“This fish was left to me by my grandmother; it’s a family heirloom. I wouldn’t have brought it out if it weren’t related to the mural of the King of Ten Thousand Slaves and my previous research,” Cheng Yu said, glancing at Ling Xiao and pursing his lips.

“Child, do you know that Cheng Yu has a bronze fish with snake-eyebrows?” Jieyuhua asked.

Ling Xiao shook his head.

"I remember the kid brought you out of the underground boxing gym. You said you needed money to save your grandma back then?" Xie Yuhua's tone was accusatory. At this moment, he had every reason to suspect who sent Cheng Yu. Was it really such a coincidence that they just picked up someone and brought them back with such a big secret?

"Stop looking, we can't find it, we should go out now," Ling Xiao said, tugging at Xie Yuhua's sleeve.

"What do you mean 'can't find'?" Wu Xie rushed over to ask upon hearing this.

Ling Xiao pointed upwards, and Wu Xie immediately realized what he meant, recalling the incident at the village doctor's house. His face paled, and he asked, "Is it related to this?"

"But why did it do that?" Wu Xie said with some indignation. He felt it was unfair and like he was being played with like a fool.

Why? Because this world belongs to them. They can set whatever rules they want, and whatever they want to disappear will disappear. What does fairness matter? Some people are born to be protagonists, while others can only be villains or cannon fodder. Why? Wasn't it destined from the very beginning?

That's why he fought for it himself; only those who survive have the right to talk about fairness.

Of course, Ling Xiao would not say these things.

"Why didn't you let me continue asking?" Xie Yuhua whispered to the child on the way back.

"How do you plan to ask him? Will you try to provoke him into talking? This occasion and Cheng Yu are not suitable. What do you plan to do with him after you find out? It's better to just let him stay here."

He's a child, literally. I wouldn't misjudge him. When I brought him home, I did my homework. His probation period wasn't for nothing.

Is he capable, a genius at this kind of work, or do you think his grandmother, who can raid tombs with Chen Yunjin, is some simple person?

"I won't let unsuitable people follow me to the grave. Sometimes, you should trust me." Ling Xiao spoke very gently.

He didn't need to be taught any profound principles by Jieyuhua; he simply didn't believe it. With so many doubts, disbelief was inevitable.

They slowly crawled back to the crevice. The temperature was noticeably different from inside. It was still snowing heavily outside. The group didn't go out, but they all put on their cotton-padded coats. Shunzi also woke up.

"Why did you wake up so late, even though you didn't have to crawl?" The fat man rolled his eyes.

Shunzi kept apologizing, saying sorry to everyone several times. Wuxie even gave Shunzi some dry food, as he hadn't eaten anything since he was unconscious for so long and was afraid he wouldn't be able to hold on.

The advantage of being further inside the crevice is that it's neither too cold nor too hot, so sleeping here provides both shelter from the snow and a sense of security.

Just looking at the location where the rock crevice meets the stone tablet is not reliable. There is no light inside, so you can't know the day and night cycle outside. If you really want to know what's going on outside, you have to go out and explore.

Several people took turns on duty, but Ling Xiao couldn't see them, so he didn't have to take turns.

It took about three to five days for the wind and snow to finally stop.

Wu Xie was a little upset because he lost a fish, and a blister appeared on his tongue.
