Chapter 589: One Must Guard Against Others
ngyu arrived at dicine Valley just in ti to see Captain Ma and a group of people crowded outside the cave where she used to practice cultivation, eating grapes. There was a fire burning in the middle of the cave.
As they ate the grapes, they complained to Captain Ma:
"Captain Ma, didn’t you say soone wanted to take over Ghost Valley on a lease? Just lease it to her, why co and look around, causing us to be trapped here."
"That’s right, it’s not so easy to enter Ghost Valley. What do we do now?"
"Captain, will we ever be able to return? It’s all your fault for bringing us here for no reason."
"Yeah, Captain, you brought us here, so you have to be responsible for taking us back. My wife is due to give birth in a few days, I can’t let my son call soone else ’dad’."
"At least you’ve left your seed, I haven’t even found a wife yet."
"Captain, what do we do now? Give us so instructions."
"Captain..."
anwhile, Captain Ma’s face was cold, as he bit into the grapes forcefully, as if he had a grudge against them.
Thankfully, they hadn’t found the inner cave, nor the skeletal remains inside the cave — she had forgotten to burn them on her last visit.
She amplified the sound of her footsteps.
The people inside the cave beca silent upon hearing her steps.
But after the silence, soone whispered:
"Soone’s coming."
"Be careful, don’t go out, there might be ghosts outside."
"Never mind ghosts, it could be wild animals."
"Don’t talk, it would be bad if we were overheard."
"Don’t worry, we’ve blocked the cave entrance with large rocks that would take four or five people to roll here, even if soone was outside, they couldn’t get in."
"Hush, we’re at the entrance now, don’t speak."
ngyu sighed and shouted toward the inside: "Is Captain Ma there?"
When Captain Ma heard her voice, he imdiately beca excited as if he had seen a savior: "Is that Student Jiang?"
ngyu replied: "Yes, it’s ."
"Quick—" He almost said co in, then rembered a large rock was blocking the entrance.
He called out to a few people: "Old Man Wang, Old Man Wai, Xiao Sanzi, Si Niu, let’s five of us go move the rock blocking the entrance."
However, an older person grabbed his hand and said in a low voice: "One must guard against others."
Captain Ma let out a sigh and asked the outside: "How did you co here?"
Naturally, ngyu heard the inside voices and chuckled to herself, a rock ten tis larger would not pose an obstacle to her, let alone this one.
But thinking of these people trapped in the valley, skittish as frightened birds, she decided to first talk about the situation outside.
"I went to the brigade to find you, and you weren’t there, so I went to your house. At that ti, there were ten won causing an uproar at your ho, demanding n from your wife.
Later, your wife told everyone to ask Secretary Quan, so I followed to Secretary Quan’s house. I discovered that there were over a hundred won surrounding Secretary Quan’s front gate, back gate, and alleys; only then did I learn that you had brought a hundred n to Ghost Valley."
Captain Ma blushed a little; he had actually already agreed to lease Ghost Valley to ngyu, but to his surprise, the secretary was suspicious.
Once suspicion arose, everyone beca greedy, and so they brought a hundred n here to take a look.
If there really were treasures in this valley, either they would raise the lease rate, or simply not lease it to ngyu at all.
Who would have thought that this place would have ghosts creating illusions, leading to a situation where people could enter but could not leave?
