I was startled when I saw that there were two people. I thought it was the witch and that man outside. But after taking a closer look, I breathed a sigh of relief because these two people weren't the witch and that man, but rather Su Ping and the black-clad person.

  I was really shocked to see them appear here. After I walked out of the stone gate, and after the stone turtle returned to dust, and I also walked to Su Ping's side, I asked Su Ping: "How did you end up here? And how did he end up appearing with you?" I pointed at the man in black and asked.

  After I finished speaking, Su Ping smiled at me and followed up with a question that had nothing to do with what I just said: "How did you get out?"

  "What can I do if I don't come out? Han Jingjing is unreliable, and the stone rooms inside have all been turned upside down by me, there's nothing good in them. Can't just starve and freeze to death in there, right?"

  Su Ping smiled and said: "It would be strange if you could find something good in the stone room!"

  "What did you say?" Su Ping's words suddenly caught my attention.

  "This I can't say, let the black-clad person Ah Cong by my side tell you." As she spoke, Su Ping glanced at the black-clad person beside her.

  Right behind, the man in black said to me: "Hello, my name is Ah Cong. I heard Su Ping say that you are the outsider Gusu Yi who deceived the witch and miraculously survived."

  "Oh! It's me, Ah Cong big brother hello." I don't know why, but talking to this man in black, I somehow feel a bit uneasy, as if his aura is suppressing me...

  After exchanging greetings, Ah Cong said to me: "It's like this, several hours ago, Wu Po brought Da Li, oh, that is the man following Wu Po, back to her house. At that time, I hadn't rested yet, and I saw Da Li holding many things in his hands, but he didn't come in, only Wu Po walked in with a flustered face. After she came in, I greeted her and was going to go out to see what Da Li was holding, but Wu Po didn't let me go out."

  After taking a deep breath, the man in black continued: "Later, the witch found some other things in the house and took out a bag. She asked Dali to put everything he was holding into it. I saw that there were bottles, jars, and books being packed away. After they finished packing, the witch told me to stay behind and watch the house. She said she had to go out with Dali on an urgent matter and wouldn't be back for a while. Then she left in a hurry. When I realized something was off, I went to find Su Ping. Luckily, she had just returned home, so I told her everything, and she also told me about your situation. That's why we came here together. My guess is that the things Dali was holding were probably some precious treasures from the stone room that are very important to the witch. She must have known that this place had been discovered by someone, so she prepared to move her treasures away under cover of night."

  It wasn't until the man in black said this that I suddenly realized, no wonder when I entered those two stone rooms with mechanisms earlier, they looked messy and disorderly. It must be that the good things inside were hastily taken away by the witch, which is why it was like that.

  After the man in black finished speaking, I looked up at the sky and asked them: "What time is it now?"

  "It's half past three in the morning." Su Ping replied.

  I heard it was around this time, I nodded, and then I suddenly thought of Su Ping's escape, so I asked her.

  "I'm really curious, where did you get the nerve to lure the witch and the man out? You know, when we came in, we didn't pay attention to how to open the mechanism to get out. Don't talk nonsense about doing it for me, I don't believe it, we're all clear-headed people, each with our own interests."

  Seeing me ask this, Su Ping smiled and said: "Others are really for you, can't you see that?" When saying this, Su Ping also deliberately twisted her body a little.

  "Come on! Although I'm very grateful to you, but I think you suddenly did this, there must be some reason, or say you must have a foolproof plan, just tell me about it, so that I won't keep thinking about it in my heart."

  I've already made it clear with Su Ping, whether she tells the truth or not is her business, and finding out why she did this is my business.

  Seeing me ask like this, Su Ping stared at my eyes for a while before finally sighing and saying.

  "Alright! Since you're so eager to know, I'll tell you the truth. After we entered and saw Han Jingjing, you and I went to the stone room in the water cave to look for something we needed. However, after searching around, I ended up at the stone gate passageway on the other side of the river."

  "Huh? Where are you going all of a sudden?" I asked curiously.

  "I'm a cautious person who thinks things through carefully. After searching around for a while, I thought of going there to find the exit mechanism and prepare my way back. When I reached the end, I saw that protruding stone and pressed it down. As soon as I did, I knew something was wrong."

  "What's going on?" Su Ping's words made me focus my attention instantly.

  "I have some knowledge of the mechanism, otherwise I wouldn't know about the underground cave beneath the small river outside the village. After I pressed that stone, it suddenly transmitted a rebound force to me, and at this time, the mechanism was also activated. This shows that someone outside had already activated the mechanism before me, so when I pressed the stone, a rebound force would be generated."

  "What? Someone outside has opened the mechanism, could it be the witch?" I asked.

  Without being interrupted by me, Su Ping continued: "I found that someone outside had triggered the mechanism, so I quickly ran back and observed from a distance. Sure enough, after a while, the silhouettes of Wu Po and Hanzi slowly appeared in the stone gate passageway. When I saw them, my heart skipped a beat, and then I quickly ran back to tell you that Wu Po had arrived, and then took you to hide."

  "Oh! So after the witch discovered someone was inside, you knew in advance how to trigger the mechanism to get out and that's why you bravely jumped out. You snatched the centipede from the witch's hand and helped me distract them?" I analyzed.

  "You only got it half right, in that situation, the safest thing to do would be for me to distract her. Besides, the black-clad man had told me before that the witch's body wasn't doing well and she couldn't run at all. That big guy may have been incredibly strong, but he wasn't very fast when it came to running. And what I'm best at is tailing and ambushing, I've honed my skills in tracking and escaping. Moreover, even if I were discovered by the witch or caught by her, the only one who would suffer would be me myself. But you're different, if something happened to you, it would affect others too, like Han Feiyan who helped you with your disguise and aided you in deceiving everyone. Not to mention, I don't want anything to happen to you because I actually care about you!"

  When Su Ping said this to me, I got goosebumps all over. Then I loudly asked Su Ping: "Don't be so cheesy, what you're saying is so fake, do you think I'll believe it? Alright, no more nonsense, what are you doing here with the black-clothed men?"

  Seeing me ask this, Su Ping glanced at the man in black and then replied to me: "Although the witch and Hanzi have left, they may not come back at any time. Taking advantage of this precious time, I called the man in black to let him go in and take a look at that Han Jingjing. The man in black has followed the witch for many years and has learned some superficial knowledge, maybe he can make Han Jingjing recover normally."

  "What? Really?" Su Ping's words made me extremely surprised.

  "This isn't going to fool you, and this time, the man in black has come here too, with something he wants to know. He's also been wanting to find this place! Because he thinks this place has the answers he wants..."
