Chapter 275 The Cellar
Once the large group of men in black found that their room was empty, they would immediately track them down. Therefore, they needed to find a safe place without injuring the innocent Uncle Huangfu. After thinking about it, Ruan He asked such a question. A question comes.

When Uncle Huangfu heard this, he was slightly stunned. He didn't have time to ask about the reason. He had to quickly point to the courtyard and said: There is a cellar under the big locust tree in the courtyard. You guys walk along the cellar and exit the cellar. Just go straight into the mountains and find a remote cave at the top of the mountain to hide first, okay? "

This was a good idea, and it would not cause trouble to Uncle Huangfu. The whole family naturally agreed and walked into the yard according to Uncle Huangfu's instructions.

"Look, this is the cellar of my house. I don't know what happened to you. Go and hide for a while. You can come to me for help at any time later. As an old man, I can help you if I can. .”

Uncle Huangfu's enthusiastic and sincere attitude made Ruan He and the others feel warm in their hearts. However, they had no time to talk now. They were also being chased by men in black, so it was impossible for them to implicate Uncle Huangfu for nothing.

Uncle Huangfu stepped forward and opened the cover of the hidden cellar. The cellar was particularly well hidden and almost covered with ordinary weeds. From the outside, there was nothing wrong at all.

"So hidden." Ruan He raised his eyebrows in surprise, staring at the cellar entrance that seemed to appear out of thin air on the ground, and couldn't help but admire it.

"Hey, more than twenty years ago, there were bandits in our village. The bandits came out of the mountain to steal food and gold and silver. I am an old man who lives alone, has no children, and can only rely on a family. A skilled craftsman built such a cellar, hid food and valuables in it, and deceived the bandits several times..."

Uncle Huangfu was still chattering on and on. Ruan He and his family didn't have that time to waste any more time. After all, the man in black who was chasing him didn't know where he had searched yet.

While Uncle Huangfu was talking, the whole family had already slipped in through the narrow entrance of the cellar one after another. Mu Zhengyuan took the lead first, followed by the old, young, women and children in the middle, and finally Mu Yunxiao and his wife fell behind.

Watching all the family members enter the cellar one by one, Mu Yunxiao looked around calmly, and when he was about to step into the cellar, an old and calloused hand stretched out and lifted the head in his hand. The small lantern that was hanging was handed to Mu Yunxiao, and he greeted cheerfully: "Don't panic yet, I'll save this lantern for you. It's not easy to walk on the mountain road at night with the lights on."

Mu Yunxiao solemnly thanked him. In this situation where it was obvious that they were in danger, Uncle Huangfu was not only willing to lend a helping hand but also thought twice about it. Naturally, it made people feel grateful.

The cellar was pitch dark, with a strong smell of moisture. They walked through the narrow alley, and after walking for a while, the faint light of the lantern shone in front of them, and there was a faint light coming from the depths of the dark narrow alley ahead. The sound of wind and cranes came.

Mu Zhengyuan walked forward, groping as he walked, leaning his hands on the wall in front of him and pushing open the old wooden narrow door in front of him.

With a muffled "crunch", dust flew everywhere, and it was obvious that no one had opened this door for a long time.

As soon as the narrow door was pushed open, it was indeed a deep mountain forest. Under the howling night wind, the leaves rustled, accompanied by the roars of wild beasts in the deep forest.

This should be the mountain behind the exile village. On weekdays, few people set foot on it. Occasionally, only hunters go up the mountain to hunt. But over the years, the villagers in the exile village have either gone to the county to do business, or they have stayed at home to farm. Few people engage in such a dangerous business as hunting.Fortunately, in the past few years, the Yue City government sent officials to clear away the dangerous beasts in the surrounding area to prevent them from running down the mountain and harming people, so the danger nearby should not be too great.

With the faint light of Uncle Huangfu's small lantern, their family stood together and walked cautiously in the dense forest. The sound of walking footsteps was particularly loud and abrupt.

They walked a short distance deep into the jungle and found a secluded cave to spend the night. It was not advisable to go deeper. After all, it was really dangerous inside. Tigers and ferocious beasts were more difficult to deal with than killer men in black. In such a family, There are very few people who have the ability to protect themselves, and it is difficult for Mu Yunxiao and his wife to take care of both.

"Cang!" As the sword was unsheathed quickly, a crisp sword cry was heard. Before anyone else could react, Mu Yunxiao had already split a thin snake in front of him in half.

Ruan He lowered his eyes and stared at the snake corpse that had been broken into two pieces on the ground. His eyes flickered and he said steadily: "It's not safe at night. We must find a cave or something like that to spend the night as soon as possible."

Fortunately, they were lucky and found a dry and safe cave with a spacious interior and a narrow entrance. After careful inspection by the Mu Yunxiao brothers, they found no threats such as poisonous insects and beasts in the cave. The entrance to the cave needs to be blocked tightly so that the family can rest peacefully for a night.

In this way, Mu Yunxiao left the rest of the family in the cave, while he and Mu Zhengyuan went outside to carefully collect a batch of dry branches and the like, and cut a large piece of grass with a dagger.

When they came back, Ruan He had already come forward to help, spreading the grass they brought back on the ground, and lighting a fire with dry branches in the far corner.

It was extremely cold inside this cave. If we didn't light a fire and just slept like this all night, the whole family would be frozen the next day.

In order to prevent the fire from spreading, Ruan He only lit a small fire. The burning light illuminated the cave and dissipated the coldness around him.

Most of the pile of grass that Mu Yunxiao cut back was used as a bed, leaving only a small pile, which Ruan He blocked directly at the entrance of the cave. From the outside, it was difficult to find that there was a cave at all.

In such a safe and secure environment, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Mrs. Mutai's old face was still full of solemn expression. She stared at the beating flames, sighed, and sighed helplessly: "Even though our Mu family is far away from the capital and the court, some people above are still unwilling to let us go."

What they want now is just a stable life.

"They have evil intentions in their minds, so naturally they are trying every possible means to kill us." After a moment of silence, Mu Yunxiao spoke slowly with a solemn tone.
