The atmosphere suddenly became tense again.
The intersection ahead, whether going down the mountain or going to the jade mine, is the only way.
They could only wait for the servant in front of him to leave after searching to no avail, and then quietly go around.
Liang Yuanque and Zhuang Youjie squatted in the grass nest holding their breath. Fortunately, the sky was getting darker now, and it was difficult to notice their figures on the mountain with dense vegetation.
The few servants who came later also carried some sticks in their hands, and one person carried a machete.
If this happens, it will definitely be more difficult to solve than Xiao Linzi.
But the strange thing is that after Xiao Linzi briefly chatted with a few of them, the man with the machete, led by him, actually launched an attack on Xiao Linzi!
Xiao Linzi quickly raised the shovel in his hand to block it and escaped.
Not to be outdone, several other people raised their weapons and attacked. Xiao Linzi saw that the situation was not good and ran away.
Zhuang Youjie, who was squatting in the grass den, was stunned. Hearing the sounds of cursing and fighting coming from the front, he couldn't help but lower his voice and asked,
"What's going on? Are they fighting among themselves?"
Liang Yuanque did see a clue, "Obviously they are not the same group."
"Aren't they all from the Lin family?" In the time it took for them to speak, the people in front of them had disappeared, and they didn't know where they had gone.
"There should be one group of people who are the old lady, and another group of people who are the murderers."
As Liang Yuanque explained, he quietly took two steps forward to observe the situation.
"One wave is... the other wave is..." Zhuang Youjie muttered in his mouth and repeated his words, and suddenly realized,
"But aren't they all from the Lin family?"
Liang Yuanque couldn't do it in one sentence, and he felt physically and mentally tired.
So he turned around and hit him on the head, "Stop thinking about my brother and leave quickly."
"No, are you okay?" Zhuang Youjie cautiously stuck his head out.
Liang Yuanque knew that for such a nagging person, practice was more effective than preaching, so he simply ignored him and walked forward.
Sure enough, within a few steps, Zhuang Youjie trotted up and followed him, "Hey, wait for me!"
There were traces of friction and struggle on the ground in front of him. It seemed that Xiao Linzi was crawling while escaping just now.
The group on the opposite side should have thought that he and Liang Yuanque were on the same team. Xiao Linzi tried to explain, but he was not trusted.
It seems that the other party wants to eradicate the root cause, and no one who is even remotely involved can be spared.
Alas, looking at the menacing and ferocious appearance of the other party, if Xiao Linzi cannot escape, he may not be able to save his life.
However, Liang Yuanque couldn't protect himself, and he and Xiao Linzi were on opposite sides, so there was no need for him to help him out of kindness.
Just leave it to fate, anyway, those who are planning to kill must also be mentally prepared to be killed.
After learning that there was another wave of forces on the mountain, Liang Yuanque and Zhuang Youjie accelerated their pace, racing against time to get out of the mountain before dark.
There were fewer and fewer trees around them, and finally before the sun faded away its last rays of light, they saw another mountain with a completely different landscape.
In other words, they saw a jade mine.
Liang Yuanque let out a long breath and said, "Huh, it's right here."
"Wow, is this a jade mine?"
Zhuang Youjie had never seen a jade mine before. Strictly speaking, he had never been exposed to any type of mine.
At this moment, he couldn't help but sigh at the magic of nature. Two mountains so adjacent could have completely different appearances.
And under this relatively small but tough-looking mountain, there is actually good jade material buried under it.
Unfortunately, I heard that the mines here have been dug out long ago, and it is difficult to see the original appearance of the jade.
"Let's go in and take a look." Liang Yuanque patted his shoulder.
At this time, the sky was already dark. Looking at the mountains dormant in the darkness, Zhuang Youjie's anxiety rose again.
"Aren't we really going in just to run away?"
"You're here, let's go in and see if we can find something missing. This way, even if the old lady doesn't give us the gold bars later, we won't be considered a loser."
Liang Yuanque said and wanted to pull him away.
Zhuang Youjie was still a little resistant, "People say this mine is abandoned and there can't be anything in it."
Liang Yuanque felt his resistance and had no choice but to shake him off, "Okay, you wait for me where you are, but I can only give you a small share of what I bring out."
With that said, he was leaving.
Zhuang Youjie looked at the sky and the mountains behind him. If those people came out of the mountains and discovered him, he wouldn't be able to survive a single move!
He was still young and had not lived enough. He could not just die inexplicably.
So Master Zhuang gritted his teeth and followed Liang Yuanque, "Ahem, I'm not afraid of being carried alone, I'm just worried about you."
"Ah, yes," Liang Yuanque said politely, "Master Zhuang is here to protect me."
Perhaps because of the convenience of transportation, or perhaps because of the structure of the mountain, there are artificially built paths under the mines.
Moreover, one of the mines is actually opened at a very low position. Even Zhuang Youjie can easily climb up from this position without help, not to mention Liang Yuanque. Climbing into the mine is as easy as walking to the toilet.
Because it was dark, they didn't notice when they were at the bottom of the mountain. In fact, the mine had been sealed. There was a large iron chain hanging at the entrance, and a wooden board that was about to rot and weathered was hung on the chain.
The board said, "No Entry."
Zhuang Youjie breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the sign and the chain, pointed to Liang Yuanque and said,
"Look, Ah Que, they are not allowed in."
"He won't let in if he says he won't let in?" Liang Yuanque disagreed, "Do you think this little chain can trap me?"
After saying that, he immediately jumped into the air and rolled in neatly. If there was any sloppiness in his movements, he would lose.
Zhuang Youjie also tested the iron chain and felt that if he raised his leg harder, he should be able to bury it in it.
But Liang Yuanque stopped him,
"Forget it. The jade mine has been abandoned. Entry at the entrance is prohibited probably because some places inside have cave-ins or are likely to collapse. If something happens, you won't be able to run fast."
Zhuang Youjie was such a stubborn person, and he subconsciously wanted to refute, but after thinking carefully about the safety of his life, he took his legs back.
"Then you go and come back quickly."
After thinking for a while, he added, "If you are in danger, you can still call me. I can also help a little bit."
Liang Yuanque nodded, turned on the flashlight and walked in.
Inside is a long, dark corridor, with rubble and domestic garbage discarded by workers at its feet, and not a single jade material left out.
It seemed that everything was very clean during the withdrawal. Looking at the garbage all over the ground, Liang Yuanque was very heartbroken.
After walking about ten meters, the walls on both sides of the corridor became narrower and narrower. He knew that he was almost at the end.
Liang Yuanque waved his flashlight around, desperate to find some unexpected surprises.
When the flashlight passed across the front, there seemed to be a flash of green.
It's impossible for the flowers and grass growing here to grow here. Liang Yuanque thought to himself, "It's a big piece of jadeite" and pointed his flashlight forward.
I saw a bluish-white woman's face appearing in the air very close to him!
