When a glimmer of hope suddenly appeared in Ji Jing's dead heart, her impulse can be imagined.

Xu Zhenguo saw that the situation was wrong, and immediately hugged Ji Jing's already weak body from behind, and persuaded: "Don't be impulsive. It seems that someone has leaned on the inside of this door with some hardware things. If you hit the door like this, it will cause the contents to move violently, and you may injure Nini. ”

In fact, Ji Jing didn't have much strength anymore, she hit alone a few times just now, but she just loosened the door a little.

"Mr. Xu, what do you say, you must save my daughter..."

Xu Zhenguo thought for a moment, and then said: "Let's work together leisurely, let the things inside move slowly, and strive to make this door flash a crack." ”

Ji Jing barely cheered up and nodded slightly.

Xu Zhenguo then squeezed his body tightly against the door, and Ji Jing leaned his delicate body against Xu Zhenguo, and the two of them coordinated to work hard towards the door. At this time, Xinxin also leaned her small body on the other side of Xu Zhenguo's body, and at the same time used her strength to breastfeed.

Xu Zhenguo felt that Ji Jing's body had collapsed, and he barely had much strength. Not to mention Shin Shin. He had to rely more on his whole strength. I saw him prop his feet on the ground, tilt his body almost into a sixty-degree angle, and hug the door in...

Squeak and twist!

Xu Zhenguo felt that the thing leaning against the door inside was slowly retreating under his own momentum, and there was a strong friction with the ground.

When Xu Zhenguo pushed the door open a gap of nearly a foot, he really couldn't let the door continue to move. He knew that he couldn't get into it with his size, so he mobilized Xinxin beside him and said, "Xinxin, you go in quickly and move the things inside." ”

Xu Zhenguo was already drenched in sweat at this time. The same is true for Ji Jing. They were both out of breath and didn't have the strength to move the door for half a minute. Xu Zhenguo had to beg Xinxin to go first.

Although Xinxin was timid, when she knew that Nini's sister might be inside, she still mustered up the courage and squeezed her small body into the crack in the door.

She is already a ten-year-old child, and she also has some physical strength, so under Xu Zhenguo's prompting, she moved a table leaning against the door and moved it hard...

Xu Zhenguo felt that the door was loose, and he was immediately happy, and hurriedly continued to expand the crack in the door...

When he was able to get in, he removed the table that was leaning against the door completely, and left the door completely open.

"Nini!" Xu Zhenguo and Ji Jing, who came in later, shouted at the same time.

By the light of the outhouse, Nini was seen lying on the ground, with her hands tied, not knowing whether she was dead or alive.

Xu Zhenguo's movements were relatively quick, and he took the first step, picked Nini up from the cold ground, and probed Nini's nostrils with his hand, and there was actually a faint breath.

"Nini's mother, Nini is still alive!" Xu Zhenguo shouted excitedly.

Ji Jing was stunned for a moment, and he didn't know where to burst out of strength, and immediately fought for his daughter from Xu Zhenguo's arms: "Nini, how are you?" Wake up! ”

Xu Zhenguo had no choice but to give Nini to Ji Jing. He looked around the chamber, and although the light from outside the door was shining in, it was still dark. His eyes suddenly caught a glimpse of a wax table in the room, and a lighter next to it, so he went over and lit the lighter, and then lit the ash on the wax table. The room finally lit up a little more.

Xu Zhenguo looked at it again and found that in addition to the table case leaning against the door, there were several tables in this secret room. And there are also some incense burners and tablets. Xu Zhenguo carefully observed one of the tablets and immediately understood. The tablet is engraved with the name of one of his ancestors. It turned out that these tablets were the ancestors of his Xu family.

It turned out that the Xu family was a famous family in the early years. Xu Zhenguo's ancestors had several generations of local officials in the Qing Dynasty. Until Xu Zhenguo's great-grandfather, with the fall of the Manchu Dynasty. The Xu family also began to break away from officialdom to do business.

The Jin merchants who went to the west exit back then also had the footprints of the ancestors of the Xu family. And this luxurious mansion is the embodiment of the struggle of the ancestors of the Xu family.

At that time, the Xu family also had an ancestral hall. These tablets were originally intended for use in the ancestral hall. Later, however, the Japanese army marched into Shanxi, where there was a fight. Although the Xu family's mansion survived, the Xu family's ancestral hall was unfortunately hit by a cannonball. Xu Zhenguo's grandfather had no choice but to invite the tablets of these ancestors back to the Xu family compound.

Later, I experienced ****. Under the wave of breaking the four olds, Xu Zhenguo's grandfather collected all the calligraphy, paintings and artworks displayed in the family in this secret room before his family was kicked out of the Xu family compound, and kept his family tight-lipped about it. Even Xu Zhenguo's mother, Zhou Yun, didn't know that there was this secret room at home.

Xu Zhenguo completely understood at this time, and hurriedly knelt down to those tablets, and kowtowed: "Thank you to the ancestors of the Xu family for blessing Nini from death!" ”

Ji Jing threw herself on her daughter at this time, she sat on the ground, hugged her daughter tightly in her arms, and kept crying: "Nini, Nini, you wake up soon, Mom has come to see you..."

After Xu Zhenguo worshiped his ancestors, he immediately returned to Ji Jing's side. He felt that the air in the room would be suffocating. The door was wide open, but the air was still dreary. He took a closer look at Nini's body. She was found to have bruises on her head and body. Because she was wearing only a dress she had bought, not even shoes. So you can see the scars on the arms and legs, and the hands are tightly tied. It seems that she was once severely beaten by a thin woman.

Xu Zhenguo persuaded Ji Jing at this time: "You quickly hand over Nini to me." I picked her up and got out of the place quickly so that she could get some fresh air outside. Perhaps her coma was suffocated by the lack of oxygen here. ”

Ji Jing felt that it made sense, so she quickly asked Xu Zhenguo to pick Nini up from her arms.

Xu Zhenguo didn't stop for a moment, and immediately walked out of the secret room with Nini in his arms...

But when he walked outside, he couldn't help but be stunned, and the thin woman who had passed out just now suddenly disappeared.

Xu Zhenguo was worried that the thin woman who escaped would block the entrance to the cave, so he hurriedly strode up the steps and rushed to the storage room above.

The slender woman was still nowhere to be seen. At this time, Xu Zhenguo couldn't take care of the woman anymore, so he quickly carried Nini into the living room on the first floor and put her on the sofa. He first untied the rope that bound Nini's arms, then fed Nini a sip of water with the water cup on the coffee table, and then pinched Nini's middle with his thumb, and called out: "Nini, wake up!" ”

After a while, Nini finally opened her eyes, and when she found herself falling into Xu Zhenguo's arms, she couldn't help but say in a weak voice: "Brother Xu, I'm dead?"

"Silly boy, you're alive and well. It's scaring us to death! Xu Zhenguo cried with joy.

That night, after Nini was knocked unconscious by the skinny woman, the skinny woman hated Nini so much that she slapped Nini several times with the rolling pin until she was bruised all over her body.

The thin woman felt relieved, so she dragged Nini out of Xu Zhenguo's study. She had already figured out where to deal with Nini. So he put Nini's body on his shoulders and walked all the way to the storage room...

When the slender woman finally got the unconscious Nini into the secret room where the Xu family's tablet was placed, she suddenly felt that Nini was still breathing. With a movement in her heart, she lit the candle in the secret room. With the help of the candle light, she found a rope to tie Nini up first, and tried to wake Nini up.

Her intention was to torture Nini first, understand Nini's back and details, and then poison her. After all, the disappearance of such a big living person as Nini from this home will cause unpredictable trouble.

Maybe Nini is too badly injured, and the thin woman can't revive Nini by all means. She was worried that the situation above would change, so she left Nini first and walked up...

When she returned to the living room, she put some antique artwork from the living room decoration shelves into a purse. Then he ran up to the second floor and packed all Nini's belongings.

When she takes Nini's belongings and antiques to the underground vault, she suddenly finds that the door to the inner chamber is closed. She was shocked, so she went up and pushed, but she didn't move. It turned out that the door had been blocked by the contents inside.

It turned out that Nini had suffered a severe concussion in her head because of the heavy blow from a thin woman, and it was not easy to wake up. But after being beaten by a sharp and thin woman, she tossed her body, and the sharp pain in her body woke her up stiffly.

However, by this time, the slender woman had already tied her up. Her mind turned quickly, and she had already guessed the other party's intentions, so she simply closed her eyes and pretended to be unconscious, wanting to act at the opportunity. She really deceived the thin woman with this trick.

When the slender woman left, she immediately opened her eyes and quickly took in the situation. Only then did she realize that she had been dragged into a basement-like place by the woman.

She wanted to run, but she was covered in bruises and couldn't run. Because his arms were tied again, he couldn't hide in the dark and sneak attack the thin woman.

Seeing the time pass quickly, she didn't know why the thin woman left suddenly, but she knew in her heart that the vicious woman would return soon. If he falls into her hands again, he will never be spared.

She is really a very smart girl, and in a hurry, she finally came up with a solution. Although her arms are tied, her legs are still free. She closed the door with her foot, and when she saw that there was no latch in it, she simply hooked one of the tables in the chamber with her foot. With her feet together, she gradually flipped the table over to the door, and leaned against it.

When the thin woman came over and pushed the door, she was afraid that the table would not be able to stop the thrust of the thin woman, so she simply leaned her body on it. As a result, the slender woman had nothing to do.

The thin woman was very remorseful at this time, because she was a little careless and gave Nini a chance to live. But she thought about it again. This is a place that only you know. As long as the girl in the door can't get out, she won't last long, even if she doesn't die of hunger and thirst, she has to be suffocated inside.

She laughed loudly and said, "You have a kind of stinky girl." But lock this door right now, and you'll see yourself trapped inside. ”

When she said that, she locked the door from the outside with the big lock.

When she walked up, she couldn't help but say proudly: "Hmph, that's fine, instead of letting that girl die of a headache, it's better to make her despair and slowly torture to death!" ”

After Nini waited for the thin woman to leave, she couldn't support it anymore. Her legs went limp, and she immediately fell from the table she was leaning on to the ground.

After a moment of respite, she found that this secret room had only one door, and it did not allow any light, and I was afraid that after a long time, the oxygen here would be depleted. She struggled to her feet again, walked over and blew out the candle. Her intention was obvious, to prevent the candle from competing with her for oxygen.

However, as soon as the candle was blown out, the whole chamber was pitch black. She was tied to the table leaning against the door, silently waiting for rescue.

She didn't know that the skinny woman had already figured out the reason for her disappearance. But she thought that Brother Xu liked herself so much, and he would never sit idly by and ignore his disappearance. He will definitely find himself and save himself out. It was this belief that made her persist in this dark and impermeable secret room for two nights a day...

Nini smiled with relief: "I... I finally looked forward to...

Xu Zhenguo had mixed feelings at this time, and couldn't help but feel guilty: "Nini, I blame me for not protecting you well... ”

"Mommy..." Nini rolled her eyes up and fell unconscious again.

"Nini!" Xu Zhenguo shouted again.

But Nini didn't react. Xu Zhenguo had to put Nini down first. He knew that Nini had to go to the hospital because of Nini's situation. However, I don't know where my phone has fallen. He dialed 120 from the landline in the living room...

After he contacted the ambulance, he found that Ji Jing and Xinxin had never followed.

He couldn't help but be surprised, and immediately followed the path back to the secret room to find ...

However, when he walked all the way to the secret room, he didn't greet Ji Jing and Xinxin. He suddenly panicked, didn't Chen Juan run away, but hid in the shadows, and took the opportunity to poison Nini's mother and Xinxin?

As he approached the hole in the floor of the storage room, he suddenly heard Shin Shin's cry coming from under the steps: "Auntie, Auntie, Wake up..." )
