Chu Mu straightened up and made way for Chu Shang to watch.

Chu Shang just took a few glances at the gap and then made way.

Because the only way to see the scenery in the yard is through the gap in the gate, they all line up to visit.

Everyone was curious and when they saw a lot of people queuing, they came over to join in the fun, so that more and more people gathered here.

Chu Mu and Chu Shang squeezed out of the crowd and began to walk around the courtyard wall of the ancient house.

The courtyard wall here is about three meters high. Although it has been eroded by years, it is still strong.

The house was very big, and it took Chu Mu and Chu Shang more than ten minutes to walk around it almost completely.

Of course, they did not go to the side where the house was connected to the back mountain.

Just as the two finished their tour and were walking back, Chu Chang's cell phone rang.

She took out her phone and looked at it, and met Chu Mu's eyes: "It should be that Dad has made a new discovery!"

She opened the message.

There was only one sentence on it, asking the two of them to enter the house.

Chu Mu and Chu Shang did not hesitate and went to the backyard wall together.

This side is a little harder to climb than the crooked tree in front. Chu Mu lay on the tree trunk and tried hard to reach the top of the wall.

She struggled to reach the top of the wall, and with the help of Chu Shang, she climbed up the wall.

The wall over there should have been placed by Chu's father and the old Taoist priest. There was a covered water tank underneath and a wooden block on top of it. Chu Mu rubbed his way down along the wall and only breathed a sigh of relief when his feet reached the wooden block.

She was not good at climbing over walls. When she turned over just now, her belly rubbed against the wall and her clothes were inevitably lifted up, rubbing her belly in several places.

She climbed down from the wooden block and the water tank, carefully lifted her clothes, and wiped the dust off her belly with a frown.

The skin that was rubbed by the wall tiles was painful, but luckily it was just a minor abrasion, otherwise she really wouldn't know what to do.

"Aren't they here, Dad?"

After looking at the wound, Chu Mu put down her clothes. She stood still and looked around, but did not see her father.

Logically speaking, since Father Chu asked them to enter the yard, he should have waited for them here.

"Sister, do you want to call Dad?"

Chu Mu turned and asked Chu Shang.

"I'll try." She said, lowering her head to call Chu's father, "I sent a message just now, but Dad didn't reply. I suspect something went wrong on his end."

Chu Mu frowned and glanced at the wall when he heard that. The trees on the other side of the wall were lush and dense, and more than half of them had extended into the courtyard. They were verdant and green, and the branches swayed in the wind, making rustling sounds from time to time. In the past, Chu Mu would only feel comfortable seeing such a scene.

But now... for some reason, she felt cold all over. It was midsummer, but she had goose bumps all over her back.

Chu Chang was still on the phone next to her, but the call was automatically hung up and the other end didn't pick up.

At this point, no matter how thick-skinned the two were, they realized something was wrong.

The two men looked at each other, turned around and tried to climb over the wall, but as soon as they stepped on the water tank, the wooden lid under their feet began to tremble.

Chu Mu quickly retracted her foot, and then she watched the water tank in front of her break into pieces, as did the wooden block on top of it.

The wooden stool that could support a person's weight shattered into sawdust like foam right in front of their eyes.

The scene before him was so mysterious that Chu Mu was stunned for a moment.

When she came to her senses, she had already been pulled back several steps by Chu Shang.

"Mumu, let's go find dad and the others first."

The only aid to climb up the wall was destroyed, and Chu Mu and Chu Shang had no skills in climbing walls, so they could only go find Chu's father and the others first.

Chu Mu nodded and followed Chu Shang into the yard.
