　　正在这个时候，就听到后院的门响了起来，悠悠和小灵妖们吓了一跳！他们知道有人来了！
　　小虎妖勇随手打开了一扇门，拽着大家躲了进去。房间里一片黑暗，悠悠过了好久才看清房间的样子-----四周空荡荡的，除了角落的一个大箱子和几个大麻袋以外，其他的什么都没有。
　　脚步声越来越近！悠悠跟小灵妖们躲在门后，连气都不敢喘。过了一会儿，门口又传来搬东西的声音，数数的声音，聊天的声音……声音不断，他们躲了很久，一直等到一切都安静下来了，就听见一个男人问道，
　　“都处理好了？”
　　“放心吧，像以前一样，翅膀都拔下来了，彩粉都放进了罐子里，碟蛹都在麻袋里，随时可以送到山上。阿黄已经在布置炸药了，一会儿等他回来，让他把云之蝶搬过去，一切就大功告成了！”一个女人说道，“我现在就想赶紧回到咱们的大房子里，这间小破屋子实在太臭了！”
　　“忍忍吧，明天就好了。”那个男人又说道，“咱们以前太傻，总是趁黄鸟睡着了，从药箱里偷偷拿药出来。明天咱们干脆趁黄鸟睡着了，用炸药把神的药箱炸开。嘿嘿，只要药箱打开了，咱们以后就要什么有什么了！”
　　“咱们以前用偷来的那一点儿药就挣了大钱。这里的谷民真蠢，竟然相信咱们是好人，给咱们送云之蝶。”女人兴奋地说道，“他们却不知道云之蝶对黄鸟有催眠的作用。黄鸟一旦吃了云之蝶，就会睡着。等黄鸟醒了，发现药少了，就生气，就会下山追踪仙药的去处，凡是吃了仙药的人就会受到黄鸟的攻击。”
　　男人大笑道，“愚蠢的谷民还以为黄鸟是恶鸟，却不知道是我们从中搞的鬼。就算明天咱们把黄鸟一起炸死了，谷民们可能还会拍手叫好呢！到那时我们拿走所有的仙药，不仅挣了钱，还有了云之蝶的蝶粉。”
　　“谷民们如果知道云之蝶的蝶粉如果涂在云上，是可以长时间不掉色的，他们一定会气疯了！哈哈哈。”女人也笑了起来，“到时候阿黄怎么办？他知道咱们这么多坏事……”
　　“如果明天炸药炸了，他被炸死了，就不会有人知道咱们的事了。他藏在床底下的金子也都是咱们的了。”男人坏坏地说道。
　　“哈哈哈哈。到那个时候，咱们有足够的云之蝶的彩粉，有仙药，有足够的金子，再也不用回到这里了！”女人高兴地说道。
　　“咱们把剩下的炸药都拿过去吧，让阿黄回来搬云之蝶。他太懒了，上次他干到一半就偷偷跑回家睡觉了，这次跟他说好了，只要他多干活，就给他加一倍的金子。”男人说着，一边朝悠悠和小灵妖们躲着的房间走了过来。
　　脚步声越来越近，小虎妖勇吓得浑身发抖，他在房间里到处找，想找个藏身的地方，可是房间里除了一个大箱子可以容身以外，什么躲得地方都没有！他毫不犹豫地打开箱子，往里就钻，没想到脚下一空，“啊~”地一声掉了下去！
　　悠悠一听到勇的叫声，赶紧跑过去，发现黑幽幽的箱底竟然是个洞口！箱壁上挂着条绳子，通向洞底。
　　“勇，你没事吧？”悠悠冲着箱底轻声喊道。
　　“没……没事。还好我吃了掌中草。”勇小声地说道，“不过这里好黑，我害怕，你们快点下来吧！”
　　悠悠跟小灵妖们正往下走，就听到门口说话的声音。悠悠赶紧关上箱子，抱着小龟妖仁，带着小长颈鹿妖智，顺着绳子往下飘。他们刚飘到一半，就听见勇在底下轻声喊道。
　　“快来看呀，这里有光！”
