Chapter 1703: There Were New Discoveries
Helian Qingyu asked soone to bring the presents he’d prepared for the children. Little Apple received a big gift box but he didn’t know if he could take it. He turned to look at his mother.
He only accepted it when he saw his mom nod. He said, “Thank you.”
The mischievous Little Grape saw that his big brother had received a gift. He put his hands behind his back and very unhappily asked his uncle, “Uncle, Brother Niuniu has a present but why don’t I have one? Could it be you aren’t my real uncle?”
Oh my gosh!
Helian Qingyu didn’t know if he should laugh or cry and lifted Little Grape up. He dotted him on his little nose and said, “I realized sothing: your sister was the happy beans in the past, but now it is you who are the happy beans. Do you want uncle to die from laughter?”
Helian Qingyu would, of course, prepare presents for all of the children. He ordered all the gifts to be brought out right now and Little Grape stopped whining after he received a present.
Ying Bao also received a present. It was a beautiful doll. Although she had already passed the age where she played with dolls, since it was given to her by her uncle, she still thanked him.
The children were playing with their parents when Helian Qingyu ca to Huo Yunshen and said, “Brother, you ca at just the right ti, I have sothing to say to you.”
The two n went away to the study. After they were inside, Huo Yunshen asked, “What is it?”
Helian Qingyu answered as things were. “Brother, I haven’t told you about when I was building the hydroelectric power plant at the canyon. This project was started about half a year ago. The water was only successfully choked two days ago. However, do you know what we discovered?”
“Discovered... Jing Xi?”
Huo Yunshen thought of the worst possibility. If the water was choked, did it an they found Jing Xi remains at the bottom?
“No, no... that’s not it! Don’t get stirred up. Let explain slowly.”
Helian Qingyu then told him everything that was discovered at the bottom of the canyon.
It turned out that the entire lower part of the canyon could only be seen once the water was choked. The geological surveyors discovered a huge tunnel at the bottom. And this tunnel was like a secret passageway.
According to historical records and speculation, that area had been a small country thousands of years ago. The tunnels could be one of the country’s secret passageways.
When water passed through, it would create a huge undercurrent and the entire passageway would be filled with water.
That’s why Helian Qingyu speculated that the reason why Little Apple and Mo Yutian didn’t die after they fell off the canyon and why they couldn’t be found by dredging at the bottom was because they might’ve been swept into the secret passageway and washed up at another entrance.
That might also be the reason why they couldn’t find Jing Xi.
Could it be that Jing Xi was also swept into the tunnel and washed up sowhere else?
After Huo Yunshen heard this analysis, he imdiately said excitedly, “Bring there to take a look! I want to go see it now!”
“Okay.”
...
At the top of the canyon.
This was the place where his nightmares began. If it weren’t for Helian Qingyu telling him about this, Huo Yunshen wouldn’t have had the courage to co here for the rest of his life.
This was the place that had swallowed his lover, swallowed Jing Xi.
His heart would ache and shatter into pieces whenever he thought about this place.
Standing at the top of the canyon, they could see the bottom was dry after the water was successfully choked. However, there were still so pools of water where the ground sunk in.
They needed to go down if they wished to see the full view.
Huo Yunshen went down with Helian Qingyu along with a group of people.
They arrived at the bottom where there were jagged rocks of grotesque shapes. Helian Qingyu said to Huo Yunshen, “Brother, look at the pond at the font. That is the entrance to the secret passageway.”
