Chapter 924: Caught Off Guard
“No, Yang Yang, you and Xiao Yu go down and wait. You’re children, so it’s not easy for others to discover you. Yaoyao and I have a tacit understanding. Be good, go quickly. Didn’t you say that Yaoyao was very lucky?
It might be a little dangerous here. With a lucky person like Yaoyao by my side, it’s a little safer. Be good, you guys go down quickly. If a stranger asks you, just pretend to come over and play, understand?”
Actually, Li Zhuoyue wasn’t very confident at the moment either. He only noticed a few sneaky people standing behind the big trees in various directions as if they were standing guard. There were also people standing at the back of the cellar where there were many big trees and cellars.
Moreover, the accent of the three to five tall men was completely different from the dialect of Pinglan County. It was completely incomprehensible. It sounded a little like the dialect of some place, but it was definitely not the dialect of any city or county in Sand City. It was obvious that he belonged to a foreigner.
If it was in the past, there would be very few outsiders in Pinglan County.
However, with the development of scenic spots, hot springs, and mines last year, many foreigners had indeed come. It was also because of Li Muyao and the Huo Corporation’s investment that many businessmen had come to Pinglan County. It was also because of the sudden surge in the foreign population that the police found out about Du Pin and Wang Zhenzhen’s abduction of young women much later.
If Li Muyao hadn’t accidentally found the drugs, no one would have thought that she could find so many drugs in a small county.
“Yes, Yang Yang, Xiao Yu, hurry down and wait for Uncle and the others to arrive. Be good and listen to me. I believe that your fairy sister will definitely not let anything happen to her. She won’t even have a small injury. Hurry up and go.”
Of course, Li Muyao wouldn’t let her two younger brothers take risks with Li Zhuoyue. Besides, her martial strength was stronger than in her previous life after her rebirth. Plus, Huo Jiling had been teaching Li Muyao some killer moves that she hadn’t learned from her father.
In any case, Li Muyao and Li Zhuoyue could fight for six or seven rounds, and they shouldn’t lose too badly.
“Yangyang, let’s go. Listen to Mooncake.”
Li Muyu pulled back his younger brother who still wanted to persuade his sister. After Li Muyu’s mind was clear, his original IQ was also online, and he was also organized in his work.
From Li Muyu’s analysis, their elder sister was indeed the most suitable person to follow Li Zhuoyue up the mountain to help. He and Yangyang might not be able to help and might even be a burden.
Therefore, it was better to believe her sister from the beginning.
Moreover, for people like Li Muyu and Li Muyang, their fairy sister could at least kill children like them with one punch.
“Alright, Mooncake. You must be careful. Brother Zhuoyue, take good care of my sister. If my sister is injured, us brothers and my future brother-in-law won’t let you off. Mooncake, play it by ear, don’t force yourself!”
Li Muyang thought for a moment and nodded in agreement. He then followed his little brother down the mountain quietly and quickly. There was a trace of worry on their small handsome faces.
After watching her two younger brothers go down the mountain, Li Muyao was about to ask Li Zhuoyue when Li Zhuoyue took the straw hat on his head and put it on Li Muyao’s head. He specially whispered to her,”Yaoyao, when you go up later, listen to my commands. Can you do that? Just like what master once taught us, can we?”
Well, Li Dajian was a retired guard after all. He brought his daughter and disciples to train their physical fitness. Of course, he would also train them to fight. There were Li Muyao and Li Zhuoyue fighting one-on-one, and there were also Li Zhuoyue and Li Muyao fighting Li Dajian together.
In short, Li Muyao and Li Zhuoyue had played this kind of simulation game quite a few times. Although they had never won, they were familiar with the rules.
“Alright, no problem!”
Li Muyao followed behind Li Zhuoyue. After going up the cellar mountain, Li Muyao realized that in terms of physical fitness, even if she had been training, she was really not as good as a professional like Li Zhuoyue.
When her father was around, Li Muyao had never won against Li Zhuoyue.
Li Zhuoyue had come up to scout before, and he quickly found a breakthrough. While not being discovered, he could also take Li Muyao further to see what these people were guarding.
However, before they could rejoice or make the next move, someone walked over.
Li Zhuoyue immediately pressed Li Muyao’s head down. It was true. At this moment, Li Muyao and Li Zhuoyue were extremely glad. It was summer now, the season when the grass in the forest was overgrown. Once there were many weeds and trees, it became their best concealment.
“Yaoyao, wait for me here. Don’t move around. I’ll look ahead again. They should have someone in the cellar somewhere. However, I am now certain that they are definitely not mining for selfish reasons.”
Cellar Mountain. Two more mountains ahead would be the mine mountain.
In the beginning, Li Zhuoyue suspected that someone had discovered a mine on the cellar mountain and was mining privately. However, they had been up for so long and did not hear any mechanical sounds.
Therefore, Li Zhuoyue was more inclined to believe that these people were involved in drugs or human trafficking.
Previously, Li Zhuoyue had only done a rough reconnaissance and found that he was standing outside like a sentry.
Now, he was certain that those people were on sentry duty!
Li Zhuoyue and Li Muyao had just seen a man with the aura of a guard jump into a cellar. More importantly, Li Muyao said to Li Zhuoyue,””These people are from Gui City? His accent was very similar to Sun City, but he was not from Sun City.”
Sun City, Li Muyao was one of the cities she was most familiar with.
He was naturally very familiar with the accent of the people of Yangcheng.
Therefore, when she heard the similar but different accent, Li Muyao could analyze it almost instantly.
“Hmm? Yaoyao, are you sure these people are from Gui City?”
Li Zhuoyue had some understanding of the accent in Pinglan County and the entire Sand City. Of course, there was also Jin City and Yun City, where he had carried out a few missions. However, most of the words spoken by those people were in Chinese, so he really could not tell the accent.
But after Li Muyao said this, Li Zhuoyue was almost certain of his own thoughts.
“Yes, it must be! Bro, could they really be related to drugs? Gui City faces Southeast Asia and the southwest is adjacent to Vietnam…” Li Muyao stopped here and analyzed what she had just heard.”That should be the language of the people of Gui City.”
Yes, Gui City was very close to Vietnam. Many of the domestic drugs came from there.
Li Muyao had no choice but to analyze it this way.
“Be good, don’t ask too much. Squat here and wait for me.”
Li Zhuoyue wanted to send a message to his uncle, but he realized that the phone he had set to silent at the foot of the cellar mountain had no signal at all. He didn’t know if it was blocked by something or if the phone signal on this mountain was not strong.
He panicked for a moment, but he couldn’t be sure. He had to continue his investigation.
Naturally, he couldn’t let Li Muyao follow him anymore. He let her wait at the side first. If anything happened to him, Li Muyao would stay outside. Li Zhuoyue would have more protection.
“Alright, I’ll wait for you.”
Of course, Li Muyao wouldn’t force herself at this time. Seeing Li Zhuoyue disappear into the forest in front of her like a nimble monkey, her heart was on tenterhooks. She also took out her phone that was on silent mode. She looked at it and saw that there was no signal.
However, Li Muyao’s phone was a bit special. Huo Jiling had set up some Mini programs in her phone. When her phone lost signal, the GPS system in her phone would automatically turn on.
Therefore, Li Zhuoyue had asked Li Muyao to turn off her phone without signal, but Li Muyao didn’t agree.
Li Muyao squatted on the spot and waited for ten minutes, twenty minutes, half an hour…When Li Muyao was sweating profusely and losing her patience; There was a sudden commotion ahead.
Li Muyao couldn’t understand what those people were saying, but she could tell that they were very angry.
Then, the people who were standing guard and observing the surroundings all hurriedly rushed to the cellar where the guards had jumped into.
Li Muyao waited for five minutes. When she saw that the people standing guard had all disappeared into the cellar, Li Muyao stood up and followed, but her speed was a little slow.
Because Li Muyao was completely unfamiliar with the terrain of the cellar mountain, she didn’t know which tree had a cellar.
After all, when Li Zhuoyue brought her up, he almost missed a few times. It was Li Muyao who pulled him up so that he didn’t fall into the cellar. Although the cellar looked very small and shallow, it was still quite scary. It was one or two meters deep.
Li Muyao walked to the entrance of the cellar. It looked like it was only 20 meters away. She walked for eight minutes.
After approaching the entrance of the cellar, Li Muyao put her ear close to listen. It was indeed a very messy sound. She carefully looked inside again. It was quite deep, at least 2.5 meters.
However, people with some skills would not hurt themselves if they jumped down.
However, Li Muyao was very sure that Li Zhuoyue didn’t jump down from here. Instead, he took a detour and went to the other side. Li Muyao thought for a few seconds, then followed the direction Li Zhuoyue left in. As expected, Li Muyao did not even search for fifteen minutes before she heard Li Zhuoyue’s voice coming from a cellar.
Li Muyao went over to take a look and saw Li Zhuoyue’s disheveled face. She smiled unkindly.”Brother, what’s wrong with you? Did you fall in?”
“No, I was pushed down. Yaoyao, find a tree and pull me up. Or you can go wait for Uncle and the others. Uncle and the others should have been on the move, but these people seemed to have received news, which was why the person who found me pushed me down the cellar angrily and ran away.”
Li Zhuoyue really didn’t notice it. When he was scouting, he was still discovered by the enemy.
Initially, Li Zhuoyue thought that he could beat the other party, but the other party did not care about martial ethics at all. Taking advantage of his carelessness, not only did he call for help, but the helper also pushed him down the cellar without warning. If Li Zhuoyue had not been well-trained in this kind of trap, his leg might have broken.
Although he was caught off guard when he fell, Li Zhuoyue’s emergency response was still very good. Li Zhuoyue, who fell into the cellar, only hit the ground face first.| Of course, he had to use his leg to borrow the cellar wall to prevent himself from getting hurt more seriously.
Only a martial arts practitioner like Li Zhuoyue could have such a reaction. Otherwise, anyone who was pushed into a cellar three to four meters deep would be crippled if not dead.
“Brother, are you seriously injured? If Uncle and the rest were to come over, they should be here soon.”Li Muyao was most concerned about whether Li Zhuoyue was injured.
After all, this cellar seemed a little deep. Anyone who was afraid of heights would be a little afraid when they looked down.
“I’m fine. It’s just that Yaoyao’s face is a little scratched, but her legs are fine. Forget it, Shuteng, you don’t have to look for them anymore. Go and pick up Uncle and the others first. Also, don’t chase after those people. You have to wait for my uncle and the others to come.”
Li Zhuoyue told her about his injuries and specifically told Li Muyao not to act rashly.
“Alright, I’ll go wait for Uncle and the others.”
Although Li Muyao was a little curious about where those people had fled to, she wouldn’t bet on her own safety. Therefore, before she left Li Zhuoyue’s cellar, she made a mark.
The main reason was that these cellars were either blocked by trees or covered by weeds.
If she didn’t make an obvious mark, Li Muyao was afraid that she would have to search for a long time. The cellar was deep, and if the people inside didn’t come closer to listen, they wouldn’t be able to hear it.
After Li Muyao marked the road, she was ready to go down to fetch her uncle and the police. However, she realized that she seemed to have lost her way. The main reason was that she didn’t dare to run in the cellar mountain. She had to be careful even when she walked. Originally, she had followed the path she had taken to find Li Zhuoyue, but as she walked, it seemed that something was wrong.
The more they walked, the higher the density of the trees. More importantly, there were surprisingly no weeds under the trees, and the cellar holes of various sizes were revealed in front of Li Muyao.
In such a place, anyone who was timid would be frightened.
To be honest, although Li Muyao didn’t believe in ghosts and gods, when she thought about how she was a metaphysics bug, Li Muyao felt that she had heard the crying sound on the cellar mountain like the one on the tomb mountain. It didn’t seem so difficult to understand.
Li Muyao said she wasn’t afraid, but she still turned around and walked towards Li Zhuoyue.
However, the crying seemed to have become louder. At this moment, Li Muyao’s phone rang. Li Muyao was so shocked that she almost jumped up. When she heard the familiar special ringtone, her heart almost jumped out of her chest. Suddenly, she felt protected and safe.
She quickly took out her phone and answered the call. Before the person on the phone could speak, Li Muyao said in surprise and joy,”Ling, I knew you would appear when I needed you the most.
I’m currently at the cellar mountain in Pinglan County. I don’t know the exact location, but Li Zhuoyue fell into the cellar and needs to be rescued. Also…I heard crying here. Ling, can you accompany me to find out?”
