"Master moved! He's coming out!" Wang Bao trembled uncontrollably.
Everyone followed Wang Bao's pointing finger and looked toward the sedan. It was sitting steadily on the ground, motionless. Its curtains were drawn tightly, just as they had been when they set out.
It was still dark all around them. Jiang Cheng, Luo Tianhe, and the others were all right after hearing Wang Bao's words, but the remaining bearers were panicking. Though no one said it outright, everyone understood that there was no way they would carry the sedan until they figured out what was going on.
With no other choice, the Second Young Master looked pleadingly at Jiang Cheng and the others. "Masters, I'm sorry you had to see that. I never expected the servants in my household to be so useless, but we're short on time. I hope you'll..." He paused, then added, "I'm only asking you to carry the sedan a short distance. Once the servants see that nothing is wrong with it, they can carry it the rest of the way."
There was no way they could refuse such a request, so everyone reluctantly agreed.
Yao Shunyu and Li Bai took their places at the front and back and lifted together, but then something strange happened: the sedan only rocked slightly and didn't rise off the ground.
"What's going on?"
Next, the Fatty and Ding Zhenzong took over, but this time the sedan only lifted a little before crashing heavily back onto the ground with a thud.
Everyone panicked. They all knew how heavy a corpse was, but how could two men with such strong builds fail to lift it? The Fatty was panting with exhaustion, and his eyes were filled with fear as he stared at the sedan.
There was definitely something wrong with it.
