"She, she, she's gone!" Zhong Huachi was dumbfounded, pointing in the direction where the little girl had disappeared, trembling. Yan Heyi shouted at him, followed and walked to the wall to inspect it carefully.

The walls are old and yellow, and large pieces of the wall skin are peeling off, and some are barely hanging on the wall. In the past, there were still deep and shallow imprints in the place where Gao Xuan's calligraphy and painting were held, and it took a long time for Yan Heyi to find a few very small gaps.

He pointed to those gaps and whispered to Zhonghuachi, "Look, this should be the entrance to the secret passage, and that little girl just now is not a ghost that haunts during the day, but a real, flesh-and-blood person!" Zhong Huachi stretched out his finger to tap on the wall. Yan Heyi took his hand and said, "Don't act rashly, I think there are other people in it besides that child!" ”

Looking back, the room was empty, with nothing but the marks of the furniture, let alone a pin. Zhonghua Pond circled along the four corners of the house, and suddenly found that there was a slight bulge on the ground, as if it had not been paved when it was built. He was playful, jumped up slightly, and stepped on it!

With a "pop", Yan Heyi turned around alertly, and saw a door slowly opening along the gap he had just found in the wall, Zhong Huachi was overjoyed, "Hey, there is really a secret way!" Yan Heyi said, "Let's go, let's go down and have a look!" ”

There was no smell of rot and mildew in the pitch-black passages, and there was even a hint of fresh wind coming from the depths. The two of them tried to take their steps as lightly as possible, not wanting to frighten the people hiding inside.

After about a meal, the space became much more spacious, accommodating four or five adults walking side by side, and there were traces of human activity. The two walls were flattened, some broken buckets and shovels were placed on the ground haphazardly, and further on, you could even see garlic and peppers hanging on the walls, as well as children's clothes drying out.

"Oh my God, this is a dungeon, and it's strange that there are people living in this kind of place!" Zhong Huachi once saw in a lone book that after the Great War of the Yellow Emperor Chiyou, the people of Chiyou hid underground and lived for many years. I didn't expect such a thing to happen next to him, which opened his eyes.

Laughter could already be heard not far away, Yan Heyi stopped and instructed Zhong Huachi to say, "No matter what you see for a while, you must stay calm and talk less!" Zhong Huachi nodded desperately, could he take a look at the wonders of the world, what was it if he didn't speak?

Sure enough, two women in blue and black cotton clothes were talking to each other, sneering from time to time. Yan Heyi coughed, walked up and gave a deep salute, "Two eldest sisters, excuse me!" ”

The women were startled when they saw someone appear, and if they hadn't covered their mouths, they would have let out earth-shattering screams. The egg-faced woman shuddered and asked, "You, who are you and how did you get in?" ”

Yan Heyi said, "We are the people of the town, and we strayed into the precious land. The egg-faced woman winked at the other woman, and the woman quietly walked away, and in a short time she brought twenty or thirty young men, each with a club and a steel fork in his hand, as if he were facing a great enemy!

"Those who come are not good, be careful!" Zhong Huachi put his hand into his arms, those hidden weapons didn't hurt him last night, and they were collected by him, I'm afraid they will come in handy in a while. A red-faced man noticed his small movements, and immediately shouted, "Don't move, what do you want to do?" Someone tentatively approached them, looking vigilant. Yan Heyi hurriedly clenched his fists and arched his hands, "Don't panic, everyone, we really have no malicious intent!" ”

"Hmph, people outside aren't good!" The red-faced man's face was full of disgust, and he listened to him, as if he was very hostile to the people outside. He said, "How did you come in, for no reason, how did you come to such a place, the weasel greeting the chickens for the New Year, and not having a good heart!" ”

Zhong Huachi was not only annoyed, but laughed out loud, "I said brother, you don't even know our name and surname, how can you think that we are weasels for the New Year?" We heard a little girl crying, and then we saw her running in, so we just came and looked. ”

A woman's voice in the crowd said timidly, "Xiaohong ran out just now, probably, probably was seen by them." The red-faced man's brows relaxed, and he was about to speak, when a short and fat man behind him whispered, "Even if they broke in unintentionally, but we have been exposed, if they go out and talk nonsense, the stable life that they have won so hard will be gone!" ”

"So, let them stay?" The red-faced man couldn't bear it, but the short and fat man gritted his back molars and said, "A small amount is not a gentleman, and it is not a husband who is not poisonous!" These two people must not stay! ”

As he spoke, the young men with sticks were ready to move, threatening to wipe them out under them. Yan Heyi said loudly, "Don't be impulsive, I know, you all have to hide here, we have seen that strange person in the White Tower, presumably you are all descendants of the master here, right?" "He's a bold guess, and there's no real evidence. The red-faced man in the lead was stunned for a moment and blurted out, "How do you know?" ”

A hanging heart was finally able to let go, Yan Heyi secretly let out a sigh of relief, regained his usual calm and said, "I naturally have a way to know, you have yours, and we also have our helplessness." I, Yan Heyi, swear to the sky, if I reveal only a few words about what I have seen and heard here, let me thunder five times in the sky, and I will never be able to turn over! ”

Such a poisonous oath will not be said as a last resort. The red-faced man asked Yan Heyi suspiciously, "You're really not here to arrest us?" Zhong Huachi said with a blushing face, "We are just worried about that little girl, we are afraid that she will have an accident alone, who knows who you are, and you don't have treasures at home!" ”

It's okay if he doesn't say it, as soon as he said this, except for Yan Heyi, everyone's faces changed, and the atmosphere became tense again. The short and fat man sneered and said, "What I said, they didn't have any good intentions. Li Tang, I'll leave it here, what to do, you can do it yourself! ”

Zhong Huachi knew that he had said the wrong thing, raised his hand and touched his face lightly, and muttered, "Let me talk less and talk less, I don't listen, I'm going to get into trouble now!" But he thought about it again, he was just joking, and they were so nervous, could it be that they had to hide here for some treasure? He glanced at Yan Heyi, and his face was also full of doubts.
