BXBX NOVEL Chapter 372: The Secret Tunnel is Discovered
“What’s the matter?” Qiao Xiaomai asked while yawning.
“Oh dear, Dami just suggested catching some small fish for Sanlang to help him recuperate, so I took him to the river. Yet, we ran into the Village Chief and Sanlang! There were even four guards with them.”
Qiao Changshun slapped his thigh and said, “Guess what Sanlang said to me?” ” What did he say?” Qiao Xiaomai yawned again, tears welling up in her eyes. “He said that while the two princes were hunting on the mountain, they discovered a cave. They summoned both of them-grandfather and grandson- to ask about the condition of the cave. Sanlang found the cave interesting, so he asked me to discuss it with you, to see if you’d like to join the excitement.”
Upon saying this, a look of wonder spread across Qiao Changshun’s face, “Wait, is there a cave on Rooster Mountain? I’ve never heard of one.”
“What?!”
Qiao Xiaomai’s eyes widened in shock, her handbasket dropped to the ground, and she froze.
Has it been discovered?!
“Eh, Xiaomai, what’s wrong? Why has your face suddenly turned so pale?” Qiao Changshun’s confusion subsided as he turned his gaze back to Xiaomai, instantly getting the fright of his life.
“Wiry are you trembling? Xiaomai, are you okay? I’ll go get Doctor Wu, wait here!” Qiao Changshun prepared to dash out.
After a few steps, he remembered that there was a donkey at home, while the laborers had only brought two oxen down to the field, he then immediately turned back, “All, I’m going to ride the Donkey Cart!”
“No, no need!” Seeing his flustered state brought Qiao Xiaomai back to reality from her immense fear, “Dad, I’ll be fine after resting for a while. You don’t need to fetch Doctor Wu.”
“Really?!” Qiao Changshun looked incredulous.
“Really!” Qiao Xiaomai took a deep breath and turned to him, “Dad, canyon go and have a look when you have time, and tell me what kind of cave it is? I won’t go.”
“Having a look at what? I’m going to stay home and take care of you. Come on, let me help you back into the house.” Qiao Changshun walked over.
Qiao Xiaomai shook her head,” Dad, I just remembered I have to pick something up from Tong Sange’s room as he asked me to, so I’ll go to Tong’s house first.”
In that moment of realization, she quickly submerged her consciousness into her spatial pocket,
And she discovered a spectacular fact: her spatial pocket had doubled in size!
This sudden and silent upgrade came at a time when she was just about to express her gratitude to the heavens.
But with the urgent situation, she had no time to give thanks, she had to get to Tong’s house, find the secret tunnel, and retrieve the hidden treasure!
Without the treasure, there would be no evidence, she could claim ignorance!
“All? What thing?” Qiao Changshun paused, then asked, “Looking at how pale your face is, you should rest at home. I’ll go for you.”
“No, not necessary, I’m fine. I’ll go get it myself.” Qiao Xiaomai quickly shook her head.
“This…” Qiao Changshun was about to say something more when two men suddenly appeared at the door.
It was YangYe’s guards, Qiao Xiaomai recognized them.
The two guards greeted Qiao Xiaomai and Qiao Changshun, and then said, “Miss Qiao, Prince Yang and King Duan went hunting on the mountain today and accidentally discovered a cave, and behind the cave, is a secret tunnel. Given this marvel, the prince would like to invite you to have a look.”
Qiao Xiaomai”…”
She plastered a pale smile on her face, “Thank you for the prince’s kind intentions, but I am not feeling too well right now and cannot go up the mountain.”
“Then the two of us will stay here to protect you. The prince instructed us to ensure your safety.”
Qiao Xiaomai”…”
Is this surveillance?
