Xiaoyue stood behind me, "Brother Tian, actually, I have been waiting for you to ask me, but you didn't ask, so I forgot."
what?
"I thought you would care about us, but Sister Hua and I didn't know that you didn't even care about how we ran away."
I don't care? In order to enter the village to save you, I knocked down a big tree in five minutes. If I didn't care about you, would I be so desperate? But I heard that you were out of danger, and my heart was in my stomach.
I was busy with other things, so I didn’t ask you.
Xiaoyue led me to the room, walked to the low bed, and "opened it"
Open? How to open? I squatted beside the bed, grabbed the edge of the bed with my hands, and lifted it up hard. There was a hole under the bed board.
According to Xiaoyue, what happened was like this. At that time, a few of them were escorted into this room. Our two sergeants beat the two of them out. They held the pole against the door and stood guard at the door. They wanted to
They rushed in, but the arrows came from nowhere, and the two people were shot down. Xiaoyue recalled, "Later, later, your father said,"
"My father? Who is my father?"
"Later, our father said, why not block the door with the underground bed board? So, they lifted up the bed board and found a hole. We drilled along the hole and kept walking forward. We didn't go far when we came out.
Through a cave door covered with grass, we can see our two boats parked by the water."
So, this secret passage is an emergency exit left by the entire village just in case. No wonder those people tried their best to enter this house at the most critical moment.
But there is still something I don’t understand. Since this secret passage leads to the vicinity of where we parked the boat, how did the leader and his wife who had just escaped slip away from our two boats and nearly a hundred people?
I decided to walk this secret passage myself. When Xiaoyue heard this, she excitedly said, "Brother Tian, I'll lead the way."
Because she had already walked through it once, and seeing how confident she was, I didn’t think much about it. She was in front and I was behind, and we got into the hole one after the other.
This cave is not natural. It was dug out manually with shovels. It must have taken a lot of effort. We walked down step by step along the steps in the cave. After a while, the light gradually dimmed and it was dark in front of us.
one slice
However, within a few minutes, I heard Xiaoyue say: "Brother Tian, we're here."
Soon, I felt the light gradually getting brighter in front of me, so I walked to the entrance of the cave, where there were dense weeds.
I didn't think much about it, I ducked out and thought, it's unexpected that such a tunnel is both hidden and convenient.
As Xiaoyue said, this place is close to the waterside. When I turned around, I saw our two ships moored in the distance. Two of our sergeants ran over with swords and greeted me: "General Tian, what's going on?
you?"
I asked, "What is this?"
One of them said: "General Su said that this is the exit and entrance of the secret passage. Let the two of us stay here and report any movement in time."
"Oh," I gave General Su a thumbs up for his thoroughness and carefulness.
This is indeed a key place. If the water is lost, the enemy can secretly attack our village through a secret passage.
And if the enemy is in the stockade and wants to sneak attack our two ships, it will cause us a lot of passiveness.
I looked towards the boat, but there was no sign of Xiaoyue. This girl ran so fast, so I asked, "Have you seen Xiaoyue?"
"What? Xiaoyue? Did she come down with you?" They all knew about my relationship with Xiaoyue and asked me with concern.
"Yeah, didn't you see her?"
"No, General Tian, why did we lie to you?" My head buzzed, and I saw that these two sergeants didn't look like they were joking with me.
Where did Xiaoyue go? I clearly heard her say just now, "Brother Tian, we're here." Then I saw the entrance of the cave, that is, the front and rear feet.
But where did she go? Looking at the two sergeants, they are both honest and kind people. They could not lie to me or play pranks on me. Seeing that I was so anxious that my face turned red instantly, and they asked with concern:
"General Tian, you didn't lie to us? Did Xiaoyue really come in with you?"
I ignored them, turned back into the cave entrance, and walked back the way I came.
This hole is indeed not too long. It took almost as long as before, and I saw the entrance again.
But Xiaoyue is not there either
I climbed up to the entrance of the cave and ran around the village at a very fast speed, but still didn't find her. General Ji noticed that I looked wrong and asked me with concern what was going on. I told him what happened just now.
He immediately became alert and said, "Stop running around. Judging from Xiaoyue's words at that time, she didn't seem to be joking with you. The problem must be in that tunnel."
He immediately reported the situation to King Tian, and sent additional personnel to guard the exit and entrance of the tunnel. Then, General Ji and I entered the cave together.
After a while, we got out one after another, and the two sergeants on guard immediately ran over and asked with concern: "Two generals, have you found them?"
General Ji and I looked at each other, turned around and went back without saying a word.
As soon as I entered the cave, I just felt flustered. I held my hands on the cave wall and felt weak all over. I have always been a strong and calm person. At least before this moment, I always viewed myself this way.
However, my lovely Xiaoyue was right under my nose. She just finished talking to me and disappeared. She was definitely not going to visit some fun place as a guest. We have just established a foothold in this place.
, there are still too many things I don’t know
The thief leader and his wife just ran out of this tunnel. They were not discovered by the sergeant on guard outside. In other words, Xiaoyue accidentally walked the same tunnel as them.
And in the afternoon, when Xiaoyue and the others had just been kidnapped here, on the central stone platform of the front village, the greedy face of the thief leader appeared again.
General Ji held up the fire folder. He patted my shoulder to calm me down and asked me, "Tian Zong, you have to recall carefully. When she said her last words to you, how long did it take for you to get out of the cave?"
There is no need to use how long it takes to describe the time. It is obviously a matter of the front and back legs.
"So, that is to say, Xiaoyue saw the entrance of the cave first before you. She thought that the entrance of the cave was the one where she, the lady and others ran to the boat last time."
"Yeah." My mind was in chaos, but I still knew how to keep reminding myself, calm down, calm down, don't panic! General Ji said again:
"Moreover, before she saw the hole that made her go wrong, she couldn't have seen the correct hole leading to the boat... Otherwise, she wouldn't have gone wrong, at least, at least she would have stopped.
Come down and tell the difference. That way, if you are right behind her, she won't get lost... It should be you two who got lost together."
I suddenly realized it and said loudly to General Ji: "General, put out the Huozhezi!"
