Chapter 164: Four Boxes

The contents of the two large wooden barrels were not valuable, but they were brought up.

The barrel and the contents are not valuable, but the hanging chains are not cheap, and this structure is obviously not hastily made, indicating that the barrel and the contents are very important, so after putting the things out, Zhu Da studied them very carefully.

In his and Zhou Qingyun's experience, if the barrel has a sandwich or a dark grid, what is strange about the well wheel, it is easy to be discovered, there will be gaps between the sandwich and the dark grid, and there will be differences in the amount of materials, Zhu Da didn't think that the barrel and the well wheel are made of precious metals, but unfortunately everything is normal.

"If the arrangement in this can be hidden from me, then the Zheng family should not be in the Zheng family." Zhu Da muttered.

There was nothing strange about this, Judah re-entered the well, stepped on the stone beam and probed down with a torch, and then threw a few stones down, and there was indeed well water in the well, and it was not shallow, and he used a rope to hang the torch and probed down, until it reached the surface of the water, and the flame of the torch was not blown somewhere because of the air current, but it was extinguished very quickly.

"Could there be ghosts?" Li He, who looked down, said.

"What the hell, it's closed for too long, there's no living gas below, wait for a stick of incense and then put the torch down, if it doesn't go out, it'll be fine." Zhu Da said angrily.

After discovering that there was water in the well, Zhu Da began to wonder if there was a secret passage in the well, and in his more than 20 years of life, he had learned to dig a secret room in the well, and was later found to be because he used a rope to hang a candle down, and found that the flame was deflected in the direction of the secret passage, but after testing it with a torch, he denied this speculation.

As for the torch to put it down and extinguish it quickly, in the past ten years of life, my parents and elders have told this, saying that if the cellar is not opened for a long time, it will accumulate dead air, and after opening, it will be vacant for a period of time before entering, otherwise, it is easy to faint or even suffocate to death, which is nothing more than the meaning of too high carbon dioxide content.

Zhu Da went down again and stood on the stone beam, and asked them to bring a wind lantern from the car, so that they could get closer to the water surface to observe, but before the wind lamp was put down, he heard the sound of the bowstring outside, Zhou Qingyun opened the bow and shot an arrow, and in the well, he could also hear the commotion of the hired workers outside, but it soon quieted down.

"What's the matter?"

"It seems that there are people, I don't know if I was shot."

After hearing Zhou Qingyun's deep answer, Zhu Da looked at the water again, and with the interruption of Fang Cai, he reacted, Zhu Da laughed, stepped on the stone beam and climbed out, but stood directly at the mouth of the well and took off his clothes, which made the hired workers and handlebar workers stunned, and said in his heart Is this old man crazy, this time he has made a lot of money, why bother to dig things up and be naked, but Zhou Qingyun glanced at it twice, or continued to be on guard against the outside world.

After Zhu Da took off his strips, he shouted to someone to re-erect the well wheel at the mouth of the well, and there was a special bracket for the wheel in the big wooden barrel, which could be easily set up, and after it was set up, he tied the rope around his waist and said to the people around him: "Slowly shake me down, and then drag it up when you get the news." “

Then prepare a rope, just throw it down directly, Zhu Da came to the stone beam with two torches in his hand first, and then began to go down, two people at the wellhead controlled the shaft wheel, slowly put Zhu Da down, and another person sent another rope down.

When he was about three feet above the water, Judah swung the rope and stuck the torch into the gap in the wall on both sides, and then shouted above to continue.

Of course, the well water in this weather is very cold, Zhu Da can't care about this, and slowly sleeps in the water with the momentum, the water is very cold, the water is very deep, if it is not for the warm-up activities on it, I am afraid that it will cramp and stiffen now, and the well water is almost no more than an adult.

Zhu Da took a deep breath and entered the water, he has practiced water sex over the years, this depth is nothing, after entering the water, he groped in the water a few times, and through the light of the torch through the water surface, it was easy to touch the foreign object, and there were four wooden boxes inlaid with iron at the bottom of the well.

As expected, when Zhu Da surfaced for ventilation, he couldn't help but smile, he thought about this arrangement complicated, in fact, it was very simple, this well is the preparation of the Zheng family at a critical moment, and the big families have such arrangements, leaving a chance for their own family to rise again, and at worst, they must let the families who survived the death live a life of food and clothing, this well looks normal, I am afraid that it is easy to grind it out, bluestone slabs and straw bales filled with rubble and weeds are prepared in advance, and they can be arranged quickly once needed.

First of all, it is difficult for people who are not familiar with the Zheng family to know that there is a well here, and the well of normal people will not be in this location, and the ground here is no different from other places, even if you happen to find the first layer of stone slabs, you will give up when you see the rubble and weeds of the second layer after opening it, and feel that this well has been filled in.

If someone can break through the second layer and see the stone slab below, then this concealment and arrangement has actually failed, as for the wooden barrel hanging on the stone beam, the reels and ropes contained in it, this is not a suspicion at all, it is a tool for going into the water to get the wooden box, anyone will need it.

These arrangements cannot be said to be not thorough, and various circumstances have been taken into account, but I didn't expect that this catastrophe came too suddenly, and the Mongolian horse team broke the Zheng family set so quickly, I am afraid that the Zheng family was busy arranging the front and back of this well, and the Zheng family house was already about to be broken, and they couldn't even run away.

Zhu Da didn't think about it for too long, he quickly tied a wooden box with a second rope, about two feet long, one foot wide and one foot high, and there was an iron ring on top that was convenient for tying with ropes.

"Master, is it the card owner, why don't you move." The rope was taut but not lifted, and someone shouted at the mouth of the well.

Zhu Da was stunned for a moment, and then went into the water again, he already felt that his body was slightly numb, it was too cold, and he touched the wooden box that was tied by the rope, and there was water all around, was there anything hanging below, Zhu Da held his breath and moved the wooden box, but he didn't move it up the first time, he was going to go to the top to ask for a short knife, and he moved it with greater strength, and immediately understood the reason.

"Call someone again, use more strength!" Juda shouted, he reached out and grabbed the rope, and then shouted that the shaft was swinging upward, and he could hear the shouting at the mouth of the well, and the wooden box was lifted little by little, not that something was stuck, but that the wooden box was too heavy.

This is too heavy is not how heavy it is exaggerated, but everyone does not think that there will be heavy things in the well, and the strength used is limited, when the manpower is added, there is not much difficulty, Zhu Da and the wooden box appeared at the wellhead together, Zhu Da jumped out and first opened his teeth and claws at the wellhead, and said while jumping: "The well water is too cold, it will freeze, which of you brings wine, you already know that the Wei family's jar of wine has been brought." “

A handlebar hurriedly sent a gourd over, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, sir, there is no medicine here." ”

The wooden box was about two hundred catties smaller, and two people simply stepped on the stone beam, dragged the wooden box out of the well, and two more people came to pick it up.

After taking a sip of wine, although it was a spicy mouth and throat-burning bad wine, it made the cold body warm, Zhu Da poured it again, but he still kept running, and a hired worker on the side hurriedly said: "Master, the small one can also water." ”

Zhu Da looked at it, shook his head and smiled: "Your body is not strong enough, you can't withstand it below, and you will only drown when the time comes." “

He and Zhou Qingyun have not lacked food, fish and meat all these years, they have been boiling their bodies all day long, their foundations are very good, and they can withstand it in cold water, these hired workers who have lived a poor life and have physical deficits are different, the cold air enters the body, and they will soon cramp and stiffen, and they can't move in the water, and they may drown very much, and as soon as they enter the water, the ropes on it cannot be controlled too finely, and they can't take care of it at all, and it will be too late to find out.

The hired man was a little stunned, and said with a dry smile: "Master, when will the small body be as strong as the master?" “

Originally, he didn't have anything to say, but Zhu Da replied seriously: "Follow me well in the future, you will have enough food and fish every day, and you will be strong in a few years!" “

Then go down the well Zhu Da made adjustments, the rope of the well wheel naturally hung into the well, and then put down two long ropes along the side of the well, one tied to the waist, the other as a support, the climber went down, and after entering the water, directly tied the wooden box with the rope hanging down the wheel, this time it was much easier to lift it up, the Zheng family considered it very comprehensively, and the well wheel was to lift these heavy wooden boxes up from the well water.

When the third wooden box was mentioned, Zhu Da heard Zhou Qingyun's movement of shooting arrows with a bow again, and also heard his shout and ordered, "Keep the direction of your own house, don't move, and throw the wooden gun when you see someone in front of you!" ”

Their team stayed in the Zheng family's mansion for a long time, and many people wandering at night were attracted to it, but looking at the fire and not daring to approach, Zhou Qingyun's bow and arrow made people even more fearful.

"Put the wooden boxes in the car, and put the two boxes in one car." Zhu Da's face turned blue from the cold at this time, and he urged while moving.

The hired workers hurriedly carried it to the car, each box was nearly two hundred catties, the wooden box was specially treated, the good wood was used and the oil was cleaned several times, that is, there were blisters, the corners were reinforced with copper and iron, and the iron chain was wound and a lock was put on.

Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun were not in a hurry to open the box, but when they were carrying, the hired workers and the handlebar type had excited looks, this weight was not light, it must contain valuable goods, and when the wooden boxes were loaded into the car, Zhu Da and a few people threw the bluestone slabs and straw bales back into the well, and used the stone slabs to reseal the wellhead and cover it with floating soil, and then set off.

"This is something that has no master, and those who see it have a share!" Someone shouted in the darkness, so he could see.
