Before Zhang Ci walked to the cabin, he saw the door of the cabin open, Lu Chen pushed the door out, straightened his sleeves and said, "The elevator should be repaired and cleaned, and they are too careless about what they do." ”

"What are you doing here?" Zhang Ci looked at him with displeasure.

"Isn't I worried that you didn't hold it?" Lu Chen looked like he took it for granted, and looked at Chen Qiuniang as he spoke.

"Get out." Zhang Ci didn't give him a good face, and looked at Chen Qiuniang with some concern. Of course, Chen Qiuniang knew that Zhang Ci was worried that she would be embarrassed when she understood the meaning of Lu Chen's sentence "I can't hold it". Fortunately, Chen Qiuniang is not a little girl, and she is immune to meat jokes or anything, not to mention this kind of obscure level. Besides, it's not wrong for Lu Chen to have that kind of suspicion. This lonely man and widow have been on top of this mountain for so long.

Zhang Ci saw that her expression was as usual, and his face was relieved. Lu Chen said with a smile: "I said cousin, it's dawn today, what should I do." You still have various arrangements today, do you want me to read them to you? ”

Lu Chen said as he took out a piece of paper from his arms. Chen Qiuniang looked at the paper from a distance and saw that the paper was full of words.

Chen Qiuniang suddenly realized: This kid was originally Zhang Ci's secretary.

"Am I out of proportion?" Zhang Ci hurriedly stopped. Fortunately, Lu Chen didn't really want to reveal Zhang Ci's whereabouts in front of her, an outsider, so he took the paper into his arms, pretended to sigh, and said, "You have a sense of proportion, the key is to mess up." ”

He said as he glanced at Chen Qiuniang again. Chen Qiuniang still didn't speak, sitting by the pavilion and looking at the two of them.

"Dead open." Zhang Ci dragged him into the cabin with a push and a drag.

Chen Qiuniang looked at the cabin and thought: I really didn't expect it, this cabin is actually an elevator. The ancestors of the Zhang family even left this skill in this time and space. But then again, most elevators in modern society rely on electricity as the propulsion, so there won't be a generator or something, right?

However, it seems that if you want to build an elevator, you have to open up the inside of the mountain. Even the simple use of a lever pulley is a huge undertaking. From this point of view, the nine families are really rich.

She thought to herself that Zhang Ci had already come out of the cabin, and said a little nervously: "Lu Chen will go back first, and I will let him prepare breakfast." ”

"Are you eating here?" Chen Qiuniang didn't press to ask anything step by step, she was really reluctant to let this person feel uncomfortable.

"The sun has risen, and the sun is too scorching, so let's go to the tomb and eat." Zhang Ci replied.

Chen Qiuniang looked at the early sun, and her whole body was already sweating a little, so she nodded and said, "Well, I think so too." But are we going to walk back? ”

Zhang Ci pursed his lips and said a little embarrassedly: "No, I still have some things to deal with, and we will go down the elevator after a while." ”

"What do elevators use to power them?" Chen Qiuniang asked. She's genuinely curious. In the past, she has also seen the so-called "elevators" of those ancient buildings, you really don't understand what the power of such a thing is, it feels ingenious, even her university tutor The old man also sighed straight and said that some of the technical levels of ancient times have surpassed modern times.

"Month they pulled." Zhang Ci said.

This answer is still within the scope of Chen Qiuniang's acceptance, she nodded, and said, "The excavation of this mountain is really a powerful project." ”

"It's okay, the rocks inside this mountain are soft." Zhang Ci sat down beside her and watched the sun and chatted with her.

"It's soft, you still use it to build ancient tombs? Is it soft and not easy to collapse? Chen Qiuniang asked very suspiciously. Although she is a civil engineer, she is really a half-ass, and how can a tutor in the university talk about mountain tombs or something.

Zhang Ci shook his head and said, "It's not easy to collapse." This soft side does not mean that it is very soft, but that the rock is very tense and not easy to break, collapse, or break. If this kind of place is paired with a feng shui treasure land, it is the best place for a tomb. ”

"I see." Chen Qiuniang suddenly realized.

"When I die, I guess I'll be buried in these places." Zhang Ci looked at Yuanshan and said, without waiting for Chen Qiuniang to say anything, he immediately asked again, "When the time comes, will you come to see me?" ”

Chen Qiuniang glanced at him and said, "I despise you." Say this kind of thing at every turn. ”

Zhang Ci smiled and said, "You are generally clear about my situation, there are many people who want me to die." Maybe at some point there was an oversight, and I went. ”

He spoke and smiled, but Chen Qiuniang was inexplicably sad to hear it. She knew that what he said was true, but she still couldn't help but comfort: "Don't think about it, what kind of person is your second son." It's going to be fine. ”

As she spoke, she felt that she was speaking in a pale manner. Sure enough, when Zhang Ci heard her say this, he smiled helplessly and said, "Yun'er, people will die sooner or later." ”

"You are not allowed to say that." Chen Qiu didn't like to hear people say this kind of thing, although it really made a damn sense.

"Okay, I'll stop talking." Zhang Ci saw that she was displeased, and his tone immediately softened.

"Don't say such unlucky things in the future, okay?" Chen Qiuniang used her identity as a little girl to the fullest.

Zhang Ci smiled, showed a shallow smile, nodded and said, "Okay." Still, I want you to tell me about your plans. Because I'm not at ease. ”

"You don't believe in my abilities, you look down on me." Chen Qiuniang pouted, pretending to be angry, and gave Zhang Ci such a big hat.

"You know, that's not what I meant. I'm just worried about you. Zhang Ci said hurriedly.

Chen Qiuniang pouted, raised her eyes to look at him, and said, "It's okay for you to believe me once." Niannu has been seriously injured and in a coma, and Zhu Wenkang is equivalent to a broken hand. Besides, if you meddle in the affairs of the stage, the Zhu family will still stare at you, and you also got Zhu Wencai before. You have created so much convenience for me, what are you afraid of? ”

"You know everything?" Zhang Ci was very shocked, and the girl in front of him lightly intervened him on the stage, rescued Chai Yu, used Aunt Yun to deal with Nian Nu, and found Zhu Wencai to try to help her and tell him. She really knew everything, and even if she guessed, she was so sure.

Chen Qiuniang looked at his shocked appearance, took off the cloak on his body, and said with a smile: "Of course." Except for Brother Youqi, who else in this world will help me like this. ”

Zhang Ci was shocked and didn't speak. The sun had risen very high, and the temperature began to rise, Chen Qiuniang took off the cloak, tidied up her clothes, and told Zhang Ci not to interfere, let her hone and hone. Zhang Ci didn't want to agree, so he didn't speak.

"Brother Youqi, that day, you said in front of so many powerful people on the border between Linqiong and Meizhou that you would break off my kindness and righteousness, and you had nothing to do with it, so naturally you wanted to protect me. But the world has changed, and the situation has changed. And now you are willing to take the initiative to see me, and you have said those things to me, and you have said that you will protect me. This is to protect me. Then, from now on, my fate will be linked to Brother Youqi. You and I can guess what means the enemy will use, and because of my relationship with my father and mother, I will encounter all kinds of dangers in the future. She paused at this point.

"I'll protect you." Zhang Ci said immediately.

Chen Qiuniang shook her head and continued: "I know that you will keep your word and will always guard me. But I don't want to be a burden to you, what I want is to stand side by side with you and face those rain arrows and wind knives. Brother Youqi, now, let me practice it once. Big deal, you let people watch, make sure I don't be in danger is. ”

Zhang Ci pondered for a long time before finally nodding in agreement. Chen Qiuniang smiled, and said crisply: "Thank you, Brother Youqi." Then he touched his stomach and said, "Hehe, I'm hungry, let's go down and have breakfast." ”

"You, you've eaten all the pastries, and you're still hungry." Zhang Ci nodded her forehead, then cleaned up, lit the lantern, and pulled Chen Qiuniang, who was muttering that she was growing up and was hungry, and walked towards the cabin.

Chen Qiuniang thought that the elevator of this small cabin was the kind of hanging basket like that played on TV, and here she shouted that it started, and then she pulled it down, using the principle of pulley labor-saving. But when you walk into the cabin, it's not like that. First of all, this cabin is an ordinary cabin, and the function of placing it here is the same as the barrier at the exit below, preventing rainwater from pouring into the elevator on heavy rainy days. The hut is still a part of the mountain, and it is accurate to say that the place where the hut is sheltered is the highest point of the mountain.

Zhang Ci took Chen Qiuniang and pressed a button on the stone wall, and the stone wall opened, and it was boxy, like an elevator. The two walked in, Zhang Ci pressed it next to him again, and the door of the elevator was closed, and the entire elevator began to descend slowly. The descent is much slower than that of an elevator.

"This is also the handiwork of your ancestor?" Chen Qiuniang asked. She thought that she already knew the structure of this elevator, which was the simple principle of pulley labor-saving, and the real thing was the excavation of the interior of the mountain. But now that she came to experience this thing in person, she, an engineering student, was confused again. What is the impetus for this kind of thing?

"This is the handwriting of the ancestors, but it is not the first generation of ancestors, nor is it the seventh generation of ancestors." Zhang Ci replied.

Ah, the Zhang family is still crossing the den? There are even ancestors who are traversers?

"Huh?" Chen Qiuniang was taken aback, and immediately said, "The Zhang family is really talented." ”

"Well, this is the thirty-seventh generation of ancestors to sort out and improve the classics left by the first generation of ancestors." Zhang Ci said proudly.

"So it's not actually human-pulled?" Chen Qiuniang glanced at him.

Zhang Ci coughed twice in embarrassment and said, "Actually, I don't know much about this. These things are all done by the special heirs of the nine major families. When we are patriarchs, we are actually using them to pull the lives of hatred. Occasionally, a patriarch or two would be interested in delving into it. ”

Chen Qiuniang wanted to ask about the legend of these thirty-seven generations of ancestors, but the elevator had stopped and arrived at the main tomb. The two walked out of the elevator, Yue and Kun stood there, and Lu Chen sat on the stone bench and drank tea leisurely.

"I said cousin, she's still a girl. Well, although she seems to be a little taller, like twelve or thirteen years old, she is actually only nine years old. Lu Chen said with a smile, judging the two of them like usual, it was like Jiang Fan possessing him.

"You also know that she is a little girl, and you still talk nonsense? Get back in. Zhang Ci's face darkened, and he waved his hand very unpleasantly to see Lu Chen.

Lu Chen shrugged, stood up and straightened his robe, and said, "Okay, okay, I'll get out, I'll get out." ”

", you." Zhang Ci urged.

"Hey, Xiaoqiu Niang, if you are free another day, let's talk about life, talk about ideals, and talk about the future of following this guy." Lu Chenlin walked to the door of the tomb and said this with a smile.

"Get out." Zhang Ci flew to throw it over, Lu Chen dodged it, leaving only the words of **, "You enjoy breakfast, this son won't bother you." ”

"Don't you mind. They like to talk nonsense. Zhang Ci turned to Chen Qiuniang and said.

"What did he say? I don't quite understand. "Chen Qiuniang deliberately pretended to be pure and didn't understand.

When Zhang Ci heard her say this, he suddenly thought that he was only nine years old, no matter how smart he was, it was normal for him not to understand this. So, she smiled awkwardly and said, "It's okay, it's okay, let's eat." ”

"Okay, I'm so hungry." Chen Qiuniang immediately ran to the dining table, and as far as she could see, Kun was secretly holding back a smile.

Probably because he had been delayed at the top of the mountain for too long, Zhang Ci still had a lot of other things to do, and he ate quickly for this meal. Chen Qiuniang was also worried that Zhu Wenkang might come to her today, and today she had to tidy up the house and go back to Liucun to arrange matters, and she ate very quickly, and she didn't even taste the exquisite meals of the chef of Zhangfu.

However, although the meal was fast, after eating, Zhang Ci made a pot of tea in the tomb himself on the grounds that setting off now was not conducive to his health, and actually used the tea produced by the wealthy feast. While making tea, he looked at Chen Qiuniang very proudly and asked, "How is my craftsmanship?" ”

"You sent an undercover agent to steal the art of stealing the arts." Chen Qiuniang put her hands on her cheeks and said angrily.

Zhang Ci laughed and didn't explain. The two of them drank a pot of tea, and it was almost noon before they returned. When returning, Zhang Ci also asked Chen Qiuniang to change her clothes. She entered the side burial chamber and saw that the shirt was the straight jacket that he liked to wear, and her folding fan.

"I'll tell Kun to go and get it again. I think at this moment, the Chen family has exploded, and it has already been reported to the official. Zhang Ci and Chen Qiuniang stood on the platform outside the cave together, facing the mountain wind and said.

"I don't believe you didn't let them deal with it. Fool whom? Chen Qiuniang's eyebrows and eyes were vivid, and then she got on the hanging basket prepared by Yue Hekun, who was riding eighteen horses, beckoned to him, and said, "Brother Youqi, see you later." ”

"I'll see you later." He smiled, showing his white teeth, and in the clear sunlight, that smile was simply charming.

When he arrived on the platform below and entered the complex cave tunnel, Kun said with a sigh: "The second son actually laughed. And laughed a lot. ”

"Isn't it normal for him to laugh?" In the end, the moon lacks roots and tendons, and it is too wooden and shy.

"It's not the same. The laughter of the past, no matter how you laughed, was floating on the surface, floating in the light. Even if it's the occasional happiness, it's just a faint smile. However, you see that today's laughter is different, how to say it. That smile was like the sun pouring down, and it felt like the second son was alive. You can feel that he is really happy. As Kun walked, he explained to Yue that the second son's smile was different.

"It's as if the second son of the past is not alive." Yue said a word.

"Hey, why are you like this? Will you be obedient? Ignore you. Kun stopped, turned around, and disdainfully Tsuki, who was walking behind.

"Be cautious in what you say and do. Have you forgotten the rules of the eighteenth ride? Moon asked rhetorically.

Kun snorted and said, "I know that I like to talk since I was a child. Do you have to ask me to talk to myself, in a place like this, not to be allowed to talk? Hmph, I'll talk to Gongzi Jiang. Come on, Gongzi Jiang, let's talk. ”

"What are you talking about?" Chen Qiuniang has been listening to the conversation between these two people, thinking that she can know more about Zhang Ci, and it is good to keep it as a memory in the future, but she never thought that she would be named all at once.

"Come, come, come here. We talked as we walked. Kun took a torch and took a photo, and at this moment he happened to walk into the open area, and this secret passage could accommodate two people to pass through Guò in parallel.

When Chen Qiuniang and Kun were side by side, he began to ask, "I want to know what you are doing on the top of the mountain?" Why is the second son so happy after he comes down? ”

It turns out that this is a gossip party, a good seedling of the paparazzi. Chen Qiuniang looked at this person with a gossipy look on her face. She replied calmly: "Eat, look at the moon, chat." ”

"What are you talking about?" Kun continues to gossip.

Chen Qiuniang was thinking about how to answer, when Yue suddenly extinguished the torch, blew out Kun's torch as well, and whispered, "Don't move, there are people." ”

The three of them suddenly stopped. Chen Qiuniang speculated that she should have reached the bottom of the mountain at this time, and she was about to enter the dungeon.

"Isn't it your people?" Chen Qiuniang asked in a low voice.

"I don't know. But there shouldn't be any of our people coming here at this point. Yue replied in a low voice, and then said, "I'll go and see, Kun, if I don't come back in a while." You take her back to the tomb quickly. ”

"Don't go." Chen Qiuniang grabbed the moon and said, "At this time, don't act rashly." I stayed where I was with Kun, and you quickly returned to sue the second son. ”

"No, I can't let you risk it. You are very important to the second son. Yue said.

Chen Qiuniang was silent, very guilty in her heart. Zhang Ci treated her like that, but she was destined to stay away from him, like his mother, and not to be a burden to him.

"Those people don't necessarily know about it, they may just have discovered the dungeon. Fortunately, we haven't entered the dungeon yet. "Kun analysis. Eventually, the three of them stood here and waited for a while, and sure enough, they walked away. At this time, Yue Cai set off to report to Zhang Ci.

After a while, Zhang Ci and some other people in the eighteen horsemen caught up. Zhang Ci looked solemn, and then pulled two more people to escort Chen Qiuniang back. But it was not the secret passage of the Chen family, but a small cave in the middle of the mountain outside the east gate of Liuhe Town.

Chen Qiuniang walked leisurely back to Liuhe Town from the mountain road outside the east gate, and as soon as she entered Liuhe Town, the patrolling Liao Zhutou saw her with sharp eyes, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Oh, Jiang Gongzi, where have you been?" ”

"Go and walk in that Liu Yun Mountain. See what's to eat, or what can be used as a seasoning. Chen Qiuniang folded her fan.

"You don't say hello to Shopkeeper Chen. Before, Shopkeeper Chen was looking for you everywhere. And ask me if I've ever seen you. Liao Zhutou wiped his sweat.

"My cousin has reported to the police?" Chen Qiuniang asked.

Liao Zhutou shook his head and said, "No." It's just that I'm coming out to look for you. I said that I wanted to find you for something important. ”

"Oh. I thought my cousin had reported to the official and alarmed Liao Zhutou. Chen Qiuniang opened the conversation box and chatted with Liao Zhutou at this time, and naturally talked about the incident of yesterday's social drama stage, Liao Zhutou sighed again and again, indicating that it was difficult to catch heads, and he was very angry. Later, he said that it was rumored that Nian Nu was about to die, and even the divine doctor Jing Liang was helpless.

Chen Qiuniang also listened to it and walked back to Yunlai Hotel. When Chen Wenzheng saw her come back, he was obviously relieved, and immediately pulled her into the office, and said in a low voice, "You are finally back." ”

"Makes Big Brother worried." Chen Qiuniang always felt a little guilty in the face of Chen Wenzheng. This man actually really loves her, and he really thinks she is a family and has done a lot of things for her.

"It's good to be back. When I go out in the future, remember to say to the porter, so that I don't have the fear of being desolate in my heart. Chen Wenzheng patted his chest.

Chen Qiuniang's nose was sour, she nodded, and said, "I must remember." ”

"It's okay, it's okay. I'm just worried about you. Chen Wenzheng smiled, laughing so sadly that Chen Qiuniang felt sad, her heart was full of guilt, and she didn't know what to say.

"But I'm worried about you, but I can't help you. I really feel so useless. Chen Wenzheng suddenly lowered his voice and lowered his head. The whole person looks very decadent.

Chen Qiuniang was startled, she had never seen Chen Wenzheng's vulnerable side, she hurriedly stepped forward and shouted anxiously: "Big brother, big brother, you have helped me a lot, really." You see, I have something to ask you about right away. ”

"Really?" Chen Wenzheng looked up at her with a wry smile on his face.

"Yes." Chen Qiuniang hurriedly smiled, and said that Chen Qiusheng was going to school and buying a house, and said that she was not good at school literacy at all, there were several academies in the vicinity, and there were several well-known gentlemen, and she was not good at it. Chen Wenzheng carefully divided Chen Qiusheng's situation, and said that it was okay to move over, he could personally supervise Qiusheng and Qiuxia to study.

"It's good to have a big brother in this matter." Chen Qiuniang took the opportunity to pat herself on the back.

Chen Wenzheng smiled helplessly. Chen Qiuniang took advantage of the situation to ask how the cooperation with the Ye family was, and said that this Yunlai Hotel always has to find a backer, and the Ye family's wealth and power are very good. Chen Wenzheng also has his own considerations for the Ye family, saying that he can let him become the master, but he can't let him be in charge, after all, Zhao Song has settled down, and he will definitely start to take back a lot of things, including salt production, which is related to the lifeblood of a country's economy.

This Chen Wenzheng is really a political genius, and he saw the key point at a glance. Chen Qiuniang hurriedly praised him. He only smiled and said: "I became a businessman, and I was comforted by you that this is also a major plan for the people's livelihood." ”

"It's a matter of people's livelihood. Life in the world, food and clothing. Big brother, don't think too much, we haven't eaten together for a long time, it's noon, let the kitchen make something light, and I'll accompany my brother to drink a glass of fruit wine. "Chen Qiuniang mentions.

The two had a meal at the feast of the wealthy family and chatted freely. From today's shape to the development of Yunlai Hotel and the establishment of Chen's Farm, we have made in-depth discussions.

After eating a meal for a long time, a few glasses of fruit wine went down, and Chen Qiuniang was a little dizzy. It happened that another investor came to the door, and Chen Wenzheng went to receive him. Chen Qiuniang went back to the new house alone, and asked Xibao to take her own carriage back to Liucun. RS
