Chapter 57: Flying Snow Heart
followed Chen Shijie to the dilapidated house, and the first impression of Shen Huan here was that it was dilapidated and hidden! In addition to being very dilapidated in itself, the house is also deeply hidden in a bustling area! In front of it is Jiyang Street, where the two-storey building of nearby shops and residences hides it completely! Not far away is the city wall, and if you don't see it in person, no one would have thought that there is such a small room in between!
The door of the dilapidated house had long since been completely gone, and although the beams were still firmly supported, the tiles had long since broken to the ground. Walking into it, Shen Huan saw at a glance that there was an oil lamp on the table facing the door, and most of the lamp oil was still left. Behind this table, there was also a chair, which was very new, not at all like the old furniture that had been discarded here, and there was not a trace of dust on it, and there should be people sitting here regularly.
In addition to the pair of tables, chairs and oil lamps, Shen Huan also found that the footprints on the ground were very dense, most of them were concentrated in front of this table, and it should have been that many people had gathered here to report the situation to the person sitting on the chair or accept his instructions.
Looking carefully at the surrounding walls, Shen Huan vaguely found that there seemed to be something painted on one wall, but because the sunlight was blocked by residences and city walls all around, it wasn't until he walked into many places that Shen Huan saw clearly that there was actually a grimace painted on the wall!
That grimace is so familiar! It's still so hideous! It's exactly the same as what I saw in Dafeng Village! It can't help but be reminded of the tragedy at that time! Looking at the sad and indignant expressions of Shen Huan and the fast catchers, Tie Wushuang hurriedly shouted a few times before they gradually calmed down......
Because of the appearance of this grimace, Shen Huan and the others immediately confirmed that this was indeed a secret stronghold of Manichaeism! Continuing to investigate the scene, Shen Huan noticed that in front of this grimace, the footprints were also very concentrated, but these footprints were very strange! The Manichaeans seem to have come here as if they were being stopped by something, and they didn't go any further! Thinking of what Chen Shijie said to himself, Shen Huan suddenly felt a flash of inspiration! Squatting down and knocking on the ground with your hands, you can hear the sound of a bang, and it is empty underneath!
Wipe off the weeds covering the surface and underneath is a two-square-meter plank! Lifting the plank, a black hole appeared in front of everyone!
Looking at this hole, Chen Shijie suddenly realized: "I said how this group of people are so elusive, it turns out that they got out of this hole!"
Shen Huan glanced at Chen Shijie and did not reply. Carefully observing the entrance of the cave in front of him, it was pitch black inside, and he couldn't see how deep it was, but from the wind blowing in front of him, Shen Huan knew that it should be ventilated inside, and there would be no problem for people to go down at all! I just don't know where this hole leads, and I don't know if there will be any traps inside, so you can't rush people into it until you know the situation. Shen Huan's mind Tie Wushuang was very clear, and before Shen Huan could react, Tie Wushuang jumped down!
Tie Wushuang's action frightened Shen Huan, and shouted inside: "Brother Tie! Big Brother Iron! How are you? Come on! ”
"It's okay! I'm going to explore the way first! Get me a torch! ”
Tie Wushuang's voice was not anything unusual, which made Shen Huan breathe a sigh of relief and threw the torch to him, and Tie Wushuang walked inside with the torch......
The space under it is very large, more than two meters high from the top, and no one expected that there would be such a big hole under the ground of Jiangyin! I carefully touched the direction of the wind, there were no traps on the road, and the sun could be clearly seen at the end of the short distance ahead!
Walking to the end and looking up, Tie Wushuang could clearly see the sky outside, and the wind in the tunnel was blowing from here, and the top should be the exit of the tunnel. Looking up from underground, the shape around the exit made Tie Wushuang judge that this should be a dry well!
A rope hung from the edge of the wellhead to the top of the tunnel, and pulled it hard, the rope was tied very tightly, and Tie Wushuang easily turned over with this rope. Sure enough, it was the same as what I judged! The exit of this tunnel is indeed a dry well! Looking around, Tie Wushuang was surprised to find that he was already outside the city!
Listening to Shen Huan's call below, Tie Wushuang knew that they must be relieved that they couldn't rest assured, so he came over, "I'm fine!" Come up. There's nothing dangerous up there! ”
Hearing this, Shen Huan breathed a sigh of relief, but as a scumbag of war, he was not proficient in rope climbing, and in the end, Ye Feixue took him up from under the well......
Climbing out of the wellhead and looking around, Shen Huan was also surprised and couldn't speak! No one would have thought that there was such a tunnel under Jiangyin City that led directly to the outside of the city! Combined with the location of the dilapidated house, Shen Huan roughly estimated that the length of this tunnel was about 500 meters! And what surprised Shen Huan was that there was no clue about this tunnel in his memory!
Not only Shen Huan, but also Xing Zhutou! Such a large tunnel is not a small project in terms of both earthwork and scale! They've been working in the city for decades, and they don't know exactly when this tunnel appeared!
There are many footprints around the exit of the tunnel, and the Manichaeans should have secretly entered and exited Jiangyin City from here, but why did they do this? If this tunnel was really secretly excavated by the Manichaeans, what did they want to do with it? Thinking of this, Shen Huan's first reaction was to use it for transporting troops! In the past, when he was watching TV, he often saw the enemy army attacking the city by digging tunnels!
"Could it be that the Manichaeans want to take over the city and rebel?"
Shen Huan was taken aback by this idea! However, I couldn't find any other explanation! According to Tie Wushuang, Manichaeism has raised its flag several times to rebel! In order to get the world, they even did not hesitate to collude with foreign tribes to betray and mutilate their compatriots! And he had also seen the entire Dafeng Village slaughtered by them overnight! It is not impossible for people like this to want to take the city and rebel! However, whether it is or not, this matter is not a trivial matter! If this tunnel was really painstakingly excavated by the Manichaeans, then they would never abandon it!
For the sake of prudence, Shen Huan immediately told Liu Zhixian about the situation, and Lao Liu was immediately frightened when he heard it! Hurry up and call the county lieutenant and others over, and ask them to hurry to the military tun to inform Captain Pang, and ask him to quickly lead people into the county seat to station, and strictly prevent the Manichaean people from raising troops to seize the city!
Back at the Li Mansion, Song Shi was still asleep, and it seemed that he was indeed very sick, so Shen Huan didn't bother him and came directly to the restaurant. Lunch had been prepared, but the table full of delicious meals did not arouse Shen Huan's appetite......
Looking at Shen Huan's sad face, Li Cheng poured him a glass of wine and asked, "Why do you have eyebrows?"
"It's a breakthrough, but this group of people is very cunning, and they come and go without a trace, which is really a little incomprehensible......"
"Don't worry, the more you have to calm down at this time, I believe you will be able to take everyone through this crisis!"
Listening to Li Cheng's words, Shen Huan knew that he was just comforting himself, the current form was becoming more and more complicated, and he was really not sure, but now that the army had entered the city, even if the Manichaeans wanted to attack the city, with these soldiers and the city, they should be able to hold out for a few days...... So far, Shen Huan can only comfort himself like this......
Just when Shen Huan was counting the rice grains in the bowl with a heavy heart, the family member at the door of Li's house suddenly ran over to find him, "Shen Gongzi, there is someone outside who asked me to hand over this letter to you." ”
Shen Huan was very surprised, someone actually sent a letter to him? However, when he opened the envelope, he immediately understood! This was sent by Shiqing!
"A talk about Chunhualou."
There are only a few simple words, but the handwriting is very beautiful, and the handwriting is exactly the same as the handwriting on the wine jar that day!
"What about the messenger?" Shen Huan asked Jiading.
"I don't know, he just asked me to give you the letter and left."
"Oh, got it, there you go."
After eating, Shen Huan burned the letter with the envelope, not that he didn't want to keep it, but the relationship between him and Shiqing was too delicate, and if one was not careful, both of them would be doomed!
For the first time, he took a shower at noon, although Shen Huan didn't understand why he wanted to take a bath, but when he thought of meeting his sweetheart soon, he felt that he had to do it!
Completely cleaning up his body, Shen Huan couldn't wait to go out, but the moment he stepped out of the door, he found that Ye Feixue had also followed!
How can you take someone else with you when you go out and fool around by yourself! Shen Huan turned back to Ye Feixue and said, "Feixue, I'll go out to do something, don't come with me."
"Errands?" Ye Feixue obviously didn't believe it, how could she go out to run errands and take a special bath?
"Hmmm! A friend asked me to meet! You can rest assured that it will be fine! ”
"I'll go too! I'm not at ease! ”
Ye Feixue said very resolutely, looking at him as if he couldn't do it without taking me, Shen Huan thought about it, gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, then you can wait for me downstairs, don't be polite if you have a girl you like, it's all on my account!"
"The girl you like? Where the hell are you going? Ye Feixue had no idea what he was talking about......
"Uh...... Chunhualou ......"
"Chunhualou? What is that place? ”
"...... brothel" Shen Huan's old face turned red, and his voice suddenly lowered......
Hearing these two words, Ye Feixue's eyes widened! Can't seem to believe their ears......
Shen Huan looked at his appearance and hurriedly explained: "Feixue, it's not what you imagined!" I really just went to see a friend......"
No matter how Shen Huan explained, Ye Fei didn't listen to it at all! I turned around and went back in a huff! Slam the door slamming in! No matter how much Shen Huan shouted, he didn't open the door!
Standing at the door, Shen Huan scratched his head in confusion, he didn't know why Ye Feixue was so angry? Isn't it just going to a brothel? What's the big deal? This made him wonder if Ye Feixue belonged to the kind of special self-cleanliness?
After screaming a few times, Ye Feixue still didn't open the door, Shen Huan had no choice but to let him go, and hurriedly rushed towards Chunhua Building, Shen Huan knew very well that since Shiqing would pass on the message at this time, and she was also in a place like Chunhua Building, she must not just want to see herself, there must be something else!
After Shen Huan left, Ye Feixue opened the door with red eyes, the movement just now had already alarmed Li Cheng and his wife, seeing Mrs. Li walking towards him, Ye Feixue threw herself into her arms and cried...... It's just that the originally heavy male voice has become a soft female voice at this time......
Seeing Ye Feixue crying so sadly, Mrs. Li asked very distressedly, "What's wrong, girl?"
"Aunt Li...... Brother him, brother him, he went to live in prostitution! ”
Li Cheng laughed when he heard this, "What should I do!" Isn't it just going to a brothel! What's the big deal! Man! I'll be back in a while! ”
Hearing this, Mrs. Li glanced at Li Cheng, "What are you talking about!" You men are unclean and self-conscious, and are you justified? ”
Li Cheng was a little deflated by his wife's drink, so he had to stop talking......
Mrs. Li asked, "How do you know he went to a brothel?" Did he tell you that himself? ”
"Hmm."
Ye Feixue looked up at Mrs. Li: "Aunt Li, what do you say I should do?" If my brother falls in love with a girl in the Qinglou and wants to marry back, what should I do? Will he not want me anymore? ”
Li Cheng asked, "When did he go out?"
"Just now."
"Just now?"
Li Cheng smiled slightly and said, "Okay girl, don't worry, your brother didn't run, no one will go to prostitution at noon!" Someone sent a letter to this kid during the dinner just now, and I guess he really has something to do! Maybe it has something to do with the case he investigated! ”
"Ahh How did I forget this! If the Manichaean deliberately pretended to be an acquaintance of his brother and asked him to go to Chunhualou, wouldn't his brother be in danger?! ”
Hearing Li Cheng's words, Ye Feixue immediately stopped crying, and instead began to worry about Shen Huan's safety, "No!" I can't sit here! I'm going to check it out! ”
"Hey! Ay! Ay! ”
Seeing that Ye Feixue was about to leave, Mrs. Li hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed her, "Don't go!" You are a girl's house, you can't go to that unclean place! ”
"What then?"
Seeing Ye Feixue's anxious appearance, Li Cheng laughed and said, "Don't worry, girl!" Tie Wushuang has been living there for the past few days, and nothing will happen with him! ”
"Iron Warrior?"
Hearing Li Cheng say this, Ye Feixue's heart suddenly settled, although for her, Tie Wushuang was not to be afraid, but for Manichaeism, there was no one who he couldn't keep Tie Wushuang! With him, Shen Huan's safety is naturally worry-free!
"Uncle Li, Aunt Li, that ...... Then I'll go back to the room first......" Seeming to feel a little shy about what happened just now, Ye Feixue's face turned red and she quickly ran back to her room......
Looking at the tears she left in her arms just now, Mrs. Li sighed and said to Li Cheng: "Xue'er, this girl, her feelings for that kid are too deep, and she is too tired, I'm afraid that one day something really goes wrong...... I'm afraid this girl will collapse, do we have to find a way to solve this matter completely? ”
"Brother Ye, he ...... Alas! Li Cheng didn't think so, but there was such a huge obstacle in front of these two people......
