171. Secret Room

Xu Xiaole followed the comers around in the dark alleyway, crossed three or four small bridges, and jumped onto a small boat. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info a small boat swinging on the water, silently moving for several miles, avoiding several gates, and finally stopped at the back door of a waterfront house.

The one who led the way knocked seven times on the door, and the sound of the soo was heard from inside, and in a short time someone got down the latch and opened the door a crack.

This kind of riverside Jiangnan house is very common in Suzhou, and the layout inside is the same. Xu Xiaole entered the door, followed the people in front of him in the dark, and touched all the way to the covered room. Before they could get to the house, the two of them removed a standing cabinet and revealed the secret door underneath.

Xu Xiaole put his hand in his sleeve, pinched the ingot of gold, and secretly said in his heart: They don't shy away from me in such a hidden place, either they really treat me as their own, or they want to kill me afterwards. Even if it's really a big ear, he won't believe me to such an extent, it seems that I have to find a way to get out of it.

"Brother Xiaole, Brother Big Ear is down there." The leader pointed to the passage of the black hole below.

Xu Xiaole pretended to raise his foot and put it down again, wondering: "I've been afraid of the dark since I was a child, can I light a candle?" ”

The leader shook his head and said, "Brother Xiaole, then you grab my belt, and I'll go ahead." He said as he unbuckled his belt and handed it to Xu Xiaole.

Xu Xiaole's heart turned very quickly, and while taking the belt, he was ready to wait for the passer-by to suddenly attack when he was halfway down. He'd calculated that he would punch the person behind him first - he looked older and had a bit of a limp, so he should be better able to deal with. Then reflexively deal with the leader who can't go up or down in this dark passage, as long as he kicks accurately, the advantage is still quite big.

But the back door can't be walked, the ship may not be there, and the boatman must be one of them.

Xu Xiaole saw that the person who led the way had already leaned in, and suddenly a head arched out of the tunnel, and forcibly pushed the person who led the way back.

The man's eyes had already adjusted to the darkness, and he swept at the three figures above, and then whispered, "Xiaole, is that you?" ”

Xu Xiaole finally breathed a sigh of relief, it was indeed Zhang Daer.

Xu Xiaole said, "Big ears, are you okay?" ”

Zhang Da'er said: "I'm fine, but please come and save a friend's life." ”

Xu Xiaole glared at the one who led the way: he couldn't even speak.

Xu Xiaole said: "Why is it in such a place? Can't you get it outside? ”

Zhang Da'er said: "I can't say anything about this for a while, you come down with me first." ”

Xu Xiaole followed Zhang Da'er and walked down. He didn't really trust Zhang Da'er, but now that Zhang Da'er appeared, the possibility that he wanted to fight was stifled, so it was better to go and see what was going on. What's more, Zhang Da'er didn't show any murderous aura, let alone kidnap him for dozens of taels of silver.

After going down to the end, this secret passage suddenly opened up, and it was about three zhang wide. Zhang Da'er fumbled for a fire and lit an oil lamp.

The cellar was lit up by oil lamps like beans, and three beds were placed along the walls. There were three people lying on the bed, motionless. It is the patient who needs Xu Xiaole's life.

Xu Xiaole stepped forward to take a look. The first was lying on the bed with an arrow tied to his back, the shaft of which had been broken, revealing white stubble. The second is lying on his back to the sky, his breath is weak, and his chest is covered with blood. From the angle of inclination, it should have been a very serious knife wound. The third had several holes in his body and was no longer bleeding.

Xu Xiaole stood in front of the bed of the third injured person, and said secretly: Is this still alive? So he reached out and touched the man's pulse, and when he touched it, he knew that he was dead. He grabbed his arm and shook it again, and the body was already stiff.

Zhang Daer said nervously on the side: "Xiaole, can you save it?" ”

The corners of Xu Xiaole's mouth twitched, and he went to probe the pulses of the two people in front of him. Finally, neither of them is dead, but their lives are already hanging by a thread. He pointed to the dead man and said, "Let him be buried." These two can also try, and quickly send me back to Changchun Hall to get instruments and medicinal materials. ”

Zhang Daer hesitated a little: "Xiaole, what do you want, just say it, I'll ask someone to buy it." ”

Xu Xiaole glared at him: "I'm afraid you won't be able to buy what I want." He added, "If you can't trust me, don't come to me." ”

Zhang Daer nodded and said, "I naturally trust you, but we are all people who lick blood from the knife edge, so we can't be careless." ”

Xu Xiaole said impatiently: "Then what else is delayed?" Send me back quickly! You have a boat, send me directly to Guangfu Bridge. It's too late! Also, these two people can't stay here, they have to be sent to a clean, ventilated room with sunlight. ”

Zhang Da'er frowned and said, "I'm afraid this is too risky." ”

Xu Xiaole frowned and said, "Then you just watched them die here?" ”

Zhang Daer had no choice but to order: "Send him to Guangfu Bridge." ”

Xu Xiaole turned around and left, this time it was much easier to climb the secret passage. Zhang Da'er followed Xu Xiaole to the ground, took out a gold ingot of five taels from his sleeve, and said, "Xiaole, I know that you are more careful and think carefully." It's a deposit, don't think about it. ”

Xu Xiaole thought about it, took the gold, and said, "It's okay, I'll take the money to see a doctor, I won't think about it." ”

Zhang Daer said again: "I didn't want to involve you, but Uncle He asked me to find you and said that you would definitely keep a secret for us." ”

Xu Xiaole frowned: "Which Uncle He?" ”

Zhang Da'er said: "It's the one I met at your house on August 15." ”

Xu Xiaole didn't believe it: "Where did you meet him?" ”

Zhang Daer didn't answer him, but said, "Uncle He still wants me to tell you: blood mushrooms." ”

Xu Xiaole nodded. No one knew about He Shaoyang using mushrooms to treat him for blood sickness, and it was impossible for a third person to know that Xu Xiaole saw the sea of blood after eating mushrooms. These three words are just an unknown code for Zhang Daer, but for Xu Xiaole, they are allusions that can prove his identity.

Since it was He Shaoyang's arrangement, Xu Xiaole was not worried that Zhang Daer would treat him badly. In the end, human life was at stake, Xu Xiaole got on the boat from the back door again, and went all the way to Guangfu Bridge. From Guangfu Bridge to Changchun Hall, the road is very close.

Xu Xiaole returned to the hospital, and most of the people were already in the house ready to rest. He went directly to Pharmacist Lu and asked him to open the treasury and get honeysuckle, forsythia, and purple didine, which were the easiest cleansing medicines for treating external injuries. Considering that the injuries of those two people were very serious, the medicinal materials for blood and muscle building should also be prepared.

Pharmacist Lu didn't know what was going on just by looking at honeysuckle, forsythia, and purple diding, and when he saw Xu Xiaole's preparation of drugs to replenish blood and build muscles, he probably guessed it. He asked, "Xiaole, you didn't get involved in any trouble, did you?" ”

Xu Xiaole didn't want to lie to him, but he didn't want to lose He Shaoyang. He said: "It's my former partner, they all played on the street, and this time I lost half my life." ”

Pharmacist Lu nodded: "You are different now, it's nothing for this kind of person to save in friendship, but don't be dragged down." ”

Xu Xiaole could hear Pharmacist Lu's deep concern, nodded and said, "I understand." ”
