The girl called out Xiao Wu's name when they parted, and told him that her name was "Kou Yuhuan", a name that sounded good. He didn't rest immediately, but entered the study and wrapped the things on the desk with a large cloth and hid them in the underground secret room, the mechanism in the study at the entrance of the passage had been found by Kou Yuhuan, and now the secret room was the safest place. After doing all this, he hurried back to his yard, found a large bathtub and soaked it for half an hour, and then changed into a new set of clothes before returning to the room he had chosen to rest.

The next day, Xiao Wu, who had recovered his energy, got up first and went to the courtyard to get a basin of cold water and wash his face, and told the servants to prepare early, while he walked into the study with anticipation to take a look first. As soon as he entered the study, he saw Kou Yuhuan sitting at the desk and looking down at the bamboo slips in his hand, and there were already two piles of bamboo slips in front of the desk. The girl changed back to the appearance she had when she first met, with two big braids, and her men's clothes were very neat, and her slender white jade fingers kept turning. Hearing someone entering, he raised his head and looked down again to continue reading. Xiao Wu saw her with thin eyebrows and big eyes, a small mouth with a curled nose, and her face was as white as jade, and she didn't look like a madman yesterday at all.

"Did you wake up so early, did you find something useful?"

"Found some useful information and this you can check out. The girl handed over a tattered yellow cloth and a brocade cloth.

Xiao Wu took the brocade cloth first and looked at it, a first, a second, a third, a fourth...... B-1-B-2... The above is full of numbers and the corresponding work behind, this one turned out to be the servant list of the whole cave house, there are only twenty people in total, and they are all numbered names. No more information was found on the brocade cloth, so Xiao Wu put the brocade cloth aside and picked up another broken cloth to look at, and the words on it were a little complicated. Gu Xiaowu's father is a teacher in the village, and he has followed his father to learn words when he was five years old, but Xiao Wu is not a smart child, and he couldn't recognize all the words when he was ten years old, so he could only learn some basic knowledge under his father's teaching, and his father was bedridden until he finally died in the next few years, and Xiao Wu did not continue to read and write. But he thought that he should be able to recognize at least most of the words, but when he saw the words on the rag, he could only recognize a little bit, but he could only recognize a few words, and the words on it were actually in the ancient font, and he couldn't do anything about it. He wanted to ask the girl, but when he saw that she was looking at a bamboo slip and thinking about something, he didn't dare to disturb her, so he put the rag aside and took out a bamboo slip from a bookshelf and looked at it. This time, Xiao Wu was able to roughly understand it, and it turned out to be a martial arts aspect, and there were some rough drawings engraved on the last few bamboo sticks above. The hut shook his head, put the bamboo slip back in its place, and took the other one and looked at it, so that he kept checking the bamboo slip on one side, and even stopped caring about the breakfast that the servant had sent to the door.

Although Xiao Wu's speed of checking can't catch up with Kou Yuhuan, just to find useful information, as long as he understands the general content of the bamboo slips, he can also roughly check a bamboo slip with a cup of tea. Even so, it took the two of them a whole day to check all the bamboo slips in the study. Xiao Wu put down the bamboo slip in his hand and was stunned at the candle flame on the table, while the girl was eating the snacks sent in the morning one by one. At the end of this day, I didn't find too many useful clues, after Kou Yuhuan's narration, what kind of geographical information was placed in this study, humanities and history, martial arts cheats and messy catalogs, and there was no information about cultivating immortals. The origin of this one-finger peak is understood, originally this was a secret courtyard of a martial arts master, using a rope hanging basket to transport people and materials, used to avoid the enemy, and later after the death of the martial arts master, it became a place for descendants to avoid disasters and hide treasures. The red-clothed ancestor found this place by coincidence and took it down, and the servants here were all young people who were robbed by the red-clothed ancestor using evil methods, and then persecuted into "puppets" who would only obey orders and would not resist.

Kou Yuhuan finished eating the snack in his hand, picked up the rag that was put aside and asked Xiao Wu, "Have you seen this?"

"I don't recognize a few of the words on it, I don't know what it is, and I want to wait for you to finish asking you. Xiao Wu said a little embarrassed.

"The words on this are old and ancient, it's not strange if you don't know it, I can only understand part of the content now, the above is a refining method of an evil elixir, the main material is a child under the age of fifteen, it is to use the drug to cultivate the child into an elixir-like existence, and then combine it with other drugs to refine a pill to improve cultivation and break through the bottleneck. The specific operation and specific functions are a bit complicated, and I can't understand it for a while, but just using children to refine pills is enough for evil. This thing and that brocade cloth I found in a bamboo slip that seemed to be turned over a lot, it seems that the ancestor in red should have seen it often, let me read it to you, maybe there can be some inspiration, it should be related to you. ”

Hearing this, Xiao Wu broke out in a cold sweat and used children to refine medicine, what an evil thing it was, he thought of the reason for coming here again, and thought of the nine children who were robbed, and his heart began to be a little anxious. He is obviously also the raw material of alchemy, but Xin trapped himself in the furnace for the sake of alchemy, but he was lucky not to die inside, but the red-clothed ancestor and Xin outside escaped from the same end for some reason.

"I was also arrested by them more than two months ago, and I was with nine other children, and I don't know what happened to them. Now let's go find them!"

"It's so late now, tomorrow, it's been two months before you think of them, if something happens, it's already late, if it's okay, don't rush in one night, let's explore the yard one by one tomorrow." Kou Yuhuan looked at Xiao Wu with an anxious face, and could only persuade angrily.

Xiao Wu saw that the girl went back to rest, and he also felt that the spirit of the bamboo slips after reading the bamboo slips for a day was a little bad, and he also spent a lot of effort to understand the content of the bamboo slips, and his head kept buzzing, he knew that Kou Yuhuan was right, but he was restless when he thought of those children, and he didn't sleep on the last night. As soon as the sky was bright, Xiao Wu came out and knocked on Kou Yuhuan's door, Kou Yuhuan looked at Gu Xiaowu with red eyes, and could only sigh helplessly, and reluctantly began to explore a few courtyards with him.

The first one to finish the investigation is this study courtyard, this courtyard is supposed to be a place for the red-clothed ancestor to rest and retreat, and it should be discovered, but there is no place in the entire courtyard where there is a place where the prohibition of fluctuations is blocked, and there are no clues to find it. One was a hall courtyard for visitors, Kou Yuhuan said that he had been there before, and the layout there was relatively simple, and he didn't find anything.

The last courtyard was full of places for servants to rest and live, and there was nothing to be found except for the larger ones, but Xiao Wu found that there were two people in it who were delivering food to a place, and that place was a small courtyard next to the servants' courtyard, where there were two servants in red clothes guarding it. Xiao Wu and the two followed the two servants from a distance, and when they arrived at the door, they were stopped by two red-clothed servants, one of the red-clothed servants took out a key and opened the door, and the other servant took the food box and put it in the door and walked out. Xiao Wu and Kou Yuhuan glanced at each other, and both felt that there must be something hidden here, they appeared before the door was closed, Xiao Wu took out the token and ordered them to the two in red to stop guarding this place, the two of them hesitated for a moment, but after looking at the token, they still left.

Xiao Wu pushed open the door and walked in, and found that it was not very big inside, and now there were several children competing for the food in the food box, and they were all wearing yellow and thin faces, and when they saw someone walking in, they were all frightened and ran into the house. Seeing these children, Xiao Wu was sad for a while, but fortunately they were all alive. Xiao Wu immediately picked up the token and went out to tell the servants to prepare more meals and send them over, Kou Yuhuan walked into the house and began to communicate with the children slowly, and when Xiao Wu came back, he saw Kou Yuhuan smiling and talking to the children. The children had calmed their fears, and one of the bold children told them about their experiences these days.
