Chapter 021: Clues

Zhang Xin only felt that there was wind in his ears, and the falling speed was getting faster and faster. Involuntarily lucky, his hands reached out on the wall of the cave, trying to slow down the fall.

The already injured hands were violently scratched by the wall at this time

After a while, only a muffled sound of "bang" was heard, and Zhang Xin fell to the ground.

After landing on the ground, Zhang Xin groped on the wall for a while, his fingers were stained with something sticky, and when he got it in front of him, he smelled it and recognized it as lamp oil. He took out the bamboo and lit the oil lamp with a bang.

With the help of the light, Zhang Xin found that the cave was unremarkable, but there was another passage connected, and the passage was long and could not be seen.

After confirming that there was no danger, Zhang Xin moved some sharp stones from the bottom of the cave. When everything was ready, he shouted upwards: "Miss, please come down, there is no danger." ”

Cheng Xue squatted down and picked up the dagger, half-held the dagger, stuck the dagger into the wall, and slowly fell. Unfortunately, when he was about to land, the cave wall was poked by the sword handle and slipped off. Cheng Xue didn't have time to adjust her posture and landed straight in the crook of Zhang Xin's arm......

Cheng Xue saw Zhang Xin's concerned gaze and stood up embarrassedly. He patted the dirt on his body and said, "You're all right." ”

Zhang Xin put his hands behind his back and replied stupidly: "Miss is fine...... if you have nothing to do."

Sensing Zhang Xin's movements, Cheng Xue grabbed Zhang Xin's hands. Spreading out the palm of his hand, he saw that all the skin on his fingers had been wiped off, and the wound on the palm cut by the sword was mixed with dirt and blood, which was shocking and shocking.

Cheng Xue tore off the veil on her face and split it into two. Carefully bandage Zhang Xin.

Watching Cheng Xue carefully bandage herself, Zhang Xin was happy. I forgot about the pain and just giggled......

After the bandage, I saw Zhang Xin looking at himself with a smirk, "What are you smiling at?"

"Nothing, nothing......" Zhang Xin was still giggling

In order to avoid embarrassment again, Cheng Xue turned her head to check the situation in the cave. After discovering the secret passage, he picked up the fire extinguisher in Zhang Xin's hand and lit it on the oil lamp. He said, "It is impossible to go up, and see where this secret passage leads." ”

So Zhang Xin followed Cheng Xue and walked to the depths of the secret passage one after the other.

The secret passage is fortunate that there is no fork in the road. It's just winding underground, quite long. I found oil lamps from time to time along the way, and lit them along the way.

Zhang Xin looked at Cheng Xue's back, only hoping that this secret passage would never come to an end, and the two of them walked down forever without realizing that their hands were still dripping blood.

After a long time, there was a glimmer of light in front of me, and the secret passage should have come to an end.

At the entrance of the cave, they found a trail of footprints. The footprints seem to be just one person. According to the analysis of the newness of the footprints, this person should have been away for only three days.

The two searched carefully for a long time, but found nothing else. I had to go out of the cave. Picking away some of the weeds that were used as a cover-up, the two jumped out of the hole. Taking a deep breath, he realized that the entrance to the cave was already outside Rongcheng.

Look back at this tunnel. Cheng Xue thought to herself: "Such a big project, but she doesn't know anything about it in Rongcheng, which shows that the Tang family's methods are ......."

When the two of them walked out of the secret passage, it was already noon the next day. Cheng Xue was worried about going home to report, so she wanted to go back with Zhang Xin. Zhang Xin was a little reluctant, and turned his head to look at the entrance of the cave blankly. Suddenly, a faint trace of black gas floated out! and disappeared at a very fast speed.

Zhang Xin's heart was shocked, "This black gas is exactly the same as the black gas emitted from Xiaoxiao's body that day......

Cheng Xue saw that Zhang Xin was not leaving, so she turned around and asked, "What's wrong with you......"

"It's nothing, I just think that someone from the Tang family must have escaped from here, but I don't know if it's Tang Zi?"

"It's not too early, let's go back and report it quickly. ”

In the afternoon of the same day, the two washed all the dirt on their bodies and reported to Cheng Ao. just said that Tang Zi's torn clothes and secret passages were discovered, and as for the scene where he fell into the cave with Zhang Xin, he didn't mention anything.

Cheng Ao said: "Xue'er is hard. In addition, Zhang Xin, you protect Miss Injury, and you will make a temporary credit. Shall you go down?"

After Cheng Xue and Zhang Xin went out, Cheng Ao touched his chin and said to himself coldly: "The fish that slipped through the net ......"

That night, Zhang Xin remembered the situation between him and Cheng Xue in the cave. Thinking of the black gas again, I can't figure out if it has something to do with Xiaoxiao. Tossing and turning in bed......

There is another person who also can't sleep, and that is Cheng Xue......

Precisely:

Trapped in the cave at the bottom of the house,

It happened to be made in heaven.

The affairs of men and women in the world,

I can't sleep tonight.

On the second day, Zhang Xin got up early and wanted to continue to comprehend the fourth form of "let the world" in the room, but he was so preoccupied that he couldn't concentrate at all. I had to go out to breathe. As I walked, I came to Aunt Zhang's kitchen, and I felt funny, so I pushed the door in.

The eldest lady was preparing a breakfast, and when she saw him coming, she teased: "Baby apprentice, you can come to see the master." I heard that you went out with Miss to investigate the Tang family a few days ago. What a rare opportunity...... Is there a "harvest"?

As soon as the word "harvest" came out, Aunt Zhang's eyebrows rose for a while. Zhang Xin was stunned and didn't have time to answer.

"What a gain, stinky boy! So, I put down the work in my hand and came over with a kitchen knife......

Aunt Zhang looked at Zhang Xin directly, wanting to dig something out of his eyes. Seeing that his heart was weak for a while, he lowered his head with a red face and said, "No...... There's nothing to do, the master is too worried......"

"I didn't even ask what I had gained, what are you doing with a blushing face......

Zhang Xin didn't dare to look at the eldest lady, and looked down at the floor silently. I couldn't spit out a word for a long time.

Aunt Zhang felt bored, "If you don't say it, you won't say it, you're embarrassed, as if there is really such a thing......"

It's not that he doesn't say it, it's just that Zhang Xin himself can't figure out what kind of relationship Zhang Xin and Cheng Xue have between Zhang Xin and Cheng Xue from what happened in the cave that night to the present......

Aunt Zhang chopped the board so that it sounded "dong, dong", and said to herself: "Look at you like that, you are as red as the raw pork on this top board, and you say it's okay......"

Zhang Xin was silent for a moment and said, "It's just ...... Master...... There is still something unclear in the disciple's mind. ”

Aunt Zhang chopped the meat and replied boringly: "Say ......"

"The day before yesterday, I went to Tang's house to investigate, and I found a trace of breath in the secret passage. It was exactly the same as the "black gas" emitted by the Phantom Sect's small body during the competition that day. However, the head of the family himself said that the Phantom Sect was invited by him. This is mysterious, and the disciples are puzzled......"

Aunt Zhang heard the bad news. walked up to Zhang Xin at a gallop and covered his mouth. Vigilantly: "Boy, do you want to die?"

Zhang Xin was speechless in surprise when he saw his aunt behaving like this.

Aunt Zhang looked around vigilantly and carefully closed the doors and windows. He whispered to Zhang Xin: "Disciple! This matter is very important. Does Miss know?"

"I haven't told Miss yet......"

"Well, God knows this, you know and I know, and you can't let others know about it. You don't know the world, you don't know the mystery. Although you and I are different from ordinary servants in the Cheng family, we are not members of the Cheng family after all, and we have no blood relationship. So when it is critical, they can treat us like ants and mustards at any time, and kill us quickly. Do you understand?"

"I understand, it's just that Miss treats me well on weekdays, so she can be regarded as her own person, right?"

Aunt Zhang waved her hand: "Cheng Xue, although I brought it up single-handedly. But the mind is becoming more and more sophisticated. Sometimes, even I can't figure out what she's thinking...... To be on the safe side, don't tell her as well".

"That's right...... The apprentice knew ......" and immediately understood something, and continued: "The apprentice has affected the master......"

Aunt Zhang sighed lightly, "Apprentice, as a teacher, you are still the same sentence, your heart is too kind......"

When Zhang Damiang was talking to Zhang Xin, he didn't know that the wall had ears, and Cheng Ao had been secretly sending people to spy on Zhang Xin, and overheard the conversation......

That night, this person reported Zhang Xin's discovery of the Phantom Sect to Cheng Ao in a hurry.

Cheng Ao sat on the chair, smiled coldly, and beat the iron in his hand loudly, "I know, you have made a great contribution this time, I will give you a treasure as a reward, come with me!"

When the man heard that there was a treasure reward, he laughed with joy. followed Cheng Ao into the basement.

When the door of the basement was closed, Cheng Ao suddenly rolled out the iron in his hand and pierced through the man's skull, leaving only two terrifying blood holes. Cheng Ao put his palm on the man again, and the corpse quickly dried up, leaving only some clothes in the end.

Wiped the blood stains on the wall casually, Cheng Ao read coldly: "Zhang Fuhong, Zhang Xin...... Hey...... Hey hey ......"
