Chapter 178: There is a park in Decheng
At this time, he sensed that something was wrong, since the cellar under Ye Xuan and Wei Wei's house could lead here, then the other buildings should also be able to do it, in other words, the so-called secret place was most likely not at the end of the road?
He quickly denied this inference, after all, if you just want to connect two locations, you can dig a passage, so why bother so much.
Thinking about it this way, Bai Xiu became even more curious about the place where the other end of the road was connected.
He walked forward for another twenty minutes or so, and at the end of the road, a mine came into view.
This made him cry and laugh a little, could it be that this hellish place is an abandoned mine cave and mine tunnel?
But he had never heard of any minerals hidden under Qucheng.
Anyway, it's all here, it's okay to go in and have a look, Bai Xiu looked intently for a while, and after making sure that there was no one nearby, he turned on the flashlight and walked in slowly.
Beneath his feet was a hole that sloped downward, and standing at the entrance, he could clearly see that there was a lot of space below.
A gravel path passes through the culvert below and disappears into the darkness.
Bai Xiu paced cautiously, the hole was full of stones and discarded tools, it seemed that his guess just now was true.
But judging by the extent of the decay of these tools, they must have been abandoned here thirty or forty years ago.
Presumably the deposits have been exhausted, or the miners have found more valuable veins, it is no wonder that few people know about the existence of this cave.
He walked along the gravel path, and the space behind him gradually shrunk into a passage one person wide and two meters high.
Bai Xiu originally thought that this was a small mine road, but the further down he went, the more he felt that something was wrong—the traces of the excavation here were much newer than before, and the construction was very neat, and there were no stones scattered around, but it looked like a dark tunnel.
He immediately perked up, and it seemed that his initial guess was not entirely wrong, there was indeed a secret site hidden inside, and this abandoned mine cave was just a front.
Sure enough, after he continued walking for about ten minutes, there was a faint voice of someone talking in front of him.
Bai Xiu hurriedly turned off the flashlight and touched it carefully.
In front of him was a small room, near the entrance was a table with a blanket piled up on it, and a few empty mineral water bottles thrown under the table.
It depends, someone has been here for a long time.
And the sound came from overhead.
The ceiling of this room was made up of several flat stone slabs, and the one facing the table was slightly protruding, which he estimated could be removed.
Bai Xiu didn't dare to make much noise, and it wasn't until the person above walked away that he climbed onto the table and gently pushed the stone slab open a crack.
The dazzling sunlight shone in instantly—he had slept all night, and it was now noon the next day.
Bai Xiu felt a little strange in his heart, he didn't sleep so deeply, unless he unconsciously followed the way of others, but before this, he didn't seem to notice anything abnormal......
He resisted the doubts in his heart and carefully observed the gap.
This exit should have been opened close to the ground, and from this angle, he could only see the bottom of a few flower beds in the yard.
Behind the flowerbed was a room, and he could even see the quaint patterns on the door frames.
And it was these patterns that made a cold sweat break out on his back, they were so familiar, so familiar that he had been watching them for almost fifteen years.
That's right, the mine was connected to the yard where he lived.
Bai Xiu couldn't come back to his senses for a while, and many questions lingered in his mind—this group of people opened this route to spy on him?Who are they?Is that guy-faced guy one of them?
Why is Ming Yuchu here, she just discovered this secret, or is she one of them in the first place?
If it is the former, then the shards she has been investigating in addition to the fragments of the Tribulation Ding are Yingzhou, could it be that these people who are monitoring him are also affiliated with Yingzhou?
No wonder Li Kan was hinting at him between the lines before, they knew his every move well, and the appearance of this secret path made sense.
The feeling of powerlessness came back to him, he thought he had hidden it well, but the events of last night revealed a reality he had to face, he had been under their surveillance all along.
Even now—
He had a flash of inspiration in his head, and immediately jumped off the table and was about to retreat, but unfortunately it was too late, and a cold barrel was pressed against the back of his heart.
You must know that no matter how good his kung fu is, he is afraid of kitchen knives, let alone guns, he didn't dare to move in an instant.
What made him even more suspicious was that he didn't know when this man had come with him, which was far more terrifying than being held at gunpoint.
In the face of the silence that followed, Bai Xiu knew that the other party was waiting for him to speak, so he asked tentatively, "I don't know what Your Excellency is doing?"
The person behind him was still silent, and after a while, he used the gun in his hand to write on Bai Xiu's back.
Bai Xiu couldn't help but think of the person who secretly helped him in Lizhen, and that person refused to even reveal his voice at that time, must have been afraid that he would recognize who he was.
Could it be that he also knows this person?
Just as he was thinking about who the other party would be, a strong wind hit behind him, and before he could react, he fainted in a pain in his stamina.
In fact, Bai Xiu did not completely lose consciousness, and in a daze, he felt that someone was carrying him on his back.
They had walked a long way, got into a car after going underground, and then he smelled a rather familiar smell, like a damp, pungent musty smell, exactly what he had smelled in the cellar.
After that he didn't know anything, he guessed what kind of drug it was.
When he opened his eyes again, the first thing he saw was the wall, and he was stunned for a moment before he realized that he was actually lying at the bottom of a well.
This made Bai Xiu have to wonder if he was dreaming again, but unfortunately he was too clear about the dream and reality, and he could only accept the fact that he was thrown into a well.
This is also too unbelievable, if this person wanted to kill him, why didn't he shoot him at first, but instead took him a long way and finally got here?
And the word that the other party wrote on his back, if he didn't feel wrong, it should be a "tower" word.
Tower?
Bai Xiu became more and more puzzled in his heart, could it be that someone brought him here to find some tower?
Wait a minute –
He thought about it, if that man and his accomplices were really from Yingzhou, then their instructions must have something to do with the Raider Fragment - maybe one of the Raider Fragments was in a tower.
No, still no.
Bai Xiu shook his head secretly, if they found a clue, it shouldn't be difficult to get it with their ability, how could they need his help, is it really the same as the magic circle of the White Mound Secret Realm, only he can unlock it?
If so, things are going to be easy.
He didn't mind being a pawn for others to ask for directions, and it would be all up to nothing until he could find his parents and solve the mysteries of twenty years ago until he got the remaining fragments of the Tribulation Ding.
He immediately stood up and took in the situation around him.
This is a dry well, with a diameter of more than one meter, and although it is almost ten meters high, it is not difficult for him to climb it.
The question arose again, what was the purpose of them throwing him in the well, it wasn't just a random thing, right?
Bai Xiu checked his things while thinking about it, and when he opened the box, his expression changed instantly.
There were only two pieces of paper left in it, and the letter his aunt had written to him was gone, and he hadn't had time to read it!
Things are getting more and more weird, why don't these people take anything else and choose this letter alone?
What exactly did his aunt write in the letter, and did they take it and think it would be useful to them, or did they think it would be useful to him and didn't want him to see it?
Bai Xiu vaguely realized that he had most likely missed a very important piece of information, but it was useless to regret it for now, and the answer to this question could only be revealed when he saw his aunt again.
The most important thing he needs to do right now is to get home as soon as possible, and hopefully he hasn't "slept" too long this time, otherwise he will miss more than just the answer to this question.
Bai Xiu supported the wall of the well, using both hands and feet, and finally climbed out of the well.
Outside the well was a deserted yard overgrown with weeds, with only a muddy path winding its way to the dilapidated gate.
He drifted over in confusion.
The two rows of doors were already rotten, and he gently broke them, and the door panel immediately turned into a handful of sawdust and fell from his palm.
When he walked out of the courtyard gate, he saw an equally lifeless alley in front of the door.
At the end of the alley is a junction, two aunts are walking from the side of the road, seeing him full of confusion, their faces are suddenly filled with enthusiastic smiles: "Housheng, are you here to find relatives, you can't recognize the place?"
Bai Xiu's heart moved, nodded along with the words of the two, and said politely: "May I ask, what was the name of this piece?"
"I'll just say it. One of them complained, "In recent years, they have been changing back and forth, not to mention you as an outsider, but many of us locals can't tell the difference." ”
Native?
Bai Xiu didn't sound like he was from Qucheng when he heard her accent, could it be that he was really in a coma for a long time?
If so, he finally knew why the gang had come up with such a series of strange actions, and it is estimated that he did not wake up after waiting for a long time, and he was afraid that someone would find him, so he simply hid him in the well.
Seeing that he was stunned, the other person thought that he was a little impatient, so he quickly interrupted his companion's nagging and replied, "This used to be Citrus Town, but now it has been changed to Fanlong District.
The Wenming Road in front of it has long been called Huaqi Road, and there is a park there that is very famous, I don't know if you have heard of it?"
A name popped into his head: "Jiunongqiao Xihu Park?"
The two clapped their hands happily: "That's right, that's right, now it's been renamed Red Twin Towers Park, and many people don't know the original name, do you remember that you came to Decheng when you were a child?"
Bai Xiu's thoughts drifted to other places at once.
If it was really the people from Yingzhou who brought him here, if they were indeed looking for other Fragments of the Tribulation Ding, then Decheng was indeed a place that was unexpected and reasonable for him.
Because he suddenly remembered that in addition to the developed economy of this city, the so-called "Red Twin Towers" is the most famous, and it can be regarded as another city card of Decheng.
So will the Fragment of the Raider be there?
"Auntie, how should I go to Jiunongqiao Park now?" Bai Xiu asked.
Now that he is here, of course he has to go and find out, and even if he doesn't find anything, it's not too late to make another plan when the time comes.
Besides, Wei Wei is also in this city, and he just happened to go to see her.
Hearing his question, the two became interested: "What a coincidence, we are going to dance there, let's take you there by the way." ”
Bai Xiu noticed that it was really late at this time, and it was the favorite activity time of the uncles and aunts.
He felt a little helpless in his heart, but he didn't expect that his previous premonition finally came true - it would take about a day to drive from Qucheng to Decheng, and it was obvious that it was already the next day, that is, the eighth day of August.
He waited for so many days, but in the end he missed the appointment, but fortunately there was a new clue here, otherwise it would be a pity.
