When he could see the figure clearly, Hua Rujin's little blushed face showed a look of astonishment: "Why... why are you here?"
It’s true that what you say means what you say, and it will appear when it should appear.
Ye Chenggui's slender fingers grasped her palm tightly, pulling upwards with force, and quickly adjusted his posture during the rapid fall.
In just an instant, the two of them stood up straight.
After regaining his balance, Ye Chengguan replied calmly: "I heard some movement in the house, so I rushed in."
Then he glanced at the protruding rocks not far away, stepped on the bed under his feet, and jumped directly over.
"Boom."
The bed was the first to fall into the ground, making a loud and hollow sound.
Hua Rujin grabbed his thick shoulders and looked up. The cracked floor had been completely closed at this time.
"I didn't expect that there was a secret hidden in this house?"
Hua Rujin lamented: "No wonder the man disappeared after entering the mourning hall last night. I'm afraid he was hiding under here."
"Let's go down first."
Ye Chengguan helped her step on several smooth stone walls and just as she landed, he heard a familiar voice coming from behind:
"You... you..."
The two of them turned around when they heard the sound. Looking at the bonfires lit on various stone platforms, they saw Dou Yue staring at this side with his mouth open.
"Surprised or not?"
Hua Rujin smiled at him: "We came here specially to accompany Yuan Wai to perform this play, otherwise it would be so lonely for Yuan Wai to finish the play alone."
Dou Yue was so angry that he gritted his teeth and stared at Ye Chengguan with his eyes getting colder: "Ye Zhixian didn't go to Huangli Gang?"
"Executive member Dou didn't go either."
Ye Chengguan had a calm look on his face: "Mr. Dou wants to lure the tiger away from the mountain, so naturally I can only take advantage of his plan."
"It turns out you have noticed all this a long time ago."
A rare hint of anger appeared on Dou Yue's cold and lonely face: "How did you notice it? Is it because I didn't arrange everything carefully enough? Wasn't the scene in the mourning hall last night not scary enough?"
After three consecutive questions that hit his soul, he gradually felt a sense of frustration that he had never experienced before.
I originally wanted to come to greet my daughter-in-law, but I didn't expect to bump into Ye Chengwei.
Hua Rujin saw that he was getting angry with embarrassment, and there was a faint smile of helplessness on her face: "It's scary, it's really scary, the staff has arranged it very carefully, but no matter how meticulous things are, it can't be guaranteed. After all, my daughter-in-law has stayed at Dou's house for three years.
Even though I was young, I still knew a little bit about the affairs of the family, and not everyone could be fooled by those charlatanisms that deceive people."
"I see."
Dou Yue suddenly realized: "I have underestimated you, girl."
"Tell me, where did you hide your son Dou Yuanqian?"
Ye Chengguan clenched the iron sword in his hand and carefully observed his surroundings. He saw that the tunnel not far behind him was filled with dark coffins, and he immediately sensed something was wrong.
"Huh, Magistrate Ye, although you are smart, if you come to this old world today, you won't be able to get out alive again."
Dou Yue slowly opened his mouth and showed an evil and arrogant smile: "Today, you will be buried here along with my disobedient daughter-in-law."
As soon as he finished speaking, he vowed to retreat back, shouting as he did so: "Dao Zhang Huang, what are you waiting for? Why don't you come out quickly and solve this problem for me?"
Hearing this, Hua Rujin and Ye Chengguan both became more vigilant and looked around cautiously.
But in the dark tunnel, except for the burning bonfire, there was only silence.
"Zodiac Master?"
Dou Yue's expression tightened: "Zang Dao Zhang."
After calling several times, there was finally a response.
"It's coming, it's coming, why bother?"
Several people looked for a voice and saw an unkempt figure rushing out from behind the coffin, carrying a Taoist priest in yellow robes with five-flowered bundles on his shoulders.
The old Taoist priest had something stuffed in his mouth and was babbling and speechless.
After the man came in, he calmly threw the yellow-robed Taoist priest to the ground, then opened the lid of a coffin, took out a female corpse in red clothes, and then stuffed the yellow-robed Taoist priest inside.
Quickly close the coffin lid.
The whole process was completed in one go, and it seemed that the people around him were not seen at all.
Then, he looked for a hammer and a few nails on the ground, and while driving the nails into the coffin lid, he looked at Hua Rujin impatiently: "I said, girl, you should come over to help. Are you tired?"
I can't die."
"Old beggar?"
Hua Rujin took a closer look and realized that the man was the old beggar she met in Huangliu Lane a few days ago.
The old beggar banged the coffin lid with a hammer and cursed: "I have told you before that you can't believe what this old man said. This old man is very bad. If he is released today, who among us will suffer?"
Don’t even think about going out.”
"Where did you come from, old thing? Where did you sneak in?"
Dou Yue was confused by the sudden appearance of the old man and rushed forward to stop him.
Seeing this, Hua Rujin also chased after him with great strides.
Ye Chengguan took a few steps forward to stop Dou Yue, looked back at the female body in red on the ground, and roughly concluded his guess.
When he looked at Hua Rujin out of the corner of his eye, his expression looked particularly complicated.
He didn't expect that this girl's guess would actually help him solve such a big serial mystery.
He immediately looked at Dou Yue, his handsome face darkening: "It seems that all the cases of missing girls in the county in recent years are the fault of Dou Yue?"
Dou Yue neither admitted nor denied, and slowly took a few steps back, raising the corners of his mouth with an evil smile: "Even if you seal Huang Laodao to death in this coffin, you still can't get out of this tunnel."
Get out alive."
After finishing speaking, he stretched out the thumb and index finger of his right hand and pinched his lower lip and blew a long whistle. Not long after, he saw a white shadow passing through the air, running towards this direction like a ghost in the tunnel.
Seeing this, Ye Chengguan drew his iron sword and rushed forward.
"Old man, please keep an eye on Mr. Dou, and I'll go help."
Hua Rujin took out the dagger from her wedding dress and held it in her hand, but before she could move, she was stopped by the old beggar: "That won't work, you have to guard the evil Taoist priest inside for me. This old guy is not a serious Taoist priest.
"Although the trick of pretending to be a ghost is inferior, the ability to raise voodoo to cause trouble is not inferior."
As he spoke, he glanced anxiously at the female corpse in front of him: "There are more than thirty voodoo insects in these more than thirty coffins. If the voodoo insects are awakened, it will be a tricky thing."
"Gu insect?"
Hua Rujin's heart trembled.
I had only heard of this thing before, but never thought it actually existed.
She bent down and uncovered the head of the female corpse on the ground, and a lifelike face was immediately revealed.
His pale face was like a piece of paper wrapped tightly around his cheekbones, looking tight.
Except for being brighter in color, it is actually almost the same as a dried mummy specimen.
When the old beggar ruined his plan, Dou Yue was furious. His veins were exposed and he rushed to the coffin. He roared angrily: "You old beggar, how dare you ruin my good deeds."
With flowers like brocade and eyes like blades, she swung the dagger in her hand and stopped him directly: "Executive member Dou, this is not the top. You are weak and weak, so you'd better be wiser. As long as I am the helper inside, you can do it."
Stop counting on it."
"What, you still want to do something treacherous and unethical?"
Dou Yue's eyes widened.
"Mr. Dou is really good at joking. Our two families are now well aware of the marriage, so why bother pretending to be confused."
Hua Rujin looked at him coldly: "At best, I am doing justice for heaven."
"Not bad."
The old beggar also echoed: "Surnamed Dou, how can you do it if you carry the name of a good person but don't do human things? I am teaching you to abandon evil and promote good."
