Chapter 9: Escape

The dark and dreary night, like boundless thick ink, was heavily smeared on the sky, not even the glimmer of the stars, the wind was still blowing gently, and the yellow sand in the sky swirled and drifted everywhere.

At this time, Mu Chen, who was lonely and helpless, seemed to feel the real coldness and cruelty of the situation, looking at it, the light was dim, how could such a faint light withstand the darkness of the night?

After a long time...

"Squeak... Squeak..."

Bai Ling'er walked to the round table with a package on her back, took off the package and put it on the round table to look around.

Mu Chen slowly emerged from the darkness and walked softly to Bai Ling'er.

"Childe's things are here, you go and change them, and we'll leave right away." Bai Ling'er took out a set of black robes, handed it to Mu Chen, and said softly.

"Well..."Mu Chen nodded and replied.

After a while, two figures were in the corridor, moving forward quickly, because Mu Chen was tall, he had to walk half-squatting, which looked particularly strange and awkward.

"Stopβ€”" a loud shout rang out from not far away. A burly man, holding a bright cloud-headed knife in one hand and a light red lantern in the other, walked towards Mu Chen and the others.

Mu Chen and Bai Ling'er are both agitated spirits.

"This eldest brother, I am the third young master's maid, and I am ordered by the eldest lady to do something. Bai Ling'er immediately calmed down and said sweetly.

"The third young master's maid... , I'm sorry, in Xia Wang Wu, it's a new nursing home, I don't know my sister, please forgive me, I was also ordered to inspect and investigate, I hope my sister will take care of it. Wang Wumei stepped forward with a smile and bowed.

"It's all for the master, understand, understand... Brother Wang Wu, let's go first, the matter of the eldest lady will not dare to delay. Bai Ling'er replied slightly.

"That's... Is that... Please!" Wang Wu said with a gesture of please.

After that, Mu Chen and Bai Ling'er hurriedly continued to rush in the direction of the secret passage.

"Damn, that old mama, she was so disgusting, and she still twisted and twisted when she walked, and she was still the water spirit born by the maid in the same room. Wang Wu seemed to vomit, and writhed a few times, his own firm ass, he couldn't help but lick his lips, smiled stupidly, and muttered.

When the lights went away, Mu Chen and Bai Ling'er both grew an atmosphere, looked at each other, smiled lightly, and then continued to walk silently.

"Boom... Rumble... Boom..."With a gentle friction sound, the stone door of the secret passage was slowly pushed open by Mu Chen and Bai Ling'er together.

"Miss Bai, are you really not going with me?" Mu Chen asked again as he looked at Bai Ling'er sincerely.

"Childe, don't say more, I'm not leaving, you can go quickly! Remember that my name is Bai Ling'er. Bai Ling'er bit her lower lip, pushed Mu Chen into the secret passage, and said with a hint of choked in her tone.

"White Maiden...."

"Boom... Rumble... Rumble.... The cold stone gate was once again closed back to its original position by Bai Ling'er, who used all her strength, and a crystal tear slipped from the corner of her eye, and she turned around and left vigilantly.

"White girl, thank you, if I have the ability, I will definitely come back to save you from leaving. Mu Chen lay on the stone door and whispered.

......

The passages were filled with strange smells, dark and damp moisture, and the smell of dried animal excrement. The space was dimly lit, with only the faint glow of an oil lamp on either side of the wall.

Blown by the wind of the clouds, it seems to be swaying desperately as if it is going to be extinguished, and there is no light here all year round, and even the air is turbid.

Mu Chen always felt that there was an aura of death lingering around him. The secret passage is not about a foot high, just enough for two people to walk side by side. The deep and narrow do not know where it continues, and the twists and turns stretch like a giant mouth of the abyss.

Mu Chen walked cautiously all the way, wearing an old mother's black-clothed robe, which had been stretched open by Mu Chen, panting, and had to stop from time to time, observe vigilantly, and then continue to move forward.

"..."

"Dry.... It's a good meat, you got it there, it's delicious. A rough voice asked, slurred.

"Hehe, this is roe deer meat, I took a lot of effort to get it. A fine man, holding a large bowl of rice wine, said proudly while pouring it.

"Alas, the meat and wine are delicious, it's really good, but what's wrong with the people here, it's almost a day and they don't come to change shifts, and I don't know what time it is, I'm sleepy to death, how about we change to sleep later, anyway, there is no one else here." The rough man patted his bulging belly and complained.

"It's... If we were to be found out from above, we would be dead. The elite man put down the big bowl in his hand, wiped the grease from the corner of his mouth, and replied hesitantly.

"What are you afraid of, when we go to sleep inside, someone will make a code, wake up the other party, make up a lie and say that the other party is going to be respectful, isn't it" The rugged man waved his hand and said with a little drunkenness.

The elite man touched his head and seemed to make up his mind and said, "Okay then... Just do as you say, the code is whether you finish pulling, how about it"

"Okay... Then I'll go to the rest meeting first, hehe... The rough mine man said with a simple smile.

"You old boy, you can't suffer a loss in anything, you go first, I'll keep it. The elite man replied jokingly.

In this secret passage, Mu Chen heard the conversation between the two from afar, and he was worried about how to solve the two at once, but now he was really sleepy, and someone sent a pillow, so he couldn't help but smile slightly.

I thought I was waiting, waiting for one to sleep, and after touching the other, I thought about it, so I moved slowly forward against the wall.

"Smack... Smack..."

"Cool... After changing shifts, I'll go find Xiaohong Shuang, hehe. The elite man hummed a little song, ran to the base of the wall, and then muttered to himself with a cold shiver.

"Who..."

Before the words fell, Mu Chen dodged and hugged the thin man, the sharp knife stabbed straight at his life, the elite man raised his hand to block, and when he was about to exhale, the sharp knife cut off the throat and major artery of the thin man in a strange arc.

"Ahh

A rough man who was lying down and stretched comfortably turned over when he heard the sound, and ran out with a double hammer scolding.

"What a big dog guts, eat me with a hammer...."

The rough man was extremely manic, holding a double hammer, and slammed it at Mu Chen.

Helplessly, Mu Chen didn't know martial arts, and Mu Chen knew that he would run away if he was invincible.

"Hmph... Ignorant child, I see where you are running, taking your life..."The rough man glared angrily, panting like a cow and yelling.

Mu Chen hurriedly took out a paper bag from his arms while running, and then raised his hand, a large piece of white powder swayed out of the paper bag, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into a faint green smoke and disappeared without a trace, Mu Chen pulled up his robe and hurriedly blocked his mouth and nose.

The rough man frowned, he was a little surprised by Mu Chen's move, but he didn't think so in his heart.

"Hmph... , carving insect skills, dare to show off in front of me!" The big man snorted coldly, and he was about to catch up with Mu Chen in a few steps, and he wanted to give him a hard blow.

At this moment, Dahan felt that his vision was blurred for a while, and he felt dizzy, Dahan shook his head and beat his spirit, chased after him frantically and gave Mu Chen a hammer, and then fell to the ground with a bang, bleeding to death.

Mu Chen was hammered by the big man, and he hit his right arm firmly, his arm had been dislocated, and there were bursts of severe pain, Mu Chen let out a breath of air, sat on the ground with his buttocks, and gasped for breath, if he hadn't reacted fast enough this time, he took out Bai Ling'er and gave me five poison powder, see if it was a catastrophe.

Mu Chen now deeply understands that if you want to live here, you can't just use a little cleverness, you are not so peaceful as the previous rule of law society, in this world, you can only rely on your own strength to speak, the fittest survive, and the strong are respected.

When his heart calmed down, Mu Chen leaned against the wall, then stood up with difficulty, walked to the big man's side, kicked twice, and quickly walked a few steps away from this poisonous mist.

After a long time, there was a fork in the road, one road slowly extending upward, the other still flat forward. Mu Chen looked at the two passages and became undecided.

"White Maiden... Why didn't you tell me how to go. Mu Chen touched his dislocated arm and muttered.

"How can you blame the white girl, confused, since this is the Kuang family's escape secret passage, which leads directly to the outside of the city, then this place must not be outside the city, up, flat, alas, I am really stupid enough, I will find medicine to make up for my brain in the future." ”

After making up his mind, Mu Chen no longer hesitated, and continued to walk towards the parallel tunnel, the secret passage here, there was no oil lamp in front of him, it was pitch black, he couldn't see his fingers, Mu Chen staggered against the wall with difficulty, and from time to time he encountered his arm with a sharp pain that tortured him.

After an unknown amount of time, Mu Chen finally felt that there were steps up again.

After a few breaths, Mu Chen pushed open a cover made of wood, a little bit of light, gradually illuminated everything in front of him, this is a gap under a stone mountain outside the border city, the stone crack is not big, just melted a person through, Mu Chen struggled to climb out of the stone crack, and then covered the wooden cover.

He took a deep breath, and seemed to spit out all the chagrin in his heart, Mu Chen was very tired now, tired and painful, and some of his gray face gradually appeared with joy.

He wanted to yell "Lao Tzu is out...", but he still suppressed the excitement at this time, silently thought in his heart, and plunged into the night after thinking about it.
