Liu Chen touched his nose sheepishly. Liu Ruyan said, "That noise just now, it was you who made it, wasn't it?"
She scrutinized Liu Chen, looking him up and down, then grew doubtful again, "But your hands are empty, how did you make such a big hole?"
Liu Chen scrambled to cover up, "That's my secret, I can't tell you. So, want to go in and take a look?"
"Hmph, sure, let's go in. I'm not scared." Liu Ruyan lowered her head, intending to enter when she suddenly felt something was off. She turned to Liu Chen and said, "You go in first."
Tch, women, always making a fuss over everything!
Liu Chen waved his hand, picked up a thick branch from beside him, wrapped some torn clothes around it, lit it as a torch, and crawled into the bend. Liu Ruyan followed closely behind.
The hole was narrow, only allowing them to move in a stoop, and they proceeded slowly, one behind the other. Liu Chen suddenly wondered if this could be a robbers' tunnel, leading to an ancient tomb?
