Before noon on the second day, Zhang Erzhen was dressed as a man and took Xiangxiu, who was dressed as a man, down the tunnel, and waved goodbye to the worried golden autumn and silver autumn, Zhang Erzhen climbed very neatly.

I slept late last night, and I got up late this morning, but my body was much better, my steps were brisk, and I was in a good mood, and Zhang Erzhen felt that she was now strong enough to kill a cow. The tunnel was still like that, and the green jade and white jade on both sides glowed with a warm luster, shining on the two petite men who were hurrying in their footsteps. Until Zhang Erzhen and the two walked into the crystal coffin, they didn't see half of the people, "Didn't we come early, Mama You hasn't arrived yet......" Zhang Erzhen muttered while stopping and looking around, Xiangxiu followed behind with a defensive look.

The people in the ear room heard the footsteps, and quietly poked their heads out with cautious faces, saw two short men, glanced at the corners of their mouths with disdain, and said, "You can be regarded as coming, if you don't come again, I will go back." ”

Looking at the sound, out of the ear chamber came out of a teenage boy, wearing coarse gray clothes, a black belt around his waist with a black cloth bag hanging, and gray cloth shoes on his feet, looking like a peasant boy, very simple.

"You're here to take us out?" Zhang Erzhen was not surprised, after all, Mama You was so old that it was difficult to walk, and if Mama You took them out, they would have to take care of Mama You.

"Isn't it, Mama said, an hour can't be delayed, let's go and come back quickly, I'm busy." As he spoke, the little boy pulled out two black blindfolds from his black bag and handed them over, "You have to blindfold me before I can take you out." Also, don't look at me as a child and try to fool me, if you play tricks in front of me, I won't take you out. ”

Zhang Erzhen took the blindfold and looked at it over and over, and said angrily: "Didn't Mama You tell you, we are a fair deal, if you are so arrogant, be careful that one of us is unhappy, and clean you up first." Also, how to call you, you can't be called your little father-in-law. ”

"Hmph, who is the little father-in-law, it's good if you call me Yougu, I'm Mama's grandson. ”

Zhang Erzhen handed Xiangxiu an eye patch, and then tied one to herself. Seeing that the two of them were very obediently ready, You Gu nodded with satisfaction, and took out a rope from the black bag and held it for them, "So that we can go out, don't you mind." ”

Zhang Erzhen knew that this scene must not be good-looking, but she still held the end of the rope and nodded, just walk. Then there was a slight rumbling sound of the mechanism opening in his ears, and You Gu's low voice came from the front, "Seven steps forward, raise your feet one foot." The rope in his hand was tight, Zhang Erzhen walked seven steps in the direction of the rope, and then raised his feet and stepped up the high steps, "Now you are not allowed to speak, just walk." You Gu's voice came again, it seemed to be far away, Zhang Erzhen tightened the rope and continued to move forward, her lowered eyelids saw her black shoes stepping on the white jade, no wonder it was so slippery. After walking for a while, he began to turn, and the white jade under his feet turned into bluestone bricks, and it was very difficult to walk unevenly.

"Hurry up, it's going to get dark. You Gu urged, Zhang Erzhen was too lazy to take care of him, how fast he wanted to walk blindfolded, this kid was not human at all.

After walking for another quarter of an hour, he crossed the threshold of one foot again, and the bluestone bricks under his feet turned into red bricks and stones, and the paving was also very smooth, and the originally quiet and silent tunnel also made some noises, and it seemed that the rustling sound outside could be heard. Zhang Erzhen let out a long sigh and asked, "Are we almost there, do you have to walk for so long every time?"

"We naturally have secret passages, and we won't let you know about them. This road is far away, but going out is the closest to the center of Fengyang City, Mama said, you girls are pitiful, it's rare to go out, go to the city for a walk. You Gu's tone was a little proud, as if waiting for Zhang Erzhen to thank him, Zhang Erzhen fulfilled his wish, "You talk counted, but you are a good person, Mama sent you, presumably you are still liked by Mama." ”

"That is, among our grandchildren, Mama's favorite is me. ”

Zhang Erzhen smiled and nodded, "You must be happy to let you come out to accompany us, can't you come out often?"

"When I go inside, who can say that I can come out if I want to, I'm here to watch you, to be honest, I haven't come out to see it for a long time. You Gu's voice was a little low.

"So you should thank us too, this is a rare opportunity. Can the blindfold be taken off?" Zhang Erzhen saw that the ground under his feet had turned into land, and the light was brighter, and he knew that they were about to go out, so he ripped off the blindfold without waiting for You Gu to reply. Squinting their eyes for a while before they slowly opened, they were still in the tunnel, the walls on both sides were made of dark gray masonry, and not far away was a door, and the two one-foot square holes in the door were bright and bright. Xiangxiu walked a few steps behind her, Zhang Erzhen went over to help her take off the blindfold, and was surprised to find that Xiangxiu was actually with her eyes open, Xiangxiu smiled at her, with a nonchalant face. Zhang Erzhen secretly put her blindfold on her eyes, and although the scene in front of her was blurry, she could see four or five points, so ...... Along the way, Xiangxiu has seen it?

You Gu saw that they all took off their blindfolds, and muttered, "It's okay, it's all here, see it when you see it." Seeing that there is no door in front of us, let's go out, there are two guards outside, just ignore them when you go out, Mama said hello in advance. These things who see money and open their eyes recognize money......"

Zhang Erzhen nodded and walked forward, this door is not big, but it is quite difficult to push it open, looking at the grinning You Gu, Zhang Erzhen and Xiangxiu are all looking at the leisurely appearance of a good time, You Gu originally wanted to call them to help, but the words came to his mouth and swallowed back, what are you kidding, a big man still needs two women to help, does he want to live. With a blushing face, You Gu finally opened the door through a crack, and with more effort, he could finally let one person through. Zhang Erzhen went out sideways, Xiangxiu followed, You Gu grabbed the door, and with a "whoosh", he also drilled out, and then panted heavily.

There were really two guards outside the door, and when they saw them coming out, they didn't even raise their eyelids, and the big man on the left glanced at the expressionless opening of the sun, "It's past three quarters, and if you don't come back at three o'clock, you have to close the door." ”

You Gu didn't reply to him, and swaggered forward after catching his breath. The place where they came out was a bleak jungle, the ground was covered with fallen leaves, and the autumn wind rustled through the trees. Zhang Erzhen followed You Gu to the west, and You Gu said with his hands behind his back quite magnificently: "Where do you want to go, do you plan to buy gold and silver jewelry or soft clothes, or let's go for a big meal?" The food inside is really not good, it is very unpalatable." I heard that the old hen soup here is very delicious, I really want to taste it......" You Gu licked his lips and looked at Zhang Erzhen with some longing, but Zhang Erzhen replied very neatly: "Go to the teahouse with the most people in the city or ...... At the entrance of the county office. If you don't want to go, just find a place to wait for us, and we'll just go back and meet. ”

"That's not possible, I have to follow you every step of the way. You Gu's head shook like a rattle, and a pair of big eyes stared at Zhang Erzhen.

Zhang Erzhen's footsteps didn't stop, "Then don't talk nonsense, let's go quickly." ”

You Gu was a little surprised: "You have to go to the teahouse to do something, there are a lot of fish and dragons, and it is easy to have accidents." In addition, I advise you, since you are all here, don't count the useless ones, you can't run away. And I heard others say it......" You Gu leaned over mysteriously and whispered, "...... No one has been let out of this high wall, except ...... Locked up for thirty years. You Gu looked at Zhang Erzhen sympathetically, looking at the young one, if he was really locked up for thirty years, he would be an old woman when he went out. Poor girl, what the hell did she do to get locked up?

You Gu's sympathy was obvious, but Zhang Erzhen didn't have much time to ink with him: "You have to listen to me when you come out, let's go quickly, hire a carriage and horse when there are people, if you just walk on two legs, it will really be dark." ”

You Gu pursed his lips and looked at Xiangxiu and said, "You don't have any opinions, she says to go wherever she goes?"

Xiangxiu smiled and shook her head to say that she had no opinion, You Gu heard Mama say that one of the two women couldn't speak, knowing that the older one was a mute and a little boring kicking, and then watched Xiangxiu follow closely behind Zhang Erzhen, walking fast, and followed with a sigh.

In ancient times, Fengyang, Anhui Province was very underdeveloped, and most of the people wore gray or dark coarse cloth clothes like Yougu, or walked on their backs or carrying cloth bags, stepping on their own sewn cloth shoes, and some people stepped on straw sandals, revealing dirty toes. Zhang Erzhen looked at his clothes and sighed: Fortunately, he didn't wear the silk handed over by Jin Qiu.

The place where they came out was really close to the city, and after only two quarters of an hour, the people were already crowded, and the woman holding the child walked down the street with a smile on her face, and the small vendors on both sides shouted enthusiastically, and You Gu came up again and said: "It seems that today is the day of the market, we are really lucky." ”

The excitement and excitement in You Gu's eyes were obvious, it was a child after all, Zhang Erzhen suggested again: "Why don't you go play for a while, and let's meet here later?"

You Gu shook his head very resolutely: "No, no, grandma told me to look at you, I don't dare to go, and I can't go." ”

“...... Then I'll buy you whatever you want to eat. Zhang Erzhen pointed to the sachet on his waist and said magnificently: "After buying, let's find a car and go to the teahouse to sit for a while." ”

"Mama gave me the money, and said I would use it when I bought something for you. Yugu also pointed to the black bag on his waist with a proud expression.

Zhang Erzhen looked at his black bag and secretly wondered, looking at its unsightly gadgets, but it contained a lot of things.

You Gu still bought two bags full of food, and the crab shell yellow baked cake alone was filled with a bag, he said: This thing is only available in autumn when the crab is fat, buy more and bring it back to Mama to eat. Then the three of them hired an ox cart for twenty yuan, and the three of them sat on it and wandered to the largest teahouse in Fengyang, Zhi Yaxuan.

On both sides are uneven black tile ancient buildings, which are diametrically opposed to the magnificent atmosphere of the high walls, and the city reveals a strong sense of peace and stability, that is, the footsteps of pedestrians are slow, and there is a proper smile on their faces. The old man who was driving the car gently shouted at the sturdy cow and said enthusiastically: "I heard that where Zhi Yaxuan is, the people who go are all literate scholars and nobles, and a bowl of tea there costs dozens of dollars.

Zhang Erzhen smiled and said, "The old man knows so much, he must also be a frequent visitor to Zhi Yaxuan, right?"

"How is it possible," the old man's head shook around, "The old man only knows that Zhi Yaxuan has a few perennial storytellers, and we all like to listen to what he says, so there are often many people around outside, and Zhi Yaxuan doesn't pick us up, just entertain us when we go in, and don't care if we don't go in, just one, don't disturb the guests inside, so the old man has also listened to it a few times, haha." ”

You Gu was holding a piece of baked cake and gnawed on the corners of his mouth with crumbs, and then took out a baked cake and handed it to the old man very angrily: "Listen to it like this, this Zhi Yaxuan is really a good place for people, why haven't you heard of it before, it was newly opened recently?"

"It's been open for a few years, but there weren't so many people going before, and I heard that a new owner was changed half a year ago, and the new owner has money, and what he earns is popularity. The stories told by the storyteller are also very interesting, and we have never heard of them, so many sons and daughters of wealthy official families also wrap themselves in the private rooms and stay in them all year round. ”

The speed of the ox cart is just right, "da-da" quickly arrived at Zhiya Street, the old man pointed to the crowded two-story small building in front of him: "The car can't go any further, you go over, if you still want to take the car when you go back, go to the stone monument over there to find the old man, and the old man will take you back." ”

Zhang Erzhen jumped off the cow lane and walked towards the crowded place in front of him, and vaguely heard the excited voices of the people on the side of the road: "But it happened that Miss Han said today, there are so many people here, I'm afraid there will be no seats." ”

The closer you get to Zhi Yaxuan, the louder the sound becomes, and the big plaque of Zhi Yaxuan is crowded with men, all of whom are looking in with their heads cocked. Zhang Erzhen wanted to take two steps closer but was pulled by Xiangxiu's sleeve, Xiangxiu shook her head at her, signaling not to go over, it's too messy here. Zhi Yaxuan walked out of a middle-aged man in a green cloth robe, just raised his hand and pressed it down gently, and the crowd of onlookers instantly quieted down, "...... Thank you for visiting today, if you are willing to enter the door, please enter, and if it is inconvenient to enter the door, please move to the square window, Miss Han has arrived, and today's activities will start in a while. Before the words fell, the crowd of talented people was divided into two groups in an orderly manner, it was obvious that the brightly dressed people walked in, and the coarse cloth people were very excited to go to both sides, Zhang Erzhen pulled Xiangxiu, signaled You Gu, who was still eating, to follow, and the three of them strode into Zhiyaxuan.
