After returning to the village, start chasing the mountain from binding Emei

Chapter 413: Randomly recognize relatives? Your grandmother is my aunt!

After hearing what Huang Can said, Chen Yang's forehead was covered with black lines.

It seems that I really didn't take those people in the bitter bamboo forest seriously and forgot about them in the blink of an eye.

Calculating the time, it has been four or five days. Are those people from the Li family still imprisoned in that dungeon?
Don’t you know how to call for help?

……

Huang Can said, "I was playing cards at Second Master's house yesterday and heard Second Master talking about this. In the evening, I also went to the bitter bamboo forest for a walk. I vaguely seemed to hear some sound, which seemed to come from underground..."

This guy is really brave. If others encountered this kind of thing, they wouldn't even have time to hide. But he went back and thought about it all night. Then he came here early in the morning with a hoe on his shoulder, ready to go to the bitter bamboo forest to take another look.

"I'm going to take a look too!"

Chen Yang patted his thighs and stood up, worried about looking back and forgetting about it again.

……

Bitter bamboo forest.

When Chen Yang arrived at the scene next to the Toad Temple, he was stunned to find that the underground cave had been filled up.

"This……"

Chen Yang's face trembled, "Who filled this out?"

He only remembered that he just pushed a stone down to block the entrance of the cave that day, and did not pile any soil inside!

Huang Can scratched his head, "Didn't Chen Guoqiang and his team fill it out?"

How long ago was it that Chen Guoqiang and his team filled the hole?
It seemed that Huang Can didn't know that the cave had been dug up again.

Maybe it was Mr. Song who filled it out after I left one day?
After all, if such a big hole is not filled up, it will pose a safety hazard to passers-by.

No sound was heard in the woods.

Chen Yang used his mental power to probe downwards.

The cave was very deep. In a passage about forty or fifty meters below, there were three people sitting.

At this time, the three of them were extremely depressed. They sat against the wall, looking listless and covered in mud.

"I told you to leave one person up there to keep watch, but you insisted on coming down together. Now what?"

The young man's lips were cracked. It had been four days and they had no food with them. They were already starving.

The voice was weak, but still full of complaints.

My cell phone was out of battery and there was no signal, so I couldn't even ask for help.

There was darkness all around.

He wasn't even sure if the two people next to him had starved to death.

Four days ago, they came to the dungeon. Apart from finding the damaged caravan's unique martial arts "Thirteen Scouting Styles" on the stone wall, they did not find what they were really looking for, not even a clue.

When they were about to leave in disappointment, they suddenly discovered that the exit was blocked.

It was blocked by a huge rock.

The three of them tried their best but failed to move the stone at all.

There was no signal on my cell phone, so I could only shout for help.

However, the bitter bamboo forest is so remote that no matter how loud they shout, no one in the village can hear them.

It was not until the next morning when they had shouted themselves hoarse that people finally showed up, and quite a few of them.

They thought they were saved and called for help.

But the people outside seemed to be deaf to what they were saying. Instead of rescuing them, they completely blocked the passage above. Mud fell through the gaps between the rocks. At that moment, their mentality collapsed.

Someone wants them to die!

"Save your energy, Xiaohui!"

An equally weak voice came from the darkness. A man in gray clothes sitting next to him said, "Be patient and wait. Someone will come to save us."

Although the way out was blocked, they were not without the ability to save themselves.

The Jianmen Li family is good at growing spiritual plants. How could Li Hui, as the son of the family head Li Mancang, not have any spiritual plants?

After the accident, they immediately asked the spiritual plant to report the news.

So, all they can do now is wait.

Li Hui was filled with an inexplicable fear. "Jianmen is too far from here. I'm afraid that we will starve to death here before our rescuers arrive."

The two people next to him didn't say anything.

It has been several days since the incident, and help has not arrived yet.

With the speed of the spiritual plant, it is unknown how long it will take to run from Lingjiang back to Jianmen, so they must be worried.

"We may have been ambushed this time."

After a long while, another man in black said, "Who knows who may have set up a trap to lure us here, hoping that we will die here silently..."

His voice was not loud, but it made Li Hui and the other man feel cold in their hearts.

In fact, they feel the same way.

Especially two days ago, those people should have heard their cries for help, but they still filled up the hole, clearly wanting them to die.

Li Hui was so hungry that he could not feel how hungry he was. His eyes flashed with a fierce light, "No need to ask, it must be that bastard Li Qian. Apart from him, no one else would wish me to die so much..."

Li Hui and Li Qian have never gotten along. Although Li Hui is not very strong, he is the son of Li Mancang, the head of the Li family. Li Qian is talented and has entered the spiritual realm at a young age, but he is from the second branch of the family. In a family like their Li family where feudal ideas still remain a lot, no matter how bad Li Hui is, as long as he is not dead, it will not be Li Qian's turn to stand out.

The two of them have always disliked each other and wished the other would die.

Li Hui didn't even need to think about it. He just used his brain to know that it must be Li Qian who set up such a trap and let the Li family's spy left in the caravan reveal such a news to him, making him rush here to look for Ding Huanchun's relics.

As a result, they locked him up here in an attempt to make him die quietly.

Just imagine, if he died, wouldn’t the beneficiary be Li Qian?
So, it was him who did it, that's for sure.

Li Hui took a deep breath and tried to calm the anger in his heart. "Good boy Li Qian, please don't let me get out alive, otherwise, I will tear you into pieces..."

The men next to him didn't say anything, and it was obvious that they all thought so.

The open and covert struggles between the two brothers have been going on for a long time.

……

"It seems to be silent again."

Huang Can walked around in the woods. Apart from the rustling sound of the bamboo leaves rubbing against each other in the wind, he heard no other sound.

He felt a little strange. When he came here yesterday, he did hear vaguely a sound similar to a human voice, and it was quite heart-wrenching.

"Do you want to dig it up and take a look?"

Huang Can walked up to Chen Yang. This was a big project. If he worked alone, he might not be able to dig it out even after dark.

Chen Yang was a little hesitant. Should he save the three people below?

It seems that rescuing them will do no good to me.

Generally speaking, Chen Yang is too lazy to do things that are not beneficial.

He ignored Huang Can, but walked to the edge of the woods and called Fiona Sit.

Sure enough, the soil was filled by people sent by Fiona Sit.

This woman is really cruel.

At that time, she told Chen Yang that she was not responsible for the matter. Unexpectedly, as soon as Chen Yang left, she arranged for people to fill the soil.

It is imperative that the three people below be killed.

Since it was Fiona Sit who sent people to fill the soil, Chen Yang had no reason to dig the soil to save people.

Huang Can spat into the palm of his hand, grabbed the hoe and prepared to dig.

Chen Yang walked over and said, "Are you sure you want to dig? If you want to dig, do it yourself and fill it back with soil yourself. I won't waste your time."

Huang Can was stunned for a moment. "I really heard some noise last night. I was worried that there might be someone buried underneath..."

Chen Yang said, "When Uncle Guodong and the others were filling the soil, weren't you there? We all went in there, so who else could be inside?"

Huang Can thought about it and it seemed to be the case.

But what was that sound I heard down there last night?

If he was the only one who heard it, he might have heard it wrong, but many people in the village had heard it.

If there is no one down there, where does the sound come from?

Could it be that there really is a ghost?

"Or, let's dig it up and have a look, just in case..."

Huang Can hesitated for a moment. As the saying goes, saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. What if there really is someone buried underneath?
"Then you dig it yourself. I'm going to go back and catch up on some sleep."

Chen Yang yawned, ignored him, and walked straight to the edge of the woods.

Huang Can looked at Chen Yang, then at the hoe in his hand.

He dug such a big project by himself?
What the hell are you digging for?
He is not a fool. Does he really have nowhere to use his strength?
When Chen Yang left, he suddenly lost interest. He put the hoe on his shoulder, felt a chill on his back, and quickly followed him out.

……

What Chen Yang didn't expect was that just after they came out of the bitter bamboo forest and hadn't walked far, they saw a group of people walking towards the bitter bamboo forest in a hurry.

The leader was Chen Guoqiang, followed by a dozen people wearing rubber shoes and carrying hoes.

Except for a few unfamiliar faces, the rest were villagers.

"Uncle Guoqiang, what's going on?"

When everyone came closer, Chen Yang asked in confusion.

Seeing Chen Yang and the others, Chen Guoqiang's eyes lit up, "That's great, bring your hoe and help out."

They are here to capture able-bodied men.

A female boss came to the village just now and found Chen Guoqiang, saying that a younger generation in her family went to Jiapiqiao to explore and was trapped in a cave and couldn't get out.

At first Chen Guoqiang didn't take it seriously, but since this man called the security personnel over, he had to take it seriously.

I quickly called some villagers to come to the bitter bamboo forest to rescue people. A bunch of people were just chatting there. They kept saying that the bitter bamboo forest was haunted. It turned out that someone was buried there.

Huang Can was stunned for a moment. Did he really get it right?

Chen Yang's gaze fell on a middle-aged woman in a white suit next to him.

Is this the female boss that Chen Guoqiang mentioned?

……

Name: Li Chunxiao.

Physical fitness:1352.

Mental power: 1435/1500.

……

Li Chunxiao?
What Fiona Sit mentioned, the only female spiritual realm expert among the seven spiritual realm experts of the Li family?
She looks to be no more than fifty years old, over 1.7 meters tall, with a good figure. Although there are wrinkles on her face, there is still some remaining charm.

Apart from anything else, this woman is very powerful if you don't look at her face.

Feeling Chen Yang's gaze, Li Chunxiao also looked at him.

There was a strange light in her eyes, but she quickly hid it.

Her gaze stayed on Chen Yang briefly, and then fell on Huang Can.

Li Chunxiao raised his eyebrows slightly.

In such a small mountain village, among a group of farmers, Huang Can's physical cultivation of the second level is indeed very abrupt.

……

Following this group of people, we soon arrived at the bitter bamboo forest.

Chen Guoqiang drew a circle on the ground with a hoe, and then called on everyone to come forward and start digging.

A dozen people formed a circle and immediately started working in a hurry.

This work is not done in vain.

The female boss is very generous and gave each person 500 yuan as a reward for their hard work.

Otherwise, how would it be easy to find so many people at once?

While everyone was busy, Chen Yang stood by and watched coldly.

Huang Can is quite positive. Saving lives is secondary. The key is to make money.

500 yuan is enough for him to swing his hoe until it smokes.

……

Time passed by minute by minute.

Although there were many people on the scene, there were only about ten hoes, so the progress was not that fast. After almost half an hour of hard work, the soil layer only went down two or three meters.

At this time, Li Chunxiao walked towards Chen Yang.

"Young man, have we met somewhere before?"

Before Chen Yang could speak, Li Chunxiao said something inexplicable.

Chen Yang was stunned for a moment.

He turned to look at Li Chunxiao, thinking that this way of chatting up someone was a bit too old-fashioned.

I heard that women in their forties or fifties are as fierce as wolves and tigers. Don't tell me that I'm handsome and you have any improper thoughts about me?
Chen Yang opened his mouth and wanted to say, Auntie, let’s not make an appointment.

At this time, Li Chunxiao spoke again, "Is your last name Chen?"

Chen Yang frowned slightly.

Then he nodded and said, "My last name is Chen. Most people in our village have the last name Chen. But, we probably haven't met before, right?"

"Your name is Chen Yang, and your grandfather's name is Chen Jingzhi, right?"

Li Chunxiao said something out of the blue, which confused Chen Yang.

This woman, has she checked me?
His heart skipped a beat, but he remained calm on the surface. He just looked at the woman in front of him in surprise, "How did you know? Are we related?"

He just said this casually, but he didn't expect Li Chunxiao to nod and say, "I think so."

"Ok?"

Chen Yang looked surprised.

This Li Chunxiao is from the Jianmen Li family. How could I be related to her?
But Li Chunxiao said, "My mother's name is Guan Meiqi. She has a younger sister named Guan Meilin, who married Chen Jingzhi from the Chen family in Jiapigou..."

Having said that, she looked at Chen Yang, as if to say, now you should know what the relationship between us is, right?
Chen Yang was a little dazed.

To be honest, he was shocked by Li Chunxiao's words.

Li Chunxiao smiled, and then said, "In other words, your grandmother is my aunt, your grandfather is my uncle, and you, based on seniority, have to call me aunt!"

Chen Yang only felt thunder rumbling in the sky.

"You must be mistaken. My grandmother's name is Xiao Menglin, not Guan, nor is she Guan Meilin..."

Although Chen Yang was only a few years old when his grandmother passed away, he was not so old that he didn't know her name.

There is also a tablet for my grandmother at home, and the name written on the tablet is also Xiao Menglin.

This woman is probably making random claims of relatives.

You are a member of the Li family. I promised Fiona Sit that I would give your Li family a good beating. To be honest, I was just thinking about how to send you away. Who would have thought that you would come directly to me to claim to be your relative.

Isn't this reversal a bit unexpected?

Li Chunxiao was not surprised. She just smiled faintly and said, "You should ask your grandfather about this question."

Chen Yang raised his eyebrows.

Hearing the woman speak in a serious tone, as if it were really true, Chen Yang began to have doubts in his heart.

“I dug it up…”

Just at this moment, a loud shout came from the side.

Did you dig it through?
Chen Yang looked over and heard another voice, "We found a stone."

sweat!
A big pit had been dug on the ground, with a lot of soil piled around the pit. A group of people were gathered around the pit, and there were several people standing in the pit.

The pit has been dug four or five meters deep.

A huge stone appeared at the bottom of the pit.

A group of people were scratching their heads with hoes.

Chen Guoqiang was even more confused. He was the one who was in charge of digging the pit, and there were no stones at all.

What’s more, it’s such a big stone.

Huang Can stepped on the stone and said, "This stone is too big. It weighs at least several thousand kilograms. It's not easy to move..."

nonsense.

Who doesn’t know that it’s difficult to handle the scene?
"Go around and dig from the side."

Chen Guoqiang immediately made a decision that it was unrealistic to remove such a large piece of stone, unless an excavator could be brought over.

If an excavator could be brought in here, they wouldn't have to dig with hoes.

"Dig this way."

Huang Can quickly pointed in a direction. He still roughly remembered the location of the passage in the underground cave.

Everyone continued digging without saying a word.

But they were afraid that the pit would collapse, so they dug it very carefully.

Li Chunxiao folded his hands and watched everything calmly.

Chen Yang felt a little strange. "Didn't you say that your family's descendants were buried down there? Why do you seem not worried at all?"

"Do I need to show my worry on my face?" Li Chunxiao responded calmly.

Chen Yang was choked and simply didn't say anything else.

Li Chunxiao said, "It's not my son who is trapped, why should I worry? Even if it is my son, life and death are determined by fate, wealth and honor are determined by God, there is no point in worrying."

"This……"

Chen Yang paused.

What she said made sense, but to be able to say such words, it can be seen that this woman is still a bit hard-hearted.

"Susususu..."

There was the sound of soil falling.

It took another half an hour to finally dig it through.

A dark cave appeared in the deep pit.

It was pitch black, with a cool breeze blowing from outside, and it felt a bit eerie.

A few brave villagers jumped down.

Chen Guoqiang quickly reminded them to be careful. There were many poisonous spiders hidden in the cave. He had seen it with his own eyes. If one was not careful and got bitten by a spider, he might die in there.

However, his worries seemed unnecessary.

After about ten minutes, a young man and two middle-aged men were carried out from the dungeon below.

He was unkempt and covered in dirt.

The three of them lay on the ground, groaning weakly.

"Oh my, there really is someone buried down there?"

"People nowadays really don't know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is. They dare to explore anywhere..."

"Exploration? Don't tell me it's tomb robbing..."
