Chapter 32 This is a bitch
Zhao Ti narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking, could it be that Duan Yu came looking for him?

It would be impossible for anyone else to find the cave at the bottom of the valley in a short time. It was most likely that Duan Yu took the same old route and was knocked off the cliff and entered this place.

So, should we kill the witness to silence him?
Zhao Ti's internal energy circulated as he walked back silently.

After walking around for a few times, he entered the stone chamber where the jade statue was, and saw Duan Yu standing in front of the jade statue, staring at it infatuatedly.

Zhao Ti had a blank expression on his face. He touched his chin, and after a few breaths of silence, he suddenly spoke: "Brother Duan."

Duan Yu stood in front of the jade statue as if he was deaf. He stared at the statue with his eyes, muttering something, looking completely dazed.

Zhao Ti rubbed his forehead and walked over slowly. Duan Yu didn't notice him until he was close. He could only cough hard, "Brother Duan!"

"Ah..." Duan Yu was startled for a moment, then he came to his senses and looked at Zhao Ti with a look of astonishment: "Zhao, Brother Zhao?"

Zhao Ti said with a straight face, "Why are you here, Brother Duan?"

Duan Yu was embarrassed when he heard this. He remembered that he had eavesdropped on the intimate relationship between the male and female disciples of Wuliang Sword on the cliff before, which was not a gentlemanly act. He could not help but stammer, "Zhao, Brother Zhao, is this your home?"

Zhao Ti nodded and said, "It's my home."

Duan Yu immediately looked somewhat delighted, but then froze again, revealing a flustered expression mixed with a hint of anticipation: "Brother Zhao, is Sister Divine your sister?"

Zhao Ti glanced at the jade statue and asked, "Brother Duan, do you think we look alike?"

Duan Yu nodded hurriedly: "Alike, they are so alike, just like twins."

Zhao Ti burst into laughter, stepped forward and gently patted Duan Yu on the shoulder: "Brother Duan, to be honest, this jade statue is my wife."

"Husband...what husband?" Duan Yu felt as if struck by lightning upon hearing this, and suddenly felt uncomfortable with mixed feelings in his heart.

"It means my wife, my wife-in-law, and my wife..." Zhao Ti said with a smile.

"I, I don't believe it..." Duan Yu's face turned pale, he looked at Zhao Ti and said, "Brother Zhao must be joking with me. Brother Zhao can't live here. There are few things in this valley, how can we live here..."

Zhao Ti pretended to be angry and said, "Why not? I originally lived here, but my wife gave birth to a child and it was inconvenient to live here, so we moved to Suzhou in the Song Dynasty. If you don't believe me, there is still a baby's cradle inside!"

Duan Yu became distraught upon hearing this, his eyes were blank and he stopped talking.

Zhao Ti had given up the idea of silencing him, so he didn't want to see him like this. Just as he was about to speak frankly, he saw Duan Yu's face suddenly flushed as if he had thought of something. He asked, "Brother Zhao, since you said that the fairy sister is your wife, do you know her name?"

Zhao Ti said, "My wife."

Duan Yu said awkwardly, "What a fool! What a fool! I know Brother Zhao is a gentleman, please let Brother Zhao tell me."

Zhao Ti frowned and said, "Does a gentleman ask for the name of a woman's wife?"

Duan Yu's face turned even redder. At this moment, he wished he could find a hole in the ground to crawl into. He stammered but couldn't utter a word.

Zhao Ti shook his head and sighed, "But we are all from the same world. It doesn't matter if you tell Brother Duan. If we meet again in the future, maybe I'll even call you sister-in-law."

Duan Yu was stunned: "Fairy sister...sister-in-law?" Zhao Ti laughed and said: "What fairy sister? She is just a woman who only knows how to dress up, draw eyebrows and do hair, and read some dead books all day long."

Duan Yu glanced at the jade statue, then at Zhao Ti, and said, "Brother Zhao..."

Zhao Ti said, "By the way, my wife's name is Wang Yuyan. Remember to call her sister-in-law when you see her in the future. I won't say any more to Brother Duan. I have some things to do outside."

"Wang... Yuyan." Duan Yu murmured, "What a good name! Fairy Sister really gave you a good name. Hey, Brother Zhao..."

Zhao Ti ignored him and walked directly along a set of stone stairs that led diagonally upwards beside the room. This was the secret passage leading out of the valley in his memory.

"Brother Zhao, you, what you just said is true..." Seeing that Zhao Ti did not respond and disappeared for a moment, Duan Yu felt very sad and thought to himself, yes, yes, Brother Zhao is so familiar with this place, he must not be lying.

He recalled what Zhao Ti had just said and wanted to go in to see if there was a baby's cradle, but he was hesitant and reluctant. At this moment, he saw that there seemed to be words on the embroidered shoes under the jade statue, so he hurriedly bent down to take a look.

However, on the inside right side of the embroidered shoe, it was embroidered with "Kowtow a thousand times and serve me", and on the left side, it was embroidered with "Follow my orders and have no regrets even if you die."

Duan Yu was stunned, thinking, what does this mean? Why did the fairy sister carve these words on it? Why didn't Brother Zhao tell me just now?

However, he felt miserable at this moment, as if there was no place for him anymore in the world, and everything in the world had lost its meaning. He was alone and miserable until his death, and he no longer cared about so much. He knelt down on the big cushion and kowtowed continuously.

While I was kowtow, I was thinking vaguely, the fairy sister asked me to kowtow a thousand times, so I will kowtow two thousand times, three thousand times...

The small cushion in front was already torn, revealing the cattail grass inside. He kowtowed so hard that the grass debris flew everywhere. Although the cushion was thick, it kept collapsing and becoming thinner as he kowtowed.

He didn't know how many times he knocked his head in the end, but Duan Yu felt that all his strength was gone, and he fell to the ground, gasping for breath.

Zhao Ti entered the secret passage and walked straight up. He turned three corners and didn't know how far he had walked. He vaguely heard the rumbling sound of water and couldn't help feeling happy.

Then he quickened his pace and walked to the end of the passage. In front of him was a cave that was barely big enough for one person to live. He looked out and saw raging waves and fast-flowing water. It turned out to be a big river.

The rocky mountains on Jiang'an Mountain are steep and rugged, and they must be the Lancang River.

The place where he was at the moment was about ten feet above the river bank, but it was not straight and steep enough to climb down.

After a while, he went down to the river bank, and all he saw was a pile of rocks. There was no path to walk on. He put his hands on the awning and looked around, but he did not see Zhou Tongsu Da.

Zhao Ti pondered for a few breaths, then leaned over and used stones to build several special shapes as secret signals. He then walked forward, leaving secret marks every one or two miles, until after seven or eight miles, he saw a wild peach tree, walked forward to pick some fruits and ate them until he was half full.

Then we continued to move forward, and after walking for another ten miles, we finally saw a road. We followed the road forward and saw a cable bridge across the river. On the stone beside the bridge were three big characters "Shanrendu".

Zhao Ti frowned and thought for a while. There were continuous mountains on this side of the Lancang River. Since he hadn't seen Zhou Tong and the others all the way, it would not be a good idea to stay here any longer. Anyway, he had already left a secret signal, and the two of them knew that he was safe, so he could just follow them.

Then he stepped onto the iron bridge to cross the river. He saw the river water rushing below like a galloping horse. His body swayed with the iron chains, but it was like the wind blowing on the willows. He had no effort at all and crossed the river in a moment.

There was a road on the other side of the river. After walking for about half an hour, he saw a large black forest in front of him. The forest was covered with tents and blocked the light. It was very dark and deep.
