The Qiang people's secret medicine was really powerful. Lin Xiao watched helplessly as a hole the size of a bowl was melted into the iron door lock, and the hole was still expanding silently.And this happened in just a moment.

Lin Xiao's expression became serious again. He covered his mouth and nose with one hand and Di Xuan's with the other, quietly waiting for the end of the melting - he was covering his mouth and nose because he was afraid that the secret medicine would melt into the iron. During the process, poisonous gas would be emitted, and Di Xuan was covering Di Xuan's mouth and nose purely to prevent her from smelling something embarrassing.Because of the embarrassment in his heart, he even forgot how abrupt his actions are at the moment.

Fortunately, Di Xuan didn't care about it, and just secretly glanced at him several times, not even the melting iron door lock could fully attract her attention.It wasn't until the outside door lock was completely corroded that she pulled Lin Xiao's hand away and said softly, "Protect me, protect me."

Lin Xiao nodded, looking very solemn, and replied in a low voice: "Don't worry!"

After saying this, both of them fell silent. They waited for a while, but no one came to check because of the change in the iron gate.From this point of view, there should be no one guarding the door, at least no one is keeping a close eye on the door of the secret room.

With a plan in mind, Lin Xiao raised his hand and grabbed the top of the iron door, avoiding the place where the iron medicine melted, and slowly opened the door—he also sprinkled a little medicine on the hinge, so as not to melt the hinge The entire door fell off, but it was enough to turn that part into a half-melted state. If you move carefully, you can avoid the loud sound when the iron door opens.

Just like that, the iron gate was opened quietly. Lin Xiao went out with vigilance, but he didn't find the guards.He felt relieved and at the same time a little disappointed, after all, although the two of them came out now, they were both unarmed.If there were one or two guards at the door, he could still get two weapons from them. Now there is no danger but no gain. I really don't know if it is good or bad.

Afterwards, Di Xuan came out. She was very self-aware and hid behind Lin Xiao. After she came out, she looked around and found that there was a passage outside the secret room, and she didn't know where it led.However, this passage is not as dark as the secret room, there is an oil lamp on the wall a few feet away, although it cannot illuminate the passage brightly, it also brings a dim light.

Whether there is this light or not makes no difference to Di Xuan, but it is still a bit dazzling to Lin Xiao who has been in the dark for a long time.After the alarm was lifted, he squinted his eyes, and it took him a while to get used to the faint light.

"Which way are we going?" Lin Xiao asked with narrowed eyes.

Lin Xiao couldn't remember exactly what happened after the startled horse that day, but he was indeed in a coma when he was brought into the secret room, so he didn't know the route at all.But Di Xuan is different, many drugs are useless to her, and she may not necessarily be brought in awake, so even if she is blindfolded, she will be able to sense it to some extent.

Thinking this way, after his eyes got used to the light, he looked at Di Xuan, and what he saw was a pretty young girl's face.It was not much different from the image he had sketched in his mind in the dark. She was dressed like a Qiang girl, her eyes were bright and lively, but her facial features were deeper than those of ordinary women, and she looked soft and lacking, but she was another kind of good-looking.

It was rare for Lin Xiao to be so close to a girl's house, and he blushed a little unexpectedly.Fortunately, Di Xuan didn't look at him right now. She looked left and right at the aisles on both sides, thought for a while and pointed to the right side and said, "I should have been brought in from here."

In the bright environment, Lin Xiao could finally see Di Xuan's expression clearly, so he chose to believe it without much hesitation: "Then I will go ahead to find the way, don't follow too closely, if there is danger, you can see the situation yourself." Run and run."

Di Xuan nodded, and the two of them walked towards the right side of the passage, walking lightly and without making a sound.

****************************************************************************

I don't know if Di Xuan pointed the wrong way, the two of them walked carefully through this passage for more than an hour, but they still didn't meet the guards.But the strange thing is that the oil lamp on the wall of the passage is always burning, and the dim light fills the whole passage.

Lin Xiao walked in front, keeping his vigilance at any time, but he frowned more and more as he walked: "Such a long passage should be a tunnel, but I don't know where both sides lead to?"

Di Xuan followed Lin Xiao, probably because they hadn't encountered any danger for a long time, and the distance they kept at the beginning became closer unconsciously.She was only two steps behind Lin Xiao, and upon hearing that, she said, "Anyway, I was beaten unconscious in the stockade outside the city."

Lin Xiao paused slightly when he heard this. He really hadn't asked what happened to Di Xuan before—two strangers were locked in a secret room. It was not easy for them to trust each other in a short time, at least after escaping. Before, Lin Xiao would not give Di Xuan [-]% trust.So there are some things that they can't ask or say, and they won't believe much if they say it.

But hearing Di Xuan's words at this moment, Lin Xiao still couldn't help thinking, what is the purpose of those who kidnapped him?If there is no problem with Di Xuan's identity, what purpose did they have in kidnapping her?

Following this line of thought, an answer seems to be on the horizon.But at this moment, Di Xuan suddenly grabbed Lin Xiao's sleeve, pointed to the front and said, "Lin Xiao, there is no way ahead!"

Lin Xiao looked up, and under the dim light, he could vaguely see a wall blocking his way.But when the two of them got closer, they realized that it was not a wall, but a stone door that was not too wide, and it was inlaid with the surrounding passage almost perfectly.

This is more like the entrance and exit of the secret passage.

Lin Xiao's heart trembled, and he reached out and pushed on the stone door. As expected, he didn't move at all, so he turned to Di Xuan and said, "There should be a mechanism. Let's find the mechanism and go out first." After speaking, he seemed to think of it What, he warned again: "Although there is no one in this tunnel, there should be some outside the stone gate. Be careful when you find the mechanism, and don't open it right away."

Di Xuan agreed, and the two searched around the stone gate, and it didn't take much effort to find something unusual in the corner.She looked at it twice and said: "This mechanism is knocked with your feet, but it shouldn't prevent the people inside from going out."

In other words, this stone gate is mainly to prevent outsiders from breaking in.

But these are not important for the time being, Lin Xiao is gearing up now, only thinking about how to get out after the stone gate opens!He and Di Xuan looked at each other, and Di Xuan asked him, "Shall we go out now?"

Lin Xiao nodded: "In order not to have long nights and dreams."

So Di Xuan stopped talking, raised her foot and knocked on the mechanism that was less than half a foot high, and the closed stone door in front of her turned half a circle and opened.At the same time, the "bang" sound of the opening of the mechanism was unavoidable.

The passage was originally very quiet, and it was unknown how far this sudden noise could travel.However, the person who was first alarmed by the sound was obviously not the person at the other end of the passage, but the person guarding outside the stone gate—a big man in short brown was guarding beside the stone gate. He was hit in the face with an iron fist, and his eyes immediately became black.

Lin Xiao's movements were obviously very fast, and he jumped out the moment the stone door opened.After succeeding, he didn't give the big man a chance to react at all, and he punched him a few more times, and he beat the opponent until his face was covered in blood, almost killing him half of his life.

What Di Xuan saw when she came out was the blood splattered bloody scene. Ordinary daughters would be horrified to cry out when they saw it, but she had no change in expression, and even pulled Lin Xiao after the big man passed out. Said: "Okay, the person has passed out, don't waste any more energy."

Only then did Lin Xiao stop, nodded, and wiped all the blood stained on his hands onto the collar of the big man's shirt.Immediately he stood up, but found that Di Xuan was looking at him with burning eyes, which made him a little uncomfortable, so he asked, "What's wrong?"

But Di Xuan looked away and shook her head, "It's okay, let's go out."

Lin Xiao asked her to wait, and then searched around the cave and the big man, but unexpectedly found no weapons.For a moment, he thought that he had hit the wrong person, but then he thought about it, this person was staying in the cave, guarding the stone gate, how could there be so many coincidences? !But without a weapon, Lin Xiao had no choice but to pick up a stone and said to Di Xuan, "Let's go."

Di Xuan glanced at the stone in Lin Xiao's hand strangely, she couldn't help but feel a little slanderous in her heart, but she didn't say anything in this situation, but followed him consciously.

After leaving the cave, it is no surprise that there is a barren mountain, and there are messy paths leading to nowhere.Lin Xiao looked around vigilantly, but he didn't see anyone again, but he couldn't tell where he was at the moment.

Di Xuan, on the other hand, only took a few glances after she came out and said, "This is Dongshan."

Most of the Qiang people walk in the mountains and forests, especially the head of the clan is closer to Xinzhou City, it is not surprising that Di Xuan recognized Dongshan.But after Lin Xiao looked around, he blinked blankly: "Why doesn't it look like me?"

But Di Xuan pulled him away, "This is the backside of Dongshan Mountain, you probably haven't been here before."

The backside of Dongshan Mountain is considered to be the territory of the Qiang people, and they are not too arrogant to allow others to set foot there. It is believed that there are many rumors of fierce Qiang people in the state, and most people will not easily set foot here.Even those unscrupulous bandits seem to be walking around the territory of the Qiang people.And Lin Xiao has just been in Xinzhou for two years, and he is still busy training the army on weekdays, so of course he has never been here.

The question has been answered, Lin Xiao also knows that this place is not suitable to stay for a long time, as if the wind is blowing under his feet, he follows Di Xuan through the mountains and forests.He glanced at Di Xuan holding his hand, a slight unease flashed across his face, and asked, "Where are we going now?"

Di Xuan quickly said, "I've been missing for several days, everyone in the village should be in a hurry, I have to go back and say something first."

Lin Xiao wanted to say that he had been missing for a longer time, and he didn't know what was going on in Xinzhou City, so his parents should be crazy.But can he leave Di Xuan and return to the city immediately?Obviously not - he still has unanswered questions, and has not confirmed Di Xuan's identity. Most importantly, what if she encounters a bad person on the way back to the village? !

He hesitated to speak for another moment, but still stepped up to follow.

The author has something to say: Lin Xiao (thought to himself): The daughter-in-law you got, how could you let her run away? !

Di Xuan (quietly delighted): Of course you have to abduct the boy back to the village first!
