Chapter 334: Chapter 334: Discovered
Indeed, it was very well concealed; the gap of the door was extremely small, and it was all dark in color.
If you didn’t look carefully, you wouldn’t notice it at all.
Moreover, the door and the surrounding stone walls were the exact same color.
Not even paint mixing could be this accurate; someone really put effort into this.
Jhiang Yuan didn’t continue, to tell the truth, she didn’t dare to open the door.
What exactly was inside, she feared she didn’t have the courage to face it.
Plus, the person from before had clearly run outside.
She didn’t dare to gamble, and it wasn’t worth it.
So, she obediently ran back to the door from where she had come.
All doors on the left, she would not enter; upon encountering a crossroads, she would take the far right path.
Since she had made up her mind, it didn’t matter anymore.
Indeed, she discovered several more spots.
Inside were food supplies of various sizes, or side dishes.
However, she hadn’t come across more daily necessities.
It didn’t matter anyway; the goods she had hoarded were already enough for two lifetimes.
At the very least, if they were gone, Xiao Nuan would have enough.
Therefore, she didn’t need to care so much anymore; the feeling was too much like "opening a blind box" in a supermarket, Jhiang Yuan was very happy.
About three hours had probably passed; she kept an eye on the time.
It was already nine o’clock at night, and they were probably asleep.
Ever since she decided to stay away from those people, she felt much more comfortable.
It’s just that Ye Mianmian was a bit difficult; she had promised Grandma Ye to take care of her, and besides, the girl was indeed quite good.
Without them, grandmother and granddaughter, she wouldn’t have her current space.
Sigh, she still had to go out, at least to settle her in before anything else.
Facing reality, one has no choice but to bow their head.
Thinking this, she came out.
"What’s going on?"
Jhiang Yuan looked ahead, somewhat puzzled.
All along, the path had been straight, even at crossroads, it shouldn’t be as winding as it was now.
Even with the limited visibility of the night light, she could see the twists and turns of the path.
Jhiang Yuan felt a bit uneasy; what was she to do, should she continue or not.
It was like walking through intestines, plus the pitch darkness, quite embarrassing.
She looked behind her, where the night light couldn’t reach, it was just as pitch-black.
Truly a dilemma, Jhiang Yuan sighed and decided to keep moving forward.
Turning this way and that, she took each step with extreme caution.
In the end, she finally emerged.
Wow, the path in front was the same as before.
What was going on? It was as if there was a stopper between two paths.
Changming Village was indeed not as harmonious as it seemed on the surface.
The ability to construct such a large project and have so much supply surely meant the local authority was involved.
It was precisely because of these things that they had the confidence to call people to build.
Continuing forward, after passing the corridor, she arrived at the first intersection.
Jhiang Yuan unhesitatingly chose the far right path and after about ten minutes, she unsurprisingly encountered another door.
She thought to herself that it had to be this way.
Hurrying to pick the lock, having done this several times, she was now quite experienced.
However, when she opened the door, she was surprised to find that the lights inside were on.
Did that mean there were people inside?
Jhiang Yuan instantly tensed up, her face filled with horror as she stared ahead.
The place inside wasn’t a grain storage, but it looked like an incredibly luxurious house!
In such an environment, there was even a crystal chandelier; how indulgent!
She turned off her night light and walked in slowly; could this place be a shelter?
Left by someone for themselves?
That’s also a possibility, if there’s no danger, I could settle Ye Mianmian here.
And leave enough food for her, that would be perfect.
Thinking of this, I actually felt a bit happy.
But, I can’t let my guard down.
This suite also followed the same pattern, the room I just came through must have been the living room, and there’s even a storage room in the back.
My goodness, it’s packed tight, all with shelves.
Much more organized than the previous granary, it had everything.
Food, drinks, supplies, you name it, it was practically heaven.
As Jhiang Yuan looked around, she became more and more satisfied, but whoever prepared this must have planned to live here themselves.
And, they must hold quite a high status.
Otherwise, they wouldn’t have the capability to do this.
Next to the storage room, there was even a small corridor.
Inside were three rooms; I hadn’t seen a bedroom before, so they must be in there.
Jhiang Yuan felt apprehensive, the lights were on inside, suggesting someone was there.
Seeing no one outside, they had to be inside.
She tiptoed over, listened at all three doors, but there wasn’t a sound to be heard.
She quietly retreated, not having the courage to push the doors open and look inside.
Jhiang Yuan chose to make a strategic retreat and ransack the storage room instead.
This feeling of being surrounded by supplies was just too cool.
Okay, this place isn’t safe, so I’d better leave for now.
If it remains quiet later, I can consider letting Ye Mianmian stay here.
I exited through the same door I came in, the door clattered shut behind me.
"Who’s there?"
"Oh no..."
To my surprise, there was someone here; Jhiang Yuan was scared to death and hurriedly opened the door to run out.
In her panic, she closed the door too forcefully.
With a "snap," it was all too obvious.
Running back was her first instinct.
If I can make it back, then I’ll go back; if not, I’ll have to hide in my space – I had no other choice.
Luckily, the intersection wasn’t far ahead, and the sound of my voice was loud, followed by the unmistakable sound of footsteps chasing from behind.
"Over there~"
Good heavens, they’re fast; Jhiang Yuan quickly reached for her wrist.
"Hmm..."
Suddenly, an enormous force picked her up and dragged her backwards.
She reached out, trying to pry the arm off, but it was as immovable as a vise.
Jhiang Yuan mentally raced through her options, figuring she had only one last trick left to use.
The person was behind her; a sharp kick backwards would certainly do the trick.
"Don’t be afraid, it’s me~"
A familiar voice came through, and just as Jhiang Yuan was gearing up to strike, she stopped abruptly, feeling almost as if she was going to develop bone spurs from the tension. It was suffocating!
"Why did you come?"
She dared not ask loudly, but the dissatisfaction in her voice was utterly clear.
"Shh, don’t talk!"
We were now in the left corridor, which forked off in a direction opposite to the right corridor I had intended to take.
Two people came running from that side, holding flashlights that flickered in an intimidating way.
"What should we do at the intersection?"
The voice was female, sounding quite familiar, but without seeing her face, I couldn’t immediately recall where I had heard it before.
"Forget it, let’s go back. We’ll have someone clean up this tunnel later."
His tone was emotionless, just like the Young Commander!
