Chapter 149 Wen Yunhong's Photo Album
Sigh, we can't alert these bandits yet. The boxes in the secret room mustn't be touched. As Xia Yichen was leaving, he stopped at the doorway, glanced back at the entrance to the secret room, and then reluctantly departed.
Wen Yuxia watched with amusement, thinking to herself, "Heh heh, Xia Yichen is still greedy. If it weren't for the safety of the innocent people in the valley, Xia Yichen would definitely have made her move all the boxes from the secret room."
She smiled faintly and said, "Young master, would you like to take a look at the storeroom?" Xia Yichen shook his head. What was the point of looking at the things in the storeroom if he couldn't take them? "Mu Hua, take me to the study."
Wen Yuxia mentally reviewed the situation, confirming that she hadn't seen a study in the village. Considering that such a large village as Five Tiger Village couldn't possibly be without a study,
She hesitated for a moment before saying, "I don't see the study. There seems to be another room behind the screen in the Hall of Gathering Righteousness. Let's go take a look there."
As usual, Xia Yichen put on a mask and was led into the space by Wen Yuxia. Wen Yuxia then headed alone towards the Hall of Gathering Righteousness. Upon arriving at the Hall of Gathering Righteousness...
Wen Yuxia waved her hand, moving Xia Yichen and Wen Yunhong out of the space together, and said in a low voice, "I'll stay here to keep watch, you two go and check the back."
Finding no letters in the chieftain's room, Xia Yichen decided to try his luck in the study. Wen Yuxia didn't know if the study was behind the screen in the main hall; she just figured it would save time for two people to search than one.
Xia Yichen nodded and said, "Okay," then walked towards the screen with Wen Yunhong.
Behind the screen was indeed a study. With no opportunity to miss a thing, Xia Yichen quickly and carefully browsed the books on the shelves and the Xuan paper on the desk.
"Hong'er, check if there's a secret room in the room," Xia Yichen assigned Wen Yunhong a task while flipping through a book.
Wen Yunhong carefully felt the wall with both hands, then suddenly said, "There's a bump about the size of a grain of rice here." He then pressed his fingertip against the bump and probed downwards.
With a "snap," Xia Yichen, who was engrossed in flipping through a book, was startled by the sound before he could even reply. He turned and lunged at Wen Yunhong, grabbing him and quickly retreating backward with a light tap of his toes on the ground.
"Young Master, what are you doing?" Wen Yunhong, held in Xia Yichen's arms, was a little confused. He looked up at Xia Yichen with a puzzled expression and asked.
Xia Yichen said with a stern face, "Who told you to press the switch? What if a hidden weapon shoots out and hurts you?"
Wen Yuxia doted on her younger brother, and Xia Yichen dared not let Wen Yunhong be in danger. Upon hearing the noise, his first reaction was to retreat with Wen Yunhong.
Wen Yunhong was somewhat speechless. He had already prepared to back away when he pressed the switch, but he didn't move because he saw that it was a small hidden compartment that popped out of the wall and there was no danger.
Uh, how could he forget that Wen Yunhong was skilled in martial arts? Releasing Wen Yunhong's hands and giving him his freedom, Xia Yichen said innocently, "I forgot."
He then went over to examine the letters and seals in the hidden compartment and whispered to Wen Yunhong, "Go and bring your sister in."
"Does Mu Hua have any way to make a copy of these letters?" Xia Yichen asked eagerly as soon as he saw Wen Yuxia. He had a blind trust in Wen Yuxia, believing that she had the ability to make copies.
Wen Yuxia said with some difficulty, "Letter paper is different from photocopying paper. Photocopied letters cannot replace the originals, and taking away the originals will cause trouble for the people in the valley."
Xia Yichen raised the corners of his mouth and said lightly, "I only need the contents of the letter."
If the bandits of Five Tiger Stronghold were truly government soldiers in disguise, he didn't have enough troops to fight them. He could only copy the letter and send it back to the capital for the emperor to handle.
Without saying a word, Wen Yuxia took the letter and seal from the hidden compartment and vanished from Xia Yichen's sight.
Back in her room, Wen Yuxia found her phone, which she hadn't used in ages, and started snapping photos of the stamp, the envelope, and the contents of the letter.
Then, she used a photocopier to make two copies of each letter. After doing all this, she came out of the spatial dimension, stood beside Xia Yichen, and said softly, "All copied."
"Sister, something bad has happened! The bandits in the square are coming this way!" Wen Yunhong's voice was tinged with tension. Thousands of bandits were marching towards the Hall of Righteousness, and he was a little scared.
Wen Yuxia quickly put the letter back into the hidden compartment and tried to push it in with her hand, but the compartment wouldn't budge. Since manual operation wasn't working, she had to use a switch. Wen Yuxia anxiously looked at Xia Yichen: "Quick, press the switch!"
Xia Yichen turned to Wen Yunhong and said simply, "Press the switch."
Wen Yunhong lunged directly at the small protrusion on the wall. With a "snap," the hidden compartment instantly merged with the wall. Wen Yuxia, ignoring her amazement at the ancient people's ingenuity, grabbed Xia Yichen with one hand and Wen Yunhong with the other, and they slipped into the space.
Then, before the bandits entered the Hall of Righteousness, he quickly leaped out of the window, his toes barely touching the ground before he flashed into the spatial dimension.
Xia Yichen, who was pulled into the villa before he even put on his blindfold, looked at the photo frames on the coffee table and asked in shock, "Hong'er, who painted your sister's portrait?"
The facial features and expressions are so lifelike, and the colors are so natural. As a painting enthusiast, Xia Yichen really wants to meet the painter who painted Wen Yuxia's portrait.
Wen Yunhong grinned and took out a photo album from the coffee table drawer, saying proudly, "These aren't paintings, they're photos taken with a camera. I have one too; this album is full of my pictures."
Wen Yunhong handed the photo album to Xia Yichen, secretly pleased with himself, thinking that finally someone would be there to admire his photos with him.
When Wen Yuxia returned to the living room, she saw two idiots: one standing by the coffee table grinning foolishly, and the other sitting on the sofa staring blankly at a photo album.
Wen Yuxia exclaimed in surprise, "My God, why aren't you wearing an eye mask?"
Xia Yichen looked up innocently and slowly said, "I wasn't ready before you dragged me in!" Inwardly, however, he was extremely relieved that he wasn't blindfolded, giving him the chance to see photos that looked exactly like the real person.
Wen Yuxia smiled sincerely: "You are my sworn brother, and Hong'er is my own brother. I've thought it over, and I should share my secret with you."
Having successfully returned to the valley after leaving Wuhu Village, Wen Yuxia and the others had just lay down on a pile of grass and closed their eyes when they were awakened by a loud gong banging.
Along with the sound of gongs came rough shouts: "Get up! Get up!"
