Chiyang took off her socks and checked them carefully, what he could see with the naked eye was that her ankles were slightly swollen, he pinched them gently, and then observed Zhou Lingzhen's expression, and knew what was going on.

"This strength, how much it hurts, tell me." Chiyang asked.

Zhou Lingzhen bit her lip, "It hurts." ”

"Can you bear it?" Chiyang asked, and at the same time increased the intensity.

"Hmm...... Don't ......" Zhou Lingzhen bit her lips white.

"You may have broken this foot." Chiyang concluded.

Zhou Lingzhen breathed a long sigh of relief, "Don't you know how to pick up bones?" ”

Chiyang pouted, "It's not that I won't, but I'll just give a rough man like myself a casual touch, but you pampered, I can't do it." ”

"It's okay, you can get it." Zhou Lingzhen bit her lip firmly and looked at him.

Chiyang glanced at her, summed it up, sighed and said, "Okay, if you don't feel dirty, roll up my clothes and bite it in your mouth, it will hurt even more later." ”

Zhou Lingzhen glanced at the soaked clothes piled aside, gritted her teeth, rolled them up and stuffed them into her mouth.

Chiyang raised his eyebrows and chuckled, "Yo, I can't imagine that you, the eldest lady, can endure any hardship?" ”

Zhou Lingzhen bit her clothes and smiled bitterly, but no one noticed that her expression was abnormal.

If she wasn't prepared to endure hardships, what would she do when she left her hometown?

Chiyang gently held her foot, fixed the position with his hand, and then looked at Zhou Lingzhen and asked, "Second Miss, don't move this leg even if you are afraid of pain, you know ......"

Click.

The sound of the bones rang out, followed by a scream.

"Ah......" Before Chiyang's words were finished, Zhou Lingzhen cried out in pain.

"Alright, pick it up." Chiyang got up and clapped his hands, walked back and sat down.

took advantage of Zhou Lingzhen's efforts to listen to him carefully, and he picked it up without paying attention.

Zhou Lingzhen was sweating painfully, even though the rain was pouring and the cold wind was manic, her cold sweat still came down.

"Okay, you can bear it." Chiyang smiled, a hint of appreciation flashing in his eyes.

Zhou Lingzhen gasped for breath and recovered for a long time.

"Can't you prepare me?" Zhou Lingzhen's gaze was a little reproachful.

Chiyang smiled, "Mental preparation? If it were for you, all your attention would be on it. Okay, don't move your feet yet, and when the rain stops, I'll look around and see if there are any planks or something to fix for you. ”

Then, he helped Zhou Lingzhen, "Lie down first." ”

After Zhou Lingzhen lay down, Chiyang got up and walked to the front to take a look, the rain did not have a small trend at all, and he found that there was no water on the ground, and the rainwater falling on the ground had been seeping down.

The dirt under your feet is muddy at best.

Chiyang squatted down, pinched his chin and pondered: For so many years, this place has not been able to avoid rain, why is there no water storage in such a rectangular pit?

Moreover, this area is not large, and it stands to reason that it will rain for half a day, and there should be a little bit of water level remaining. Even if you are pumping water from a farmer's rice field, you can last for a day at a time, or three days at most, right?

"Chiyang, I'm cold." Zhou Lingzhen's teeth chattered a little.

Hearing Zhou Lingzhen's voice, Chiyang immediately glanced back, saw that something was wrong with her situation, and hurriedly ran over.

According to his understanding of Zhou Lingzhen, she is a person who can rarely express her emotions, and she doesn't say many things. Just like just now, if he hadn't brought it up, I'm afraid Zhou Lingzhen wouldn't have said it.

If I can say it this time, I'm afraid it's a bit serious.

He walked over and reached out to touch her forehead, and couldn't help but sigh, "What I was worried about is still happening." ”

"Am I infected with the cold?" Zhou Lingzhen also realized.

Chiyang snorted, "Don't move when you lie down." ”

Then, he also lay down and stretched out his hand to hug her, "Don't worry, the secret guard comes and goes, plus searches according to the traces, there is time, we just have to wait." ”

"Hmm." Zhou Lingzhen hummed lightly.

"Can you sleep for a while?" Chiyang's voice was very gentle at the moment, and Zhou Lingzhen, who listened to it, felt comfortable, and gradually fell asleep in his arms.

Chiyang looked at the beautiful woman in his arms and fell into deep thought.

Two hours later

The rain finally lightened, a thin drizzle, almost invisible at the bottom of the pit.

After another half an hour, another voice came.

"Yang Chief! Where are you, respond! ”

"Yang Chief, are you there?"

The voices of the guards continued to come from a distance, and Chiyang was sure that there was someone only after listening to the shouts of the second person.

"Lingzhen, wake up, the guards are coming for us." Chiyang was overjoyed and immediately woke up Zhou Lingzhen.

At this time, Zhou Lingzhen was nesting in his arms very comfortably and warmly, and after hearing the voice, he looked at Chiyang with sleepy eyes, "Who is looking for me?" ”

Chiyang smiled, "Sleepy, right?" The Dark Guard is coming for us! ”

Then, by luck, he shouted, "I'm here, and there's a torch on top of it that's my place!" ”

The guards looked in the direction of the sound when they heard the sound, and when they saw the torch on the ground, they shouted, "There it is! Let's get over there! ”

By the time the dark guards came, Chiyang had already looked up at the bottom of the pit, "Prepare a rope of about five meters, and four planks, the second young lady's ankle is broken." By the way, bring another shovel. ”

"Okay, Yang Chief, please wait a minute, my subordinates will go and get it." One of the guards immediately returned to fetch the rope.

Chiyang returned to Zhou Lingzhen's side and said with a smile: "I told them, wait a while, they will go to pick up things." ”

Zhou Lingzhen snorted, "I heard it." ”

After waiting for about three quarters, the Dark Guard had all the tools ready. The rope is just there

Then the planks and a small rope with a short one, tied with a long rope, were sent to the bottom of the pit.

It wasn't until Chiyang fixed Zhou Lingzhen's feet that he carried her to the bottom of the pit, then tied a loop around her waist, and ordered: "Or hook the rope with the other foot of your foot as I told you last time, and grasp the top of the rope with both hands." ”

Zhou Lingzhen nodded, and just when she wanted to do it, she found that Chiyang picked her up, so that when she hooked the rope with her hands or feet, her injured feet and hands didn't have to be forced.

This move made Zhou Lingzhen a little surprised by his carefulness, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but raise slightly.

"Alright, drag it up!" Chiyang Yun shouted in a breath, afraid that the people above would listen to him.

He watched Zhou Lingzhen being dragged up little by little, even if he was almost at the top, he didn't feel at ease, he kept preparing below, and if the rope broke again, he would still be able to catch her.

However, the rope was much stronger than the vine, Zhou Lingzhen was lifted up, sat on it and probed, "You guys hurry up and pull him up." ”

Chiyang didn't rush up, but shouted: "Come down alone, with a shovel!" ”

Zhou Lingzhen was stunned, "What are you doing?" Come on, huh? ”

"You escort the second lady back, and send it directly to the county to find a doctor to treat her wounds!" Chiyang commanded again.

"Yes!"

After receiving the order, the secret guards divided their labor.

"I'm not leaving!" Zhou Lingzhen frowned, "What are you going to do down there?" ”

Chiyang smiled, "You are obedient, hurry up and go to the medical hall to find a doctor, you will wait for me in the county, and I will go over to look for you in a day at most." ”

As he spoke, a dark guard had already slid down with a shovel.

Chiyang immediately pointed to the front and said, "You go and dig that place for me." ”

The place where he and Zhou Lingzhen are located is in the shape of a recess, but that position is also the lowest in the entire pit. In other words, he saw that the water was actually flowing from the mouth of the pit where it had fallen to where they had just been.

But what does it mean that the water has not accumulated a level, but has penetrated?

"That's it, dig." Chiyang pointed to a muddy area.

The Dark Guard nodded yes and began digging. The soil is unexpectedly soft, and it stands to reason that even if the soil has not been trampled on, if it rains during the rainy season and the sun is exposed, it will not be reduced because there is shelter on it.

The ground should be hard, not soft, anyway.

After a few gentle shovels, he suddenly came across a hard object.

"Chief, there's something down there." These secret guards are all under the control of Chiyang and are responsible for Zhou Huanchun's safety, so they are not Zhou Lingmo's people.

Chiyang squatted down and picked up the dirt, and the hard object was a rectangular lid like iron. There is a gap in the front of the lid, and there is an iron ring on it, just the size of a palm that can reach in.

He tugged on the ring, and there were signs of loosening, and he said to the guard, "Come, pull it up with all your might." ”

In the end, I didn't eat much, and my strength was still not enough.

With a hard pull, the entire rectangular iron lid was pulled open, revealing a ladder leading to the ground.

Just when the dark guard wanted to go down, Chiyang instructed, "Slow down, be careful of the slippery ladder." ”

The ladder was covered with water, no doubt through the gap in front of the iron lid. And when they went underground, they found that the rainwater had flowed down the gap to the edge of the wall, and it flowed down the edge of the wall little by little.

There is a track that is able to dredge rainwater. It's damp underground, but it's not muddy.

The red sun blew on the fire fold, and the faint light could only shine a little range, and the dark guard's eyes quickly adjusted to the darkness, and he pointed to a place and said, "Chief, there seems to be a table over there, and there should be candles on it." ”

Hearing him say this, Chiyang handed him the fire fold, "You go and light it." ”

The dark guard walked to the table with the fire fold, and when he saw that it was indeed a candlelight, he lit it. Instantly, a small area lit up underground, and the dark guard looked around and noticed that there were wall lamps on the edge of the wall.

So, light up the wall lamps on the opposite side, and the entire basement is exposed.

"Hah! There is nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it! After Chiyang saw the whole picture of this underground, he couldn't help but smile.

The feelings here are the treasury of their killers, I have to say, although the design is simple, but it is very effective!

At least, even if ordinary people fall in, they will find a way to go up, if it weren't for this heavy rain, he paid attention again, it would be impossible to find this hidden underground vault.

"You go and call someone, bring the tools over, everything here is cleaned, bring a pen and paper, and I will record it myself!" Chiyang smiled.

When the dark guard was ordered to leave, he took a look around the underground vault and found that there were not only gold, silver and jewelry, but also some antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and even the loot they had obtained after the killing, all of which were arranged according to the region.

"Yo! There is wine! Chiyang immediately opened a jar of wine.

At this time, although I am not particularly thirsty, I am indeed a little thirsty.
