The black-bellied peasant girl is reborn, and her weird relatives are mad

The person in his arms smiled happily, winked at him, and said in a tender voice: "Erlang, I like you so much! Can you come down and accompany me?"

Tang Zhongbai thought of her smiling face in his mind. Regardless of the pain, he raised the corners of his lips and said softly, "Okay, I will stay with you forever."

Then there was another pain. He covered his neck with both hands, and his legs went limp and he fell to the ground.

The person in his arms stepped back sadly. Tang Zhongbai watched her figure float towards the wall, pass through the wall, and disappear.

He could hear the anxious calls of the crowd, "Brother Tang, Tang Juecao, what's wrong with you?"

Tang Zhongbai opened his eyes hard and saw Xu Da's nervous and handsome face.

He thought he was going to die. With a dazed look in his eyes, he raised his hand and touched Xu Da's face, saying, "Do you know that when I first saw you and her laughing together, I wanted to cut your attractive face with a knife."

Xu Da was speechless and stared at him with dissatisfaction.

The people around looked at Tang Zhongbai as if he had gone mad, and Xu Da's face was ashen as if he had eaten a fly. Everyone closed their mouths, their shoulders trembled like sieves, and turned their heads away from them.

Xu Da slapped him on the shoulder and cursed, "What are you crazy about? Get up and find the door."

Tang Zhongbai was awakened by a slap in the face and found himself lying on the ground.

He quickly got up and looked at the others whose faces were red from trying to hold back their laughter, while he himself was holding a dagger in his hand.

He was confused. Didn't he put the dagger back in his hand? Why was it still in his hand?

I touched my neck and it was smooth, with no wounds.

"Are you still standing there? If I hadn't stopped you, you would have succeeded in committing suicide. Instead of thanking me as your savior, you even wanted to scratch my face. Mr. Tang, you are really something!" Xu Da glanced at him and said sarcastically.

The last sentence is still ringing in my mind. Was it just a dream?

He apologized to Xu Da sheepishly, "I'm sorry, Brother Xu, I was confused just now."

He suddenly remembered that something seemed to be wrong. He became abnormal after seeing the plum blossom on the blue brick...

He shuddered, raised his torch and walked towards the branch of plum blossom he saw.

He blinked hard in disbelief, and when he looked again, he found that what he saw had not changed.

He actually discovered that the plum blossom with green leaves and white buds that he had originally seen had now turned green and completely blended into the green of the green bricks.

"Brother Xu, come and see, something is wrong, it's totally wrong, this is too weird."

Xu Da heard his scream, turned his head and saw his mouth open in disbelief, so he quickly ran to his side.

Following his gaze, I spotted an unopened plum blossom on the blue bricks.

Xu Da asked in confusion: "What's wrong? I saw plum blossoms like this on other blue bricks. Is there something wrong with it?"

Tang Zhongbai looked at him steadily and told him in detail what he had just seen.

After hearing this, Xu Da became even more suspicious. He walked forward, held his breath, and sniffed carefully, but there was no smell.

"You said that when you held the torch close to him, you smelled the fragrance, and then you saw Mu Xia?"

"Correct."

Xu Da touched some residue on the blue brick with his hand, put it to his nose and sniffed it, "There are several synthetic hallucinogenic drugs here, such as mandrake juice and marijuana juice. The heat from the torch melted the white paint on it, creating a smell. And you were so close, so you got tricked."

Tang Zhongbai was shocked. "He is indeed a master. It is dark here. Anyone who comes down here must bring fire to illuminate the place. We will be caught in the trap before we know it. If a person appears here alone, he will die here."

This accident made them even more certain that Lin Xiao was hiding here.

Tang Zhongbai thought for a moment and said, "You said they could tamper with the blue bricks just to harm people? Could it be to hide something?"

"This fragrance reminds me of a poem describing plum blossoms. There are a few plum blossoms in the corner of the wall, blooming alone in the cold. I know it is not snow from afar because of the faint fragrance." Xu Da's eyes lit up.

The white color and the fragrance reminded him of the poem. The white color was not snow, and the fragrance was hidden in the plum blossoms.

"Everyone, go to the corner and find the brick with plum blossoms engraved on it. Be careful, don't get too close to the torch. There's medicine on these bricks, be careful." Xu Da guessed that the switch of the secret room might be on a brick engraved with plum blossoms.

With his reminder, everyone became much more cautious in their actions.

Only after I had a goal did I discover that many blue bricks were carved with flowers, with branches, leaves, buds of various colors, half-opened petals of various colors, and plum blossoms in full bloom.

Some are high, some are low, and distributed in different locations.

"Master, we have found something here." A man in green clothes squatted in the corner under the stairs and shouted loudly.

Everyone gathered around. All the blue bricks here, without exception, were engraved with patterns.

Put together, it looks like a plum tree in full bloom in the cold winter, hidden among the green bricks. If you don't look carefully, you can't find it at all.

After Xu Da carefully inspected, he found that the wall was not coated with medicine.

The switch is inside this plum tree.

Xu Da murmured, "There are several plum blossoms in the corner, and they are blooming alone in the cold. I have found several plum blossoms in the corner, but which one is blooming alone in the cold?"

Tang Zhongbai raised the torch in front of him and examined the flowers one by one. He discarded the blue bricks with flower buds carved on them and concentrated his attention on the bottom of the wall.

"Brother Xu, look, which one of these is it?" There were only three green bricks left with an image of a branch extending upwards, on which eight or nine plum blossoms were in full bloom.

Seeing that his finger was about to press, Xu Da reached out and grabbed his wrist, "Be careful. It can't be that simple. The closer we get to the end, the more cautious we must be."

He took Tang Zhongbai's dagger in his hand and said, "All of you, get out of the way. Stay away from here. Be careful of hidden weapons."

Everyone stepped back and looked at Xu Da's hand with attention.

Xu Da stretched out the dagger in his hand towards the first blue brick above and pressed it lightly, but the blue brick did not move.

Xu Da breathed a sigh of relief, put away the dagger, and then tried the next brick.

"Be careful." Tang Zhongbai was quick to push Xu Da aside.

Fortunately, when his short knife left the blue brick, a long needle as thin as an ox hair shot out from the pistil on the blue brick, rushed straight to the opposite wall and pierced deeply into it.

The two of them took a deep breath and said, "Brother Xu, please stand aside and let me do it."

Tang Zhongbai reached out to take back the dagger, but was blocked by Xu Da.

"No, you still have to fight Lin Xiao later, so you have to conserve your strength. There are only two bricks left, and we each have a 50% chance. My luck shouldn't be too bad!"

"Everyone cheer up, we are about to succeed." Xu Da shouted loudly.

"Yes."

Xu Da leaned over and reached for the second brick, and he felt relieved. The brick moved, and they heard a "click" as the brick shrank back inwards.

Xu Da put away the dagger and looked around. There was no door open. He was wondering why, when someone lifted him up into the air by the shoulders.

He looked carefully and saw that it was Tang Zhongbai who was holding his shoulders and jumping up.

A man hiding nearby screamed and fell to the ground.

After landing steadily, Xu Da realized that three needles shot out from the second brick in three directions.

The person who fell to the ground couldn't dodge in time and was hit by a needle in the calf. He immediately fell into coma and foamed at the mouth.

Xu Da quickly pressed the third brick, and then there was a "click" sound, the sound of a chain, and a stone door opposite the steps slowly opened.

Xu Da asked two people to carry the fallen man out, "Brother Tang, be careful, I'll be waiting for you upstairs."

The man who fell to the ground was wearing green clothes and was from Xu Da's sect. He couldn't let anything happen to him.

The stone door was wide open, and it was pitch black inside, with no sight of one's hand in front of one's face.

Here, Tang Zhongbai held a torch and led his men to explore carefully while moving in.
