Li Ying was startled by the sudden voice. She looked for the sound and saw two people standing behind a grave not far away. They were about thirty years old and looked at them with evil smiles on their faces.
Li Ying's heart suddenly tightened. These two people should have been sitting behind the grave just now, and they kept silent, so they didn't notice. But why did these two people want them to get into the tomb?
"There are dead people buried in the graves. I will not get into the cemetery." Li Ying said as she picked up Wu Jianlin and left, but was stopped by Wu Di.
Wu Jianlin pushed Wu Di away and said angrily: "Get out of the way, we are going home."
Wu Jiang grabbed Wu Jianlin's arm and said, "If you leave, how will Wu Di and I get the reward?"
Wu Jianlin, Wu Jie and Li Ying looked at Wu Di and Wu Jiang in shock. Did Wu Di and Wu Jiang deliberately lure them here just to sell them for money? Two people approached Li Ying and the others. The bearded man and woman looked at Wu Di and Wu Jiang, smiled and praised, "Well done."
"You promised us 200 yuan as long as we brought the person. We brought the person, now give us the money." Wu Jiang said.
The bearded man smiled evilly, "Since we are here, let's go in together. As long as you find the treasure, you can take any one and it will last you a lifetime."
Wu Di thought that the cemetery was dark and there were dead people, so he refused: I won't go in, please give the money to me and Wu Jiang. "
"It's not up to you." The tall and thin man said, taking out a dagger and putting it between Wu Di's eyebrows. "Boy, be obedient, or I will put the knife on your neck and you will die."
Wu Di's face changed drastically, his whole body was trembling, and he stammered: "No, don't kill me, I will definitely obey you."
Seeing that something was wrong, Wu Jiang turned around and ran away in panic. The bearded man casually picked up a stone from the ground and threw it at Wu Jiang.
A stone hit Wu Jiang's leg. Wu Jiang was hit by the stone. He fell to the ground with a cry of "Ouch". The bearded man walked over and grabbed Wu Jiang's back collar. He lifted it up and turned around to return to the tomb. He threw Wu Jiang on the ground, kicked Wu Jiang, and then stepped on Wu Jiang's back.
Li Ying, Wu Jianlin, and Wu Jie's expressions changed drastically. They were very glad that they did not act rashly, otherwise it would be tragic if they were taught a lesson like Wu Jiang.
The bearded man looked at Li Ying and the others, with a threatening look on his face, and said in a cold voice: "If you dare to run away, I will kill you and dig a hole and bury you."
"I won't run, I definitely won't run. As long as you don't kill me, I will go wherever you point me. My mother and father are still waiting for me to come home. If they can't find me, they will cry to death." Li Ying said hurriedly.
The tall and thin man said with a smile, "Little girl, as long as you obey, I promise not to kill you."
Li Ying nodded repeatedly, promising to be obedient.
The tall and thin man nodded with satisfaction, pointed at the hole and said, "Now crawl in along the hole."
Li Ying looked at the entrance of the hole and mustered up the courage to say: "Uncle, you just need to dig open the grave for the treasure in your grave. Why did you dig a hole to go in? It's so dark inside that you can't see anything."
"Little girl, if I ask you to go in, you can go in. Why do you talk so much nonsense?" The bearded man said impatiently.
Li Ying's eyes were filled with tears, and she asked pitifully: "Uncle, I'm afraid of the dark. Do you have a flashlight?"
The tall and thin man threw a lighter to Li Ying and said viciously: "Take it, you are the only one who has more things to do."
Li Ying pursed her lips and walked towards the entrance of the cave with a lighter.
Wu Jianlin blames himself now. If he hadn't been angry with Wu Di, he wouldn't have been forced to dig into the grave now, and Li Ying and Wu Jie would have suffered too.
"Ying'er, I'm not afraid of the dark. I'll crawl in first, and you follow me." Wu Jianlin said and climbed into the grave first.
Li Ying and others glared at Wu Di and cursed: "Bad guy, it's all you who forced me to climb into the grave, bad boy." Wu Di lowered his head with a guilty conscience.
Li Ying crawled in along the entrance of the cave. Wu Jie followed Li Ying tremblingly with tears in her eyes.
It was dark inside the tunnel, and he couldn't see his fingers. Wu Jianlin crawled forward fearfully. When he heard a sound from behind, he asked timidly: "Ying'er, is that you?"
"It's me." Li Ying said, crawling to Wu Jianlin's side in the dark, and whispered: "Third cousin, let's find a chance to escape later."
Wu Jianlin was worried about being caught and beaten to death, so he hesitated and said, "What if I get caught?"
"If you don't run, I will run." Li Ying said.
The two men who forced them into the cave must have bad intentions, and they would be fools if they didn't run away.
Li Ying was brought up the mountain by Wu Jianlin. If Li Ying ran around alone and something happened, Wu Jianlin was worried about being beaten by his family when he returned home, so he quickly said: "Ying'er, I will listen to you and run with you."
The tall and thin man heard Li Ying and the others talking, and was worried that they would cause some trouble. He cursed and said, "You have time to talk, so why don't you crawl faster for me? If you delay any longer, I'll beat you to death."
Upon hearing this, Li Ying and Wu Jianlin sped up and crawled forward in the darkness, with Wu Jie following closely behind them.
The tunnel gets wider and wider as it climbs, and there is a light in front of it. The light gets closer and closer, and the tunnel becomes wider.
Suddenly, Li Ying heard a loud noise coming from behind her. The sound was deafening. The earth was shaking. The soil above the tunnel fell one after another. Her heart was shaking and her heartbeat was a few minutes faster than usual.
Wu Jianlin and Wu Jiang were frightened by the loud noise and screamed, and Wu Jie was even frightened to tears.
Wu Di's ears were almost deafened by the explosion. He turned his head in shock and saw that the entrance of the cave was blocked by collapsed soil, and asked in panic. "How can we get out if you blow up the exit?"
"It's not your turn to question me, please hurry up." The bearded man said fiercely.
Wu Di was immediately yelled into silence and did not dare to say another word.
After Li Ying heard what Wu Di said, her face suddenly turned pale without a trace of blood. Tears filled her eyes. The exit was blocked and she could not go home.
Wu Jie cried out, he was going to die underground.
"Shut up, if you cry again I'll stab you to death." The bearded man shouted loudly.
Wu Jie was so intimidated by the bearded man that he did not dare to cry anymore.
The tunnel became wider and the lights were close at hand. Wu Jianlin pulled Li Ying to stand up and walked more than ten steps into a stone room. The stone room was brightly lit. There was a strange pattern in the center of the stone room. An old man and a young woman stood there. Next to the pattern, when the two saw Li Ying and Wu Jianlin, their faces showed surprise.
The bearded man walked up to the two of them and said with a smile: "I will live up to expectations. I have found someone for you. The rest is up to you."
The woman walked up to Li Ying, looked at Li Ying carefully, and said with a smile: "How did you get such a beautiful girl?"
"Money makes all the difference. As long as I have money, I can get not just one, but ten of them," said the bearded man.
