THE FIERCE FARM GIRL HAS A SECRET SPACE

Chapter 1499: Chapter 1499: Keenness (5) Ji Bin's neck was brushed by the snake's flickering tongue, causing him to feel numb all over, and he trembled as he walked: "Oh dear, can you make it stop touching me? My legs are going weak..." Yang Ruxin blew a whistle. Xiaolun then coiled around Ji Bin's arm. Though it was still terrifying, it was much better than having the snake's fangs constantly aimed at his neck. They hadn't walked far from the yard when they encountered the patrolling Yuan soldiers, but no one came to interrogate them.

It seemed that these two held some esteem in that yard, so both of them managed to reach the front courtyard quite smoothly. However, the front courtyard was now very lively, with people all gathered around, even holding lanterns and torches, shouting loudly together. The reason was that a large black wolf-dog was in a standoff with Xiaobai. "That tallest one over there is Alatan," Ji Bin said, nudging his chin toward the crowd of onlookers. Yang Ruxin looked over, and indeed, Alatan seemed to be over one hundred ninety centimeters tall.

More importantly, he had a stout build, probably weighing at least two hundred kilograms, his muscles bulging, clearly a fierce character. But suddenly Alatan turned his sharp gaze towards them. Yang Ruxin's mouth curled slightly, this man was surprisingly alert, and evidently not one of simple mind. However, Alatan only glanced briefly before turning his attention back to his wolf-dog, issuing an attack command.

Xiaobai had actually already caught the scent of Yang Ruxin, but after seeing the ugly mask, it disdainfully turned away and then looked at the creature in front of it, which was even bigger than itself, with a scornful expression. Although the black wolf-dog was intelligent, it was still a dog and couldn't match Xiaobai's intellect. Thus, upon receiving its master's command, it charged forward with a howl. Xiaobai agilely dodged the fierce pounce, then turned and growled back. The black wolf-dog became even more furious since no man or beast had ever avoided its ferocious pounce before.

It bared its teeth and mounted another attack. The surrounding Yuan soldiers grew more excited, shouting loudly, speaking in the language of Yuan Country, probably something like "Go fight," and "bite the opponent to death." "Let's go, to the study," said Yang Ruxin, nudging Ji Bin. She didn't need to watch the fight between Xiaobai and the wolf-dog; she already knew the outcome. But once the dog died, Xiaobai would be in danger too, so she needed to clear out those treasures quickly and rescue the people.

The reason for choosing the silver first was due to its location; the woodshed was in the back courtyard, making it convenient to escape with people later, otherwise, there'd be no time to grab the silver with people in tow. Gu Qingheng was not seen in the front courtyard earlier, so he probably went to look for useful things as well. The study had been searched by the Yuan after Ji Lin was captured, but since they found nothing of value, it was abandoned. So when Yang Ruxin entered, she saw furniture knocked over and shards of a teacup on the floor.

Ji Bin closed the door behind them, then lit the Fire Starter, looked around briefly, then pushed aside a Duobao Pavilion against the wall. He then lifted up a floor tile, revealing a switch underneath for the basement, which he pressed lightly, and with a click, the desk beside it rotated, revealing an entrance to an underground tunnel.
