Li Hou watched as the sunlight slowly moved into the cave, and his gaze followed suit. He sniffed the air with his nose. There was a hint of coolness in the hot air around him. In this cold air, there was a slightly pungent smell of lime. However, why was there a trace of rotting smell hidden in this lime smell?
Li Hou recalled that Second Uncle Ye had mentioned to him during a casual chat that the method of storing corpses in the early years would use a large amount of lime. The two bodies found in the school were probably dealt with in the same way.
It seemed that there was a connection between this place and the two corpses. And the young couple mentioned by the workers was very likely to be the two corpses. However, he did not know how he got to school.
Thinking of this, Li Hou, who was originally half-squatting, subconsciously moved forward. He gently placed the soles of his feet on the wooden steps. The creaking sounds made Li Hou extra cautious. He wiped the sweat off his forehead and slowly stepped down with his pants up.
As soon as he reached the bottom, Li Hou's foot rubbed against the ground and he discovered the mystery of this place. There was a layer of black soil on the ground that was as thick as a finger, and below it was white lime. However, when he looked down again, he realized that there was another layer at the bottom.
Li Hou grabbed a little and crushed it in his hand. However, a small cut appeared on his finger.
"So it's broken glass!" Li Hou exclaimed as he came to a realization. He thought to himself,'It seems that something is wrong here. This is probably where a group of people stored those corpses. "It seems that our guess was right. They used corpses to transport poison. After so many times, there were no more corpses. They should be here.”
Li Hou walked in as he thought about it. With the light outside the cave, he could vaguely make out the appearance of the scene inside. Not far away, there were two rows of two-story wooden shelves on the left and right. Strangely, there was nothing on the shelf. However, from the traces of lime on it, one could tell that it was a corpse. The human figure was reflected on it. Li Hou smiled bitterly,"This is too bold."”
"Eh, this is?" Li Hou looked down. Why was there an iron basin under the shelf? Looking at the others, there was an iron basin under each shelf. Some had water, while others didn't.
"This, this, this!" Li Hou seemed to have thought of something bad and staggered back a few steps. He looked around in horror. At this moment, a light breathing sound came from the end of the darkness.
Li Hou thought to himself. Could it be that this was…?
At this moment, the wooden planks above Li Hou's head started to creak and the sound of hurried footsteps could be heard.
He widened his eyes and looked around. Then, he heard a person sitting up from the end of the darkness and slowly walking toward Li Hou.
At this moment, there was no way out. Li Hou was so anxious that his scalp went numb and his body was burning.
However, all of a sudden. Li Hou heard a sound behind him and turned around.
Li Hou felt like a cold water had been poured on his head. He took a deep breath and choked on the water. After coughing a few times, he slowly opened his eyes.
The moment she opened her eyes, she saw two dazed teenagers. Li Hou saw the two men pout and stare at him without moving. He was puzzled and was about to ask, but he felt his body ache all over, and the pain slowly appeared.
Looking around, he realized that he was tied to a pillar. Looking around, it looked like a cellar where farm tools and sundries were stored. There was only a two-leaf window on the upper right, which was still half-closed, as if it retained a sense of mystery.
Li Hou couldn't take it anymore. Seeing that the two dull young men didn't say anything, he asked," Hey! Young man, what are you doing?”
The other party did not respond.
"I said! Do you know who I am? And who are you people!" Li Hou said angrily, hoping to fool the two of them.
The other party did not respond.
"Two handsome guys! You guys should have made it clear even if you kidnapped him. Where's the morality of the martial world? I..."
The two young men looked at each other. The older one took out a wooden stick from his waist and hit Li Hou's head. Li Hou fainted again.
"Brother, Second Master called. Ask our Sixth Grandpa if he sent a police officer over?”The person next to him stammered.
"Yes, tell Second Master that we kidnapped a constable.”Another young man answered proudly.
"Oh! I'll let Second Master know."
The two of them turned around and walked out of the door, leaving Li Hou alone.
Lin Yi stared at the glass of wine in front of him and then looked at the person in front of him. He saw that he was looking at him calmly. Lin Yi knew that there was a look of suspicion in this person's eyes. The answer? Was this glass of wine the answer?
Lin Yi took a deep breath and downed the glass of wine on the table. The strong liquor flowed down his throat, down his esophagus, and into his stomach. It was like hot lava eroding bit by bit. This was the normal reaction of strong wine. However, after a while, the wine became extremely cold, as if a piece of ice had fallen into your bare back in the cold winter. It was also like when he had a fever, his whole body was shaking. Lin Yi opened his eyes and looked at the man in front of him.
He was actually smiling. He smiled and glanced at Lin Yi before turning to look at the booth at the side. There was a woman lying weakly on the deck, but she looked familiar. After taking a closer look, he realized that this was Li Qing, who had fought with Ling Qi that time! It was the manager that Zimei had found previously.
Lin Yi looked at the man in confusion. The man also looked at Weiyi and said softly," This is your punishment and your answer.”
This image was gradually dug out from Lin Yi's mind. That night, it was this man who had been in the dark and silent.
Lin Yi looked at this person in surprise, but suddenly felt that his body was burning hot. His neck felt like it was being strangled, and his windpipe was blocked, making it difficult for him to breathe. His entire body became extremely itchy, but this itch was very comfortable.
Then, Lin Yi's corpse turned around and walked towards Zi Mei, who had been observing Lin Yi.
His mouth was wide open, and he kept talking. His body was also twitching. He walked up to Zi Mei and suddenly reached out to grab her.
Seeing Li Zimei cry out in pain, Lin Yi's eyes gradually became clearer. However, this clarity only lasted for a moment before it turned red again. It was only when Lin Yi lay weakly on Zimei's body that it became quiet.
Lin Yi felt that he could not control his body at all. His vision turned black and he fell forward. His face came into contact with something soft, but he was helpless.
His consciousness gradually blurred as he wandered in the darkness. However, the light of a candle slowly appeared in the darkness.
As the lights appeared, Lin Yi heard hurried footsteps. Lin Yi looked around. This place was like a tunnel that was a few people wide. People came and went without stopping.
However, when everyone came and went, they did not greet him.
"Brother Song!"
"Brother Zhong ~"
He also replied,"Okay, be careful." Uncle, is Doudou alright?"
"It's alright. I'll send him some food later!”
"Uncle, take it." Lin Yi took out a piece of cornbread and handed it to the person who was talking to him. Only then did Lin Yi react. Whose body was it? Whose memories were these? Yes! If it was this Song Zhong, then it should be that man.
"Heavy, heavy! Come quickly. Come quickly!" Song Zhong heard someone calling him at the end of the tunnel and rushed over.
"Brother Kuan, what's wrong?" At the end of the tunnel, in front of a stone door, there were three to five shirtless men gathered. The leader was a 1.8-meter-tall brawny man with a towel tied to his head. He held a hammer and chisel in his hands and was half-squatting as he continuously chiseled the stone door in front of him.
Seeing that Song Zhong had returned, the man signaled for the other to continue while he pulled Song Zhong to the side.
"Heavy, I think this is the first stone door that the old chief mentioned.”The man called Brother Kuan, who everyone called Da Kuan, was a serious person. He was currently in charge of the matters at hand with Song Zhong.
"Sigh, after digging for so many days, I finally saw it. Can you break it open?" Song Zhong glanced at the Green Stone Gate. There were many embossed carved on it, but he could not understand them. However, this embossed became the key to fulfilling his wish in the future. It was just that it was too late for him to understand.
"I don't think it can be smashed open! I'll bring two people to try it tonight. If it really doesn't work, I can only force it!”Da Kuan sighed helplessly.
"Use explosives?" Song Zhong asked softly.
Da Kuan nodded, and Song Zhong understood. This was a last resort, even though they were already at the juncture of life and death. However, the old chief had instructed them not to make such a big commotion. In recent days, there were some unidentified people around the village. They disguised themselves as food vendors, but were actually robbers. They robbed houses and dug up ancestral graves.
A few rich families in the neighboring villages before the disaster had all been kidnapped in less than a year.
"Alright, then I'll go out and explain the situation to the old patriarch first.”
Song Zhong whispered to Da Kuan and walked to the other end of the tunnel. Slowly, the candlelight disappeared, and the sunlight shone in through the hole. Lin Yi felt an oppressive aura rising from the bottom of his heart. He carefully searched for the source, but there was no trace.
He suddenly felt someone holding his body. He struggled slightly, but his nose touched some liquid.
Before he could do anything else, a nauseating liquid poured into his mouth. He tried his best not to swallow it, but it was forced down his throat.
Suddenly, he sat up and opened his eyes. He looked around and found himself lying in Zi Mei's arms.
When he raised his head to look at that little face again, it was already filled with anger. She sniffed and scolded,"Damn Lin Yi, can you behave yourself?"
As she spoke, Li Zimei splashed the cup of soap water on Lin Yi. Lin Yi saw the tigress show her might and hurriedly stood up. At this moment, he heard the outsider from the booth say,"Aiya! Brother Lin, are you bullying our Sister Zimei again?"”
"Ahhh! He cared about us because we were innocent! I didn't do anything." As he spoke, Lin Yi raised his right hand and pointed at the two people.
"You, you, you, you pervert. I'll strangle you to death.”Li Zimei tightened her shirt and rushed towards Lin Yi.
Lin Yi didn't hesitate to take his coat and hat from his connections and ran out of the door in a hurry.
Before he left, he didn't forget to say,"I'll look for you again when I'm done."
Li Zimei pretended to be angry, but she was actually happy. Seeing Lin Yi walk away, she stood there angrily, hands on her waist, looking at the person's back.
Seeing this, he smiled and teased,"Yo, yo, yo! Brother Lin was still fast! Otherwise, you would have strangled me."
When Li Zimei heard this, she quickly understood what he meant. It turned out that he was concerned about this little girl teasing him and wanting to embarrass him!
Li Zimei put down her hands and clenched them tightly. Her fingers made a crisp sound as she smiled and said,"Ah!" Lin Sepei left. Little Guan, you're itching for a beating! See if I don't clean up for you.”
As they spoke, the two of them began to play around. The surrounding customers laughed out loud. It was not bad to watch the two beauties fight.
In a hidden booth in the bar, Li Qing lay weakly on the sofa. Song Zhong hid behind the screen. After seeing Lin Yi leave, he returned to Li Qing's side.
Seeing Song Zhong sit down, Li Qing asked weakly," Brother Song, why did you let that policeman know about you?”
Song Zhong held his forehead and wiped the sweat off his forehead. He said softly," Qing 'er, it's time to face those things again."”
When the weak woman in front of her heard this, she looked at the man beside her affectionately. The scenes from before appeared in her mind again. She sobbed and shook her head, muttering," No, no!”
