My backyard leads to the underworld. I became famous by selling goods.

The children's eyes were all filled with tears, but they didn't dare to make a sound and followed Song Mian quietly.

Song Mian saw from afar that those people entered the warehouse and came out quickly, then dispersed towards the surrounding forests, looking for their traces.

Among them, most of the human traffickers went in the direction of the highway.

He had originally thought about finding a highway and leaving along it, but Song Mian immediately realized that in this situation, the simpler and easier the road was, the more likely he would be intercepted by these human traffickers.

In this case, these paths are obviously not feasible.

"Sister, go this way." Little Stone said this and pointed to a hillside not far away that was very difficult to climb.

There are many protruding rocks and overgrown weeds on the hillside, and some thorn-like vines have grown out of the cracks in the rocks, making it feel like there is no place to step.

"Little Stone, are you sure?" Song Mian's face was twisted into a ball, and the lively expression on his face in the past was tangled at this moment. "We are not familiar with the roads here, and there are children here, so we should choose a road that is easier to walk."

Tao Tao said to Zhou He beside her, "Brother Zhou He, look at this big sister! She's amazing! She seems to be able to see things we can't see, and can even communicate with them normally!"

Zhou He nodded and squeezed Tao Tao's hand tightly: "In this case, we must follow big sister."

"Sister Song, please believe me, I will definitely not go wrong with the path I take. I remember it very clearly, I must have been here before." Little Stone cast a firm gaze forward.

Song Mian was surprised, and then an idea came to his mind, which made his heart ache.

These human traffickers are so rampant that they may have abducted innocent children to Longding Mountain a long time ago.

Perhaps the little stone at that time was also part of it.

But... after Little Stone was caught here, there was no way for him to escape, let alone reach the terrain on the mountain.

Could it be that Xiao Shitou was lucky enough to escape from the human traffickers during his lifetime?

But if that's the case, how could Xiao Shitou die at such a young age?

Moreover, Xiao Shitou died almost eighty years ago. At that time, this mountain should not have been developed. Would human traffickers bring Xiao Shitou here?

Questions came one after another, and Song Mian finally chose to trust Xiao Shitou and climbed up the hill with the children.

There were wounds on his hands, body, and even face caused by thorns and weeds. Song Mian pushed the children all the way up, listening to the sound of Xiao Shitou muttering in his ears.

"After crossing this hillside and walking a little further, there's a small river with lots of fish in it, and the water is very clear... Keep walking and you'll find the way down the mountain. The way down is a bit steep, but there are many trees along the way, so if you hold on to them, you can move forward normally. Once you keep walking, you'll arrive, arrive..."

Song Mian looked meaningfully at the small stone beside him.

Little Stone didn't notice Song Mian. He was trying hard to recall the fragments of memory that kept appearing in her mind.

He seemed to gradually remember some key things.

For example, the mountain road in front of you, or some things that happened in the past.

He had also walked this way before, bringing some people down the mountain.

However, he couldn't remember who he was with.

But he clearly remembered that it was not only himself who led those people down the mountain, but also Brother Hongsheng and other friends.

They were a group of children who came down the mountain with a group of people whose identities he could not remember.

As he thought about it, Xiao Shitou felt a splitting headache and didn't go any further.

On this side, Song Mian resolutely followed the path pointed by Xiao Shitou and walked all the way down.

The key point is that after Song Mian took this path, he discovered that everything Xiao Shitou said was true.

There were many strange rocks along the way. After they walked down the hillside and walked a short distance, they came across a small stream. Then, a downhill path surrounded by trees and covered with weeds appeared in front of Song Mian and his friends.

"We're saved!" Watching the road stretch all the way to the bottom of the mountain, Song Mian looked back vigilantly: "Although this road is hidden, those human traffickers may not be completely unaware of it. Come, let's speed up and go down the mountain. No matter what, we must not be caught by those human traffickers."

The children nodded quickly and followed Song Mian down the mountain quickly.

The mountain road was winding and twisting. Even though Song Mian and his companions tried their best, their overall speed down the mountain could not be increased much.

Not only that, walking on the bumpy mountain road, Song Mian could clearly feel that his physical strength was being consumed very quickly.

If she is like this, what about the five children who follow her?

So, Song Mian bent down and carried the youngest girl, Taotao, on his back. "I'll carry each of you for a while to help you recover your strength. We must strive to get down the mountain as quickly as possible..."

The children nodded obediently, and Song Mian continued to lead the children down the mountain. Suddenly, he saw a light flashing quickly from the woods on the upper left in the distance.

Song Mian blinked and watched as an anesthetic needle pierced through the leaves, brushed against her arm, and pierced into the ground with a "puff".

The moment he saw the anesthetic needle, Song Mian's heart sank. He first looked down at the pillow sunk into the ground, then looked up at the mountain road.

Under the moonlight, Wang Dashan, holding a flashlight and a tranquilizer gun, approached Song Mian aggressively. "You little bitch, you're so smart about finding a way to escape! It's a pity. No matter what I say today, I'm going to capture you and those little bastards and teach you a lesson!"

The children, who were already nervous, could no longer suppress the intense fear in their hearts the moment they saw Wang Dashan, and they all burst into tears.

"Run! Run!" Song Mian pulled the children and staggered, trying to speed up.

However, the protruding rocks on the ground greatly limited their speed.

Little Stone and the other little ghosts urged them on.

"Sister Song Mian, run! There is a cave down there. I will take you away after you go in!" Little Stone said hurriedly.

"Kids, find a way to catch your sister!" Song Mian said, and could only hold the other two younger children under his armpits.

At this time, Song Mian was already exhausted and sweating profusely. He gritted his teeth and fled with the children. Finally, before Wang Dashan caught up, Xiao Shitou led them into the cave he mentioned.

It was pitch dark in the cave. Song Mian walked in with the children in the dark. Following Xiao Shitou's signal, they walked behind a rock and hid.

Signaling the children not to make loud noises, Song Mian put his index finger to his lips as a gesture for silence, then stuck his head out to look.

The light of the flashlight gradually approached, and Wang Dashan walked into the cave.
