Chapter 415: The night is dark and the wind is high

It was a picture of a mountain with rocks. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

There is only such a lone mountain rock on a blank piece of paper, and the lines are so rough that it is almost impossible for people to find out where the mountain rock is based on the map.

Shao Mingyuan found that Qiao Zhao's expression was a little strange.

"Zhaozhao?"

Qiao Zhao stared at the mountain rocks that appeared on the white paper in a daze, his lips moved, and he spit out a sentence as if he was struggling with all his strength: "I know where this is!" ”

Shao Mingyuan couldn't help leaning forward: "Where is it?" ”

Qiao Zhao raised his eyes to look at him, his butterfly-like eyelashes trembled slightly, and he pursed his lips and said, "This is the rockery in my garden!" ”

Shao Mingyuan was stunned at first, but then felt that it should be like this.

Such a rough and featureless mountain rock, painted alone on a blank paper, if it wasn't something that Zhao Zhao was extremely familiar with, how could his father-in-law deliberately let Zhao Zhao hand it over?

This letter, looking at today, except for Zhao Zhao, I am afraid that anyone will be confused.

Shao Mingyuan couldn't help but secretly admire Lord Qiao's meticulous thoughts.

This letter should be the worst plan made by Yue's father-in-law.

"There is a cave in the rockery in my garden, the direction of the cave mouth happens to form a convective wind, when I was a child, I often hid in it every summer to enjoy the cool, and I know by heart every line of the rockery. Qiao Zhaomo held the letter paper and muttered, "I don't know what is hidden in the artificial cave, and whether it was destroyed in that fire." ”

"Just go and see."

"Wang Xianling is staring at it."

It's one thing to take the initiative to lure the snake out of the hole, it's another thing to do have something important to search. For those who are accustomed to taking the initiative, they naturally don't want to make a fuss.

"Evening."

Qiao Zhao was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Okay." ”

In the middle of the night, it happened to be a little overcast, dark clouds obscured the moonlight, and a few stars were dim.

It's frighteningly dark outside.

In the dark, Shao Mingyuan took Qiao Zhao's hand and said in a low voice: "There is no moonlight, but it is convenient to act." ”

Miss Qiao didn't know what to say at all.

There's no moonlight to make things easier, so someone can pull her hand openly?

Of course, this time Qiao Zhao didn't struggle.

The priorities are urgent, it is the right thing to go to Qiao's garden to find out, she can't even see the road clearly at night, someone holding her hand is at ease, otherwise if she falls, it doesn't matter if she falls, it doesn't matter if she hurts, she will have a headache if she alarms others.

Qiao Zhao's obedience made Shao Mingyuan smile slightly.

The girl's hand was so soft that he couldn't help but squeeze it.

Qiao Zhao scolded: "Shao Mingyuan! ”

In the night, he couldn't see the girl's expression, only that this "Shao Mingyuan" was like a disobedient feather, tickling in his heart.

"Don't make a sound." The man leaned into the girl's ear and whispered.

As soon as the words fell, he suddenly wrapped his arms around her waist, rose from the ground, and climbed the wall with his other hand.

Outside the wall, it was a faint darkness, and the grass and trees could not distinguish the outline, and they stood quietly like ghosts.

Shao Mingyuan took Qiao Zhao to the ground silently and asked in a low voice, "Stand firm?" ”

Qiao Zhao nodded.

Shao Mingyuan let go of the hand that wrapped around the girl's slender waist and said softly, "Then let's go." ”

"The stalker solved?" Qiao Zhao asked in a low voice.

"It's solved, don't worry about this, that person is sleeping soundly now, and he won't know what's going on when he wakes up tomorrow, he just thinks he accidentally fell asleep."

In the dark, the two of them clasped hands and walked through the apricot grove.

Only the broken walls of the Qiao family's compound stood in the dark night, revealing horror.

For the home where she has lived for many years, Qiao Zhao has no fear in her heart, and when the man next to her takes her hand and walks in, there is only bitterness in her heart.

She and the man around her have made a family decision a long time ago, and it was her grandfather who made it himself.

In the two years before her grandfather's death, he had been urging her to marry quickly, which shows that his old man was looking forward to her marriage.

Did my grandfather also look forward to the day when she and the man next to her walked hand in hand into the apricot grove's home to see him?

Thinking of this, Qiao Zhao used force in his hand and grasped the man's wide and rough hand tighter.

Shao Mingyuan noticed it, and his eyebrows hidden in the darkness raised slightly.

"Watch your step." He whispered in the girl's ear.

"Go this way." For his home, Qiao Zhao is familiar with every corner with his eyes closed.

She grabbed Shao Mingyuan's hand, walked around in the dark, and came to the rockery.

The back garden is the place where Qiao's family has been preserved the most after the fire, and the rockery that has been piled up for many years and the pool not far away has not changed much, but the smell of rotten branches and leaves faintly comes from the pool, and the beautiful scenery of the lotus flowers in previous years is no longer seen.

The entrance to the cave was swarthy, like a beast hidden in the darkness with its huge mouth open.

Only then did Shao Mingyuan light the qi death wind lantern he carried with him, blocked the light with his tall figure, and bent down to probe into the rockery.

Although the entrance of the rockery cave is narrow, it is not small inside, and under the light, you can see that the hole is full of dust and weeds, and there is nothing else.

"General Shao, I'll go in and take a look, please take a good look."

Shao Mingyuan grabbed her: "I'll go in, it's dirty inside." ”

"No, you're tall, go in and tie your hands, besides, you're not as familiar as me."

Shao Mingyuan took Qiao Zhao's hand: "Wait a minute." ”

Qiao Zhao stopped to look at him.

Shao Mingyuan looked around with the lamp, bent down from the edge of the pool, picked up a bamboo pole, and took it in his hand to explore the cave.

He probed very carefully, not sparing any corners and corners.

Suddenly, something was wrapped around the bamboo pole and went upstream flexibly and quickly.

Under the light, Qiao Zhao could see clearly, it was a blue-green snake.

She didn't scream, but her face turned white all at once.

It is conceivable that if she had gone in directly just now, the snake might have climbed on her.

"Shao Mingyuanβ€”" Qiao Zhao shouted in a low voice.

Shao Mingyuan was as fast as lightning and stretched out his hand to throw the snake into the distance, and asked her sideways, "Scared?" ”

Qiao Zhao shook his head: "No." ”

"Go inside, be careful." Shao Mingyuan straightened up and gently threw the bamboo pole to the ground.

"Thank you." Through the hazy light, Qiao Zhao could vaguely see the other party's face.

His eyes were brighter and more beautiful in the night.

Qiao Zhao suddenly didn't dare to look at it anymore, and lowered his head and got in.

Shao Mingyuan put the lamp into the entrance of the cave, and the cave suddenly lit up.

Qiao Zhao raised his hand and touched the stone wall in the cave.

Every part of it was familiar to her, and she could draw it with her eyes closed.

Her father only gave her a piece of paper with a rockery to draw on it, to tell her what was hidden in it.

Qiao Zhao touched the stone wall inch by inch, and searched for all the gaps in the stone crevices that could hide things in his memory, but found nothing.

The man standing at the entrance of the cave suddenly turned off the lights, and his tall body squeezed in.
