Chapter 83: Tunnels
Going around and around, Qin Er found a secret passage under the wooden house in the small courtyard that led to no direction.
The tunnels are empty and narrow, unusually damp, barely enough for a person to pass through.
Yun Xi looked at the dark tunnel, and inevitably muttered in his heart.
With such a narrow tunnel, if the other party deliberately left something to deal with them, there was really no place to hide.
"Master, my subordinates will explore the way first." Qin Er said his thoughts without hesitation.
Qin Yi looked at him with a rare flash of approval and encouragement in his eyes.
Yun Xi wants to be the pathfinder, and she is also confident in her own ability and strength.
Among the people, she understands poison and knows how to cure drugs, and her only weakness may be that her skills are not as good as these perverted ancients who have practiced martial arts since childhood.
But she has a silver needle in her hand, and it's not that she can't fight with it, she is really invincible, she can also poison the other party, and she still has a certain confidence in her own force index.
But these many advantages no longer exist when you see the man guarding beside you.
Yun Xi didn't say anything, she knew that this man would not agree to her going on an adventure.
In order to ensure Qin Er's safety to the greatest extent, Yun Xi decided to prepare him with some more small medicines that could save his life at a critical moment.
Qin Eryi took it one by one, and his heart was very warm.
Yun Xi stared at his back and instructed, "Don't worry, be careful in everything." ”
Qin Yi found a bundle of vine ropes out of nowhere, and threw it at Qin Er's feet a little awkwardly.
"Tie it up."
Qin Er was so heartless that he was used to it, coupled with the habit of obeying orders that he had cultivated over the years, he didn't even have the slightest doubt, so he tied one end of the vine rope to his waist according to Qin Yi's request.
Qin Yi waved at him and motioned for him to go.
After Qin Er left, the volume of the vine rope on the ground became smaller and smaller, Qin Yi and Qin Mufeng glanced at each other, grabbed the other end of the rope, and walked into the tunnel.
"Be careful, shout if you have a situation."
Qin Mufeng's advice made Qin Yi's heart warm, and the steps under his feet seemed to become more firm.
"Let's go too." Yun Xi looked at the empty tunnel and said.
"Don't be in a hurry, it's not too late to wait for Qin Er to send a signal."
In the tunnel, Qin Er held a torch and pricked up his ears to pay attention to the movement in the dark tunnel.
That cautious appearance really makes people associate with the usual rough people.
"Boss, is that you?" Qin Er pulled the vine tied to his waist.
Qin Yi pulled it back, lifted his breath and said in a loud voice: "Concentrate, don't be careless." ”
It turned out that everyone's worries were completely unnecessary, and Qin Er walked out of the secret passage all the way unimpeded.
After coming out, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and he was not in a hurry to send a signal to Qin Mufeng.
He put his hand on the vine around his waist and paused, afraid that he would not know so Qin Yi would worry, so he didn't untie it.
Qin Er walked around the entrance of the tunnel, checked the surrounding situation, and found nothing abnormal, so he took the signal flare from his body and launched it into the air.
As everyone knows, what he did was clearly seen by a pair of eyes hidden in the dark.
Almost at the same time as the flare exploded in the sky, Qin Yi also walked out smoothly holding on to the wall.
Compared with Qin Er's ease, Qin Yi looked a lot embarrassed because he was injured and walked such a big way.
He was sweating profusely, his face was pale, and his hands on the wall were faintly shaking.
Seeing this, Qin Er hurriedly went over to pick him up, and when he saw the vines around his waist, he realized that he had just walked too fast.
He blamed himself with some chagrin.
"I'm sorry, boss. I forgot that you have injuries and have difficulty moving, why don't you remind me? ”
Qin Yi listened to his words that he called complaining and was actually self-reproach, and tried to pull the corners of his mouth: "It's okay, I can still hold it." ”
On the other end, Qin Mufeng, who saw Qin Er's signal flare, entered the dark passage with Yun Xi with peace of mind, and walked out after a while to join Qin Yi and the others.
"Xi'er?"
"Huh? What's wrong? ”
Qin Mufeng looked at the obviously distracted person and smiled helplessly: "I'm asking if you eat fish?" ”
"Oh, okay." Yun Xi was a little absent-minded.
"What were you just thinking so intrigued about? I called you several times and didn't hear you. ”
Yun Xi glanced at the empty surroundings, suppressed the illusion of being watched inexplicably, and shook his head with a smile: "It's okay, maybe I'm too tired and nervous." ”
Qin Mufeng naturally held her slightly cold hand, and when she spoke again, her voice was very gentle: "Don't be afraid, we are safe." ”
A warm current spread from the hands of the two to her heart, dispelling the exhaustion all over her body.
"Thank you."
"Silly lady, what else do you say to your husband?"
Yun Xi glanced at the big hands that brought her countless warmth and peace of mind, and for the first time, she felt greedy.
She thought, it doesn't matter, just let him take it for a while, and when she returns to Lijing City, she will clear the book after taking it and leaving it.
Before that, it should be a good memory of this untimely relationship with each other.
Qin Mufeng, who didn't know anything about this, was a little pleased, his son didn't refute him this time, let alone break free of his hand.
The hand holding her tightened, as if grasping the most precious treasure in the world.
"Xi'er, I'm very happy."
Yun Xi just smiled and didn't pick up the stubble.
She thought, let's leave it at that, whether she's cowardly or selfish, at this moment, she just wants to spend the rest of her days with him.
Qin Mufeng and the others climbed up the mountain only to find that the tunnel just now and the cave they had just entered the valley were exactly the east and west ends of the mountain under their feet.
Everyone went down the mountain and joined Qin Ba, Tong Tong and others.
"Go back first, Qin Er, you go back and take someone to clean up the things in the cave and the group of man-eating flowers." Qin Mufeng gave an order with a solemn face.
"The clue is broken, do you plan to continue the investigation?" Yun Xi asked with some uncertainty.
Qin Mufeng's steps slowed down, for some reason, she was obviously by her side, and she didn't refuse herself, but his heart still felt a little panicked for no reason.
He subconsciously clenched the small hand in his hand and rubbed the back of her delicate and soft hand with his thumb.
"Xi'er is homesick?"
Think? It didn't seem to be, but she nodded against her will.
"I've been out for too long, and I miss my grandmother a little."
"Then let's go back and collect the tax money and leave for Lijing."
Yun Xi's reaction was a little surprised, as if he didn't expect him to say this.
Qin Mufeng looked at her dumb and cute appearance, his heart was so soft that he raised his other hand and gently rubbed her head: "What's wrong?" Happy silly? ”
Yun Xi's face turned red all of a sudden, and his heart jumped violently.
This feeling of being like a rabbit in her arms was strange and familiar, which made her a little confused and faintly scared.
In a hurry, she broke free from the other party's men, turned around and ran away.
You're stupid! Your whole family is stupid.
