Under the gentle candlelight, the old woman who was still in high spirits during the day was now covered in blood. She crawled over very slowly. There were streaks of blood everywhere she went, and beside her was the black cat quietly.

Come with her.

Ling Xin was so excited that he was about to go over and took a step forward. The bone-gnawing pain hit him again, and he was so frightened that he immediately took a step back.

"I'll detoxify you first."

She waved her hand, and a bug suddenly emerged from her sleeve. It was a fleshy bug with wings, all brown. It flapped its wings and circled around Ling Xin. Soon, Ling Xin felt that his head was about to explode. It hurt.

It almost fainted. He put his head in his hands and tried his best to resist the urge to shout. His lower lip was bitten so hard that it bled.

With the fishy-sweet taste in his mouth, he relaxed a little, and then more severe pain hit him. He was in so much pain that he could hardly think.

Then he quickly felt something swimming in his head, and the pain continued to his right ear, as if something was about to come out of his ear.

Soon, a worm came out of his right ear and was covered in blood.

The black cat jumped over, and the worm immediately entered its belly. It licked its own hair and began to wash its face.

Ling Xin, whose pain gradually disappeared, looked at the old woman and the black cat in surprise.

"The poison has been removed from your body. We have to leave as soon as possible."

Ling Xin tried to get closer to the pool, and sure enough, there was no movement at all in the pool, and she didn't feel any discomfort.

"Is there a way out of here?"

The old woman calmly pointed to the place where she had just appeared.

Ling Xin quickly helped him up and walked into the darkness.

The wall that looked like it in the daytime had a hole at some point. The hole was not big, but it could allow a person of normal stature to pass through.

The old woman got through first, and the black cat also disappeared.

Ling Xin then carefully ducked in and ducked through.

He turned around to cover the entrance of the cave and carefully followed the old woman in front of him.

After walking a few steps, there was a faint light, and he followed the old woman out of the narrow entrance of the cave.

In front of him was an abandoned yard, and the end of the chain happened to be nailed to a big tree in the yard.

The moon is bright and the stars are sparse, black magpies are flying south, and the cold wind is blowing.

Ling Xin looked worried at the chains nailed to the tree.

The old woman stood beside him at some point and said, "Go away. My old woman has lived enough in this life. Saving you is just a matter of convenience. Go out from here to the big tree where you appeared here and from that dark path."

If you go through the door, you will appear in the house on Shacheng Street. Once you get there, I think you have a way to escape."

"No, I can't go alone. I promised you that we will go together."

Ling Xin turned back firmly, her brain spinning rapidly. Is there anything that could untie the chain without disturbing those people?

"Bringing my old wife with me is a burden."

"Without the seniors, it would be difficult for me to get out. I'll try to see if I can cut off this chain."

However, there was nothing in this dilapidated yard, and the sword he carried had long been taken away by Liu Rumei.

He sat down frustrated.

"Let's go."

He raised his head in surprise. The old woman in front of him was bleeding profusely on her shoulder. In order to escape from the iron chain, she actually dug the chain out of her shoulder. She did so quickly and accurately without even making a sound.

Ling Xin didn't have time to ask, so she immediately followed her out. The black cat was licking the wound on the old woman's shoulder.

The journey was extremely peaceful, and until they reached the giant tree, Ling Xin's heart was still beating wildly. This seemed to be going too smoothly.

He even wondered if he was dreaming.

The old woman looked back at the desert under the moonlight. A trace of tenderness flashed in her eyes, but it was fleeting. She stretched out her skinny hand and turned a stone under the tree, and the secret door opened.

Ling Xin followed her into the secret door.

There is another long corridor, which is depressing and cramped.

The black cat followed between the two of them, walking obediently without saying a word.

We turned a corner and saw it coming to the end.

Ling Xin felt like his heart was about to jump out of his chest.

Suddenly the old woman stepped back quickly, and Ling Xin took a step back.

"go back."

The old woman's voice was very soft in the darkness, but it brought a huge sense of crisis.

Ling Xin listened carefully and heard Liu Rumei's voice.

In the dark corridor, the two people looked at each other.

"Just turn a corner. The switch for the secret door is on a brick next to the door. Knock three times and the door will open. I'll lure them away. You can go ahead."

The old woman took a deep breath and sat on the ground.

The black cat walked around her anxiously, as if it had insight into its owner's thoughts.

Where can Ling Xin leave her? The eldest princess is in danger, and the person in front of her will be able to cure the poison. If she doesn't go, there is no point in escaping by herself.

He immediately shook his head and refused.

However, the sound was getting closer and closer, and seemed to be coming this way.

Ling Xin put her ears against the cave wall vigilantly, ready to step forward and fight for her life at any time.

If she died, maybe she would forgive herself for her past rudeness, arrogance and neglect?

Thinking about those hurts now is simply unbearable. She was a golden girl, and marrying him was originally her blessing, but she had to wipe out this blessing.

After receiving the decree of reconciliation, his heart was filled with relief.

No matter how relaxed you are that day, you will regret it later.

It turned out that without him, she was playful, cute, and witty, attracting him all the time.

If before Liu Rumei came back from the dead, he tried his best to suppress this feeling and dared not face it, after Liu Rumei appeared late at night, it seemed that the seeds of love had taken root and sprouted overnight.

He took a deep breath and imagined what Han Rui would look like if he died.

At this moment, a dark figure jumped out beside him with lightning speed.

At this moment, Ling Xin was dragged around the corner by the old woman. Behind him was the wailing sound of the black cat and Liu Rumei's disgusted voice.

"Where did the cat come from?"

The old woman tapped the stone bricks in front of her quickly, and the hollow sound finally aroused Liu Rumei's alert.

She frowned and looked in the direction of the exit.

"No, chase."

The secret door was wide open, and Ling Xin led the old woman into the darkness and ran quickly on the roof of the house.

There was a small two-story courtyard in front of him with lights on, and he headed there without thinking.

The old woman followed him not as slowly as before but without a trace.

The two of them landed on the roof of the inn. Unexpectedly, it had just rained a little, and the roof was slippery and had not been repaired for a long time. A sword came from behind, and he missed his footing and fell down.

When he rashly breaks into someone else's house, the people in the house immediately rush towards him with swords drawn.

When the old woman saw him falling, she immediately followed him and jumped down from the hole in the roof.

Through the dim light from the roof, Ling Xin noticed something was wrong as soon as they met each other, "Chang Shan?"
