Jiang Jiyun pressed her hands tightly against the seemingly ordinary secret door and tried her best to push it open, but no matter how hard she tried, the secret door did not move at all.

At this moment, Xu Fan walked up slowly, stretched out his hand and gently pushed upwards, and the secret door that was originally closed was opened easily.

Jiang Jiyun suddenly felt embarrassed and awkward. She blushed and muttered, "Is this someone trying to bully me?"

Xu Fan on the side tried hard to suppress his laughter, took the flashlight from Dong Duoyu and shone it into the secret door.

With the dim light, you can see a staircase extending downwards.

"It seems like my uncle rolled down these stairs." Xu Fan said as he walked down the stairs carefully.

Seeing this, Jiang Jiyun hurriedly followed behind him, and Dong Duoyu followed closely behind Jiang Jiyun.

"Ouch!" Xu Fan accidentally stepped on something and almost fell to the ground.

After he managed to steady himself, they continued to grope forward.

After walking a few steps, I heard Jiang Wenming's voice coming from below.

"Ouch!"

"Ouch!"

He was seen lying on the ground in a miserable state. When he saw the people coming down, he began to accuse his little niece in a bitter manner.

"Jiang Jiyun, Jiang Jiyun, how could you watch your uncle fall into the fire pit? You really have no conscience!"

Facing his uncle's accusation, Jiang Jiyun hurried forward to support him and explained, "Uncle, look at my small body. If I forcefully pull you, I'm afraid I'll either get stuck in the secret door or fall down with you. By then, not only will you not be saved, but you might even be hurt more seriously."

Jiang Wenming wanted to complain a few more times, but suddenly he heard Dong Duoyu's surprised cry: "Oh my god, there is so much money hidden in here?"

This voice instantly attracted everyone's attention.

When Jiang Wenming heard the words "a lot of money", he who had just been groaning in pain suddenly felt as if he had been given an injection of chicken blood. The pain in his body disappeared without a trace and he jumped up from the ground with a somersault.

Jiang Jiyun's mouth twitched as she followed Jiang Wenming who jumped over. When she saw Xu Fan light the candles on the wall, she saw that the boxes opened by Dong Duoyu contained dollars, gold bars, and legal tender.

Jiang Wenming said in surprise, "If these dozens of boxes are full of money, then this is the money that Mr. Dong is going to give to the devils."

"If I had known there was so much money here, I would have stolen some gold and given it to my mother when she left." Dong Duoyu said regretfully.

"Big sister, your mother left? Why didn't you go with her?" Jiang Jiyun asked with a smile.

"At that time, only one of us could leave. If we both left, we would be discovered on the same day, and my mother would be dead if she was caught. My mother said she would give me news after she was settled, so I ran to find her." Dong Duoyu recalled what her mother said to her.

Jiang Wenming looked at her warily and said, "Since you are waiting for your mother to give you news, why are you willing to go with us now?"

Dong Duoyu received Jiang Wenming's vigilant look and explained, "My mother has been out for almost a year, and there is no news at all. I am worried that something might happen to her. I want to find her, but I have never been out and I don't know the way, so I need someone to help me."

"Do you know where she is going? We'll ask someone to take you there." Jiang Jiyun said kindly.

Dong Duoyu said excitedly, "My grandfather's family is from Luojiazhai. My mother said she would go back to find my uncle and then find a way to take me out."

Jiang Jiyun and Jiang Wenming looked at each other. There had been no one in Luojiazhai for a long time. Did her mother really not know?

"Let's go out first. We can't take away so many things with just a few people. We might as well leave first." Xu Fan said.

Jiang Jiyun and Jiang Wenming nodded after receiving his gaze. Dong Duoyu said, "Turn off the lights so we don't get caught."

Jiang Wenming said to Xu Fan, "You go up first and see if there is anyone in the secret passage. I will turn off the light and then go up."

After Jiang Wenming turned off the lights, Jiang Jiyun quickly put all the boxes into the space.

"Ahem...Uncle, follow me, don't fall down again." When Dong Duoyu nodded and looked down, it was pitch black behind her and she didn't notice whether the box was still there.

Dong Duoyu followed Xu Fan and felt her pocket. She had just put several gold bars in her pocket.

Jiang Wenming held Jiang Jiyun's little hand tightly and followed his footsteps carefully up the stairs.

Afterwards, led by Dong Duoyu, the group stepped into the dark and deep secret passage, and the footsteps of several people echoed in the silent passage.

Time passed minute by minute, and after about half an hour, a ray of light finally appeared ahead.

The crowd quickened their pace and walked towards the light. Soon, they arrived in front of a cave entrance.

Dong Duoyu was the first to walk out of the cave, then quickly looked around. After making sure it was safe, he skillfully moved some branches to cover the entrance of the cave.

After doing this, she turned around and looked at the other people around her.

At this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on Jiang Wenming.

He looked helpless, his lips trembling slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he shook his head, sighed and said, "Alas, I really have nothing to say!"

After saying this, he looked up and observed the surroundings as if he had accepted his fate. Then he walked to the front of the team and began to lead the way.

Among this group of people, there was one who was too young. He had been a complete idiot in directions since he was a child. He often got lost even when walking in familiar streets.

Another person is a foreigner who has just arrived here. He is unfamiliar with the place and facing the complicated roads in front of him, he is like a headless fly, not knowing where to go.

The last one was raised at home by her family. Due to the long-term lack of outdoor activities and experience in interacting with people, her understanding of the outside world is almost zero.

Back on the main road leading to Dongjiabao, Xu Fan asked them to hide and wait for them while he went to find Zhang An and the others.

Jiang Jiyun squatted for a while and tugged at Jiang Wenming with his hand, "Uncle, can we find that wild boar like we did those rabbits?"

Jiang Wenming looked down at his niece and said in his heart, "No, no way?"

"I don't know. Since the rabbit was found back then, can the wild boar be found as well?" Jiang Jiyun said uncertainly, touching his hat.

After a while, Xu Fan brought Zhang An and the others back, and the group walked back.

"Let's send Sister Dong to Luojiazhai first!" Jiang Jiyun didn't dare to bring her back to the village. If she had any problems, it would drag down the villagers.

"Xu Fan and I will take them there. You guys can leave first." Jiang Wenming picked up his little niece and put her in Zhang An's arms.

When Dong Duoyu heard that they were sending her to Luojiazhai, she looked at Jiang Wenming gratefully and said, "Thank you, thank you."

Watching my uncle and the others leave with flashlights, I asked Zhang An worriedly, "Brother Zhang, will my uncle and the others be okay?"

Before Zhang An could answer, they heard "huff" and "huff" sounds behind them.
