Chen Mingyi did find the patriarch and went to the ancestral hall.

The patriarch, the third uncle, and the patriarch's eldest son, Chen Mingfa, all four of them were in the ancestral hall, and they were the only few people who knew the secret hiding place in Chenjia Village.

"Mingyi, you just came back, I'll take you around tonight, and you will be familiar with it by yourself.

Now it's not peaceful outside, and the people in the village don't know very well. We can't say too clearly, we can only know it in our own hearts.

At that time, only a part of the villagers could be selected to come in and hide for a few days, after all, the place was too small, the number of people was limited, and they could not remember the life and death situation, and they would not use the hiding place underneath.

The maintenance and storage of the passage below for eating and drinking can only be prepared by the four of us in turn.

This time, let me take you down to check it out! ”

After the patriarch finished speaking, he personally took Mingyi down from the ancestral hall, Chen Mingyi already knew these four secrets in the village when he was in the early years of the examination.

But after so many years, the patriarch is also worried that Ming Yi has been unfamiliar for a long time, not to mention that he has just come back and led him around to take a look, which also reassures him.

The patriarch took Chen Mingyi from the dark place of the ancestral hall and went down to the secret passage, and now there are only four entrances to the secret passage in Chenjia Village.

One is here in the ancestral hall, one is in the backyard of the patriarch, one is in the backyard of the third uncle, and one is under the bed of Zhang Yurong's easternmost room.

The third uncle and the patriarch's eldest son, Chen Mingfa, waited for a while, and found that the patriarch came up alone.

"Let's all go back first, Ming Yi has some thoughts about the following, let's not bother him, think slowly for him, before dawn, he will come out by himself."

Chen Mingyi was in the deep pit at the bottom of Chenjia Village, carrying a large lantern and heading in the direction of his house.

The big hole at the bottom is natural and ready-made, and there are natural sharp ice sculptures on the top of the hole, that thing, the ancestors broke it more than a hundred years ago and took it out worthless, and it was almost targeted and killed.

Later, it was set that no one should take anything out of the cave, and the villagers would never enter the cave until the moment of life and death.

The maintenance and storage of food and drink in the cave for a short period of time is limited to a few villagers in each generation, and of course the patriarch of each generation must know about it.

At most, the cave can only accommodate about 200 people, and it will be depressed after a few days, which is summed up by the ancestors.

In the face of a catastrophe, Chenjiacun could only secretly select more than 200 people to take refuge, and those who hid for more than ten days and a half months were prone to accidents.

Eating and drinking Lazar is a big problem. If you are depressed for a long time, the people hidden in it will be easy to injure yourself, and the ancestors have summed it up that the suffocation time cannot exceed half a month.

Chen Mingyi walked in the direction of his own side, estimating that the time was less than a child, so he sat down and waited a little.

The goal of his return this time was not to hide inside, but to arrange a way back for Yurong's family, so that he could go all out to seize the rights in Zhang Chong's hands.

He wants to protect the people of the whole county, not just Chenjia Village.

Without worries, he can let go and seek to win.

The only person the Chen family could entrust to them was only Yurong.

Even his younger brother Mingdong, I'm afraid that he can't help but tell Cao Weijun, and if he tells Cao Weijun, the Chen family's hundreds of years of secret will no longer be kept.

Cao Weijun, how could she not tell the Cao family?

told the Cao family, how could the Chen family's secret be kept?

There is also another way to escape in the village, which is to escape to the mountains.

However, without any worries, he believed that the whole village would not use the way to escape.

Zhang Yurong fell asleep to Shirui at this time, and tonight she hugged Shirui to sleep with herself, which is considered in the eyes of outsiders.

The main reason is that Shirui is still young and ignorant, and generally does not wake up when he falls asleep.

Zhang Yurong plans to carry Shirui into the tunnel on her back.

finally heard the sound of buttoning under the bed, Zhang Yurong breathed a sigh of relief, and finally waited for this moment.

The mechanism was opened from below, and Zhang Yurong still didn't find the mechanism above, so she had to ask where the eldest brother was when she turned around.

The first thing Zhang Yurong saw was that the passage the size of half a bed was automatically moved under the bed, and the eldest brother's head slowly climbed the stairs with the faint light.

Zhang Yurong carried the sleeping Shirui on her back, quietly greeted her eldest brother, and followed him.

Seeing that Shirui was being carried by Zhang Yurong, Chen Mingyi smiled slightly, and then handed the lantern in his hand to Zhang Yurong, and he hugged Shirui down, and then carried Shirui on his back.

"Shirui slept deeply, he didn't know if he sold it, and he didn't know what was going on even when he woke up, so he simply took him to shake!"

Zhang Yurong approached her eldest brother and explained embarrassedly.

Such a secret thing, she can be told by her eldest brother, which is already extremely important.

"When I think of this, Shirui is still young, and the slightly older Shihao is not so easy to fool, it doesn't matter.

Follow me down the stairs slowly, there are four such passages in our village, and your bedroom in our house is one of them.

The patriarch and the eldest son of the patriarch, as well as the third uncle, and me, the four of us in the village originally knew the secret of this ancestor.

Now that you are added, no one can say anything about this matter, including my mother and Mingdong, and naturally your sister-in-law.

Until the moment of life and death, the ancestors are not allowed to enter, once they enter, they will be sealed for half a month, and the food and drink here can be used for half a month.

It can't accommodate more than 200 people, otherwise the breath is not enough, and something will suffocate and have an accident.

I'll take you to the place below our Chen family, I entered from the ancestral hall, wait a while, I'll go up and tell you where the room switch is.

I'll show you the underground cave of the Tibetans and go up. It's cold and damp below, and it's not good for people's health for a long time. ”

The passage down the stairs seemed long and narrow, Chen Mingyi said softly while leading the way, and it took almost two teas to go down the stairs, and then it was worthy of getting inside.

There are many brighter halls inside, there are many lanterns, Chen Mingyi specially lit them for Zhang Yurong, and when he left for a while, he had to extinguish them one by one.

Zhang Yurong looked up at this cave, I grass, this is a cave!

The height of the cave is about ten meters, and the area is not very large, but the front is dark, and there seems to be a corridor.

The cave floor was indeed cold and damp, but part of the floor was covered with sun-dried wormwood and sun-dried wheat straw.

The upper layer of hay was covered with straw mats, and when the disaster fell, there was not enough place for a hundred or ten people in the village to lie down.

"Follow me further, through the road over there, near the ancestral hall and the village chief's house, there is also a natural cave of about this size.

There were also hay and straw mats, as well as sealed food and water, but the quantity was limited, and only two hundred people were kept for a few days. ”
