Chapter 20: The Extreme Cold Passage
On the second day, Zhuang Sheng dealt with the family affairs, and by the way, he thought about it behind closed doors, and put aside Xiao Yu's affairs for the time being.
A few days passed in a blink of an eye, and Zhuang Sheng was staying at home with mold and was about to go out.
Since his brother reprimanded him a few words, and he also lectured him well, Yun Yun also felt that she was a little sister, and she shouldn't be so strict, so she didn't stop him, but she was worried that he would get some bad habits, especially the big smoke, which is something that can make people bankrupt and ruined, Yun Yun never dared to let Zhuang Sheng touch it, so she said: "You want to go out to play, I can only persuade you as a sister to do it yourself, there is no reason to stop it, you don't have to talk nonsense with others, if you are contaminated with opium, I won't live, you can do it yourself." ”
"You girl," Zhuang Sheng said with a smile, "I'm rich enough to rival the country, and I can't help the erosion of that thing, don't worry, I have self-knowledge, besides, how can I let you down again, I'm just distracted, and I'll be back soon." ”
Yun Yun pursed her lips and smiled, watching him leave.
In the past nearly a month, Xiao Yu has felt that the matter is not trivial, so he sealed the tunnel, blocked all the holes that can penetrate the cold, and dug a tunnel in the solid land in the backyard of the old house to go to the basement, so that the cold can permeate the air and not lead to the house, making the house cold and biting.
Zhuang Sheng went to Xiao Yu to the gate, there were two people in front of the door, who knew Zhuang Sheng, so they said: "The young master is not at home, he went to the old house." ”
Zhuang Sheng went to his old house again, and when he saw that the door was closed, he heard a familiar voice, "Knock knock-" The sound began to echo again, Zhuang Sheng was sure that the sound came from his house, so he knocked on the door and shouted: "Xiao Yu—"
Xiao Yu came to open the door for a while and greeted him with a smile.
"What's closed in broad daylight?"
"Naturally, it's an unsightly thing." Xiao Yu said, "I dug a secret passage in the backyard to lead to the basement. ”
"What the hell are you doing, you made this 'dong dong' sound?"
"It's the workers who are chiseling the stones, and the secret passage is ready, but it still needs to be retouched."
Zhuang Sheng looked at him strangely, this year is gradually getting cold, but today the weather is sunny, he is still sweating all the way, he is already dressed like a huge zongzi, "Are you very cold?" ”
"You're not cold?" Xiao Yu saw that Zhuang Sheng was only wearing a cotton coat inside and a coat outside, and his forehead was shining and sweating.
"It's not cold."
"Strange." Xiao Yu looked at him and was puzzled.
"Alright." Zhuang Sheng shouted to see how the tunnel was dug, Xiao Yu took it to see, just admitted to the hospital, he saw that these workers came out of the hole, Zhuang Sheng saw that they were all like freshly unearthed sweet potatoes, their whole faces were purple and red, and their bodies were wrapped in three layers of cotton clothes inside and three layers outside, and it was inconvenient to move.
"Look at them, they don't look like people anymore." Xiao Yu asked, "Don't you feel cold at all?" ”
"I've been afraid of heat since I was a child." Zhuang Sheng said.
These workers asked tremblingly: "Young Master Xiao, why is it so cold in your underground, ten times colder than the coldest winter, I see that the basement is frozen, and it seems that a layer of skin is frozen when I take a step forward." ”
"I'm extremely heavy in this underground yin, so so be so." Xiao Yu asked, "What's going on inside?" ”
"Seven of us brothers worked day and night, and we were almost done, and now the tunnel is flat and the walls are smooth."
"Okay, I can't lose you guys, you go to the front yard to rest first, I'll go in and take a look, and I'll pay when I come back."
The seven men agreed, but they couldn't get up anymore, they all leaned against the trees beside them, and said, "Rest and go again, it's too cold, and the bones are frozen hard." ”
Xiao Yu nodded, called Zhuang Sheng to the entrance of the cave, and asked, "Are you sure you don't want to wear?" ”
"I'll try it first, and then come out when it's too cold to stand it."
Xiao Yu ignored him, put on two big cotton jackets, ate a heat dissipation pill, jumped down the hole, looked at Zhuang Sheng and said, "Come down." ”
Zhuang Sheng looked at it, jumped down, there was a tunnel in front, there were candlesticks on the walls on both sides, Xiao Yu took a breath of cold air, his body suddenly shrank, the two did not speak again, the surroundings were so quiet that only the sound of slow footsteps and rapid breathing could be heard, and suddenly to a stone door, Xiao Yu twisted a stone, a stone door opened, and there was a hole, there were four or five people standing side by side wide, in front of the hole was a stone staircase, along the stone staircase under the height of a person, and it was flat again. The cold here is even worse, seeping out from the hole, seeping out of the wall, passing through the heavy clothes, and penetrating into Xiao Yu's body, he gasped for breath, but the medicinal power played a role at this time, he felt that he could still move forward, Zhuang Sheng was calm, and he felt strange when he saw Xiao Yu cold like this. The more he walked in, the more Xiao Yu felt extremely cold, the cave wall was covered with a layer of frost, and there were no candles lit here, because this location had reached the guest room in the front yard, Xiao Yu asked them to dig a hole along the road to lead to the guest room on the ground, and then lifted the roof of the guest room, so that the light came in.
The frosty walls turned white, and the air was filled with cold air, invading his skin, and his airways seemed to be about to freeze, and he couldn't feel his breath anymore.
"It's not so cold this morning, don't go ahead!" Xiao Yu thought, so he stopped and said, "Ahhh
He noticed that his throat seemed to have frost, and he was speechless and his expression stiffened.
"Hello? What's going on? Zhuang Sheng was shocked and hurriedly grabbed him, "What's wrong with you?" ”
Xiao Yu suddenly felt a warm current coming from Zhuang Sheng's hand, gradually driving away the cold in his body.
When Zhuang Sheng saw him standing there motionless, he felt strange, and a sense of fear arose.
"What's wrong with you?" Zhuang Sheng asked repeatedly, holding his hand with one hand and slapping his face with the other.
Xiao Yu's body gradually recovered, his staring eyes blinked, his open mouth finally closed, saliva secreted in his mouth, his tongue, throat, and mouth recovered, and he said hoarsely: "Your body is very special." ”
Zhuang Sheng said: "I belong to the congenital hot constitution, the fortune teller told me when I was a child. ”
"What a savior." Xiao Yu said, "Go on, you go ahead." ”
Zhuang Sheng walked forward, and Xiao Yu kept holding his shoulders and following behind, so he didn't feel cold, and he was also curious about this kind of strange thing.
