Ren Hailuan was already hungry and thirsty, so he first picked up the gourd and scooped a scoop of cold water to drink, only to feel sweet and delicious, secreting into his heart and spleen. After Ren Hailuan drank enough, he immediately scooped another scoop of water and went directly to the room where Tang Zhong was lying.

Although she couldn't find food for the time being, she fortunately found water, so Ren Hailuan scooped it up for Tang Zhong as soon as possible. Tang Zhong was already in a trance, but he still kept asking for water to drink. Ren Hailuan hurriedly brought the water over, and then slowly fed Tang Zhong to drink. Tang Zhong took a few sips in a daze, and finally slowly regained his composure, and lay down on the bed again and fell asleep.

Ren Hailuan has never roamed the rivers and lakes alone, nor has he had the experience of dealing with major affairs on his own. She is already young, and there are many elders in Xiaoyaomen, all of whom are used to and spoiled by her. Now she was suddenly in a predicament alone, and she was a little overwhelmed.

Although Tang Zhong is still by her side now, Tang Zhong is already a "mud bodhisattva crossing the river, and it is difficult to protect himself", but he still needs her care, which makes the pressure on Ren Hailuan suddenly increase.

If she were alone, she might give up on herself because she felt like she was powerless to save herself. But there is still a Tang Zhong by her side, but she can't ignore it.

A fragile person will only truly mature when he faces big things alone and then can handle some things independently.

It is said that the children of the poor are in charge of the family early, in fact, it is because most of the children of the poor have begun to deal with many things independently at a very young age. Because I have experienced a lot, I have matured early.

Many times, when we despair on our own, we can easily give up. But when we find that there are still others who need us in desperate moments, we will be more motivated.

Ren Hailuan is only a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, so she has never faced the test of life and death.

"No, I have to live. Brother Zhong was injured to save me, and I can't let him have any problems. Ren Hailuan saw that Tang Zhong was seriously injured and was already delirious, so he had to force himself to calm down.

"If there were many people living here, there were probably secret passages down the mountain. Otherwise, it would be absolutely impossible for many people to come up here, unless they were all real immortals. Ren Hailuan thought about it seriously and felt that there would definitely be a secret passage in this cave.

So, she immediately stood up, and her expression became stronger, no longer as confused as she had been at the beginning.

Previously, because of panic, Ren Hailuan did not carefully check the environment in this cave. Ren Hailuan felt that there must be a secret passage here, but he didn't find it. So she went back to the cave again, and began to search carefully and earnestly.

If there is a secret passage, then most of the hidden mechanisms in this cave, only by finding the mechanism in this cave, she and Tang Zhong can escape.

The greatest strength in a person's heart is his will to survive.

If a person no longer has the will to live, then he is no different from a dead man.

If you're not dead, don't treat yourself like waste.

Ren Hailuan is not dead yet, although her skills are low, she never thinks of herself as a waste.

She is only a little girl who has not yet grown up and matured.

Ren Hailuan came to the entrance of the cave again, and first saw the three big characters "Shadow in the Stream" above the cave door, and felt a little strange.

The seclusion of ordinary people outside the world is not called a hole, but a valley, but it is called a 'shadow in the stream', which seems to have no meaning at all, how can it not be strange?

It's just curiosity, although Ren Hailuan can't explain the origin of the name of the cave, but she has been looking for the entrance of the cave for a long time, and she really hasn't found any so-called mechanism.

There is nothing here except for a few plants that are extremely alive and grow in the crevices of the cliffs. Yes, just cold stone walls and clouds of smoke pouring into the cave.

It was evening, but the cave was warm in winter and cool in summer. The clouds and mist in the mountains are slowly seeping into the cave at this time, making the originally very warm cave feel a little cool.

"It seems that a fire must be built in the cave later, otherwise this cold wind will blow in, how can Brother Zhong stand it?" Ren Hailuan's mind was full of Tang Zhong's figure at this time, but he had completely forgotten his existence.

Ren Hailuan still didn't find the mechanism at the entrance of the cave, and then he searched along the cave and moved inside. This time she was looking very seriously, and she didn't even let go of a piece of gravel or a crack in the stone. But even so, she had searched most of the cave, but she still hadn't found her so-called secret passage.

"Perhaps, I was wrong! Could it be that the people who live here are really the masters of the world? Ren Hailuan couldn't help but be a little disappointed.

Time flies.

The sun has sunk in the west, and the sky will be dark.

Ren Hailuan had searched most of the cave, but he still hadn't found the mechanism, not even a suspicious place.

At this time, Ren Hailuan had already found the kitchen at the end of the cave, and just when she was already a little desperate, she really found a secret room next to the kitchen.

The secret room was hidden under the pyre, and on top of it were neatly arranged firewood and grass, ranging from soft fire grass to dead wood that had long since dried up. If anyone lived here, this pile of firewood and grass alone would be enough to last for three or four months.

Ren Hailuan turned over all the firewood and grass, and only then did he find the secret room in the most secret place.

The secret room extends downwards, and it could indeed be a passage to the bottom of the mountain stream. Ren Hailuan suddenly became happy, it seems that he is really in a desperate situation! The entrance to the secret room was sealed with a wooden plank, which was pressed with stones.

After Ren Hailuan removed the stones, he lifted the wooden board with his hand, but the wooden board was still not lifted. Ren Hailuan only found out at this time that one end of the plank was still wrapped with wooden rattans, as if it was locked. So Ren Hailuan reached out again to untie the wooden vine, and then lifted the plank, and then entered the secret room.

Ren Hailuan thought that he had really found an outlet, but the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. After Ren Hailuan entered the secret room, he found out that this secret room was a secret passage, and it was basically a cellar and a secret food storage room. However, Ren Hailuan was not disappointed, at least she still found food.

In this storeroom, there is actually a lot of food, not only fruits, wild vegetables, grains and other ordinary foods. There were also some very strange-looking things, at least things that Ren Hailuan had never eaten, all of them were insects and tree rhizomes and the like.

Above the storage room, there are still a lot of dried fish, dried yellow eels, and other watery smells.

Although Ren Hailuan had found food, she was already hungry, and her stomach was growling. Fortunately, there were many unknown wild fruits in front of her, and Ren Hailuan had never seen them herself.

Ren Hailuan wasn't sure at all whether this thing could be eaten or not. So she picked one up, and tried to bite into it with some fear, and suddenly felt that it was sweet and delicious, much better than any fruit he had eaten before.

"What is this? It's so delicious. Ren Hailuan couldn't help but be happy, and ate two in one go, and then took two more out of the cellar, planning to let Tang Zhong also taste this beautiful girl.

It's just that she just got out of the cellar, and suddenly thought that Tang Zhong was in a coma, and she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to bite the fruit. She remembered that there was a kitchen knife in the kitchen, so she quickly got the kitchen knife, and then walked very happily towards the bedroom where Tang Zhong was.

Oh! Oh! Oh!

Just as Ren Hailuan was heading towards Tang Zhong's bedroom through the main cave, a strange cry suddenly came from outside the cave, which sounded a bit like the cry of a wild monkey.

When Ren Hailuan heard the sound, he suddenly stood on his feet, and after a while, a huge figure outside the door walked in, and there were still monkey sounds behind him.

"It seems that the master has returned, it turns out that he has raised a lot of wild monkeys! No wonder there are so many bedrooms. It seems that he treats these wild monkeys as his own family, and he is really a kind person! Ren Hailuan was talking to himself, but he stood in place and waited for the master to come in.

After all, it is very impolite to trespass into someone's territory without their consent. Now that the owner is back, she must say hello to the family first!

Yes!

It's just that as soon as the figure appeared in front of Ren Hailuan, Ren Hailuan was suddenly frightened and screamed.

Oh! Oh! Oh!

Ren Hailuan's screams obviously frightened the other party, and the monkeys on the opposite side suddenly sounded, all of them looked very frightened, and they seemed to be frightened.

It turned out that the owner of the cave that Ren Hailuan thought just now was not a person, but a giant white monkey about the size of an ordinary person. Behind it, it was followed by a large group of monkeys, about twenty or so. Some are already old, while others are still hanging on their mothers to breastfeed.

The white monkey suddenly sees a stranger in his cave, and the other person is holding a kitchen knife in his hand. Therefore, it naturally thought that the other party was coming to kill it, so it became furious in an instant, and let out a roar of "howl" from its mouth.

Ren Hailuan was originally timid, but at this time, he was frightened by the white monkey, and immediately threw away the fruit and kitchen knife, and fled for his life quickly.

The white monkey saw that his roar was frightened by the other party, and his anger eased slightly. However, a stranger suddenly broke into his residence, and it naturally wanted to expel him, so the Monkey King immediately led the monkey monkey grandson to chase after him.

Finally, the White Monkey King found Ren Hailuan, who had escaped just now, in one of his bedrooms. It had also wanted to scare her by screaming so that it could expel her from its cave. But it found that the little girl did not need to be frightened at all, and had already pounced on the other person and trembled, and it seemed that she had already been frightened.

Oh! Oh! Oh!

As for the little monkeys behind the Monkey King, they all jumped up and down behind it, constantly making threatening calls, but they didn't dare to take a step into the bedroom. Obviously, they were all waiting for the Monkey King's orders.
