The ancestor is here, she is here with space

Chapter 232 What's Under the Creek

Lin Congyun didn't say anything, but stood up and walked back and forth along the stream, as if looking for something.

Suddenly, she stopped and stared at a stone by the stream, with a thoughtful expression on her face.

Then, he asked Niu Qigu to find Wu Jinjie and ask him to bring a few people who were good at swimming.

Not long after, Wu Jinjie hurried over with a few guards.

"Ancestor, what do you want us for?" Wu Jinjie looked at Lin Congyun and asked puzzledly.

"Look at this stream, is there anything unusual?" Lin Congyun asked, pointing at the stream.

Upon hearing this, Wu Jinjie immediately walked to the stream and observed it carefully.

Soon, he discovered something unusual about the stream, and a look of surprise appeared on his face: "Why is this mist glowing?"

"This light is most likely emitted from the bottom of the stream." Lin Congyun said in a deep voice, "I want you to go down and see what is underneath."

As soon as Lin Congyun finished speaking, several guards brought by Wu Jinjie rushed to go down. Finally, he chose the guard who was the best swimmer and let him go down first.

Several other people were pulling a rope above the stream. If someone encountered danger, the guard would pull the rope so that the others could pull him up.

After making all the arrangements, the guard took a deep breath and dived into the water.

Lin Congyun looked at the water nervously, fearing that something might happen to this person.

Fortunately, the guard was a very good swimmer and quickly dived to the bottom of the stream.

After a while, the rope began to shake violently. Seeing this, several people immediately pulled the rope hard and pulled him out of the water.

"How is it down there?" Wu Jinjie asked anxiously, looking at the wet guard.

"There's a hole below... There's a hole below." The man gasped, took a breath, and then said, "There's a faint light coming out of that hole."

"The entrance to the cave?" Lin Congyun raised his eyebrows when he heard this. "Did you see it clearly?"

"I can see it clearly." The guard nodded. "The entrance to the cave is just under the rock at the bottom of the stream. Only a small crack is exposed. It is difficult to find if you don't look for it specifically."

Lin Congyun didn't say anything, but fell into deep thought.

If what the guard said was true, then could the hole at the bottom of the stream be the entrance to the treasure that the second prince had been looking for?

But why did this cave entrance suddenly emit light?

"Ancestor, what should we do now?" Wu Jinjie looked at Lin Congyun, waiting for her instructions.

"Let's go back first. This matter needs careful consideration." Lin Congyun pondered for a moment and said slowly.

Although she wanted to explore the cave entrance immediately, she knew that she couldn't rush into it, otherwise it would easily alert the enemy.

Upon hearing this, several people nodded, and then followed Lin Congyun away from the stream.

After returning home, Lin Congyun immediately told Fang Xinfeng and Fang Xinlei about this matter. Upon hearing this, both of them showed shocked expressions on their faces.

"Grandma, what is under that stream?" Fang Xinlei looked at Lin Congyun and asked curiously.

"I don't know either." Lin Congyun said in a deep voice, "Let's go to the creek again and see if we can find more clues."

"Yes." The two of them responded in unison immediately.

After lunch, Lin Congyun brought Fang Xinfeng and his brother to the creek again.

The stream at this moment looked no different from usual. Even the morning mist was no longer visible, and of course the faint light did not appear at this moment.

"You guys wait up there, I'll go down and take a look." Lin Congyun looked at the two brothers and ordered.

"Grandma, please let me go." Fang Xinfeng said immediately, "I am also very good at swimming. I can go down and take a look."

"Do not……"

Before Lin Congyun finished her words, Fang Xinlei pulled her back and said, "When Third Uncle left, he asked us brothers to take good care of our grandmother. How could we let her go into the water?"

As he spoke, Fang Xinlei winked at Fang Xinfeng, signaling him to get into the water quickly.

Fang Xinfeng understood and immediately walked to the stream, took a deep breath, and then dived into the water.

Seeing this, Lin Congyun shook his head helplessly. These two boys are quite filial.

She looked at the water nervously, fearing that Fang Xinfeng might encounter some danger in the water.

Fortunately, Fang Xinfeng was a good swimmer and he quickly dived to the bottom of the stream.

After a long time, he still hadn't come up. Lin Congyun couldn't help but get anxious. Just when he was about to ask Fang Xinlei to go down and take a look, he saw Fang Xinfeng emerging from the water.

"Grandma, there is indeed a cave entrance down there." Fang Xinfeng said as soon as he got ashore, "The entrance is blocked by a rock, leaving only a crack. I can't get in."

"Do you see what's inside the cave?" Lin Congyun asked anxiously.

"It's pitch black inside the cave, and I can't see anything." Fang Xinfeng shook his head, "But I feel like there seems to be a lot of space inside the cave."

"A very large space?" Lin Congyun raised his eyebrows when he heard this. "Are you sure?"

"I'm sure." Fang Xinfeng nodded. "Although I can't get in, I can feel that the space behind the cave entrance is very large..."

It’s a very large space. Could it be that the Second Prince is looking for the treasure hiding behind there?

While Lin Congyun was still thinking, Wu Jinjie hurried over from a distance, "Ancestor, it's bad, those people outside started to set fire."

Hearing this, Lin Congyun's heart sank suddenly. His eyes instantly looked outside the valley, only to see the sky gradually being dyed with an ominous red.

"Quick! Everyone, move to the depths of the valley immediately!" Lin Congyun's voice was firm and powerful. She gave orders quickly, with an unquestionable light flashing in her eyes.

Upon hearing this, everyone did not dare to delay at all. They stood up and evacuated quickly and orderly to the depths of the valley according to the pre-planned route.

As everyone quickened their pace, a faint smell of burning began to fill the air, which was a signal that a fire was approaching in the distance.

While commanding everyone to retreat, Lin Congyun paid close attention to changes in the surrounding environment.

The fire outlined a hideous shape in the sky, and reflected on Lin Congyun's resolute face, adding a bit of determination and indomitable spirit to her.

"Grandma, will the fire spread here?" Fang Xinlei looked at the flames in the distant sky with a worried look on his face.

"Don't worry, this place is deep in the valley and surrounded by streams, so the fire can't spread here." Lin Congyun said in a deep voice, his tone revealing a soothing power.

Although she appeared calm on the outside, she was filled with worry.

She knew that those people's goal was not only to burn the mountain, but also to force them out of the valley and then catch them all in one fell swoop.

Thinking of this, a cold light flashed in Lin Congyun's eyes.

She would never let this happen!
