Huangfu Chongcong said, "...Oh, I remember now. Today, when I was asking around on the street, I found an empty clinic. Although there were people from Tianshu Tower wandering around the clinic, they didn't seem to want to go in."
Huangfu Ning said that this most dangerous place is also the safest place. The place Huangfu Chongcong mentioned might be a good place to go. "The uninhabited and unsuspected medical clinic seems to be the territory of Tianshu Tower. Well, it's worth considering. Let's go there now to check it out and explore the route."
Huangfu Chongyou hurriedly said, "Leave now? But it's already dark, and we haven't eaten yet!"
Huangfu Ning said, "Eat, eat, eat. All you do is eat. It's as if I've starved you all this time. Can you please finish your business first?"
However, Huangfu Chongyou, who was so hungry that he started to talk a lot, protested strongly: "But we are growing up now, and eating well is also a serious matter!"
Faced with the protest of a growing child, Huangfu Ning finally had to compromise: "...Why are you so talkative when it comes to eating? Okay, okay, eat, eat, eat quickly. Don't forget the little tails you brought back with you."
After eating and drinking, Huangfu Ning quietly jumped out of the window and left with the three teenagers. At this moment, the little tail following behind them saw that the lights were still on in the guest room and there were shadows of people moving around, so he didn't suspect anything and continued to stare at every move in the guest room quietly.
Led by Huangfu Chongcong, the four of them took many detours and finally arrived at the clinic that Xiahou Qing had opened when he was hiding his identity. Of course, they didn't know that because this was once Xiahou Qing's place, the people in Tianshu Tower didn't pay much attention to it.
After cautiously entering the house, Huangfu Ning whispered, "If anyone dares to light a lamp or make any noise, I will turn around and send him back to South Vietnam tomorrow. I will also write a letter and tell your parents that you have never done a good thing by my side, and that is why I sent you back. Do you understand?"
Seeing the three young men remaining silent, Huangfu Ning nodded and said, "Very good. Be gentle and don't alarm the patrolling personnel."
Although this place had been uninhabited for a long time and the house was filled with a musty smell, anyone with normal eyes could tell that it had once been a pharmacy. Huangfu Ning thought that the pharmacy was not big and that the layout should be similar to most small pharmacies, so he took his juniors directly to the warehouse.
Thinking that although this place was not 100% safe, it was safer than staying in an inn, Huangfu Ning signaled everyone to start packing up and make a place to rest.
After they separated, one of the three brothers accidentally knocked something over, scaring Huangfu Ning: "You little brats, I told you not to touch things, can you please give me some peace of mind..."
Huangfu Chongjun said, hadn't he just asked to clean up the place? How could they clean up without moving things? "I'm not moving things around, it just feels a bit out of place here."
As he spoke, Huangfu Chongjun moved the candlestick on the wall. It creaked, as if a secret door had opened. Congratulations to the obsessive-compulsive disorder patient for discovering a secret room.
Following the direction of the sound, they found a hidden door in the wall that appeared to be movable. To ensure safety, Huangfu Ning found a tinder, lit a candle, and placed it in the secret passage. After a moment, seeing that the candle was burning normally, he signaled the children to pick up the luggage they had put away and go in to investigate.
After entering, with the light of candlelight, the three brothers suddenly became more talkative and no longer as cautious as before. Even walking in the dark passage, they would complain: "Hey, what's that smell? Why is it so bad? It smells like dried-out rice from the previous night. It makes me want to vomit."
Huangfu Chongjun explained, "You don't understand this, right? This smell is the legendary future that has been sealed in the dust. It seems no one has been here for a long time."
Huangfu reminded: "I just checked it out. Although the sound insulation here is not good, we can't be too impulsive."
The secret room wasn't big, and the passage wasn't long either. Soon they reached the end of the room. Huangfu Chongyou took a quick look around and instinctively reached for the candle in his bag. Although there was air circulation here, he felt like it would be pitch black even during the day. He wondered if the candles he brought would be enough. "Uncle, are we going to live here from now on?"
Huangfu Ning nodded and said, "Until we find a better place, we'll stay here. To avoid being discovered and causing unnecessary trouble, we'll have to go out before dawn and come back late at night."
Leaving early and returning late wasn't a big problem. What Huangfu Chongjun was concerned about was, "But this is a secret room. How can we know what time it is?"
"I'll remind you," Huangfu Ning said. Huangfu Chongcong, who was a bit timid compared to the others, suddenly screamed as if he had discovered something, startling everyone. At the same time, they immediately adjusted themselves to a state of alert and prepared to fight: "Ah!"
"What's wrong!"
Huangfu Chongcong ran over and hid behind Huangfu Ning, pointing in the direction where he had just stood and said, "I was so scared, so scared, I think I touched something weird just now!"
Huangfu Ning gestured for them to stay where they were, then lit another candle and walked over. However, all he found was a jar filled with moldy things. "...It's just a medicine jar. Better light the lamp first, or you'll startle me and make me sick. When you leave tomorrow, clean out the moldy and rotten things in here, and bring back some flowers and plants to brighten the atmosphere."
After being frightened by his brother's startled expression, Huangfu Chongjun finally calmed down and carefully observed the environment they were in. "Uncle, I think this place used to be a place for refining medicine. Look at the furnace and medicine pots, but it looks like no one has used them for a long time."
"Let's not talk about what you did in the past. I think this place is pretty good. You three were full when you just came out. You should clean up and go to bed early." After saying that, Huangfu Ning took the tinder and planned to leave the secret room.
Huangfu Chongcong quickly grabbed his sleeve and asked pitifully, "Uncle, where are you going?"
Huangfu Ning patted his forehead and said, "Don't worry, Uncle won't go far and will be back soon. After all, we are staying in someone else's place, so we have to be prepared."
