Chapter 198 Tricky
Chapter 198 Tricky
Chu Ci looked around and saw that there was no one around, so he dragged the eldest brother to a corner. His sneaky behavior made the eldest brother laugh.
"Okay, there's no one around here. If you have something to say, please tell me quickly."
Chu Ci was relieved when the eldest brother said that there was no one nearby, but he still deliberately lowered his voice, "Elder brother, today Master Chu from the prison said he wanted to see me. I went, and he told me something shocking."
The eldest brother looked at Chu Ci carefully, and grabbed Chu Ci's cloak with both hands, trying to hold it close for her.
But when he grabbed Chu Ci's hands, he happened to touch their cold hands. He reflexively grabbed Chu Ci's hands and said, "Why are your hands so cold? Tell me, how can I hand you over to him in the future?"
The eldest brother sighed, grabbed Chu Ci's hands, and put them directly into his clothes, warming them with his body temperature.
"Tell me, you're about to die, what else can I tell you?"
Chu Ci made sure that no one was around before he told the details of what had happened. "Big Brother, he said that Li is not my biological mother. It seems that he switched Li with my mother at some point."
The eldest brother was confused and took a long time to react to what Chu Ci said, "Are you sure? If they have been married for a while and changed the person in the middle, it is impossible that no one knows about it. This does not hold true."
Chu Ci nodded. "I've thought about this, and I don't think it's right either. But looking at Mr. Chu's expression and the current situation, he shouldn't lie to me."
"I've thought about my relationship with the Li family and have suspected it before, but after so long, I haven't found anything, so I want to go and take a look."
The eldest brother extended Chu Ci's hand inside again and said, "It's good to go and take a look, in case there is any news. I will go with you. When should we go?"
Chu Ci yawned loudly, and it seemed that daybreak was approaching. "Chu Ci pointed in the direction of the Chu Marquis Mansion," said Chu Ci, "Big Brother, let's go to the Chu Marquis Mansion and take a look. Master Chu said it's in the backyard of the main courtyard, in the woodshed. Let's go and take a look."
"But now that place is closed, I thought, Big Brother, please take me in."
The eldest brother nodded, "Okay, let's go now."
After the eldest brother finished speaking, he put his arm around Chu Ci's waist and flew away using his lightness skills.
As soon as the two of them flew away, Cang Mo, wearing a dark green robe, suddenly appeared.
He looked at the backs of the two people with jealousy, lowered his head to look at his cold hands, his eyes full of loneliness.
He looked at the direction where Chu Ci and the eldest senior brother left in silence for a long time. It seemed that he had to speed up. Judging from the development, it would not be long before his little princess would run away.
Seeing that their figures were about to disappear, Cang Mo chased after them.
The eldest brother took Chu Ci and flew directly into the Chu Hou Mansion and headed straight to the backyard of the main courtyard.
The two men looked around and soon found the small room where the firewood was stored.
She said that when she saw the small room in the middle before, she felt something was wrong. There was indeed a small kitchen in the main courtyard of the Li family, but it was not next to the small room for storing firewood. If she wanted to use it, she had to walk a long way.
This is totally inconsistent with life experience.
Chu Ci slowly walked into the small room where the firewood was stored. There was very little space inside, and there was not enough space for one person to stand. He could see all the empty space at a glance.
Nothing at all.
The more Chu Ci thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong. Master Chu still wanted her to rescue Chu Yue and would not play tricks on her.
The eldest brother walked over to her side and helped her gather her cloak. "How is it? Have you found anything?"
Chu Ci shook his head. "He wouldn't lie to me, but it's obvious that there's nothing in this place except firewood."
What exactly is going on?
Chu Ci looked carefully to see if there were any traces.
After taking a closer look, I actually found something different.
The room was full of firewood, which looked like it had been there for a long time, and the dust was evenly distributed.
However, the dust around two bags of firewood was very clean, and it was obvious that they had been moved not long ago.
The eldest brother followed Chu Ci's gaze and also discovered this trace. He rolled up his sleeves, picked up a bundle of firewood and walked out.
The firewood was carried out. Chu Ci squatted down and observed carefully. Sure enough, there was something fishy going on.
There was not a speck of dust underneath the bundle of firewood.
Chu Ci stood up and was about to take the other bundle of firewood away when the eldest brother who had just returned took it and looked at Chu Ci lovingly, "It's all dusty and dirty. Stand still and don't touch it."
When the firewood was taken away, the mechanism was completely revealed in front of Chu Ci.
There is a lid at the bottom, which is just big enough for a person to stand on.
Chu Ci opened the lid with his hands, and it was pitch black inside.
Chu Ci was angry and she didn't dare to go in.
She stood aside waiting for the eldest brother. It would not be so scary if the two of them went down together.
The eldest brother came back quickly, walked to Chu Ci's side, and was stunned when he saw the black hole.
He looked at the junior sister beside him in surprise, "I didn't expect there really was something fishy going on. Let's go down and take a look."
The eldest brother took out a fire starter from his pocket, lit it, took Chu Ci's hand and walked inside.
The road inside is very narrow, even if one person goes in, it would be very tight.
Chu Ci followed closely behind the eldest senior brother, holding on to the corner of his clothes tightly, which was enough to scare him to death.
The two of them walked deeper and deeper into the water. The eldest brother who was walking in front suddenly warned them, "Girl, we're at the bottom. Watch your step."
Chu Ci nodded silently. She took advantage of the living thing in the hands of her senior brother to take a rough look at the hole. The inside was not very big and she could see clearly at a glance.
Chu Ci suddenly thought of the days when he was locked up in his previous life, and his whole body tensed up.
The eldest brother realized the change in Chu Ci and took her in his arms. He smiled and said in her ear, "If you are afraid, go up first and I will see for myself."
Chu Ci shook her head silently. She wanted to find it herself.
Chu Ci adjusted his mindset, scanned the area, and finally confirmed that there was no one here! To be exact, there was not even a sound.
The eldest brother followed Chu Ci and carefully looked at the cave. In a corner, they found some black things that were not clear.
Chu Ci tugged at the corner of the eldest brother's clothes and pointed at something on the ground, "Let's go and see what that is."
The master held Chu Ci tightly in his arms. The two of them walked over and took a closer look. They found that they were several steamed buns that had become stiff like stones, and the hair on the surface had grown very long.
“Someone really lived here, but where were the people?”
