Inside the secret door is a long corridor, although there is no daylight here, but there are dark grids in the walls every two meters, and an oil lamp is placed in each dark grid, so it is extremely bright. Wu Zhiyuan looked at the design in this corridor and sighed to himself, thinking to himself, could it be that all this was arranged in advance?

Walking through the corridor and coming to an iron door, Wu Qiang took out the key to open the big lock on the door, and walked in first, followed by Wu Zhiyuan and others. There was another corridor inside the door, but it was four or five meters long, followed by another iron door, which was also the iron general, and Wu Qiang took out another key to open the lock.

Behind this iron gate is also a corridor of the same length, and at the end of the corridor is the same iron door, after the third iron door is opened, Wu Zhiyuan saw a scene that surprised him.

I saw that in a huge space in front of me, nearly 100 people were sitting around the wall, and when I looked closely, it was all people from Wujia Village!

"Look, who's coming?" Wu Qiang took the lead in shouting, and everyone sitting around raised their heads at the same time to look this way.

"Zhiyuan?" "Zhiyuan!" …… The big guys all stood up, all looking delighted and surprised.

"Zhiyuan! My baby! A middle-aged woman pounced from the crowd and hugged Wu Zhiyuan tightly.

"Mom! I am back. Wu Zhiyuan also hugged his mother Wu tightly, with a crying tone in his voice, and tears welled up in his eyes.

At this time, Wu Zhiyuan's father, Wu Chengxi, also came over and held Wu Zhiyuan's hand, and muttered: "It's good to come back, it's good to come back......"

When everyone saw Wu Chengxi's family reunited, they were also moved by this warm scene, and the eyes of several people also flashed brightly.

"You ...... Why are you hiding here? After a long time, Wu Zhiyuan looked at his father Wu Chengxi and asked, he knew about the grievances between Dong Qian and the ancestors of the Wu family, and probably guessed the reason why everyone avoided this, but he still wanted to be sure, after all, what he knew about Lu Dao was only Dong Qian's family.

"Child, this matter is a long story, you should ask your fifth uncle." Wu Chengxi sighed helplessly.

"Fifth uncle? I had something to tell him. Wu Zhiyuan said, and searched for the shadow of the fifth uncle in the crowd.

One person coughed a few times, pushed through the crowd and walked out, it was the fifth uncle!

From the beginning of the formation of Wujia Village, the ancestor of the fifth uncle has assumed the responsibility of the village head, and is also responsible for the diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the whole village. The children in the village were all taught by the fifth uncle himself, and when Wu Zhiyuan was out of his body, the fifth uncle had diagnosed and treated him, so Wu Zhiyuan felt very kind to him.

"Fifth uncle, what the hell is going on?" Wu Zhiyuan took a few steps forward to meet the old man.

"Zhiyuan, I've already told the big guys about the reason for this incident, but you quietly ran away from home a month ago, so you don't know about it. Here I have to say a few words to you first, you are not a child anymore, why don't you know how difficult it is for Lu Dao to be a parent, do you know how worried your parents are about you since you left home? Although the fifth uncle is over sixty years old, he is still in good spirits, his face is kind, but his eyes are very stern.

When Wu Zhiyuan heard this, he said yes again and again, and he felt a little remorse and self-blame in his heart.

The fifth uncle paused for a moment and sighed: "It is not my personal will to let the whole village give up everything and hide here with food and water. ”

Wu Zhiyuan looked at the fifth uncle intently, nodded slightly, and secretly guessed that this kind of reason, since it was not the intention of the fifth uncle, could it be the joint decision of the whole village? What is the reason for this?

The fifth uncle was full of sorrow, and was silent for a long time before continuing: "Before my father died, he gave me a bag, which was handed down by our ancestors in Wujia Village, from my great-grandfather, from generation to generation, and it has been a hundred years now. Before his death, my father repeatedly instructed me that this bag should never be opened privately, and it could only be opened on the designated day, that is, the day before the Mid-Autumn Festival of this month, and it must be opened. ”

"And you took it apart?" Wu Zhiyuan couldn't help but be curious, and hurriedly asked, everyone in the village was also silent, listening quietly to this story that had already been heard.

"Hmm." The fifth uncle nodded slightly, his thoughts seemed to go back to the day before the Mid-Autumn Festival, he suddenly looked at Wu Zhiyuan and asked, "We have an ancestral motto in Wujia Village, do you know the way?" ”

"The villagers of Wujia Village are not allowed to set foot in Longshan for half a step, and the mountain lion is the boundary." Wu Zhiyuan replied without thinking.

"Yes, if you hadn't followed this ancestral precept at the beginning, you wouldn't have fallen to the point of being scared out of your soul." The fifth uncle's words were not without reproach, and he continued as soon as he changed his words, "The day before the Mid-Autumn Festival, I opened the bag according to my father's intention and found that there was a letter inside, this letter was left by the ancestors of all of us in Wujia Village, that is, the two brothers Wu Zheng and Wu Xi. ”

Wu Zhiyuan wanted to open his mouth to ask about the content of the letter, but after thinking about it, since the fifth uncle would definitely say it, he swallowed lightly and remained silent. And everyone around stared at the fifth uncle one by one, but no one made a sound, and the huge room was suddenly surprisingly quiet.

The fifth uncle pondered for a long time, as if he was in deep thought, his eyes showed an incredible look, and his lips trembled slightly: "The letter said that the surrounding area of Longshan is full of formations, and evil things are sealed in the formations. But this formation can only trap evil things for a hundred years, so we Wujia Village's descendants are required to hide in this underground dark room on the day before the Mid-Autumn Festival a hundred years later. ”

Wu Zhiyuan smacked his tongue when he heard this, and at the same time looked around at the huge dark room, and couldn't help but ask again; "What about this dark room......

"This dark room has been there since when our Wujia Village was established, and it must have been prepared by our ancestors in advance." The fifth uncle understood Wu Zhiyuan's question, so he directly interrupted his questioning.

"How did so many people in that village get here?" Wu Zhiyuan remembered the scene of crawling in the cave.

"You came in through the hole you just climbed into." The fifth uncle said with a blank expression, "However, in addition to the hole in your cellar, there is another hole in this dark room, and the other hole is in the cellar of your Brother Wu Qiang's house." ”

"There is also a hole in the cellar of Brother Qiangzi's house?" Wu Zhiyuan turned his head and saw his six- or seven-year-old son standing next to Wu Qiang, and remembered that he had found a steamed bun with fresh saliva that had been bitten at Wu Qiang's house. Could it be that the steamed bun was bitten by Wu Qiang's son?

Wu Zhiyuan was about to ask, but he heard the fifth uncle continue: "The kid of Wu Qiang's family was disobedient, and ran out of the kitchen to get the steamed buns in the kitchen without permission, and was almost discovered by the evil thing, so from that day on, we sealed the hole entrance." ”

At this point, Wu Zhiyuan suddenly felt that the clouds had dissipated, and all the mysteries that had happened in the past few days had basically been explained. As for whether Dong Qian's words were completely true, he didn't get any answer from the fifth uncle's mouth, but what the fifth uncle said in his heart basically confirmed Dong Qian's words.

"Fifth uncle, can I say a few words to you alone?" Wu Zhiyuan looked at the fifth uncle and asked respectfully.
