Hearing Yuan Meng's scream, Yuan Xingcheng frowned and immediately pushed open the door to the inner room and rushed in.
Seeing him go in too, the old man's face turned even uglier. His turbid eyes narrowed into slits as he stared intently at the door of the inner room.
Then, he turned to look at the guests. His eyes were as venomous as if he were looking at dead people.
At this moment, everyone was concerned about what was going on in the inner room and didn't notice the old man's strange behavior, except for Mo Lin.
He took a deep breath and followed the others into the inner room. Only then did he realize that this shabby little wooden house had quite a different world inside.
Pushing open the door of the inner room, instead of another room, there was an open backyard.
Yuan Xingcheng, who had rushed in first, stood not far from Yuan Meng and rolled his eyes.
Since he found out that Yuan Meng was his little aunt, every time he saw her acting all coy, he felt extremely uncomfortable all over.
It was a bone - deep chill. If you asked, he'd say he felt like vomiting.
Mainly because he pictured his little aunt's real self. A tough and fearless woman acting coy was just too much to bear.
Everyone was also a bit stunned after entering the backyard. Yuan Meng stood not far from Yuan Xingcheng, and there was a man beside the cellar entrance in the backyard.
The man was holding an axe high in his hand and staring at Yuan Meng with a hostile look.
Yuan Meng seemed to be scared silly. She stood there motionless, her body trembling as she shed helpless tears. She looked so pitiful, like a pear blossom in the rain.
[WTF, what's going on? I thought it was just a room inside, but it's actually a yard. So there really are clues?]
[This man with the axe is so scary. Yuan Meng was scared to tears. I almost cried myself when the camera went in just now.]
[Yuan Meng is really a lucky star. She always finds the clues. Looks like the director was just pretending to stop them earlier?]
After seeing the unique backyard, Yuan Meng's reputation took another turn.
The man looked at the guests warily. The old man shuffled over to him and gave him a meaningful look.
Then, he glanced at the cameraman.
Only after seeing the black camera did the man restrain his look and throw the axe on the ground with a thud.
Yuan Meng looked down at the axe. The black axe had a faint rust and a few spots of blood. If you didn't look closely, you couldn't tell.
"What's going on?" Yuan Xingcheng walked over to her and asked.
Seeing him give her an opening, Yuan Meng's body trembled, and she started crying again.
"Just now, I saw the cellar and thought there might be clues underground, so I wanted to open it and go in."
"But when I was opening the cellar, this man suddenly popped out. He was holding an axe and seemed like he was going to chop me."
"So I ran away screaming desperately, and then you guys came in."
Yuan Meng looked at everyone pitifully and then at the axe on the ground, trying to make the others notice something wrong with the axe.
However, no one understood what she meant. They just thought it had been a really close call.
"She just suddenly came in. I thought it was a thief, so I took the axe and came out."
"I didn't expect to see a woman. If I'd known it was a woman, I wouldn't have bothered with the axe," the man explained coldly, sounding unhappy.
"Besides, what evidence could there be here? Don't the people from the show know they're not supposed to break into private houses?"
"I, I thought the director... I'm sorry," Yuan Meng blushed in embarrassment and wrung her hands in front of her.
Just then, the old man gave the man a look, and the man shook his head slightly.
Only then did the old man let out a long sigh of relief, looking a bit better: "Why don't you leave quickly?"
"There are no clues here. If you keep searching, get out of the village!"
Hearing this, everyone felt a bit embarrassed. Yang Liu rolled her eyes at Yuan Meng.
She took big steps and walked out first. Just as the others were about to leave, a sound suddenly came from the cellar.
It was very similar to the sound of knocking on a door before, but it seemed like it was something inside the cellar being knocked on.
Yuan Meng let out another fake scream and hid beside Yuan Xingcheng: "It's so scary. Why is there a sound in there?"
"You city people know nothing. It's been empty in there for a long time. There are rats. Why don't you leave?"
"If you don't leave, do you think I won't really kick you out of the village?" the old man explained and glared at them.
Even though everyone was curious about what was in the cellar, there was nothing they could do. They silently walked out of the house.
After leaving the house, Yuan Meng looked back and thoughtfully said, "The man just now came out of the cellar with an axe in his hand."
"Why did the old man say no one had lived there for a long time?"
Hearing this, Mo Lin narrowed his eyes meaningfully.
[Guys, this is so confusing. I don't quite understand what's going on. So there really are no clues?]
[If there are no clues, why are they guarding it so tightly? And Yuan Meng is right. What on earth is in the cellar?]
[I suddenly have a bold guess...]
[Don't use ellipses! What's the guess?]
On the way out, Yuan Meng kept tugging at Yuan Xingcheng's clothes and acting all pitiful.
When she thought it was about time, she turned off the microphone on the front of her clothes and gave her nephew a look. Her nephew silently reached out to turn his off too.
Yuan Meng lowered her voice: "Avoid the cameras."
Yuan Xingcheng softly responded with an "mm", and the aunt - nephew pair walked at the back of the group.
"I don't know why the show is so unlucky. Just randomly pick a village to film a variety show and end up with something real," Yuan Meng rolled her eyes.
Although her face was different from usual, her aura and the way she spoke were extremely similar.
Yuan Xingcheng sighed again. It was a pity that such a cute girl had turned out to be his little aunt.
"Are you saying the people in this village are really involved in human trafficking?" he immediately asked.
"Yeah. Otherwise, why do you think they tried so hard to stop us?"
"Help me cover. I'll go back and take a look. I don't know what those people will do to the girl in the cellar after we accidentally discovered the backyard," Yuan Meng said.
Hearing this, Yuan Xingcheng immediately shook his head: "No, it's too dangerous."
Hearing this, Yuan Meng narrowed her eyes. Her nephew had grown up, and she was very pleased.
However...
"Don't worry. A few more guys like that are no match for your aunt," she said arrogantly.
Seeing how confident she was, Yuan Xingcheng suddenly felt a bit choked up because what she said was true.
After seeing his little aunt act like a cute girl for the past few days, he had actually forgotten her true self. It was a sin!
Yuan Xingcheng turned on the microphone on his collar: "My clothes are all dirty. No, I have to go change. I feel so uncomfortable all over."
After he said this, Yuan Meng embarrassedly let go of his clothes. Her face blushed, and she said in a flustered way: "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to."
"I thought I was going to be killed just now. I was really scared." Then she started acting all coy again.
