The well looked unremarkable, not unlike any other common wellhead. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
It's just that the wooden bucket next to the wellhead that ushered in the water attracted Xie Zhuoyan's attention, her eyes lit up, and then she looked at the old woman and said.
"Is your water here so sweet, from this well?"
Xie Zhuoyan said, and her footsteps moved towards the well.
The old woman still smiled and nodded as usual and said, "I hit it from here, the mountains and water here are good, and the water I drink is naturally sweet, and I can't forget it after drinking it once!" ”
The old woman trembled and walked over with Xie Zhuoyan, looking at Xie Zhuoyan without a trace.
Xie Zhuoyan stood by the mouth of the well, and landed on the wooden bucket that was drawing water, and then smiled slyly.
Sure enough, yes!
Now Xie Zhuoyan urgently needs to find the bandits' hiding place.
Xie Zhuoyan's eyes swept over the entire courtyard in an instant, and in the small courtyard, the furnishings were very simple, except for one room, only this well was left, which could be seen clearly at a glance.
The bandit gang initially formed a gang, and at least there would be a dozen or so members, and it was obvious that there was no place for them in this compound.
"Can I just take a look?" Xie Zhuoyan asked the old woman with a smile.
The old woman's face was solemn for a moment, but she immediately recovered and said, "I have something to see here, just such an empty courtyard. ”
Xie Zhuoyan said as she walked into the house: "This reminds me of my grandmother, and I feel very kind. ”
Xie Zhuoyan walked in, her eyes sweeping every floor without leaking.
The old woman walked after her, her expression slightly flustered compared to before: "Girl? ”
Xie Zhuoyan swept every corner of the floor in the room, and even moved the table, but still found nothing.
When the old woman learned that the visitor was not good, she looked hurried and shocked, and pulled Xie Zhuoyan vigorously and said, "Girl, what are you doing here, this is my home." ”
Xie Zhuoyan hung her head in discouragement, she was really anxious just now, revealing her intentions, and then she thought about it, since this is the case, it is better to turn this yard upside down.
After thinking about it, Xie Zhuoyan didn't say a word, and immediately rushed to the yard, and looked carefully from inside to out, from left to right.
The old woman knew that something was wrong, and she looked flustered but deliberately pretended to be calm and slowly moved her steps.
The old woman wanted to be okay if the girl didn't find out, and she would notify them as soon as she found out.
Xie Zhuoyan had no clue, her heart was like a mess, she looked at the old woman angrily, and when she saw her strange behavior, she strode and dragged her over.
"Where's the man?"
The old woman was frightened, her body was already weak, and she was shaking even more at this time, her tongue stammered, and she shook her head and said, "I don't know what you're talking about!" ”
"Don't lie to me, that barrel is obviously filled with water every time before it is pulled up, there must be someone else besides you!" Xie Zhuoyan roared angrily.
When she saw the wooden barrel at that time, Xie Zhuoyan's eyes lit up, and she walked over and looked at it and saw that it was greasy.
Because the barrel carries water all year round, the inner wall of the barrel has an obvious dividing line, and the dividing line is extremely high, how can the old woman who needs to walk and need crutches to pick up a full bucket of water.
When the old woman heard Xie Zhuoyan say this, she was immediately speechless, her hands and feet kept shaking, and even her mouth trembled, and she couldn't speak at all.
You must know that the old woman had met many passers-by before, and had invited them into the house for a meal, but no one had ever noticed anything unusual.
She never imagined that it was the inconspicuous barrel that exposed all this.
Xie Zhuoyan saw that the old woman didn't speak, so she didn't ask anymore, and dragged her with one hand, walking through every corner of the yard while dragging her.
"Isn't it here?"
Xie Zhuoyan asked no less than ten times, but the old woman was silent, and when Xie Zhuoyan didn't know how many times she asked, the old woman finally shook her head and said, "I don't know, I really don't know." ”
Xie Zhuoyan's eyes were cruel, she snorted coldly, then squatted down and carefully looked at the piece of land, reached out and stroked it a few times, and suddenly moved, as if she had discovered something.
Xie Zhuoyan reached out again to pull the piece of land in front of her, and after pulling all the stones and sand on it to the other side, she saw a dark wooden plank.
Xie Zhuoyan's gloomy face finally showed a smile, and she couldn't wait to lift the plank, but she heard a shrill bell suddenly echoing throughout the courtyard.
Xie Zhuoyan frowned and turned her head to look, it turned out that the old woman was pulling a rope just now, Xie Zhuoyan had to let go of the old woman in order to pull the sand on the ground, and unexpectedly let the old woman notify the bandits underground.
Xie Zhuoyan didn't wait for a moment, and immediately jumped in, and after her eyes regained her vision, Xie Zhuoyan couldn't help but be surprised.
I didn't expect that there would be such a magical place under the courtyard.
Lit by candlelight along the way, Xie Zhuoyan passed through a tunnel-like place, and after walking for a short time, she came to a place with a large space.
However, Xie Zhuoyan didn't feel spacious, because at this time, there were already five big and three thick men standing in front of him, all holding weapons in their hands.
Xie Zhuoyan was stunned for a moment, thinking that everyone had almost run away, but who knew that they were actually waiting for him.
"It's really a man," one of the men said with some sarcasm.
"I thought the eldest lady was confused, it turned out that this little girl was confused." Another man said with a *** smile.
"Don't shout, everyone, be careful, there are still reinforcements if you can't keep it." A square-faced, relatively calm man said.
"What reinforcements can there be," the lewd man said disdainfully, and then turned to the little brother behind him and ordered: "Let the eldest lady return the things to their place." ”
The younger brother nodded in response and trotted away.
"Even if there are reinforcements, I don't think they can find it here," the man smiled and rubbed his palms, walked up to Xie Zhuoyan and said, "This girl is so good-looking, I have never seen such a good-looking woman!" ”
As he spoke, the man stretched out his dark and rough hand and picked up Xie Zhuoyan's chin.
Xie Zhuoyan shook off his hand, causing everyone to laugh.
"Still a stubborn one!" But the man was even more energetic, and he pursed his thick lips and was about to kiss Xie Zhuoyan.
Seeing this, Xie Zhuoyan's eyes instantly sank, and Ling Ran's terrifying aura instantly filled the surroundings, and her charming eyes contained ruthlessness, which made people shudder.
Seeing this, the man was involuntarily stunned, and looked at Xie Zhuoyan's eyes, but he suddenly didn't dare to move a bit.
"What's wrong, why don't you kiss!"
The other unnoticed bandits on the lookers cheered. (To be continued.) )
