Chapter 149 Taoyao Appears
"Brother, how long do you think it has been?" Hua Miaomiao sat by the fireplace, holding a cup of hot tea and counting the time.
The passage of time cannot be felt in the closed environment, and Hua Miaomiao can only judge how much time has passed based on her body's reactions.
Fortunately, the Ge brothers all had the habit of getting richer and richer, and Ge Qingcheng brought enough things in his bag. Although there was nothing to allow them to leave, it was enough to improve their living conditions.
After a long period of trying, disappointment, and anger, the two calmed down. Since nothing they did was of any use, they might as well just wait quietly for someone to rescue them.
Since she had nothing to do, Hua Miaomiao started to feel curious again.
"Brother, if my sister doesn't nod, are you going to just wait like this?"
Ge Qingcheng didn't expect her to ask so directly. In fact, he didn't have an answer in his heart. He knew that Hua Niaoniao had feelings for him, and he also knew that there were too many things Hua Niaoniao couldn't let go of. Maybe he hadn't shown enough to make her trust him and rely on him.
"Brother, sometimes you don't have to be so gentlemanly when pursuing a girl. Sometimes, a little trickery is also okay."
Ge Qingcheng turned his head and looked at her, with a very subtle expression on his face, "Do you know what you are saying? If your sister hears it, she will definitely punish you."
"Don't be afraid. I can rest assured that I can bring you two together. Even if she really wants to beat me up afterwards, I will accept it." Hua Miaomiao said it with such righteousness that she almost moved herself.
"Really?" An unhappy female voice suddenly came from behind.
Hua Miaomiao paused. From Ge Qingcheng's expression as he watched the show, she roughly knew who the person behind her was.
Hua Miaomiao stamped her feet in anger, "Brother, you actually tricked me?"
"Hua Miaomiao!" Hua Niaoniao shouted coldly.
Hua Miaomiao turned around with her head down, took small steps to Hua Niaoniao's side, daring only to look at her toes.
"Sister, you are finally here. We were almost dying of anxiety."
"Really? I didn't realize that." Hua Niaoniao looked at the furnishings in the cave meaningfully. There was food and drink, and all that was missing was a bed. It seemed that these two people were living a very comfortable life.
She was so angry that she poked Hua Miaomiao's head with her hand. "You are such a heartless person. I was so worried about you that I went through so much trouble to get help. And you plotted against me behind my back?"
Hua Miaomiao knew she was in the wrong and didn't dare to say anything. However, she seemed to have heard Hua Niaoniao mention calling for help. She looked up behind Hua Niaoniao and saw Pi Fu and Xiu Zhu looking at her leisurely.
"Don't look, it's just the two of us." Pi Fu said with a teasing look, and Hua Miaomiao's little thoughts were written on her face.
Hua Miaomiao looked away in disappointment. He didn't come under such circumstances. Did Tao Yao really not care about her?
"Let's go out and talk about it, Miaomiao. Your sister is still injured and it's not advisable for her to stay in this cave for too long." Xiuzhu urged everyone to leave.
As soon as they heard that Hua Niaoniao was injured, Hua Miaomiao and Ge Qingcheng rushed forward and checked her out with concern.
"Is everything okay?"
"It's okay, just a minor injury."
"No, I have to check it carefully after I get out to feel at ease."
Hua Miaomiao didn't care about anything else. She supported Hua Niaoniao and was about to leave, but just as she raised her foot, she put it back.
"Hey, where do we go from here?"
Hua Miaomiao looked at the surrounding walls, and just like before, she didn't see any exit or anything like that. The three of them seemed to have appeared out of thin air.
Pi Fu sighed and took out an unknown object. It emitted a faint pink halo, enveloping everyone.
"What is this..." Hua Miaomiao felt dizzy before she could finish her words, and then her eyes suddenly lit up, and she finally saw the light of day again.
Several people were brought to the outside of the tomb by the teleportation array. The villagers who had gone missing after following them into the tomb were lying scattered on the ground.
"Thank you both for your help." Ge Qingcheng thanked them sincerely. Although these villagers followed him to the tomb voluntarily, if something really happened, he would feel guilty towards their families.
Xiuzhu waved his hands and explained, "You thanked the wrong person. We didn't save them."
Just as he finished speaking, he saw Tao Yao carrying the unconscious Gu Zi in a pink light, and he carefully placed the person on the ground.
Ge Qingcheng went forward to inquire about the situation. After Tao Yao checked on Gu Zi, she stood up and said to Ge Qingcheng, "He is not in danger of death. He just got hit by a falling rock and injured his leg. He has not eaten for many days and is a little weak."
"When did the child go in? I didn't bring the child in." He still has this bottom line.
"Judging from the level of miasma in his body, he should go down before all of you."
In other words, the person who caused the land to collapse might be Gu Zi. Could he be the tomb robber they were looking for?
"What on earth is this kid doing?" Ge Qingcheng felt sad. He had done him favors many times. Although he did not ask for anything in return, he should at least not be an ungrateful person.
Tao Yao patted his shoulder and said, "Don't guess. We will know everything when he wakes up."
Ge Qingcheng looked at the man in front of him. Although he told himself that this was his younger brother who he had been with for more than 20 years, he still felt a little unreal. Especially the aura he exuded made him realize that it would be difficult for them to go back to the way they used to get along.
"Thank you for coming here."
"It's okay, as long as you are okay."
Hua Miaomiao stood not far away, looking at Tao Yao who was no longer covered by the mask. For a moment, she felt homesick and could only stare at him blankly.
Tao Yao felt her gaze, but acted as if he was unaware and did not take the initiative to talk to her.
Not until the village chief and his men sent all the unconscious villagers back home, Tao Yao sealed the tomb door tightly, and they returned to the Ge family villa.
Everyone noticed something was wrong between the two. Hua Miaomiao stood at the door angrily, while Tao Yao sat in the hall drinking tea comfortably. If it were in the past, he would have gone up to coax her.
Hua Niaoniao tried to signal to Hua Miaomiao several times, but Hua Miaomiao refused to give in and was unwilling to take the initiative to step forward.
Ge Qingcheng saw that Tao Yao did it on purpose, so he poked him with his arm and stared at him with some disapproval.
Tao Yao looked back at him, and he finally spoke, but what he said was: "Brother, this underground is quite evil, and no one can go in again."
Ge Qingcheng rolled his eyes in his heart. I know this even if you don't tell me. And is now the time to talk about this? Are you going to coax this wife? Do you still want her or not?
He had no choice but to look to Hua Niaoniao for help. Hua Niaoniao looked at the two of them with a headache, they both had childish tempers, so immature!
"This time, we have to thank Tao Yao for this. If he hadn't arrived in time, we wouldn't know how serious the loss was. Before he left, he gave me a talisman and asked me to burn it and notify him when I needed it."
She said this specifically for Hua Miaomiao to hear. It's not that he doesn't care about you. Even if you run away with someone else, he still cares about your safety.
Hua Miaomiao snorted and turned away. What's wrong with this annoying guy coaxing me? Don't I need face? Is it so difficult to give me a way out? If it were before... If it were before...
Hua Miaomiao suddenly realized that ever since she knew that Ah Xue was Tao Yao, she always seemed to compare Tao Yao with Ge Qinglan unconsciously. It was very unfair to Tao Yao to force Ge Qinglan's style of doing things on her.
Maybe she should go and apologize to him.
Hua Miaomiao was running in the corridor, passing by Hua Niaoniao and others who were looking surprised, and finally caught up with Tao Yao before she entered the house.
"Taoyao!"
Tao Yao stopped, turned around, and looked at her straight, as if waiting for her next words.
Hua Miaomiao was a little timid. She opened her mouth, but no sound came out of her throat. She wanted to say what she had been thinking, but looking at his clear eyes, she felt like he had seen through her, and she couldn't say the words that came to her lips.
"You are tired too, so go to bed early." Tao Yao said lightly, then turned around and prepared to go into the house.
"Taoyao." Hua Miaomiao called him again, but this time, he did not look back.
Looking at his back, Hua Miaomiao felt very uncomfortable. She knew that he was just returning to the room, but she had a feeling that he was about to leave.
"It's cold on rainy nights, remember to add a blanket."
Tao Yao left this sentence, walked into the room and closed the door.
Hua Miaomiao looked at the closed door in front of her and said silently: "I know, thank you."
