The position of the tablet is a bit messy, and there is no pattern at all.

He studied it for a long time, but he still didn't understand the mystery.

Gradually, the sky darkened.

Meng Gang's men were sweating profusely from exhaustion, but the wall was only fragmentary, with only damage the size of a fingernail.

"Brother Meng, this stone wall is made of a special material and is too hard. We have limited tools. At this speed, we don't know how long it will take to break through the stone wall."

Meng Gang stroked the stone wall, and after confirming that the wall was not hard enough to be opened with tools, he turned and looked at Mu Jingchen.

"Mr. Mu, judging from the current situation, it seems impossible to dig through this wall."

Mu Jingchen didn't speak, but stared at the tablet table solemnly, thoughtful.

Seeing that he was silent, Meng Gang stepped forward and asked, "Mr. Mu, have you found out where the agency is?"

"No."

Mu Jingchen frowned, showing worry.

Meng Gang looked around the room, wondering: "As far as I know, Cheng Cui is just a peasant woman, how can there be a secret passage in this house?"

Mu Jingchen didn't answer.

He wasn't curious about these things, he was thinking about Liyue's safety with all his heart.

Cheng Cui's mind is vicious, and Liyue will definitely be in danger if she falls into her hands.

Seeing that it was getting dark, Meng Gang suggested: "Mr. Mu, you have been here all afternoon, go and have something to eat first, I'll let someone stay here."

Mu Jingchen shook his head calmly: "I'm not hungry."

Later, he picked up a small half of a brick from the yard, and drew a picture on the stone wall according to the position of the tablet on the table.

"Mr. Mu, then I'll take my brother to have dinner first, and look for Cheng Cui's family by the way."

Meng Gang knew that he was worried about his wife, so he didn't try to persuade him anymore, and left first after saying hello.

……

The night is getting darker.

Mu Jingchen lit a candle in the room.

Under the faint light of the white candle, he drew a pattern according to the position of the altar table.

But no matter from which point of view, this pattern is no problem.

He began to wonder if he was thinking in the wrong direction, so he threw away the small brick in his hand, and returned his gaze to the tablet table.

These tablets should be engraved with the names of the elders of Cheng Cui's family, some with the surname of Tian, ​​and some with other surnames.

When he wondered whether the Secret Path Agency had anything to do with these, footsteps came from the door.

"Boss Mu!"

Lin Ze walked in with someone from the outside.

Mu Jingchen's thoughts were interrupted, and his attention turned to Lin Ze.

"When did you arrive?"

"Half an hour ago, I found Officer Meng based on the address you told me before. It was Officer Meng who told me you were here, so I hurried over here."

Mu Jingchen nodded and said nothing.

Lin Ze looked around the dark room and continued, "Mr. Mu, I heard from Police Officer Meng that Madam is missing?"

Mu Jingchen frowned and nodded again.

"Originally, I brought Liyue here to relax, but I never thought that I would meet a villain, and it would be impossible to guard against."

"Mr. Mu, where is the lady now?"

Mu Jingchen stared at the thick stone wall: "If I'm not mistaken, if you open this wall, you can find Liyue."

After finishing speaking, he immediately ordered Lin Ze: "Take someone to find some hard tools, and try to see if you can cut through this wall."

"Yes, I'll go right away!"

Lin Ze responded, turned around and was about to leave, but was stopped by Mu Jingchen again.

"and many more."

Mu Jingchen motioned him to look at the tablet table.

"Write down the names on these tablets and find out their relationship."

"Yes!"

After Lin Ze left, Mu Jingchen sighed silently.

It's been so long, and I don't know what happened to Liyue.

The restlessness in his heart could not be calmed down for a long time.

……

the other side.

Huangfu Liyue was still in a coma.

To be precise, she is now in a state of half-consciousness and half-awake.

In the process of falling asleep, she could feel the heavy weight in her head, and there was a clear voice of conversation in her ears.

"Mom, where is this place? Why did you bring me and Guixiang here?"

The speaker was Tian Jingui.

Looking at the dark environment, he asked Cheng Cui with a look of fear.

Cheng Cui unhurriedly lit two candles.

Under the illumination of candlelight, the environment here is clear in their sight.

This is a high and spacious cave, which still has the items needed for basic living.

To Tian Jingui's question, Cheng Cui only replied: "This is a very safe place."

Tian Jingui glanced at Huangfu Liyue who was sleeping on the ground, then at the oppressive environment, and asked in confusion, "Mom, why did you bring us here and this girl?"

Cheng Cui looked at the doubt in his son's eyes and explained: "These years, our family has not lived happily in this ancient town. Mom has long wanted to move you out of here and settle outside, but I have never found a chance. .”

"Going to settle outside?"

Tian Jingui was very surprised: "But our family's ancestors have lived in the ancient town for generations. Will we be able to adapt to the outside world?"

"Yes, Mom, let's go back!"

Wu Guixiang followed suit and retreated.

Cheng Cui gave her an angry look.

"If you want to go back, go back by yourself, don't delay me taking my son to enjoy the blessing!"

Wu Guixiang immediately faltered.

Tian Jingui was full of doubts.

"Mom, even if we want to move out of the ancient town, why don't we leave in a dignified manner, instead come to this dark cave?"

"This is the shortcut left by our ancestors. After leaving this cave and crossing a big river, we can leave the ancient town directly, which can save a lot of trouble."

This reason barely convinced him.

Wu Guixiang answered, "But Mom, we didn't prepare anything, so we left like this, isn't it too sudden?"

"Since I plan to take you away, I have already prepared it long ago, so you don't need to worry about it."

Wu Guixiang and Tian Jingui glanced at each other.

They all thought it was too sudden, but Cheng Cui was the head of the family on weekdays, so they didn't dare to say anything.

After accepting this fact, Wu Guixiang's eyes gradually shifted to Huangfu Liyue.

"Mom, then this girl, why did you bring her here?"

Cheng Cui glanced at Huangfu Liyue and explained: "Her husband was arrested for killing Dr. Ding. I feel sorry for her and plan to take her away together."

To prevent them from asking more questions, Cheng Cui went on to say: "Okay, it's getting late, you guys stay here for one night first, and we will continue on our way tomorrow."

After speaking, she led the way, and Tian Jingui and his wife followed behind.

This cave is very long, with many compartments opened in the middle.

Cheng Cui took them to one of them, and said: "This is a deep mountain and old forest, there may be some strange birds and animals calling at night, you should stay here and rest, remember, no matter what sounds you hear, don't Get out of this room."
