“Brother, save her!” Ren Wannian carried Zhou Qingyun as he dashed in from the outside in panic.
Ren Baqian and the empress were sitting shoulder to shoulder on the sofa playing Mobile Legends[1.Mobile Legends – a mobile MOBA ga]. The dark wind double team struck back, wreaking carnage in Mobile Legends once again.
“Hold on—I’m almost done,” Ren Baqian replied without even lifting his head. “Our base is getting demolished… I need to seize the mont and launch another big attack.”
“Alright, we did it!” Looking perfectly satisfied, the empress finally took her eyes off her cell phone. She handily reached out for the cushion that Ren Baqian was leaning against and hugged it.
“Yes, finally! We lost again!” Ren Baqian was content as well.
At the mont, their gaming record was one win and 67 losses. The only ti they won was when all five players on the enemy team disconnected…
In disarray, Ren Wannian stood there carrying Zhou Qingyun. Looking at those two on the sofa, he started to wonder if coming over tonight was a complete mistake.
“What’s wrong?” Ren Baqian asked. He placed his phone aside, adjusted his posture, and looked up.
“She seems to have passed out.” Ren Wannian lowered his head and looked at Zhou Qingyun. Anyone could tell from his face that he was very worried.
“Put her down sowhere. She’ll be fine after a while. Why did she pass out?” Ren Baqian casually asked.
Ren Wannian looked at Ren Baqian in shock. He still had the cheek to ask?
Who wouldn’t be frightened if they saw so many heads buried in the courtyard in the middle of the night? At the mont, even his own shirt was drenched.
If he hadn’t realized that there were so many people buried alive there when he alighted from the car, he would have passed out as well.
As Ren Wannian carefully placed Zhou Qingyun on the sofa, he heard Ren Baqian say, “If you don’t feel assured, pour a glass of water on her face and she’ll wake up.”
“Brother, you’re indeed my dear brother. You think I don’t have the capability of becoming single?” Ren Wannian complained.
“In any case, she’ll wake up after a while.” Ren Baqian didn’t seem bothered.
“Hmm…” While they were talking, Zhou Qingyun let out a soft groan from the sofa, slowly opening her eyes.
“Qingyun, are you ok?” Ren Wannian was deeply concerned.
When Zhou Qingyun saw the person in front of her and the two people on the other sofa, her face imdiately turned pale. She pushed Ren Wannian aside and ran out.
“Qingyun?” Ren Wannian was shocked, and he imdiately chased after her.
Eventually, she scread when she reached the courtyard and turned around, running into Ren Wannian. She hugged his waist as her body trembled and her eyes teared up.
“Heads… Heads…”
“Calm down! Don’t be afraid. Those aren’t just heads, but people buried in the ground…” Ren Wannian patted her back and consoled her.
However, it would be better if he didn’t explain. After hearing what he said, Zhou Qingyun’s entire body trembled as she almost passed out again.
“Those people have been buried alive…” Ren Wannian attempted to lock the stable after the horse had already bolted.
Zhou Qingyun was on the verge of crying.
“People buried alive…”
Her tears started rolling down her cheeks…
Ren Wannian felt his lips quivering uncontrollably and felt like giving himself two tight slaps.
“Those people buried there are still alive… They aren’t dead…” Ren Wannian finally said it correctly.
“Alive?” Zhou Qingyun asked as she lifted her head and wiped away her tears.
“Yes! Alive, not dead!” Ren Wannian said firmly, wanting to calm her down.
However, Zhou Qingyun perceived these words differently. There weren’t dead… That ant that they were dying?
She pushed Ren Wannian aside and suddenly felt a sense of unfamiliarity toward her boyfriend. It was as if he was an entirely different person after coming to Shanghai.
She then turned her head around and dashed out.
Ren Wannian naturally ran after her.
Ren Baqian and the empress sat on the sofa and found it amusing as they watched the farce.
“What’s she afraid of?” The empress felt a little puzzled. Even if there were 12 human heads displayed there, what was there to be afraid of? Whenever the aboriginals killed their prey or their enemies, they would always keep the skeletons of the strongest as their trophies of war. They would then celebrate by hanging these bones on their doors during the New Year.
As such, she found it hard to understand why Zhou Qingyun felt this way because it seed very strange to the empress.
On the other hand, Ren Baqian understood why she was frightened. However, he didn’t feel the need to explain this to the empress.
“It seems that they won’t be able to have dinner here anymore. It’s just right that those idiots are buried outside. Now, the two of us can enjoy a candlelight dinner.” Ren Baqian laughed as he stood up from the sofa. He then went into the kitchen to prepare their dinner.
The at that they brought back from Dayao had already been stewing in the pressure cooker for a long ti. It was at from that Earth Wheel level black-faced guy.
The main course for the night was a famous dish, stewed pork with pickled vegetables!
By itself, the na of the dish completely didn’t resonate with candlelight dinner at all. Whatever!
To them, stewed pork with pickled vegetables was like what steaks were to Westerners.
Besides, there wasn’t any difference between stewed pork with pickled vegetables and steak.
The pork had already been stewing for almost three hours. That black-faced guy’s at was very tough. After all, it was an Earth Wheel level boar, so it wouldn’t cook that easily. However, the sll was indeed very fragrant. Also, one piece of its at would provide the sa amount of nutrition as five kilograms of ordinary beef or lamb.
One pot of this would almost be sufficient to fulfill the empress’s noncombat dietary requirents.
Naturally, she would still be very far from full.
While Ren Baqian was preparing dinner, three police vehicles drove hastily up the mountain without turning on their sirens.
“Boss, there’s police! What happened?” Soone sitting in a car parked outside the villa felt a little puzzled.
“Let’s wait and see…”
“Did they stop outside the target villa?”
“Let’s get closer—we can reveal our identities if sothing happens.”
…
“Captain, there are indeed people buried in the courtyard with their heads sticking above the ground.” When the police cars stopped outside the courtyard, the lead car imdiately reported back after shining its headlights inside.
“Rescue them imdiately and call for ambulances! Control the people living in the villa at the sa ti. Go!” Orders were imdiately given out through the walkie-talkies.
When buried to chest level, ordinary people wouldn’t be able to breathe due to the gradual pressure from the soil! As such, there was a saying that went, “When the soil reaches the neck, death is imminent.”
When a body was buried underground, blood would rush up to the head because of the pressure. This was extrely dangerous, which resulted in the police being quite tense.
After receiving orders, over ten policen stepped out from those three police vehicles and rushed into the villa.
“Group three will take care of the people in the villa. The rest will follow to save the buried people!” one of them shouted.
With frightening looks on their faces, the winged cavalry warriors turned their heads uniformly and looked as the policen rushed into the courtyard holding flashlights.
These policen were shocked at the sight of this, and all of their hair stood on end.
They stopped in their tracks, almost falling over.
After all, this scene was indeed pretty frightening.
The policeman at the front was a little distracted. He imdiately heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that the buried people were still conscious.
“Rescue them—get them out.”
“Kid, what are you doing?”
“Helping you out!”
At the start, the winged cavalry warriors didn’t show any reaction. After the policen picked up the shovels on the ground and were about to start digging, the winged cavalry imdiately beca enraged.
Boss buried here, and you guys are digging out?
What if the boss beats up?
Boss is such a fierce person—if I get kicked by her, I probably won’t be able to get out of bed for a few days!
Are you guys trying to create trouble for ?
“Who dares?” a few of the winged cavalry warriors shouted. Their shoulders shook and the soil around them scattered all over. When they pulled out their arms and slamd against the ground, they imdiately shot out like artillery shells.
The sight of a few burly n that weighed more than 150 kilograms leaping out of the ground imdiately stunned the policen. The visual impact was too great. It felt as if they had just seen monsters, and suddenly, the policen didn’t feel too good.
“Who dares to dig out!” The warriors glanced over the policen with eyes like copper bells and looked extrely fearso.
“You are already out… There’s no need to dig anymore!” The policen were still a little stunned.
What kind of people are these?
They actually managed to leap out on their own after being buried so deep?
The warriors looked at each other and silently leaped back into the holes again.
“We have received a report which stated that more than ten people were buried here… What are you guys doing?” The policen were a little puzzled.
“What does that have to do with you? Hurry up and leave!” The winged cavalry warriors grew impatient.
At this mont, the people from the ssier 87 departnt entered the villa. They took the leader of the policen aside and spoke softly to him before taking out and showing their identification cards to him. The police leader then waved at his n with an inexplicable expression on his face and said, “False alarm. Fall back.”
“Xu Wei, bury and don’t let the boss see.”
“Help as well.”
“ too!”
Sticking by his comrades, Xu Wei leaped up without demur and used a shovel to bury the others before jumping back into his hole and pondering.
There was another problem now. How was he going to bury himself?
