Wu Guixiang looked at the dark environment and nodded timidly.

"Mom, we live here, what about you?"

"I live next door."

After speaking, Cheng Cui walked out.

Walking to the door, he turned back worriedly and warned: "Remember what I just said, stay here and rest well, no matter what happens at night, don't leave here for half a step."

After explaining, she closed the wooden door from the outside and left quickly.

Looking at the dark environment, Tian Jingui and Wu Guixiang couldn't help panicking.

"Jingui, what is this place, why does it feel so eerie?"

"do not know."

Tian Jingui had a big heart, sat down on the low wooden bed, and said, "Anyway, Mom won't harm us, we will just listen to her."

Wu Guixiang sat beside him, her simple face full of worry.

"Are we really going to leave town? This is where we've lived all our lives. If we go to the outside world, will we be able to adapt?"

Tian Jingui disagreed.

"It's better to leave early than to live a useless life here being ridiculed by others."

He lost his father since he was a child, was bullied since he was a child, and finally grew up to be a relative, and was ridiculed by his neighbors because he had no children.

He didn't have much of a good impression of this town.

Wu Guixiang knew what he was thinking, but she always felt something was wrong.

"But Jingui, don't you think it's strange? Mom never told us about leaving the town. It's too sudden to bring us here today."

"Mom has always been in charge of family affairs, and she would never discuss with us what she wants to do."

Tian Jingui lay down directly, closed his eyes and said, "Guixiang, don't think about it so much, let's rest now."

Wu Guixiang got into bed, but couldn't fall asleep.

The smell of wet earth filled the place, which made her feel very oppressed.

She clenched the quilt with both hands, feeling terrified in her heart.

……

The night is getting darker.

Huangfu Liyue felt her hands and feet being bound, and opened her eyes in pain.

What caught his eyes was an extremely dark environment.

Realizing that she was in a strange place, she immediately sat up and looked around.

It was pitch black all around, only a piece of white wax was burning on the dilapidated wooden table in front of her, barely allowing her to see the general outline of the place.

This is a closed environment, not even a window.

After looking around, she recalled what happened before.

In that alley, she was about to settle accounts with Cheng Cui, but was attracted by the blood dripping from the dagger, and then began to have a splitting headache.

She doesn't remember anything after that.

Thinking about it, Cheng Cui must have brought her here.

After sorting out her thoughts, she was about to stand up and leave, but found that her hands and feet were bound and her movements were restricted.

So, she moved slowly to the wooden table, and raised her hands to let the candle burn the rope.

The moment the rope burned, she heard footsteps outside.

The footsteps became more and more clear, obviously coming towards her.

She immediately threw the rope on the ground, stamped out the fire with her foot, picked up the rope and wrapped it around her wrist, holding the burnt end in her palm, giving the illusion that she was still bound.

After doing all this, she moved back to her original position and looked at the door warily.

A few seconds passed.

Cheng Cui pushed open the simple wooden door and walked in with a food box.

Seeing that Huangfu Liyue had woken up, not only did she not panic, but she showed a weird smile.

"woke up?"

Huangfu Liyue looked up at her and asked, "Where is this?"

Cheng Cui came to her, knelt down, and took out the food from the food box one by one.

The two are very close, Huangfu Liyue can catch Cheng Cui just by raising her hand.

Just when she was about to make a move, Cheng Cui replied, "This is a very hidden place, and no one in the entire ancient town knows about it except me."

These words made Huangfu Liyue stop her movements and gave up the idea of ​​capturing her.

She still doesn't know where this is and whether there is any potential danger. If Cheng Cui is captured like this, with Cheng Cui's character, he would rather die here with her than tell her the way out.

So, she decided to take a look at the situation first.

"Why did you bring me here? Want to kill someone?"

"Murder and kill?"

Cheng Cui chuckled: "Am I so vicious?"

Huangfu Liyue gave her a supercilious look, letting her experience it for herself.

Cheng Cui smiled again.

"Don't worry, I didn't intend to kill people. If I wanted to kill you, I would have done it in that alley. Why did I need to take so much trouble to bring you here?"

"Then what do you want to do?"

Cheng Cui's eyes moved to her belly, and she reached out to stroke her stomach.

"It took me so much effort to get you here, of course I wanted to take something from you."

Huangfu Liyue glanced at her stomach and suddenly had a bad feeling.

"What do you want from me?"

Just as Cheng Cui was about to speak, a baby's cry came.

The sound is not loud and echoes.

Cheng Cui's face changed suddenly, she stood up immediately, and said fiercely: "Eat these things quickly, I'll come back later!"

After leaving these words, she walked out quickly.

It wasn't until the sound of footsteps outside disappeared that Huangfu Liyue took off the rope from his wrist.

Looking at the food on the ground, her stomach growled.

After thinking about it, she took out the silver needle from her belt and inserted it into the meal.

The silver needle didn't change color, so she picked up the chopsticks and ate a couple of casual bites, recovering some strength.

During this period, the baby cried intermittently, which sounded very miserable and frightening.

After eating, she untied the rope on her feet and stood up while leaning on the wall.

The moment she touched the wall, she felt a lot of dry soil on her hands, but upon closer inspection, she found that the wall was actually made of hard soil.

Looking at the closed environment again, she immediately realized that this was not an ordinary house at all, but a developed cave!

According to her understanding, the ancient town of Taoyuan is not backed by mountains. Such a big cave must be far away from the ancient town.

She took a deep breath to calm herself down.

Listening to the baby crying from time to time, she opened the wooden door and walked out.

Seeing the outside environment, she was stunned for a long time.

In front of her were two holes leading in different directions, and the insides were pitch-black, as if they were the mouth of an abyss, ready to swallow her up at any time.

She hesitated, not knowing which direction to go.

After some thought, she picked up the stones at her feet, followed the intermittent baby's voice, and chose one of the paths.

After stepping into one of the caves, she moved her steps slowly, and every time she walked a certain distance, she would use a stone to mark the last time, so as not to get lost.

As the minutes passed, the baby's cries grew closer and the path began to light up.

On the walls on both sides, there is a lit candle at intervals.
