Chen Yuan said to everyone: "Let's go back, everyone, it is estimated that the meal has been cooked." [***], brothers, you are responsible for greeting tonight, if you are not thoughtful, for you is to ask. Han Qi, you also go back, I'll clean up here, and then I'll hire a car to go to Taishi's Mansion, you're tired today, have a good rest at night. ”

Hu Yanping responded, and Han Qi was a little reluctant: "Shopkeeper, I'm not tired, I'll go with you, I'll clean up here." ”

Chen Yuan waved his hand: "No, it's okay to have me and the white guard, you all go back, eat and drink better at night." ”

Bai Yutang glared at Chen Yuan: "Why do you want me to accompany you?" Are you your buddy to me? ”

Chen Yuan was very surprised: "Isn't your task to look at me?" ”

Bai Yutang wrinkled his nose: "Looking at you, I'm afraid you'll run away!" Do you still need to watch it? I've been dragged by you for an afternoon, and I'm already worthy of you, and when you come back by yourself in the evening, I'll go back to eat and drink with everyone. ”

Chen Yuan smiled: "Cheng, let's go." ”

After Bai Yutang and the others left, Chen Yuan took water to extinguish the firewood, cleaned up the stove again, covered the pot, put the basin away, and placed the kettle where it should be.

Everything was cleaned up, and he suddenly noticed that the kettle was missing. After thinking about it for a while, I understood that the girl must have just sent a pot of water when she brought it down, and she didn't bring the empty kettle. Chen Yuan smiled helplessly: "I don't know which eldest lady of her family actually came to me." ”

Carrying the ladder and opening the small door of the ice cellar again, the kettle was all iron, and if it was placed in the ice cellar, it would freeze with the ground overnight. When the time comes, it may take a bit of effort to get it out.

Shopkeeper Chen doesn't have much money now, and this kettle is also good.

Carrying the ladder to the top of the ice cellar, Chen Yuan stood by the door, holding the ladder with one hand and opening the small door with the other.

The small door had just opened, only to hear an angry roar from inside: "Chen Shimei! Why are you putting me in this ice cellar! ”

Chen Yuan was frightened by this sudden shout, and his whole person trembled, his hands were soft, and his feet slipped, "Alas, alas, oops!" ”

Although he struggled, in the end, the whole person still couldn't even use the ladder, and fell straight from it!

The door closed again, and the ladder fell heavily after the door closed, and was about to press on the door!

When Chen Yuan got up from the ground, the first thing he did was to look up at the top of his head, it was so dark! Only a few faint rays of sunlight shone in through the cracks in the door panels. After being stunned for a while, he turned his head and looked at Zhao Yi, who was standing beside him with a stunned expression, Chen Yuan was very angry, he wanted to scold! But in the end, after tapping Zhao Yi twice, he asked, "Grandma, why didn't you leave here?" ”

Zhao Yi looked confident: "I'll come down to bring you tea, and you won't call me when you leave!" When I hear the door shut, I call you, and you ignore me! ”

Chen Yuan clapped his hands: "Didn't you hear me call it a day?" ”

Zhao Yi shook his head: "No, you don't know how to shout louder!" ”

Chen Yuan patted his forehead, he really had nothing to say. After a while, Zhao Yi asked in a low voice, "So, what should we do now?" ”

Seeing her nervous appearance, Chen Yuan sighed: "It's okay, don't worry." I'm going to bring the ice cubes, and the door on top is not plugged in, and it can be pushed open when it's piled up. ”

Zhao Yi heard him say this, and felt a lot more relieved at the moment: "Oh, then I'll help you pile it up." ”

Two people brought ice cubes and pounded them up piece by piece. The ice cube below is easy to do, just push it over. But when it was time to pile it up, it really took two people a lot of effort.

When the sunlight outside disappeared and the right height had just been piled up, Chen Yuan climbed up and pushed the door, only to find that the door panel had been pressed by the ladder, and the ladder must have been stuck with something and couldn't be pushed open.

Zhao Yi was very frightened: "Then what should I do?" I'm so scared now! Will we freeze to death here at night? ”

Chen Yuan was not panicked: "Don't worry, if they find out that you are not there after going back in a while, they will definitely come to look for you, at most two hours." Besides, I still have this here! Chen Yuan took out the fire fold that he had put away on the stove just now, and shook it proudly in front of Zhao Yi, and a string of small flames jumped up, bringing a little light to this cold and dark ice cellar.

Today, there is construction in the ice cellar, and naturally some wood remains, as long as you set the wood on fire, it should be enough to drive away some of the cold. Both of them were wearing thick clothes, and it was not difficult to come and endure for two hours.

He tore a few strips of cloth from his clothes, lit them with a fire breaker, and then lit a small bonfire against the pile of scraps of wood that had been found, and the flames leaped up in the ice cellar.

Temperature and flame don't really play a role in such an ice cellar, but the psychological comfort it gives is immeasurable! The firelight shone on the surrounding ice, making the entire ice cellar light up, Zhao Yi's face was obviously a lot soothed, and he squatted next to the firelight and stopped moving.

Chen Yuan knew that she wanted to keep warm, and even knew that the temperature was not enough for her to keep warm, so he said at the moment: "Hey, stand up, you will be very cold if you squat for a while." ”

Zhao Yi was also obedient when he arrived now, and immediately stood up and followed Chen Yuan's example to find some broken wood in the cellar.

After the two of them found everything they could collect, Chen Yuanchong smiled at Zhao Yi: "Don't worry, this fire is still very long, and as long as we ensure that this flame is not extinguished, it is really not possible to tear down these wooden walls that have just been made today, and it will not be a problem to burn them until tomorrow morning." ”

Zhao Yi finally admitted his mistake at this time: "I, I really didn't hear it just now, otherwise I definitely wouldn't have stayed here." ”

Chen Yuan didn't care about her, after all, it seemed that it was just a small mistake now: "It's okay, I'm also negligent, I should look at some when I leave." Don't talk about it, okay? Let's talk about something else.

Zhao Yi suddenly asked, "Last time you said that the princess could sell for a lot of money, is it true?" ”

Chen Yuan was very proud: "If I go to negotiate, I can!" Since she was a child, she was able to change Tie Anli and Sutu and they returned safely, and I will definitely sell her for this! On the big side, as long as the negotiation is good, her marriage can at least prevent the war between Da Song and the party within five years! ”

Now it is necessary to speak, to keep talking. That perverted Bell said that the most taboo thing for people in difficult situations is silence, because silence can make you despair! If you don't have someone to say anything with you, even if it's talking to yourself.

Chen Yuan put a little bit of wood on the fire: "Do you know how terrible war is? It can displace countless people, and it can make the tears of those people flow into rivers! On the battlefield, a single order from a commander in chief can mean the loss of thousands of lives. I'm really afraid of war. ”

Zhao Yi didn't speak, and the whole person fell into deep thought. Chen Yuan saw Zhao Yi's face through the firelight, this was indeed a beautiful posture. Now that there are only the two of them here, can they take advantage of a little advantage? Idle is idle anyway.

Chen Yuan's mind turned, and he immediately had an idea: "Do you believe that there are ghosts in this world?" ”

Zhao Yi was stunned for a moment: "What are you talking about this?" ”

Chen Yuan came out with a very serious expression: "I heard that an environment like ours should belong to the Extreme Yin Land, and those ghosts like to haunt such places the most!" ”

Zhao Yi's voice began to tremble: "You, are you telling the truth?" ”

Chen Yuan smiled secretly in his heart: "It's done, this little girl is easy to deceive." If she said something terrifying, would she pounce on it all at once? ”

Thinking of this, Chen Yuan's face didn't see a smile: "I don't know if what others said is true, that person told me that he had seen a ghost with his own eyes, and it was in an ice cellar!" ”

Zhao Yi's face suddenly turned pale, and the whole person leaned a little closer to Chen Yuan, and gently pulled Chen Yuan's sleeve with his hand: "Please, don't say any more, okay?" ”

Chen Yuan is very satisfied, he shouldn't say it now, he should start from other aspects to scare her, it's best to make a little noise!

Chen Yuan rolled his eyes and saw a piece of wood under his feet, and immediately kicked it quietly, and the wood slashed across the ground and hit the ice, making a very crisp sound!

Chen Yuan immediately asked, "What sound?" ”

Zhao Yi suddenly screamed, pulled Chen Yuan's arm tightly in his arms, and closed his eyes tightly: "Look at it, what do you see?" ”

Chen Yuan didn't see anything, but he felt that his arm had touched something, and it was very good and comfortable! It's just that the thick clothes on the two people are a little mistaken! But it doesn't matter, with Chen Yuan's experience, give him the tip of the iceberg and he can imagine what the entire iceberg looks like!

While imagining, he said, "I'm watching, don't be afraid!" ”

After feeling it for a while, Chen Yuan found that the cold sweat on Zhao Yi's head came out, he knew that his joke might be a little excessive, and he smiled at the moment: "Haha, don't be afraid, nothing, I lied to you just now!" ”

Zhao Yi slowly opened his eyes at this time: "Really? ”

Chen Yuan pointed to the piece of wood: "Do you see it?" I just kicked it over, scaring you. ”

Zhao Yi was immediately angry: "Chen Shimei! You've gone too far! ”

Chen Yuan hurriedly apologized: "I know, I know!" Shall I make amends to you? ”

Zhao Yi's chest rose and fell a few times, but he didn't say anything in the end. walked into the distance like a gambler, not staying with Chen Yuan.

This made Chen Yuan feel very bad, there were only two people in the room, if she ignored herself, didn't she really want to let herself talk to herself?

Chen Yuan was about to say something, but he only heard the same crashing sound in his ears as just now sounding rhythmically in the ice cellar.

"Tuk, Tuk"

Chen Yuan looked at Zhao Yi, she stood there and didn't move, but when she heard the sound, she looked at Chen Yuan angrily: "Are you still here?" ”

Chen Yuan's face was whiter than Zhao Yi just now, and he spread his hands: "It's not me this time, isn't it you?" ”

He felt a horror in his heart now!

This place was sealed at all, and the exit was on his head, and neither he nor Zhao Yi moved. Where did this sound come from? What I just said was not good, but I said ghosts. Isn't it a ghost who heard someone say it, so he came to find it. It's okay if I don't want to, but the more I think about it, the more scared I become.
