Inside the underground passage, it was pitch black.

"It's dark here, you can't see anything, how long will it take?"

Zhang Xiaolong complained.

The three of them were side by side, Zhang Xiaolong was on the far left, Zhang Yuanshan was in the middle, and Fang Jingyu was on the right, and the three of them held hands to prevent them from getting lost in the darkness where they couldn't see their fingers.

"My master said that it shouldn't be long ten miles away. You two hold on tight, in case you get lost, you're in trouble. ”

The hands of the three of them clenched a little tighter.

Walking in the dark, extremely slowly, after more than half an hour, several people seemed to have come to an end.

Zhang Yuanshan kicked the front.

Confused, he said, "There's no way, it shouldn't be." ”

"Let's take a look in both directions."

Fang Jingyu said.

"Well, we haven't turned a corner all the way, let's look to the left first."

Then I came to the left, which was also a stone wall, and turned around again and walked to the right.

After walking for a short while, they didn't hit the wall, and several people also determined that this should be a turn in a direction.

A few minutes later, several people came to the end again, but they were all smiling on their faces.

In front of them was a ladder exactly the same as when they came down.

Zhang Yuanshan took the lead in climbing up.

Unlike when you come down, the ladder is very long, but this side is very short, and you can climb to the top in a minute or two.

Zhang Yuanshan held the stairs with his left hand, and his right hand kept looking for the raised stone bricks around.

Soon, he found it on the right.

Press down on the stone bricks.

There was an instant light overhead.

The two people below were also overjoyed to see the sky again.

Zhang Yuanshan was also full of joy, and instantly stretched his head out.

Suddenly, it was dark in front of him, his hand let go of the stairs, and the whole person fell.

Seeing that Zhang Yuanshan suddenly fell, the two instinctively reacted to dodge.

Zhang Yuanshan fell to the ground and stood up with a curse in his mouth.

Turned his head and looked at Fang Jingyu blankly, and then looked at Zhang Xiaolong.

"There were people up there, and as soon as I stuck my head out, someone patted me."

Rubbing his aching arm, Zhang Yuanshan said.

The two of them are also a little frightened, they can't be people from the evil sect, right?

Zhang Yuanshan also had no confidence, raised his head, and shouted softly.

"Big brother above, you raise your noble hand and let us out, will it be done?"

There is no answer above.

Zhang Yuanshan hesitated, but still climbed up.

When they reached the entrance of the cave, they did not dare to stretch out their heads.

"Hey, big brother, if you say something, even if it's a squeak."

Seeing that the other party did not answer, Zhang Yuanshan stuck his head out again.

In an instant, the boss with his eyes open.

Next to the entrance of the cave, there sat an eight- or nine-year-old girl, holding a wooden stick in her hand, covered in mud, looking at him with tears in her eyes.

The little girl raised her stick.

Zhang Yuanshan instantly stretched out his hand to block in front of him.

"Hey, don't fight, don't fight, I'm not a bad person."

Seeing that the little girl didn't start, Zhang Yuanshan hurriedly climbed out, turned around by the way, and called the two of them, and the two didn't want to stay down for a second longer, so they quickly climbed up.

Zhang Xiaolong stepped aside, spread his hands, and took a deep breath.

"Ah, the aroma of plants."

Zhang Yuanshan looked around, they were in a forest, and the entrance to the cave was next to a boulder.

Fang Jingyu wiped the dirt on the girl's face and asked, "Little girl, did you run out of it?" ”

The little girl nodded with tears in her eyes.

Zhang Yuanshan walked over and asked.

"Are you from the He family?"

The little girl didn't speak, just sobbed and nodded.

After some inquiry, a few people knew that this little girl's name was He Yulan, and she was the youngest daughter of the head of the He family, and the only daughter. The head of the He family, that is, He Nantian's nephew. The little girl has been the pearl of the entire Hejiabao since she was a child, and she is deeply loved by He's seniors. From time to time, Senior He would take him from this underground passage to the woods here to fish and play.

The little girl witnessed her mother's death in front of her last night, and she was hidden in a box by his mother and was not found. The little girl hid in the box and cried bitterly, but she did not dare to make any sound, and when she was tired of crying, she fell asleep.

When she woke up, she saw her mother lying on the ground, she was very sad, and when she went out, there were corpses everywhere, which made her very afraid. But the little girl was very smart, and slowly touched the martial arts field in the dark and entered the underground passage.

In the endless darkness, ran out.

After coming out, the little girl was also very frightened, curled up beside the stone, I don't know how long later, she heard someone under the hole, she was very panicked, picked up a wooden stick from the side, saw the hole was opened, stretched out a head, the little girl smashed it without saying a word.

At this time, Fang Jingyu was leaning against the stone, the little girl was crying in her arms, she kept stroking the little girl's back and comforting her.

"Cry, crying, it's not so uncomfortable."

Zhang Yuanshan was on the side, looking at He Yulan, who was crying bitterly, with mixed feelings in his heart.

Alas, I'm afraid you are the last person in the He family, you can run out and prove that your life should not be extinguished, there will be a blessing after the catastrophe, and I Zhang Yuanshan will never starve you in the future.

"He Yulan."

Seeing that the little girl didn't cry anymore, Zhang Yuanshan gently patted her shoulder.

He Yulan was still holding Fang Jingyu in his hand, and he hadn't come out of the fear yet, he turned his head, the corners of his eyes were moist, his eyes were red, and he looked at Zhang Yuanshan with red eyes, and sniffled.

Zhang Yuanshan squatted down and looked at He Yulan gently.

"From now on, I will call you Lan Lan, I am your grandfather's apprentice, the only apprentice. Your grandfather handed over Hejiabao to me before he died, fate let us meet, you will be my sister in the future, and when you grow up, I will personally hand Hejiabao into your hands, looking forward to you reviving the glory of Hejiabao. ”

He Yulan looked at the sincere Zhang Yuanshan, tears fell from the corners of her eyes, and she shouted hoarsely: "Brother." ”

Zhang Yuanshan touched He Yulan's forehead.

Zhang Yuanshan asked how to close the tunnel door, He Yulan ran to the bushes on the side, touched the hidden mechanism, and the hole was closed instantly, no different from before, just a few traces. Zhang Yuanshan grabbed a few handfuls of soil from the side, sprinkled them, and threw some leaves.

"Let's go, let's go down the mountain first and see where we are."

Zhang Yuanshan said and squatted down.

looked back at He Yulan next to Fang Jingyu.

"Come here, I'll carry you."

The little girl walked over and lay on Zhang Yuanshan's back.

Carrying He Yulan, Zhang Yuanshan was also relaxed, much lighter than the wooden box.

A few people followed the woods and groped down the mountain.

Soon, several people found a path.

It didn't rain here, and the mountain road was not difficult to walk, so a few people followed the path all the way down.
