Chapter 3327 Shen Tianyu 727
Afraid of being seen, Yan Yan quietly stepped back and silently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
This subtle movement was noticed by Su Hua.
She sighed inwardly.
Worried about Qin Heng's safety, Qin Lu frequently called to urge the relevant personnel when construction could begin.
He wanted to dig Qin Heng out as soon as possible.
They only had one precious eldest son, and the whole family doted on him. The greatest hardship he had ever endured since childhood was when he lost his mind for more than ten days while helping Old Gu change his fate. Now he is trapped in that ancient tomb, which is full of traps and mechanisms. In addition to bacteria and germs, there are also corpse beetles, poisonous snakes, and so on. If he is bitten by any of them, he will die.
However, this matter is of great importance, and various procedures need to be followed. Archaeological experts have also been sent to investigate, so construction cannot begin so quickly.
Qin Lu was anxious.
He strode with long legs, occasionally pacing back and forth, almost trampling all the nearby weeds.
The young man surnamed Zang, nicknamed "Pointy Head," crept over furtively, trying to find out some information.
Seeing a group of tall, muscular men, he didn't dare to approach them.
Another group of men wearing glasses and with scholarly airs, who were clearly archaeological experts brought in by the archaeological team, also made him hesitant to approach.
Su Hua is a woman, but she has an exceptionally elegant demeanor and doesn't look like an ordinary person at all.
Only Yan Yan, a teenage girl, was easy to talk to. Zang Jiantou tiptoed closer to her and whispered, trying to get on her good side: "Little girl, what's all the noise in this tomb? So many people have come. Are they about to start digging?"
Yan Yan nodded.
Zang Jiantou lowered her voice, "Which one is Heng Wang's father?"
Yan Yan was taken aback, "Prince Heng?"
“Yes, Prince Heng.” He raised his hand and gestured above his head. “He’s so tall, incredibly handsome, and in his twenties.”
It is Qin Heng.
Yan Yan didn't know why he got this title after coming to Mangshan.
Zang Jiantou lowered his voice even further, "He insisted that my father take him down. Before going down into the tomb, he promised to give me 60 million if my father was willing to take him down. If he couldn't come back up, he told me to ask his father for it."
Yan Yan asked, "Where's your father?"
Zang Jiantou's lips twitched a few times. "Young Master Shen went down and didn't see him. Perhaps he's dead. That tomb is very strange. There are many traps and all kinds of poisonous insects inside. We went down there a few years ago, and we all died. Only my father and I escaped. Tell me quickly, which one is Prince Heng's father?"
Yan Yan felt a sharp pain in her heart as she listened, her heart pounding wildly.
The reason this person is in such a hurry to ask Qin Lu for money is probably because he's afraid Qin Heng might die inside, making it difficult to get the money.
While his fate remains uncertain, there is still hope of getting the money.
Looking at Qin Lu again, he was on the phone the whole time, looking anxious.
Qin Ye stood to the side, his expression also very solemn.
Even the usually calm and composed Shen Tianyu looked more solemn than usual today. He kept circling the ancient tomb, trying to find another entrance.
Yan Yan closed her eyes.
Her mind was filled with images of Qin Heng's kindness towards her: him taking her to see fireworks, to the sea, to go skiing, to admire plum blossoms, to eat delicious food, to buy her all sorts of gifts, and to tell jokes to make her happy...
She thought that if he couldn't come up, she would probably never find a boy in this world who was as good to her as he was.
Her fists clenched involuntarily, and a surge of sorrow welled up inside her.
He was in such danger, yet she was powerless to help him.
She hated herself for being so incompetent.
Zang Jiantou followed her gaze and looked at each of the sights.
He had always thought Qin Lu was Qin Heng's father, as their features were somewhat similar, but Qin Lu looked to be in his early thirties at most, so he wasn't sure.
That's confirmed now.
Zang Jiantou mustered up her courage and walked up to Qin Lu, saying, "Hello, are you the father of Prince Heng?"
Qin Lu narrowed his eyes and sized him up. "What is it?"
Zang Jiantou smiled ingratiatingly, shrugged, and lowered his head, saying, "It's like this, Prince Heng said that as long as my father takes him down, he will give him 60 million. If he can't come up, he told me to ask his father for it. There's an emergency at home, and I'm in a hurry to go back."
He raised his hand as if counting money, "Or, could you transfer that 60 million to me? My bank account number is..."
Already on edge, this person added insult to injury. Qin Lu sneered, "Your father's life hangs in the balance, is there anything more urgent than that? Who told you Ah Heng couldn't get up here?"
Zang Jiantou panicked and blurted out, "That tomb is full of poisonous snakes and insects, and full of traps. I'm afraid Prince Heng..."
Qin Lu's eyes turned cold, and his voice suddenly rose, "Are you deaf? Can't you hear Ah Heng playing the piano?"
Zang Jiantou was terrified and his face changed drastically. He blurted out a defense: "It may not be Heng Wang playing. That tomb is haunted. A few years ago, my father and I went down into that tomb and escaped death. After that, we often heard this kind of music in the middle of the night."
Qin Lu grabbed his collar, his knuckles clenched, and said, "Kid, listen to me, stop talking nonsense and get out of here! If Aheng comes up alive, I'll give you 60 million! If anything happens to Aheng, you won't get a single penny!"
He loosened his grip.
Zang Jiantou fell to the ground.
Yan Yan's delicate face was now deathly pale, devoid of any color.
My nose tingled, and tears streamed down my face like a broken string of pearls.
She didn't cry out loud, but Su Hua could sense it.
She took a clean white handkerchief from her pocket, turned around and wiped away Yan Yan's tears, gently comforting her, "Don't worry. Ah Heng is very lucky. He was able to regain consciousness after such a serious incident last time, so he will definitely escape death this time as well. Once it's confirmed, the bulldozers can start working. Listen, the music is still playing. That's Ah Heng telling us that he's safe and sound."
Yan Yan bit her lip, holding back her tears.
The pointed-headed man said they often heard this kind of piano music in the middle of the night.
After an unknown amount of time, the mournful zither music suddenly stopped.
Yan Yan's heart trembled.
Su Hua's expression also turned serious.
Qin Ye no longer cared about staying calm. He walked to the side of the tunnel and suddenly jumped down.
Qin Lu jumped down as well.
Shen Tianyu was busy searching for another entrance to the tomb.
Seeing that the two had lost their minds, Shen Tianyu strode over and shouted into the tunnel: "Grandpa, Uncle, that entrance has been buried by quicksand. You can't get close to the side chamber. Even if you risk your life to get close to the side chamber, you can't rescue Aheng. Come on up. We should be able to start construction here soon."
As soon as he finished speaking, a slender figure flashed before his eyes.
It's Yan Yan.
Shen Tianyu said, "Don't worry."
Little did he know that Yan Yan hadn't come to hear his comforting words. She quickly ran to the entrance of the tunnel and jumped down without saying a word.
Soon, a muffled sound came from the bottom of the cave.
Everyone was stunned!
Qin Lu and Qin Ye both have martial arts skills as a foundation.
Yan Yan is a frail girl who doesn't know any martial arts, yet she has such audacity.
Su Hua rushed over, her face filled with anxiety, and shouted towards the dark entrance of the tomb: "Yan Yan, it's dangerous! Come up quickly!"
She reached behind her, shouting, "A rope! Quickly, get a rope and hoist her up!"
Yan Yan stood at the bottom of the cave, looked up and shouted loudly at the top of the tunnel, "Grandma, I'm fine, don't worry. This guqin sounds familiar to me, I'll come down and take a look, maybe I'll find something."
Su Hua seemed to be deep in thought.
Qin Lu and Qin Ye were quite surprised.
Because Qin Heng had never played that kind of music before; he was always energetic and lively, and liked lively and cheerful music.
The bottom of the cave was dark, with only a faint light filtering in.
Yan Yan looked at Qin Lu and Qin Ye and said, "Uncle, Grandpa, don't move here, I'll go in and take a look."
Her delicate, pale face exuded a calm and composed demeanor.
It was as if this wasn't a gloomy ancient tomb, but her home.
