuanque immediately looked back when he heard the shouting, but Xiao Linzi could no longer be found.
Xiao Linzi at the bottom of the slope hugged his knees and screamed in pain. Zhuang Youjie also ran over and discussed with Liang Yuanque how to get him up.
This slope doesn't look like much, but when you actually feel it, you realize that it's quite high. Liang Yuanque can't reach the small forest.
So he asked Zhuang Youjie, who was relatively tall, to lean down and reach out to pull, while he pulled Zhuang Youjie on top.
But because Xiao Linzi's leg was injured and he couldn't use any strength at all, Zhuang Youjie tried hard but failed.
Liang Yuanque could only choose to go up by himself and slide down the steep slope, preparing to carry Xiao Linzi up on his back.
Xiao Linzi seemed to be seriously injured and kept moaning. When Liang Yuanque carried him on his back, he suddenly let out an "ah" sound.
"What are you doing again?"
The sun was scorching in the sky, and Liang Yuanque was already getting impatient.
Xiao Linzi pointed forward, "I know how the young master of the second master's family fell off the cliff!"
"What?" Liang Yuanque narrowed his eyes and looked in the direction of his finger.
In front of where he was pointing, there was a depression on the side of the mountain. If you stood on it and looked down, you wouldn't be able to see the hollow area.
Xiao Linzi didn't care about the pain in his legs at the moment. He struggled off Liang Yuanque's back and limped toward the hollow while holding on to his legs.
While walking, he explained, "The body of the young master of the second master's family was originally found here."
Back then, when we were worshiping our ancestors, the young master Xu was so playful that he ran around without knowing where he was going.
After that, the Lin family sent people to look for him, but they couldn't find him. It wasn't until half a month passed that his body was found here.
This location is difficult to find if you walk along the normal road.
Thanks to a servant with a good eye at that time, he came here at noon and found that the accessories on the body of the young master were reflecting light, so he found the body.
Although everyone in the Lin family knows that the young master fell to his death from a building, they have never figured out where he fell from before his death to such a secret corner.
Today, when Xiao Linzi fell down this hidden path, he suddenly understood what happened to the young master.
He told Liang Yuanque his conjecture, but Liang Yuanque shook his head after listening.
"When you fell from this slope, you fell directly below it. If the young master also fell from here, how could he appear in front of you?"
"This..." Xiao Linzi couldn't explain it at the moment.
Liang Yuanque looked around and found that the environment where the young master's body appeared was very clear. Even a blind man would not have accidentally fallen.
Xiao Linzi's guess is somewhat reasonable. Maybe the young master did not die after falling from this steep slope, but was only injured.
Liang Yuanque closed his eyes and simulated a scene in his mind.
The young master at that time was not as lucky as Xiao Linzi today. Even if he asked for help, no one came. He had to slowly crawl to the front and temporarily find a suitable hiding position to deal with the wound.
But because no one could find him, his wounds worsened day by day, and he eventually died of his injuries.
However, this is just a speculation based on the scene. Liang Yuanque currently has no clues or evidence about the death of the young master.
Thinking of this, he got a headache. The Lin family's case was really huge. Now he seemed to be a student who had found an idea to solve the problem, but found that the problem required three pages of draft paper.
I'm so worried, but I can't give up.
Liang Yuanque looked around in this hidden recess, but found nothing.
After all, it has been so long, and even if there were any clues left behind, they would have been wiped out by the weather.
There was nothing to investigate here, so Liang Yuanque called Xiao Linzi back and carefully carried him up the steep slope.
Zhuang Youjie, who was on the road above, had been waiting for a long time. When he saw that they were still not coming up below, he got down and took a look. He didn't see anyone, so he was so frightened that he wanted to call someone.
Fortunately, at this time, Liang Yuanque and the others came back. He quickly reached out and grabbed Liang Yuanque and pulled them up.
"Did you just go down and pee? I didn't see anyone for a while and then disappeared! I was so scared that I almost called for help!"
Zhuang Youjie thought of his worries just now and couldn't help but say a few words to them.
Xiao Linzi got off Liang Yuanque's back and laughed innocently again.
"Sir, it's useless for you to call people now. Everyone has gone home to avoid the sun at noon. The whole mountain is even more desolate than at night."
"Oh, according to you," Liang Yuanque raised his eyebrows, "If we are killed and buried later, no one will hear anything?"
Xiao Linzi's face froze immediately, but he still chose to cover it up with a smile.
"Mr. Liang, why do you always say that you were killed and buried?"
"That's right," Zhuang Youjie, who didn't know what was going on, echoed, "Stop saying that all the time, or else I'll always be confused behind my back."
Liang Yuanque shrugged his shoulders and smiled, "It's just a joke, don't take it seriously."
Standing under the scorching sun was not a comfortable thing. Although Xiao Linzi injured a leg, he still waved them on and continued on their way.
"Just keep walking forward. There is shade ahead."
Zhuang Youjie couldn't bear to see him limping and carrying a shovel, so he quickly walked a few steps.
"Give me the shovel."
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand. Unexpectedly, Xiao Linzi's reaction was very big. He immediately turned sideways and took away the shovel in his hand, so that he could not touch it.
Seeing his surprised look, Xiao Linzi hurriedly explained,
"No, no, no, how can I let you work? Besides, I happen to be holding a shovel as a crutch, so it won't be in the way!"
Zhuang Youjie's nerves finally became sharper at the critical moment. Although he couldn't explain why, he still felt that something was not right with Xiao Linzi?
