Chapter 4: Dead End

At the third watch, the two soldiers quietly unlocked the outer door, and then several figures rushed in, and the prison soldiers were knocked out silently before they could react. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 The men changed into soldiers' clothes and stood guard outside the door, and then two locks were opened, and two of them went into the inner cell. There were patrol soldiers outside the prison, and the two soldiers who opened the door earlier went to answer the question.

The swallow sat on the ground, closed his eyes but did not sleep, and then the inner cell door opened.

It's a cat. The swallow knows whether to chase it or not.

"Your 'you really came,' I'll give it back to you." The swallow laughed. "Since you are not willing to be Wei Wuyu's minions, and you want to know the secret of the wooden house, you will definitely come to me."

"Since you're happy, I won't grind circles." Hu Mao'er smiled, "I let you go." You take me into the cabin. ā€

Swallow shook her head, "You let me go, and I'll tell you what I saw and heard in the cabin." ā€

"It's better to see it yourself. Maybe you lied to me, maybe you were deceived. Hu Mao'er laughed, took out a small porcelain bottle, and poured out a red pill. Three-day intestinal pill. If you eat it, I'll give you the antidote when I get out of the hut safely. ā€

The swallow chased after it and put it on the tip of its nose, and it was a lost soul. Swallow chased, "Poisonous." You don't believe me? ā€

"Why should I believe you?" Hu Mao'er laughed.

Yan Zichai looked at the pill repeatedly and couldn't help but smile bitterly, "You have to think about it, I always feel that there is an eerie smell in that place, and if I go again, there may be some surprises." ā€

"Even if I die there, I happen to have someone with me. If you don't want to be buried together, you must be careful not to let accidents happen. Hu Mao'er said.

"Then I'm going to have to look out for your safety first." Swallow chased after the pill and smiled, "How do I know if you will keep your promise?" ā€

"You don't have to choose." Hu Mao'er said.

Yanzi chased after Hu Mao'er and smiled sullenly, "You'd better keep your promise." "Don't hesitate to swallow the pill directly.

Hu Mao'er clapped her hands, and the woman who followed Hu Mao'er came forward to change her clothes with Yanzi, and then a man with black sores on his face sent the two out. After leaving the prison, the cell door was closed again, as if no one had come.

At this time, it was close to dusk, the gate of Xinling City was about to be closed, and the two of them went out of the city and went straight to Baoyue Lake. When it got dark, the two of them sneaked into the inner courtyard again. Swallow chase is already familiar with the road. Silent recitation: On the sixth day of the first month, the Tianmen Bureau, there are no clouds and the moon is bright, and the white child is gone. These bureau swallows have long been familiar with the chest, and then they point to the white drop point forward, and Hu Mao'er followed.

When I entered the wooden house again, I saw that there was no one inside. It's just that the eerie chill is still there, and the wind blows through the wooden house, and it's silent.

"No one is there?" The swallow chases.

Hu Mao'er was even more puzzled and looked around but did not find that there was only a wooden bed, a wooden table, a worn curtain, and two half-lit oil lamps in this wooden house. Is this all there is to the cabin? That's what Wei Wuyu tried to hide?

"There must be another way out of this place." Hu Mao'er said. Talking and groping around, he felt something abnormal when he touched the wooden pillar on the left, Hu Mao'er turned the wooden pillar happily, only to hear the soft sound of the floor, the floor in the middle of the wooden house was sinking, and the place where the depression was a tunnel. The swallow chased stiffly and pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled, "The people here seem to have dug a hole and escaped." Our deal is that I take you into the cabin, and you let me go safely. As for this tunnel, it is not in the scope of the transaction. ā€

Since he came, how could Hu Mao'er return empty-handed? "Our deal is that you take me into the wooden house and make sure that I leave the wooden house safely, now I am going to leave from here, if you want to die here with me, it is better to make sure that I can leave alive first." As he spoke, he picked up the oil lamp and handed it to Yanzi and said with a smile, "You go down first." ā€

It's just a way to explore, the swallow is not afraid to chase, jump down with the lamp to see that there is still a slanting down staircase in front of the left, the swallow chases step by step cautiously, and dares to settle down only after confirming that there is no mechanism. The two sides of the stairs are narrow, and after walking a dozen steps, they begin to slowly become open, and then suddenly open up downward, and the front is sparkling, and there is water in front of you and you don't know how deep the water is. This is an artificially dug underground waterway! The swallow chased the lamp to see, only to see that the tunnel was two feet wide, only to see that both sides were gray stone slabs, and there was water seeping out from the left wall to flow to the right, I am afraid that the ground ahead is even lower. Yan Zichai looked around again, and faintly felt like a chill in his back, and suddenly realized.

She had always felt that something was wrong, but now she finally understood. Hu Mao'er was not wrong, she was deceived. The man who called himself Gongxi was lying, maybe he was really the prince of Beirong, but he was by no means imprisoned here. He has limited mobility, so why bother so much if you just want to imprison him! At this time, I suddenly remembered that day Rose and Yunnilu, where is this used for imprisonment, this is clearly used for protection!

Who is the man who calls himself 'Gongxi'? Swallow chased the conceited and clever and was teased one day, thinking about laughing at himself, and shouted upward, "Safety." It's an authentic. There is water. ā€

Hu Mao'er also jumped down, but saw that it was completely dark, and the swallow chased and didn't know where it was. The cat was startled and touched the dagger with his hand and stood aside. Yanzi heard the sound of Hu Mao'er coming down, and said with a smile, "I don't know where the tunnel leads, and a light is enough." ā€

What is the swallow chasing for? Hu Mao'er sneered, held the dagger and moved forward cautiously, and after taking a few more steps, he suddenly stumbled into the water with one foot in the air, and the light went out. Swallow chased but laughed, "Although this water is not very clean, you will not die." As he spoke, he turned the oil lamp back on, and it turned out that the swallow was sitting in the boat and had reached the middle of the water.

"You just say you want to keep going, but you don't ask if there is a road, and you don't ask if there is a boat. If it weren't for this boat, wouldn't it be possible to swim forward? Swallow laughed.

Hu Mao'er got up from the water and twisted his clothes at will, "I am born with a good water nature, and I can't drown." As he spoke, he jumped on the boat and looked at the swallow and said, "My master can't know how to water all his life, but he likes to eat fish from the Dalang River." But whoever has an apprentice throws a man into the water, and he is not allowed to go ashore until he catches a fish, and he who does not know how to swim can only drown. Of the seven people who went with me, I was the only one who survived. ā€

Yanzi smiled coldly, and his heart was really two masters and apprentices. The two said no more, and the swallow chased the boat forward. The water depth in the middle should also be a foot, and the boat can only walk along the side if it can't hit the end. However, there is a left turn in the tunnel after a dozen steps, and another left turn after about twenty steps. Turn left again, and it will be bright, and there will be oil lamps on the stone wall on the road, and the oil lamps are inlaid in the stone wall with strange shapes. This maneuver is repeated all the time, and the individual straights get longer and longer. Where does such a tunnel lead? I didn't encounter any traps along the way, and I kept moving forward as if there was no danger. Thinking that this tunnel was probably going around the wooden house, the water was still flowing slowly forward, and I didn't know how far I had gone, let alone how deep it had been underground.

The tunnels still repeat and repeat, seemingly endless. We had already passed the lighted passageway, and it was dark ahead, except for an oil lamp burning on a wooden boat. Changed to Hu Mao'er to support the boat, the swallow chased and sit, and could only hear the sound of the wooden pole paddling. Swallow chased suddenly understood, understood that something was wrong! It's too quiet!

With her ears, even a flying insect should have heard, but there was nothing. Weird, weird! Not to mention the purpose of digging tunnels. Even a hand-dug tunnel shouldn't be free of bugs. Swallow felt a chill, and it seemed that the air was condensed, "Did you hear anything?" ā€

"Nope." Hu Mao'er said, suddenly suddenly, there was no sound! This place is a place of death! The cat froze, holding the wooden pole but did not move. The current was still babbling downward, and it only made a small splash when it touched the hull of the boat. Because of this splash, the idle tunnel is no longer so quiet, as if there is a trace of vitality, but I don't know that this trace of vitality is a dead end!

Suddenly, there was a few ticks, and the swallow chased it and stood up instantly. Hu Mao'er thought that it was a trigger, and immediately became vigilant, and when he found out that it was a drop of water, he relaxed slightly. But when they heard a loud bang, the two looked up in shock, only to see the huge stone on the top of the cave loosening and smashing downward. The two of them abandoned the boat in shock and fled along the narrow edge, only to hear the sound of a landslide behind them, and a hundred and ten boulders fell one after another, and the two ran out until they were dozens of feet away before stopping. Looking back, I saw that the boulder filled the ten-zhang land, sealing the way back, so that there was no way out! Even if the two of them have the ability to reach the sky, how can they smash the ten-zhang thick bluestone? In this case, don't say it's her, even if it's a Zhu Mandao again, there is nothing to be done.

The stones were neatly organized, as if they were hanging from the top, and the cat looked strange, fumbling around for the mechanism, and asked, "What did we come across?" ā€

Swallow chased back and shook his head, there was nothing abnormal all the way, could it be because he stopped just now? This is a way in and out and there is no turning back!
