Greedy Baby and Scheming Mother - C443
Chapter 443 – Unexpected encounters (2)
A sudden flash of light, although not too far away, still had a one-meter visibility.
With the light shining down, Ah Mu could finally relax. He started to walk down the path that he had come from. That place was tightly sealed, and it seemed like it would be very difficult to leave this place.
Below his feet was a path. Although it was covered in dust, this path was definitely carved by someone. If he continued along this path, he might be able to find a way out.
After making up his mind, Ah Mu took the Night Pearl and walked further and further down the corridor.
The direction of this path seemed to be bringing him deep into the Mount Kunlun.
The inside was different from the hot air outside. On the contrary, the air here was abnormally moist and full of moisture. The wind that blew against one’s face brought with it a dense vapor.
Ah Mu predicted that there would be water in front.
Sure enough, after walking for about two hours, water droplets seeped out from the cracks in the rocks. Drop by drop, it fell to the ground, and the mountain was shaped like a stalactite.
Ah Mu was tired and thirsty, he raised his head and swallowed some water to moisten his throat, the water was unexpectedly sweet.
After resting for a while, he continued moving forward. As the underground became increasingly quiet, a faint sound could be heard from far away.
There was a sound, rustling, as if something was dragging on the ground.
Ah Mu felt all the pores on his body open, his hair standing on end. Fear seeped into every inch of skin. Even his hand that was holding the Night Pearl was trembling uncontrollably.
Mummy had said that there was no need to be afraid. Any element of fear, as long as you can find the source of it, can suppress the fear in your heart.
Ah Mu comforted himself as he approached her.
The closer they got, the clearer the sounds of fear became.
The sound was like iron chains brushing against the ground, but it was also like the sound of grinding stone.
Ah Mu’s face was somewhat pale, and his body was practically sticking to the stone wall as he moved forward. Inside, a faint light could be seen. Ah Mu kept his Night Pearl properly.
There was a sigh, but surprisingly, this voice sounded somewhat familiar.
Ah Mu blinked his eyes. This feeling was a little strange.
He sped up his pace while hiding his body.
The exit became even brighter. It was as if there was an even larger space there. The bright lights cast a shadow of one of the figures onto the stone wall.
Ah Mu looked at the silhouette on the stone wall in a daze for a while.
What he could be sure of was that there was only one person there, and that person’s back was still someone he was familiar with.
“Master …” “Elder?” Ah Mu tried shouting.
The figure paused, then moved.
Ah Mu walked out, and in the next moment, he looked at the slightly hunched back of the young man. “Grandfather!”
Ah Mu shouted and immediately ran over, his eyes slightly red, he fiercely pounced over. Who put you here? Mummy is looking for you everywhere. “Grandpa …”
That person was actually the foster father that Mu Wanjun had been searching for for for a long time — — Old lunatic.
Countless people were searching for him everywhere, but he was locked up here.
Old lunatic’s messy hair almost covered his face, when he heard Ah Mu’s voice, he immediately reached out to push away the messy hair that covered his eyes, and carefully examined this Kids in front of him.
It was very familiar, but he couldn’t be sure.
When he left with his mind unclear, Ah Mu was only six years old. Now, after so many years, Ah Mu had grown taller.
The old lunatic still endured him, just that he was surprised that he would appear here.
“Ah Mu! My good grandson! ” He carried Ah Mu in his arms.
Back then, the reason the old lunatic saved Mu Wanjun was also because he saw the infant Little Ah Mu. At that time, Ah Mu was still a baby, but she would smile towards the old lunatic.
All these years, the old lunatic had gone mad, he did not know anyone but he only knew Ah Mu.
Just as Ah Mu was about to pull the old lunatic away, he realized that the old lunatic’s waist was tied up with a gigantic chain. The other end of the chain was placed on the stone wall, leaving a certain distance behind, allowing the old lunatic to move about here.
On the other side, there was a pile of simple food.
It seemed like these old lunatic s were all locked up here.
Ah Mu’s question however, got the old lunatic stunned. It was clear that she did not even know who it was that imprisoned his here. Or sometimes he remembered, but sometimes he forgot.
He was originally such a muddle-headed person to begin with. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been gifted with the nickname “Old lunatic”, to the point where he had even forgotten his own name.
Being reminded by Ah Mu, his eyes seemed to regain a trace of clarity. He looked down at the chain at his waist and shook it. He tilted his head and looked at it.
This iron lock was extremely thick, it was obvious that the person who imprisoned the old lunatic was very meticulous. He also knew the capabilities of the old lunatic and that was why he specially forged this kind of iron chain made of pure gold.
There was no way for him to escape.
Or perhaps, the old lunatic who had fallen into a daze simply could not think of escaping.
The old lunatic tried to use his inner force to try and see if the Gold Chain could break apart even though it was slightly deformed.
Ah Mu also frowned.
“Grandfather, try again.” On one side, Ah Mu let the old lunatic try, and on the other side, he followed the chain to the end of the stone wall to look. Seeing that the old lunatic was still unable to break free, he ordered the old lunatic to use all his might to smash apart the stone wall.
With Ah Mu by his side, the old lunatic was clearly much more clear-headed. He punched the stone wall fiercely, but when he punched, the entire mountain trembled.
Ah Mu coughed a few times, but realized that the stone wall had been smashed into holes by the Old lunatic’s fist. He stretched out his hand to brush away the stones on the wall, but he was surprised to find out that they were all made of pure gold!
The entire cave was made of this type of pure gold.
It was to prevent the old lunatic from having the chance to escape.
Seeing this situation, Ah Mu’s face changed. Who did this, to be so ruthless!
The old lunatic frowned.
Ah Mu looked around again, only to realize that this place seemed to be sealed up. However, he was hidden by the stone wall, and found a door. He pushed the door, but it didn’t budge. It seemed to be open only from the outside.
But to get out, he had to get rid of the chain on Old lunatic’s body.
At this time, the old lunatic’s heart sank. He said to Ah Mu, “Someone’s coming! “Hurry and hide.”
