A Thousand Faces of Grace

Chapter 31 Killing with a knife 1
From the moment they entered the Waist Valley, everyone began to worry about it. After all, it was the Tomb of the King of Hell, which had been frightened for a long time.

It's all because of those damn bandits who burned, killed and robbed more than a dozen merchant ships on the Jinglan River two days ago, and the wedding boat hired by the Xiao family was among them.

When the Emperor heard the news, he was furious and immediately ordered a complete blockade of the river, and mobilized a large number of warships to search for the whereabouts of the bandits, and he was bound to catch them all.

In order not to delay the auspicious time, they had no choice but to choose the dangerous road of Yaoergu.

However, even if it is known that most of the bandits here are stopped by the Jinglan River, the deep-rooted fear of Yao'er Valley in the hearts of everyone is still difficult to erase.

Everyone walked tremblingly, hearing the excited conversation of the dowry maid, the sound of various musical instruments, and the silly hum of the third lady repeated countless times, and the restlessness in their hearts was pushed to the extreme.

After walking for most of the way, nothing unexpected happened. Everyone felt relieved, but felt that the surrounding atmosphere was indescribably weird.

Fortunately, Yaoergu is finally coming to an end.

Everyone let out a sigh of relief.

"Take it easy, everyone. The tunnel ahead is the last dangerous part of Yaoer Valley. As long as we pass there, we will be safe, and prosperity and wealth will be indispensable to everyone."

Looking at a tens of feet long tunnel in front of him, Lao Lu suddenly felt a thump in his heart, feeling a little uneasy. This tunnel is the last dangerous place in Yaoer Valley. After passing through this place, he can rest easy.

However, this is also the easiest place for bandits to ambush. If he was a bandit, he would definitely choose this place to attack.

However, although he was uneasy, he still had to bite the bullet and go on, so he reminded everyone to cheer up.

"Hope everything goes well."

Old Lu prayed secretly, bit the bullet and led the team forward.

The sky had begun to darken, and you couldn't see your fingers in the tunnel. They changed the road temporarily for this trip, and they were sending off their relatives. Naturally, they didn't bring torches and other lighting equipment, so they could only walk in the dark.

Perhaps it was an instinctive fear of darkness by nature, or maybe the maids also vaguely felt the tension in the atmosphere. After entering the tunnel, they all closed their noisy mouths all the way.

Because the light was too dark, the band also stopped playing music, only the humming in the sedan chair remained the same, even the tune did not fluctuate at all.

Everyone involuntarily held their breath and concentrated on walking carefully. The more they walked forward, the tighter their nerves became. Every heart hung high and could pop out of their mouths at any time.

It was getting darker and darker inside, and gradually, even the people in front of and behind him could not be seen clearly.

The singing in the bridal sedan also stopped at some point, the floor of the tunnel was abnormally soft, there was no sound of foot stepping on it, and there was an eerie silence in the tunnel.

"Ah!" A sudden scream broke the silence and raised everyone's hearts to their throats.

"what……"

"what……"

There were screams one after another, the maids ran forward, and the team suddenly became a mess.

"Stop for me, what happened?"

Hearing that the screaming one was one of the dowry maids, Lao Lu lowered his face and asked sharply.

The maids also stopped walking when they heard the words. In fact, they didn't run very far at all, because after just a few steps, they all realized that if something terrible happened, it would be safest to stay in the team.

"Just now, yes, something crawled over my feet..."

The maid who screamed first replied stammeringly, her voice became softer as she spoke, obviously she also realized what it was that crawled over her feet, and suddenly she lacked confidence.
