Chapter 405: Catching a thief on a moonlit night by the dry well
Ju Chu said that there was nothing underneath, but he had been down there for so long. And how can a torch go out for no reason? There must be something down there, he's hiding. Moreover, he also specially asked people to plug the wellhead, and some of them did not mean three hundred taels of silver here. Hahei said very seriously.
"Hehe, you even know that." Geng Xiaofan didn't expect that Heping also knew the idiom that there was no silver here, and couldn't help laughing.
"Am I not right?"
"That's right! You have a point. However, I feel that it must not be Zhen'er down there, it should be something else, maybe it has something to do with Zhen'er. Anyway, I'll check it out. Geng Xiaofan didn't have time to talk to Heping about idioms at this time.
"Dad, I'll accompany you, or I'm thinking and worrying at home." Heping's tone was a little coquettish.
"Aren't you afraid? It was dark, and the place was a little eerie. Geng Xiaofan looked at Heping, this girl has always been soft and weak, but she didn't expect that at a critical time, her courage was commendable.
"Follow you, and I'm not afraid. I, I used to sneak out with my brother to play. Don't worry, I won't mess with you. Heping stepped forward and pulled Geng Xiaofan's sleeve.
Geng Xiaofan really didn't want Heping to take risks with him. But he wasn't going to go down tonight, he just wanted to go and stay for a while. He guessed that there would be action at the beginning of the night tonight. How to get Ju Chu to tell the secret of the well, he hasn't thought about it yet. If you take Hahei with you, maybe you will have a better chance of convincing Juchu.
After hesitating for a long time, Geng Xiaofan took out a dark cloak and put it on for Heping with his own hands. He Ping smiled and obediently grabbed Geng Xiaofan's arm.
It was already dark, and the two did not alarm others, and returned to the scene of the "fire" alone, found a leeward corner, sat down gently, and squatted.
"Dad, I believe that Brother Zhen must still be alive, I feel it. However, he may be in trouble or injured, but I have a feeling that he must still be alive and waiting for us to find him. When he was squatting, he was a little bored, and Heping chatted with Geng Xiaofan softly.
"Shhhh I understand your feelings, but this is not the time to talk about these things. I feel like it's time for Juchu to come. Geng Xiaofan stopped Heping and stared closely at the direction of the well.
"Oh!" Hahei shut up, but the taste of waiting like this was really uncomfortable, and he was so anxious that he couldn't do anything.
In the middle of the moon, it was probably already sub-hour, and the night breeze was getting cooler and cooler. Geng Xiaofan was a little disappointed, he suspected that his guess was wrong, and got up lightly and moved, preparing to take Heping back first.
As soon as he got up, Hahei grabbed him and gently pointed to the courtyard wall in the backyard. "He's coming!" Heping's voice was so small that it was almost inaudible.
Geng Xiaofan hurriedly squatted down again, looking in the direction of Heping's finger, but found no movement. Just wondering, there seems to be a leaf "floating" in the wind on the wall!
Geng Xiaofan suddenly became nervous, he knew that it was not a leaf, because there were no such big leaves in this world. That's a person! A man as light as a leaf!
After the man landed, he didn't get up immediately, but looked around for a while before heading straight for the well!
The man, apparently prepared, took the rope with him and went to the well, and without a moment's delay, tied the rope to the railing of the well, and then, lighting a torch, jumped down without hesitation!
"Dad, is it really the beginning? He's so fast! Kawahira was stunned by the man's series of movements.
"I can't think of anyone else but him. I didn't expect him to be so good! "Geng Xiaofan has been in Dahan for so long, and he really hasn't seen any "martial arts masters", so it looks like he's going to meet him today.
"It's useless to be skilled, he's throwing himself into the net! We'll stay at the mouth of the well and see how he gets out!" "Heping didn't follow Geng Zhen to catch chickens and rabbits or something, and now he used his skills to catch "thieves".
"Good! In the past, there were people who waited for the rabbits, and we will guard the well tonight to catch the thieves. Geng Xiaofan was very satisfied with Heping's mischievous mischief, and led her to the well.
Glancing down cautiously, Heping was a little surprised, "Why isn't there a glimmer of light?" ”
Geng Xiaofan also discovered this problem, pondered for a moment, and his face turned cold, "I'm afraid this is more than just a well!" ”
"It's not a well, what could it be?" Heping also began to use his brain, "He Liu hid a treasure underneath?" ”
"It's hard to say whether it's a baby, but it must be something very important! Let's wait patiently! Geng Xiaofan simply sat down on the well railing.
"Then, Heping will accompany you to sit in the well and watch the play!" Heping also sat down on the well railing, "It's a pity that there is no wine, otherwise, Heping will accompany you to drink two glasses, it should be very good!" ”
Geng Xiaofan turned his head to look at Heping, and for the first time, he found that Heping was so cute.
"Does Zhen'er often take you out for a run in the middle of the night?"
"Nope!" Heping's face was a little hot, it seemed that she had leaked her mouth today, and her little secret with her husband was guessed by her father-in-law.
"When Zhen'er takes you out to play, don't you bring wine?" Geng Xiaofan smiled slightly, and took out a deerskin wine bag from his arms.
"It turns out that he learned from you!" Heping's eyes lit up, and he was a little happy.
"He is my son, if he doesn't learn from me, who will he learn from?" Geng Xiaofan unscrewed the wine bag and handed it to Heping.
Heping took it generously and took a sip, "Dad, our home-brewed wine is good!" ”
"Wine is a good thing, it's essential to go out and about. Since I was a child, I have asked Zhen'er to carry such a small bag with me, and it has come in handy several times, so he will bring it every time he goes out. ”
"I hope he brought it with him this time, and it can save his life." Heping said, and couldn't help but look down the well again.
"He seems to be coming up, and I see the light." He Ping pulled Geng Xiaofan's sleeve.
"Then we'll wait for him!" Geng Xiaofan also got up and stared at the wellhead closely.
The rope shook slightly, and it was obvious that someone was climbing up. But after a while, the shaking of the rope stopped.
"Dad, he found us!" Kawahira also kept an eye on the rope.
"Then we'll meet him." Geng Xiaofan smiled, he knew that there was a master below, so he didn't dare to rashly stretch out his head to the wellhead, pulled out the dagger, and shouted at the wellhead.
The people below obviously heard his voice and began to be silent, and after a while, the rope continued to shake, and Geng Xiaofan knew that it was time for the person to come out.
As soon as a human head appeared at the mouth of the well, Geng Xiaofan put the dagger against the man's throat.
Gently uncovering the man's masked scarf, Geng Xiaofan and He Ping both recognized it, it was Ju Chu!
"Did Ju Daxia leave something behind during the day? This is more in the middle of the night to run to fetch? Geng Xiaofan asked coldly.
"My lord, let me go up first, okay? It's hard to hang like this. "At the beginning of the pleading.
