Zuo Yingfang's expression suddenly froze. She reached out and pulled down the swaddling cloth. After seeing the child's face clearly, she immediately covered her mouth and her eyes suddenly turned red.

"This is Ke'er, my fourth uncle's child... You just said that my fourth aunt..."

Fan Ming shook his head helplessly, "Unfortunately, I couldn't save her... When I arrived, she had been killed by the Black Tiger Gang..."

He told a small lie. In fact, when the woman was killed, he watched the whole process. If the Black Tiger Gang man hadn't been so crazy about attacking the child, he would have done it.

Out of compassion, Fan Ming was too lazy to take action.

After Zuo Yingfang listened to Fan Ming's words, her eyes suddenly became moist. She knew that many people would die at the hands of the Black Tiger Gang in this catastrophe, but when she heard that a close relative had passed away, she still didn't

Can control the sadness in my heart.

Seeing this, Su Biqing on the side slowly approached, hugged Zuo Yingfang into her arms, and comforted:

"Miss, don't be too sad...the most important thing now is to take care of the hospitable young master..."

Hearing this, Zuo Yingfang stretched out her hand to wipe her tears, looked down at the baby in her arms, and saw his cute sleeping appearance, her mood eased a little.

Zuo Yingfang still liked this little cousin very much. She used to take care of this child for her fourth uncle and aunt, so she could recognize him immediately.

Thinking of this, Zuo Yingfang hugged the baby in her arms tighter, thinking that she must return the guest to her fourth uncle.

At this moment, Fan Ming's ears moved slightly, as if he heard something. He turned to Zuo Yingfang and Su Biqing and said, "We can't stay here for long, someone is approaching here!"

Upon hearing this, Zuo Yingfang and Su Biqing were both a little flustered. They had just been blocked in this alley by two members of the Black Tiger Gang, and they were still a little worried.

Fan Ming asked: "Miss Zuo, is there any safe place in your home? If so, you'd better go there as soon as possible, otherwise if you run into too many people from the Black Tiger Gang later, I don't know if I can protect you.

I need you to be considerate."

For now, Fan Ming is able to protect himself. Even if he encounters a master warrior, he may not be incapable of fighting, but it would be hard to say if he has to distract himself from protecting two women who have no fighting ability.

Hearing this, Zuo Yingfang was suddenly stunned for a moment, then nodded sharply, "Yes, I remember my father said that there is a secret passage at home that leads to the outside of the city."

"Where is that?" Fan Ming's eyes lit up. If there was a secret passage, it would be easy. He could save a lot of effort.

Zuo Yingfang replied: "It's not far from here..."

At this point, she paused, bit her lip in embarrassment, and then continued: "Brother Fan, can you please escort us there?"

In fact, Zuo Yingfang also practiced internal martial arts. After all, she was born in a martial arts family. Unfortunately, Zuo Yingfang, a "tiger father and a dog daughter", failed to inherit her father's martial arts talent. In fact, her talent can be said to be quite poor.

Yes, I practiced for several years but failed to reach the level of a third-rate martial artist. Later, because I knew it would be difficult to achieve success in martial arts, I gave up.

So although she still has some inner strength, she actually can't even defeat a stronger ordinary man, let alone face other warriors.

I don't know where the Black Tiger Gang will appear. They have no ability to protect themselves and can only ask for help from others.

Fan Ming was silent for a while after listening. Zuo Yingfang's cheeks turned red, and she thought to herself that she was really shameless. She had just saved her life, but she still asked others for help before she could repay her.

Thinking of this, Zuo Yingfang wanted to change her mind and say no.

But before she could speak, Fan Ming suddenly replied: "Okay!"

Zuo Yingfang's eyes suddenly lit up, "Is it really possible?"

Fan Ming nodded, "That's what I originally planned... But what surprised me was that you actually asked. I originally thought that ladies from wealthy families were more willful..."

Zuo Yingfang pouted and whispered: "That's not true..."

◇◇◇

The specific location of the secret passage Zuo Yingfang mentioned was actually the ancestral hall of the Zuo family.

There is also an ancestral hall in Fanjia Village, but it is somewhat insignificant compared to Zuojia's ancestral hall.

The entire ancestral hall of this wealthy family is made of precious wood, with a solemn style and exquisite details.

Fan Ming couldn't help but look at the appearance of the ancestral hall, and then followed Zuo Yingfang into her ancestral hall.

As a woman, Zuo Yingfang is not qualified to enter the ancestral hall according to traditional etiquette. However, because she is the only daughter of the family head and is quite favored, she has actually entered the ancestral hall several times, so she is not familiar with the scene inside the ancestral hall.

Strange.

As soon as she entered the door, Zuo Yingfang walked towards a lamp hanging on the wall on the right side of the ancestral hall.

She reached out and grabbed the lampshade and gently turned it a few times. Suddenly, the whole ancestral hall made a "click, click, click" sound. Although the sound was not loud, it was extremely harsh.

The next second, in the middle of the ancestral hall, the altar enshrining the ancestors’ tablets suddenly moved!

Soon, a dark passage gradually appeared behind the altar.

Fan Ming walked towards the passage curiously, but before he stepped into the passage, Fan Ming discovered something unusual.

This passage must not have been opened for a long time. Fan Ming could smell an obvious old smell, but there were many fresh footprints on the ground of this passage.

Fan Ming turned around and asked, "Miss Zuo, how many people in your family know about this secret passage?"

Zuo Yingfang recalled it and replied: "In addition to me and my father, there should be a few uncles and uncles who know about this place."

"That makes sense." Fan Ming said to Zuo Yingfang: "This passage should have been opened by seniors not long ago. Look! There are many fresh footprints on the ground."

Zuo Yingfang leaned over and took a closer look, a flash of surprise flashed in her eyes, "That must be Fourth Uncle and the others! Let's go in quickly!"

After saying that, she walked into the secret passage first.

Then there is Su Biqing.

Fan Ming stood at the entrance of the secret passage, with a strange look in his eyes, thinking, why does he always feel that something is not right?

But he thought for a moment and couldn't think of a reason, so he followed into the secret passage.

After the three of them entered the secret passage, Zuo Yingfang did not forget to close the entrance to the secret passage. She groped on the wall for a while, and she didn't know what mechanism had been touched. The newly opened entrance was closed again.
Chapter completed!
