Chapter 427: Being a thief has a weak heart
Just when Zhou Ming felt strange, he heard a dingdong, and then caught a glimpse of a small string of flames, and directly made a noise, and actually began to burn a fire, this fire burned three or four meters high, but it was still to the top.
What surprised Zhou Ming even more was that the wood was not ordinary wood, but a more precious sandalwood.
The space inside is more like a natural stone cave, not the same era as the luxurious hall below, but it is babbling and elegantly built.
In the middle of the place was a huge stone, and then a spring of water came out and dripped into a small pool, which spread out into countless trickles that ran through the dark ground.
And Zhou Ming finally saw those medicinal herbs, many of which were plants that he had never seen before.
In addition to the old man who began to open the door, then several old people in ordinary clothes came out, carrying wooden barrels and holding bowls made of bamboo, watering these herbs little by little, and as far as the eye could see, there were probably hundreds of them.
Because these people are very meticulous, Zhou Ming can also deduce that these things are indeed very precious.
Half an hour later, an old man closed the door, and the wind stopped abruptly, and the smell of burning sandalwood was everywhere, and then a man came with a bucket, and took out a handful of things from the bucket, and sprinkled it, and it was actually pearl powder!
After about another hour of busyness, the old man put out the fire with a wave of his hand, and then it was dark, and they were gone.
However, there are a few unknown plants that shine.
"Husband, are you dumbfounded?" Xia Wan's voice came.
"I never thought there would be such a thing," Zhou Ming sighed.
"This is just a reservation of the Nangong family, the real core place, it is much more shocking than this, husband, you have to understand the things of people at this level now"
Indeed, when he arrived in this kind of place, Zhou Ming felt like a turtle.
"Xiaowan, are we still not moving?" Zhou Ming asked.
"Wait" In the dark, Xia Wan continued to lean on Zhou Ming, and the two waited by the wall.
After a long while, Xia Wan finally moved, and Zhou Ming hurriedly followed.
Although the light here was extremely dim, Xia Wan was still able to move easily, and soon she squatted down, moving slowly in the dark, and then Zhou Ming felt that she was stuffed with something in her hand.
"Husband, you have special pockets on your clothes," Xia Wan said.
Zhou Ming touched it, and sure enough, he found a few special pockets, he carefully hid the herbs in them, and then followed closely, but he didn't feel any pressure.
"Xiao Wan, what's the use of these glowing things?" Zhou Ming was about to reach out and touch it.
"Don't touch it, this is highly poisonous, not medicine, but a poisonous insect that was planted to make these medicinal herbs grow smoothly," Xia Wan said.
But Zhou Ming's hand had already touched the herb. As soon as he wanted to speak, he suddenly felt a movement in his chest, and a small thing quickly climbed from the position of his heart to the position where Zhou Ming grasped the herb.
This thing was actually able to fly, and it climbed directly on the herb and began to gnaw.
"I almost forgot that you still have this," Xia Wan said.
"You gave it to me, you actually forgot it?" Zhou Ming said dissatisfied.
"But who knew that the husband carried this thing with him, I asked you to cultivate a honeycomb" Xia Wanjiao snorted.
So the two of them continued to walk around here, and in less than a moment, Xia Wan had already collected more than a dozen medicinal herbs, but she suddenly moved, grabbed Zhou Ming at a very fast speed, and dodged to the side, covering Zhou Ming's mouth.
You have to listen very, very carefully to be able to hear the slightest sound of footsteps, someone is actually coming! Xia Wan attaches so much importance to it, which means that this person is not simple, and Zhou Ming is also holding his breath, trying to find the other party's location.
Xia Wan was even more like she was really in a stillness, the worst thing now was that the poison bee was still gnawing on the glowing herbs, and finally Zhou Ming saw clearly, the man walked to the side of the glowing herbs, it was the old man who started to open the door, he squatted down and stretched out his hand, wanting to catch the poison bee.
The seemingly slow movement was suddenly lightning fast, but the lazy and lazy poison gas bee also became extremely fast, and then disappeared in an instant.
The old man sighed, a little surprised.
Zhou Ming felt that the poisonous gas bee had flown to his neck and crawled to its original position.
The old man didn't seem to have left, step by step, and disappeared into the darkness, but throughout the whole process, Xia Wan remained motionless, and Zhou Ming also remained motionless, gradually, he found that Xia Wan's palms were slightly sweaty, and it turned out that she would also be nervous.
Zhou Ming didn't know that Xia Wan was purely nervous about him, because he couldn't speak now, and if he showed his stuff, it would be a big trouble.
This time began to become very slow, very slow, just when Zhou Ming was waiting impatiently, with a click, the fire that had been extinguished was lit up again, and the light shone brightly in all directions in an instant, and the old man glanced at the medicinal herbs, frowned directly, and pressed a button next to him.
I didn't hear any exaggerated alarms, but a lot of people came.
Don't think about it, the stealing herb was discovered.
Although the other party can't find the two of them now, it is still a little troublesome to be exposed to the fire.
"How much was stolen?" an old man asked directly.
"Sixteen, people shouldn't have left the diversity yet, go and inform Mr. Jin immediately to see if it's someone who mixed in from the young lady's banquet. "The original old man was obviously in charge.
"The other party can't be that kind of extremely strong master, it should be something to cover up your whereabouts, you guys look for it inch by inch, see if people might be hiding there," the old man ordered the others.
Zhou Ming frowned, if he really looked for it inch by inch, then it would be easy to find some clues, no, absolutely not!
Sure enough, the men began to search on the ground.
"Go and bring the watchdog," the old man said again.
Zhou Ming felt a sense of crisis, he didn't move, just like wood, and then a fine sweat actually broke out on his forehead. Xia Wan was a little strange, Zhou Ming was so nervous?
Then Zhou Ming turned around with very slow movements, just like Ji Qì people, hugged her ****, and turned into a princess hug, and Xia Wan was taken aback, but she didn't dare to speak, and only hinted to Zhou Ming not to move with her eyes.
But Zhou Ming continued to maintain the same posture as the machine qì person in slow motion, and then took the first step, Xia Wan's beautiful eyes only had helplessness, and then she simply didn't move, I really didn't know what Zhou Ming was going to do.
Because Zhou Ming walked very slowly, no one noticed anything abnormal, but a person suddenly pounced forward, startling him, and then continued to walk around with the beauty in his arms, and the target was actually the place where the herb was.
