Before he could even finish in shock, Xiao Mao exclaimed: "There's so many wine jars, why is there nothing inside?"

Chen Mu Mu's pupils contracted as he turned his head to look in the direction of Little Hairy.

Xiao Mao jumped onto the wall and started to play. The wine jar that fell from such a high place would more or less break in part. Strangely enough, after those wine jars were shattered, the inside of the jars were completely empty, and not a single thing flowed out.

There were so many wine jars in the huge cellar. Was it all empty?

Chen Mu clenched his fist, and countless emotions flashed through his mind.

"Open all these wine jars and have a look." Lu Jinfeng frowned, and said to the rest.

Everyone was curious about these wine jars, and upon hearing Lu Jinfeng's words, they all went forward and picked up their wine jars, intending to open it.

"Wait." Chen Mu Mu Mu took in a deep breath and said, "Don't open it, smash it open!"

"Why?" Xiao Mao looked at Chen Mu Mu Mu in shock, "Big Sister Chen, these wine jars are all very good, maybe they will be useful in the future."

"The houses have been burnt down, so these jars of wine are not needed." Chen Mu Mu Mu said with a serious expression as he looked around, "If it's all empty, then there might be something wrong with this cellar. Even if there's a problem, I'm afraid that those wine jars might contain something shameful."

The gold and silver treasures were still fine, but what if there were a few poisonous snakes inside? If they were to be released, wouldn't they lose their lives?

Pausing for a moment, he waved his hand. "Forget it, I won't smash it. Move all the wine jars to a new place."

Xiao Mao was a little confused: "Big Sister Chen, why are you not smashing it for a while? Why?"

"I'm afraid of alerting the people up there." Lu Jinfeng spoke up for Chen Mu Mu, "The assassins who want our lives haven't left yet. If they were to smash all the wine jars, maybe we'll lure them over."

"But if it isn't smashed, wouldn't we know what's in the jar?" Ning Yuan asked.

"It's fine, my life is more important." The Madam Li said, "Keeping the green mountains alive is not without firewood. Sometimes, having too much curiosity might not be a good thing."

Curiosity can kill cats, Chen Mu Mu agreed with this logic.

"Just like this, just move the wine jar away."

When Chen Ergou and Ning Yuan heard Chen Mu's words, Lu Jinfeng and the Madam Li did not object. Hence, they quickly reached an agreement, and the few men moved the wine jars away, and sure enough, the gap became larger and larger, until it was wide enough for two people.

"These jars are empty." After Chen Ergou finished carrying the wine jar, he said to Chen Mu.

"There seems to be something inside." Ning Yuan hugged onto a jar of wine, his face was extremely ugly.

When Chen Mu Mu heard this, she quickly went over and picked up the jug of wine. She placed her ear on the jug and listened attentively.

"Hiss, hiss, hiss, hiss ~"

The contents of the jar were somewhat heavy, but they were not heavy either. If one listened carefully, one could faintly hear a faint sound.

Lu Jinfeng also came over to listen and exchanged a look of shock with Chen Mu, "The thing inside is alive."

Chen Mu Mu's complexion turned even more unsightly.

The dead were still okay, but the most troublesome part was still the living.

From the sound of it, it sounded like a snake flicking its tongue.

He quickly placed the wine jars on the ground and said, "You all be careful, don't break these jars. There might be poisonous snakes inside."

Fortunately, they did not unseal the wine jars just now, nor did they shatter them. Otherwise, they would not be standing here right now.

Upon hearing that the wine jars might contain venomous snakes, everyone's expression changed as they tried to stay as far away from the wine jars as possible.

"Staying like this isn't a solution. If we find out that we didn't die after the fire, those assassins won't let it go." Lu Jinfeng pointed to the crack, "Since there is a road there, we might as well go in and take a look."

"Let's go. The road is the way out." Chen Mu Mu Mu glanced at the wine jars with lingering fear in her heart, "Perhaps this place isn't safe even if I stay here for a long time."

Seeing the look in Chen Mu Mu's eyes, everyone's feelings became even more subtle, so they all voted to pass the challenge.

"I'll walk in front. You guys follow my footsteps." Ning Yuan said, and took the lead to walk in.

Madam Li looked strangely at Ning Yuan. Chen Mu Mu Mu explained: "No one knows what kind of thing is inside. Maybe there are hidden mechanisms or weapons, or maybe there are ferocious beasts. Ning Yuan's martial arts are powerful, she is well-informed, has rich experience in the martial arts world, and is more suited to be the leader.

"So that's how it is." The Madam Li nodded and the second one walked into the gap.

"I'm going in too." Chen Ergou said, and followed closely behind Madam Li, "Mother, your legs are not completely healed yet, walk slowly."

Then, Xiao Mao looked at Chen Mu Mu Mu eagerly, "Big Sister Chen, shall we go together?"

Chen Mu looked at Lu Jinfeng, who smiled and said, "One of us has to come to cut off the back, my skills are better than yours."

Chen Mu Mu Mu herself knew what she was capable of. Although in terms of close combat, she might not lose to Lu Jinfeng, but Lu Jinfeng's agility and agility was something she could never compare to. Thus, he did not act flippant and said, "Then take good care of yourself."

As he spoke, he also walked into the crack. When Xiao Mao saw her going in, he immediately chased after her, tightly grabbing onto her clothes as he said: "Big Sister Chen, don't be afraid. With me here, I'll protect you."

Naturally, Chen Mu Mu Mu snorted disdainfully at his words.

It was already a blessing if this brat didn't implicate her, so why should she expect him to protect her?

She didn't understand, but her hatred towards this kid was obvious. Why was this brat still sticking to her?

She didn't seem to have done anything to make him misunderstand.

It was impossible for Xiao Mao to guess what Chen Mu Mu was thinking, he could only hold onto the corner of her clothes clumsily and kept comforting her.

Then, even Chen Mu got annoyed.

Breaking free from the corner of his clothes, he frowned and said, "You walk in front of me."

"Big Sister Chen …" Xiao Mao looked at her with a conflicted expression. His eyes were wet and there was a strange color in the dark cellar.

This was not a good place to act cute. Acting cute here would scare people, right?

Chen Mu shook off the goosebumps on his body and pushed the boy's face to the side. He said seriously, "How old are you to walk in front of me? I'm still a boy. You're so timid, but I can't bear to look down on you."

In ancient times, boys were precocious, and in ancient times, male chauvinism was especially severe.

No matter how much you like a delicate boy who acts cute, when others say he's cowardly, he will still receive ten thousand critical points.

Thus, Xiao Mao silently retracted his hand that was extended out towards her, and turned to walk forward.

As Chen Mu Mu got closer, he could faintly hear his mutterings, "It's not that I'm timid, but that I'm afraid that you'll be frightened walking alone in such a dark place. That's why I decided to follow by your side."

Chen Mu Mu was speechless.

She endured it. She did not speak, so it was fine for a child to take advantage of her.

If she smacked him flying, wouldn't Ning Yuan have his revenge on her later?

Chen Mu suppressed his displeasure and silently walked towards the crack in the pathway.

The cellar was dug underground. It was dark and humid. The most shocking thing was that there were candlelight tables along the alleyway. There was one every ten steps or so, just like the tunnels of the Church in TV dramas. As they walked along, Ning Yuan happened to have a fire piston on him, and easily lit those candles.

The path was long and winding. The few of them had walked for nearly an hour, but they had not finished.

"There's actually such a long road here." Lu Jinfeng looked at the new dirt on the wall, and used his hand to feel it, his eyes revealing a look of deep thought, "This Liu Family, is truly interesting."

"There's a problem." Chen Mu Mu Mu replied with a bad tone, "It's nothing to dig a few tunnels in the backyard, but the house was sold to someone else, so I didn't tell the customer the secret of the house. It's really very unorthodox."

It made her wonder if these people were trying to do something about the house after they bought it.

If it wasn't for the fire, they might not have discovered that someone had stabbed a hole in their backyard.

This was not the most terrifying thing. The most terrifying thing was that these tunnels were not dug by the Liu Family. It was only after they moved in that someone took action.

The more he thought about it, the more terrified he became. Just thinking about it made his mind go numb.

"Who asked us to be greedy?" Lu Jinfeng also didn't console her, and jokingly said with a smile that wasn't a smile, "Since you're greedy, then we can only accept the rest of your suffering."

"In that case, do you have the money and time to build a house?" Chen Mu Mu glared at him in annoyance, "If your luck isn't good, you'll be recognized immediately. Don't try to find excuses." I'll tell you, next time I'll buy a house instead of building one. "

In her world, people basically didn't build their own houses, but bought real estate properties that were built to save time and effort. Who would have thought that back in ancient times, he would have to build his own house in order to live in peace.

However, if someone wanted to tamper with it, it was still possible to get a hole in the house he built.

"I was just saying." Lu Jinfeng was a little helpless, "I know of the term 'defenseless'."

Even though they understood each other, sometimes, they couldn't help but be vexed by the vulgarity in their mouths.

Chen Mu glanced at him, and just as he was about to speak, Ning Yuan stopped.

"No way." Ning Yuan said.

"There can't be no road. If there's no road, then it's an exit." Chen Mu Mu walked forward, "Everyone, scout around here. This cave can't be dug from our backyard, it can only be dug from here. Therefore, there must be a door leading in and out of here."

"Lady Chen's words are reasonable." Ning Yuan knocked on the wall, "It should be the exit around here."

However, after two hours had passed, they were still exhausted, but they were still unable to find the exit.

Chen Ergou was so tired that he was panting on the ground: "I don't want to go back the way I came."

Leaving aside the fact that the assassins outside had all left, this road was indeed very long. It was not easy to walk on. Just thinking of walking back made people afraid.

"Let's rest for a while before we search again. If we really can't find it, then this is the only way to go back." The Madam Li said.
