"Please wait!" Wei Rou saw that the two were about to leave, and shouted anxiously. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"How?"

Wei Rou rubbed the placket of her clothes with both hands, bit her lower lip with her teeth, looked at Ye Cheng and Zhong Qing, and slowly lowered her head.

"If the little girl said it, the two of you must ..... You must promise me one thing!" Although Wei Rou was still hesitant in her heart at this time, she felt that Ye Cheng and Zhong Qing's words were not unreasonable.

"But it doesn't hurt to say, girl. Ye Cheng arched his hand.

"This matter is really important, it's not that the little girl can't believe in the two, but if you make an oath in front of me, I ...... I dare tell you. Wei Rou stared at Ye Cheng with her dark eyes, her eyes revealing expectations and requests.

Ye Cheng's heart was churning, she knew that such a girl said such a thing, which proved that she wanted to tell her heart and mind, and she had already given the other party great trust.

Ye Cheng did not hesitate and swore to the sky.

Wei Rou slowly moved her gaze to Zhong Qing's side again.

Zhong Qing pointed to his nose in surprise and asked, "Do you even have to swear by me?"

Wei Rou nodded embarrassedly.

Zhong Qing sighed and said: "I always need to help people and ask others, but now it's good, we are begging others to let us help her, it's just that, who let me Zhong Qing be a good brother with an old way." ”

Ye Cheng smiled beside him, knowing that Zhong Qing was just a knife-mouthed tofu heart, and he believed that Zhong Qing was actually kinder than him in his heart.

After Zhong Qing swore an oath, Wei Rou said quietly: "In the southeast corner of Dazhai on the island, there is a dilapidated old house, where someone needs help, but please promise Wei Rou, no matter what you see and what happens in the future, don't hurt my father Wei Chong, he must be a ghost to ...... like this."

"Miss Wei, who are you saving?" Ye Cheng asked puzzled.

"Don't ask, you go and know, don't be careful. Wei Rou suddenly covered her face with her hands in pain and wept, her cry pierced the silence of the night, and her body suddenly trembled violently, like waves surging behind her, uncontrollable.

Ye Cheng knew that he couldn't ask anymore, he nodded, and then pulled Zhong Qing to turn around and leave.

Zhong Qing glanced back at Wei Rou, and a trace of regret welled up in her heart, what did she go through that made her so miserable?

"Please keep your promises!"

Ye Cheng and Zhong Qing walked into the dense forest, and Wei Rou's pleading and crying voices came from behind them.

"Dad, forgive my daughter! But there's no other way for my daughter......"

The lush and vast Chongming dense forest, as far as the eye can see, occasionally from the dense branches and leaves of the moonlight, because of the clouds from time to time and appear impermanent, like a pair of gentle giant hands, quietly brushing aside the leaves and branches, from time to time to send in some flickering light.

Ye Cheng and Zhong Qing were blessed to absorb the beauty of this moonlight, and they were both thinking about what Wei Rou had said in their hearts.

If a man does not speak, time feels long. When Ye Cheng and Zhong Qing crept to the southeast corner of Dazhai, more than an hour had passed, and the two of them in the woods looked carefully, but they saw a small gate in the southeast corner, and the two minions were patrolling there weakly, looking bored.

Ye Cheng lowered his voice in the dense forest and said: "Qing'er, it's dangerous, we don't know the situation inside, you'd better wait here, let me go and find out first." ”

"Brother Ye, what are you talking about, although Qing'er's martial arts are not high, she must not watch you walk into the Longtan Tiger's Den alone. Zhong Qing said unhappily.

Ye Cheng had no choice but to instruct: "Okay, you wait here first, and then we will enter Dazhai after I pack up these two minions." ”

I saw Ye Cheng say that, slowly lowered his body and slowly approached the two minions guarding the village. It was already late at night, how could the two of them have expected that someone else would suddenly appear at this time, already drowsy.

Seeing that Ye Cheng had come closer, the two were still unaware, Ye Cheng took advantage of the fact that one person turned around, and jumped behind the other, and hit the occipital bone point behind his head with lightning speed, the man snorted lightly and fell to the ground with a thud. When the other person just turned around, he happened to see his companion suddenly to the end, and saw a person standing under the moonlight, he was immediately taken aback, and just about to shout, Ye Cheng arrived beside him, turned his hands into palms, slapped the person on the neck, and suddenly fainted.

Ye Chenggang wanted to call Zhong Qing in the dense forest, but found that Zhong Qing was already standing beside him, and couldn't help but say: "Didn't you tell you to wait first, in case there is any ambush here, wouldn't you suffer a big loss?"

Zhong Qing pursed her lips and smiled: "With you, Qing'er has nothing to be afraid of." ”

Ye Cheng shook his head helplessly, signaling to stop making a sound, and Zhong Qing also put his index finger on his lips and made a silent posture.

The two pushed open the hidden gate, went inside, and searched around in the moonlight, and sure enough, they found the dilapidated hut that Wei Rou said in the most inconspicuous place in the southeasternmost corner.

But I saw that this hut was covered with green vines and overgrown with weeds underneath, obviously it had been abandoned for a long time. Zhong Qing couldn't help but be curious: "That girl is really interesting, why did you let us find a dilapidated house, no one took care of it at first glance, so boring." ”

Ye Chengzheng said: "Looking at that girl's look and demeanor, it will not be so simple to decide, Dai has not been accounted for so far, and it is unknown that he may also be taken captive and hidden in it." ”

"You said that Grandpa Dai would be locked up here, then you mean that the people on the island kidnapped Grandpa Dai?" Zhong Qing said with wide eyes.

Ye Cheng muttered: "I'm just guessing, no matter what, maybe you'll be able to see you after you go in." ”

Immediately, the two of them tentatively pushed the door, only to hear a squeak, the door opened, it turned out that the wooden house had been abandoned for a long time, and there was no bolt on the door.

After the two entered, they saw that it was as dark as a deep well in a cave, and it was difficult to see the five fingers when they stretched out their hands, and a damp breath came to their faces, making people feel damp and hot. Ye Cheng took out the fire from his body and lit it, and checked the situation in the house by the light of the fire.

The fire folded in the room and scattered an unstable light, and the two of them took advantage of the fire to see that there was not much furnishings in the hut, and the corners of the walls were covered with silver cobwebs, which swayed gently with the breeze of the door, and in the northwest corner of the room was a lame wooden table, covered with dust, and on the opposite side of it was a high chair with some leaves scattered on it, which was obviously also abandoned for a long time.

Ye Cheng brought the firelight close to the wall again, but saw that the logs were already covered with moss, glowing green in the firelight, and there were still some small insects swimming quickly on it from time to time, obviously frightened by the light.

"Qing'er, it seems that this place has been abandoned for a long time, but I don't see any clues. Ye Cheng shook his head helplessly.

"Needless to say, Qing'er saw that this place had been abandoned for a long time before she came in, and I wonder if that girl has some problems with her senses, and she said that such a place would entertain us. Zhong Qingqian covered her mouth, obviously unwilling to stay in this messy place any longer.

Ye Cheng was also very disappointed in his heart, thinking that maybe it was indeed as Zhong Qing said, that girl Wei Rou must have suffered some blow, so she was incoherent, but the two of them ran around in vain, and now they did not find Dai Sigong, but wasted a lot of time.

When Ye Cheng was depressed, he suddenly heard Zhong Qing's voice: "Brother Ye, what do you think it is?"

Ye Cheng raised his head and slowly moved forward in the direction of Zhong Qing's finger, but saw that there were scratches on the wall above the abandoned high chair, and there were more than a hundred of them.

"What does this mean?" Ye Cheng was puzzled and looked at Zhong Qing.

"You ask me, but who am I going to ask?, do you want to ask Master Spider?" Zhong Qing smiled helplessly.

"Where is the old man, how do you ask him?" Ye Cheng was puzzled.

"Hey, isn't this just there to keep watching?" Zhong Qing pointed to the spider web high in the corner of the wall, and Ye Cheng realized that Zhong Qing was joking with himself, and the old man was talking about spiders.

But Ye Cheng suddenly seemed to have discovered something, and slowly moved closer to the spider web.

Zhong Qing covered her mouth and smiled: "Brother Ye, you are really interesting, I asked you to ask Master Spider, do you really want to ask? Okay, it depends on whether he should or not you." ”

Ye Cheng didn't speak, waved his hand to signal Zhong Qing to come over, Zhong Qing approached curiously, but saw that on the side of the spider web, dozens of vertical lines were also engraved, just like the scratches just now.

"It's really strange, is there not only the spider master in this house, but also the cat master?" Zhong Qing said with his head tilted.

"No way, how can a cat make such a regular scratch. Ye Cheng seemed to realize something.

At this time, a sudden gust of wind blew in, and the door of the room swayed back and forth like a waterwheel pedal, and the moonlight took the opportunity to slip into the house, illuminating the figures of the two people in the room up and down, and the fire bent into the wind, swaying violently, like a maid in a fierce dance. The cobwebs were no longer resting on the wall, puffing up and tightening at the touch of the wind, as if they would break off at the slightest touch. The spider sleeping on it was like a boatman desperately bracing the rudder in the waves, pulling the webs with all his might, so that his home would not be destroyed by this unreasonable wind.

"Knock...... Knock knock. ”

"Knock...... Knock knock. ”

At this time, the two of them seemed to hear a sound of knocking from under their feet, under the ground.

Zhong Qing was a little girl after all, and at this time, she couldn't help but be frightened, and hurried to Ye Cheng with an arrow step, grabbing Ye Cheng's arm tightly with both hands, and couldn't help shaking.

"Brother Ye, Qing'er thinks...... I think we'd better go back to the ship. Zhong Qing said with a trembling voice.

Ye Cheng put his hand on the back of Zhong Qing's hand and patted it a few times as a comfort, then squatted down, folded the fire close to the ground, and examined it carefully.

Seeing this, Zhong Qing was about to make a little temperament, when he suddenly saw Ye Cheng grab Zhong Qing's hand and said in a deep voice: "Qing'er, listen!"

"Knock...... Knock knock. ”

It's the voice again!

At this time, Zhong Qing felt that the hairs on his body had stood up, Ye Cheng listened to the voice, and gently tapped the wooden board on the ground with the back of his hand, and suddenly when he knocked under the table with the broken leg, he found that there was a crisp echo, which was very different from other places!

"It's empty here!" Ye Cheng said in surprise suddenly.

Zhong Qing said in a trembling voice: "It's empty, let's go, Brother Ye......" Zhong Qing was afraid that Ye Cheng would pry up the floor, in case some demons and monsters took the opportunity to climb up, he had to scare himself to death.

But contrary to his wishes, Ye Chengzhen straightened up and slowly moved the table away. When Ye Cheng looked closely, he saw that there was a dark yellow copper ring at the joint between the floor and the wall, and it would be difficult to find it if he didn't look at it intentionally.

Ye Cheng immediately thought: "Could it be that there is really something hidden here?

Ye Cheng's heart also rose to his throat at this time, he handed the fire fold to Zhong Qing, slowly reached out his hand, and began to turn the copper ring.

Zhong Qing watched Ye Cheng turn the copper ring, and felt that the fire in his hand at this time was full of weight, and he couldn't breathe when he pressed his heart.

Suddenly, only the rattling of the copper ring was heard, and then there was a click, and the copper ring was lifted by Ye Cheng, and a gap appeared on the ground.

"It's a cellar!" Zhong Qing exclaimed, feeling all the pores on her body open and her hairs stand on end.

Ye Cheng took a deep breath and slowly pulled up the copper ring, and then a wooden board like a cauldron lid was lifted, revealing a black pressed cellar.

Ye Cheng took the fire fold from Zhong Qing's shaky hand and shone it inside, but Zhong Qing was so frightened that he covered his eyes, but he couldn't resist the curiosity, so his fingers opened a gap in front of his eyes, his eyes looked at Ye Cheng through the gap, and asked in a trembling voice: "Brother Ye, is Grandpa Dai inside?"

Zhong Qing had already thought about it, if something was crawling out of it, she would run by herself, but she felt as if her legs were nailed to the plank, and it was difficult to move a step.

At this time, looking at Ye Cheng again, he saw the situation under the floor through the light of the fire, and the whole person instantly seemed to be petrified, and he was motionless there. Seeing this, Zhong Qing jumped up anxiously: "Brother Ye, what the hell is inside!"
