Chapter 201: The Labyrinth of the Back Mountain
Lin Yuyan and Duanmu Qing nodded at the same time and said seriously: "Hmm! ”
Looking at their expressions and making sure that neither of them was lying, Han Lingyan turned his gaze to the unremarkable hillside in front of him.
"You don't know that, do you?" Lin Yuyan laughed loudly, "If it's not someone from the Marquis of Yongding's Mansion, you won't know." ”
He used to be the heir of the Yongding Marquis Mansion, so many times he unconsciously regarded himself as a person from the Yongding Marquis Mansion.
This is a friendship for the Duanmu family.
When Han Lingyan heard this, he was immediately unhappy, and glanced at him: "Anyway, my daughter-in-law just knew." ”
After speaking, he walked to Duanmu Qing's side with his head held high, stretched out his hand, and pulled her into his arms.
A sentence suddenly extinguished Lin Yuyan's pride, and a trace of gloom flashed in his eyes.
Duanmu Qing frowned slightly, and said lightly: "Let's go first and find out!" ”
Lin Yuyan also lost the mood to show his superiority in front of Han Lingyan, and walked to a seemingly ordinary big tree stump.
He turned back to the two of them and said, "Let's go!" ”
Of course, Duanmu Qing knew the key here, but Han Lingyan squinted his eyes slightly.
When I got closer, I realized that what I had always thought was a small hole in the weeds.
The entrance to the cave was slanted down, and the three of them didn't have to get into it.
After entering it, I realized that there was a world in this cave.
The further down the path, the wider the path becomes, and the trail, which was originally only large enough for one person to pass sideways, can be done by two people at the back.
Just walked for a while, and came across a three-way intersection.
Lin Yuyan and Duanmu Qing didn't look at each other, and walked to the left road at the same time.
Not for a moment, it was the same situation again.
And this time, the two of them walked together on the right road.
And so on and so on many times.
Duanmu Qingcai couldn't help but look at Lin Yuyan and smiled: "Brother Yan, what a memory!" ”
Speaking of this, Lin Yuyan raised his head: "You have to remember to die, that time, you almost starved me to death inside." ”
The two of them are like this again, and they seem to have a tacit understanding in it.
Han Lingyan was a little unhappy in his heart for some reason, and he didn't seem to care: "Where do these roads lead?" How do you go on a stump? ”
Thinking of the time when he was a child, Duanmu Qing still sighed: "This was dug by my grandfather in the past, and I don't know what it was intended to be used for, but the path here, if it is not a familiar person, it will not be able to get out at all." ”
"So, you all call this a labyrinth?"
"The road in here is bent and curved, and people who are not surnamed Duanmu have no way of knowing."
Han Lingyan glanced at Lin Yuyan, but he didn't say anything after all, but the unhappy feeling in his heart became more obvious.
The three of them walked all the way inside, and Han Lingyan knew that this was in the belly of the mountain behind the hillside, and he couldn't help but be curious.
"Didn't you go in? Why don't you know what's in it? ”
Duanmu Qing shook his head, we didn't see anything after we went in that time, and after that, no one went in again.
These words make people more and more curious, after wasting so much effort and digging out such a strange place, it is vacant here.
After walking for about half an hour, I finally came to a place where there were no more forks in the road.
This time it was a door, a stone door.
For this door, Duanmu Qing and Lin Yuyan have both seen it, and they stretched out their hands and pushed it open, but there was no opportunity.
Inside is a stone chamber.
A bed, a table, a bookcase, and nothing else.
None of these things are necessarily precious.
Unexpectedly, there was lamp oil in the lamp on the table, which made the three of them feel at ease.
No one has come in all these years, and it is impossible for this oil to be there, so it can only mean that someone has come in later.
There was nothing nice to see on the bed, just a mat.
That's all there is to the bookshelf!
This is how this bookshelf used to be. However, there are not many books on it.
In this way, in this room, there are probably only a few cabinets under the bookcase.
The lights on the table were lit, and the three of them went into action.
Duanmu Qing searched the cabinet, Han Lingyan checked the things on the bookcase, and Lin Yuyan searched for it elsewhere in the room.
"Qing'er, what do you think this is?"
Han Lingyan suddenly took out something from that bookcase and handed it to Duanmu Qing.
In his hand was a small, very delicate purse, embroidered with forget-me-no-worry grass.
Forget the worries!
Duanmu Qing's heart moved, and he hurriedly took it.
In this way, it looks like this purse is some years old, and the embroidery threads on it are a little faded.
"Doesn't the second aunt like the most forgetful grass? Could it be hers? ”
It was because Qiu Tian liked the Forget Worry Grass that Duanmu Qing nervously took it and looked at it.
However, she shook her head: "No, this forget-you-forget grass is not from my mother's hand. ”
At the end, he added: "This embroidery method is more exquisite than my mother's." ”
I don't know why, even though I know that this is not Qiu Tian's thing, when Duanmu Qing held it in his hand, he felt a stirring in his heart inexplicably.
"What's in there?" Han Lingxian is not her, and she doesn't care about this purse.
Only then did he remind Duanmu Qing, and hurriedly opened the purse and took out the contents inside.
When I took it out, I found that it was a wooden card, two inches square.
Ginkgo biloba traits seem to be nothing out of the ordinary.
I don't know what kind of paint was used to write some incomprehensible patterns on it.
Duanmu Qing looked at it for a long time, and then looked at the two of them.
Lin Yuyan shook his head: "I've never seen the pattern on it, it seems to be words, and it doesn't seem to be." ”
Han Lingyan's heart moved, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his head: "Qing'er, I've seen a similar pattern. ”
"Where?"
"On you!"
"Huh?" Duanmu Qing was stunned, there didn't seem to be a tattoo or anything like that on his body, "On me?" ”
"Your handman."
Hearing him say this, Duanmu Qing remembered the thing that grew on his left arm.
Hurriedly rolled up his sleeves, and sure enough, there seemed to be some patterns on them.
Hurriedly leaned under the lamp to take a closer look.
At this time, Duanmu Qing had a strange feeling in her heart, as if something was slowly approaching her.
And when she saw the pattern on the hand, she was also surprised.
Sure enough, as Han Lingyan said, although the patterns on these two things are different, it can be seen that they are of the same category.
"Where did you get this handsmith from?"
After Lin Yuyan found that this thing could not be taken off Duanmu Qing's hand, the first question he wanted to ask was this.
Han Lingyan was naturally very curious, and the two of them looked at Duanmu Qing with their four eyes in unison.
However, in her mind, the enchanting man in the small courtyard came.
For this man, Duanmu Qing has a feeling that is very unusual.
Although we have only met once, I always feel that he has an extraordinary relationship with me.
Moreover, there is a faint feeling of rejection that exposes him to the eyes of the world.
"I ......" After hesitating, Duanmu Qing shook his head, "This is a friend who sent it, but ...... I can't tell you who he is. ”
Lin Yuyan and Han Lingyan have an ordinary relationship with her, and she doesn't want to deceive them.
Obviously, both men were a little disappointed.
But at the same time, I didn't want to embarrass her, so soon, the conversation changed again.
I don't know what kind of psychology it is, Duanmu Qing didn't put the purse back to its original place, but silently put it in his arms.
The three of them no longer cared about these things, but continued to look for them.
The thing was not found, but soon the three of them found out that this place was not used by Old Man Duanmu to store any confidential things.
And it is purely used to commemorate one person, and that person is Duanmu Jing.
Because there are not many things here, but they are enough to show who they belong to.
But at the same time, they also found that many of the things here showed signs of damage.
Especially clothing and accessories.
It was because of these traces that they were even more sure that Aunt Qin had been here.
"Found it!" Just when Han Lingxi and Duanmu Qing were hurriedly rummaging.
Lin Yuyan's voice came from there.
Then I saw him come out from under the bed, holding a black cloth bag in his hand.
"Sure enough, I hid it deeply, and I actually installed a mechanism on the bed board, if I hadn't touched the bed board and felt that the sound was wrong, I would never have found it."
The three of them didn't hesitate, opened the cloth bag, and checked the things.
Because it was expected, I wasn't very surprised, but I was still a little relieved.
After all, something has been found.
"It seems that this case won't drag on for a few days, oh we have to hurry, now that the things have been obtained, it can be regarded as half the success."
Han Lingyan put the cloth bag on his back and smiled at Duanmu Qing with a reassuring smile.
There is no need to stay long in this place, time waits for no one.
But when Lin Yuyan opened the door, his footsteps stopped.
"What's wrong? Writing? ”
Lin Yuyan didn't answer him immediately, but stood there quietly for a while.
"Did you smell anything? You guys! ”
"Smoke!"
Almost as soon as Lin Yuyan asked, Han Lingyan said coldly.
"Someone's coming! They want to smoke us to death! ”
Duanmu Qing frowned.
This place is in the middle of the mountain, surrounded by rocks and mud, and the humidity is relatively high.
Burning with fire will certainly not work, but with smoke, it is the best and best way.
"What to do?!" Lin Yuyan could naturally think of where these smoke came from.
This stone chamber did not play an important role, so when it was excavated and built, it was not thought of leaving a way back.
Meaning, they're in a dead end.
The smell of smoke seemed to be stronger, and Duanmu Qing's throat had been smoked once, and he felt more sensitive at this time, so he coughed lightly.
When Han Lingyan heard this, his heart was cold, and he sneered on his face: "Since they are here, they don't want to think about leaving." ”
