The sound was very loud, and the little fool immediately stopped and signaled Xiaolan with his eyes. Xiaolan understood and rushed towards the stairs, like a rabbit sticking its head out of a hole to check the situation. He looked around and waited for a few seconds to make sure there was no one there.
Xiaolan quietly climbed out of the stairs and moved slowly to the restaurant, where she could already hear Xiaoyin chatting with the sister at the front desk.
"Oh my God, why is this happening? Why don't you dump him when he does this?"
"Alas...we have been here for several years...and it's not..."
"I feel so sorry for you, what are you going to do..."
"I don't know, I just feel confused... But I feel better after talking to people..."
Xiaolan took out the cell phone given by the Taoist Master, entered a string of text, and sent it.
Keep your ears open and listen.
The breeze blew from the front door to the back door, and the only thing the wind brought was the conversation between Xiaoyin and the sister at the front desk. Xiaolan remained still and calm.
Occasionally, a few cars pass by outside the door, and the leaves are rustling. The farce just now is over, and everything has returned to peace.
Not a single extra sound.
Xiaolan squeezed her phone tightly and was so nervous that she broke into a cold sweat.
Finally, the news came.
"Cut the wall eight times and take out two bricks. Can you hear me?"
Xiaolan is typing.
"Safety."
Finally we can officially explore the secret!
Xiaolan turned around and walked towards the stairs step by step, trying her best to move as lightly as possible, but she was still urging herself anxiously in her heart.
"Why do I feel like there is a sound over there in the restaurant?"
The questioning words of the sister at the front desk also reached Xiaolan's ears, and Xiaolan was so frightened that she stopped immediately.
Don't come, don't come, don't come...
We can’t let all our efforts go to waste at this moment!
Her back was soaked with cold sweat, and it seemed as if a hand slowly climbed up Xiaolan's back and grabbed her throat.
"Ah? What's the sound?" Xiaoyin was speaking, "You watch here, I'll go take a look."
"good."
Xiaolan finally relaxed and felt that her whole body had been sublimated.
Although I know that the sister at the front desk will not do anything to me, this feeling is too terrible...
Fortunately, Xiaoyin reacted quickly enough. Xiaolan squatted down and listened to Xiaoyin's footsteps gradually approaching.
Xiaolan turned around and saw Xiaoyin standing behind her.
"There's nothing, maybe you heard me wrong," Xiaoyin pretended to look around and gave Xiaolan an encouraging look, "How about I close the back door so that you can't see it alone."
"No need, I'll go!" the sister at the front desk said from a distance, accompanied by the sound of standing up from the chair.
"Oh no, no need," Xiaoyin walked straight to the back door. When she passed Xiaolan, she waved her hand to tell her to leave quickly, "You should keep a close watch at the front door, in case a thief comes in..."
Can't wait any longer.
Xiaolan used Xiaoyin's footsteps as cover and rushed into the basement.
——————————————————————
Breathing heavily, Xiaolan saw the two people leaning against the wall.
The Taoist priest and the little fool stopped and were discussing something in a low voice by the wall.
Xiao Lan was very curious. The two of them didn't seem to have gotten the result, but why didn't they continue? With such curiosity, Xiao Lan also came over.
"What's wrong? What's wrong?"
The first thing they saw was the red bricks on the ground. In the short time they went out, the Taoist priest and the little fool actually took out so many bricks.
"Xiaolan, thank you for your hard work," the Taoist priest turned his head, frowning, and called Xiaolan to stand next to him, "The fool has taken out three layers of red bricks, and hasn't dug anything out yet. The two of us are now
We are discussing whether to continue digging or filling in first, and we will take a look at it later when we have the opportunity."
"Well," Xiaolan nodded, "it's really hard to decide."
"Then give me an idea."
"...?"
What's my idea? Why should a low-level employee like me make such a major decision?
"I, I, I...I didn't...how did it become my decision..."
Xiaolan looked at the Taoist priest, at the little fool, and at the hole they dug. She felt not only confused but also humbled.
"The Taoist Master and I can't decide." The little fool weighed the hammer in his hand, giving Xiaolan the illusion that it was very light. "This time, Xiaolan, you have the final say. If something goes wrong, you can take the blame."
I’ll pass it on to you.”
"Xiaolan, don't listen to his nonsense," the Taoist priest solemnly patted her shoulder, "We two boys only know how to analyze the pros and cons, now we need female perception to guide us, and Xiaolan is a smart child, we are both
I believe you."
Xiaolan looked at the Taoist priest explaining seriously, and what she was thinking was that she had not thought too much before the Taoist priest explained. After he explained, Xiaolan seemed to really see a black pot flying towards her.
But time is tight now, and I don’t know how long Baomu and Pineapple Maple Sugar can last. The longer it goes on, the higher the possibility of an accident.
Difficulties are really tough. Xiaolan ignored the blame and analyzed the current situation seriously.
"Our original plan was to find out the secret of this wall today, and then go to the village tomorrow to find out about the burned girl and the dead villagers." Xiaolan grabbed her hair, looking distressed, "After that, we will
We need to confirm who committed suicide on the mountain, and we also need to find the 'world' of the deceased..."
The Taoist priest and the little fool nodded and listened carefully.
Xiaolan made her own decision and raised her head to look at the two people.
"Actually... we don't seem to have extra time. We can go back to the hotel and arrange a new game to deceive the bosses. And I always feel..." Xiaolan had a little self-doubt, seeing the Taoist priest trusted him.
After looking at her, her tone became more confident, "I always feel that the secrets of this hotel and the secrets of the village may have something to do with each other."
The Taoist priest nodded and looked at her with complicated eyes.
Xiaolan didn't know whether what she said was right or wrong, and looked back and forth between the two of them.
No matter what, you have to decide quickly.
"Okay, okay, chisel chisel!" The little fool saw the looks in Xiaolan's and Taoist priest's eyes, and felt that Xiaolan's words made more sense. He tightened his grip on the hammer in his hand, "Just think it's for gakki!"
With one hammer blow, the chisel penetrated deep into the wall. The little fool skillfully tilted the chisel, and with another hammer blow, half of the brick was pried out.
Xiaolan was stunned, no wonder it happened so quickly.
"The fool is very strong," the Taoist priest smiled at Xiaolan, "We will leave all the strength work to him, you're welcome."
"Does this count as hard work? You still don't understand me well enough."
The little fool said as he took off the excavated bricks, and the three of them leaned over to see if there were endless bricks behind them, or the secret that everyone was looking forward to.
It was pitch black beyond my sight.
Xiaolan was confused, thinking that if it was a brick, it shouldn't be dark.
When the Taoist priest and the little fool saw the black hole, they became obviously excited. The little fool sped up their movements, cutting and removing bricks as fast as twice the speed.
Xiaolan knew that this was a good thing and got into a hurry, but she couldn't do anything but help stack the bricks.
The secret of the hotel, the secret of the village, you will soon be able to see a corner of reality in this vast fog.
As more and more bricks were removed, a large dark hole appeared in front of several people.
As if they had already guessed this situation, none of the three people's reactions were very violent.
"This boss's house really has a secret passage."
The three people probed into the cave, and the Taoist priest turned on the flashlight, trying to see how deep the cave was and where it led.
Xiaolan also imagined a series of consequences in his mind. The secret passage leads directly to Lianshui Village. There is a corpse hidden in the secret passage. Someone suddenly rushed out of the secret passage. He was mentally prepared.
But things were completely different from what she imagined.
"this……"
The little fool's voice sounded from her right. What Xiaolan wanted to express at this time was the same as the little fool. She couldn't say anything except doubts and surprise.
"It seems that things are not that simple." The Taoist Master looked at it a few more times and left from the hole. "Let's put the bricks back first. We can't find anything from the investigation here."
Xiaolan's brows were already frowning, and she took one last look at the big hole that was finally dug.
The hole opened vertically downward, and the secret passage that should have been spacious was now blocked.
The cave was filled to the brim with rocks and debris of all sizes.
Stones of different sizes, even ceramic shards and pots and pans, the passage was blocked by all kinds of things, covering up the secrets here.
It also conceals a series of sad stories. This chapter has been completed!
