When Shi Yi thinks about Xianyu, someone always comes to disturb her.

She paced slowly in the yard, looking at the abandoned houses around her.

"Where is this? Why are there so many empty houses?" she asked curiously.

You Xiuyuan thought for a moment and said, "My family bought it a long time ago, and it has been left unused until it fell into disuse."

Yaoguang had no expression on her face and it was hard to tell whether she believed it or not.

At this time, footsteps were heard outside. Although no one was seen, You Xiuyuan was extremely scared. He took Yaoguang's hand and hid in the low house.

This small house looks very shabby from the outside and seems to be on the verge of collapse.

There wasn't much space in the room, perhaps because everything had been moved out, there wasn't even a bed.

There are only a few broken tables and chairs, and now there is no shelter at all.

After You Xiuyuan entered the room, he squatted by the window, looking outside nervously.

What you fear will come true. The voice of the yamen runner came over, "Where is it? Where is it? Are you dazzled?"

After a while, two yamen runners were seen looking around outside.

You Xiuyuan was so frightened that his face turned pale in an instant. If he was caught, he would definitely die.

He did not dare to hesitate any longer, turned around and pulled Yaoguang to the mechanism, turned the iron ring. A crack suddenly appeared on the wall, and he pulled Yaoguang carefully sideways to go in.

Then the crack closed automatically, tightly, as if the door had never existed.

There was a corridor in front of her. Just as Yaoguang was about to move forward, she was stopped by You Xiuyuan.

"Don't move! There are traps everywhere. Let's stay here for a while. When the people outside leave, we'll go out."

He didn't want this woman to know what was inside.

Yaoguang responded timidly.

He was very satisfied with Yaoguang's tactfulness and did not ask any more questions about what was happening here.

Yaoguang: Even if I ask you, you won’t tell the truth and act as if I don’t know.

Yaoguang hugged herself tightly with her arms, leaned against the wall pitifully, and said to You Xiuyuan: "Master You, are we going to stand here until dusk?"

You Xiuyuan: This corridor is narrow and it is indeed uncomfortable to stay here, but...

Just as he was debating whether to take the risk, he heard voices outside.

"Search carefully. The carriage is outside. He must not have run far." Then there was the sound of something falling to the ground with a clang.

Yaoguang was "so scared" that she was shaking.

You Xiuyuan gritted his teeth and fumbled for the mechanism on the wall on the right. Yaoguang took a peek and continued to "tremble".

After You Xiuyuan closed the mechanism, he turned around and dragged Yaoguang to the other side, then reopened the mechanism. Now if someone breaks in, the mechanism will be triggered, and the person who comes in will be shot into a hedgehog.

They pushed open the door of the stone chamber and went in, and the door behind them closed automatically.

There were boxes of all sizes in the stone room, some were lined up against the wall, and some were piled high in the middle of the room like a small mountain.

The area of ​​this stone chamber is really large. Because it is underground and unventilated, there is a pungent musty smell.

After Yaoguang came in, she glanced around and then stopped looking.

The boxes were all locked, which showed that the You family was very cautious at the time.

But this is just an attempt to cover up one's own mistakes.

Hidden in such a secret place, even without opening the box, anyone can guess what is in the box. It must be gold, silver or treasure.

But it's none of her business.

Thinking back, it seems that this secret room only has one way in.

Yaoguang looked at You Xiuyuan pitifully and asked tremblingly: "Master You, can they find this place?"

You Xiuyuan was also very worried. Although there was a trap, if he couldn't kill everyone at once;

Or maybe those damn yamen runners left people outside, then this place would be very unsafe.

If it is exposed by then, even his own treasury will not be able to be protected.

You Xiuyuan looked at his family's assets and showed a reluctant look.

But compared with my own life, I have no choice but to give it up.

After taking a final look, he unlocked a small box, turned his back to Yaoguang, took off his coat, took out a few gold bars and wrapped them up.

While Yaoguang wasn't paying attention, he took out a notebook from the small box and quickly stuffed it into the package made of clothes.

Fortunately, it is made of coarse cloth, strong and durable.

Close the box carefully, making as little noise as possible.

With Yaoguang behind a huge box, he opened a small door.

It’s really a small door, about the size of a dog hole.

To get out, you have to "go through a dog hole".

Yaoguang felt somewhat reluctant.

However, at this point we can only accept it with a pinch of our nose.

They crawled out of a long tunnel, and when they came out, both looked in a state of disgrace.

I took a deep breath of fresh air to get rid of the stuffiness in my chest. My body was covered with dirt and grass, and my palms and knees were burning from the friction from crawling.

There was no time to take care of these at the moment. You Xiuyuan pulled Yaoguang up and had to leave here immediately.

They are not out of danger yet!

Yaoguang was pulled up with difficulty, and her knees hurt whenever she walked.

She hissed, then swallowed the cry of pain.

You Xiuyuan saw it all and felt a little strange.

I didn't expect that when I was down and out, this woman was the only one by my side, and she would follow me wholeheartedly.

The exit was an inconspicuous abandoned garden. He identified the direction and helped Yaoguang leave.

I kept running in panic until dark, and finally found a dilapidated thatched house on a hillside.

It looks like a temporary residence built by hunters when they go into the mountains to hunt.

There was no bed or other furniture in the room, just a pile of hay, so at least you didn't have to sit on the ground.

You Xiuyuan searched around the house and found a flint, and started a fire on the floor to drive away the cold.

Yaoguang consciously picked up a few dry branches and put them on the fire. They really needed the fire now.

You Xiuyuan sat silently by the fire, not saying a word. He was probably still worried about whether his own silver vault had been discovered.

He didn't know how much time had passed before his stomach started to growl. It was then that he remembered that he hadn't eaten anything all day.

Look at that quiet girl, she looks listless, probably because she is hungry.

You Xiuyuan had no choice but to cheer himself up and go outside to find something to eat.

All the dry food he had prepared was in the carriage. Now that even the carriage was lost, there was no way he could think about those few pieces of dry food.

Now he only had a few gold bars on him, which were not enough to buy food in this remote area.

He was also unsure what he would find, after all, he had never survived independently.

After he walked out, his mind was confused and he didn't know what to do.

Yaoguang followed him out and asked timidly, "Master You, are you hungry? I have some dry food for you to eat?"

You Xiuyuan looked at the delicate woman in front of him in confusion, "Do you have any dry food?"
