Chapter 273 - 273 A Little Heartbeat
But what was even more terrifying than this speed was obviously the final result.
This was no joke.
There’s a nine out of ten chance that what Tong Sanlang was planning was a rebellion.
As a commoner, the biggest thing she ever encountered was fighting against some real burdens.
Rebellion, that’s too big of a matter.
It was so big that her heart quivered at the mere thought of it, making her anxious.
Therefore, she was currently conflicted by the situation.
On one hand, the rationale was exerting all its might to hold her back, trying every means to stop her from madness.
But on the other hand, her emotions were constantly tempting her with the waving fan.
Behind the fan, stood Tong Sanlang.
This was some extraordinary youth.
She was a person who had been traumatized before, but now this young man was quietly hiding behind the emotional part of her, attracting her.
There was no choice, owing a life-saving favor left a huge impact.
When she fell from the second floor and was engulfed by fear, he appeared all of a sudden with strong and vigorous arms bolstering her collapsing world.
The shock he brought at that moment tore into her heart, and he broke in like that.
And not just once.
Later, when she faced Bai Zhi, he followed her silently, assisting her in acting arrogant and defiant.
Having someone to help her in acting defiant and stepping on others felt too wonderful.
Then she discovered something even more wonderful: He could heal her wounds with his saliva.
This was as fantastical as time traveling.
What did this indicate?
What deep meaning was hidden?
These unknown mysteries made her pay more attention to Tong Sanlang involuntarily.
The more she noticed, the deeper she fell.
He was skilled in martial arts, cooking, hunting, and laboring, had a warm and reliable embrace, although it was wrong to propose a marriage to drag her into a risky plan in the first place, but isn’t love supposed to be irrational?
Wasn’t his doing so just a display of his affection for her?
He stopped talking about it when he saw she was unwilling, only silently helping her.
Look, this affection soon evolved into love.
Affection has a bit of recklessness and selfishness, but love is all about thinking for her.
For his sincerity, she forgave his impulsive proposal.
People always do irrational things when they are impulsive, like her now, contemplating whether she should take this risky path. How scary!
Tong Sanlang was unaware of Qiao Xiaomai’s inner struggle, thinking that she simply wanted to know more.
He put the remaining candies into his pocket and continued his task at hand, saying, “I don’t know how the treasure was buried here. When my grandfather came here, the treasure was already here, and the secret tunnel in the mountain was already there.”
“As for the inside, it is like a three-story house buried underground, wrapped in an iron shell.”
“However, my grandfather and I haven’t entered it for ten years.”
“Years ago, when Daqi was just established, there were few people, and there were a lot of natural disasters, the common people were living a hard life. My grandfather took out some silver and let Tingfeng Pavilion distribute aid.”
“Because almost all the silver was spent, only some gold and other items were left.”
“In recent years, the people of Daqi have been living stable lives, so my grandfather sealed the secret tunnel. It has not been opened for ten years.”
By the time Tong Sanlang finished speaking, he had already prepared the batter for the egg pancake and sat down in front of the stove to light the fire.
Qiao Xiaomai was somewhat stunned after hearing his words, “Your grandfather, actually used all that silver to aid in disaster relief?”
