Chapter 0349
Lu Ke's account five.
…………
…………
"Brother Lei, how long will it take to get to the Wolf King Fang?" Uncle Wang, who was behind Mo Si, looked at the deep forest and said dissatisfiedly.
Layers of green branches cover us like a roof, making the surroundings look a little dark.
…………
"It's about a quarter of an hour to go. It's all forests, and the paths are narrow, so you can't walk by sedan chair. ”
Lei Sheng turned his head sideways and replied.
…………
"Lei Gongzi, alas!!" Mrs. Tong, who was walking in the middle of the procession, asked Lei Sheng a question in a charming tone, and her clogs caused her to fall several times, "Can I call you Lei Gongzi?" You said you are the younger brother of the great butler of Rego, are you and the great butler brothers? Can you tell me? ”
Why do you ask? I don't quite understand. Lei Sheng replied, stepping forward again.
…………
"I heard Mo Si say that the age of the big housekeeper is not young." Mrs. Tong hurriedly squeezed behind Lei Sheng from the side of everyone.
"It's true that the butler and I are not brothers, but that doesn't matter. Although the chief butler is sixty-one years old, the housekeeper's wife is only twenty-seven. ”
…………
"Oh!!" Mrs. Tong's eyes widened in surprise.
At this age, she can already be the daughter of a big housekeeper.
"The big butler and the housekeeper's wife are sincere, the age gap is not a problem for them at all, after meeting them, you will understand. They actually get along very well. ”
"It's amazing. Not bad!! Two people with a sincere heart will not be separated by anything. ”
"It seems that Mrs. Tong is very insightful about this." Lei Sheng teased with a fierce expression.
…………
"I've seen it myself! Sometimes, I miss my deceased husband. Mrs. Tong said contrivedly with her head down.
…………
"That's good!!" After speaking, Lei Sheng let out a beautiful laugh.
…………
…………
Along the way, I kept an eye on the back of the line.
I walk slower than others. Mr. Ma San, who was in front of me, stopped from time to time to wait for me.
…………
To be honest, it's not that I can't walk fast, but that I have to guard against "human shadows" from behind.
Of course, although people don't know who it is, people shouldn't commit murder in front of everyone.
But I didn't want to die, and I didn't let go for a moment.
I have decided from the moment this journey begins.
Always be vigilant.
…………
I thought to myself.
Lei Sheng said just now that it would take about a quarter of an hour to walk to the Wolf King Fang.
It's almost time to arrive, right?
…………
At this moment, Mo Si in front suddenly gasped and let out a sigh of surprise.
After hearing the voice, Lai Mo suddenly stopped.
Mr. Ma San and I didn't have time to react, and we both bumped into the people in front of us.
…………
…………
I looked up to see what was going on.
Mo Si and Wang Bo stood at the corner in front of the trail.
The two of them stood in the shade of the trees under the gloomy sky, looking like an ink painting looking to the left.
Mrs. Tong and the others behind them also seemed to be greatly shocked by a certain scene.
…………
…………
"Look!!"
Mo Si turned his head, a happy and excited look appeared on his round face, and he said a long series of words anxiously and quickly, "It's the Wolf King Fang!" There's an old square there, and we've arrived! It's the Wolf King's Place! We're finally getting there!! ”
…………
…………
…………
Not bad.
May six.
We've finally found the Wolf King's Place.
No.
It should be said that we discovered the mysterious wolf king fang in the letter of the big housekeeper as invitees.
…………
…………
When we heard Mo Si's call, we all rushed up the narrow slope, squeezing the chubby man in the middle.
Look in the direction of his finger.
The bushes on the side rustled from the leaves and weeds to us.
…………
I thought I could see the whole picture of the Wolf King Fang.
But I was wrong.
Most of the ancient square was covered by fog, and only the center of the ancient square was as solid as a huge rock, and the wind direction wolf on the top of the square was revealed.........
…………
"Yes, that's the Wolf King's Place. It's a big deal!! Lei Sheng, who was one step ahead of me, said with a leisurely smile.
The exterior of the ancient square is very simple. Although I have only seen part of it, I have already felt its daunting weight.
…………
…………
The excitement of seeing the destination swept away the fatigue, and the scene was full of joy.
Everyone followed Lei Sheng and walked quickly.
The fir and pine trees above the head swayed in the cold wind, and the gray sky gave off the strange smell of rain coming soon.
But we only have the Wolf King Fang in our eyes.
…………
At the end of the trail, a paved path leads into the depths of the forest.
Walking here, the Wolf King Fang is actually close in front of you.
Through the cracks in the trees, you can see a stone wall standing on the ground.
There is something on the outer wall that I don't know if it's rock gray or something, and the color is blue-gray.
As soon as you walk through the paved path, you will come to a small square where the trees have been cut down all around.
Here, we finally came face to face with this wolf king square against the backdrop of dark clouds, strong winds and fog.
…………
…………
The outer courtyard wall of the Wolf King Fang has been blown by the wind and rain for many years, leaving stains and mottled traces, and there is also a lot of moss.
I couldn't help but stop, my body shaking.
I was left with a simple impression of the whole picture of the Wolf King Fang.
It is just a square stone building, with a square courtyard wall on the periphery, without any ornaments.
…………
…………
But it is precisely because of this that we can perceive the footprints of time from its deserted appearance, as well as the traces of the past that it is buried in the depths of memory.
…………
…………
"Come on!!"
Mr. Ma San, who was very moved, suddenly shouted, "It's exactly what I imagined." No, it's even better than I thought!! It's remarkable. There are such strange things in the world!! Ma San clasped his palms together, bowed respectfully, and looked up at the Wolf King's eyes shining brightly.
…………
…………
May six.
You should be able to imagine the appearance of the Wolf King Fang.
Its structure is both solemn and simple, completely different from other houses.
Of course, this ancient square was not seriously damaged.
…………
…………
The outer courtyard wall of the Wolf King Fang is surrounded by a cold square, and all the walls except the front are built into a flat cliff shape.
The outer courtyard wall is made of large stones, and there are almost no ornaments on the appearance, and the surface has been eroded and worn by wind and frost for many years, and there are many moss, stains, and dust covering it.
…………
…………
…………
"Guys, please move forward."
After hearing Lei Sheng's voice, I came back to my senses.
The people who helped us carry our luggage had arrived.
The door of the compound was rusty, and there was a slight rattling sound when it was pushed open.
Everyone walked into the gate of the compound one by one.
The thick courtyard door with rivets is opened inward.
…………
…………
After walking through the gate of the compound, we finally stepped into the Wolf King Fang.
How do I express that moment of thought?
It's not joy, it's not exciting, it's not fearful, it's a feeling that has never been felt so far.
Not only me, but also everyone else was speechless in surprise, and let out a sigh of relief.
…………
…………
What is the inside of the Wolf King Fang really like?
What kind of person is the Grand Butler Rego who invited us?
What happens here?
Who is the human being?
What will the human beings do when they come here?
My mind was filled with a mixture of anticipation and unease, doubts and curiosity.
I looked up at the oppressive main square, scanning the silk trails.
Finally, I raised my head and wanted to see the wind on the top of the fang.
…………
…………
"I've studied the ancient squares and built houses, and I've heard all kinds of ancient houses, and this one is really worth noting!! It can even be said to be a remarkable ancient workshop. Mr. Ma San straightened the collar of his shirt and was full of emotion.
…………
I don't know where he looked, but I was really curious about this old place, which seemed to be about to collapse.
The stone-paved atrium is large and simple.
Looking up, the Wolf King Fang seemed to be exaggeratedly high.
Although there are no ornaments, it gives people a sense of natural solemnity.
…………
…………
"On the left is the well pavilion. Thanks to this sip, only the people in the Wolf King's Fang have clean water to drink. ”
After listening to Lei Sheng's explanation, we walked towards the simple gate in the center of the main hall.
Mrs. Tong skillfully held his hand.
…………
…………
"By the way, Lei Gongzi, why is this workshop called the Wolf King Workshop?"
"When the weather is fine, if you look at this workshop from a distance, you will find that there is a wind on the top of the workshop." Lei Sheng escorted Mrs. Tong forward, "This may be the origin of the name!" The other dog meat shop has a wind for dogs. Climb to the top of the square and see it, it should be clear at a glance. ”
"I've been wondering since just now, where the hell is the dog meat shop?"
"I can't see the dog meat factory, because it just happened to be blocked by this one. The two ancient squares are symmetrical, just like ......... It's like a moon in the water......... The dog meat shop is located across the valley behind the main one. Lei Sheng said with a vibrant smile.
…………
…………
"There's a valley here?"
"Yes. But this forest not only encloses the Wolf King Fang, but even the edge of the valley cliff is also covered with dense plum forests, and you will not find the valley without going to the edge of the cliff. ”
A meal.
“……… In other words, this wolf king square stands on a cliff. As long as you walk to the edge of the cliff of the valley, you can see the deep and terrifying valley and the dog meat shop in Lingyun Valley. I'll take you to the edge of the cliff later, so you can enjoy this scene. ”
…………
…………
"Great, you must take me to see it!!" Mrs. Tong's face showed joy, and her body moved closer to Lei Sheng.
…………
…………
When everyone arrived at the Wolf King Fang, they were all excited.
Only Laimo was always silent.
Laimo doesn't seem to be tired of walking.
There was no tiredness on his face.
…………
Lai Mo seemed to be silent out of anger.
Mrs. Tong, who he missed, was very interested in Lei Sheng, and she was still by his side, frequently courting him.
Lai Mo should also understand that even if he can compete with Lei Sheng in appearance, Lei Sheng is the younger brother of Lei Ge's housekeeper, and in the Wolf King Fang, he has no chance of winning in terms of identity at all.
…………
…………
I gently evened my breath in front of the main gate and caught up with the people in front.
…………
Echoes of footsteps and voices were heard from all four walls.
Moment.
I felt as if I was in an unbreakable prison.
…………
…………
The gate is square like the courtyard gate, and it is carved with shallow reliefs.
The doors are open.
There was a subordinate in the door, and later learned that he was Dafeng, who seemed to have met once before, and did not remember that the face was waiting for us.
Dafeng, a middle-aged man of ordinary stature and a solemn expression, respectfully closed the door when we and our luggage had all entered.
An antique dim with a musty smell surrounded us.
…………
…………
…………
"Come, everyone in the back, please come in too." Lei Sheng's clear voice briefly sounded in the silent hall.
Since its completion, the solemnity and coldness accumulated over a long period of time have been deeply imprinted in the interior of the Wolf King Fang.
The thick stone walls sucked up all the noise of our footsteps.
The wind was dry, and my mood was a little heavy. Although there is no smell of death in legends and ancient stories, it does have a lot of musty smell and dust.
…………
…………
Once my eyes got used to the darkness, I began to look down the hall.
The roof slabs were tall and quite large, and only a few of us and our luggage were piled up in a small section.
There was a small wooden table with a kerosene lamp on top of it.
The lights glowed orange in the dim light.
There was a blank piece of paper hanging on the opposite wall, and I couldn't tell what it meant.
…………
Mr. Ma San quietly walked to the white paper and carefully observed it with his eyes for a while.
…………
…………
The people in front followed Lei Sheng to the big table.
The servant walked behind me, hung up the kerosene lamp, and lit it.
And the shadows of the crowd moved silently on the walls and on the ground like strange things.
…………
That's right.
May six.
When I first saw the plain appearance of the Wolf King Workshop without ornaments, I thought that the appearance of the workshop must be boring, with stone tables and chairs, scattered furniture, and simple and empty rooms, but fortunately, the truth is not as I imagined.
In fact, the Wolf King Fang is very suitable for people to live in, and the interior decoration and ordinary things are probably not bad.
It is arranged in an orderly manner so as not to make the whole look too flashy.
I don't know what kind of person Rego is, but I'm at least sure he's not a big man or a liar.
…………
…………
There were six lit kerosene lamps on the walls around the hall, glowing with small red flames, but not bright enough to illuminate the entire hall.
There was still a large amount of darkness left in the corner of the wide room.
…………
…………
The walls were polished brightly, and the firelight was very dark.
The floor was paved with grey and black slate and cleaned spotlessly.
…………
In addition, on the small table next to the door, there are also old porcelain and glass wine glasses as decorations, and each item is an old antiquity.
…………
…………
"What is your first impression of the Wolf King Fang?" Lei Sheng asked kindly, even in the Wolf King Fang, his words were still very clear.
"It's really good." Mrs. Tong was overjoyed, "The atmosphere and rooms here are so pleasant!! I heard that this ancient square has been uninhabited for several months, and I thought it would be very dilapidated!! ”
"More than 30 years ago, the great housekeeper Putian built this ancient workshop. Since then, it has been abandoned. The renovation started a month ago, and the interior was completed about half a month ago. The exterior of the Wolf King Workshop has hardly changed, and the interior of the main workshop has been rebuilt to suit people. ”
"But this workshop has been around for more than 30 years, it should be dilapidated, even if it is a stone house, it must be restored often to preserve, there is no house in the world that will never be broken." Mr. Ma San said.
…………
"You're right. Strangely, in the past 30 years, the weathering and damage of this square has not been serious, it is almost like a new one. ”
"So, no one has ever been to this place?"
"Yes." Lei Sheng nodded and said, "First of all, no matter how hidden this place is, even if someone finds it here, they probably don't want to live in this deserted ancient place." ”
…………
"Nobody has ever been......... Is that ........." Ma San showed a disappointed expression.
…………
…………
"Not necessarily......... There may be people who want to live in seclusion, or prisoners who have fled here, have been here!! Mo Si looked left and right, seeking approval.
"That's right! Thirty years ago, someone must have been here. What kind of people have been here? What did they go through? It's funny, and it can inspire the imagination like that. Mrs. Tong exclaimed exaggeratedly.
"I don't think the stories of these houses are very good. I didn't know your interest was so boring, Tong Li. The shopkeeper of Lai Mo rarely ridiculed her.
It may be that Lei Sheng's appearance made him feel left out.
…………
"It seems a little cold in here compared to that." I wrapped my right hand around my left shoulder and whispered.
"I'm sorry, there's a stove in the upstairs room." Lei Sheng apologized sympathetically.
…………
"Lei Sheng, are the ornaments and ordinary things here specially bought to make this place suitable for people?" Mr. Ma San asked.
"Most of the time, but it's not too difficult to get these ordinary things ready."
"I see. What kind of person is the chief butler? ”
…………
…………
"You'll find out when you see him. If I tell you now, I'll take away the interest of meeting you and the Great Butler. Lei Sheng was tight-lipped about everything about the big butler.
…………
In the hall, in addition to the wooden staircase leading to the second floor, there are several other doors leading to the adjacent rooms.
There are two east-west corridors on the second floor of the main hallway, and the rooms are roughly located on the north and south sides of the corridor.
…………
"In front is the study, on the right hand side is the large dining table, and on the left hand side is the living room." Lei Sheng explained in order.
"It turns out that each room has its own name!!" Mrs. Tong said happily, "This is really good! Do you say, come to Mo? ”
…………
"Everyone, please move to the big table, have a cup of tea, and take a rest. I'll send someone to deliver your luggage to your room. Lei Sheng raised his head slightly.
"Great, I'm just thirsty, and I'm hungry too. I really want to eat something," Mo Si said with a happy face.
…………
…………
"Where is our room?" Uncle Wang seemed to overshadow this passage and asked Lei Sheng.
"On the second floor. After everyone finished drinking tea, I took everyone around the workshop. ”
"I want to go outside the hospital. I want to see the wind direction wolf on the top of the wolf king's fang. Of course, if you can, take a trip to the edge of the cliff, and I would like to see the dog meat shop across the valley. Ma San's face was serious.
…………
…………
"Everyone, please." Lei Sheng nodded, waved his hand forward, and took the lead in walking.
Dafeng, a subordinate with a kerosene lamp in his hand, walked quickly in front of us in order to illuminate our feet.
But there were kerosene lamps on the wall, and Dafeng didn't have to do that.
…………
…………
"Lu Ke" came to me with his hands in front of him, squinting at Lei Sheng's back, "That pretending young man is really annoying!" It doesn't matter if he's a country doctor or the younger brother of a big housekeeper, it's very uncomfortable in short. ”
I didn't know what to say, so I casually chimed in.
…………
There are two doors on the right side of the gate and only one on the left. Lei Sheng stopped in front of the door on the left in the middle of the gate.
"This is the blade room, and there are a lot of iron armor and blades in it, all of which were made by the butler of Rego not long ago as ornaments."
"Can you take a look inside?" Ma San didn't finish his words.
The hand was already reaching out to open the door.
…………
"I'm sorry, I'll ask my servants to prepare the kerosene lamp inside, and then you can visit after you have finished your tea." Lei Sheng said kindly.
"Really? So be it!! Ma San dismissed the idea of visiting now and closed the open door.
………
The hall fell silent again.
The smell of oil wafted from the kerosene lamp.
The sound of our footsteps pierced the silence.
Shadows are also illuminated by kerosene lamps and wall lamps, creating complex and indescribable shadows.
…………
Out of the hall door. I casually looked at the end of the courtyard wall.
Taken aback.
A monstrous behemoth stood in the shadows.
A black ironclad figure.
I talked to Laimo, and only now did I find out about its existence.
…………
"Ahh Mo Si, who saw the ironclad figure, laughed so much that his stomach trembled, "This thing is really suitable for appearing in this deep forest old place, it's really interesting!" Don't you say, Ma San? ”
"Not bad." Mr. Ma San nodded, leaned his face to the ironclad figure, and looked closely.
The ironclad figure stands straight, holding a cannon in one hand, the muzzle of the cannon is pointed at the ground, and the overall shape is relatively round, with almost no other minor ornaments.
The same is basically true for portrait surfaces. The helmet was made of iron, the facial features of the face were prominent, and in addition to the transverse slits of the eyes, there were several ventilation holes.
When Dafeng brought the kerosene lamp close to the iron armor figure, the polished talisman iron armor reflected a faint shaking firelight.
The ironclad figure looks eerie.
It was almost expressionless, like a dead shell cast of steel.
…………
…………
"How many years ago was this? If it's really old, it should be worth a lot of silver!! Mo Si asked.
"Let's not talk about the silver, this ironclad figure is really finely made, and the neck is connected by chain mail. Furthermore......... Well, this leggings are also very finely made........."
But what interested Mr. Ma San was the cannon in the hand of the ironclad statue, which would be more than two feet.
He looked at everything from the tip to the handle, and then muttered in a low voice, "This is a cannon, not so rare, but ........."
…………
…………
"At the end of the two corridors on the second floor of the Wolf King Square, there is an ironclad figure, each of which has a different appearance, so you can use them to know where you are, and you won't get lost." Lei Sheng said with a smile.
"I see, it turns out that they are not guards, but guides. That's a great idea. Mo Si said loudly.
"Are there still many ironclad figures and blades in the blade room?" Ma San turned around, took off his glasses and asked Lei Sheng.
"Yes, a lot."
…………
"Really?" Ma San was excited, and looked at the blade room with longing eyes.
"Ma San, when we finish drinking tea and watching the wind wolf, let's go in and watch!!" Mo Si shook his head vigorously and said loudly.
…………
…………
"In that case, let's go! Over here. Lei Sheng turned around and led us to the gate of the compound.
…………
Outside the hospital.
Everyone looked up together.........
…………
…………
