Chapter 20: The Chamber of Secrets
"Aren't you leaving? Someone's coming? Xie An only felt that the magnetic voice was like a breeze blowing through her ears, making her feel itchy.
"Can't you just go?" She closed her eyes and muttered in a daze.
Although the voice was soft, the man listened to it word for word. He looked at her strange posture and gently spat out two words: "Danger." ”
Xie An also opened his eyes suddenly, and quickly lowered his legs and sat up straight, as if he heard the assembly number in his sleep. She has been in ancient times for so long, and she has pressed her temperament everywhere, trying to adapt to this era, just to protect herself. Life is the most important thing, and she doesn't dare to bet on whether she will return to modern times or die in ashes after death.
The man couldn't help but laugh when he saw her alert appearance, what kind of situation could force a little girl to be like him?
"Let's follow." With a few words, the man walked out.
Maybe it was because the tone was too much like an order, maybe she was concerned about getting out of danger, or maybe she was subconsciously reassuring of him, Xie An followed without thinking about it.
Out of the pavilion, the man's pace became larger, and Xie An had to speed up his pace and trot to keep up with him. Unexpectedly, he took her out of the corridor and turned around and walked towards the sea of flowers.
She was wondering if she would meet the person she was hiding, but the man didn't know what he had done, and a secret door appeared in the flowers. The man walked in, and Xie An followed him without thinking about it.
The door behind him closed silently, and the secret passage suddenly became pitch black. Xie An had never practiced martial arts, so he naturally couldn't see things clearly in the dark, so he reluctantly shouted softly: "Hey, I can't see, you wait a minute." ”
As he spoke, he reached forward and touched his feet, and his feet reached forward little by little. Suddenly, the palm of her hand touched the slippery fabric, she grabbed it, and the person also moved forward, and the aroma of cold water came to her nose.
It seems to be closer. Xie An also grimaced in the dark, did she, a modern person who is accustomed to being close to the opposite sex in the elevator, break the bottom line of the ancients?
The man who was grabbed by the sleeve looked down at the villain in front of him, thinking of her grimace just now, a little helpless. Growing up so big, what kind of woman he has never seen, but he has never seen her like this!
"Don't move, there's no road ahead, it's not a tunnel, it's just a small dark room to hide."
Xie An also heard the words in his ear, slowly let go of his hand, took half a step back, and distanced himself from the man.
By this time, her eyes had begun to adjust to the darkness, and she could faintly see the tall figure of the man and his half-squinted eyes.
It's a little embarrassing. Just now, Xie An was just about to leave without paying attention, but now when he stopped, he suddenly found that the two of them were facing each other, only half a step away. No one spoke, quietly, only the gasps of each other could be heard in the darkness. The cold water fragrance on the man's body was mixed with the faint floral fragrance on her body, and it smelled indescribably good.
In order to alleviate this embarrassing atmosphere, Xie An had to pretend not to care and look at the dark room.
Sure enough, as the man said, this dark room is very small, about two square meters. Because it was narrow, barely enough to stand two people side by side, she was at first mistaken for thinking that it was just a secret passage leading to somewhere.
But she thought it was strange why someone would build such a small place, and why didn't they just make a secret passage to a safe place in the first place?
But soon, she found out why. In this place, you can hear the voices outside. Although the voice was very soft, because the dark room was so quiet, it reached her ears word for word.
"People aren't there." A deep voice said.
"No way. The person who sent out did not come back to restore his life, and he must have folded in his hands. The master said that he might have secretly left Beijing, could it be that the information was wrong? Another voice said.
Xie An also glanced at the people around him, and sure enough, he was from the capital. The man also looked at Xie Anyi at this time, and saw that she was not surprised, but had an unsurprising look, so he smiled at her and generously admitted it.
At this moment, the voice outside sounded again.
"Have the people in the temple investigated clearly?"
"Yes, there is nothing suspicious. Most of them were female dependents, and a few pilgrims passing by in the outer courtyard only moved in yesterday. ”
"Don't be careless, he's very cunning, don't act rashly. Send a few more people, continue to investigate these days, don't startle the snake, we just need to have evidence that he is here." The speaker stopped, and it was quiet outside.
After a while, it was still quiet outside, and Xie An was a little tired from standing, and she estimated that she was almost going to rest at this time of the day.
So she reached out and touched his sleeve and asked in a barely audible voice, "Can you get out?" ”
The man shook his head.
Xie An didn't dare to move. I don't know if Aimo will be in a hurry if she can't find her. If Aimo saw that there was no one in the pavilion and turned back to look for her, if there was a difference in her look, would she be discovered by those people outside, see the clues, and then find out her relationship with the man. Isn't she being implicated in this way?
Thinking about this, she became worried. The man seemed to sense the change in her feelings, and said softly, "Don't worry, your maid is fine." ”
Are you the roundworm in my stomach? Xie An really wanted to ask him!
Obviously he only looks like he is about twenty years old, and he has just entered college at this age in modern times, how can he be so calm and do things without leaks?!
She was about to ask him a few more questions, when another voice came from outside: "You guys are guarding around here." Then there was silence again.
It seems that they really don't know when they will be able to get out. Xie An also thought of this, stroked the hem of his skirt with his hand, and sat down with his legs bent.
The man was obviously startled by her strange behavior again, and was relieved to see that she had not fainted, so he simply sat cross-legged next to her.
In this way, Xie An also leaned against the wall, quietly watching the time pass little by little, and slowly relaxed, and fell asleep in a daze.
Suddenly, there were several bird chirpings outside.
