In a corner of Mr. Zhao's manor, in the garden next to the servants' quarters, there is a five-story bungalow with unique decoration.
Its structure is in the shape of a "back", with a green lawn outside and a very spacious patio in the center where many people live.
Although the building here is not as grand as the main building, it is one of the few luxurious places in the entire settlement.
Everyone in the house calls this place "the annex".
Everyone who lives here is a distinguished guest in the master's house, unless they are confidants or confidants.
Family members, or servants dedicated to serving them, are definitely close to here.
It is precisely for this reason that even though this annex is located in a secluded corner away from the main building, it still
There used to be a large number of servants waiting on horseback.
Yang Xiaoyang has been here since he was born.
People here are very kind to her, especially her grandfather, grandmother and mother

Especially the master, he treats her as his own. In addition to his meticulous concern, he
She was also allowed to study with the lady, play together, and wear the same beautiful dress.
Even more than that, he also gave her a privilege that other children did not have - Yun
Allow her to leave the annex freely.
As long as she is in the manor, she can go anywhere she wants.
And if it were other children, even if they just walked to the garden outside the annex, they would
The servant who was seen took him back.
Of course, as the price of freedom, there are always one or two who never speak.
Her uncle followed her wherever she went.
Even when she goes to the toilet, she will guard at the door.
Her good friend Yinyin, the master's youngest daughter, asked her father to send her a message for this reason.
Get over your temper, hoping to drive away that annoying stalker.
However, the master who loves his little daughter in every possible way has never been satisfied with this matter.
Ken relented and even got furious and locked his daughter in a small dark room.
Xiao Yang had never seen his master get so angry before, and quickly persuaded Yin Yin that he was actually
I don't mind being followed.
Because she discovered that during the few days when her good friend was locked up in the dark room, she followed
There were two more pairs of eyes behind her, and the uncomfortable feeling of being stared at became even stronger.
Already.
Maybe the master is suspicious.
He suspected that he had encouraged his daughter to help him escape from here.
In short, she lived very cautiously during those days, and for this reason, she deliberately acted clumsy.
My feet have poor ability to take care of themselves. I can’t live without someone to take care of them. I have to take care of them every day.
Next to her aunt, she pretended to be pretentious for a long time before she dispelled the master's wariness.
Although he is only six years old, he has been living alone and dependent on others since he was a child.
She is far more precocious than her peers.
Even though no one had ever told her those complicated things, she learned from other people's
You can see some of it in your eyes, those intentions that are carefully hidden.
The reason why those uncles followed her was not in the manor... for her safety.
I'm just worried about her running away from the manor.
The master's love for me is not because he is pitiful or cute, let alone
The reasons he claimed were just because of her father.
And the relationship between the master and his father is not the same as that between himself and Yinyin.
Close friends are just adults using each other purely.
Adults always like to come up with a deceptive name for what they are doing.
To cover up the original ugly motives.
She didn't quite understand what a businessman did, but she occasionally heard someone mention that her father helped
Master, give it a try
The village's things were sold outside and made a lot of money.
Dad put her with her mother and grandparents
My father's sincerity and continuous help are exchanged for the master's female affection and money.
to help, and the master used her, her father's only remaining relative in the world, to
Tie him here.
It is precisely for this reason that the master asked Yinyin's teacher to teach her how to read and write.
This is not to let her learn any knowledge, or to give Yinyin an age to learn.
The playmates, who were almost acquainted with each other, were just for her and her father to write letters and answer questions.
Perhaps those letters her father wrote to her were just to reassure her husband.
Not sure? After all, if he was so important to him, why didn't he even
I would like to come back and see myself.

Court, and the reason why he still maintains this father-daughter relationship is just to gain the master's trust, not out of concern for himself.
Worry. It's not impossible.
I heard that before her father, there was a businessman who helped the master. Suddenly
Then one day I lost contact with him. I don’t know if he died or if he disappeared unilaterally.
Already.
Anyway, she was no longer in the manor with the family that the merchant had left behind.
Saw it.
Maybe one day in the future, she will be like that family.
However, she does not hate her father.
Grabbing the lamb's hands, Yin Yin looked at her excitedly.
I remembered a wonderful place! It is absolutely impossible for anyone to find you there!
Come with me!
Looking at her sworn expression, Xiaoyang felt vaguely uneasy.
And today they have already played a joke with the adults in the manor, the same joke
It's not funny if you laugh twice a day.
She was pulled by Yinyin and jumped down from the fountain. Xiaoyang looked at her with an anxious look and said
road.
Next, Yin Yin... How about tomorrow we,
Let's go again. Someone must be following us now. If we go now, that
Unforgettable seat ticket
Isn’t the position exposed?
Don't worry, Miaomiao, who doesn't know how, leaned close to her ear and lowered her voice.
He said that the place is in the annex... In the annex, there won't be people following you.
?
Xiaoyang hesitated for a moment and nodded slowly. If it was in the annex.
I shouldn't be angry, right?
Seeing this timid and fearful best friend, she finally plucked up the courage.
Jin raised a happy smile.
follow me!
After saying that, she took Xiaoguan and Hu Fang to call the store
Every comment hurriedly ran in the direction of the annex.
Following the young lady anxiously, Xiaoyang looked at Bei, who had led him to the annex.
Building, passed through a dark stairwell, and arrived at the basement level of the annex.
Xiaoyang had heard of this place. It was the warehouse of the annex, but because he had to move things
It is not very convenient to move out. There is nothing to store in this annex, so it takes a long time.
No one has used it.
Usually if there is something that needs to be put away temporarily, everyone just throws it on the patio.
That empty space.
After living here for so long, this is the first time she has come back.
It was pitch dark in the basement, there were no electric lights, and the only light source was Yin Yin's hand.
The flashlight the sheep brought down. The gloomy and cold melting into the darkness made the lamb’s
My calves couldn't help but tremble.
The same goes for Yin Yin standing next to her.
She held a flashlight in her hand and stood motionless. Obviously, she didn't
I never thought that the basement of this annex would be so spacious.
It's like a maze here!
Where should we go? The little sheep glanced at Yin Yin timidly, looking forward to it
The latter was able to retreat despite the difficulties and gave up the idea of exploring the basement.
However, she still underestimated her best friend's determination to give her freedom.
Yin Yin, who was still hesitating at first, just met the hesitant and timid gaze, and the look in her eyes
That trace of hesitation disappeared in an instant.
She promised her that she would definitely give her freedom.
She also hopes that she can live freely without having to endure the prying eyes.
sight.
There is no more suitable place than here. Although it is a little dark, but from a different angle
I think this might not be the best disguise.
In this maze that no one cares about, even if it's not hide and seek, she can hide in it
Come stay for a while, even if it's just for a few moments without prying eyes.
Of course, you can come here when you are unhappy.
The corner of Yinyin's mouth couldn't help but curl up into a smile. Thinking about it this way, this place is like
Their secret castle is the same.
Maybe her prayers were answered. She heard a faint sound in the dark.
ring.
That voice seemed to be calling for something. What exactly was it saying?
She immediately pointed the flashlight over. This way!
Seeing Yin Yin suddenly starting to walk forward, the little sheep quickly followed.
Yin Yin...why don't we go back.
Wait a minute! Just ahead, we'll be there soon!
Looking for the source of the sound, Yin Yin was very interested
, Yin Di walked forward.
She has gradually forgotten that she was trying to help her best friend find a perfect girl.
hiding place, yet
It was because I kept walking in order to hear what the voice was saying. Maybe it was both.
Xiaoyang looked at her back anxiously, always feeling that things seemed to be gradually deviating from the original
track, but it’s impossible to say what went wrong.
Yinyin seems to be very familiar with this place. Has she been here before?
Obviously I haven't come down yet. Sure enough, I should go back early. It's just my own words. If they disappear at the same time, the master will definitely

Crazy.
The two walked in the dark basement for a while and came to a room full of sundries.
between.
I saw behind a pile of abandoned wooden boxes, and sure enough,
There is a rusty iron door standing beside Ren Duifa.
If you don't look carefully, you won't even notice it. At least the first time she saw it, she recognized it
Think of it as a piece of junk leaning against the wall.
This is.
Yin Yin stared at the door with sharp eyes.
I don’t know, but it should be here. Confused.
Xiaoyang finally couldn't help but asked her doubts?
Sister Yin Yin, how did you find this place? Yin Yin looked at the lamb strangely.
Didn't you hear? The little sheep was stunned for a moment.
hear?
Aren't they the only two here? Is there a third person?
Her little face gradually turned pale. Yes! Yinyin nodded vigorously, happy
I said excitedly, silently praying in my heart that it would be great if I could find that door.
When I was there, I heard that voice! Although I couldn’t understand what it was saying, I could
I can feel that it says a lot of things, and it should be an invitation for us to come over!
heard it
So what exactly did you hear?
Xiaoyang looked at Yinyin blankly and was about to ask, but saw that she had already walked up excitedly.
Go, grab the rusty door handle with both hands, and search back with all your strength.
Lamb! Help me!
Looking at the motionless iron door, Xiaoyang said in a dumbfounded voice.
Wait a minute, Sister Yinyin, we don’t have the key, so if we just search like this
What are you talking about? This door has no keyhole at all. It should be able to be opened directly.
It's open! I feel it's moving! Come and help me
Before she finished speaking, her movements suddenly stopped abruptly, and her eyes lost their look.
Before Xiaoyang could come to her senses, she saw her hand loosening her grip on the doorknob and falling limply.
On the ground. Yinyin-!
Electric shock? Or poison gas?
The lamb's face turned pale, but in the end he did not turn around and run away. He gritted his teeth and rushed over.
He held up Yin Yin, who was limp on the ground, with both hands and dragged her away from the door.
However, even after leaving the door, Yinyin showed no sign of waking up.
If he wasn't still breathing, he looked as if he was dead.
In the end what happened?
Looking at the motionless iron door, the little sheep's eyes were full of fear, and he did not dare to stay here for a moment, dragging the unconscious Yin.
Jun returned to the entrance of the basement, and then rushed to the stairs to ask for help.
It's pitch black outside.
It didn't feel like a long time had passed, but it was already dark outside.
Xiaoyang, who was standing at the door of the north building, looked around and found that the place was empty.
No one is there.
it's wired
Although they were in the annex, they had disappeared for almost half an hour, and there was no one there.
People come to them as if they have completely forgotten about them.
All kinds of abnormal situations made her eyes feel uneasy, but because of
Worried about the bacteria, she still mustered up the courage to shout out.
The lady fainted! Is there anyone here...come here quickly-
Before she could finish her words, a dull and rude growl interrupted her voice.
broken.
em
I saw a woman holding her head and shoulders, standing close with her neck tilted.
In the corridor of the stairwell, a pair of blank eyes were looking straight at her.
That look was indescribably weird.
There was a coldness that penetrated deep into the bone marrow in his eyes.
Seeing the woman limping towards this side, Xiaoyang swallowed and was shocked.
He stepped back in fear.
Don't, don't come over.
She didn't know why she wanted to run away, but her legs moved instinctively, dragging her
With her stiff body, she rushed toward the stairwell as if lifeless.
Her instinct told her that if she was caught, she would be doomed.
The moment she rushed into the stairwell, the woman sped up her staggering steps.
He roared and rushed towards her.
Not daring to look back, the little sheep rushed to the basement and used all his strength to pull down the people in the basement.
The door was slammed shut, and at the same time, he grabbed the steel bar that had fallen to the ground and inserted it into the door handle.
Almost at the same time, a loud bang came from outside the door, followed by the door panel.
It shook violently and something hit it.
ah--!
The little sheep screamed and took two steps back, looking at the crumbling door panel with tears in his eyes.
Terrified.
She didn't know what was going on with that woman, let alone what was going on outside.
What.
Everyone is obviously a very good person, and they always treat her kindly.
Why did it suddenly look like that?!
The sound of banging on the door suddenly stopped. The man outside seemed to have given up.
The lamb squatting in the darkness held its breath and stared straight at the closed door.
Board, dare not send out—
Make a little noise.
She was sure that the man hadn't left.
That heavy breath was even on the door! She could even conclude that,
The person was waiting for her outside the door, waiting for her to open the door a little to see what was going on outside.
He immediately rushed in and tore her into pieces.
But why?
What happened to everyone?! They were sitting in the dark shivering, not knowing
After a while, the little sheep felt that his eyelids were about to start to
While Mi was fighting, a faint sound suddenly came from the darkness behind him.

At first she was frightened by the movement, until she heard her name.
Character.
lamb……
The sound was like a candlelight lighting up in the darkness.
Hearing the weak call, the little sheep immediately rushed over and knelt next to Yin Yin.
Next to him, his eyes filled with tears, he held her soft and weak hand.
Yin Yin!
sorry……
It's okay, just wake up! No, it's not.
Yinyin shook her head with a painful expression, held her head with both hands, and murmured to herself
He was mumbling, it’s all my fault, I shouldn’t be smart enough to find it... It must be angry if it’s angry
It's because of me that you're angry.
...Angry? The little sheep's eyes were full of confusion.
Her intuition told her that what Yin Yin was talking about at this moment was related to what was happening outside.
Could it be...that voice?!
However, Yinyin had no intention of explaining. She just held her head and muttered to herself.
Repeated that sentence to himself.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry...Yin Yin! Calm down
The little sheep grabbed her shoulders and was trying to comfort her to calm down, but he held his head and
Yin Yin, who was feeling resentful towards herself, suddenly grabbed her hand.
Little sheep... help me... Little sheep recognizes
The sheep looked at her seriously.
What do you need me to do? I will definitely help you!
A smile of relief appeared on Yinyin's painful face.
Tie me up, tie me up, tie me up?!
Well! A trace of pain appeared on Yinyin's face, and a large amount of sweat broke out on her forehead.
Shui urged urgently, hurry...hurry up!
Seeing her trying her best to endure something, Xiaoyang suddenly thought of that person outside.
Woman, then her hands and feet felt cold.
Could it be that she also...
...it's too late.
Her patience seemed to have reached its limit, and Yinyin's face was filled with despair and she was on the verge of collapse.
His consciousness suddenly dimmed along with his increasingly hollow eyes.
It's fine……
For some reason, the little sheep suddenly felt less afraid.
She squeezed Yinyin's hand and said softly: I will stay with you...
The sheep in the sheepfold will be eaten one day, no matter how it feels about the shepherd's family
Love is so good. If you want to say why, it is because it is the moment it is born.
Things that have been decided.

Instead of worrying about things that have already been decided, it is better to live happily every moment seriously.
God, at least I will live up to the joy and happiness of this moment.
She has a good relationship with the shepherd family, especially the little daughter of the family. She can
I feel that in this manor, only Yin Yin does not ask for anything in return, and sincerely treats
She is good.
They will all be eaten in the end anyway.
If it was Yin Yin, it wouldn't be bad. At this moment, several voices suddenly came from outside the door.
A brief gunshot, followed by a low roar and random running, and golden
It's a dull sound like cracking bones.
Day one—it’s not over yet!
Xiaoyang heard someone talking, but she couldn't understand what the person was saying.
There was a short crash and something spilled onto the ground.
The man pulled out something and kept talking.
Damn, this Dogecoin mission only gives you 100,000, it’s like losing money to my grandma’s family! No,
I don’t seem to have any money yet... Fool!
As the voice fell, there was only a bang, and the crumbling door panel was knocked
He kicked his feet away and fell to the ground.
The little sheep stared blankly at the door.
I saw a jet black armor standing there.
The helmet covered the man's entire face, and his expression could not be seen.
He held an automatic rifle under his right arm and a short knife in his left hand.
The bottom was covered with blood, and there seemed to be a few pieces of meat hanging on it. It looked extremely hideous. Your name
Character?
She understood this sentence.
Although she didn't recognize the person in front of her, she still answered tremblingly.
lamb.
The man breathed a sigh of relief and said something incomprehensible to her.
