Tomb robber: Tuantuan, I am a national treasure!

The young lady's lips trembled slightly as she repeated to the old man the terrifying scene that had just occurred, with a barely noticeable cry in her voice.

After hearing this, the old man seemed to be frozen. He was stunned at first, and then his eyes widened and he stared at the motionless water surface without blinking, as if he wanted to see through the water.

"..................What?"

The old man's face was full of disbelief. He felt that he was hallucinating and wished he were deaf.

"Water, under the water...?"

The young lady choked up, tears welling up in her eyes and threatening to fall at any moment. She must have been frightened by what had happened.

The deathly silence around the pool made the servants nearby panic. They were as anxious as ants on a hot pan and couldn't wait to go down and rescue the person.

But their martial arts skills are really not good. Usually, dogs are better at guarding the house than them. Most people would be scared away when they see dogs, and no one dares to break in. But they never thought that something bad would happen in their own yard.

When the old man looked at the scene in front of him, he felt a black screen, dizzy and as if the sky was falling.

He could never imagine why his grandfather had such a "hobby" and why he jumped into the water all the time...

The old man's eyes became hazy, thinking back to how long it had been since he arrived, but the person still hadn't come up. His heart had gradually sunk to the bottom, as if it was being tightly grasped by countless hands. It was so painful that he couldn't breathe. At his age, he really couldn't stand the shock!

I had originally planned to work for two years and then retire, and I had already been looking for a successor. I thought there would be someone to take care of me after he was gone, but what happened? It has turned out like this now?

His body swayed involuntarily, like an old leaf swaying in the wind, his skeleton creaking, and he walked towards the water step by step.

If the master is gone, what is the point of living? It is better to follow him and continue to serve him in the underworld.

The old man was in tears, his crisscross wrinkles were filled with sadness, he had a sad face, and cried out, "Fifth Master... I am here to accompany you... I will definitely not let you stay in the underground without anyone to serve you...", as he walked towards the bottomless water.

The servants nearby were not only stunned but also frightened by him. Several of them hesitated, not knowing whether they should get closer. One of them took a thick rope in his hand and mustered up the courage to step forward.

"Uncle... take the rope, tie it first... so we can rescue him later..."

The old man was feeling very sad. When he heard what he said, he immediately got angry and kicked him.

"Still trying to fish me out! You little bastard, are you going to fish out my body when the time comes?! Get out of here, what are you standing there for?! Hurry up and fish me out!"

"Ah? Hey, I'll go down right away, I'll go down right away!"

The servant holding the rope dared not say a word when he heard him scolding, and tied the rope around the third man's waist.

The third person was still standing there when a rope was tied around his waist. His face turned red and he tried to refuse.

"Brother...brother...I can't do it?"

The man who tied the rope had a smile on his face that seemed hearty but was actually a little cunning. When he opened his mouth, his big white teeth were exposed. Anyone who came would think that he looked unreliable.

He patted the younger brother on the shoulder and said loudly: "Little brother, just be at ease and don't be afraid! Look, this rope is not easy to pull! As long as you feel something is wrong down there, just pull the rope quickly. We promise that we can pull you out of the water in no time, just as easily as pulling a carrot. It will be absolutely safe and secure, and there will be no problems at all!"

He patted the other person on the shoulder with confidence, gave him a shot of reassurance, and spoke in a very coherent manner.

The slightly fat man next to him also came over quickly, with a smile on his face, and put his arm around the younger brother's shoulders intimately like a good brother. At the same time, with his other hand, he skillfully picked up the rope on the younger brother's body and kept swinging it in front of his eyes.

"Don't worry, little brother. We are here!"

He shouted in a hoarse voice: "Hey, little brother, look, here..." As he spoke, he deliberately increased the strength of his hands and pulled the rope hard, probably wanting to use this method to prove to his younger brother how strong the rope was. "See? This rope is so strong, just like the old vine at the door of our house, there is absolutely no problem!"

"I guarantee you'll get up here!"

The younger brother frowned, his eyes still revealing a hint of fear and uneasiness. He was about to say something when, at this moment, he heard a loud and crisp "snap" sound, and the rope that was held with high hopes was actually broken into two pieces in the middle like a fragile silk thread.

"?"

"??"

"!!!"

This sudden change made the three of them shut their mouths, and the air seemed to freeze at this moment.

The younger brother's mouth opened wide, his eyes were full of fear, and he stood there stupidly, motionless, as if he was under a spell.

The fat man next to him who had just sworn that the rope was safe was also dumbfounded at this moment. His face turned pale in an instant and beads of sweat rolled down his forehead.

This, this, this............seems not very auspicious........

Just when the awkward atmosphere was about to become suffocating, the eldest brother suddenly reacted.

A hint of hesitation flashed across his eyes, but he quickly suppressed it.

He kicked out without hesitation, at an astonishing speed, and hit the fat man's leg hard.

The fat man was caught off guard. He screamed "Ouch!" and staggered violently, almost falling to the ground.

The elder brother quickly found another rope from the corner. With an awkward smile on his face, he scratched his head and stammered, "Hey, this... this rope must have been bitten by a rat before. The quality is not good. Let's change it. Just change it. It will definitely not cause any problems again..."

I had a cold face and felt that the three of them were doomed. If I remember correctly, this was the rope I used when I went down just now, right?

If I hadn't pulled the rope down myself and jumped into the water, wouldn't the rope have broken if I had exerted force on it?

He looked at the water with a confused look on his face. At that time, he would be caught off guard...

The old man next to him was anxious, but after he recovered, he went to call for help out of concern. He was old and could not go into the water, and he also had to go to the front to receive the second master and the others, so he was really busy. When he saw several people next to him starting to fish, he hardened his heart and quickly went to the front hall.

..................

"Uncle Wu."

Er Yuehong greeted the old man politely. The old man was old and had made a lot of efforts for the Wu family and had dealt with many people from the Nine Gates. He was about the same age as Uncle Fu, and the two knew each other, so it was normal for him to call out to him.

The old man, or Uncle Wu, was flattered and quickly returned the greeting.

"Second Master, how come you have time to come here today?"

Er Yuehong smiled slightly. He had actually said this to the gatekeeper before, but he repeated it patiently.

"I made an appointment for my brother today, but he was too playful and coaxed my apprentice to bring him out."

"My apprentice said that he came to play with Lao Wu. I came to pick him up. I hope Uncle Wu can help call him."

"Oh, please be patient, Second Master. I didn't see the young master before. I think he went to play with those puppies. I'll have someone look for him right away. I'll go look for him right away."

Er Yuehong nodded, glanced around, and suddenly spoke.

"Why don't you see Lao Wu?"

Uncle Wu smiled awkwardly and said, "My Lord...he had just met a young lady and was about to send her away when you came."

February is red, probably because you had a good conversation with someone and were reluctant to leave?

"It's okay. There's no need to rush to call him. I wonder if Uncle Wu doesn't mind if I go find him myself?"

Wu Bohan was about to come down and waved his hand quickly.

"Second Master, don't bother you any more... We have someone else at home. I'll go right away. I hope you can bear with me and don't worry."

"Well, that's troublesome."

Er Yuehong watched Uncle Wu wave and call a few people over, but he didn't pay much attention. Jinnian really liked the puppy and went to play with it every time he came. He was much more familiar with the Wu Mansion than he was. He usually talked to Lao Wu about something and didn't really know the terrain. He might even get lost.

Er Yuehong's slender hand brushed across the teacup and she took a sip of the still steaming tea. Her eyes were indifferent, but there was no smile.

"Chenpi, there won't be a next time."

Chen Pi listened to their entire conversation, just like the invisible man following behind Er Yuehong, without making any sound. When he heard Er Yuehong's words, he responded with his mouth, but secretly clenched his palms, leaving several marks on them.

He was halfway through delivering the goods when Er Yuehong sent someone to ask him where he had taken Jinnian. Er Yuehong thought that he had taken Jinnian to such a place and almost got angry. She only calmed down after knowing that he had sent Jinnian to Wu Ye's place.

Considering that he knew his limits and didn't let anyone see anything that shouldn't be seen, Er Yuehong didn't say anything to him and didn't pay much attention to him, until just now when Uncle Wu left and he suddenly said something.

Chen Pi knew it very well, but he didn't show it on his face. He sneered in his heart. If it had happened in the past, after being discovered, he would have apologized to his master. He shouldn't have brought the young master out to play without telling him, causing him to worry.

Not only because he is his master, but also because he is Jinnian's brother. Although it is only in name only, he believes from the bottom of his heart that his master cares about him and loves him, so he protects him very well.

Just like every time he took Jinnian out secretly to catch crabs, if it was before, maybe he would tell everything as soon as Er Yuehong asked.

Things are different now. Ever since that lingering rainy night, he can no longer deceive himself and continue to be so cowardly.

Even if we divide it by first come first served, there is not much difference between him and the Second Master, so why can't it be him?

Obviously, this second master who claims to be noble and has a smooth face like jade can take off his mask, so why can't he?

At the end of the day, no one is any better.

Chen Pi lowered his eyes in silence, and there was a gentle sound of wind in his ears. This time, Er Ye came out for a simple reason. Did he really arrange a teaching master for Jin Nian? Or did he have his own thoughts?

Chen Pi concealed the expression in his eyes, glanced at Er Yuehong's back, and lowered his head.

They were all the same, the same, filthy.

All he lacks is time.

Time to become stronger, time to become more powerful, and time to get along with people.

Nothing more

.................

"call............"

The man held his breath, stretched out one hand first, and raised the small thing in his hand high. Then, like a nimble fish, he twisted his body underwater, suddenly raised his head, and quickly floated to the surface.

He breathed in big gulps of fresh air greedily. His black hair was wet and stuck to his face. The handsomeness he had shown while chatting with the lady just now was washed away by the water. His other hand kept sliding on the water waves, trying to keep his body balance.
