Both of them were taken aback, and ran out together.

In order to have a better overview of the mountain scenery, this small attic was built in a clearing near the top of the cliff. At this time, standing on the edge of the cliff, you can clearly see that the bottom of the mountain is a piece of fiery red.

"It's on fire." Long Yu said in amazement: "Danshu, the mountain is on fire, let's go and have a look."

Although Long Yu hadn't been to Muro Castle during the day, he didn't know what was on the mountain.But the red light below the mountain in front of me, accompanied by the faint crackling sound and scorching smell, was clearly on fire.

"The fire is huge." Dan Shu frowned and said, "Someone must have set the fire."

Now is not the season of high and dry autumn, and this is not a place where inflammable and explosive materials are piled up. Danshu has stayed in Muro Fort for a few days, and has a little idea of ​​the general situation here.

The mountain of Muro Castle is not big, and there are no dense and deep forests. There are mostly pines and cypresses and green shrubs on the mountain.Although conifers and cypresses are particularly flammable because they contain pine oil, but now that there is heavy snow, if someone does not do it deliberately, it is impossible to catch fire naturally.

"Master didn't do it..." A thought came to Long Yu's mind. When Wanyan Changfeng found Mu Yanluo raising crow shells in the cave just now, his expression was very bad.Although he has always been gentle to himself, in fact, this is a man with a bad temper. If he goes to find Mu Yanluo, if a few words don't match and makes him angry, what will he do? easy to say.

Both of them were shocked, and before they could speak again, the mouse suddenly bit Danshu's clothes.Squeaked up.

It was only then that Dan Shu remembered that the mouse in his hand might be the porcelain vase that Wanyan Changfeng had spoken with. He quickly shook the vase upside down, and sure enough, a note came out of it.

Long Yu also hurriedly went over to look at it, and saw the flamboyant and phoenix dancing on the note, it was really written in Wanyan Changfeng's handwriting, it was written scribbled, set fire to put out the poison, there is a secret room behind the forbidden area, you go in and hide for two days.Remember to close the door.Fire extinguishing and other signals.Let's stay safe.

Long Yu had seen Wanyan Changfeng's characters before, and Danshu was even more familiar with them. There must be no problem, and it was brought by the mouse. The mouse recognizes the owner very well, but not everyone listens to it.

But what Wanyan Changfeng said.What means?

Long Yu and Dan Shu looked at each other, both confused.What the hell is going on here, let them hide.And if there is any conflict with Mu Yanluo, it shouldn't be to let them hide, and send a mouse to deliver a letter, but specifically say that everyone is well.

Just the two of them stood in doubt for a while.It feels like the fire at the bottom of the mountain is getting bigger, and it has a tendency to spread up the mountain.The smoke swirls upwards along the wind, bursting a little pungent.

The mouse suddenly became irritable, squeaked non-stop, bit Long Yu's clothes hem, and hit her with its head.

Dan Shu's eyebrows twitched, and he pulled Long Yu: "Let's go, hide first. Mr. Wanyan will never make such a joke."

Although Wanyan Changfeng sometimes makes jokes to tease people, he is absolutely reliable at critical moments.Will not make some inexplicable jokes.

Before Long Yu could think clearly, Danshu pulled the mouse in front of him and pushed it in the back, so he followed him away.

Worrying in my heart, it doesn't matter what happened, it doesn't matter to others, as long as everyone is well.

Sure enough, Danshu had been to that forbidden place, and those who knew the way better than Long Yu knew how to get there.When I entered the bushes, I only felt that the smell was stronger, and this smell seemed to be not only the burning of the books, but also mixed with other breaths.

Knowing that things were different, the two quickened their pace, the mouse ran forward and back, squeaking, with its tail and head flicking, as if it was very uncomfortable.

Fortunately, they were not far from the forbidden area at this time, and after walking for a while, they saw the entrance of the cave hidden in the vines.

Don't look at the mouse is already a huge monster, but the movement is very sensitive, especially at this time, it seems to be trying to escape. It stopped suddenly not far from the entrance of the cave, then arched its body and stretched its front paws to make a jump. It prepared to move, and then jumped over with a whoosh, but it didn't know martial arts after all, so it couldn't jump in mid-air all at once, but stepped on the tree trunk next to it, jumped a few times in a row, and finally reached the entrance of the cave.

Dan Shu didn't wait for Long Yu to use it, he stretched out his arms to hug her, and jumped up.

Long Yu only felt that the things in the foreground flickered, and then he had already landed on the ground at the entrance of the cave.But Dan Shu didn't let go, instead he pulled her closer and said seriously, "Come closer to me, I've been fumigated with medicine to prevent some poisonous insects from approaching."

Long Yu suddenly realized that when he came here with Wanyan Changfeng just now, he was almost bitten by a poisonous insect.No wonder Dan Shu could follow in secretly, it turned out that Mu Yanluo gave him special treatment.

Thinking of the poisonous insect disguised as a branch just now, Long Yu couldn't help but feel his scalp tingle, and hastily obediently leaned against Danshu again, leaning closer to him.

Mice are not afraid of anything, they are not afraid of these insects that can be used as snacks, but they are not interested either. They croaked twice and ran forward on all fours. Long and Yu hurriedly followed behind.

The cave was very dark and there was basically no light, so Dan Shu lit a torch and went in, and saw a few torches thrown by the side of the cave, maybe Mu Yanluo and the others used the rest.

He went over and picked one up, and led Long Yu to walk in together.

When he came here just now, Dan Shu only walked halfway, and left after hearing a few words from Mu Yanluo and the others, but it was not as deep as Long Yu.Fortunately, the cave is very shallow, and there is no fork in the road. The two walked quickly to the innermost place where the stone bed was placed, and looked around.

The cave looked very primitive, and there were not many artificial traces. The two of them took a closer look in the cave. On the stone wall on the side of the stone bed, there was a stone that was obviously protruding.

Dan Shu walked over, reached out his hand to grope on the stone wall, pressed hard on the protruding place, and with a loud crash, the stone wall burst open.

In this era, some decent martial mansions would store some food and water in some hidden places, such as basements or cellars, for emergencies.Slightly larger sects will also have some secret passages leading to the outside world, so that they can be evacuated quickly when needed.

There is a similar place in the Princess Mansion, but Long Yu has never been inside to see it, but Dan Shu and the others are indeed very familiar with the routines.

Not surprisingly, this cave was where Fort Murro took refuge.It was supposed to be a very deep and long cave, but it was artificially cut in the middle to create a wall, giving people the illusion that the cave has come to an end.

Long Yu walked quickly into the cave with Danshu, and the other side of the stone wall was not so subtle, but a metal pull ring was inlaid on the wall, and when the pull ring was pulled back, the door on the stone wall slowly closed , tightly fitting, leaving no gaps.

Entering such a confined space, Long Yu felt that the mouse seemed to relax all of a sudden, stretched out its tongue and exhaled, shook the hair on its body, and found a place to lie down.

Although it is quite a deep cave, one does not feel short of breath in it, and the flame of the torch is still bright, if there is no supply of fresh oxygen, there is no fire at all in such a deep cave, Long Yu said: " Is this place connected to the outside world?"

"Even if the place of refuge is not originally connected, a hidden passage will be created." Dan Shu said while shining a torch on the surroundings, and found that on the surrounding stone walls, there were several logs leaning against the wall. The shelves, with the oil lamps on them, are all filled with oil. I think this place must be taken care of often.Although a place of refuge like this may not be used for a lifetime, once it is used, it will save lives.

After all, holding the torch is not a problem. Danshu lit an oil lamp. Although the light was not as bright as the torch, it was enough to see clearly.

This cave is not wide, it is equivalent to the width of the stone chamber outside, only a few meters at most.But it is very long, looking forward, it is dark, and there is no end in sight.

Long Yu first checked the mouse, and was relieved when he saw that it was not burned, patted its head to let it rest well, and walked to Danshu by himself.

According to Wanyan Changfeng's arrangement, they will stay in this cave for at least two days. The two of them are going out temporarily, and they have nothing on them. You can get by without eating or drinking, but it's not good.

What's more, it's still winter, and it's in such a cold place in the northern country. Even if there is no wind blowing in this cave, the temperature is still low.When it is cold, people need more food and calories.

What's more, there are mice. The size of the mouse is not the small thing in the past. It can eat a pork leg without hiccups. If it is hungry for two days, it will roll around and scratch the wall all over the world.

But since this is the place where Fort Muro evacuates urgently, dry food and water are naturally indispensable. Danshu searched around and found a few boxes wrapped in dry straw from the cave. type of dry food.There are still a few water bags, shake it, but there is not much water in it.

"There is enough food, including the rats, enough for three or four days, but the water is a bit short." Dan Shu said, "But..."

Dan Shu didn't finish his sentence. Just now, the two of them had been walking and opening the box, so they didn't pay attention. Now they stopped and heard the sound of water droplets coming from the depths of the cave.

No wonder they didn't prepare too much water. It seems that there is a source of water in this cave.

Dan Shu looked deep into the dark cave, dropped the water and food in his hands and walked back, saying: "It's too late today, let's rest where we are, and I'll go in and have a look tomorrow. .Since the cave is ventilated, there may be light coming in."

Today, it is too late.They had been on their way all day, and it was already evening when they arrived at Fort Murro.Everyone exchanged pleasantries again, after eating, and after the meal just now, Long Yu secretly counted the time, and estimated that it would be one or two o'clock in the middle of the night.
