Chapter 371: At the bottom of the rockery, there is a water prison.
The pine oil touched the fire, and it burned with a beep, and as the fire gradually brightened, Huang Dezi blocked in front of Qin Baichuan with a vigilant face, and Qin Baichuan looked at it carefully. The position he was in was about two and a half meters high, and it was no longer surrounded by dirt, but all rocks. The road under my feet continues to pass forward, I don't know where it leads, there is a string of chains hanging on the stone door on the right hand, and it seems that it is similar to the stone prison in Liu Yuanyuan's Zhongyi fence.
"Little Dezi, open the door." Qin Baichuan pondered for a moment and commanded.
"Understood." Xiao Dezi motioned for Qin Baichuan to lean against the wall, and he dragged the chain with his left hand and pushed the door hard. This stone door looks heavy, but the bottom is an installation mechanism, even if there is a thousand forces inside, it is difficult to open, and the outside is a little harder, the mechanism rotates, and the stone door makes a creaking sound, and is pushed open by Huang Dezi alone.
"Owner...... It's ...... It seems to be a water prison ......" After waiting for a long time and there was no movement inside, Huang Dezi took off the torch and probed it again. Qin Baichuan glanced inside, this cell seemed to be a low-lying cistern, covered with a stone fence, it was indeed a water prison.
Qin Baichuan didn't speak, Huang Dezi gritted his teeth and said, "Owner, we've heard about it a long time ago...... You must be careful and careful when making a living in the Cheng family, once you make an irreparable mistake, you will inevitably disappear inexplicably. Come to think of it, this is the place where the surname Cheng killed and threw his body in the future. ”
"Put the dead under his bed, Cheng Yangtian is not afraid of nightmares at night?" Qin Baichuan also agreed with Huang Dezi's statement, but after speaking, he remembered that they were groping their way forward in the dark passage, even if they didn't walk fast, they had at least walked a few hundred meters, and they had obviously long been away from Cheng Yangtian's bedroom.
"This is ......" Qin Baichuan touched the stone wall and suddenly realized: "The mountain behind the workshop!" ”
"The mountain behind the workshop?" Huang Dezi paused, and then nodded as well: "That's right, it's the mountain behind the workshop!" This Houshan is surnamed Cheng and personally supervised the work after he came, and it turned out that it was such a secret that was concealed! ”
"I'm afraid it's not as simple as a water prison." Qin Baichuan smiled and said, "The end of this passage should be connected to the river, Cheng Yangtian has already prepared an inconspicuous fishing boat under a tree outside the back mountain, it seems that it is also for escape." ”
Qin Baichuan only remembered at this time that when he came to the Baihua Workshop to find out the situation, he found a fishing boat on the shore, and he originally thought that it was left by nearby fishermen, but now he has figured it out. I have to say that although Cheng Yangtian's ladyboy is annoying, he is also thoughtful.
"Master, why don't we go out and have a look?" Huang Dezi waited for a while, and said tentatively.
"No, it's the same." Qin Baichuan shook his head and said, "Find a few people to come over tomorrow and rebuild this secret passage, the water prison will not be used, if it can be transformed into an ice cellar, store some ice cubes in winter, and take it out in summer, it must be very cool to think about." ”
"Transforming the Ice Cellar ......" Eating ice in summer is a great luxury for the people of Dasong, Huang Dezi said tentatively: "Owner, you can change it...... But the cost of the ice cellar is also a thousand taels of silver......"
"There is no need to save the money you should spend." Qin Baichuan took out two silver tickets from his body and handed them to Huang Dezi: "After you go up, you discuss with Xiao Chunzi to do it, maybe I will be of great use after this ice cellar is built." ”
"The little one understands!" The two silver tickets handed over by Qin Baichuan were each 1,000 taels, and he had just become the deputy director of the family, and the owner of the workshop gave such a big task, Huang Dezi even had to be grateful.
Qin Baichuan actually has his own plans, he doesn't care too much about whether ice is a rarity in this era, but after the Baihua Workshop facial cleanser, the mask must be the main thing, if you can add some ice cubes as accessories in the hot summer, so that the mask will have a cold feeling when it is pasted, and those rich ladies will not care much about adding some silver.
Qin Baichuan would not explain these things to Huang Dezi, seeing that there was nothing abnormal in the secret passage, and when the two of them were about to walk back, there was a sudden sound at the end of the passage. The sound was so strange that it made one's ears tingle and the heart was indescribably irritable, as if someone was scratching a slate with his fingernails.
"What people!" Qin Baichuan frowned, Huang Dezi shook the dagger, and said sharply.
"Squeak, squeak, squeak!" In response to Huang Dezi, there was an even more annoying scratching sound.
"Let's take a look." Qin Baichuan was shocked and clenched the dagger in his hand.
Huang Dezi gritted his teeth and nodded, holding a torch in his hand to lead Qin Baichuan, while Qin Baichuan followed quickly and chased after him following the sound. The further he went, the more damp the ground became, and Qin Baichuan finally noticed that this rockery was originally built on the surface of the river, and the river water irrigated it into the water prison, and the bottom of the rockery was hollowed out, and it was hidden in the river water was a huge water hole, and it was possible to enter the river directly from here.
Huang Dezi's hand holding the torch trembled, Qin Baichuan looked fixedly, there was an extra person out of thin air on the passage, this person was tied with a rope as thick as a thumb all over his body, he was drenched, it didn't look like he took the initiative to come here, but it seemed that he was thrown into the river and washed in by the river.
The hairpin on his head was knocked off by the river, and his long hair was scattered on his face, and on his shoulders, the lights were in a trance for a while, and he couldn't see his appearance clearly. The man stiffened, forced his breath against the wall and straightened up, his bound hands touching the stone wall, scratching with all his strength.
"Who are you?" In the unfamiliar passage on the ground, he met a half-dead guy with a disheveled head, and Huang Dezi's voice was filled with fear.
"Ah...... Pander to...... Ba ...... "Xu was to answer Huang Dezi, the man's mouth opened, and it took a lot of effort to come out of his mouth three scales. This person's voice was not loud, and the scale he made was extremely strange, but after hearing this voice, Qin Baichuan seemed to have been stepped on by someone's tail and jumped up all of a sudden!
Ignoring Huang Dezi's obstruction, he grabbed the torch and rushed to the figure, and when he lifted his long hair from his face, Qin Baichuan finally exclaimed: "Uncle Hu! ”
There was a brief blank in his mind, in Qin Baichuan's consciousness, although Uncle Hu was not young, he had the spirit that young people did not have, and he usually followed Qu Xi without saying a word, but the last time at the door of Wanhua Xiaozhu, Hu Bo took out his black sword and fought against several black-clothed killers alone. But the old man in front of him was pale, his teeth were almost dead, and it was clear that he only had half a life left!
"Uncle Hu, Uncle Hu, I'm Baichuan, Qin Baichuan!" I didn't expect to meet Hu Bo here, Qin Baichuan hugged his body, let him lie on the ground slowly, and picked up the thick rope that tied Hu Bo a few times, Qin Baichuan couldn't wait to say: "Hu Bo, why are you here?" Quxi, what about Quxi? ”
"Ah......" Huber opened his eyes, his lips moving, but only a muffled scale sounded.
"I ask, you nod or shake your head!" Seeing that Hu Bo had signs of fainting, Qin Baichuan couldn't care about that much: "Quxi was kidnapped by someone?" ”
Huber closed his eyes, nodded lightly with a thick sense of self-reproach on his face.
"Sure enough!" Qin Baichuan suddenly turned his head in his heart, gritted his teeth and said, "Do you know who it is?" Cheng Yangtian, Xiao Yu? ”
Hu Bo raised his head, shook his head slightly, and raised his right hand as if he wanted to gesture something, seeing that the meaning was clearly to confirm that Qu Xi had been kidnapped, but he didn't know who the other party was.
"Isn't there someone around Qu Xi to protect him? How could this happen! Qin Baichuan was annoyed, but now was not the time to blame Uncle Hu: "Where was the last time you saw Qu Xi?" On the way back to Wanhua Xiaozhu or Splendid Villa? Huber, you speak, speak! ”
What made Qin Baichuan anxious and angry was that when he asked about the critical moment, Hu Boshang didn't have time to answer, his eyes rolled, and he fainted straight. Qin Baichuan flattened Hu Bo, pinched his people hard, several attempts to no avail, at this time the footsteps behind moved, a figure floated over like a ghost, Huang Dezi was startled, only to see the figure pull Qin Baichuan up, looked down and looked at it, and said hatefully: "Sir, Hu Bo has already lost his strength, and he was hit by a sword in his left chest, if he is not treated in time, he may be worried about his life." ”
The person who came was a monkey who went to Wangjianglou to find people, and the three people behind him were Wuyin, Wufu and Wang Shenwu. Under the monkey's reminder, Qin Baichuan noticed that Hu Bo had a wound on his left chest that was more than two fingers wide, as if it had been washed by the river, and the skin and flesh turned out but no blood flowed out.
"Xiao Dezi, go find Lang Zhong immediately!" No matter how anxious he is, Uncle Hu's life hangs by a thread Qin Baichuan can't help it, Xiao Dezi got the order to run back quickly, Qin Baichuan didn't even have the mood to greet everyone: "Brother Wang, please send Hu Bo back to the Hundred Flowers Workshop the same way, and then guard in the Hundred Flowers Workshop, if anyone dares to come over to find trouble, kill him!" ”
"Okay." Wang Shenwu is actually not too familiar with Qin Baichuan, but now that the situation is urgent, he doesn't blame Qin Baichuan for his hurried tone, and he agreed to step forward and pick up Uncle Hu, and the cat exerted his strength under his waist and feet, and returned quickly.
"What the hell is going on, sir?" Qin Baichuan's face was ugly, and he untied his belt when he took over, and Wuyin couldn't help but ask.
"I'll talk about it later, come with me." Qin Baichuan wrapped his clothes and jumped into the water with a pop. The three of Monkey, Wuyin, and Wufu glanced at each other, and each tightened their clothes and followed behind Qin Baichuan, and entered the water one after another.
This sink is not very deep, Qin Baichuan held his clothes high, and when he was close to the edge, he sank his head into the water to look at it carefully. As he expected, nearly three-quarters of the rockery fell on the shore, and the remaining quarter waded into the river, the riverside beach was dug down for several meters, and load-bearing wooden piles were driven around the base of the rockery to prevent the rockery from tilting and collapsing.
Qin Baichuan took a deep breath and dived into the water, passed through the cave reserved by the rockery, and showed his head from the river. As soon as he took a breath, he heard the monkey behind him say in surprise: "It turns out that this secret passage leads directly to the mountain behind the workshop!" Look, sir, that's where the boat stops! ”
"Qu Xi was arrested." Qin Baichuan's face was gloomy: "Monkey, you go and row the boat over." ”
"Understood!" The monkey answered, swam to shore in one go, and then unfolded and rushed towards the fishing boat.
