Why would there be a pair of shoes in this obviously uninhabited room?

Three steps and two steps out of the house, Yan Ning stood in the courtyard, patted his chest, and felt afraid of his boldness.

It's just that I'm afraid that I have to go, if there are really dirty things, since she stays in the Lu family, she will definitely be found by those things, so Yan Ning searched every wing of the entire Lu family, but still found nothing.

Yan Ning sat on the stone steps and thought for a while, in fact, the layout of the Lu family's rooms was almost the same, and when they entered, they were boxy rooms, Taishi chairs, tables, beds, dressers, screens and wooden barrels behind the screens, and there was nothing to hide.

The sky was getting darker, and Yan Ning had no concept of time, so he could only roughly judge that it was afternoon.

She looked around the entire courtyard, climbed the wall with the help of the climbing vines, and stood on the wall looking down on the entire Lu family.

After standing on the wall, Yan Ning realized that not only was there no one in the Lu family, but the entire village was gone.

The demonic villagers who chased her and caused her to get into the wall were all gone.

There are empty alleys and brick and mud houses of different heights, so where have these villagers gathered?

Yan Ning couldn't help but glance at the map, this village doesn't have any platforms or open spaces to gather people, even if there is, she should be able to see it if she stands so high, unless the other party is not in the village.

Is it like when she first came, hiding in the house and doing nothing, or is it out of the village?

Or maybe they went to the woods, or maybe they went to the cols.

The road outside the map was foggy, and she couldn't look carefully when she stood on a high place, Yan Ning secretly thought that this might be caused by that curse, and if she didn't break the curse, she might not be able to get out.

Yan Ning didn't have a clue, so she had to go to the wedding room again.

There are not many places she has been to in the Lu family, just the lobby, the wedding room and the woman's room, and the rest is the pond.

Wait, woman?

She suddenly remembered the small room that the woman had entered that day, and unconsciously walked there, and by the time she came to her senses, she was already standing at the door of the woman's room.

The door was hidden and not locked, or the lock was so rotten that it could not be closed.

Yan Ning couldn't help but touch the chicken blood bracelet and easily pushed the door open.

The candles on the table were even burning, but there was no one in the room, so Yan Ning didn't delay any longer and walked in the direction that the woman had walked that day.

As soon as she walked to the bedside, she was greeted by a strong smell of blood.

The opening behind the pillar is a stone path that goes deep, with a faint light, and a forked road not far away.

The secret passage was very long, Yan Ning tried to take two steps, and there was a clattering sound from the stone steps, and the echo was very dull,

It was pitch black below, Yan Ning took the candle to light himself and walked towards the secret passage.

When I walked down, I found that the secret passage was very narrow, at first it was possible to accommodate two people side by side, and when I walked down four or five steps, it began to slowly narrow, Yan Ning counted step by step, and by the tenth step, it was already only possible for one person to pass.

On both sides of the passage are sweaty stone walls, and on top of them are unscraped stones that have emerged. This secret passage seems to have been rushed out in a short time, it is very shoddy, Yan Ning is wearing short sleeves, and has been scraped off by stones several times, and even feels that the scratches on his arms have been bleeding.

When she walked to the fifteenth step, Yan Ning finally couldn't stand it, the space here was too cramped, although there was a bright light at the front, but the black stone wall here made her breathless, Yan Ning couldn't help but wonder how the woman brought out the sticky rice that day.

Can this kind of place really be walked away?

She turned her head to look at the entrance behind her, and decided to go any further, and if the front was still so cramped, she would turn back.

Fortunately, at the fork in the road in front, there was a faint light on the left and right sides, and Yan Ning found that the feeling of his feet had completely changed, and his left foot was no longer stepping on a hard stone road, but a material close to the mud.

The space above his head was not much larger than that on the secret passage, but the feeling of crampedness had faded a lot, and Yan Ning was overjoyed and stepped on the ground steadily.

Left or right? That's a problem.

She lifted the candle higher and saw that there was a very large space in front of her, the structure on the left and right sides was similar, but the right side was slightly brighter, and there was a vent above her head, and she could vaguely see the gray sky.

It's all here, and she decides to go to the right.

It's said to be big, but it's actually just because it's dark and you can't see clearly. On the left and right sides are wooden fences, each of which looks like a cage, but there is no one inside.

Maybe Yufei was locked up in a farther place, Yan Ning thought that the Lu family would not have several dungeons. There must be something else here, and if it were to rely on such a narrow stone passage, it would be impossible to lock people in, let alone build such a secret cell.

The inside of the cell was extremely dark, only lit by the candle in Yan Ning's hand, and there were some blood stains on the stone wall, which showed a dark red texture because of its age, and it was very sticky/thick. Yan Ning found that there were still some oil lamps hanging on the wooden door, but the fuel inside had run out and could not be lit again.

The air was filled with a faint fishy smell and the smell of animal excrement.

She still had about half of the candle in her hand, and she didn't know if it would support her to use it.

Each fence is not too large, about two squares, and people can only squat and sit in it, maybe this place is not for people.

It looks like it's a pig.

Yan Ning looked for it one by one, the dim flames were shaking, and in the dark corridor, it was quite terrifying.

She quickly found Yufei, and also saw the door at the end of the aisle.

The fence where Yufei was held was locked, but the lock was so worn that she could break it with her bare hands.

Yufei's pink coat was dusty, and she sat in the corner with her knees clenched, even when she heard the sound of smashing the lock, she didn't react.

Yufei was shrunk by a long chain, extending from her neck and locking to the wall. Yufei's long hair was messy, covering her entire face.

Yan Ning couldn't see any of her expressions.

"Are you okay?"

They had only been separated for a few hours, and Yan Ning stepped forward and patted her on the shoulder, "Can you go by yourself?" ”

Yufei seemed to have just reacted, she raised her head with difficulty to look at Yan Ning, and when she saw that it was an acquaintance, she whined excitedly, and tears appeared in her eyes.

She was tightly tied, with chains around her neck and a cloth in her mouth. Yan Ning only thought that she was squatting and sitting from a distance, but when she got closer, she found that the opposite side had her hands and feet together, and she was tied into a ball.

It's like the end of the year, when the villagers work together to kill pigs.

Yan Ning took out the cloth, and took the candle to burn the rope that tied her, the rope was very thick, so it took a little more time, and the candle was only a short section behind, but this is not the main thing, the biggest problem at present is that they have no way to hold the chain.

It is impossible to fuse by candles, not to mention that there is only a little candle left.

As if he was afraid that Yufei would run away and die, the iron chain was as thick as three fingers, and it made a heavy sound between Yan Ning's shaking.

Lu Heng said that the other party should be preparing for the sacrifice tonight, and now she shouldn't take care of their side, so she got closer and thought about what to do.

The door locks can be broken so easily, and this chain should also be defective, she quickly found a gap in one of the sections, and was about to use brute force to break the chain, when she heard Yufei screaming in horror.

"Let's go!"

Yan Ning only felt that there was a gust of cold wind blowing behind him, and the next second there was a sound of a sharp blade breaking through the air, and Yan Ning could dodge the sharp blade and fell on the wooden fence.

Yan Ning endured the pain and got up quickly, her hair was cut off in a layer, and she fell to the ground lightly. She gasped and saw the other party's face clearly by the candlelight, and unexpectedly, it turned out to be an acquaintance.

The housekeeper only slashed once, and when he saw that Yan Ning had dodged, he didn't continue, just looked at her sharply.

It's hard to imagine how he could swing a creepy sharp knife with his physical state.

Yan Ning looked at him suspiciously, although there were two people on their side, but the other party had a knife, Yu Fei was still weak, and he really couldn't beat the housekeeper, and there was only Yu Fei's panting sound in the dungeon.

Yufei slowly stood up with her hands on the wall, and she stared at the housekeeper viciously: "Who are you, what do you want to do!" I'm telling you, intentional homicide is a crime! ”

"Butler......" It was obviously unwise to confront the other party head-on at this time, so Yan Ning asked vaguely: "Aren't you busy with sacrifices?" ”

"yes." The butler smiled and said, "It's not okay to have no sacrifices." The young lady will go with us. ”

Yu Fei looked at Yan Ning, her face looked pale and gloomy in the candlelight, she was also shocked at the moment, shocked that her teammates seemed to have become enemies.

"Sister Xiaohong, are you their young lady?"

Yan Ning thought to herself, can she say it?

Obviously, it can't, the butler's knife is shining with a cold light, and it will slash at her in the next second, but she doesn't want to admit it, so she has to ask vaguely: "Where is the young master?" ”

Yan Ning is of course more concerned about Lu Heng's whereabouts now.

The housekeeper said: "The young master is naturally where he should be, but you, the young lady, should be on the road." ”

Yan Ning didn't plan to go with the housekeeper, but it was not good to turn her face with the other party now, so she nodded, and the housekeeper opened the locked door very satisfied, and even agreed to let Yan Ning take Yufei out.

As soon as the butler went out, a servant handed a new chain from behind, and the butler smiled and said, "In order to prevent the young lady from running away, we have no choice but to offend." ”

Yufei has always been very anxious, she kept telling Yan Ning not to trust the housekeeper, there must be a conspiracy here, "This old bastard must have been hiding here for a long time, don't go with him!" ”

Yu Fei said while dragging Yan Ning hard, Yan Ning helplessly comforted her, and it could be seen that Yu Fei was greatly stimulated.

The housekeeper said viciously, "Please let this friend be honest." ”

Yufei's state was so bad that Yan Ning knocked the other party unconscious and offered to let her rest in the lobby.

The housekeeper did not want to cause more trouble, and gladly agreed.
