My Silly, Sweet Wife

Wu Caijun pulled the burly man to Ye Guichen and said, ”Sandao, this is the benefactor I told you about. He not only saved my life but also helped us secure the demolition funds.”

Wu Sandao was nearly 1.9 meters tall, exuding an oppressive aura from a distance. Perhaps because he had been slaughtering pigs for many years, he carried a heavy stench of blood that made people feel inexplicably scared when they saw him.

It was said that people like him could ward off ghosts.

Ye Guichen smiled but didn’t explain.

Ye Guichen didn’t know if ghosts existed in this world, but he was confident that even if they did, he could deal with them.

However, since Wu Caijun had good intentions, Ye Guichen didn’t refuse.

”Alright, let’s go down and take a look.” Originally, Ye Guichen didn’t want Wu Caijun to get involved, but Wu Caijun insisted on repaying him and was afraid something might happen to him. Left with no choice, Ye Guichen agreed.

After returning, Ye Guichen specifically bought some realgar powder.

He tossed a packet to both Wu Caijun and Wu Sandao, instructing, ”If you really see something, just throw this out.”

Wu Sandao picked up the realgar powder that Ye Guichen had thrown and sniffed it. ”Realgar?”

Despite Wu Sandao’s intimidating appearance, his voice was a bit high-pitched, not matching his burly build.

”That’s right. I suspect there may be venomous snakes down below.” Ye Guichen didn’t explain further, leading the way to the cave entrance. His body slipped down like an eel, quickly disappearing inside.

Wu Sandao and Wu Caijun followed behind.

In a low voice, Wu Sandao asked, ”Bro, there won’t really be anything dirty down there, will there?”

Wu Caijun replied, ”How would I know? But our benefactor said, if we don’t deal with what’s inside, someone will die during the demolition. Just make sure to protect our benefactor tonight.”

”Oh.” Wu Sandao agreed dumbly, though he was silently cursing inside.

So what if someone dies? What’s it got to do with him?

But since childhood, he had always trusted Wu Caijun, his big brother. If Wu Caijun said so, he’d do it.

Thinking this, Wu Sandao stuffed the realgar powder into his pocket and pulled out a boning knife from his waist, then crawled into the cave.

The cave entrance wasn’t very big, just enough for Wu Sandao to squeeze through.

Ye Guichen moved quickly at the front, soon descending more than ten meters. The initially narrow space began to widen a bit.

Ye Guichen sniffed lightly and caught a faint scent of blood.

”Hmm?” Ye Guichen furrowed his brows and quickened his pace.

Halfway down the cave, the flashlight in Ye Guichen’s hand flickered twice and went out.

He looked back and saw that Wu Caijun and Wu Sandao hadn’t reached him yet.

With a brief hesitation, Ye Guichen decided to continue climbing down without waiting.

With Ye Guichen’s skills, although he couldn’t see as well in the dark as during the day, it didn’t affect his actions.

After climbing nearly a hundred meters, Ye Guichen suddenly found himself in a room-sized space about ten square meters wide. In the middle of this room was a nearly rotted coffin.

Inside the coffin were some jars and bottles, as well as gold and silver jewelry and other burial items.

”This is actually a tomb?” Ye Guichen was shocked. Suddenly, a sharp infant’s cry echoed from above.

Ye Guichen quickly looked up, his face changing drastically.

”Wah-wah!” Accompanied by the sharp cry, a black figure opened its huge mouth and lunged at him.

”Seeking death!” Ye Guichen cursed lowly. He agilely dodged and leapt into the tomb.

But before Ye Guichen could steady himself, the black figure rushed at him again, stirring up a strong wind in the confined space.

Ye Guichen was ready. He grabbed a handful of realgar and scattered it outward.

With Ye Guichen’s prompt, the realgar powder flew out like raindrops, hitting the black figure.

”Wah-wah!” The infant’s cry became more sorrowful, making one’s scalp tingle.

Just climbing two-thirds down, the faces of Wu Caijun and his brother changed drastically. ”Hurry up, our benefactor seems to have encountered that thing.”
