Chai Zhiheng hid Ling'er in his room, told the disciples of the Huashan faction, Ling'er was too sad to go back to the house, and no one was allowed to disturb Ling'er, and privately instructed Dieyi to go to his room to serve Ling'er carefully. Dieyi stood beside the bed, holding Ling'er tightly with her right hand and covering Ling'er's mouth with her left hand. Ling'er was lying in Dieyi's arms with messy hair, clutching her life tightly with both hands, crying with tears streaming down her face. Dieyi was smart and clever, knowing that the matter that Chai Zhiheng ordered was important, so she didn't dare to comfort Ling'er out of her voice, so she could only hold Ling'er tightly in her arms and share part of Ling'er's pain with her heart. Chai Zhiheng walked outside the door of the mourning hall and instructed the disciples of Huashan to handle various things according to the funeral etiquette.

Night is quietly coming, and on a small hill at the foot of Mount Hua, several people are shuttling back and forth in the woods. Chai Zhiheng walked out of the mourning hall, went to the cafeteria, brought a lot of food, and walked straight to his bedroom. Heartbroken, Ling'er refused to eat no matter how much she persuaded her.

"Ling'er, although the head couple has passed away, their souls are watching you from the sky, they must be psychologically uncomfortable when they see you not eating or drinking, how they hope that you can live well and live to avenge them. ”

"Ling'er, Sister Dieyi is right, your parents' revenge can't be avenged, if you want to take revenge, you must first live, you better eat some food. ”

Dieyi picked up Ling'er's favorite roast chicken leg from the table and handed it to Ling'er's mouth. Ling'er opened her mouth and forced herself to eat chicken legs with difficulty swallowing. As the night deepened, Chai Zhiheng didn't let Dieyi and Ling'er go out, and let them sleep in their own beds. Chai Zhiheng sat on a chair next to the table to rest.

"Uncle Chai, you and Ling'er can sleep on the bed, let me take a nap in this chair. ”

"For us, Ling'er's life is more important than etiquette and life, Dieyi, you are now the closest person to Ling'er's heart, you sleep with Ling'er for a while, save energy and physical strength. ”

The moon hangs right in the middle of the sky, shining brightly on the earth. Chai Zhiheng opened the door gently, and after confirming that there was no one, he gently walked towards the back mountain with Dieyi and Ling'er. This small hill is located halfway up Huashan Mountain and is full of trees and weeds. Chai Zhiheng cautiously walked in front and used the sword in his hand to remove the thorns in front of him. Even so, the dense thorns scratched the three of them. Dieyi looked at the red blood marks on Ling'er's arm, and her heart was very painful. Dieyi picked up Ling'er, and Chai Zhiheng immediately asked Dieyi to put down Ling'er.

"In the days to come, she may have to experience a lot of wind and rain than this, this thorn can't bear it, what should she do in the future, what's more, we are fleeing now, every minute and second is very precious to us, you hold Ling'er, our escape speed will be much slower, it is very bad for us. ”

Dieyi put down Ling'er distressedly and followed Chai Zhiheng together. Chai Zhiheng walked to the back of the hill and stopped at a place where there were weeds that were more than one person tall. Chai Zhiheng asked the two of them to stop outside first, bent down and went into the weeds to search for something, and after a while, Chai Zhiheng came out of the weeds and called out to Dieyi and Ling'er to follow him together. After walking into the lush weeds, Chai Zhiheng gently brushed the weeds away with his hands, revealing a tunnel that only allowed one person to pass through. Chai Zhiheng asked Dieyi to jump into the tunnel first, Dieyi jumped down the tunnel according to Chai Zhiheng's instructions, and stood half-bent over at the entrance of the tunnel, Chai Zhiheng picked up Ling'er and slowly handed Ling'er to Dieyi. Ling'er saw the dark tunnel, and the fear that had been suppressed for a long time finally broke out, and she put her hands around Dieyi's neck and cried. Dieyi hurriedly covered Ling'er's mouth with her hand. Dieyi hugged Ling'er and walked down a few steps, allowing Chai Zhiheng to jump from above to the tunnel. After sending the two of them to the cave, Zhou Qinghai took away two of the torches placed in the weeds next to him, picked up a flint and steel from the ground and jumped into the cave. Chai Zhiheng lit the torch, Ling'er was hugged by Dieyi with teary eyes, and Dieyi looked at the poor Ling'er with tears in distress.

Chai Zhiheng didn't speak, put one torch on the ground, and handed the other torch to Dieyi. Zhou Qinghai stood up, stretched out his hands to the tunnel entrance, and felt a big stone outside to cover the tunnel entrance. Zhou Qinghai took the torch in Dieyi's hand, picked up the torch on the ground, picked up two torches and explored the way in front of him, after walking a few steps, the tunnel suddenly opened up, and the three people were completely free to stand in the tunnel and walk forward. Fifty years ago, when several disciples of Huashan were playing on this mountain, they found that there was a cave, and they went down to play, and found that the tunnel had been slowly extending to the foot of the mountain, and went back to tell the head of the Huashan faction. The head of the Huashan faction took precautions, and in order to prevent the disaster of Huashan from destroying the door one day, he ordered his disciples to quietly dig this tunnel leading to the foot of the cliff along the cave. In the past fifty years, only a few veterans of the Huashan faction knew about this tunnel.

When Chai Zhiheng was about to walk out of the tunnel, he asked Dieyi to put down Ling'er and rest in this cave for a while. Chai Zhiheng originally wanted to escape from Huashan as soon as possible, but when he saw the exhausted Ling'er and Dieyi, the choice in his heart was unbearable to be defeated, and he sat down to rest in a spacious place at the entrance of the tunnel. Zhou Qinghai escaped a roast chicken from a pocket he carried, handed the two chicken legs to Ling'er, and ate the rest of the chicken with Dieyi. After eating, Chai Zhiheng, Ling'er, and Dieyi drank water by the stream formed by the dripping water under the rocks. Chai Zhiheng and Ling'er walked towards the entrance of the cave, and the tunnel became very narrow again when they were about to reach the foot of the cliff. Zhou Qinghai bent down and pushed away a large stone blocking the entrance of the cave. After the three of them walked out of the tunnel, Chai Zhiheng sealed the entrance of the tunnel with a stone. At this time, the moon was already located at a forty-five degree angle in the western sky. The weeds were covered with dewdrops, and the clothes of Chai Zhiheng, Ling'er, and Dieyi were quickly soaked. The cool air penetrated into their bodies along the gap in the clothes of the three people, and the three of them shivered slightly, and walked aimlessly ahead without stopping. When the first rays of the sun shone on them, the three of them were still walking in the grass at the foot of the mountain. After Chai Zhiheng saw the sunshine in the east, he found a relatively spacious stone cave at the foot of a mountain peak. It's almost dawn now, maybe at this time Lu Pingliang or his disciples are looking for them somewhere, and now taking the road will increase their danger, and when they don't find a safe place, the three of them can only go out day and night, living a dark life.
