The two walked slowly, San'er has been keeping his head down, since he just crossed the fork in the road, San'er's head has not been raised, Zhang Renshan followed behind San'er to not see what San'er was looking at, looking around to avoid any accidents at that time, walked for a while, San'er suddenly stopped and squatted on the ground, Zhang Renshan thought that San'er found something in front of him, and quickly squatted down with him, looked ahead, after a long time, San'er slowly stood up, and then looked around, frowned, Walking forward, Zhang Renshan looked at San'er and really didn't know what he was doing but didn't know how to ask, so he had to continue to follow San'er silently, the two walked around in the cave and didn't know how long they had been walking, San'er suddenly turned around and looked at Zhang Renshan and said, "Xian'er, we seem to be lost!" ”

Zhang Renshan was stunned by what San'er said, opened his mouth and didn't know what to say, so he stumbled for a long time, and finally squeezed out a sentence: "Isn't it?" ”

"I think that's right! We're really lost," San'er smiled embarrassedly. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"It's not San'er...... Are you embarrassed to laugh? I've been following you all this way, I'll go wherever you go, I didn't say anything at all, and I didn't delay your walking, if I get lost, it's not my business," Zhang Renshan first threw away the responsibility, lest San'er come to blame himself again.

San'er looked at Zhang Renshan and nodded: "That's right, I really blame me for this time, it's because I didn't find the right direction, but the mark left by the fairy aunt is near the fork in the road, is it possible that there is a bright hall in that place?" ”

Zhang Renshan heard that Xiaoyue had left a mark, but he didn't see it, so he was curious and wanted to ask, but before Zhang Renshan opened his mouth, San'er had already turned around and began to walk back along the road where the two came, Zhang Renshan hurriedly chased after him, and the two walked one after the other for a while before returning to the vicinity of the fork in the road, San'er squatted on the ground and pressed the torch in his hand very close to the ground. Zhang Renshan chased up from behind San'er, and when he saw him crouching on the ground again, he didn't know what to look at, so he rushed to his side and looked at the ground together.

Under the light of the torch, a small fox footprint appeared in front of Zhang Renshan's eyes, the footprints were very clear, and it was obvious that they had just been left not long ago, Zhang Renshan nodded after looking at San'er's heart and said, "It turns out that San'er said that the mark is this!" No wonder he said that the female fox was not such a goblin! ”

San'er saw Zhang Renshan squatting beside him, so he tilted his head to look at him and said, "How about Xian'er, do you see something?" ”

"Huh? I can see what you have to do! But that female fox is really interesting, even if you go far, you will leave us something to guide us! Zhang Renshan stretched out his hand and tapped the fox footprints left by Xiaoyue on the ground.

San'er nodded, didn't speak, stood up and looked at it for a while, then lowered his head and said to Zhang Renshan, who was squatting: "Let's go!" Let's go back this way! ”

"It's not...... Didn't you say you couldn't do it here? Why do you have to leave? Zhang Renshan asked suspiciously when he heard that San'er was still going to go in the direction where the two of them came back.

"Leave it alone! Just listen to me," San'er didn't pay attention to what he said, and Zhang Renshan, who was full of questions on the ground, took steps and began to look for the road just now, and continued to go to the fork in the road.

"Alright! It's all up to you! Zhang Renshan had no choice but to stand up and follow San'er and start walking towards the road he had just turned back on.

The two did not stop this time, but almost all the way down the fork in the road, Zhang Renshan asked San'er several times if he was wrong, San'er did not answer, just blindly held the torch and walked in front, in the end, Zhang Renshan really couldn't help it, grabbed San'er and said: "San'er, what's going on with you?" ”

San'er was pulled by Zhang Renshan, his body was staggering, his feet were unstable, and he fell heavily to the ground, Zhang Renshan saw that his strength was too strong, so he quickly reached out to help San'er on the ground and wanted to help him stand up, but San'er raised his hand to stop him.

"What's wrong? I grabbed you to ask you a few words, not to deliberately throw you! I said I'm sorry, no! It's true," Zhang Renshan saw San'er blocking his hand away, thinking that he was angry, so he quickly explained to him.

San'er still didn't answer, Zhang Renshan got up quietly and squatted on the ground, and then picked up the torch that he fell when he fell, Zhang Renshan saw that San'er still ignored himself and quickly squatted on the ground to talk to him, but San'er hurriedly made a silent gesture at him, Zhang Renshan quickly covered his mouth with his hand after seeing it, and the two squatted on the ground and listened quietly to the surroundings, but no matter how Zhang Renshan pricked up his ears to listen, he couldn't hear a little movement around, But he didn't dare to ask, so he could only continue to squat on the ground and wait for San'er, when he was bored, Zhang Renshan looked up, almost all the passages in the cave were dug into a look, if no one led him, he broke in here, and in the end, unless his life was good, he could only be lost in it and starve to death, Zhang Renshan looked back and forth for a while, there was really nothing to see, and he was going to stand up and loosen his legs, but at the moment when Zhang Renshan was about to stand up, a faint sound reached Zhang Renshan's ears, It's a pity that the voice is too small, although the two of them noticed it, but they couldn't hear what the sound came from, San'er looked up at Zhang Renshan to see if he heard anything, Zhang Renshan saw San'er looking at him but shook his head.

In desperation, San'er also got up from the ground, took the torch inserted in the wall not far away to replace the one in his hand, and then continued to take Zhang Renshan towards the passage.

"I said, San'er, when do we have to go here? I feel...... Are we really on the wrong track? Zhang Renshan's heart has begun to appear uneasy.

San'er turned his head and looked at the foot of Zhang Renshan without stopping, and said as he walked: "The mark left by the fairy aunt should be correct, if she wanted to deceive us, she would have already deceived her, why wait until this time, now we can only go to this side, if it really doesn't work, let's talk about something else!" ”

"Hey...... All right! It's up to you! Zhang Renshan followed San'er and walked slowly.

The first two people in the passage have walked I don't know how far, the torches on the wall in front of them are getting scarcer and rarer, and finally there will be one within almost a hundred steps, Zhang Renshan looked back and looked at the San'er in front of him and said: "It looks like we have come to the end!" There are no torches in this place, and I don't think even those people usually come here, but it's no wonder that those people are not afraid to bother to use such torches for lighting, and how much wood and oil do they have to use up one day? ”

"These torches aren't what you think!" San'er looked up at the front, then turned around and looked at Zhang Renshandao.

"Huh? Not what I thought? So what's going on? Zhang Renshan saw San'er turn around and hurriedly spoke.

"You can smell the torches and tell them for yourself!" San'er pulled Zhang Renshan and began to walk back again along the road where the two came.

Zhang Renshan didn't understand what San'er meant, so he walked with him while sticking out his nose and smelling the smoke from the burning of those torches, only to Zhang Renshan immediately understood what was going on, stretched out his hand and pointed to a torch and said to San'er: "This torch uses fire scale oil!" ”

San'er nodded and looked at him and said, "This time, I know why such people use torches for lighting!" ”

"That's too much! Let's get to the torches planted in the wall around us now, not to mention dozens of torches, so if they are all made of fire scale oil, wouldn't we have to catch a whole lake of fish, shrimp, crabs and turtles to boil oil? Zhang Renshan couldn't believe that this happened to him, the cost of this kind of fire scale oil is actually very expensive, food is a precious thing for ordinary people, but this fire scale oil must be refined from animal fat, a drop of fire scale oil is equivalent to a day's rations for ordinary family members, it can be said that it is more precious than gold, but as long as this fire scale oil is refined, it is a good thing to ignite, and when it encounters an open flame, it can be burned almost for two or three days without extinguishing. However, it is precisely because the refining of fire scale oil is too extravagant, and the imperial court strictly prohibits the people from refining it privately, and it is almost difficult for ordinary people to see it.

"It's impossible to just catch shrimp and crabs, and the animals in this mountain can also be hunted and used to refine this fire scale oil," San'er waved his hand at Zhang Renshan and said.

"My good ...... These people are really crazy, it's really damning that they dare to do this kind of thing in such a large quantity! Zhang Renshan blinked a few times and looked at the torches on the surrounding walls.

"As the so-called Tiangao Emperor is far away, and they are doing this kind of thing in the deep mountains, how can anyone know, besides, even if the news can be transmitted outside, the person who reported the news has been stopped by these people before he can go far!" San'er held the torch in his hand and walked slowly in front.

The two began to turn back again, Zhang Renshan couldn't stand it anymore, looked at the familiar passage wall around him, and said to San'er: "I said we have to go back and forth a few times!" My legs are about to go sore, San'er, you have to think of a way, you can't keep tossing like this! When the time comes, don't mention going to save Xiao Lingling, it's still a matter whether we can go back! ”

San'er listened to Zhang Renshan's muttering and turned his head to look at him and said: "Don't complain, if I had a way, we would have been able to get out of here a long time ago, the clue left by the fairy aunt is just the footprints on the ground, but you also see that we have all come to the end and there is no other way to find, I think we still haven't found the right place, so let's go back and take a look again!" ”

When Zhang Renshan heard that he was going to leave, he was really helpless, sighed, drooped his head, and followed San'er listlessly, and the two of them ran back the way they came.

On the road, San'er was more cautious, carefully observing everything around him, as long as there was a little suspicious place, he would stop and look at it for a while, Zhang Renshan stood aside and accompanied him boringly, but seeing that he was about to walk back to the fork in the road when the two came, San'er still didn't find anything, only when he was anxious, a familiar word drifted into the ears of the two: "I said where did you two cubs go, you will disappear from my work of turning back, so that I can find it hard!" ”

Zhang Renshan hurriedly looked over when he heard the sound, and saw that Xiaoyue was standing on the ground with her tail wagging her tail and looking at Zhang Renshan and San'er with her fox head.

"My God! Where did you go, the female fox? San'er and I are almost exhausted! Zhang Renshan looked at Xiao Yue and shouted with a glare.

"I don't blame you, you blame me! You didn't keep up with it! Xiao Yue looked at Zhang Renshan and didn't know what to say.

San'er also saw Xiao Yue on the ground, although he was a little happy in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, looked down and said: "Immortal Gu Mo is not angry, we are not good, but if you lead the way again, can you walk a little slower, we mortals are not as good as your footsteps!" ”

Xiao Yue listened to San'er's words, nodded, no longer said anything else, the two of them came over and followed, as soon as he turned around, he walked towards the other side of the fork in the road, Zhang Renshan looked at it, and then glared at San'er twice, meaning you look at Lao Tzu before saying that you went wrong, you still don't believe it, San'er smiled awkwardly at Zhang Renshan, apologized, and then hurriedly held a torch and followed Xiao Yue, who was leading the way in front, although Zhang Renshan said that he was angry, but after all, it didn't matter if anything happened to the two, and followed the two of them towards the other side of the fork in the road together.

Xiao Yue walked lightly on the ground, sniffing around with her nose from time to time, and then jumped to the side of the passage, Zhang Renshan and San'er could only follow quickly for a while, and after walking for a while, Xiao Yue stopped, leaned out her front foot, nodded to the ground, and said: "This is it, your friends should be around here!" ”

Zhang Renshan and San'er were stunned when they heard this, and said in unison: "Fairy Gu, you are not mistaken, right?" ”

Xiao Yue nodded and said that she was definitely not mistaken, but the two looked up and saw that there was obviously a dead end in front of them, a rock wall completely sealed this passage, Zhang Renshan reached out and patted the wall, and a dull sound came out, it was obvious that this stone wall was solid, and there was no space behind it at all, San'er was also confused, holding a torch and looking around, seeing that there was nothing strange, he was out of idea for a while.

Xiao Yuezhi looked at the two of them with a relaxed face and said, "I'm done leading the way, you can do the rest yourself!" ”

"What's going on? You're obviously on the wrong track! And also...... And the fox face to speak? Zhang Renshan thought about saying, "Do you still have the face to speak?" But when he thought that Satsuki was a fox, he changed his words directly.

San'er listened to Zhang Renshan's words, and almost lost his joy, and forced a smile and said, "Xian'er...... You're really ...... Talent! ”

Xiao Yue didn't understand what Zhang Renshan meant, touched his fox face with his forefoot, and then looked at him and said, "Uh...... That's right! I'll just talk with a fox face! Who made me a fox! ”

"You ......" Zhang Renshan almost fainted by Xiao Yueqi, standing on the edge of the passage and reaching out to hold on to the rock wall to take a breath, but at this time, when a few people came, there was a sudden loud noise in the passage, and San'er hurriedly looked back but saw nothing.

When the voice sounded, Xiao Yue on the ground quickly jumped to San'er's shoulder and said to him, "The old snake is here!" ”

Zhang Renshan heard Xiao Yue's words, straightened up directly from the rock wall, and the broadsword in his hand was tightly held, San'er turned his head and looked at Xiao Yue on his shoulder, and then said, "Fairy Gu, are you sure our friend is around here, right?" ”

"Don't worry, you can't go wrong!" Xiao Yue looked at San'er and nodded.

San'er heard Xiaoyue's answer, frowned, looked around, and said to Zhang Renshan: "Xian'er, you'd better help me watch behind us first!" If that snake comes, you can talk to me! ”

Zhang Renshan nodded and agreed, and the broadsword in his hand stood on the road when the two came, San'er took Xiaoyue to the rock wall that blocked the way, and looked up, the rock wall was almost no different from the surrounding rocks, and there were all the convex depressions that should be there, San'er followed Zhang Renshan's previous appearance and patted on the wall, and then nodded, looking around, trying to find some clues. Xiao Yue stood beside San'er's shoulder, not knowing what he wanted to do, staring at her fox eyes and looking at San'er quietly.

It didn't take long for Zhang Renshan's words to come over: "I said San'er, if you want to do something, you have to hurry up, the old stinky snake has already smelled us!" ”

San'er listened to Zhang Renshan's words and hurriedly turned around and looked, only to see that in the distance of the passage, under the light of the torch, a huge black shadow of the snake's head happened to be printed on the wall of the passage, looking back, San'er had a lot of sweat on his forehead, the current situation is not optimistic, although the strange snake has not yet shown its head, but as soon as it appears from the passage, several people here have to finish playing, after all, this passage is narrow, unlike the previous hole, which is open enough for two people to show their fists, As long as the snake pounced in this direction, its huge body could squeeze both of them into meatloaf in an instant.

Zhang Renshan stood behind the two of them, staring at the passage in the distance, and couldn't help praying that the strange snake would find this side later, but it backfired, and the huge head of the strange snake was already looking for the smell to emerge from the direction of the passage, and only found out about the situation here in an instant, Zhang Renshan hurriedly roared: "San'er thought of the trick, the old stinky snake has seen us!" ”

San'er was taken aback by what Zhang Renshan said, and hurriedly said without looking back: "You go up first, drag it for a while, and I'll do it right away!" ”

"Drag your uncle! How do I fight with it? As far as it's head, I can't fight it in a place like this! Listening to San'er's words, Zhang Renshan almost blew up his lungs.

But it was useless for the two to quarrel again, and the strange snake was already rushing towards the place where the two were staying like a hungry tiger......
