Chapter 407: Xiao Heping explores the well
My lord, I dare not hide it! I really don't know about this, it was on this box at the time, and I just felt that this wine bag was very good, so I was going to take it out together. "At this time, Ju Chu also roughly understood the owner of this wine bag.
Because, he has already seen that there are two identical ones in Heping's hands, the only difference is that they are only empty when they are brought out.
"You opened this lock?" Geng Xiaofan still has questions.
Ju Chu shook his head, "That's how it was when I saw it. ”
"What else is down there?" Geng Xiaofan temporarily believed in Ju Chu.
"It's deep down there, and I don't know where it leads. If this wine bag belonged to Geng Duweicheng, then, most likely, they went out from here. ”
"You mean, there's a secret passage down there? Which direction does it lead? Geng Xiaofan knew that this was a very, very important clue.
"It's supposed to lead to the outside of the city, but it's a moat outside!" This is what Ju Chu didn't understand the most.
Geng Xiaofan looked at the sky, it was already late at night. But he couldn't wait, he didn't want to wait any longer until dawn. If the son is really in the dark passage below, then a day earlier, no, a minute earlier may be decisive for his life and death.
"Heping, are you going to live alone for a while, aren't you afraid?" Geng Xiaofan is ready to go to the bottom of the well with Ju Chu.
"Afraid! I'm with you! With you, you are not afraid of anything. Heping quickly understood what Geng Xiaofan meant. In the middle of the night, she will definitely be scared as a girl, and more importantly, she is eager to see her brother as soon as possible.
Geng Xiaofan didn't say anything more, and began to untie the rope on Ju Chu's hand.
"Heping is my daughter-in-law, she heard that her husband was missing, and she came all the way to come desperately. Now, he's ready to go down with me. So, if you dare to hide it, I will never be merciful! ”
"My lord, you, you really want to go down, and there is ......" Ju Chu looked at Geng Xiaofan, and then looked at the weak Heping, it was incredible.
"There's nothing to say, just lead the way!" Geng Xiaofan untied the rope, checked the buckle on the well railing, and threw the other end down the well.
Seeing Geng Xiaofan's resolute attitude at the beginning, he had to grab the rope and go down the well again.
"Heping, don't be afraid, hold on to the rope and let go slowly." Geng Xiaofan tore off a strand of the cloak on his body with a dagger, carefully wrapped it around Heping's two hands, and helped her go down slowly.
When the three of them came to the bottom of the well, Geng Xiaofan did not act immediately, but held a torch to observe carefully.
He soon found a hole, and there was a square mark on the ground in front of the hole, Geng Xiaofan knew that it was the location of the box just now, and the box was originally blocking the hole.
"Dad, it looks like blood." Heping was not idle, and found a small blood stain on the stone wall at the entrance of the cave, and he couldn't help but feel nervous.
"There are at least three people's footprints here. Dad, you should recognize this boot print. Kawahira carefully looked at the ground and found a few stray footprints on the edge of the stone wall.
"It's the sole of your mother's official boots!" Geng Xiaofan immediately recognized that since Fei'er returned to the 21st century with her, she has always been obsessed with sneakers, trying to make many similar soles out of coarse cloth and sheepskin.
"Girl, you said there were at least three of them?" Ju Chu didn't expect that Heping could judge people by shoe prints. He also began to care about Guo Yuan.
"Don't move! You've trampled up enough of this! "Heping is looking carefully at this time, and he doesn't want to deal with Ju Chu.
"This footprint is about the same size as mine, and it is relatively shallow, it should be that Miss Guo. The rest should be He Liu. Heping judged, and asked Ju Chu again, "He Liuzi is not tall and slightly fat, isn't he?" ”
"Exactly! How do you know! Ju Chu was even more surprised.
Judging the whereabouts of animals and people according to their footprints, Geng Xiaofan handed it over to Geng Zhen since he was a child, and this kid followed his mother to hunt "practice", it seems that he taught Heping without reservation.
"That's right! It was through this hole that the three of them got out. Hahei looked down the hole.
"Dad, Brother Zhen must be fine, at least he can walk on his own. His official boots stepped on He Liu's footprints, indicating that He Liu was leading the way, and he and Miss Guo were following behind. Heping was really pleased, and he bent down to burrow into the hole.
"Heping, I'll take the lead, and you still follow me." Geng Xiaofan couldn't let Heping lead the way, so he stepped forward. While carefully looking at the ground, carefully walk forward. Hahei followed closely behind him.
Walking and walking, Geng Xiaofan's heart still lifted.
He knew that Heping could easily identify the footprints, but there were more details, she might not have seen them, or she might not have thought of them at all. Judging from the footprints, the son was supported by someone, because his left and right footprints were of different shades, and there were occasional traces of dragging. This indicates that the son was at least injured, perhaps during a fall.
There is also the blood stain that Heping saw just now and the wine sac left on the box, it is very likely that Zhen'er used wine to stop the bleeding and disinfect it there.
Walking along the dark road for a short distance, it was a small turn, Geng Xiaofan stopped, turned around and asked Ju Chu, "You just walked here to go back, right?" ”
"My lord, are you really a god?" At the beginning, he admired Geng Xiaofan so much that he threw himself to the ground.
"Does this need a god? Your footprints have only been here, and the front is gone! Hahei complained angrily.
But as he walked, Geng Xiaofan had to stop, the road ahead became more and more humid, and finally there were small puddles, and finally there was stagnant water!
No one's footprints are already visible. But there is no fork in the road here, and the three of Geng Zhen must be moving forward.
Geng Xiaofan glanced back at Heping, Heping nodded firmly, Geng Xiaofan no longer hesitated, and directly began to enter the water.
"My lord, my lord, I can't go any further!" Ju Chu shouted from behind.
"If you don't go forward, will you go back?" Geng Xiaofan was not angry.
"I know where the front leads!"
"You know?" Geng Xiaofan stopped, if he really knew, then he really didn't have to suffer so much.
"This should be water in the moat! There's a moat here! Ju Chu quickly explained.
"Are you sure?" Geng Xiaofan was stunned for a moment, and I have to say that what Ju Chu said makes sense, the water here is very turbid, and it should not be groundwater. If there is so much water, then it can only be a moat.
"I'm sure! If you don't worry, just wait here for a while, and I'll go to the front and have a look. Ju Chu volunteered, but now the weather is still very cold, and he can't bear to let the little beauty like a flower wade into the "troubled waters".
"That's good! You go ahead and explore the way, stay safe! Geng Xiaofan pulled the river and retreated.
Ju Chu held the torch and waded forward in the water.
"Dad, this Juchu doesn't seem to be bad." Heping also understood what Ju Chu meant, and when he saw him go away, he chatted with Geng Xiaofan softly.
