The next day, after lunch.

The sun was still so big and blindingly white.

Li Yixin was worried that Gu Yan had been pulling Gu Yan's arm and wouldn't let go, so Zhu Wen stood behind Li Yixin, and he was extremely sad when he saw this scene.

"It's okay, Yixin, it's daytime, you go to the eldest sister."

Gu Yan threw Li Yixin's hand away, squatted down and ordered: "You all go away, I'll light the fire."

Li Yixin was reluctant to walk away as if she had something to say, but Sister Yang took her away, and Zhu Wen stayed by Li Yixin's side all the time, without saying a word.

When they were all gone, they knotted the weeds on the ground, lit one and threw them down, and where they were thrown, a fire would ignite, and after throwing four or five of them, they saw that the fire was already burning very big, and turned around and went to the cave.

"How's that, can it be burned?"

Yang Erwa stood at the entrance of the cave, looking at the smoke in the trap and thinking that Gu Yan had not been lit, Gu Yan nodded and walked into the cave and said calmly: "Wait overnight, tomorrow morning we will go to see what is inside, and then decide what to do."

"Gu Yan, I'll go with you tomorrow. Not sure what's in there, if there's really something going on"

Zhu Wen turned her head to look at Li Yixin halfway through her words, and found that she lowered her head and didn't look at herself, and continued with some sadness: "If there is really something, the second baby can take them out"

"I'm going too, no, I'm the guide."

Yang Erwa interrupted Zhu Wen's words anxiously, and said stubbornly: "If I bring you in safely, I have the responsibility to take you out safely!"

Gu Yan didn't speak, Yang Damei and Jin Bell didn't speak, Li Yixin sat there and didn't move, Gu Yan thought about it, nodded and said: "Just me and Wenzi, you are all waiting on it, none of you can act without me talking!"

Seeing Gu Yan's serious appearance, everyone didn't speak, and all of them were silent.

Li Yi wanted to stop it, but he didn't know how to say it.

The next day.

The sun was still very big, just like Yang Damei said, Gu Yan stood in front of the trap, Zhu Wen turned around and tied the rope to the root of the sycamore tree, clapped his hands, and told Gu Yan that he could go down.

Li Yixin came over again, came to Gu Yan's side, and said softly: "Brother Gu Yan, I heard the sound of saws sawing wood again last night."

Gu Yan nodded and didn't speak, Zhu Wen looked at them incomprehensibly, and couldn't tell what feelings he had in his heart.

Zhu Wen watched Li Yixin walk away with his head down before walking to Gu Yan's side.

"Be careful yourselves, and come up as soon as you notice something is wrong." Yang Damei said to Gu Yan and Zhu Wen, Gu Yan nodded and didn't speak, Zhu Wen didn't act, just looked at Li Yixin, who was sitting at the entrance of the cave with his back to them not far away.

Gu Yan watched Sister Yang go away before she was relieved to go down,

"Ping-" The wood knife made a strange sound.

Gu Yan and Zhu Wen glanced at each other, indicating that they were right, it turned out that there was really a mechanism underneath.

Zhu Wen also threw down the small hoe in his hand, and only after hearing the sound of "ping-" again did they feel relieved to go down.

Gu Yan was the first to go down into the trap, stepping on the ashes and some branches that had not been burned.

Gu Yan glanced up and shouted at Zhu Wen, who was still putting the rope below: "Wenzi, there is a place to step on the stone wall."

"As the old saying goes, the sound we just heard indicates that the drainage system may be underground."

"Oh, why did I forget?"

Gu Yan stood with a wry smile, and Zhu Wen had already picked up the hoe on the ground and gently tapped it on the ground.

After a while, he knocked at Gu Yan's feet, waved his hand at Gu Yan, and Gu Yan got out of the way.

Zhu Wen looked up at the thorns on the stone wall that had been cut down by the ancient sayings, and then looked at the ground, thinking about something.

Gu Yan squatted down and asked uncertainly: "Where is the drainage system?"

Zhu Wen nodded and replied, "It's possible."

Zhu Wen used his hands to move the things on the ground, and Gu Yan also went to help, but the two of them grinned hard for a long time without progress.

"Are we feeling wrong?"

Zhu Wen looked up at Gu Yan, who had already stood up, and he was also standing next to Gu Yan, frowning and saying, "This is really a strange place."

Gu Yan didn't answer, but squatted down again and rubbed the ground carefully, and the ground was full of burnt dust, and some dew was so close to the ground.

"Lines, let's get the ash out of the way and take a look."

Zhu Wen squatted down and carefully threw away the firewood ash on the ground with the palm of his hand, and after a while, the firewood ash was thrown aside by them.

The humidity on the trap floor is much higher than above.

"As the old saying goes, why haven't we found anything for so long?"

Zhu Wen gave up in frustration, the weather was hot, and the sweat on Zhu Wen's face didn't care about any image and wiped it directly with his hands, and as a result, he turned himself into a big cat.

Gu Yan didn't care about the image even more, and sat directly on the ground, Zhu Wen looked at Gu Yan, Gu Yan was very sad.

"I always thought this was the entrance to Maoling Mountain."

Gu Yan said sadly, Zhu Wen looked at him, and he didn't know what to say, so he sat on the ground with Gu Yan and couldn't do anything.

"I haven't seen my mom and dad for more than two years, and I'm afraid they're dead."

Gu Yan buried his head on his knees, Zhu Wen couldn't feel such pain, and there was no way to comfort him, the only thing he could do was to silently accompany Gu Yan.

The sun was in the sky, and the sun made the vermilion dizzy, and the two of them were silent.

After everyone discussed, Yang Damei decided to go and take a look alone, and let Yang Erwa protect Li Yixin and them, and did not allow them to run out of the cave.

Yang Damei came down from the hole, picked up an arm-thick tree trunk by the way, tried it, held it in her hand and cautiously walked towards the trap.

Yang Damei stood next to the trap and saw Zhu Wen and Gu Yan sitting on the ground, and with a "snap", Yang Damei threw away the trunk in her hand, pulled the rope and went to the trap.

"Gu Yan, what's wrong? Didn't you find anything? ”

Sister Yang squatted beside Gu Yan, Gu Yan raised her head to look at her, and when she saw her sweaty face, she could only give her a bitter smile.

"No, nothing, eldest sister, what do you say is going on?"

Zhu Wen kicked the little hoe farther away, very annoyed.

"As long as nothing happens, everyone is worried about you, and I will come to see you if you haven't come up for so long."

Sister Yang stood up and looked around, but still found nothing.

"Big sister, isn't this the entrance to Maoling Mountain?"

Gu Yan raised his eyes and asked, and also stood beside Sister Yang, he felt that now was the best time to ask Sister Yang.

"I don't know, in fact, to be honest, I don't know where the entrance to Maoling Mountain is."

Sister Yang paused for a moment and said eagerly, as if she remembered something: "By the way, I forgot to tell you, Gu Yan, last time I went home and met Granny Jiang." I went home on the ridge, but she chased after me, but I couldn't move my legs, she kept talking behind me, and I couldn't hear or understand what she was talking about. I didn't dare to turn back because I was afraid. I've heard from people in the village that she seems to be a little crazy, and I don't know how she's doing. ”

Sister Yang buried her head very sadly, and asked in surprise: "Didn't Erwa say that she treated you?" Why are you afraid of her? ”

"Please, she suddenly appeared behind me, plus it was dark, so I was scared."

"Then, how are we going to get to Maoling Mountain?"

Gu Yan asked the question he wanted to ask the most, and he was eager to get an answer from Sister Yang, Sister Yang shook her head blankly, and Gu Yan was extremely disappointed.

"I think I have to go back and ask Granny Jiang, she must know."

"Gu Yan and I are both suspecting that Yixin is a person from Maoling Mountain that Granny Jiang said."

Zhu Wen inserted a sentence, looked up at the trap, and did not see Li Yixin's figure.

"I've thought so too"

"Then can we ask Yixin?" Zhu Wen anxiously interrupted Sister Yang's words, Sister Yang shook her head and said, "Maybe it's not time yet."

"Huh? Why? "The ancient sayings and vermilion are in unison.

"Let's go back to the village chief first, if we continue like this, we may take more wrongful roads, as the old saying goes, you tell Uncle Li seriously about the fact that you went to find your parents, I believe he will understand." He's the kind of old-fashioned old man, but he's still quite reasonable. ”

"That's the only way, I'm going to see that Granny Jiang too, maybe she also knows something."

After answering the old saying, he said, "Then let's go up, don't let them worry too much."

"Yixin is a very simple girl, Wenzi, I hope you cherish her well!"

Sister Yang's words were said to the back of Gu Yan, who was grabbing the rope and climbing up.

Looking at the back of Gu Yan, Sister Yang suddenly felt very sad and couldn't say anything.
