"Then you open the door in about a quarter of an hour, and I'll bring you something to eat." Shen Yan'er said. There's only so much she can do for Blackie.

Blackie nodded, loyal and honest like a dutiful watchdog - no pejorative. Letting him watch the door here suddenly felt like he had found his vocation - no pejorative.

In this way, Shen Yan'er, Ah Zhen and Xiao Qing returned to the secret room, while Xiao Hei stayed outside. After a while, the stone door closed again. But this time, Shen Yan'er and the others were not nervous at all, cooking and cooking, bathing and bathing, and washing clothes.

Shen Yan'er asked Xiaoqing to change into her own clothes. Since he wants to pretend to be Wei Shixuan, Xiaoqing's beggar-like men's clothes will definitely not work. If it weren't for the long distance and danger, she would have returned to the cellar to take off Wei Shixuan's clothes and put them on Xiaoqing.

About a quarter of an hour later, a fragrant steamed fish is freshly baked.

Shen Yan'er took the tender part of the thorn and put it on the plate and brought it to Xiao Hei. However, no matter how much she knocked on the door, she never heard a response from Xiao Hei.

Shen Yan'er had an ominous premonition, and increased the intensity of the knock on the door, attracting Xiaoqing and Ah Zhen over. Everyone knocked and shouted together, but something terrible happened, and there was still silence behind the door, and no sound was heard......

"Ah Zhen, can you hear us when you're outside?" Shen Yan'er asked in a panic.

Ah Zhen shook her head and said, "I don't know if I'm too scared or the stone door is too thick, as soon as I go out, I immediately turned on the switch and reopened the door, and I didn't hear your voice." ”

"Immediately?" Shen Yan'er was skeptical of this word. When Ah Zhen squeezed out of the crack in the door at the last moment, she was at least more than ten meters away from the door. After she ran behind the door out of breath, it took some time for the stone door to open again. Although the time is not too long, it is by no means the "immediate" in Ah Zhen's mouth.

Shen Yan'er felt a little weird, but she couldn't tell what was going on.

"In that case, let's wait quietly. Hei knew we were cooking, and when the time was up, he would open the door himself. ”

Ah Zhen and Xiao Qing both nodded, there was no other way. The three of them did not dare to go far, so they sat behind the stone gate and ate the fish. But until they swept away the bottom of the plate, Xiao Hei still didn't open the door.

"He's not leaving, is he?" Xiaoqing asked timidly. She was not afraid of heaven and earth, and for the first time, she showed a look of fear and anxiety. Under her influence, Ah Zhen's expression instantly became solemn, as if the sky had fallen.

"Impossible." Shen Yan'er believed that Xiao Hei would not abandon them, and besides, he had no reason to leave at all. You must know that on the first day of entering the mass grave, Xiao Hei saw Shen Yan'er and Ah Zhen fall into the trap, and he jumped down with them. In order to save Shen Yan'er and Ah Zhen, he was caught in the stone gate and injured his foot. In this way, it is impossible for him to leave quietly like this, regardless of their lives and deaths.

The three of them lay behind the door and roared and slapped wildly, but the other side was still quiet and unresponsive.

Looking at the plate of fish and meat left for Xiao Hei on the ground, Shen Yan'er became more and more worried.

Isn't Xiao Hei hungry? Why didn't he open the door? What's really going on out there? Shen Yan'er was cranky, unable to calm down, and was in a hurry.

Xiaoqing, who is good at making tunnels, even took out all the shovels and wanted to climb out of the tunnel under the stone gate. However, the floor in the secret room was not soft soil, but hard stone slabs, and Xiaoqing had just tried it twice, and realized that this method would not work, so he threw down the shovel and gave up.

The three of them waited or waited, but the quiet stone door never showed signs of opening.

After a long, long time, sleepiness hit, and the three of them snuggled together and fell asleep in a daze. Shen Yan'er was anxiously banging on the door in her dreams, screaming hysterically "Little Hei Xiao Hei", she was awakened by herself countless times, and she never slept well. Looking at Xiaoqing and Ah Zhen who were sleeping next to them, they both had anxious and frightened looks on their faces, as if they had fallen into some terrible nightmare.

It's probably midnight, isn't it? Shen Yan'er sat on the ground in a daze. In this place where there is no sun in sight and no one is watching, you can only judge the time by instinct.

That's when the unthinkable happened.

The stone gate, which had been standing still, actually made a violent noise, and Xiaoqing and Ah Zhen, who were asleep, woke up instantly.

Seeing that the stone gate was slowly opening, everyone's drowsiness was swept away, and they got up from the ground and hid in a place where the stone gate could not touch.

After a while, Xiao Hei's figure appeared behind the open stone door.

"Why are you only opening the door now?" Shen Yan'er couldn't help but raise her voice and shouted loudly. I thought something had happened to Xiao Hei, but Xiao Hei was unscathed, and his expression was indifferent and calm, exactly the same as before the stone gate was closed, nothing happened.

Xiao Hei couldn't help but show a look of surprise when he saw Shen Yan'er so excited. Look at Xiaoqing and Ah Zhen again, they all seem to have just escaped death, one is worshipping the Bodhisattva thanks, and the other is wiping tears and crying with joy.

He looked back and forth at the three of them, his eyes full of confusion. Without waiting for Shen Yan'er to grab him and ask long and short questions, he took the initiative to speak, and the question was: "Is there anything to eat?" ”

After a long and terrifying reunion, what she was waiting for was actually this sentence, Shen Yan'er suddenly felt that her legs were weak, and she almost sat on the ground.

Xiao Qing, who couldn't bear it, roared angrily: "It's almost rancid!" How do you estimate the time, and is there any common sense at all! Didn't you say that the door would open in a quarter of an hour! How many hours has it been? I thought you were dead! Xiaoqing jumped like thunder and broke out completely.

"Is it that long?" Xiao Hei tilted his head and looked at Xiao Qing blankly.

"Of course it's been so long, we've all slept once!" Xiaoqing was furious and waved her fists. Xiao Hei's calm appearance undoubtedly added fuel to the fire.

Although it was not a long time, the three people who were locked up in the secret room all tasted despair, and even prepared for the worst, but Xiao Hei looked inexplicable and didn't know what was wrong, how could he teach Xiao Qing not to be angry.

"Don't you know that boiling fish is fast! Don't you know to open the door early! ”

"It's going to be soon......" Blackie argued weakly. Xiaoqing was so angry that his cheeks were red and he was trembling, and his innocent appearance didn't seem to be pretending.

"Wait." Shen Yan'er suddenly interrupted their meaningless argument, realizing that something was wrong with the situation, and muttered thoughtfully, "Maybe it's not his problem, but ours......"
