On her wedding night, she went into exile with her pharmacy arsenal

Chapter 2012 You can’t

There is a slight "click" sound.

The sound was very soft, but it was particularly harsh in the quiet yard.

Yan Ruyu immediately stopped and turned back, her eyes fixed on Mu Wan.

Mu Wan's face turned pale, his eyes were filled with fear, and his body swayed as if he was about to fall down at any moment.

Looking down, she saw a round stone embedded at her feet, half of it exposed, with fuzzy patterns carved on the edge. It was obviously not an ordinary gravel.

Is it a secret room switch or a hidden weapon mechanism?

Mu Wan noticed everyone's gaze and subconsciously wanted to move his feet away.

Yan Ruyu's voice sounded immediately, with an unquestionable calmness: "Don't move."

If it was a switch in a secret room, it would be fine, but if there was a hidden weapon, something could happen if it moved.

Yinding took half a step forward and volunteered, "Let me take a look. I've seen a similar mechanism with my father before." As he said that, he was about to step forward.

"Let me do it, you can't do it." Su Shengsheng's voice suddenly rang out, her little face was tense, and she reached out to stop the silver ingot first.

Yinding was stunned where he was, his face full of confusion: "???"

He pointed at his nose and asked, "Why can't I do it?"

Su Shengsheng didn't look at him, his eyes fixed on the stone. He spoke slowly but clearly, "There are grooves on the edge of this stone. It looks like a mechanism. If you go up there rashly, what if you trigger other hidden buttons?"

Yan Ruyu also nodded and agreed, "Mu Wan, is there any movement of the stone under your feet?"

Mu Wan bit her lower lip, feeling it carefully for a moment, and then whispered back, "No... I just felt it was hard when I stepped on it, no other movement."

Her voice was still trembling, but her hands were still tightly holding Su Shengsheng's sleeves, as if she was grabbing a life-saving straw.

Su Shengsheng patted her hand soothingly, and then said to Yinding, "Go to the left wing and see if there are any clues, such as the murals on the wall or the cracks in the bricks on the ground. There might be markings corresponding to the mechanism."

Although Yinding was still a little unconvinced, when he saw Yan Ruyu nodded to him, he could only mutter and turn around: "Let's go."

Su Shengsheng's eyes never left the stone under Mu Wan's feet.

She squatted down, moved as quietly as possible, and looked carefully at the texture of the stone.

After a while, Su Shengsheng's eyes lit up. He looked around along the position of the stone and found that the blue bricks on the ground were arranged in a certain pattern.

"Try to slowly move your foot half an inch to the southeast. Be gentle and don't use too much force."

Mu Wan gritted her teeth and moved carefully half an inch as she said.

The stone under his feet indeed moved, making a slight "click" sound, but no hidden weapon was shot out.

Su Shengsheng breathed a sigh of relief. Just as he was about to speak, he saw Yinding open the window of the wing room: "Come and see! There are pictures on the wall! Pictures of stones and arrows!"

Su Shengsheng immediately stood up and said, "Let's go."

Yan Ruyu walked quickly towards the left wing. Su Shengsheng held Mu Wan's arm and said softly, "Take your time. Follow my strength and don't touch other places."

Mu Wan nodded and, with Su Shengsheng's help, slowly lifted her foot off the stone. As soon as she left, the stone snapped back into the ground, revealing a small circular hole where it had been embedded.

"Fortunately it's the switch." Su Shengsheng breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Mu Wan finally felt relieved. Her legs went weak and she almost fell, but Su Shengsheng held her steady. She looked at Su Shengsheng gratefully and said, "Thank you. You scared me to death just now."

"I'm glad you're okay." Su Shengsheng smiled, and the tension in his eyes finally dissipated a little. "Let's go see what he found."

As the two of them reached the door of the left wing, they saw Yin Ding saying to Yan Ruyu, "There are three stones painted on this painting. They are at the door of the main house, under the window of the left wing, and in the corner of the right wing. The arrows are all pointing to the main house!"

Yan Ruyu was standing in front of the mural, her fingers lightly brushing across the wall. "These should be the three mechanisms to open the secret room. They need to be pressed simultaneously."

Yin Ding immediately said, "I'll go press the mechanism in the right wing!"

Yan Ruyu didn't object, but just reminded: "Be careful, check if there is anything abnormal before pressing."

Yinding patted his chest and assured: "Yes!"

Yan Ruyu looked at Su Shengsheng and Mu Wan and said softly, "I'll go look for the mechanism under the window of the left wing. Shengsheng, please help me with the mechanism at the main door."

"No problem." Su Shengsheng nodded in agreement, and then said to Mu Wan, "Wait at the door. Don't go near the wing room. That way you can hide if there's any danger."

Mu Wan nodded quickly: "I understand, you guys should be careful too."

A moment later, Yinding's voice came from the right wing: "Found it! I'm ready!"

"The one in the left wing has also been found." Yan Ruyu's voice followed closely.

Su Shengsheng walked to the main door, looked at the round hole on the ground, and took a deep breath: "I'll count to three, and we'll press it together. One-two-three!"

As she finished speaking, light "click" sounds were heard from three directions simultaneously.

The door of the main house creaked and slowly opened inward, and a long-forgotten smell blew in.

Yin Ding was the first to rush over and peek into the room: "What's in there?"

Su Shengsheng and Yan Ruyu also hurried to catch up. Mu Wan hesitated for a moment, then followed closely behind, still holding the corner of Su Shengsheng's clothes.

The room was dimly lit, and one could vaguely see an eight-person table in the center. Behind the table, on the wall, was the outline of a secret door.

"It seems we have found the right place." Su Shengsheng's voice was delighted.

Yan Ruyu was about to speak when she suddenly realized something was wrong.

She turned around to look at the door, and saw two people in black standing in the originally empty yard, staring at them coldly.

Su Shengsheng also noticed it, and instantly suppressed the excitement on his face. He shouted vigilantly: "Who are you?"

The man in black didn't say anything, but slowly drew the knife from his waist. The blade flashed coldly in the light.

Yan Ruyu immediately stood in front of the three people and said in a deep voice: "Mu Wan, find a place to hide by yourself. Shengsheng, Yinding, come with me to deal with them."

Su Shengsheng immediately pulled Mu Wan behind the Eight Immortals Table and grabbed the copper paperweight on the table. "Here, be careful! If anyone comes over, hit them with this!"

Mu Wan tightly gripped the paperweight, his face turning even paler, but he still whispered, "Be careful too."

Su Shengsheng patted her hands and looked outside.

I saw one of the men in black rushing towards Yan Ruyu, his sword was sharp and his skills were quite good.

Su Shengsheng was not afraid at all. He drew his sword and kicked the wooden bench next to him and smashed it over, blocking the other man in black's attack on the silver ingot.

He didn't even use a knife to get the silver ingot. Just as his fist was about to hit the man in black, he was knocked unconscious by a flying stool.

Silver ingot: "..."
