Dazed and confused, I arrived at Su Ping's home. After arriving at the door of Su Ping's house, I carefully opened the door and sneaked in quietly.
When I slipped in, Su Ping was sitting on a rattan chair at home fanning herself with a fan. Seeing me coming, Su Ping smiled lightly and said to me: "Come in if you come in, why are you sneaking around like a flower thief?"
She said I was a flower thief, and I replied to her: "If the flower thief met you, wouldn't that be jumping into the net?"
"Don't give me any of your smooth talk. Speak up, what brings you here in broad daylight? Don't tell me you're missing me?"
"Think! How can I not think? It's almost impossible to remember now!"
"Get out!" Su Ping said with a pout.
"Alright, I won't argue with you anymore. What have you been busy with these past two days? Why is it that I rarely see your shadow in the village?" I asked.
"It's not another man coming to the village, is it?! Yesterday afternoon, Witch Grandma came to find me and assigned me a task, asking me to hurry up and pay attention. The new man who arrived, what time he came, what he did at what time, any other actions, I have to record everything. Tonight at 8 o'clock, I'll go to her place and report clearly to my contact person, only then can I complete the initial task she assigned to me. Just now, I just found some time to come back and rest for a bit."
After listening to Su Ping, I thought about the timing of Witch Grandma's trip to Zuo Mountain Tomb and thought to myself: indeed, this Witch Grandma is a cunning old fox. She used the sensitive period when the new man just arrived in the village to hold Su Ping back, and yesterday afternoon she probably also said some words to hold back the women in the village, most likely telling them not to wander around, preparing to welcome the new man and such. Only then did she feel at ease going to Zuo Mountain Tomb to open the secret passage. Although I don't know if my analysis is correct or not, at least that's what I think now.
After hearing Su Ping's words, I said to her straightforwardly: "I think I know where the witch's backyard is!"
"What?!"
As soon as I finished speaking, Su Ping directly threw away the fan in her hand and quickly walked to my front, grabbing my shoulder excitedly and saying: "What did you say? Say it again?"
"My goodness! Look how excited you are. I think I've figured out where that backyard of the witch is!"
"Really?!" Su Ping's voice rose another octave.
"Keep your voice down! Do you want others to hear? I rushed to find you because I saw the witch and that man enter what might be the backyard, but I didn't dare get close. After they left, I saw how they got in, but I couldn't do it myself. So now I really need your help, you're clever, you should be able to help me get in. You don't know, what if the witch really did go into that backyard? I'm afraid she might experiment on Han Jingjing with some kind of bug. By then, it'll be too late. That's why I want to get in so badly, if Han Jingjing is really there, I want to see how she's doing!"
As I said that, Su Ping's hand grasped my shoulder even tighter, and she pressed her voice down to ask me: "Where is the old witch's backyard?"
Seeing her like this, I furrowed my brow and said: "I'm telling you, can't you stop pinching my shoulder? How come it feels like you've found the witch's backyard, you're more excited than me?"
As soon as I said that, Su Ping's entire demeanor changed, and her originally excited expression also returned to calmness like the receding tide. After Su Ping put down her hands that were gripping my shoulders, she softly told me
"Sorry about that, I got a bit too excited earlier, mainly because I could feel your excitement."
When I heard Su Ping say this, I smacked my lips and said: "Tsk tsk, you're really something! What's got you so excited? Even a three-year-old wouldn't believe that. You must be after something in the backyard, huh?"
Look at me talking like this. Su Ping smiled and said, "Alright, I won't lie to you either. After all, even if I lied to you, you wouldn't believe me anyway, and it's not worth it. It's better to be honest. Yes, I am looking for that backyard, to get some things. You also know that last time I went to the witch's house, it was to get a certain medicine to save someone. The other medicines are easy to obtain, but there is one medicine that Black Cloak couldn't help me get. However, he told me that this medicine can be easily obtained in the witch's backyard. So when you said you found this backyard, I got so excited."
Listening to Su Ping say this, I narrowed my eyes and looked at her saying: "Is that really all? By the way, who exactly do you want to save? This person you want to save, shouldn't you be quite concerned about them?"
Seeing me ask this way, Su Ping's eyes gazed out of the window and said: "Of course, she is indeed... very important to me!"
Since she said so, I didn't plan to beat around the bush. Then I replied to her: "When you have a chance, I'll take you there."
"It's fine tonight, these new men will go to the village for a walk-in marriage tonight, and I don't have anything to do. After 8 o'clock, I'll go report to the contact person and can leave at any time."
"Alright, then let's meet at the back mountain tomb in the village tonight, I'll be waiting for you there."
"What? Where are we going? To the grave behind the village?" Su Ping seemed as if she hadn't heard clearly.
"That's right! It's going there. If the witch and others enter, it's called the backyard, then the mountain tomb is the place where the backyard is located!"
"Hiding one's private domain in a dead man's graveyard, it's really something only a witch like you could think of. If you hadn't told me today, I would have never thought to look there!" Su Ping said with raised eyebrows, speaking softly to me.
"Alright, no more words, tonight at 10 o'clock, I'll be waiting for you at Zuo Shan Fen!"
"Alright! See you then!"
......
After meeting with Su Ping and talking things through, I left her house and wandered around the village.
At 9:30, I arrived at Zuoshanfen half an hour in advance and hid somewhere to wait for Su Ping. Before ten minutes had passed, Su Ping also came ahead of time.
After seeing her coming, I bumped into her. Looking at the graves all over the mountain, Su Ping still joked with me: "You said we would do it here in the middle of the night, what kind of feeling would it be?"
"You're really bold, don't mess around here and suddenly pop out a ghost head to scare you away." I gave this female rogue a cold glance and retorted.
After I brought Su Ping to Li Changjuan's tomb, I pointed to the stone tablet in front of the tomb and said: "This stone tablet is where the mechanism for entering that secret place is located."
"What? You're saying that the stele of Li Changjuan is where the mechanism to enter the backyard is?" As I conversed with her, I noticed Su Ping glancing at the three characters "Li Changjuan" on the stele several times, and in her eyes seemed to be mixed with some other emotions...
"That's right, it's this stele. By the way, I'll ask you something, do you know Li Changjuan? What great merits did Li Changjuan have in this village?"
"What great virtue? I really don't know, after all when I came to the village, it seemed that Li Changjuan was already seriously ill and died soon after. At that time, I was still young and didn't understand many things about her in the village. If you want to understand her, you can ask Han Feiyan, they entered the village together, she should know more about Li Changjuan than anyone else. What's wrong? Why are you suddenly concerned about this?" Su Ping asked back.
"Oh, under this stone monument, there is a huge stone tortoise. Generally, stone tortoises carry stone monuments because the owner of the monument has made great contributions and merits, which is called 'Ba Xia Dang'. In ancient times, only people with merits or status would have stone tortoises as pedestals for their monuments. That's why I asked if Li Changjuan had done anything meritorious. Anyway, to open the mechanism here, you just need to rotate this monument 180 degrees clockwise, that's what the old witch's husband did. But when I tried it, it seemed like I couldn't do it, I don't know if my strength is too weak or if there's another reason."
"Is it?" Seeing me say that, Su Ping looked at the stone tablet and tried to twist it.
But after all she is a daughter of a family, and her small strength was even more insufficient.
"Or you try it yourself and see." Su Ping said to me.
I nodded and then tried to twist it a bit, but it was completely useless.
We all twisted and didn't move, Su Ping touched her chin, then looked around at the environment, and said to me: "If it's because our strength is too small to twist this stone tablet, I do have a method that can instantly increase our strength by several times."
"What method? So divine? Is it some kind of strength-enhancing pill?" I asked.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Everything must be done scientifically, just do as I say!"
